Chapter 669: We Will Be Having a Diplomatic Marriage (1)
“Do speak.”
Xu Weilai opened her mouth and enunciated each word, “If the Zuo Corporation intends to annex the Gu Corporation, then what Zuo Si has been doing is against the plan of the Zuo Corporation. Why would she want to abandon her family’s interests and cooperate with Gu Yu?”
“It doesn’t matter whether she went to Gu Yu when they were abroad or the fact that she is helping Gu Yu now, neither of the actions are beneficial to the Zuo Corporation. Isn’t her action is like to hoist herself with her own petard?”
It was undeniable that Xu Weilai was right. Even Assistant Lin was puzzled, let alone Xu Weilai. He shook his head, “I seriously have no idea. I’ve mentioned earlier, I don’t know anything about the agreement CEO Gu had with Miss Zuo. If you want to know, you’ll have to ask...”
Before he could finish, the office door opened, followed by the click-clacking of high-heels. Zuo Si, clad in her professional black suit, walked in.
Zuo Si casually threw the key she had in her hand on the cabinet beside her. Her dark eyes fell on Xu Weilai’s face, her lips curled into a faint smile, “You’ve indeed come here.”
As expected.
Xu Weilai raised her eyes to meet hers. “Gu Yu sent you here?”
He even gave her the key to the office so that she could come and go as she pleased?
Zuo Si didn’t answer. Instead, she looked at Assistant Lin and instructed, “Go out and make two cups of coffee for us. I’ll fill her in on things that you don’t know.”
Assistant Lin was caught in surprise. How did she know about the conversation he was having with Xu Weilai just now? Was she eave-dropping outside the office door?
As if she could read his mind, Zuo Si sneered disdainfully. “Miss Xu couldn’t get CEO Gu to speak, so she came directly to his office and attempted to break open his safe box. Isn’t it obvious what she wants to know?”
Xu Weilai lowered her eyes slightly and then said to Assistant Lin, “You can go. Let me talk to her.”
Habitually, Assistant Lin followed Xu Weilai’s instruction. He nodded and got up, and even took care to close the door behind him as he let himself out of the room.
Zuo Si stepped forward and sat facing Xu Weilai on the sofa.
Zuo Si had always carried a strong aura with her. She had the air of superiority, especially when she gazed at others condescendingly, which further enhanced her grandeur.
Xu Weilai too did not show any signs of inferiority. She sat there nonchalantly, with an air of indifference in both her gaze and expression.
They sat facing each other in silence. Zuo Si was the first to break the silence. She chuckled, with a hint of appreciation in her tone, “Xu Weilai, I’ve always liked you. It’s just a pity that we’re destined to never be friends.”
Xu Weilai raised her eyelids.
“You’ve always wanted to know why CEO Gu wants to divorce you and why am I helping him, isn’t it? CEO Gu is not willing to hurt you with the truth for the sake of the affection he had for you in the past. It’s okay. I’ll be the villain and tell you what he can’t.”
Zuo Si leaned lazily on the sofa with her hand folded elegantly, her gaze cold and her lip curled. “CEO Gu will never allow the Gu Corporation to fall into the hand of an outsider. Moreover, what happened to Mr. Gu. Sr. wasn’t as simple as it seems. What he wants to do now is much more important than romance. As for me, what I want is simple too. I will destroy everything that Zuo An wants. He will get neither the Gu Corporation nor the Zuo Corporation.”
“So, my goal is the same as Gu Yu. We will be having a diplomatic marriage.”
