Chapter 884: Zhaoming Is the Heir

Editor: Henyee Translations

Ultimately, Gu Zhaoming received over 100 million yuan.

He promptly transferred all the funds to Gu Jin’s account.

After taxes, Gu Jin invested her entire sum into the Yangning Research Institute to advance medical research.

Twenty-four hours post-surgery, Old Master Gu regained consciousness, bringing immense relief to the entire Gu family.

A week later, Old Master Gu was discharged from the hospital. He engaged a personal physician and returned to the Gu residence to recuperate.

With Gu Yang and others having completed their exams and enjoying winter break, they gathered at the Gu family’s ancestral home.

Gu Hongwei expressed profound gratitude, attributing his recovery to Gu Zhaoming’s initiative in inviting the Godly Doctor.

“My health has been declining, but now that Zhaoming is back to oversee family and business affairs, I feel assured.”

Upon hearing Gu Hongwei’s words, the expressions of the elders and members of the second and third branches shifted noticeably.

Old Madam Gu frowned and responded sharply, “Old man, how can you say that? Zhaoming has only just returned home. Zhao’an and Zhaoye are more familiar with family and company affairs.”

Gu Zhaoming bowed his head and concurred, “Father, Mother is right.”

But Gu Hongwei grew agitated. “Feng, enough!”

Gu Zhaoming quickly handed him water to calm his temper. “Father, please calm down. You’ve just been discharged from the hospital. Don’t let anger affect your health.”

Only then did Gu Hongwei’s demeanor soften. He took a sip of water to soothe his throat and gazed at everyone present with a solemn expression. Speaking in a subdued tone, he said, “Since Zhaoming joined the company, its performance has flourished. His achievements are undeniable.”

“He is the heir personally groomed by the Old Master. Sooner or later, both the family and the company will be entrusted to him. It’s wise to acquaint ourselves with him sooner rather than later.”

The members of the second and third branches wore grim expressions.

The Family Head remained steadfast in his decision to have the eldest branch inherit the family.

Gu Zhao’an clenched his fists and stood by Old Madam Gu’s side, casting her a meaningful glance.

Old Madam Gu spoke up, “Old man, Zhao’an and Zhaoye have been dedicated to the family all these years. When Gu Zhaoming abandoned the family and left, he shirked all responsibility…”

Gu Zhaoming hung his head in shame. “Father, it was my fault back then. I’m not as capable as my Second and Third Brothers.”

“Now that I’m back, I can join the company’s board of directors and ease your burdens. I would be content to fulfill my filial duty.”

“Let’s leave the matter of family inheritance to Second Brother and Third Brother.”

“Madam Feng, aren’t you angry enough with me? You forced Zhaoming to leave!”

Gu Hongwei reprimanded Old Madam Gu, then sighed wearily as he addressed everyone present. “For now, let’s consider this matter settled. I’m tired. You may all leave.”

As they exited the old residence, the members of the second and third branches appeared discontented.

Gu Zhao’an couldn’t resist sourly remarking, “Big Brother, you certainly have your ways.”

Gu Zhaoming, who had shed his earlier humility, replied with a smile, “Isn’t that because you lack them?”

Gu Zhao’an was taken aback, watching Gu Zhaoming’s family depart with an ugly expression.

Once the second branch’s family boarded their car, Gu Shuxue sat in the backseat, clinging to her mother’s arm. She couldn’t help but complain, “Grandpa is too biased towards Eldest Uncle’s family. And as Grandma said, they left before. Why did they come back?”

“It’s all because of that foolish Third Brother. He insisted on sending people to attack the eldest branch,” Guo Min grumbled with displeasure.

Since returning to the capital from the main branch, Ruan Xueling had attended numerous banquets as a Gu family daughter-in-law, earning widespread praise. She had become quite renowned in the fashion and jewelry industries, enjoying a successful career while her children excelled in their studies. Her achievements overshadowed those of Guo Min completely.
