Chapter 1357. Racked Her Brains? 7
“She just racked her brains and overestimated herself!”
His sneer of disdain rang through every corner of the room while those depth-filled eyes of his brimmed with cold indifference.
“Want to see who’s more callous? She can never beat me. She’s always overestimated herself.”
“Callous? Mr. Gu, she’s the one who put you in here. Without Master’s help, when do you think you’ll be able to walk out of here?” Li Si smiled, and when he recalled everything that had happened, he could not help but lament, “All these years, everyone hasn’t had it easy, especially Master. But, Mr. Gu, you know best the root of all these tragedies. Even the old Madam, she…” At this, his voice turned heavy.
No matter what, Wang Hui’s incident was a thorn that could not be removed in everyone’s hearts. Only they themselves knew how deep the thorn was buried in their hearts.
At the mention of Wang Hui, Gu Qiwu’s expression fell silent. His hand that set before him clenched into a slight fist. After a while, he sighed and said solemnly, “I couldn’t have expected for that to happen either, but about the thing between Zixi and I, the responsibility lies on me.”
Gu Qiwu was not the kind to explain too much either. He knew he was wrong, though the mistakes were already made, so there was no point nitpicking who was wrong and who was right.
“Yes, that’s why when it comes to this, Mr. Gu, I’m hoping that you can think of a way to compromise, at least, in a way that doesn’t make it difficult for everyone. Even though Master is coming from Lingshi and Ah Mo’s standpoint, he could be less petty with many things. As for the old Chairman and Minister Mu…”
At this juncture, Li Si did not continue while Gu Qiwu did not look too happy, but he did not say anything.
