Chapter 1618: I Should Have Guessed It Long Ago

Now, even with Gu Zhiming and Gu Zhihuan questioning him endlessly, how could he let the public know what he was told? Being the head of the Gu Family and the president of the company, what are the chances of disclosing such statements destroy his reputation?

“In short, grandfather didn’t tell me anything about the will!” Gu Zhilin said with certainty.

Gu Zhihuan could no longer hold back her emotions upon hearing what Gu Zhilin said, “Brother, you know what you’re doing now it’s wrong. You’re the eldest among us; you should know that we also have the right to inherit grandfather’s property since Gu Zhiming and I are also parts of the Gu family. Now you’re not saying anything. Are you planning to keep everything for yourself?”

This infuriated Gu Zhilin immediately, “What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? Don’t you remember how I took care of you all when you were young? Now you’re having doubts in me?”

Due to her desire to know if her benefits had been impaired, Gu Zhihuan felt that Gu Zhilin had a guilty conscience since he had hidden the contents of the conversation between him and grandfather, “I want to believe what you said too. But there’s just no way that grandfather not mentioning his will since he kept you alone for so long. We want to know what he said to you. It would not be such a big deal if you’d tell us in the beginning!”

“Gu Zhihuan, bear in mind that I am the head of the Gu family. Is this the appropriate manner to speak to me?!”

Being overloaded with pieces of information, Gu Zhilin directly used his status to suppress his sister.

Gu Zhihuan was stunned for a moment before bursting into tears. She wept miserably, “Dad, Mom, did you see that? This is my eldest brother, and he is treating me like this now! Have you all seen that?!”

The woman no longer looked like a daughter from a wealthy family. Instead, her behavior now resembled more of a shrew crying continuously while sitting on the chair.

A lively atmosphere filled the corridor immediately.

Grandfather Gu carefully observed his grandson, who entered the ward. Despite the crying of Gu Zhihuan and the furious roar of Gu Zhilin could be heard outside, it did not affect the silence inside the room.

Neither of them started the conversation. However, a long time later, Grandfather Gu broke the ice by waving to Gu Zhiqian while sighing deeply, “Come over to the side of my bed.”

Gu Zhiqian walked over and stood by Grandfather Gu’s bed, “Grandfather.”

The old man was stunned before a bitter smile spread across his face, “I never expected you to call me ‘grandfather’ again after all these years. It’s because you don’t think I have much time left, so you want to treat me better, right??”

The young man did not respond, but he just stood there quietly.

Old Master Gu sighed, “Actually, among the others, you’re the one who resembled your father the most. It reminds me of your father everytime I see you. I have indeed mistreated you and your mother for so many years.”

The old man was utterly aware of what Gu Zhilin and the other two had done to Gu Zhiqian, but he just could not be bothered to care about it. In retrospect, the current situation was precisely brought about by his constant preference for Gu Zhilin and his lack of concern for it.

Grandfather Gu looked deeply at Gu Zhiqian, “I asked you to come in as I have one question to ask you. You must tell me the truth.”

“Okay.”

“Are you Glory World’s behind-the-scenes boss?” Grandfather Gu stared at Gu Zhiqian for fear of missing his expression.

However, the young man’s face showed not much emotion. After a moment of silence, he answered, “Yes.”

A slight change took place on Grandfather Gu’s face when he heard the confirmation. Eventually, he felt relief, “I should have figured it out long ago…”
