Chapter 170: Unromantic Woman

The kiss lasted for quite a long while. When they separated, Yan Xi felt that her mouth was almost swollen.

Gu Shen was getting more and more unrestrained.

After regaining her senses, Yan Xi said, “Just now, Doctor Zhou told me that the nerves in your leg are showing signs of recovery. As long as we persist, we’ll definitely get a good outcome.”

Gu Shen was absent-minded because he was too focused on toying with Yan Xi’s fingers.

“Be serious.”

“I’m being serious.” Gu Shen looked at Yan Xi with a firm gaze.

“You’ll get better.” Yan Xi leaned into Gu Shen’s arms and said seriously.

Gu Shen hugged her and planted a kiss between Yan Xi’s eyebrows. His fingers gently brushed against her cheek.

Yan Xi’s skin was very smooth and fair, like a piece of white jade, making people unable to stop touching her. “How about tonight…”

Before Gu Shen could finish speaking, Yan Xi stood up.

She forgot to optimize the treatment plan. Gu Shen had improved greatly, so the plan needed to be optimized and adjusted. She planned to write it after convincing Gu Shen, but she kind of forgot about it.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Shen pursed his lips unhappily.

“I forgot that I still have a book to finish. I’ll feel terrible if I don’t finish it tonight.” She moved to the side. “I won’t disturb your rest. Tomorrow is Monday. You still have a morning meeting. Remember not to sleep too late.”

Without waiting for Gu Shen to reply, she walked out of the room and closed the door.

Gu Shen was speechless.

He had never seen such an unromantic woman. What book was it that was more important than him?

As Gu Shen was lost in thought, his phone rang.

It was a call from Gu Liu.

“President Gu, we’ve investigated.” Gu Liu reported methodically. “Professor Qin Liang is currently in the presidential palace and is treating the president’s back injury.”

“In addition, we also investigated Zhou Xu’s background. What he said was mostly true. He was adopted by an overseas Chinese when he was two years old. His adoptive mother is currently in an academy, studying biological genetic engineering. Her name is Yan He.” After that, Gu Liu paused for a moment and apologized.

“President Gu, sorry we couldn’t find any information about Yan He.”

Yan He? Gu Shen thought that this name sounded familiar, but he could not remember why.

He pinched the space between his eyebrows and asked, “Have you checked the archive too?”

“Yes, we only found the records of her leaving the country.” The rest of the information seemed to have been deliberately erased.

“I understand. Is there anything else?”

“Tomorrow, Old Master Gu will hold a board of directors meeting to elect another board of directors. This time, Gu Sheng will also be participating. However, don’t worry. According to the current situation, Gu Ling will definitely be kicked out.”

“Okay.” Gu Shen snorted and said coldly, “Remember to get some guards just in case they start a fight.”

“Yes.”

…

On Monday, at the morning meeting of the Gu Group.

The first thing Gu Hai did when he arrived was to announce that Gu Ling would be exempted from all duties on the board of directors.

This sudden news shocked everyone. Gu Ling was struck dumb, unable to utter a sound. She had already transferred the shares to Gu Shen. If she was kicked out of the board of directors, she would be gone from the company forever.

She wailed and ran to Old Master Gu, crying uncontrollably.

“Dad, why are you exempting me from my job? I worked hard for the Gu family, and this is how you treat me! I’m your biological daughter!”

Old Master Gu thumped his crutch onto the ground. The loud sound made everyone’s heart stop beating.

“Do you really want me to tell the world about what you did?! I hate internal strife in the family the most. Gu Ling, this is just a lesson for you. If this happens again, I won’t forgive you!”

Gu Ling was stunned for a moment before her tears started streaming down her face.

“Gu Sheng is your child, but am I not your child?”
