Chapter 338 — It Came True

Moreover, even if the evidence were dug up, there was no telling how much of it would actually hold up, and no telling how long a lawsuit would drag on. The second road was far cleaner. As long as Jin Gubang was not a fool, he would surely choose the second road.

Sure enough, Jin Gubang did not disappoint Gu Pengzhan.

"Fine, eighty million then, it is settled!" Jin Gubang had no mind to haggle with Gu Pengzhan. He had more pressing trouble to deal with. With this eighty million, he could open a smaller real estate company and give it to Young Master Bing as compensation. Surely then Li Cihua would stop coming after him?

Jin Gubang felt he had lost on every front. Not only had he failed to take the chairman's seat, he had ended up slinking away from the company in disgrace. His shares were gone, exchanged for a mere eighty million, and even that eighty million might not stay his own, for it would soon have to be handed over to Young Master Bing.

If Li Cihua were still backing Jin Gubang to the hilt, Jin Gubang would not mind locking horns with Gu Pengzhan to the end. With Li Cihua behind him, he feared nothing from Gu Pengzhan. But now, far from backing him, Li Cihua was ready to have him killed. How could Jin Gubang have any strength left for an internal fight with Gu Pengzhan? Better to take the money and slip away quietly!

That very afternoon, Jin Gubang completed his resignation formalities and transferred all his shares to Gu Pengzhan as agreed. With his eighty-million retirement payout in hand, he walked out of the Gu Group under the surprised and mocking gazes of the other shareholders.

Vice Chairman Jin became history in the Group. From this day on, there would be no such man on the board.

Those onlookers, the directors and shareholders who had once thought of siding with Jin Gubang, felt a secret chill. Lucky they had never entangled themselves with him, or they would have gone down with him today!

Back then Jin Gubang had looked so formidable, riding so high, joining hands with Xie Guangbo, the third largest shareholder, to launch the "Down with Chu" campaign. And what came of it? Xie Guangbo's shares had passed for no reason into the hands of Gu Pengzhan's son-in-law, and Jin Gubang's own shares had been taken back by Gu Pengzhan!

The Gu Group of today had plainly become Gu Pengzhan's one-man stage. The vast majority of the company's shares were now firmly in his grasp!

In the days Wei Zhao was away from home, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu lived free and easy...

"Oh, at last I can walk around the house stark naked!" Shen Yushu wore nothing at all as she curled up on the sofa watching television...

As soon as she got home, Shen Yushu often stripped off all her clothes. In her own words, wearing clothes hindered the development of her figure...

"Ahem, Xiaoshu, you should mind appearances. Even if Wei Zhao is not home, what if Uncle Qing comes?" Gu Mengyao looked at Shen Yushu with some helplessness.

"Uncle Qing always knocks every time he comes. He would never just walk in." Shen Yushu did not care at all. Still on the sofa, she showed off her body to Gu Mengyao. "Sister Yaoyao, how do you think my figure looks lately?"

"Stop flaunting those big breasts at me. Flaunt them again and I will cut them off!" Gu Mengyao glared at Shen Yushu. So what if you have a good figure, does that mean you can show it off whenever you like? Why do you never mention that you are not as tall as I am?

All your nutrition went to your chest, while mine went to growing my bones...

"Oh, I was not flaunting..." Shen Yushu sank back onto the sofa, depressed. Why would no one praise her fine figure? Really, she could not just show it to anyone, and the only one who could see it, Gu Mengyao, would not even say a word of admiration. It left Shen Yushu quite helpless.

"Go flaunt it to your Brother Shield. I am not interested in you... Get off, I want to watch television!" Gu Mengyao gave Shen Yushu a contemptuous look. Flaunt all you like, in the end will it not be some man who gets to touch them for free...

"Oh, I would love to, only I am afraid you would not agree, Sister Yaoyao..." Shen Yushu looked at Gu Mengyao with mischief.

"What would I have to disagree with?" Gu Mengyao did not want to bother with Shen Yushu.

"You are the first wife. The first wife goes first. If anyone is going to flaunt, you go first, and I can only line up behind you!" Shen Yushu said with a giggle.

"..." Gu Mengyao glared at Shen Yushu. "Can you quiet down a little? I have figured it out. You behave best when Wei Zhao is home. At last I see the benefit of having Wei Zhao home!"

"Ah... Sister Yaoyao, you miss Brother Shield too?" Shen Yushu blinked her eyes and asked, waving her arms and legs on the sofa as if she had discovered a new continent.

"What am I thinking?" Gu Mengyao said, half annoyed and half amused. "I just want him to come back soon so you will quiet down! I cannot stand it anymore. How did I put up with you all these ten-odd years!"

Gu Mengyao realized she had reached the limit of endurance. Especially during the time Wei Zhao had lived in her house, she had grown used to a much restrained Shen Yushu. The moment Wei Zhao left, Shen Yushu had reverted to her old self. Gu Mengyao prayed, let Wei Zhao come back soon!

"Click..." With that sound, the villa door was opened from the outside...

"Huh?" Gu Mengyao widened her eyes and stared toward the doorway in shock! No way? Had her prayer been answered so quickly? Wei Zhao was actually back! Had her dream come true?

Shen Yushu froze too. One moment she had been dancing with joy and teasing Gu Mengyao with a beaming face, and the next Wei Zhao had burst through the door! Most crucially, the sofa where Shen Yushu sat faced straight at the villa entrance, so her body was seen by Wei Zhao in every detail...

"Uh... did I come back at the wrong time?" Wei Zhao swallowed hard. He found that tearing his eyes away from Shen Yushu's body was a most difficult decision, so difficult it could not be done...

In fact, Wei Zhao had coveted Shen Yushu for a long time, only out of regard for her status as Gu Mengyao's best friend he had never dared to show it too openly. But today... this was simply a once-in-a-thousand-years chance, and it would be a waste not to look... Moreover, he reassured himself that this was an accident, and that it was Shen Yushu who was letting him look, so it had nothing to do with him...

"Cover your eyes, you cannot look!" Gu Mengyao finally came to her senses and let out a loud scream, trying to stop Wei Zhao's lecherous behavior.

"Oh..." Shen Yushu quickly stretched out both hands, and just when everyone thought she would cover her chest, she covered her own eyes with her hands instead...

"..." Gu Mengyao looked at her best friend and nearly fell flat on the floor! She had told Wei Zhao to cover his eyes, what was Shen Yushu covering herself for?
