Now, even the braindead fans of Gu Qing couldn’t say a word.

Because Gu Qing could be dissatisfied with Gu Cheng, she could choose Yan Yishen, but she was not qualified to smear Father Gu.

“When my father passed away, he divided his estate into three parts. One part was for charity, and the remaining two parts were to be divided equally between me and Gu Qing. In the past ten years, Gu Qing has not returned to the Gu home, nor has she answered the calls of numerous lawyers. I’ve left her share of the inheritance untouched, but Gu Qing, are you still brave enough to come and claim your share now?”

The cold and harsh words of the young man made Gu Qing’s heart shrivel up.

During this press conference, the one most impacted was not Gu Qing’s fans nor the journalists present, but rather Gu Qing herself.

She was frantically pawing at the screen, wanting to get a closer look at the photos. Did Father Gu really move Gu Cheng out of the household registry, all because of her request?

And Father Gu left her with inheritance without any demands? Without forcing her to marry1 Gu Cheng?

Gu Qing’s mind was blank as she sat there, unable to understand why things had turned out this way, completely different from what she had expected.

But slowly, the kind and smiling face of a middle-aged man began to appear in her mind, causing her to cover her face and cry bitterly.

What had she…… missed out on?

The press conference of the Gu company completely cleared the name of both Father Gu and the Gu family, making it clear to the world that they did not owe Gu Qing anything and that the Gu family had no guilty conscience.

Meanwhile, Yan Yishen, who was watching the Gu family use this press conference as an opportunity to boost their reputation, was so angry that he smashed a glass.

This was not because of Gu Qing’s matter, but because Gu Cheng was gaining more and more prestige. Yan Yishen did not want to see this happen at all, as it made him feel like he would never have a chance. After all, he even dreamt of standing tall in front of Gu Cheng, waiting for him to beg at his feet.

His secretary walked in and Yan Yishen glanced at him, then ordered him: “Cover up the discussion about the Gu family’s press conference, any news will do. If it could cause trouble for the Gu family, that would be even better.”

Nevertheless, upon hearing his command this time, the secretary stood there timidly without a word: “President……”

“What? Go take care of your task!”

As soon as Yan Yishen finished speaking, two police officers walked in while showing their police badges, sternly declaring: “Mr Yan Yishen, you are suspected of tax evasion and illegal transactions with Mr. Yan Zhengxing. The value involved is sufficient to press criminal charges. In addition, someone has reported that you illegally tampered with someone else’s will for your own benefit. Please come with us.”

Hearing the police’s words, Yan Yishen’s hands began to tremble. Someone was trying to mess with him, and the Yan family! Who could it be?

After being led out of the office, he saw that sloppy good-for-nothing Yan Linhao in a suit, leaning against the wall at the end of the corridor. Suddenly, everything became clear to Yan Yishen!

This rascal acted like a white-eyed wolf and silver spooner, but who would have thought that he had a clear grasp on their weaknesses in secret?

“F***! Did Gu Cheng tell you to do this? Did he?!” Yan Yishen roared at Yan Linhao in anger, wanting to pounce on him, but was held back by the police.

At this moment, the police officer received another call and after hanging up, their gaze towards Yan Yishen changed for the worse. He said, “Sir, the police station has received information once more that you are involved in the child kidnapping case from ten years ago.”

Upon hearing the police’s words, Yan Yishen looked at Yan Linhao in disbelief, but it was clear that he was completely defeated.

Yan Linhao also heard what the police officer said, and after being stunned for a moment, he called out very gently, “Gege.”

Then, he looked towards Yan Yishen with a malicious smile and mouthed: “Gu Cheng is mine, you can’t snatch him away!”

Yan Yishen could make out what Yan Linhao mouthed and instantly felt like he had been struck by lightning. It was Gu Cheng and Yan Linhao working together to scheme against him? Yan Linhao took over the Yan family for Gu Cheng, and in turn, to avenge Yan Linhao and secure Yan Linhao’s position, Gu Cheng revealed the truth behind the kidnapping case from all those years ago.

These two……actually-actually had this kind of relationship!But no matter how resentful Yan Yishen was, it was all for nothing. He and Yan Zhengxing were both destined to spend the rest of their lives in prison.

There was upheaval in the upper echelons of the capital’s society, as the Yan family had once again changed its patriarch. Yan Linhao, the heir who was kidnapped ten years ago, had surprisingly returned with a bang. He then swiftly grabbed the dirt on his uncle and cousin, and sent them both to prison.

But Yan Linhao was too young, and everyone doubted that this young patriarch could stand firm in the midst of the fierce and competitive clan. However, Yan Linhao managed to do just that. Using the will of the old Yan patriarch, he regained most of the shares, gaining the absolute right to speak in the company.

If the tactics of Gu Cheng from the Gu family was considered ruthless, then the new Yan patriarch of the Yan family would be called cutthroat. Very soon, the entire Yan family was straightened out and under his control.

The issues between the Gu and Yan families quickly came to a close. Gu Qing, the film empress who was once a superstar in the entertainment circle, retired from the circle and disappeared without a trace soon after the press conference at the Gu family’s event.

In the end, Gu Qing did take her share of the inheritance, but like Father Gu, she donated it to a charity organisation.

She gave up all of the desires in her heart and any pursuit of wealth and luxury, settling in a tiny orphanage where she gave simple preschool education to the orphans.

Gu Qing could never understand Father Gu’s way of thinking. But that was not important, she could follow him in his footsteps, step by step.

Many years later, at a well-known financial conference, the presidents of the high-profile Gu and Yan families gathered together, attracting everyone’s attention.

The gossip surrounding these two families was interesting. While the Yan and Gu families have always been opposing forces in the business world, it was rumoured that the current Yan family patriarch grew up with Gu Cheng from the Gu family.

It’s a shame that there were no blood ties binding them together. Once he raised the child, the child could leave without hesitation, and even come back to snatch business from you. Everyone felt it was not worth it for Gu Cheng.

As soon as the two presidents met, everyone around them felt that the tension in the air was palpable, and there seemed to be sparks flying between them as they locked eyes.

Those who knew President Yan’s temper well noticed that he seemed off from the moment Gu Cheng appeared. The moody President Yan who usually had an indifferent attitude towards everything had his extremely intimidating gaze that locked onto President Gu, and even the words he spoke carried a hint of oddity.

“President Gu, long time no see, ” Yan Linhao approached Qing Yun and clinked his glass against his, then tilted his head back and downed the contents of the glass.

He said the four words ‘long time no see’ with a lot of bite, almost as if he was gnashing his teeth. Even when he drank up the wine, his dark pupils were still locked onto Qing Yun, his eyes roaming up and down his entire length to check him out.

Qing Yun looked at this brat’s appearance and smiled lightly without speaking.

Yan Linhao had been crazily busy these past few days and hasn’t returned to the Gu home for almost a week. He’s probably been holding it in painfully.

Before Qing Yun could finish making fun of him in his heart, Yan Linhao had already seized the opportunity and pulled him into a bathroom stall, pressing him against the wall and kissing him passionately.

“Ge, ge! You look so good in this suit, it’s so good that I can’t even hold myself back!”

“Ge, I’ve been enduring so painfully……”

In the eyes of outsiders, the President Yan who was indifferent, domineering and ruthless, was now stuck to Qing Yun’s body like a piece of dog-skin plaster that he couldn’t tear off no matter what.

“You better know your limits,” Qing Yun pushed away his hairy head. Making him, someone who has mysophobia, do it here? That was impossible!

Yan Linhao also knew it was wishful thinking of his, so he could only pitifully move his face closer to demand for a kiss: “Then give me a kiss, gege!”

“Scram.” Qing Yun pushed aside his face with one hand, and thought to himself that this kid was getting more and more childish as he grew up. How come he didn’t realise before that he likes to act coquettishly so much?

Yan Linhao was even more unwilling now, and started nibbling on Qing Yun after pressing him onto himself. While nibbling, he still said aggrievedly: “Ge, you don’t love me anymore. You don’t even feel pained for me, what if I end up broken from enduring too much?!”

“I don’t want to manage the Yan family. Ge, when are you going to take over the Yan family?”Qing Yun rubbed at his temples, was this what a president should be saying?

“If I take over the Yan family, are you going to just eat air for the rest of your life?”

“I’m not afraid, ge can take care2 of me.” Yan Linhao continued to act shamelessly, “Ge, take care of me, will you?”

“You better be more promising!3”

“I don’t wanna, I’ll be promising on the bed instead……”

In any case, no one knew what the dispute between the Yan family and the Gu family was like.

After a hundred years, two figures gradually appeared in the void.

Qing Yun shot a cold glance at Ming Yan.

A certain man immediately shivered, and shuffled over to stick to Qing Yun’s side: “Baobei, I was wrong……”

Qing Yun kicked aside the man and continued to find worlds that had problems in the space.

Ming Yan unconsciously made a gloomy face, then an idea flashed in this man’s mind. He immediately happily chased after Qing Yun, and called in his ear: “Gege……”

This time Ming Yan’s reply from Qing Yun was a solid slap.

The man covered his cheek and still brazenly scooted closer to him: “Don’t be angry, baobei. I thought of a good solution. Why don’t we transmigrate again, but I’ll take care of you this time, how about that?”

“How about that? Alright?……”Yay I’m done with this novel!!!! *cue fireworks* this chapter was 25 pages of raws orz. halfway through this arc I had regrets on how I translated Father Gu as it is… he’s not a pastor kfdjhglkf
