Chapter 406: It Has Nothing to Do With You
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In just two days, the Zhao family in the capital underwent a drastic change. It started with all collaborations being suspended by the Gu Group, and despite spending money to inquire, the Zhao family’s well-connected managers only mentioned that the company had made other arrangements.
Gu Corporation’s move practically sentenced the Zhao family to death, with other collaborating companies swiftly withdrawing from partnerships. Though Gu Chen didn’t say anything explicitly, the significant action by the Gu
Corporation was aimed at the Zhao family, and no one wanted to be implicated.
The Zhao family found themselves surrounded by enemies, with internal conflicts emerging within the company in such a short time. Some business deals were snatched by competitors, and Zhao’s family members were clueless about what was happening, except for Zhao Li.
In a state of panic, Zhao Li secretly tried to contact Xu Wen several times, but there was no response. This made her thoroughly uneasy.
Seizing the opportunity while her family members were occupied, she went to the hospital to find Xu Wen. By then, Xu Wen had already undergone the first skin graft surgery, and though she was still wrapped in bandages, her condition had improved.
“Xu Wen, we’re best friends. You must help me. It must be because Gu Chen found out it was me!” Zhao Li’s words were somewhat incoherent, and she was genuinely frightened. She had heard about Gu Chen’s methods before, but facing the consequences of her actions was beyond what she had ever imagined. Previously, no matter how she entangled herself with Gu Chen, he would, at most, ignore her. She never thought her actions would drag her entire family down.
Xu Wen, holding a mirror and examining herself post-surgery, nonchalantly responded, “No, you haven’t been discovered by him, and the scandalous act wasn’t committed by you. Maybe the Zhao family offended someone else.”
“No, it’s not true!” Zhao Li felt like she was losing her mind. She had heard about Gu Chen’s methods before; being able to control people in the Gu family since the age of thirteen, he was the person she had always admired. She even believed that only a man like him could be worthy of her.
However, now that she was targeted by the Gu Corporation, she realized how terrifying it could be when someone like Gu Chen had their sights set on her. In just two days, the Zhao family’s financial lifeline had almost been severed. Her parents were dealing with severe headaches at home, and her grandfather was admitted to the hospital due to anger. At this critical moment, she needed to find someone to help her.
“Xu Wen, Gu Chen must have found out about me. It must be like that.” She anxiously looked at Xu Wen, as if she were clutching at the last straw for survival. “You said he was just playing around with Song Fan, right? Nothing happened to her. Why would he target me like this? No, something’s wrong. This is different from what you told me. Xu Wen, you must help me. You have to help me!”
Zhao Li tightly held onto Xu Wen’s arm, leaving fresh red marks on it. “Help you?” Xu Wen sneered and forcefully pulled her arm away. “What status do you have to demand that I help you?”
“It was you who instigated me! You said Song Fan was nothing to Gu Chen! It’s you! It’s all because of you!” Zhao Li, now disregarding many things, only knew that if there was anyone who could handle Gu Chen, apart from the Xu family, she couldn’t think of anyone else.
“You told me those words in the ward. I recorded everything! If you don’t help me, I’ll make our conversations public. Even if we perish together, I’ll drag you down with me!”
“Just with those few words?” Xu Wen said dismissively. “As an injured patient undergoing skin graft surgery multiple times, expressing some discomfort in my heart doesn’t mean anything. Is that supposed to be substantial evidence?”
Zhao Li didn’t expect Xu Wen to be so unreasonable at this moment, and she became somewhat impulsive.
Taking out her phone, she intended to call the entertainment gossip company that had spread the news previously. She sinisterly said to Xu Wen, “Don’t think Gu Chen will spare you. The love he has for Song Fan is something you’ll never achieve in your lifetime! I’ll expose the instigation you did to me. Even if it leads to a complete breakdown, I’ll die dragging you as the scapegoat!”
Xu Wen narrowed her eyes, rolled her eyes, and then softened her tone. “Zhao
Li, we’re supposed to be friends. I’ve always said I’m optimistic about you and Gu Chen. A couple of friendly words between friends, and you’re ready to drag me down. Aren’t you planning to deal with the real culprit, Song Fan?”
Upon hearing there might be a way to deal with Song Fan, Zhao Li immediately put down her phone. “What solution do you have? If something happens to Song Fan, Gu Chen won’t let me go!”
“If he’s targeting you because of Song Fan, then if something happens to Song Fan, Gu Chen won’t have time to focus on you, right?”
“No.” Zhao Li forcefully pulled her hand back, shaking her head continuously. “No, Song Fan hasn’t been harmed yet. He’s already treating the Zhao family like this. If something happens to her, Gu Chen will kill me!”
“But this matter has nothing to do with you.” Xu Wen’s voice carried a tempting tone..
