He could not endure others begging him to do so, what's more, this person was none other than Ling Xiaoman.

Gu Yanzhi liked Ling Xiaoman, and what he liked more was that kind of feeling of being on the top. Ling Xiaoman being able to satisfy this feeling had never made him feel lost in the slightest.

Thinking about this, Gu Yanzhi subconsciously nodded: "Sure, isn't it just helping to find someone? It's not easy for that child to be left alone. "

"I don't agree." Gu Qingyao said in a deep voice.

Whether it was Ling Xiaoman or Gu Yanzhi, everyone was stunned.

"Miss Gu," Ling Xiaoman's voice carried a hint of sobbing: "Miss Gu, you don't understand the heart of a parent, I am a child's mother, Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu is also your father, so you too can understand how worried I am right now. If I wasn't forced into a corner, I would never have reached this step."

"You are the mother of the child?" Gu Qingyao looked at Ling Xiaoman with eyes full of ridicule: "I'm afraid Ms. Ling didn't forget, that Ling Yiyi was adopted from an orphanage, right?"

"But, but after so many years, I have long since treated Ling Yiyi as my own daughter …"

Gu Qingyao laughed lightly: Ms. Ling said that she has nowhere to go, then have the American police contacted her? Where's the school? Has the case been filed? Have you contacted the embassy? This is the most basic method, if Ms. Ling was unable to do so, then Ms. Ling, please forgive me for my bluntness, but where did you end up with no way out? "

Ling Xiaoman's face flushed red and she got up in a daze: "It's fine if Miss Gu isn't willing to help, but now I want to ask Mr. Gu for help. Even Miss Gu is obstructing me with everything.

Gu Qingyao remained silent for a long while, then smiled slightly: "Ms. Ling has misunderstood, I never thought of taking away Ms. Ling's last hope, but instead, I am giving Ms. Ling a path out of goodwill. If it was my father, these are things that he had to do, Ms. Ling, I hope you can understand that my father is only doing this for you …"

Pah! -

Ling Xiaoman directly picked up the cup of water from the table. No one saw how Ling Xiaoman moved in that instant.

However, when the matter came to an end —

Ling Xiaoman's face was covered in water, her makeup all messed up.

Xiao Ze's expression was very calm. Looking at Ling Xiaoman, he said in a low voice, "Ms. Ling, I hope you are awake."

Ling Xiaoman's entire body was trembling slightly!

She knew too well what had just happened …

She had clearly already picked up the cup of water, and was so angry that she wanted to throw the water directly at Gu Qingyao's face. But at that moment, no one knew where Xiao Ze came from, to the point where Ling Xiaoman didn't even know how the cup of water in her hands ended up in Xiao Ze's hands …

But none of this mattered.

Because in the next second, all the water in the cup splashed onto his face.

Ling Xiaoman was finally awake.

She was so wide awake that her screams caught in her throat.

She could only stand there quietly and look at Gu Qingyao and Gu Yanzhi who were safely sitting opposite of her.

Gu Yanzhi's lips moved, seeing everything that happened, he was unable to say anything, and could only remain silent for a long while, before sighing: "Stop messing around, Ms. Ling, what Xiao Yao said is not wrong, and you don't have to pester me any longer. With this time, perhaps the child has already been found."

There was obvious exhaustion in his eyes, like a sharp sword, piercing Ling Xiaoman's body full of wounds.

She had always believed that Gu Yanzhi at least loved her.

Even if it wasn't because of Ling Yiyi, or even if it wasn't because of Mu Han, she still loved his even though he had given birth to a son and a daughter.

But now, she could clearly see the impatience in Gu Yanzhi's eyes.

He didn't even have the ability to say a single word for himself in front of Gu Qingyao …

Third person.

Gu Qingyao kept hinting, wasn't it just like that?

But Gu Yanzhi?

Gu Yanzhi had never defended himself before …

In his heart, was he worthless?

Ling Xiaoman's face was filled with sorrow, and only after a long while did she finally speak in a low voice: "I understand, I understand."

She wiped her face and walked out slowly.

Gu Yanzhi covered his eyes for a while, and then sighed: "Alright, it's about time I go back, let's leave this matter like this, I won't help her."

"Dad was right to do that." Gu Qingyao smiled and kissed Gu Yanzhi on the cheek.

Gu Yanzhi was quiet for a moment, then said: "Tonight, go to your grandfather's place for dinner, remember to tell your mother, our family will still have to live our lives by ourselves."

Gu Qingyao slightly hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

"Also," Gu Yanzhi paused for a moment, then continued, "Bring the company's chapter over tonight, so your grandfather might still need to inject capital into the Gu's."

Gu Qingyao did not make a sound, but her entire body was cold.

She remembered.

He clearly remembered.

But that was because the financial crisis had almost hollowed out the Gu Family. Now that he had clearly turned the tables around, and even made the Gu's's finances richer than before, why did his grandfather still do this?

Grandfather is old, but Nian Wanru clearly already knows about it!

Gu Qingyao hesitated for a moment, but still chased after her. "Father, why did Grandfather suddenly provide us with capital?"

"It's a project. Do you remember the project that was previously filmed? This time, it's Nian Family who is cooperating with us, the Gu's. Father had previously considered many companies, but after thinking for a bit, it's better for Fatty Shui to not leave any outsiders for other people. " Gu Yanzhi's face was filled with joy.

Gu Qingyao knew about this project!

The moment she thought of this project, all the blood in her body froze!

When the project was being developed overseas, there were a lot of complaints when the location was selected, because it was at the island's earthquake zone. Although the location was not bad and was also the peak area for tourism, it was still too risky, and there were no insurance companies willing to take it.

A few years later, there really was an earthquake. The sea level fell and the whole resort was wiped out after only a year of profit.

It could be said that the financial crisis this time and the one before, had exhausted all of Nian Family's financial resources, and caused the power of the Nian Family to lower and lower as they talked.

However, all of this obviously happened a year after the financial crisis, so why did it happen so early?

Gu Qingyao shivered.

It suddenly occurred to her that perhaps everything had really changed.

The butterfly effect caused by his arrival slowly but surely began.
