Ye Chaxu really wanted to return to his room, but if he left after eating, it would arouse everyone's displeasure, so he just let it go and directly ignored everyone's gaze, in order to be more thick-skinned.
Anyways, she was now the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, so it was perfectly justified for her to stay.
"Ye Chaxu, come with me. I also have something I want to tell you." Zhou Lin looked at Ye Chaxu with a serious expression. For some things, as long as Ye Chaxu agreed, Gu Shen would agree to it.
Ye Chaxu nodded slightly, seeing that Zhou Lin had left, she followed him.
Gu Yuan stared at Ye Chaxu's back with complicated emotions.
Inside Zhou Lin's bedroom.
Zhou Lin brought Ye Chaxu to the balcony but did not speak. He stared at the stars in the sky with a thoughtful expression.
"Mom, if you have something to say, just say it!" Ye Chaxu asked directly, but he did not say anything to her, causing her to feel anxious.
Zhou Lin took a deep breath and instructed: "Ye Chaxu, I want you to bear the guilt of killing Grandmother Gu." This matter was too embarrassing to say, but she had no choice. For Gu Yuan, she needed him to do this.
Hearing that, Ye Chaxu's face revealed surprise, and he stared at Zhou Lin in astonishment, as though he could not believe it.
"I believe you already know who the culprit is, but he cannot come out. He can only hide behind his back, and the culprit needs you to do it." "Although it's not fair to you, at the moment, only you can save him, because he is your father and you are pregnant. Even if the judge wanted to sentence you, he will punish you lightly according to your circumstances."
She didn't want Gu Yuan to go to jail, but Gu Shen asking him to turn himself in, she absolutely could not.
Once something happened to Gu Yuan, she would have no backbone. In the Gu family, her position was really low, and Gu Yuan was the man she loved, so she couldn't just watch as something happened to him.
Hence, she had the thought of asking Ye Chaxu to bear all the sins that he committed in place of the murder.
"At that time, I will think of a way to reduce your crime. It means that you accidentally killed someone and you didn't do it on purpose. At most, you will be sentenced for dozens of years. When you come out, everything will be fine. But I promise you, you will always be Gu Shen's daughter-in-law, and your son, I will properly nurture you until you grow up. " Zhou Lin said in all seriousness, and her tone became even more serious: "As long as you are willing to help your father, I am willing to accept you."
In order for Ye Chaxu to bear the consequences of the crime, she was willing to let go of her prejudice to accept Ye Chaxu, on the condition that Ye Chaxu had to pay a price.
Ye Chaxu's face turned pale white, and like a frightened bird, he retreated a few steps, momentarily at a loss for words.
What a joke, to put her on the spot, this …
The one who killed Gu Yuan, was actually Gu Yuan, yet he wanted her to save Gu Yuan. But, sacrificing herself was just too laughable.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that." She fiercely refused and lowered her voice, saying, "Dad made a mistake, so he needs to be punished. Forgive me for not being able to protect him, I can't lie to everyone."
After Zhou Lin heard this, he lost all confidence and shouted threatening words, "Could it be that you don't want us to be together with Gu Shen and you want us to continue making things difficult for you? You know, if you force us too much, we really won't let you go. "
"I'm going to prison. Why am I with Gu Shen?" Ye Chaxu asked, smiling bitterly in a low voice.
Zhou Lin was stumped by his question and stared blankly for a while before replying, "Once you come out, we can continue to be together."
Ye Chaxu's lips suddenly leaked out a cold laugh, and after a moment, he said lightly, "Mom, I'm not an idiot. Once I go to prison, the Gu family will have any way to remove the marriage between Gu Shen and me. At that time, Gu Shen can marry whomever he wants, and who will interfere with my life in the prison? Even if my child is raised by the Gu family, I am sure that by the time I come out, my son will have already adopted someone else as his mother. "
Although she would lose children, she said those words deliberately for Zhou Lin to hear, and refused clearly.
"Don't talk nonsense, as long as I promise, I will do it. Your words are all guesses." Zhou Lin angrily growled, he gritted his teeth, but hearing Ye Chaxu's words, he was unhappy in his heart.
"Promise, hur hur!" Can it be eaten as a meal? " Ye Chaxu taunted, putting away the corner of his mouth, he shrugged helplessly.
Zhou Lin's expression was ugly, as he said angrily: "Ye Chaxu, those are all matters of concern to you." In order to get Ye Chaxu to agree, he said: "As long as you agree, I can sign a contract with you."
"No need, no matter what you say, I won't agree." Ye Chaxu stuck out his chest and firmly answered.
Zhou Lin was at a loss, and passionately said: "Could it be that you can't bear to watch Gu Shen personally send Gu Yuan to the police station, to take the scoldings of the people here?"
"The people of the world will not scold him. They will only say that he is impartial and selfless." Ye Chaxu calmly replied. Thinking of a certain point, he then added, "Moreover, he would not agree to do that, because he loves me."
Seeing Ye Chaxu being stubborn, Zhou Lin was speechless for a moment.
"Mom, I'm really sorry. I can't agree." Ye Chaxu apologized and left.
"Su Xu, I beg of you." Seeing that Ye Chaxu was about to leave, Zhou Lin anxiously shouted loudly, and begged for forgiveness with a guilty conscience, "This is your father, if you are going to watch him go to prison, then in this lifetime, he will not forgive you, and I will not accept you, you will not even be able to stand steadily in the Gu family, and you and Gu Shen will even have to carry the joke of personally sending your father to prison. If your father falls, Gu Shen will be in trouble from the front and back, and the position of the successor will be even further away from him."
After Ye Chaxu finished listening, he lowered his head and fell into a struggle.
"I'm begging you, can't I?" Zhou Lin said in sorrow, if Ye Chaxu did not agree, then Gu Yuan's situation would be dangerous, she could only lower her head and humbly beg: "If you agree, Gu Shen will not say much."
Ye Chaxu did not reply. Instead, he quickened his pace and left, obviously trying to escape.
Seeing that, Zhou Lin's eyes were filled with uncontrollable rage, as he let out a helpless sigh.
In great grandpa's study room.
great grandpa directly handed over the photo of Mo Xie meeting with Finance, and asked with a serious tone: "Someone said that Finance is colluding with you, and that the money will be taken away under your orders, and will operate everything behind your back."
After Gu Shen heard this, he broke into a smile, and said with extreme helplessness, "If that's the case, how can this great grandpa believe it?" He took the photo and started scrutinizing it. He smiled and said, "Not bad."
great grandpa's eyes narrowed as he locked onto Gu Shen's expression. "I want to hear your explanation."
"I did not collude with the treasury, but I know that it took away the headquarters' money, so I had people help me find the treasury, and Mo Xie was the helper." Gu Shen replied quickly, his eyes full of confidence.
As expected, Gu Zhongshan was restless. He actually used this matter to make a big story out of it.
Fortunately, he had come up with a solution to this matter, and Gu Zhongshan's plan would come to naught.
