Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 457 - Chapter 457 Chapter 455 Yaoyao become Mrs. Gu again hmm

Chapter 457: Chapter 455: Yaoyao, become Mrs. Gu again, hmm? Chapter 457: Chapter 455: Yaoyao, become Mrs. Gu again, hmm? Mu Chengjin coughed and explained, “I think I took a liking to you the first time you gave me that medicine pill.”

Ming Yao touched her forehead, “Your taste is really unique.”

“It’s your charismatic personality. Ask Fourth Brother, back when you were Gu Fuzhen, did he not feel something for you?”

Ming Yao looked towards the man driving and lightly poked his arm, “What about it, Fourth Master Gu?”

Gu Siting’s lips were tightly pressed, his demeanor haughty, and his voice cold, “No.”

Mu Chengjin smiled faintly, “Don’t believe him. When he thought Jing Hang was your boyfriend, he dragged me out to drink till midnight, and when he was tipsy, he even called your name.”

Gu Siting’s facial contours tensed, “Mu Chengjin, you’re being unusually talkative today!”

“Seeing the person you like and even speaking out what’s in your heart, it’s a bit exciting.”

Ming Yao waved her hand, “Young Master Mu, Gu Fuzhen doesn’t really exist. I hope you can forget her soon. Once I’ve healed your leg, you can go out and flirt all you want.”

Mu Chengjin looked at his own leg, “Can I really stand up again?”

“Yes, I’ve had Jing Hang buy new materials. Once we get them, I’ll operate on you!”

Mu Chengjin nodded, “Alright, thank you. But now I have one more request.”

“What is it? Just tell me.”

“Can I have a meal cooked by you?”

“Of course, you can.”

While the atmosphere around Ming Yao was quite pleasant, the ambiance in the banquet hall was oppressively bleak.

The wedding hadn’t gone smoothly, and Yin Zhe had rushed off to deal with the chip issue.

Nangong Xuan was sitting on the ground, facing everyone’s pointing fingers. Her face pale and tears streaming down her cheeks.

It wasn’t just Nangong Xuan, Old Master Nangong was also incredibly anxious and flustered.

If the Yin family’s chip indeed had issues, they could go bankrupt.

Would the Crown Prince still protect the Yin family then?

Most likely, to save himself, he would just cut out Yin Zhe from his circle!

For three consecutive days, the headlines were all about the Yin family’s chip malfunction.

The Yin family faced a massive compensation, and their stocks kept falling.

Yin Zhe was beaten black and blue by Old Master Yin, he went to seek Gong Yu, but Gong Yu wouldn’t take his calls.

This time, with the chip issue, Gong Yu also provided supplies to several prominent families that supported him.

Those families also suffered severe losses. Now that the Yin family had no money for compensation, Gong Yu had to pay out of his own pocket.

When Mr. President became aware of the situation, he summoned Gong Yu to his office and slapped him hard.

He also warned him that if he couldn’t handle the situation properly, he should leave the Gong family!

The President had always been strict in educating Gong Yu, hoping he would succeed him as the next President.

But Gong Yu’s blunder could potentially tarnish his image and diminish his credibility.

Gong Yu returned to his own office, and in a fit of rage, he swept everything off his desk onto the floor.

It turned out that the CEO of ST Group was Gu Siting!

With the Yin family’s troubles and ST’s latest chip hitting the market, this must all have been part of Gu Siting’s plan!

Gong Yu had never been played like this before, and this time, it was not just the Yin family facing bankruptcy, but he also suffered a heavy loss!

“Gu Siting, Mu Chengjin!”

Good, what a pair of good brothers indeed!

Gong Yu took out his phone and made a call.

“Find a way to get me ten billion.”

The person on the other end of the phone hesitated, “Ten billion is not a small sum…”

“I don’t care how you do it, just get the money I need as soon as possible!”

“Alright, I’ll find a way. Ah Yu, I’ve seen the news recently. Could this affect your image in Mr. President’s eyes?”

“He’s my old man, no matter how bad I am, I’m still his only son!”

“True, I was overthinking it.”

Gong Yu’s face darkened, “There’s another thing, help me with it!”

“You say.”

“The old woman whom Gu Siting fears the most has woken up, right? Let her find him!”

“Even though she’s awake, her condition isn’t very good, and she might not live much longer.”

“Then let her death be valuable!”

…

Once again, turmoil struck the business world, and Gu Siting was very busy every day.

Ming Yao followed him to the ST Group’s branch in the capital.

She sat on the sofa, watching the stock curves on several LCD screens on the wall fluctuate continuously.

Yin Corporation had declared bankruptcy. This time, the fallout wasn’t limited to Yin Corporation; both the Nangong Family and Gu Corporation were affected.

Aside from the chip incident, Gu Corporation’s problems were partly due to Song Yuzhi selling her 20% share and embezzling some company funds.

This angered Gu Yanyu immensely.

Taking advantage of the stock market fluctuations, Gu Siting began acquiring shares of Gu Corporation using countless accounts.

Ming Yao rose from the sofa, bracing her hands on Gu Siting’s desk, and half-squinted at him, “Song Yuzhi was quite fond of Gu Yanyu, wasn’t she? How could she do such a thing?”

It was said that Song Yuzhi had given all ten billion to another man.

The ones in dire need of such a large sum to cover the shortfall were none other than Yin Zhe and Gong Yu.

Yin Zhe had become a drowned dog, and Song Yuzhi would not likely help him.

So, Song Yuzhi must have helped Gong Yu.

Gu Siting’s face tightened slightly, “That’s indeed strange.”

He had a feeling that there was a secret behind this, but he wasn’t clear on the specifics yet. He had already sent people to investigate.

Working for long hours had taken its toll on him, and he lifted his long fingers to massage his brow.

Ming Yao walked behind him, her slender fingers pressing on his head, “Let me do it for you.”

Her fingertips were cool, providing just the right amount of pressure at his temples.

Very comfortable.

Gu Siting tilted his head back slightly to look at the woman standing behind him.

Ming Yao was looking down at him, their gazes interlocking.

“Yaoyao, come here, I have something to tell you.”

Ming Yao leaned her face closer to him, “What is it?”

His hands cupped her face, pressing a kiss onto her lips.

Ming Yao felt her heart skip, and she quickly stepped back, “Stop it, this is your office. Someone could come in at any moment.”

Gu Siting grasped Ming Yao’s hand, pulling her directly into his embrace.

Ming Yao’s hands rested on the man’s chest, feeling his heart beating through the thin layer of his shirt–strong, powerful thumps that made the palm of her hands tingle.

Gu Siting grasped Ming Yao’s hand and slid a pink diamond on her finger.

Ming Yao curled her fingers slightly, but he held them firmly, and she didn’t pull away.

Or perhaps she didn’t really want to pull away.

What he placed on her finger was that Pink Star.

“Yaoyao, will you be Mrs. Gu again?”

The man took her hand, now adorned with the Pink Star, and pressed it against his left chest.

Feeling the vigorous pounding of his heart, Ming Yao’s eyes reddened, “This time, you have to take better care of your heart. If something goes wrong again, even The Immortal won’t be able to save you.”

A smile appeared on Gu Siting’s handsome face.

“Why are you laughing? I’m being serious,” she said.

The man hummed softly, his long finger brushed her hair to the side of her cheek and his voice was low and magnetic as he spoke into her ear, “My heart can now withstand zero distance from you.”

Ming Yao froze for a moment, then blushed red as she realized what he meant.
