Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage

Chapter 869: Chapter 870: This is a war between my uncle and me

Gu Zhaohan’s voice was ice-cold, “Mom, you’re right. I’ve always been comparing myself to him because I didn’t want to fall too far behind. He is the prodigy in your eyes, and no matter how hard I try, I can only live in his shadow. Have any of you ever truly cared about my feelings? I just like Xia Yangyang. I don’t know if it’s because of love, Uncle’s influence, or both, but as things stand now, she is the one I most want to fight for, the one I most want to obtain. Even if she doesn’t love me, it doesn’t matter; as long as she is by my side, that’s enough. I will find a way to make her fall in love with me. If you truly treat me equally with Uncle, both you and Grandpa should not interfere. This is a war between Uncle and me.”

Gu Mingzhu was almost stunned into motionlessness.

Her fingers were clenched so tightly that she could feel her temples throbbing.

Gu Zhaohan said it didn’t matter if she didn’t love him, as long as she was by his side.

That was virtually a curse.

Hadn’t she herself fallen into such an illusion?

She thought it didn’t matter that Gao Wenbin did not love her, as long as she could tie him to her side by any means necessary. She bared her true heart to him.

One day, he would come to like her.

But fate slapped her hard in the face.

And now, the words Gu Zhaohan said were exactly like hers back then.

This gave Gu Mingzhu the feeling of a nightmare repeating itself.

Her worst fear had still happened.

Gu Zhaohan truly was her son; even his thoughts mirrored hers from back then.

Yet it was because of this same obsession that she suffered her entire life.

She could not allow her son to walk down that same path.

Gu Mingzhu said, “Alright, let’s not talk about Yangyang for now. Tell me, what’s happening with the company?”

Gu Zhaohan’s expression changed slightly.

“Don’t think I’m unaware of the commotion you’ve been causing at Shengyuan, buying people’s loyalty and instigating the board to re-elect a Chairman. What’s your purpose?”

Gu Zhaohan replied, “Since I am now one of the three major directors of the company, I have the right to do so.”

“Do you want to be the Chairman yourself? How could you do this to your uncle?”

“If Uncle is so easily overthrown by me, then Grandpa handing over Shengyuan to him was clearly not a wise decision.”

Gu Zhaohan spoke with an air of nonchalance.

“I will not allow this. I won’t let you challenge your uncle’s authority. Shengyuan is the empire he built. Without him making way for you, do you really think you would have obtained half of the shares? What Shengyuan was when Grandpa handed it over to him, and what it became after—this is all made possible by Uncle’s tireless efforts. Aren’t you ashamed of what you’re doing now?”

“I’ll repeat myself, if Uncle really can be overthrown by me, then he might as well step down from his position earlier.”

“Gu Zhaohan, you—”

Gu Mingzhu felt that she truly had never understood her son.

He was now so coldly determined, so full of ambition.

He was wreaking havoc at Shengyuan.

She had no idea what his intentions were.

In fact, she was afraid to think about it.

Gu Zhaohan was already the General Manager of Jiang Chen, and now he was also a major shareholder of Shengyuan.

What exactly did he want to do?

Gu Zhaohan seemed unwilling to say more, “I have to get back to the office now, there’s a meeting at the company.”

After speaking, Gu Zhaohan turned and left.
