Chapter 179 Resilient Little White Flower VS. Group Leader 11
After the perpetrator was caught, he was initially reluctant to implicate Zhong Wanxi, as he still needed her to bail him out. However, after several days when no one came, the perpetrator finally confessed and implicated Zhong Wanxi.
Zhong Wanxi has been taken into custody by the police. After all, hiring someone to commit assault, although unsuccessful, is no small matter, especially since the incident has already gone viral online, and Zhong Wanxi is a somewhat well-known rich second-generation.
"Uncle, can you please save Wanxi!"
Gu Zhijin actually came to Gu Moci to plead for her help.
Gu Zhijin came to Gu Moci for help because he had asked his parents, but instead of helping him, they scolded him, saying he had misjudged people! They also told him to get rid of any further involvement with Zhong Wanxi! So he had no choice but to ask his uncle for help.
"Uncle, please help me!"
Gu Moci ignored Gu Zhijin completely, staring at the documents in his hand, until he finished reading them, at which point he finally looked up at Gu Zhijin.
Gu Zhijin sat on the sofa without any hint of begging. Gu Moci had previously been very fond of Gu Zhijin, so he didn't care about her nonchalant attitude.
But now Gu Moci is not Gu Moci anymore; he no longer has that kind of affection for Gu Zhijin.
Is this how you ask for help?
Gu Moci leaned back in his chair, watching Gu Zhijin reluctantly stand up and walk in front of him.
"Uncle, can you hear me? Can you save Wanxi?"
"What do you think of your current attitude...?"
Gu Zhijin clenched her fist, then bent down and repeated what she had just said.
"Wanxi? Is that the one who accompanied you to the art exhibition last time?"
"Yes, yes, Wanxi must have been framed. How could someone as kind as her hire someone to kill?"
When Gu Zhijin heard that Gu Moci didn't refute him, he assumed the matter was settled and immediately began praising Zhong Wanxi.
Gu Moci interrupted him upon hearing his words.
Why don't you go find your parents?
"They're unwilling, but aren't the Zhong family and our family on good terms? Why are they unwilling?"
Gu Zhijin didn't understand her elders' thoughts, but Gu Moci knew that anyone who dared to step forward would definitely be exposed, since those who escaped by spending money were the easiest to incur public wrath.
Now the Zhong family has to figure out a solution themselves. If the Gu family dares to help, it will likely be boycotted by netizens. Besides, the Gu family already runs an online store, so what will happen to the store?
Do you know why she was arrested?
"Someone must be slandering her!"
Gu Moci wondered how Gu Zhijin could be so clueless. Had all the Gu family's teachings to him been ignored? How could someone be detained without evidence?
"Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know?"
"Uncle, just tell me if you'll help me or not. If you help me this time, I'll help your company in the future!"
Gu Moci was almost laughing in anger. He had indeed let Gu Zhijin join the company as a training opportunity, but Gu Zhijin had actually seen it as helping out.
"No one can help with this, so..."
"You call yourself the head of the group! What good are you! Don't come begging to me again!"
Gu Zhijin stood up and left the office. Gu Moci felt indignant on behalf of the original owner of this body. Gu Zhijin was a complete ingrate!
The Zhong family knew that this situation couldn't be resolved with money, so they hired a top-tier lawyer hoping to offer some assistance to Zhong Wanxi.
In the end, both Zhong Wanxi and the perpetrator were sentenced. Although it was a case of hired assault, Zhong Wanxi was only sentenced to a few years thanks to the skills of a top-notch lawyer.
"I feel like I haven't done anything, and it's almost over..."
Lin Chuyun rested her chin on her hand, bored, watching Gu Moci working hard. This little world was pretty good; she didn't have to work hard and could just lie around doing nothing.
Gu Moci looked up, smiled at the bored Lin Chuyun, and then glanced at his phone.
Your milk tea has arrived.
"I'll go get it myself."
Lin Chuyun stood up. She had no classes and her part-time job was finished today, so she came to hang out with Gu Moci. When Lin Chuyun picked up her milk tea and was about to return to her office, she noticed that Gu Moci's assistant was blocking someone—an acquaintance, Gu Zhijin.
"What are you doing?! I'm here to see my uncle! And you're stopping me!"
"Young Master Gu, I didn't stop you, I just told you not to take this elevator. It was a special instruction from the president!"
As the two continued their conversation, everyone else turned to look. Feeling humiliated, Gu Zhijin uttered a harsh remark and slunk away.
Perhaps because her head was bowed too low, Gu Zhijin didn't see Lin Chuyun at all. Lin Chuyun walked forward and looked at Gu Moci's assistant.
Miss Lin
"What just happened?"
Lin Chuyun gestured to Gu Zhijin, who had just walked out, and her assistant explained.
“Young Master Gu used to always take the private elevator when he came, but not long ago, President Gu instructed that Young Master Gu could not take this elevator and had to make an appointment in advance!”
Lin Chuyun nodded. No wonder Gu Zhijin was speaking so loudly; it turned out she was dissatisfied because she no longer enjoyed what she had before.
Gu Zhijin just came looking for you.
Gu Moci raised his head and pressed his temples. Lin Chuyun handed Gu Moci a cup of milk tea.
“I know. I froze the card before, and Gu Zhijin didn’t care. But after Zhong Wanxi’s accident, the Gu family won’t help Gu Zhijin, so Gu Zhijin actually wanted to help Zhong Wanxi himself. That’s when Gu Zhijin realized that the card I gave him was unusable.”
"So he came looking for you?"
Gu Moci nodded while sipping his milk tea. Lin Chuyun knew that Gu Moci was aware of the situation, so she didn't say anything more.
Several years passed quickly. Gu Moci's company had grown even larger, and Lin Chuyun had become a dress designer, though only part-time. Her main job was learning painting from Master Li, and Chi Yiai had also become a painter of some renown.
Although Elder Ji's health wasn't very good before, he still loved desserts, so Lin Chuyun took this opportunity to channel her spiritual energy into his body, resulting in a significant improvement in his health.
A year after Zhong Wanxi went to prison, Gu Zhijin began to work hard, because he realized that Gu Moci would no longer help him, and he had even begun to resent Gu Moci and the Gu family, because the Gu family hadn't helped him before.
So he wanted to start a company like Gu Moci, but it went bankrupt for some reason, whether due to poor judgment or something else. He was only able to recover thanks to the Gu family. It was only after this experience that Gu Zhijin was willing to return to the Gu family. The reason the Gu family was willing to help was because Gu Zhijin had refused to return after that initial plea for help.
