CHAPTER 455: CHAPTER 279 SILENT LOVE AND HATE 2

Moreover, Tian Xin’s parents had no idea what happened on the island. When Tian Xin was hospitalized for a week, all she told them was that she was on a business trip!

Finding their missing son should have been a joyous occasion, but reality is always so cruel, too cruel for one to face.

That evening, Aunt Tian prepared a lot of delicious dishes. "Qingchen, it’s your first time visiting our home. Just like Ranran is like a daughter to me, you are like a son-in-law, the same as Junyi. Please come over often when you have time. Everyone, please enjoy the food, don’t be polite..."

All four young people ate very little, each preoccupied with their own thoughts.

Bei Ran did not want to upset the elders, so she dished out some food and said, "Auntie’s cooking is really delicious, I come here to eat quite often. Don’t worry, auntie, I will bring Qingchen and the kids over often."

"I love children the most..." Aunt Tian said, "I can’t sit still even after retirement, I might as well take care of the children. Xin Xin, don’t you agree?"

Tian Xin raised her head to look at her; her complexion was somewhat pale. She feared not only giving birth, but even the thought of being intimate with a man frightened her.

Yang Junyi hurried to ease the tension, "Auntie, people nowadays prefer to have children later. Don’t rush it! If you really can’t wait, then spend time with Big Fish and Little Fish, they are your grandchildren too, right?"

Tian Xin gratefully looked towards Yang Junyi, who was serving her food, looking at her tenderly.

"Junyi, I’m not in a hurry either. Moreover, it hasn’t been long since the mother-in-law passed away. Your matters aren’t urgent. I’m happy as long as the two of you are in love," Aunt Tian said. "Just don’t spoil Xin Xin too much!"

"I like spoiling her this way!" Yang Junyi said softly.

Tears suddenly fell from Tian Xin’s eyes, and she couldn’t help but cry at the dinner table!

Aunt Tian was startled, "Why are you crying? Xin Xin..."

Tian Xin knew Yang Junyi treated her well, but when he spoke like that in front of everyone, she couldn’t help but cry a flood of tears!

Especially after having been intimate with other men...

Even though they were all modern people who wouldn’t fuss over such matters, his gentle and delicate affection still moved her deeply from within.

"I’m touched..." Tian Xin said through her tears.

"Silly child, this is your good fortune!" Aunt Tian laughed, "Stop crying, or you’ll become a laughingstock!"

Bei Ran handed a tissue to Tian Xin, who took it and then laughingly said through her tears, "Everyone, please eat! You have to eat a lot. If you don’t finish, you’re not giving my mom face. If my mom gets angry because of it, the consequences will be serious..."

"Silly girl!" Aunt Tian laughed.

After the meal, Bei Ran and Gu Qingchen got up to take their leave.

Yang Junyi also prepared to leave, and Tian Xin went out to see him off.

She was silent and couldn’t speak. Yang Junyi gazed at her intently, "Don’t think about anything. I truly want to cherish you like this, for the rest of my life!"

Tian Xin couldn’t help but throw herself into his embrace, "Junyi, you know about me... my past, why are you still so good to me?"

"You still don’t believe when I say you’re silly!" Yang Junyi stroked her hair, "A responsible man, a man who loves a woman, how could he care about those things?"

"Have a good rest!" Yang Junyi said softly, "I’m going home now!"

"Okay!" Tian Xin nodded, reluctantly letting go of his waist.

Since Yang Junyi’s hand made it inconvenient for him to drive, he rode in Gu Qingchen’s car, with Bei Ran in the passenger seat, and he sat in the back.

In the car, the three of them fell into an unprecedented silence.

All three of them knew that Song Xuyao was Tian Xin’s brother. This outcome was cruel for everyone, yet no one had told the Tian family the cruel truth!

Gu Qingchen was focused on driving, "Junyi, what do you plan to do? Hiding this from the Tian family isn’t right. The Tian family is eager to find their missing son while they are still alive. If we tell them, it will be too much for Tian Xin to bear!"

"Let me think about it," Yang Junyi’s voice grew heavy.

At this moment, Bei Ran said, "Junyi, let me share my thoughts. I think it’s best to tell the Tian family. After all, they have the right to know. Tian Xin will definitely be saddened, but the truth is the truth, something none of us can change."

"I understand that, but I really can’t bear to see Tian Xin upset!" Yang Junyi sighed, "Especially when she pretends to be strong, I truly wish I could bear all her pain."

Bei Ran looked out at the nighttime city of A, still filled with colorful neon lights, bustling and noisy, unaffected by anyone’s sorrow.

"We all feel the same..." Bei Ran murmured softly, each of them wishing to bear it all on her behalf.

Because love, is just that simple.

Gu Group.

Gu Yucheng received a message; it was an image showing Ji Su drinking in a bar surrounded by a group of men.

Among them were several assassins who had come from abroad to City A, which instantly tightened Gu Yucheng’s heart.

Gu Yucheng replied with a message: What do you want to do?

The other party sent back a message: Oust Gu Qingchen from the company!

Gu Yucheng said nothing, nor did he touch his phone; he simply set his phone aside.

The other side didn’t seem in a hurry to wait for his response. After all, they both knew well that Gu Yucheng aspired to achieve great things within the Gu Group, and this had long been his dream. Now with external forces pushing him, he naturally wanted it even more.

Gu Yucheng lit a cigarette, fully aware that if he did not agree, Ji Su might be assassinated somewhere, and regardless of whether he still loved her or not, she was always the mother of his child!

Love that entangled for so many years, so much hate that entwined; love could bind, and hate could linger, he thought all was over.

Yet, everlasting love might end in an instant, but enmity lasts forever without end.

He finished his cigarette, snuffed out the stub in the ashtray, and then sent a single word in response, Okay!

Soon after, he received another photo from the other side, showing Ji Su with no one around her.

Gu Yucheng put down his phone, then ordered his assistant Lu Fei, "Tonight, host a dinner for a few shareholders at the Jiaoyang Club, you go take care of it first!"

"Yes!" Recognizing Gu Yucheng was about to take action, Lu Fei immediately went to do it.

The next day, a senior management meeting of the Gu Group.

More than half of the shareholders voted to let Gu Yucheng continue as the vice president at the Gu Group headquarters.

Gu Qingchen looked at them; these old shareholders must have been won over by Gu Yucheng’s benefits otherwise, how could they have switched sides so quickly?

"Eldest Young Master, since the chairman hasn’t appeared for a while now, rumors say he is critically ill," said one shareholder, "This isn’t good for the development of the Gu Group! Having the Second Young Master run the company now makes sense - united, brothers can easily cut through metal, as the saying goes!"

"Exactly, exactly..." someone immediately echoed, "No matter what, we are brothers, and we all want to contribute to the company. Eldest Young Master, let’s just decide this way!"

Gu Qingchen looked at Gu Yucheng, who had recently been busy non-stop with hospitals and pharmaceutical plants, trying to save Gu Bohan, leaving indeed little time to manage the company’s affairs.

This had allowed Gu Yucheng to secretly gather a force to rival him.

Gu Yucheng meanwhile, was as steady as Mount Tai, not uttering a word, but locking eyes with Gu Qingchen.

Gu Qingchen knew that once he compromised today, maybe one day, these shareholders would force him out of the Gu Group.

In fact, as long as Gu Bohan spoke a word, he would not cling to these riches and power. But now, with Gu Bohan in a coma, if he left, it would be irresponsible to the company.

"Give me some time to think!" said Gu Qingchen, "Meeting adjourned!"

After the meeting was dismissed, everyone left.

The two brothers were left alone in the conference room. Gu Qingchen sabotaged the camera in the meeting room and then threw something at Gu Yucheng: "What are you doing at a time like this?"

"What have I done?" Gu Yucheng dodged, "It’s just the shareholders showing me old loyalty, that’s all!"

In this world, how many truly cherish old times?

During his trip to Africa, Gu Yucheng had demonstrated his precise investment skills. He had invested in rare materials like diamonds and made a fortune, which he then shared with these shareholders, helping them earn pots of gold.

Everyone knows, in the business world, people are always insatiable, especially the richer they are, the more this holds true.

Gu Qingchen leaned a hand on the table: "I know you’ve always coveted the Gu Group, so it was you who poisoned him, wasn’t it?"

"You need evidence to accuse me!" Gu Yucheng raised an eyebrow, "Without evidence, even you, I would sue for libel! By the way, I forgot to tell you something, Gu Group, I am indeed determined to acquire it."

Having said that, Gu Yucheng walked out briskly.

Gu Qingchen lit a cigarette, he had to deal not only with the combined stains of Qin Shan and Long Fei but now there was also infighting with his own brother. He was caught between two fires, how could he attend to both?

Financial News: As Chairman Gu Bohan of the Gu Group has been absent, control of the company now rests with the Gu brothers. Rumors have long suggested a discord between the Gu brothers, and now we wait to see as they co-manage the Gu Group, whether they will drive the company to new heights of glory or lead it to decline...

Bei Ran and Ji Su were drinking coffee on the street and exchanged glances upon seeing this news on the super-large screen in the business district.

The two sisters had buried the hatchet, often hanging out for coffee and shopping, while the two brothers were still locked in a life-and-death struggle.

"Gu Yucheng has always wanted to control the Gu Group, and now he has finally gotten his wish, especially after father fell ill..." Ji Su sighed, "His ambition is too great; he used to be somewhat restrained with father around, but now I fear..."
