For Zhang De, Huo Yiwen is growing old, and her power will one day be replaced by Gu Xiaozhan.
Or, perhaps, very soon be replaced.
And now, Gu Xiaozhan is the most capable among the Gu Family’s children; he is destined to beco the new head of the Gu Family.
A wise bird chooses the best tree to nest in, a wise minister chooses the best lord to serve.
Having muddled through most of his life, how could Zhang De not understand this principle?
He watched Gu Xiaozhan leave, his body went limp, and he knelt on the ground...
Gu Xiaozhan is far more terrifying than the devil of legend; with a re flick of his finger, he can snap soone’s neck.
Outside the door.
Ye Wennuan gazed at Gu Xiaozhan with eyes full of admiration, deeply srized by his noble and refined aura, becoming truly infatuated.
"Mr. Gu, are you going to see the madam now?"
"Yes."
Gu Xiaozhan responded with indifference, passing by her as if she were invisible.
In his eyes, there was never a woman other than Mu Anhan.
Ye Wennuan had carefully dressed up after Huo Yiwen’s "episode."
Usually, she dresses intellectually, appearing quite talented.
But Huo Yiwen said Gu Xiaozhan likes fox spirits like Mu An, so she wore a sensuous off-shoulder gown, exposing her snowy neck and shoulders, and padded her chest thickly.
Voluptuous bust, slim waist, beautiful hips, long legs, flaming red lips were always Mu Anhan’s signature.
Huo Yiwen had Ye Wennuan emulate this style, yet Gu Xiaozhan was stingy with even a glance.
Huo Yiwen watched him push the door open and enter, clenching her fists. Mu Anhan, a fool who hadn’t even finished college, why does she deserve Gu Xiaozhan’s favor?
VIP hospital room.
"Xiao Zhan..." Huo Yiwen weakly called out to him.
Gu Xiaozhan sat in front of the hospital bed, softly calling out, "Mom..."
"Xiao Zhan, Mom knows you’re busy, and originally didn’t want to call you here, but how could you lay a hand on His Excellency’s son?" Huo Yiwen got straight to the point, "Our Gu Family is to integrate with the state institutions, not to act independently."
"The Sanwan Bridge incident, he can’t escape responsibility, shouldn’t I retaliate?" Gu Xiaozhan’s lips curved slightly in cold sarcasm.
Huo Yiwen was so agitated that she sat up straight from the bed, "The Sanwan Bridge incident is already over, if you wanted revenge, you would have done it early on, why wait until now? Clearly, it’s because of that little fox spirit Mu Anhan that you offended the President Mansion! That woman will ruin you!"
Gu Xiaozhan rely looked at her, who was frail monts ago, now ferociously erupting like the heavens collapsing, with an expression that said it all, and did not bother explaining. One aningful glance was enough for Huo Yiwen to understand.
Huo Yiwen’s act of feigning illness failed!
He’s seen through her!
Huo Yiwen felt ashad and angry, her own son had beco thousands of tis stronger than her, long past listening to her.
"Take good care of yourself, I have so matters to attend to, so I’m leaving." Gu Xiaozhan stood up coldly.
Huo Yiwen watched his back, shouting in frustration, "If you drive out that fox spirit now, there’s still ti to limit the damage, otherwise, in the long run, you’ll struggle to maintain your standing, even within the Gu Family, let alone the national stage."
Standing at the door, Gu Xiaozhan paused but did not turn around, "If anyone dares to lay a finger on her, I, Gu Xiaozhan, will fight to the death for her!"
In this world, anyone who dares to harm Mu Anhan is an enemy of Gu Xiaozhan!
He grew up in the brutal world of gunfire and bullets, and the thing he dares most to do is—fight with his life.
