Chapter 728 Leniency for Confession (4)
"Gu Brother." Shuman walked briskly, her tone as compliant and gentle as ever.
"What is it?" Gu Annan asked indifferently, lifting his gaze.
"Today, I will probably leave Manchester. My father entrusted me with some matters."
"That is your private affair, you don’t need to tell me about it." His reply was cold.
Shuman was not surprised by his words, "I know, I mainly came to talk about another matter. Next week, at the old madam Gu’s birthday feast, I originally wanted to decline. But because of her invitation, my mother will go, and she will make me attend. I can’t refuse. I thought I should inform you of this. Gu Brother, I hope you... won’t dislike me."
"The birthday feast is for grandmother’s guests, and I won’t interfere with whom she wants to invite. Whether you go or not has little to do with me," Gu Annan’s gaze was icy, "But on this return to the old house, I will make it clear to grandmother that there will be no marriage between you and me."
Shuman’s expression remained unchanged, but her fingers clenched tightly.
She clenched her fists so hard that the nails pressed more and more painfully into her palms.
"The elders’ good relations are beneficial for both the family and business. I don’t wish for this matter to impact the business cooperation between our two families." He continued slowly, "But if it does have an impact, I don’t mind losing a few contracts."
Shuman understood his meaning, he would rather cut off business ties with the Shu Family than be with her.
Simply put, he wouldn’t fear anything even if he becomes estranged from the Shu Family.
She bit her lip secretly, but on her face, she just nodded and said submissively, "Gu Brother, I also don’t wish to affect these business cooperations. Regarding the last incident, I came to apologize, hoping you wouldn’t take your anger out on the Shu Family. I leaked to the media early because of old madam Gu and my mother’s intentions, thinking it was just a matter of time, which would positively influence both families’ business cooperation. It won’t happen again."
"Leave," said Gu Annan without saying much more.
