Chapter 496: Chapter 497: A Secret Conversation 2

If Gu Hai died and Gu Yixuan completely took control of the situation, his next step would definitely be to deal with her.

She could foresee the abject fate that the bastard would leave her in.

Gao Meiru’s eyes reddened with sorrow as she said, "Daddy, it’s not that I don’t trust you. You know, to him, I am the daughter of the woman he hated. Over the years, you’ve seen how he has treated me. My shares have been decreased time and time again, and now I can hardly stay in the Gu family anymore. If someday you can’t protect me, he will definitely target me without restraint."

What she said was true, and Gu Hai’s face turned slightly dark with concern as well.

Gao Meiru glanced at him and continued, "Daddy, your favorite grandson used to be Chengcheng. If Chengcheng were still alive, I wouldn’t have these worries. But then again, if Chengcheng were still alive, he would have taken over the company, and it wouldn’t have fallen into his hands! He acts cruelly and mercilessly, leaving no room for others. Look at how many long-time employees he’s driven out since he took over the company. He simply wants to swallow the company whole and erase your influence completely."

The reason she dared to speak so candidly in front of Gu Hai was that she knew that Gu Hai also disliked Gu Yixuan.

If there had been another bloodline left in the Gu family besides Gu Yixuan, Gu Hai wouldn’t have blinked an eye even if Gu Yixuan died.

When Gu Hai heard Chengcheng mentioned, his expression grew even grimmer, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

The death of Gu Yicheng was Gu Yixuan’s doing. Aside from him, no one knew this.

When he first received the news of Gu Yicheng’s death, he suspected that things were not so simple. After sending people to investigate in the United States, he found out that Gu Yicheng’s drug addiction was the result of Gu Yixuan’s covert actions.

After learning the truth, he was furious and even considered avenging Chengcheng by killing Gu Yixuan.

But if Gu Yixuan died, who would take over the Gu Family? He was old, and his son was gone, as well as his most beloved grandson.

Another grandson, illegitimately born but still carrying the Gu family blood, could not be overlooked. No matter how much he hated him, how much he disliked him, he couldn’t destroy the Gu Family, nor could he let it fall into the hands of others.

Therefore, he kept the truth hidden, not letting anyone else know.

But every time he thought of how Gu Yixuan had killed Chengcheng, he still felt deep hatred. If he had another heir, he truly wished he could kill Gu Yixuan
