Spending the Villain's Money to Extend My Life

Chapter 139 – Woman, Be Ready for The Consequences If This Doesn’t Taste Good (4)

Seeing her reaction, Li Chengzheng was certain now that she had something to do with it. He was furious!

“That’s what I want to ask you!”

“Just yesterday, our contract was up with our biggest business partner and they told us they didn’t want to renew it with us! They wanted to take bids on it again! And they also sent over this bottle of wine and said to ask you about it!”

Li Yiru almost lost her composure. “How is that possible, Dad? I thought our biggest business partner is HB. Isn’t that a foreign company? What does that have to do with Gu Shishi?!”

When they heard her crying out like that, the looks of everyone in the living room darkened.

Grandpa Li frowned and said, “The kid from the Gu’s? Xiao Ru, what did you do to her?”

“I... I accidentally poured some... some wine on her...” Li Yiru gritted her teeth. “And we might have gotten into a spat. But she’s just a peasant girl brought back by the Gu’s. It’s not possible that she has anything to do with that foreign company. She wasn’t even respected at the Gu’s! Grandpa, I think there’s some sort of a misunderstanding here! What happened to our company has nothing to do with this...”

Li Chengzheng lost it right away. “You shut your mouth! What peasant girl? She is the Gu’s long-lost daughter. And why were you antagonizing her for no reason anyway?”

In the adult world, especially those who were used to the slyness of the business world, an additional friend means one less enemy.

They didn’t think the same way as young people and put more value on family backgrounds, espeically when Gu Shishi has to do with the Gu’s.

There was no reason to offend her.

“She’s from the Gu’s. That doesn’t sound like she has anything to do with HB?”

The oldest Brother Li also frowned.

But Grandpa Li waved his hand. “Whether it has to do with it or not, Xiao Ru, you go and apologize to her first thing tomorrow morning and bring a gift with you. Chengzheng, you go with her and ask for Miss Gu’s forgiveness in person. Make sure you put a lot of thoughts into the gift and find something a young girl would like. Let’s not be rude again.”

“Grandpa!”

Li Yiru still wanted to put up a fight!

Li Chengzheng had already nodded in agreement. “Okay, Dad. I will prepare with Xiao Ru’s mom. You are right. Whether this incident has anything to do with it or not, we should go and apologize to her.”

“Mmm.” Grandpa Li lowered his eyes. “Xiao Ru, remember what grandpa is going to tell you right now. You would rather offend a boy than a girl.”

Li Yiru looked up.

Grandpa Li stood up slowly with the help of his cane. “You never know how many suitors there are behind a pretty girl who are willing to fight for her.”

Li Yiru was stunned. She immediately thought of Gu Shishi’s perfect and delicate little face and how stunning she looked that day in her bright color gown. And she was startled.

Someone high up in HB was fond of Gu Shishi?!

The boss of HB had to be on the top 10 most wealthy people list!

No way! No way she was that lucky!

Then perhaps it was the person responsible for the Asian region?

Li Yiru bit down so hard on her lip that she almost broke her skin.
