Chapter 664: Untitled

However, for them to truly get into action, it would definitely take some time.

Gu Qingjiu was in no hurry.

She slightly narrowed her eyes as she pondered what Helian Niancheng meant by those words.

Helian Niancheng reached out and pulled Gu Qingjiu to sit on his lap.

“You don’t need to worry about it so much.”

He said those in a low voice, as though comforting Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qingjiu actually didn’t mind at all.

In the past, she had so badly wanted to take revenge on the Yu family. Still, from the looks of it, it wasn’t easy to take revenge on the Yu family in the corporate world just by merely entering the military.

Especially since Yu Shiwei hooked up with Ye Huinan.

But now that she had sorted out her thoughts, she understood something.

What was there to think about dealing with the Yu family?

Simply use whatever means there was available.

Even if she couldn’t wreck the Yu family, she had to inflict some severe damage at least for them to have a hard time turning things around.

So now, she understood that Helian Niancheng might have done something behind her back. Then again, she no longer had any objection about it.

Gu Qingjiu hadn’t expected that Yu Shiwei would actually show up the next day to look for her.

When the manager called and said that someone wished to see her, it mildly surprised her.

After confirming the other party was looking for her and not Helian Niancheng, Gu Qingjiu asked who it was.

It turned out it was Yu Shiwei.

Her heart paused for a moment, and a hint of a smile curled at the corners of her lips. But she didn’t refuse. “Let her come up.”

Gu Qingjiu left the bedroom and went to the guest room on the first floor.

Yu Shiwei wore a white silk dress that day.

The fitting fabric accentuated her perfect figure.

As she walked, her hips swayed, exuding a mix of innocence and seductive allure. Perhaps no men could shift their gaze away from her.

She bit her lips as she entered the elevator, but then, flames of fury nearly shot out from her eyes.

She had no idea what the hell was wrong with her mother to argue with Gu Qingjiu in this hotel even.

She had always known that Gu Qingjiu was staying there, and she was also the one who told Tan Yalan about it.

But she honestly hadn’t expected that her mother would act so recklessly.

Ye Huinan had ordered her not to mess with Gu Qingjiu, regardless.

It was only because of that reason alone that she restrained herself.

Now that something of the sort had happened, her mother got chased out of the hotel and blacklisted.

After learning of this incident, Ye Huinan threw a great temper, something he rarely did.

Someone informed him right after the incident happened. One could be sure that someone had told him about it.

That was the first time Yu Shiwei saw Ye Huinan get so angry. He merely said this one line with a dark countenance, ‘If you cannot make her forgive you, just wait for the person backing her to fix you to death.’

This brought fear to Yu Shiwei’s heart.

She roughly knew that the person backing Gu Qingjiu was that army officer she saw before.

Gnashing her teeth in a fury, she had a hard time holding in the anger.

She didn’t mind the fact that she was forced to come and apologise to Gu Qingjiu. But what exactly did that man see in Gu Qingjiu?

She was that unpresentable younger sister of hers whom she had never taken to heart.

Yet, she could meet someone who even Ye Huinan was wary of.

The previous incident already clarified that the other party’s identity was not simple.

No wonder Ye Huinan flew into such a great rage this time.

Hence, she took special care in dolling herself up. Even if she was around to apologize, she had to attract this person’s attention.

When the elevator door opened, she saw the place where Gu Qingjiu stayed. Luxurious facilities filled the entire floor that she couldn’t help but feel more jealous and hateful.

Why was it that Gu Qingjiu could stay in such a place as she wished?

Gu Qingjiu, who was standing not far away, suddenly stuck out her body and caught Yu Shiwei off guard. She hurriedly plastered on a coquettish smile.

But that man wasn’t standing behind Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qingjiu sized up Yu Shiwei, a sneer surfacing in her eyes. “What brings the First Miss of the Yu family here?”

Failing to see the person she wanted to see, Yu Shiwei recalled what her aim was for coming and could only suppress that sour sensation.

But she refused to bow down to Gu Qingjiu.

Raising her chin, she faced Gu Qingjiu with an arrogant attitude. “I’m here to apologize to you. I’m very sorry about what my mother did yesterday.”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

Looking at Yu Shiwei’s manner, Gu Qingjiu very much wanted to ask her what the hell was wrong with her.

She was here to apologize, yet she didn’t have the attitude of someone apologizing?

Those who didn’t know better might think that the person in the wrong was Gu Qingjiu.

“Who am I to receive your apology? I don’t even know what your mother did wrong. Why should you come here and apologize?”

Gu Qingjiu slightly tilted her head sideways to show her confusion.

Yu Shiwei’s blood boiled at her response. “Gu Qingjiu, don’t think that you can be arrogant simply because you hooked up with someone powerful. You’re going to fall to your death eventually when you get dumped!”

Shortly into her supposed apology attempt, she lost it and blurted out something.

Yu Shiwei really couldn’t keep her cool in front of Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qingjiu curled her lips. “Are you describing yourself? Me and my boyfriend are mutually fond of each other, and us dating doesn’t get in anyone’s way. On the other hand, are you Ye Huinan’s proper girlfriend?”

Yu Shiwei’s countenance changed abruptly.

Having stayed around for quite some time, Gu Qingjiu had heard of some discreet gossip.

A short while ago, she heard of Ye Huinan bringing some girl to a function. In contrast, this First Miss of the Yu family was nothing in his eyes.

Or else, why wouldn’t he bring her as his companion to that function?

Her words pricked Yu Shiwei where it hurt.

In Ye Huinan’s heart, perhaps he never considered Yu Shiwei as a woman; she was just a plaything to him.

If he were in the mood, he would toy with her. If not, he would treat her in whatever way he pleased.

Back then, it took her much effort to hook up with Ye Huinan to save her Yu family. And now, it was too late for regrets.

Although Ye Huinan was indeed outstanding, only Yu Shiwei herself would know the misery within.

He didn’t even give her a proper status. Although the prideful Yu Shiwei couldn’t swallow the humiliation, there was nothing she could do about it.

Now that Gu Qingjiu brought it up, her eyes nearly turned red from anger.

“You, with the surname Gu, what are you so arrogant about?”

Seeing Yu Shiwei’s red eyes, Gu Qingjiu got a great kick out of it.

If not for Yu Shiwei, she wouldn’t have died in prison in her previous lifetime, and she wouldn’t have lived her last days in torment.

What happened in her previous life was still fresh in her memories. Yu Shiwei’s gestures made her yearn to laugh out loud.

However, Gu Qingjiu maintained a calm expression and slightly raised her eyelids. She said, “If this is the attitude you display when apologizing, I’m afraid I don’t have the good fortune to accept it.”

Yu Shiwei started panicking. She had let anger get the best of her and forgot all about her mission. At the moment, she felt a tinge of regret. Restraining herself, she said, “Gu Qingjiu, if you’re capable, don’t let... that person help you! You’re nothing without him. You don’t even have what it takes to make Ye Huinan have a high opinion of you!”

In her anxiousness, she even thought of goading Gu Qingjiu. Gu Qingjiu simply replied casually, “I know. I don’t need Ye Huinan to have a high opinion of me, anyway. I don’t even know him. Besides, why are you saying all this to me? Did I say I was going to do something?”

But if her boyfriend reminded her and offered to help, you couldn’t blame this on her.

Sure, she asked her Great Aunt to help, but she wasn’t the one taking action.

Gu Qingjiu’s words made Yu Shiwei think that Gu Qingjiu would do nothing to the Yu family, causing relief to wash over her. “Gu Qingjiu, I’ve already said my piece. Although Mom was in the wrong, she’s after all your mother. All is fine after the misunderstanding clears up. Why do you need to get into a fight with her in such a place? Even bringing embarrassment to the two of you?”

“...”

Gu Qingjiu felt like she might have overestimated Yu Shiwei’s intelligence all along.

The incredulous Gu Qingjiu stared at her smug face as she left before returning to her room.

Helian Niancheng had been on the phone, and when he saw Gu Qingjiu enter, he quickly hung up.

“Done talking?”

“Mm.”

Although she felt that there was a screw loose in Yu Shiwei’s head, Gu Qingjiu didn’t wish to bring up such vexing matters in front of Helian Niancheng.

“I’ll be going over to my teacher’s to resume training in a few days. When next semester begins, I’ll begin preparation for the shooting competition.”

“Mm. Work hard.”

He went along with what she was saying. Gu Qingjiu turned her head and glanced at him, then suddenly laughed.

Helian Niancheng stroked her hair. “No longer mad?”

“I wasn’t mad, to begin with.”

Gu Qingjiu wore a beam on her face. If she bothered to get mad with that sort of person, she would long have been driven to death by anger.

She had suffered enough of such anger in her previous lifetime.

“I have to make a trip back to Penalan in September, for about two weeks. Focus on training.”

Gu Qingjiu nodded. “Got it.”

It was like this with her and Helian Niancheng. Without the need for excessive words, there was a tacit understanding between the two of them.

After this incident with Yu Shiwei, Ye Huinan seemed to develop a wariness of Helian Niancheng.

He directly retracted his help towards the Yu family.

The Yu family, who was turning things around, suffered an even greater blow than the last one after this incident.

However, regardless of how Yu Shiwei begged Ye Huinan, the latter never stepped out to help this time.

It wasn’t worthwhile for him to offend someone from the Helian family for the sake of a woman.

This woman was dispensable to him, to begin with.

Without Ye Huinan’s help, the Yu Corporation went back to the dire state it was in before.

The corporations that had designs on the Yu Corporation back then were tempted after seeing this state of things. They wished to take over the Yu Corporation for themselves.

This was a disaster for the Yu family.

Without the Yu Corporation backing them up in North City, how could they maintain the glory they enjoyed?

Yu Shiwei knew that this matter must have something to do with Gu Qingjiu, but she had no evidence. Moreover, she had no means of seeing Gu Qingjiu anymore. So naturally, there wasn’t anything she could do about it.

Gu Shouyan, who had been observing the situation, finally struck out.

She submitted a proposal to her superiors, a proposal regarding the acquisition of the Yu Corporation.

If she had submitted this to the higher-ups back then, it might not evoke much of a response.

Since her company had plans for expansion, Gu Shouyan’s proposal received approval quickly.

However, what surprised Gu Shouyan was that although she was only responsible for submitting the proposal, the management board made a somewhat surprising decision.

That was for Gu Shouyan to handle the acquisition of Yu Corporation.

Gu Shouyan knew very well that if the acquisition was successful, it would cause massive profits for her company.

But it was impossible for her to be entrusted with such an important task. Why was such a decision made so suddenly?

A friend in the management she had ties with secretly revealed that it was the highest management’s decision for Gu Shouyan to reform the Yu Corporation.

As for who it was, that friend did not know.

Although she didn’t understand, Gu Shouyan naturally obliged since this was the company’s arrangement.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t considered the possibility that it was because of that niece of hers. But then, the lass gave her that piece of information at such a coincidental timing.

However, her company was one of the largest enterprises in the country. Surely her niece didn’t have the means to influence all this?

Hence she simply dismissed the idea and went about executing the acquisition of Yu Corporation.

The acquisition negotiations would take some time. The Yu family was still hoping that Ye Huinan would change his mind and continue to lend support to them. Hence they were putting up a last-ditch struggle and refusing to give up.

Facing the pressure from other corporations, the Yu family refused to give in.

Naturally, this would cause a stalemate for some time.

But how long could they hang on?

...

August arrived.

Gu Qingjiu was pleased to hear that things were unsteady at the Yu Corporation. It was a matter of time before they would be swallowed whole by some company.

Even if she couldn’t do it personally, the Yu family’s collapse was considered revenge taken for her.

Without the Yu Corporation backing up Yu Shiwei and her parents, one could just imagine what the rest of their lives would be like.

Of course, she knew that Yu Shiwei desperately wanted to look for her.

But Gu Qingjiu was somewhere heavily guarded by their country, so Yu Shiwei couldn’t get to see her.

It was time for her to strive hard for her own goals.

It had been a long time since she got to touch a gun, ever since she got injured.

Although Elder Gong was blind, he had a kind heart.

When Gu Qingjiu came to this training center today, he only said, “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Just take things naturally like before.”

It was because Gu Qingjiu had injured her arm and had recently just removed the bandage.

Even the scar had yet to fade.

Since it had been a while since Gu Qingjiu touched a gun, nobody dared to guarantee if the injury would affect Gu Qingjiu. Hence Elder Gong advised her to take it easy.

Gu Qingjiu nodded, inhaled a breath of air before gripping the gun handle.

Yin Ruoyi, who rarely came around, watched by the side.

Though, ever since the international competition ended, Yin Ruoyi frequently came to this place.

He watched as Gu Qingjiu held the gun and fired a shot at a hundred-meter moving target.

And quickly hitting the bullseye.

However, it was apparent Gu Qingjiu’s expression froze momentarily.

Seeing this, Yin Ruoyi commented with his arms crossed, “Not bad. The injury probably didn’t affect you that much.”

Even though it had been a long time since she held a gun, she still hit the bullseye. Clearly, her capabilities were still there.

When Elder Gong heard the reported result, he nodded. “Qingjiu, how do you feel?”

Gu Qingjiu’s expression revealed that she was a tad surprised.

She replied blandly, “Feels like there aren’t any problems, and my arm isn’t affected. But because of the scar on my left arm, it doesn’t feel as nimble as before.”

But most importantly, it had been a long time since she practiced.

Gu Qingjiu felt that her sensitivity towards the bullseye had increased instead of decreased?

However, it was just a fleeting feeling in her heart. Gu Qingjiu had to practice more to be sure.
