Meanwhile at Gu Juexi’s apartment, Gu Juexi had finished his breakfast and thrown all the boxes from the delivery into the dustbin while he waited for the housekeeper to clean it up. He sat on the sofa and began watching the news.

Social media was flooded with news about what had happened at Qian Feng Hotel, overshadowing the gossip about Ye Yuwei and Qian Yikun dining together.

Gu Juexi curled his lip as he watched the news. Having its bad reputation being aired like this, the opening of the resort would definitely be delayed.

Ye Yuwei was leaning against the back of the sofa and squinted at the news which was reporting the same thing on a few different channels. “What grudge do you have against the resort? Why did you try so hard to postpone the opening?”

“A huge grudge, of course,” Gu Juexi sneered.

The name of the resort was “Xi Wei Resort”.

Did Qian Yikun think that he, Gu Juexi, was stupid? Qian Yikun named his resort after the name of his wife and children. Was he non-existent to him?

He never really liked that man.

Ye Yuwei didn’t think much about the reason Gu Juexi held a grudge against the resort, and thought that it was just him being unreasonable again.

“We have sent out all the invitations and made all the necessary publicity. You would be the only shareholder losing money from the delay,” Ye Yuwei reminded him, recalling that Gu Juexi held 30% majority shares in the resort.

“I can afford that,” said Gu Juexi coldly.

Ye Yuwei was speechless at Gu Juexi’s reaction. Maybe she shouldn’t have bothered.

“Are you taking his side, Ye Yuwei?” Gu Juexi put down the remote control and asked jealously, looking at Ye Yuwei.

Ye Yuwei opened her mouth and wanted to defend herself but gave up eventually. Gu Juexi was acting like a jealous baby now—so childish and needy at the same time.

“I will double check the resort’s accounts.” Ye Yuwei thought that it was the only thing she could do. After all, Qian Yikun would just be another Cheng Jie if he really was the successor of the Bai family.

Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei going to the study and was going to say something before his phone rang and interrupted his thoughts. He put down the remote control and picked up his phone.

“Hello?”

“Are you happy now, Mr. Gu?” The person on the other line asked monotonously. Gu Juexi couldn’t tell if the caller was angry or couldn’t be bothered.

Gu Juexi leaned back against the sofa and continued watching the news. It was live streaming the press conference that Qian Feng Hotel held, and Qian Yikun was not at the scene.

Gu Juexi lowered his eyes and picked up the remote control, but only to fidget with it as he did not change the channel.

“What does Mr. Qian mean?” Gu Juexi asked innocently.

“I admit that the hotel’s security system was flawed, but was there the need to make the whole world know about it?” Qian Yikun began to sound angry as he said, “why can’t Mr. Gu let it go this once for the sake of money?”

“And use the money so my wife can watch a real-life horror movie? Is that what you are suggesting, Mr. Qian?” Gu Juexi dropped his act and pointed out what he was not happy about. “Money was never a concern for me. You shouldn’t blame me for things that you didn’t take care of.”

“I won’t be the only one affected if the opening of the resort is delayed, Mr. Gu,” Qian Yikun reminded him.

“Then I am willing to spend the money to buy my wife justice. Also, rather than spending time here trying to convince me, shouldn’t Mr. Qian be investigating the incident and finding the culprit? Or was the opening of the resort actually more than just the matter of money?” Gu Juexi asked emotionlessly, and the other end of the line went silent.
