Gu Liao looked at Joseph’s call but did not pick it up. He quietly waited for him to hang up.

“Has Joseph been contacting you recently?”

“Yes, there’s a mission.”

“Gu Liao, everyone in the capital knows about the Gu Family Protection Order. I’m afraid there aren’t many days left.”

Gu Liao nodded. The Gu Family Protection Order was an order that only the person in charge of the Gu family could issue. In the Gu family, besides the old master, only he, the heir, could issue it.

It would take some time for that group of people to be investigated, but it definitely wouldn’t take too long.

“Young Madam, let’s go.”

Xie Ru looked at the group of people coming in and out of the hospital room. These people had been appearing here frequently since yesterday afternoon, and each of them had a symbol on their bodies.

Gu.

Could it be that the Gu family sent people to protect her?

Xie Ru returned to the Gu family’s villa and saw an unexpected person.

How could Qin Zhen still dare to appear in front of her? Was the lesson she’d been taught not enough?

“Xie Ru, you’re finally here. You don’t know how flustered I was when I saw the news. I couldn’t wait to be by your side to care for you. Fortunately, nothing happened to you.”

Xie Ru looked at Qin Zhen with emotionless eyes and the latter’s heart trembled as if she had been seen through.

“Why are you people stopping me? Don’t you know that this is my niece?”

“Is it Second Aunt?”

“Yes, yes. Get out of the way. Xie Ru, what are these people doing?”

“Second Aunt, who are they? Isn’t there only Aunt Chen?”

The people around her warned her with their gazes. Qin Zhen quickly changed her tone and said, “Who? I haven’t seen anyone. Second Aunt was just joking with you.”

“That’s good. I thought there were others here.”

Qin Zhen let out a sigh of relief. Then, she linked her arm with Xie Ru’s and entered the villa.

Xiao Gu shook his tail as he followed Xie Ru. Despite not seeing Xie Ru for so many days, their bond only grew stronger.

“Xie Ru, let’s go to your room. Second Aunt has something private to tell you. There are so many outsiders here, so it’s not easy for Second Aunt to tell you now.”

“Okay then.”

What was this woman trying to do? Xie Ru was puzzled. Still, she brought Qin Zhen to her room upstairs. Gu Liao should be lying on the bed now.

She hoped he would continue to play the vegetative cripple others think he was.

Fortunately, he was.

“Second Aunt, what do you want to say? There’s no one else here.”

Qin Zhen walked to the side of the bed and looked over. Gu Liao was still the same. His face was pale and he was still reliant on the equipment to survive.

Why did Qin Zhen look at Gu Liao’s face? Did she notice something?

“Oh, Xie Ru, there’s nothing important. I just came to see you. You know that this is the Gu family. Some things are really hard to say in front of others.”

“Second Aunt, are you talking about the 50 million? Don’t tell me that Second Uncle doesn’t have the money? So many days have passed. Do you guys have it ready?”

“Xie Ru, the rest of the money has already been prepared. If it wasn’t because of the unhappy incident last time, I’m afraid that the money would have fallen into your hands already.”

If it wasn’t for this little sl*t tearing up the transfer of shares last time, they would have already gotten the shares by now. Then wouldn’t the 50 million yuan have fallen into her hands easily? Did it have to be until now?

After the old master of the Gu family found out about this matter, he retrieved the shares back and the Xie family had a hard time trying to refute them.

“Second Aunt, although this matter is only known to a few of us, it’s inevitable that one day it will be exposed. It’s better to settle the money early.”

Xie Ru looked carefully at Gu Liao on the bed, hoping that this person wouldn’t drop the ball when the time came.

“Of course. I’ll take my leave then.”

Xie Ru watched as Qin Zhen walked towards the door, opened it, then closed it back. But she was still there.

Xie Ru thought of an idea and said, “This detestable Second Aunt. I don’t know when she will give me the money. She always acts like she’s rich but now I’m really doubting it.”

Xie Ru saw Qin Zhen’s change in expression and increased the dosage. “And apparently, at the banquet last time, everyone said that Xie Wutong and Second Aunt were ugly, dark, and unsightly.”

“They are talking nonsense.”

Gu Liao was about to get up from bed when he suddenly stopped. The Xie family dared to test him now, of all times..
