Black Lotus

An awkward expression appeared on Shen Luoan’s face as he hesitated to speak.

“Yansheng, I don’t know if I should tell you this or not. I wanted to keep this a secret from you because I was afraid that you’ll start overthinking things, but seeing Tang Shuo and Niannan together and also you being beaten up like this, I’m really worried for you.”

Gu Yansheng was startled and asked quietly, “What is it? Go ahead, it’s okay.”

“When my uncle went to the company, he saw Tang Shuo’s brother, Tang Lunxuan, walking out of the president’s office. My uncle asked Secretary Li and heard that it was the old lady behind this, and that… that the Gu Family Corporation will be sponsoring and working with Qiyue Group.”

“What did you say?” Gu Yansheng’s face suddenly changed and immediately stood up.

Why did my mom choose to work with Tang Lunxuan? She hates the Tang Family so much. Suddenly, Gu Yansheng thought of something and his eyes darkened.

“No wonder she stopped letting me return to the company, no wonder she came back from Nation F to let Yuanfeng take over, so everything about staying with Wen Niannan until he feels better is fake.”

“Why would the old lady want to work with the Qiyue group? Shouldn’t she know the relationship between you and Tang Shuo?” Shen Luoan continued.

“Because only the Qiyue Group is the least likely to be under my control. She wants to control me, she wants to use Qiyue to control me.”

Shen Luoan’s eyes flashed and said, “Could Aunt Gu have thought about this from the beginning? I remember… I remember that year when Niannan forced me to leave, he had people from the old house supporting him. I heard them say that I couldn’t get the shares that Grandpa left for the future spouse…”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yansheng was shocked. At that time, after Shen Luoan’s sudden disappearance, he found no trace of him no matter how hard he looked. How could Wen Niannan do all this alone? It turned out that it was his mother behind this… she has been planning for this scheme since then.

“She want me to be completely in control, and she has valued the company and rights more than anything else. After the marriage, she transferred part of the shares to Wen Niannan.”

Gu Yansheng seemed to have suddenly understood something. His eyes were full of an inexplicable expression.

“No wonder she will allow me to get married to Wen Niannan. If it was you, then those shares would be no different than landing in my hands again. Because we are united as one, you would of course return your shares back to me.”

“She knows how much I hate Wen Niannan and that I wouldn’t be able to get anything from him. So the reason she never allowed me to divorce was that she still wants to use Wen Niannan to control me.

“But why would Aunt Gu want to do that? Doesn’t she only have you as her only son? Why doesn’t she just hand everything over to you? Could it be that she wanted to give them to Zhou Yuanfeng?”

Gu Yansheng looked at Shen Luoan, then raised his head and started to laugh at himself, “Compared to her annoying son, she admires Yuanfeng way more, a person who is perfect in every field.”

A touch of evil flashed in Shen Luoan’s eyes. He stepped forward and comforted him, “Then what do we do now? Would Aunt agree to your divorce?”

“Divorce?” Gu Yansheng was a bit stunned after hearing this word. 

“Niannan and Aunt both refused the divorce. But one wants to strip away your rights and the other is dating another man behind your back. Yansheng, I really feel sad for you…”

Gu Yansheng looked at the person whose eyes were red. His tone softened, “I won’t let my mom succeed. Grandpa wouldn’t allow her to control the Gu Family either.”

“As long as we can get the evidence of infidelity, we can surely bring the divorce back up and take the company shares back from him. As long as there’s evidence, everything will be easy.”

Gu Yansheng asked in surprise, “Evidence?”

“Yes, maybe I can find a private detective to follow him. As long as you get evidence, you could bring the photo to file a divorce lawsuit. Aunt Gu couldn’t stop this even if she wanted to. Then, you can both get your divorce and take your shares of the company back.”

Gu Yansheng listened and was shocked. He suddenly felt that the person in front was a little unfamiliar.

Seeing Gu Yansheng looking at him in shock, Shen Luoan realized that he had said too much.

He raised his eyes and said with shame, “Yansheng, do you think that I’m a terrible person? Who would want you to divorce? But I really love you, I don’t want to see you being pressured, I don’t want to see you aggrieved.”

Looking at the pair of red eyes, Gu Yansheng suddenly felt angry at himself for doubting Shen Luoan.

“I know you’re doing this for my good. The only person I can trust is you, Luoan. I’ll find someone to follow Wen Niannan, and as soon as I get the evidence, I’ll start the lawsuit.”

Shen Luoan let out a sigh of relief in his head and excitedly threw himself into Gu Yansheng’s arms.

“Thank you Gu Yansheng.”

Gu Yansheng hugged Shen Luoan tightly. His eyes flickered for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.
