My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce

Chapter 816: Chapter 816: Are You Eager to Ruin the Gu Family?

Gu Guotai looked at Gu Jing; he had originally pinned all his hope on his grandson.

Unfortunately, the grandson was too disappointing; otherwise, the Lu Family wouldn’t have been constantly under the thumb of the Dongfang Family.

He couldn’t help but sigh, “Everyone go back. Jing, you stay; from now on, you will be personally taught by me, and no one else is allowed to interfere.”

Gu Jing was taken aback, “Grandfather, please reconsider! If you were to teach me personally, I’m sure I would make you so angry that you’d be hospitalized. Don’t you care about your life?”

Hou Jinhua, fearing her son would suffer under the old master, couldn’t help but plead, “Dad, you need to rest and recuperate, don’t teach him yourself. He is a handful; If he really upsets you, it will not be worth it. Let him come home with me!”

Gu Guotai’s gaze darkened as he looked at Hou Jinhua, “Chengqiao’s wife, when did it become a problem for me to manage my own grandson? Previously, you and your husband didn’t want me to take charge, insisting on managing him yourselves. But look what you’ve turned him into? Your coddling is going to spoil him rotten! If I don’t take over now, he will be completely ruined! If he’s ruined, so is the Gu Family! Are you that eager to see the Gu Family fall?”

...

“No, Dad, that’s not what I meant!”

Gu Chengqiao actually didn’t want to hand his son over to the old master either and had wanted to plead for clemency, but seeing the old master’s demeanor, he swallowed his words.

He tugged Hou Jinhua’s sleeve, “Let it be, let Dad handle it, let’s go home!”

“But—”

“There are no ‘buts.’ Hurry up and go!”

Gu Chengqiao dragged Hou Jinhua away, and Gu Chengsong also left.

Gu Jing stood in the empty living room, looking at the pitch-black courtyard outside, and shivered.

Grandfather was naturally frugal and didn’t like to turn on too many lights because he thought it wasted electricity, not that he couldn’t spare the expense, but because he believed it wasted electrical resources.

In the past, he had secretly mocked his grandfather for this, but now he couldn’t laugh about it anymore. He wondered if he, too, would have to live in such a gloomy world. He’d rather be killed!

Right, his mobile phone was still with his mother; he had forgotten to take it back! How would he get through the night?

He tentatively said, “Grandfather, I left my mobile phone with my mum; I want to go back and retrieve it.”

Gu Guotai said expressionlessly, “No.”

Gu Jing persisted, “Then let the housekeeper make a call and have my mum bring it over; that’s alright, isn’t it?”

“You can forget about using your mobile phone for the time being. When you can understand the Corporation’s Financial Report, then you can use it!”

“Why would I need to understand that thing? Isn’t that for my older sister to look at? If she understands it, isn’t that enough? Why make things difficult for me?”

“She is going to marry someday, and she might marry into the Lu Family. Didn’t you just hear that?”

“So what if she marries into the Lu Family? Can she not manage the Corporation if she marries into it?”

“If she marries into the Lu Family, her son will carry the Lu surname! If she’s in charge of the Corporation, she’ll hand it over to her son, not yours. Would you like it if our Gu Family’s Corporation eventually goes by the surname Lu?”

Gu Jing suddenly drew a blank, unable to utter a word for a long while.

He had never even considered this issue before.

“Push me upstairs to the study room; I’m going to start teaching you starting today. You must seriously learn the way of business management with me!”

“What?! I have to take lessons this late?”

Gu Jing, who always got a headache at the thought of studying, reluctantly pushed Gu Guotai upstairs, “It’s almost ten o’clock, can’t we learn tomorrow? I want to sleep, and you should sleep too!”

Gu Guotai sneered, “You used to stay out all night, not returning home until dawn, and at this time, your nightlife would have just begun. Why do you suddenly want to sleep today of all days?”

“I usually catch up on sleep during the day! Didn’t I stay up over my mum’s matter today? I’m sleepy; I want to sleep!”

“No sleeping! To the study room!”
