Sweet Love 1V1: Spoiled by The Executive - Chapter 1616

Chapter 1616: The Old Man Was Seriously Ill

Gu Zhilin had indeed angered the old man to the point that he was hospitalized again as his old illness had relapsed.

In accordance with the doctor, the old man might not be able to leave the hospital due to the ferociousness of the illness. This also indicated that the old man’s life was coming to an end.

Gu Zhiqian brought Guan Meiyi and Zhao Huimin to the hospital shortly after receiving the news. Many people had gathered outside the ward by the time they arrived.

Those gathering outside the ward were mainly the Gu family members, the shareholders, and the executives of the company. They all held a close relationship with the Gu family.

All eyes turned on him when Gu Zhiqian appeared. Their gaze and expressions varied among them.

Despite this, Gu Zhiqian turned a blind eye to these people’s attention and walked straight through the corridor toward the old man’s ward.

Meanwhile, Gu Zhiming and Gu Zhihuan walked out of the ward unhappily as they were kicked out of the ward by the old man.

The critical moment had arrived. Time was running out as the old man might leave the world at any moment; thus, the distribution of his assets became everyone’s primary concern.

Gu Zhilin remained in the ward while Gu Zhihuan and Gu Zhiming were chased out of the room. This behavior resulted in the two having a second thought. It caused them to wonder if the old man would rather Gu Zhilin inherit all his assets instead of distributing them equally among the others. Otherwise, there might also be chances that Gu Zhilin attempted a ploy by keeping all the possessions to himself. Since it was only the two in the ward, if any misfortunate happens to the old man, they would be clueless about what had happened.

Both Gu Zhiming and Gu Zhihuan had never thought of fighting with Gu Zhilin for the position of being the head of the Gu family, but being one of the Gu family members, they should inherit what they deserved.

It resulted in the three siblings, who were usually bound together, instantly distrusting one another during this period. There is no doubt that only when there is a significant event can one truly test the hearts of those around them.

Gu Zhiming and Gu Zhihuan walked out with dark faces, and they saw Gu Zhiqian, who was walking over with Guan Meiyi and Zhao Huimin. The two had a changed in their countenance.

“Gu Zhiqian, what do you mean by this? You’d already left the Gu family, haven’t you? Then what’s your purpose of appearing here now?” Gu Zhiming questioned Gu Zhiqian. He was here for the family property as well.

Gu Zhihuan became hostile as soon as she saw him, “Gu Zhiqian, I don’t see you usually being filial to grandfather. You only rushed over when you know that grandfather couldn’t take it any longer. Everyone on the street knows what’s Sima Zhao’s intention!” Gu Zhihuan exhibited a greater level of emotion than Gu Zhiming. Due to Grandfather Gu’s preference for sons, even though she was a descendant of the Gu family and grew up in luxury, she was not treated with equality compared to her other two brothers. This inequality made Gu Zhihuan, who already felt that she was in a disadvantaged position, even more agitated. Gu Zhiqian’s arrival had made her wonder if he planned to steal the family property from her.

At the same time, the other Gu family members and shareholders had begun to whisper among themselves when they saw Gu Zhiqian being targeted. Despite not having heirloom rights, they were linked to the benefits of the Gu family. Therefore, they were also concerned about how Old Master Gu would entrust his legacy.

Gu Zhiqian was very calm when confronted by the hysterical Gu Zhiming and Gu Zhihuan. He looked at them without any emotion, “I’m just here to see the old man.”

In other words, Gu Zhiqian had no interest in those whatsoever properties.

Gu Zhihuan sneered, “Well said! You’re just the weasel who pays his respects to the hen! Who would believe that you come without any bad intentions!”
