Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 1086: With You Always (231)

"Are you not angry, Mom? Yu Bei left all his assets to Gu Lili alone..."

"The reason he did so was out of trust." Old Madam Long understood Long Yubei’s considerations. "Even though he’s sentimental, he wouldn’t act entirely based on emotion without thought. How much trust must he have in Lili to dare to write this will? Besides, I also trust Lili. She has money she can’t spend, and she possesses such great mana; would she still care? I think you’re just full and thinking too much. Compare yourself with Long Qian, and you really stand in stark contrast. It’s embarrassing."

Dragon Mother held a belly full of anger. "From the time she married Yu Bei, you constantly sided with her. I think you’re really getting senile."

"I don’t think Grandma is senile at all!" Long Fengxi looked at Dragon Mother. "Everything my grandma says is reasonable. How could she be senile? Is it not you who’s being silly? Mom, enough already. Do you find this amusing?"

Dragon Mother nearly went crazy thinking of the assets left solely to Gu Lili. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Back then, I should have strongly opposed Gu Lili marrying into the Long Family. If it weren’t for her, Yu Bei might still be fine, and there wouldn’t suddenly be another biological mother appearing."

"You’re just deceiving yourself. Lili and Beibei have always known each other; could you have stopped them? Moreover, when Beibei dies in the mortal world, he still needs to return, and his mother is always there." Old Madam Long was visibly impatient. "From now on, you two should stay at the old mansion and not go anywhere."

Gu Lili’s face was no longer swollen. She placed the eggs on the table and asked Gu Xichen, "Are you going to the company today? If so, I’ll go with you."

"I need to go for a bit. I have to explain some things at the company. Once it’s settled, I can go a week without going and work remotely." Right now, he truly had no mood to think about the company’s matters, but as the boss of a group, he had to be responsible for his tens of thousands of employees and the company.

"Alright, let’s go now."

They fetched Gu Lili’s car from the garage. Gu Xichen drove, and she sat in the passenger seat.

The two arrived at Gu Group.

The car was parked in the underground parking lot, and they took the elevator straight to his office floor.

Gu Lili was dressed casually, in black straight-leg pants, a white down jacket on top, no makeup, and her hair tied in a simple ponytail.

She followed Xichen to the office, and the first thing he did was turn on the room’s heating.

Then he started handling work.

Gu Lili quietly sat on the sofa, flipping through the financial morning paper in her hands.

Her thoughts were not on the newspaper at all, but constantly churning over the current situation in the Demon World.

When Gu Xichen had handled most of the work, he finally called the secretary in for instructions.

"Let’s go back."

"Done?" Gu Lili reacted and stood up, "Then let’s go."

As soon as they entered the elevator, Gu Lili’s phone rang. It was the boss of the WT organization calling.

"This is Gu Lili."

A man’s voice came from the other end of the phone, "Someone paid for Gu Xichen’s head this morning."

Gu Lili glanced at Gu Xichen beside her and then asked, "Is it possible to say who?"

"If you want to know, it’s not impossible, but I want you to be honest with me about one thing."
