Chapter 740. Meeting Again After Six Years (5)
“So, you decided to let Lingtian stay because he went there together with you. He was good friends with Gu Lingsha, wasn’t he?” Zhou Zimo squinted at Mu Yuchen.
Mu Yuchen took a deep breath and nodded. “Mmm, back then, I knew that Lingtian was pretty close to Gu Lingsha and Qi Feng, and most people already know about Gu Lingsha and Qi Feng’s relationship by then. I assumed Gu Lingsha succumbed to her family’s pressure and agreed to stay with me. I told Lingtian everyone will be free after three months, and I asked him to trust me and stay with the Gu family on behalf of me as a part of an act for the media.”
“But Lingtian and Gu Lingsha didn’t stay through the full duration, did they?” Zhou Zimo roughly remembered the past.
“Nope, in fact, things were peaceful in the first two months, but I don’t know why Gu Lingsha insisted that Lingtian bring her back to the Mu residence to see me. Gu Qiwu approached my grandfather several times for me to marry Gu Lingsha immediately. I noticed there was something up with the Hui Gu Corporation and Qi Kai. Gu Qiwu might’ve been trying to put Gu Lingsha beside me as a spy. In turn, I agreed to marry Gu Lingsha so that I could get her under control and prevent her from doing anything behind my back. Apart from that, I could find out what they were up to through Gu Lingsha.”
“So, Gu Qiwu was desperate for Gu Lingsha to marry you for two reasons. Firstly because of the project with Qi Qiming, and secondly, to get help from Glory World to help him get past the financial crisis?” Zhou Zimo was surprised.
“It’s just a hypothesis. Gu Qiwu can be quite cunning. He’s much more difficult to deal with when compared to Qi Qiming.”
“What happened afterward? Why did Gu Lingsha elope with Qi Feng? What about Lingtian? Why did they do all that?”
“I don’t know. I’m dying to know the answers more than anybody else.” Mu Yuchen crossed his arms behind his head. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door just when he was about to continue talking.
“Come in.”
