Young Master Feng, Your Lady Has Stunned the World! -Novel - Chapter 181

Chapter 181: Mr. and Mrs. Gu Quarreled

Mrs. Gu only saw Gu Chu as a substitute for Gu Wan.

Now that she was back, who would take a second look at the substitute?

Mrs. Gu clenched her fingers and made up her mind, she broke the white peony in her hand. “She looks more and more like that person, especially those eyes. When she was young, she looked fine. But when she grew up, the more I looked at her, the more I hated her. I don’t even want to see her now!”

“No matter what you think, Gu Chu is still the daughter of the Gu family,” Mr. Gu sighed, “She has done a very good job. I heard from Lin Yu that she handled the Sky Garden project very well, both in terms of opposition to the construction and handling of public opinion.”

“So, when she comes back this time, I want to appoint her as the vice president of the company, and the board of directors has already agreed to this matter.”

Mrs. Gu suddenly stood up. “What did you say?”

Mr. Gu looked at her and repeated himself, “I said, I want Gu Chu to be the vice president.”

Mrs. Gu immediately asked, “What about Gu Wan?”

“Although Gu Wan graduated from the University of Finance and Economics, she has not worked in any related field after graduation. After so many years, she has no relevant experience at all. According to the normal recruitment process, the company’s HR might not even recruit her, let alone become the vice president.”

Mr. Gu had already made up his mind. “I’ll let her work in the branch office first. When she has achieved results, she will return to the headquarters.”

…

Mrs. Gu’s voice suddenly became louder. “You actually want Gu Wan to leave my side?!”

This was something that she absolutely could not tolerate!

“You keep saying that you want to treat the two daughters equally, but you let Gu Chu be the vice president, and let Gu Wan leave the company. Is this what you call fair?”

“Then what do you want? Make Gu Wan the vice president of the company? Do you think Gu Wan will be able to convince the people under her? If one’s name doesn’t match one’s position, disaster will befall them. Don’t tell me you want to force her to take the position? The Gu Corporation doesn’t have such rules!”

Mr. Gu had been thinking about how to deal with his relationship with Gu Chu for the past few days. Finally, Pei Xin’s “Gu Yi” reminded him.

They always said that Gu Chu owed Gu Wan and the Gu family, but what exactly did she owe them?

It was clearly the Gu corporation that owed her and his old friend.

Mrs. Gu looked at him without blinking. She felt it was ridiculous. “Do you feel sorry for Gu Chu now? Do you want to make it up to her?”

Her eyes were filled with ridicule. “If you really want to make it up to her, why do you only give her the position of vice president? Don’t you want to give her shares? Or are you reluctant to give it up?”

“You’re really a hypocrite. On the surface, you act like a kind father and pretend to love Gu Chu, but you’re only doing this to make yourself feel at ease!”

“You!”

Mr. Gu’s face was livid. No one knew if he was angry or if his intentions had been seen through.

Mrs. Gu continued to sneer. “Let me tell you clearly, Gu Chu has already stolen Gu Wan’s fiancé. In other aspects, I can’t let her be stronger than Gu Wan! Since Gu Wan can’t step up for the time being, then Gu Chu must step down!”

Mr. Gu’s chest rose and fell violently, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Since she’s doing well as a director, then she should just keep doing it. There’s no need for her to be promoted to vice president. Why should she have what Gu Wan doesn’t have?”

Mr. Gu shook his head in disappointment, “You’re simply unreasonable.”

He turned around and continued upstairs.

Mrs. Gu turned around and sat down with a cold expression.

The living room returned to silence in an instant. The servants pretended to be deaf as they did their work.

Actually, the Gu family was not like this before. When exactly did it start to change?

Oh, it was after the eldest miss returned…

The silence was finally broken by Gu Wan. She leaned on her walking stick and came to Mrs. Gu’s side. She said gently, “Mom, don’t quarrel with dad because of me. He must have his reasons for making such a decision.”

She lowered her eyes. “Besides, I’m indeed not as capable as Gu Chu.”

Mrs. Gu stroked her hair. “If you were the one the Gu family nurtured in the beginning, you wouldn’t be any worse than her.”

Gu Wan’s eyes darkened. “Yes, I wasn’t kidnapped by human traffickers back then. How wonderful would that be?”

She sniffed. “I really envy Gu Chu. Not only does she have the ability, but she also has a good fiancé. She has so many good friends and the love of her cousins. It seems that everyone around her likes her.”

Mrs. Gu could tell at once. “Did your cousin Lu Shen not want to talk to you when you went to your grandpa’s house yesterday?”

Gu Wan lowered her head. At this moment, silence was better than words.

Mrs. Gu’s heart ached. “I love you. I won’t let you lose to Gu Chu!”
