“What Zuo An did to the Gu family was because he wanted to be the successor of Zuo Corporation. But that was also a direction from your father, so your father was behind it. What grudge did he hold against Gu family? From what I know, the Gu family and the Zuo family used to be on good terms, and had never crossed path all these years. The Zuo family even owed the Gu family a huge favor.”
Zuo Si laughed again. “Xu Weilai, I said it wrong earlier. We’re just allies, not friends. I don’t need to tell you matters about my father. You should know this is a limit.”
Xu Weilai nodded and said nothing else.
The cooperation she had with Zuo Si was only limited to defeating Zuo An. Zuo Si was still part of the Zuo family, she still had her own consideration.
However, this was reasonable too. It would be unimaginable if she helped Gu Yu and the Gu family without any condition.
“Oh yea.”
Zuo Si pointed at her phone with her slender fingers, “My assistant called just now. Zuo An and my father already know that you’ve been bailed. Since my father was the one that send in the evidence to get you convicted, he won’t let you walk free. Gu Yu exposed himself to save you. They will take their action soon. Have you thought about what to do next?”
“I have some thoughts about it.”
She did not continue to explain after saying them. Instead, she asked, “Just the two of us? Aren’t we going to discuss it with Gu Yu too?”
Zuo Si raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly. “Gu Yu has already delegated all the matters to me. We can talk about it between just two of us.”
She continued after a pause, “Xu Weilai, you’ve also seen Gu Yu’s current situation. His body is too weak, so he can only rest and recuperate. There was no way he could join us for our discussion.”
“No matter what you think about Gu Yu, what you want to say, or what he feels about you, all these have to wait until we defeated Zuo An. After we find out what Zuo An did to Gu Yu’s health and cured him, we can talk about your matter with him.”
“And to be direct, you and Gu Yu were divorced. I’m his fiancée now. So it would be logical if I am to represent him.”
Xu Weilai’s eyes darkened as her face clouded by a hint of disappointment. Even her tone turned melancholic, “You don’t need to continue. I understand.”
Zuo Si smiled in satisfaction when she saw that she finally upset Xu Weilai. “Then, you can start telling me what you think.”
Xu Weilai rubbed her head between her brows and took a deep breath. She calmed herself down and started, “If Gu Yu doesn’t show up and can’t prove that he’s still alive, then I won’t be able to clear my name. Therefore, I’ll need Gu Yu to make an appearance and hold a press conference to clarify that the news of me killing him was fake. He could also regain the confidence of the directors of Gu Corporation at the same time. Even if Zuo An holds another board meeting, he could not be able to lay his hand on the CEO position easily. Half of his share is now mine after all.”
Zuo Si’s brows furrowed as she listened. “I’ll need to think about it.”
Dim light flashed across Xu Weilai’s eyes. She stood up and said, “Take your time to think about it. I’ll go check on Gu Yu again.”
