Chapter 430: Chapter 431: She Needs to Be Vulnerable for a While
Xia Yangyang said, “The Gu family is the Gu family, not the cash cow of our Xia family. They have no obligation to save Starlight from bankruptcy, and moreover, I won’t go there.”
Given the current relationship between Xia Yangyang and the Gu family, how could she possibly ask the Gu family for this favor?
Gu Mingzhu is the murderer who killed her mother.
If she goes to ask Shengyuan to save Starlight, wouldn’t that be the joke of the century?
Xia Weiwei sneered from the side, “Xia Yangyang, at this point, are you still concerned about face? If you can’t even help with this, are you still considered a daughter of the Gu family, a daughter of our father?”
Having said that, Xia Weiwei collapsed in front of the transparent glass outside the ICU, calling out and crying, “Dad, open your eyes and see how heartless the daughter you love so dearly is. It’s a shame you gave her twenty percent of Starlight’s shares.”
Indeed, the Gu family holds a total of forty-five percent of Starlight’s shares.
But twenty percent of them are under Xia Yangyang’s name.
Because Starlight was founded single-handedly by her mother and father.
Her mother once held twenty percent of Starlight’s shares.
After her mother passed away, her father transferred these shares to Xia Yangyang before getting married.
Because of this, Liu Ruyan had almost argued with Xia Liangdong for ten years.
Xia Yangyang spoke up, “I will find other ways, but I will not go to the Gu family. Not only will I not go, you’re not allowed to go either.”
Xia Weiwei finally turned around, with a glimmer of curiosity in her eyes, and even a hint of expectation, “Xia Yangyang, don’t tell me you’ve already divorced Gu Qichen.”
“Who said we’re already divorced?” A cold male voice came from behind.
Everyone turned their heads to look down the corridor.
They saw Gu Qichen slowly approaching.
He was in a suit and leather shoes, looking travel-worn, as if he had just come down from a business meeting.
Xia Yangyang found it strange.
Didn’t Gu Qichen say he was going on a business trip to Japan?
Gu Qichen had already reached them.
Aunt Liu was quite polite, “Ah Chen, you’re here.”
“I’m sorry, Aunt Liu, as soon as I heard the news I rushed back from Tokyo. I’m a little late,” replied Gu Qi Chen.
Upon hearing what he said, Liu Ruyan started wiping her tears again, “It’s such a disaster, why am I so unlucky? If your father really abandons us and leaves, the Xia family is finished.”
Gu Qi Chen responded, “Dad will be fine.”
Then he turned his gaze to Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang kept her head down.
She did not look at Gu Qichen.
She was discussing divorce with Gu Qichen.
But Xia Yangyang didn’t want Liu Ruyan and Xia Weiwei to know about what’s happening between them, yet.
Because she knew this was the drama they had been hoping for.
Gu Qichen reached out to caress Xia Yangyang’s hair, then held her in his arms, patting her back as if soothing a child, “Dad will be fine, don’t worry, I’m still here.”
Xia Yangyang felt extremely distressed.
Since learning about her father’s accident, Xia Yangyang had turned herself into a machine.
Because there were many things to do, many responsibilities to bear.
Therefore, she had to stay calm, controlled, and disconnected.
She did not have time to think too much, let alone indulge in sorrowful emotions.
Because she had no one to lean on.
But the moment Gu Qichen pulled her into his arms, Xia Yangyang felt as if the tight string she had been straining suddenly broke.
Tears streamed down her eyes.
Xia Yangyang did not say anything, just let Gu Qichen hold her for a while.
She needed to be vulnerable for a moment.
