Chapter 837: Marrying into the Gu family
Shen Xi studied Gu Chen’s face for a while before turning to Gu An. She asked with a sharp smile, "Mr Gu, I wonder what my father did to you that caused you to transfer the goods and frame him?"
Gu An glanced at Shen Xi disdainfully and replied, "What do you mean by I framed him? This was the truth. Your father bought substandard building materials. All the evidence is conclusive."
"Second Uncle, Xi is also one of us. Let’s not hide it and talk about it directly." Gu Chen said in a slightly heavy tone. "I invited you here today because I want you to be magnanimous and return those things to Xi’s father and claim his innocence."
Gu An’s gaze fell on Gu Chen’s face and he sneered. "One of us? Gu Chen, our surname is Gu and her surname is Shen. We couldn’t have been in the same family 800 years ago. Besides, if I return those materials to their rightful place and prove Shen Yan’s innocence, wouldn’t that be blatantly telling everyone that it was our Gu family who committed the crime, not the Shen family? Gu Chen, where did you put the Gu family?"
Gu Chen looked a little embarrassed and said, "Second Uncle, the Gu family doesn’t need to come forward for this matter. When materials are stolen, there will naturally be thieves. As long as the price is high, there will naturally be thieves who will plead guilty."
"Why would I do such a thankless thing? I went through so much trouble for a little girl with the surname Shen. What’s there for me?" Gu An said casually.
It was obvious that he did not want to help.
The materials and accounts related to the Shen Corporation in the Ninghai Project have been handed over to the investigation team.
