Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband
Chapter 102: Scheming

Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Scheming

Even Ji Yu could see what was going on—how could Sun Yongxin possibly not know?

"Put away your petty thoughts. I’m here treating you, and yet you’re causing trouble—what’s your motive? As for Sun Shou, he’ll come back naturally once he’s had time to reflect."

His wound was already aching, and now seeing them only made him feel even more irritable.

"Second Brother, you can’t be like this! We’re all thinking of what’s best for the Sun family. Don’t you know how unreasonable this girl is..."

"Unreasonable in what way?" Gu Qixiao entered and immediately noticed the crowd of people.

He could guess they were here to stir up trouble.

His gaze carried a hint of annoyance as he looked at them.

"The Sun family, out and about, still acting so brazenly even after all this time—do you really think your family is still what it used to be?"

Gu Qixiao’s attitude toward them was indifferent, yet he immediately placed Ji Yu behind him for protection, making it glaringly obvious whose side he was on.

"Who do you think you are? Are you this little whore’s lover? What gives you the right to talk about the Sun family?"

The woman kept chattering, but Sun Yongxin had already recognized Gu Qixiao.

"So it’s the young master of the Gu family." Sun Yongxin had a strong impression of Gu Qixiao.

He also knew the current status of the Gu family. Seeing that the others still hadn’t realized who they were dealing with, he felt disappointed.

"Mr. Sun has fallen so low, and yet he chooses not to rein in these so-called family members?" Gu Qixiao’s gaze at the group was full of disdain.

These people posed no real threat, but their behavior was undeniably irritating.

Unwilling to let Ji Yu stay around such people, he decisively called for the bodyguards to clear the room.

"If you dare lay a hand on me today, I’ll call the police!" The woman was unreasonable, sitting stubbornly on the ground as if unworried about the bodyguards.

The bodyguards, however, didn’t care whether she was sitting or standing—they directly grabbed her by the collar and dragged her out.

"It’s done," Gu Qixiao softly reassured Ji Yu, concerned that the encounter might have frightened her.

Ji Yu sighed, "I’m fine. It’s just that what they said was definitely unpleasant."

Even without Gu Qixiao, Ji Yu wouldn’t have let them off easily today.

Some things may seem like soft persimmons, but biting into them might leave your mouth filled with blood.

"Good to hear you’re okay." Gu Qixiao turned to look at Sun Yongxin.

From the moment Sun Yongxin saw Gu Qixiao, he knew there was no way this matter would be resolved easily.

"I didn’t expect Doctor Ji to be acquainted with President Gu, but I hope President Gu can be lenient in this matter. The Sun family these days..."

He’d rather not admit how dire the Sun family’s situation had become, but ignoring it wouldn’t change the facts.

"My leniency depends on them learning some manners. All the things they’ve done—has Mr. Sun truly not seen any of it?"

He couldn’t bear to see Ji Yu being treated unfairly.

After all, Ji Yu was only being targeted because she stepped up to protect someone. Yet now, the person she had protected was standing on the opposing side.

Ji Yu had also noticed the situation but didn’t know what to say at the moment.

"Honestly, it’s not a big deal for me. But, Mr. Sun, you should handle these people yourself moving forward. I’ll do my best to treat your injuries, but I won’t be involved with the rest of this anymore."

No point in arguing with someone’s relatives only to end up being the subject of their resentment.

Sun Yongxin opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but ultimately sighed in vain. "Forget it. Doctor Ji has already done enough. If there’s anything you need in the future, let me know—consider it me owing you a favor."

He knew Ji Yu had gone above and beyond and didn’t want to push it any further.

"Go ahead with your work. I have some things I’d like to discuss with Mr. Sun."

Even if Ji Yu chose to step aside from this matter, the grievances she’d suffered deserved reparations.

Ji Yu was concerned about what Gu Qixiao might do. "I’m not upset about this anymore. You really don’t need to..."

"I won’t do anything to him." Gu Qixiao wouldn’t make things difficult for Sun Yongxin, but he definitely wouldn’t let things slide either.

Seeing no alternative, Ji Yu returned to her office.

Gu Qixiao turned his full attention to Sun Yongxin without hesitation. "Mr. Sun, since you’ve severed ties with the Sun family, I suppose their survival or ruin shouldn’t matter to you anymore."

His first words were more a threat than anything else—completely different from how he behaved around Ji Yu.

Even Sun Yongxin was momentarily caught off guard. "President Gu, there’s been a misunderstanding. I ask that you refrain from rushing to such conclusions."

For someone of his age to have to plead with a younger person like this—it stung his pride.

Whenever he thought back to earlier incidents, his heart felt tight with discomfort.

"So, what you mean is that Yu’s grievances over the past days can just be ignored completely?"

Gu Qixiao found the notion absurd.

Judging by his expression, it was evident how angry this matter still made him.

"That’s not what I mean. I acknowledge Doctor Ji’s grievances, but there are alternative ways to make amends. For instance, I could offer one percent of my shares to Miss Sun—would that suffice?"

Such an amount would ensure lifelong financial security for one person and showed considerable sincerity.

"Alright."

Gu Qixiao’s goal was simply to secure justice for Ji Yu; the rest was of little importance to him.

When Gu Qixiao walked into Ji Yu’s office with the contract in hand, Ji Yu blinked in surprise.

"Did you force him to sign this?"

"Of course not. Pressuring someone to sign a contract makes it meaningless—this is merely compensation for you." He hadn’t done anything beyond what was necessary.

Though Sun Shou might suffer some consequences later, Ji Yu would receive the most perfect recompense from all of this.

For a moment, Ji Yu didn’t know how to respond. Perhaps it was the unexpected side of Gu Qixiao—this unfamiliar determination—that left her stunned.

"You seem completely different from before."

Her memories of Gu Qixiao included traces of silliness, but the present situation painted a wholly different picture.

Gu Qixiao chuckled. "I only act silly when it comes to you. In this matter, where you’ve clearly been treated unfairly, of course I’ll help you find fairness."

He wasn’t particularly passionate about most things, but when it concerned Ji Yu, he was meticulous to the point of obsession.

Ji Yu’s heart stirred slightly, though she didn’t show it outwardly. "Didn’t you say the Sun family has already fallen? What’s the point of accepting their shares?"

Wouldn’t those shares just become worthless in the future?

"Since you now have these shares, I’d never let Sun Corporation collapse. Their management isn’t great, but it simply means you’ll have to settle for slightly less profit."

He still thought Ji Yu was being shortchanged.

Seeing that Gu Qixiao had plans to extort even more benefits for her, Ji Yu hurriedly stopped him.

"Let’s leave it at this—it’s already enough."
