Doris turned around and left on a bitter note.

She did not even look at her daughter in the eye. Gu Lingsha felt heartbroken as she turned around and looked at Gu Qiwu who seemed cold and emotionless.

After giving it some thought, Gu Lingsha decided to chase after Doris.

She was worried about Doris at the moment. After having always been in a superior position all this time, how could she take it after being lied to by Gu Qiwu?

As a woman, Gu Lingsha could understand what her mother was going through.

Doris was getting into her car when she caught up to her. Gu Lingsha quickly got inside as well.

"Mother! Are you alright?" Gu Lingsha asked.

Doris took a deep breath when she noticed Gu Lingsha. She looked out of the window and started speaking in a calmer tone, "Shasha, do you know what your father is like now? Why do you think I never liked talking to him? Do you still think that he truly loves me?"

Gu Lingsha was speechless as she did not know how to answer her.

"Mother, Father is…"

Doris put on a cold smile. "I know your father the best. He's suspicious of everyone and is very good at mind games. I know he's been wary of me since a long time ago. I knew that we'd end up getting a divorce. Do you really think he's been working hard for the both of us? Shasha, even you are just a chess piece on his chessboard! If his relationship with Mu Lingtian had been revealed back then, do you think you'd still be valuable to him?"

"Lingtian? Father and Lingtian...did Lingtian know?"

Gu Lingsha was afraid. Mu Lingtian had been madly in love with her, but who would have expected them to be siblings!? She feared to face this issue, but she had to accept this right now!

If Mu Lingtian was still alive, how would he have felt?

"If Mu Lingtian knew, he would never have behaved that way! Shasha, don't be naive. Qi Feng told me that Mu Lingtian agreed to help the two of you because Qi Feng promised him to help him to take over Glory World in the future. Gu Qiwu had the same idea as well. He wanted to use the Mu family power to step on me.

"I know your father too well. That's why I can only make early plans. Even if he leaves the rest to Mu Lingshi, I can still fight for what you deserve. With the stock I have, the Hui Gu Corporation is still in our hands. However, the situation has changed now!"

Gu Lingsha did not forget about the miscarried child Doris mentioned. It had been a boy!

Gu Lingsha smiled sorrowfully. "Mother, please don't just talk about Father like that. You used me too, didn't you? If that child were still safe, whatever you fought for wouldn't have been for me, would it?"

She was not a fool. She knew what was happening but just decided to be ignorant.

How pathetic!

Gu Lingsha started pitying herself.

Doris's expression froze suddenly. She turned towards her but then swiftly looked away. "You're my only daughter now, isn't that enough?" She slowly closed her eyes as she took a deep breath.

"I have my regrets. I regret that Mu Yuchen and you didn't get together. We wouldn't have to suffer like this if that happened. You have no idea what I tried to do after what happened between you and Qi Feng." Doris sounded helpless.

"Whatever, maybe I took all of these upon myself. If you want to live an easier life, then you should keep yourself away from our affairs and focus on running Qi Kai with Qi Feng."

"Mother, what are you planning?" Gu Lingsha was worried.

Doris smiled as her eyes turned cold. "Gu Qiwu really overdid it. I'm not just going to let this go."

"Mother, you know how he is. Didn't I tell you to calm down?"

"I don't need you to meddle in my business. Get out of the car. Get out right now!" Doris's tone was firm.

Gu Lingsha's words could not move her anymore, so she got out of the car, and the car soon sped off…

The news of Gu Qiwu and Doris was known throughout City Z. All entertainment-related media were reporting about them, but they were nowhere to be seen. It caused quite a scene in City B as well.

The storm raged over for several days, and there was no sign of it stopping anytime soon.

In the Vice President's room in Qi Kai Corporation.

"Master Qi, Manager Xi is outside and she says she has something to tell you!" Yang Sheng came inside the room as Qi Lei was reading through documents.

Manager Xi?

Xi Xinyi?

Qi Lei was surprised as he almost forgot about her existence!

She was the "spy" Qi Feng had sent to him!

He was really impressed by Mu Yuchen's future-oriented vision. Who would have expected Xi Xinyi to be Mu Yuchen's spy instead?

He was really bold. How could he be sure that Xi Xinyi would not betray him?

Qi Lei smirked as he put the documents down. "Tell her to come in."

"Yes, Master Qi!" Yang Sheng nodded and went back out.

Moments later, Xi Xinyi knocked on the door and entered.
