You will have no place in this city

Gu Qingyao used an entire morning's worth of time to go through all the information she had gathered over the past few years, and her eyebrows slightly knitted together.

She had always felt that something was wrong, and now she finally realized that her father's share of the stock was getting smaller and smaller by the year.

Logically speaking, a listed company should not need such massive financing. In other words …

Was someone secretly manipulating something?

What was Gu Yanzhi thinking? If something really happened, he would slowly lose control of the company's shares.

Gu Qingyao closed the information in her hands and laughed: "Assistant Mu, I won't be eating lunch with you today. I have an appointment outside."

"Oh, okay." Mu Tinglan did not think too much about it and laughed: "Then let's go another day, I'll bring you to taste some delicious food from the shops nearby."

"Thank you." Gu Qingyao laughed, and then she went back to work.

When Gu Qingyao arrived at the Lai Man Coffee Shop, Ling Xiaoman was already there waiting.

She dressed very decently, and under the warm wind in the coffee shop, Gu Qingyao could see Ling Xiaoman in the distance dressed in her qipao. Seeing Gu Qingyao looking at her, Ling Xiaoman smiled and said: "Miss Gu."

She was wearing glasses on her face, and Gu Qingyao laughed: "Seems like Ms. Ling does not want to be easily recognized by others."

Ling Xiaoman stiffened, and indicated: What does Miss Gu want to drink?

She did not continue to talk about this topic with Gu Qingyao. Gu Qingyao smiled indifferently and said, "Kabchino, add a little more syrup."

Ling Xiaoman nodded in agreement. After the waiter ordered the dishes, he looked at Gu Qingyao: "Miss Gu, I have been wanting to talk to you."

"I don't know what we have to talk about," Gu Qingyao looked at Ling Xiaoman, and said lightly: "In fact, before this, Miss Ling Yiyi had come here to talk to me about it, is it because of your orders, Ms. Ling?"

Ling Xiaoman's body froze, she was obviously surprised: "This …."

"Are you very surprised?" I also think it's meaningless, but Miss Ling did indeed do so. " Gu Qingyao leaned back, and said indifferently.

Ling Xiaoman remained silent for a while, before she lightly knocked the table with her fingernail: "Miss Gu, I have no intention of destroying your family. I know that the Gourmet has always placed a high priority on family, so I thought about it, as long as it can guarantee Yi Yi's and my life, I will definitely not interfere in your family's business.

Gu Qingyao lifted her head to look at Ling Xiaoman, but she couldn't hide the haze at the corner of her mouth.

What kind of joke was this?

To hear Ling Xiaoman say such words to her at this time, it was no different than showing off her might!

"Gourmet will not admit Yiyi's identity. I also feel that it's alright, after all … The Gourmet has his own difficulties as well, and Miss Gu has always grown up in this kind of harmonious family. I also cannot bear to see Miss Gu lose her most important father … " Ling Xiaoman's tone was very heavy.

Gu Qingyao suddenly laughed. Her laughter was filled with contempt as she looked at Ling Xiaoman and said faintly: "Ms. Ling, I don't understand what you mean. You're telling me that Ling Yiyi is my father's daughter."

"Miss Gu probably understands the result as well, right?" Ling Xiaoman looked at her, and said in a low voice: "Gourmet gave me the DNA identification certificate, and I obtained it from Miss Gu. Does Miss Gu really think that it's fake?"

"Did Ms. Ling say these words to my father before?" Gu Qingyao asked indifferently.

"Speak... "Of course I did." Ling Xiaoman said softly, "In all these years, I've never thought of interfering with Miss Gu's family, and never thought of destroying Gourmet's life, I just like Gourmet too much, and so I'm willing to have children with Gourmet. But Miss Gu, I ask myself, I have never owed the Gu family anything, and have never owed Miss Gu anything either.

Gu Qingyao was slightly startled.

Recently, she hadn't had the free hand to torture Ling Xiaoman at all, so she didn't know what was going on with Ling Xiaoman's face full of grief and indignation.

"I know, the media reported what happened that time, but in the beginning, it was just some small gossip newspaper, and very few people in the business world noticed it, and Gourmet helped me suppress the public's opinion, but now the public's opinion is getting stronger, and I am unable to find a suitable job, Miss Gu, what step do you want to take, for you to let this go?"

Gu Qingyao looked at Ling Xiaoman, and the corner of her mouth slightly curved upwards: "Ms. Ling, let's put it this way, I didn't obstruct you from obtaining any job opportunities, aren't you overestimating me? I don't have such a reputation in Seahold, to be able to do such a thing."

Ling Xiaoman was slightly startled.

Logically speaking, Gu Qingyao did not have that kind of ability.

But every time she went to apply, the other party would see her resume like a ghost, and what's more, with great difficulty, she passed the resume. Upon seeing the HR, the HR would speak a few words to the person next to her, and then immediately reject her position, and over time, Ling Xiaoman understood that she had been secretly blocked.

[I guess there is no place I can stay in the whole of Seahold anymore!]

She clearly had the experience of the Gu's, if she was placed in any other company, she would definitely be regarded as an existence, so how could she have fallen to such a state?!

Furthermore, in order to teach them a lesson, Gu Yanzhi had cut off his monthly living expenses. He did not have a salary of his own, and he did not receive much of the Gu's's severance pay.

How could she have thought that Gu Qingyao would have such an attitude?

Ling Xiaoman clenched her teeth, and said softly: "Miss Gu, I really have no other choice, that's why I came to find Miss Gu, but Miss Gu can think about it, the reason why I have no other choice, is to leave a path of retreat for the Gu family, and if I do not have any scruples, then the Gu family will be the ugliest one, not to mention the Gu family." Miss Gu, you better not forget, if Ling Yiyi's identity is accepted, then according to the law, Yi Yi also has the right to inherit. "

Gu Qingyao looked at Ling Xiaoman for a long time, then smiled: "Ms. Ling, are you threatening me?"

Ling Xiaoman suddenly felt cold all over. She looked at Gu Qingyao and subconsciously told herself not to be afraid.

He was a whole round older than the girl in front of him, what was there to be afraid of!

"I am only reminding Miss Gu that Miss Gu is still young, and many things might not think of the consequences …"

"Consequences..." Gu Qingyao said with a smile: "You are merely an existence that cannot be exposed, and Ling Yiyi is even more so. Ms. Ling, you don't need to tell me how kind and kind-hearted you are, if you really have the courage to ignore everything, then you can give it a try, if father does not agree, I guarantee that father will not agree, that you and Yi will become the laughingstock of the entire Sea City. At that time, I don't know if Ms. Ling will still have the courage to continue living in this city."
