Chapter 495: Chapter 496: A Secret Conversation 1

"Father." They had just finished playing chess when a well-maintained, elegantly dressed lady in a cheongsam,

with her hair up, walked into the pavilion and called out to Gu Hai.

Seeing her, Guan Jin got up and respectfully saluted, "Good day, Madam."

"Hmm." Gao Meiru nodded slightly and waved her hand at him, "You may leave, | have matters to discuss with

the old man. Don’t let anyone else cclose."

"Yes." Guan Jin was the butler of the Gu family, aware of many affairs of the Gu family and also the most loyal

servant of the family.

Sitting down in the spot Guan Jin had just vacated, Gao Meiru spoke softly to Gu Hai, "Father, he plans to come

back to take over the company."

Gu Hai’s sharp eyes flashed with intensity as he picked up the chess pieces one by one and said indifferently,

"His body has not yet recovered, let him cback after stime."

"I told him the same, but he insists on returning. You know, once he sets his mind on something, none of us can

stop him. Actually, | know that he’s worried I've been planting my own people within the company. He's not at

ease, that’s why he’s eager to return." Gao Meiru sounded slightly upset and her tone carried a hint of

grievance.

Ever since Gu Yixuan had his troubles, she had been the one taking over the company, and now having to step

aside was something she naturally did not feel happy about.

Gu Hai certainly heard the implications in her words. He leaned back in the rattan chair, his voice kind, "Meiru,

you are a daughter-in-law of the Gu family; of course, you can have your people and shares in the company. You

don’t have to worry about this— withsupporting you, he won't monopolize the company or dare to do

anything to you."

It was true that the Gu Family had achieved its glorious success thanks to Gu Yixuan.

But the Gu Family was established during the period of the Republic of China, and most of its employees were of

the familial kind, like the roots of a great tree, intricate and deeply embedded in every part of the Gu Family,

impossible to eradicate in a short period of time.

Moreover, they were very loyal to the Gu family. With just one command from Gu Hai, many old retainers were

ready to follow his orders.

It was for this reason that Gu Yixuan harbored swariness towards Gu Hai.

Gao Meiru, however, didn’t see it that way. Gu Hai was old, and after his death, those old subordinates would still

have to follow Gu Yixuan’s commands.

No matter what, Gu Yixuan was also a Gu, carrying the Gu family blood in his veins.

Even though she was a daughter-in-law of the Gu family, having birthed them a boy, what of it? In the eyes of

the people of the Gu family, she was still an outsider.
