...
"Brother, can you let us go?"
A man in a suit stood in front of the table in the office of the president of Gusheng Group. He looked at the man sitting on the chair with anxiety in his eyes, and his tone was full of helplessness.
The man he was praying for just closed his eyes and leaned casually on the back of the leather chair. His long legs were folded together and resting lazily on the table. His shiny leather shoes were very eye-catching.
There are only two of them in this office.
When Gu Xiuyuan heard what he said, he lazily opened his eyes and sneered:
"cannot."
"Why?!" The man standing in front of Gu Xiuyuan was very puzzled, and his tone seemed a little aggressive, but it could still be seen that he was trying his best to hold back, "Brother, what should we do so that you can let us go. Gu Sheng The whole group has been handed over to you. We don’t fight anymore, and we have no ability to continue fighting. Are you going to destroy the entire Gu family because of an adopted daughter of the Gu family who has no blood relationship? !”
There was silence in the air for a long time.
"Since you mentioned this..." Gu Xiuyuan raised the corners of his lips lightly and changed the topic, "That's not without discussion."
"What, you say!" The man looked very anxious and took two steps forward involuntarily, asking as if he was drowning in water and grabbing a life-saving straw.
The Gu family is already in danger, and they can't let go of any opportunity that seems to save the situation.
Gu Xiuyuan said in a low voice: "I want you to apologize to this adopted daughter in person until she is satisfied."
"this!"
The man looked puzzled, but did not dare to attack directly. When he had been thinking for a long time and wanted to say something, the secretary outside came in and interrupted the conversation between the two.
He could only step aside in embarrassment to make way for the secretary.
The secretary walked straight to Gu Xiuyuan, bent down and whispered a few words in his ear.
Gu Xiuyuan put his legs down and sat upright. His expression became more serious the more he listened, and the laziness in his eyes completely disappeared, with a bit of his usual indifference.
After the secretary finished speaking, he stood next to Gu Xiuyuan and waited for instructions.
Gu Xiuyuan raised his hand and said calmly: "Go prepare a car for me and call some people."
Gu Xiuyuan's expression was obviously normal, but his eyes were deep and dark, as if just looking at them would make him panic, making people afraid to look directly.
"Okay." The secretary bowed slightly and walked out of the office.
What else does the man want to say.
Gu Xiuyuan didn't want to hear a word anymore. He sat at the table and quickly returned to work. He opened the documents he wanted to read in the morning and without even raising his head, he stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.
The only sound left in the office was the crisp sound of paper turning.
"..." The man had no choice but to worry that Gu Xiuyuan wouldn't even give them this chance if he kept talking.
Before he left, he looked back at Gu Xiuyuan, shook his head and left here helplessly.
...
The man drove back to the Gu family's large villa with a dejected expression.
"He's back, he's back." Everyone in the house had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw the man coming back, they all rushed to greet him.
A lady wearing a red cheongsam and a white mink fur shawl slowly came downstairs. Every movement showed her confidence and elegance.
Everyone made way for her in the middle.
The lady's smile was elegant and calm, but her tone revealed her inner anxiety and panic:
"What's going on? What did Xiaoyuan say?"
"Mr. Gu said you can let us go." The man said weakly with his shoulders hunched and his eyes looking tired.
"Really?" A smile overflowed from the corner of the lady's eyes, and the wrinkles on her face were visible.
The others also looked obviously relaxed, and the discussion gradually became louder.
"I knew Xiu Yuan wouldn't be so heartless."
"It's great, it's great, it scared me to death. I thought we were really finished."
"There's no need to be together today, let's just relax."
"But... Mr. Gu said there are conditions for letting us go." The man's voice suddenly became louder, interrupting everyone's discussion.
Everyone's footsteps immediately stopped. Many people who originally wanted to leave came back again. They asked anxiously:
"What conditions?"
The courtyard of Pavilion Waterside Pavilion is very quiet, with only the sound of gurgling rockery water.
The man's voice was not loud, but it sounded very clearly in the hall:
"Mr. Gu said that all of us must apologize to Gu Miaomiao until she is satisfied."
"..."
There was silence in the hall for several minutes.
"Ah? Gu Miaomiao, who is it?" A voice suddenly emerged from the crowd.
Gu Miaomiao moved out from the Gu family very early. Many people had forgotten the existence of this person, and everyone looked at each other in silence.
But some people still remember:
"Is she the adopted daughter? I remember that the adopted daughter was indeed named Gu Miaomiao."
When other people heard about this identity, they all thought about it and said in surprise:
"Ah? Is it her?! How did she get involved with Xiu Yuan?"
"This...she seemed to have had a miserable life in the Gu family before, but it has nothing to do with me. It must have been one of you who bullied her."
"It wasn't me. I didn't even stay at home for long."
"Gu Liangyuan was the one who bullied me the most back then. Didn't I hear that he returned to China some time ago? He has disappeared and no one can find him."
"Haha, don't even think about revealing your identity. It seems that Xiu Yuan wants all of us to apologize?"
"It's been so many years...why does Xiu Yuan have to stand up for an adopted daughter?"
"Let us apologize to an outsider? What kind of ecstasy did Xiuyuan take? This is completely beyond our reach. Is it possible to kill all of us in the Gu family just because of an outsider?!"
"What's the point of talking so much? How can we still not apologize? Gu Xiuyuan has already chosen the path for us!"
"Even if he is an outsider, so what. Who said you are not the president of Gusheng Group? What you say without the right is useless. If you have a backer, you can do whatever you want. If you want to continue living here , you have to keep your tail between your legs and make money while standing still, how could such a good thing happen?"
"Actually, I think Xiuyuan's conditions are not particularly difficult to deal with. Just apologize. It's just a few words. It's better than asking us to drink the northwest wind directly. We might as well go back and think about what we've done. I'm sorry. It’s Gu Miaomiao’s business.”
Everyone was yelling at each other, which made the lady have a headache.
"Okay, stop talking." The lady frowned slightly, covered her nose with the silk handkerchief tied around her waist and said, "Just do what Xiaoyuan said, and we will make an appointment to come and apologize."
