Chapter 393: 393 Sleep together, but don’t hold me (2)_1
""Really?"
When did that brat Gu Mengmeng become so close to Ye Fei?
"Forget it, let her be, she’ll come back when she’s had her fun."
Eleven remained silent all the while.
"Speaking of which..." Gu Liancheng’s eyes landed on Eleven, "if Gu Tianyu is indeed keeping an eye on you, we might have to keep our divorce hushed for a while. When the time comes, I would appreciate it if you continue to play along."
"..."
Su Bai coughed lightly and went out with the others, leaving only the two of them in the sickroom.
Eleven, laying on the sofa, asked, "Mr. Gu, if...I mean, if you were to lose the CEO election to Third Young Master, what would happen then?"
"There would be a bit of fluctuation in the stock market. If Gu Tianyu can immediately steady it, it will soon return to a stable state. As for me, I would of course, become penniless," Gu Liancheng shrugged at her.
"What? Just like that, you’d become penniless?" Eleven was slightly incredulous. "You’ve held this position for numerous years...and you would become penniless just like that?"
She always felt that with Gu Liancheng’s ability, even if Gu Tianyu was unkind and ceased giving any financial support, the money he had earned so far wouldn’t make him broke instantly, right...?
Eleven wasn’t so naive to believe everything he said.
He had houses and cars. Even if there were no further financial reinforcements, if he lived thriftily and stayed at home all day, he could still do so for his whole life.
Besides, he couldn’t possibly be poorer than her, right?!
She could survive, why should she worry about him?
"Is Qianxun...worried that I might lose?" Gu Liancheng tilted his mouth.
"No! Why should I worry about you? I was just curious..." Eleven mumbled, "I heard... those who have fallen from the throne generally do not end well..."
Like Gu Anyi and Gu Tiancheng, for example?
Gu Liancheng, being prudent, could easily guess what Eleven was thinking right now. He twitched a corner of his mouth: "Are you saying that Gu Anyi’s death, Gu Tiancheng’s imprisonment, and Gu Tianyu’s exile were all my doing?"
This was one of the most speculated outcomes of the power struggles within the Gu Family by the outside world.
There were quite a few similar speculations, all of which eventually landed on him, the final victor.
Eleven was taken aback for some reason and hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands: "No, not at all! I didn’t say anything of the sort, I just said... Gu Tianyu looks like a ’bad’ character written all over his face, so Mr. Gu, you have to try hard! Don’t lose to him, otherwise you’ll be bullied by him."
Looking at her anxious expression, Gu Liancheng only laughed a bit, not continuing the conversation or intending to tell her how it really was.
The affairs of the Gu Family were none of her business as someone who had already left him. She didn’t need to know.
He closed the file and prepared to get off the bed.
"What are you doing?" Eleven tensed up. He wasn’t going to kill her to silence her, was he? She didn’t know anything!
"Showering, what else could it be? Why, do you want to help me clean?"
Eleven shook her head frantically, "No way! You do your thing, I’m going to sleep!" Having said that, she laid down on the sofa and closed her eyes, ignoring him.
Gu Liancheng said nothing, and went into the bathroom with a faint smile on his face.
Only when she heard him shutting the bathroom door did Eleven dare to open her eyes again.
It was a bit early, and she couldn’t sleep.
She took a walk around the spacious sickroom.
It was no different from where he lived. There was even a bookshelf, with quite a few books on it.
