“The heir of the Gu family?” Shen Yizhi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Rong Cheng’s words. He asked with some interest, “The heir of the Gu family, Miss Gu, is now investing in a project in the countryside?”

Rong Cheng nodded and said, “That’s right. 1 heard that she has contracted more than 200 acres of land now. They built greenhouses. Some time ago, she bought dozens of calves from a cattle farm company.”

Mo Junyan’s eyes flashed, but he still pursed his lips and glanced at Rong Cheng with his sharp eyes.

Rong Cheng met Mo Junyan’s gaze and thought that he was interested in the Gu family’s successor farming in the countryside. He became excited.

As long as they could defeat Gu Jianguo through this matter and then attack the Gu Corporation, even if the Rong Corporation could not cooperate with the Mo Corporation, the Gu Corporation would no longer be able to dominate alone.

Shen Yizhi had heard some rumors about the eldest daughter of the Gu family.

Gu Qingming had been nurtured by Gu Jianguo as an heir since she was young. Logically speaking, such a person should be a smart and capable business talent.

However, it just so happened that such a person with such good conditions had such strange taste. Not only did she become best friends with a hypocritical country girl, but she also had a relationship with a boy from the countryside.

In the end, she realized that not only was her so-called best friend having an affair with her boyfriend, but her relationship was also part of a scheme.

After discovering the truth, Gu Qingming took revenge with fierce and powerful methods.

However, she had clearly become the laughingstock of Sea City’s upper-class society.

What was even more laughable was that although Gu Qingming had taken revenge on her best friend and boyfriend, she had also slept with an unimown man under their scheme and lost her virginity. She was pregnant with a child of an unknown man.

Some people said that it was precisely because of this that Gu Qingming felt ashamed to stay in Sea City and had no choice but to escape to the countryside.

Shen Yizhi was not interested in the Gu family’s private matters.

However, after hearing these rumors, even Shen Yizhi could not help but doubt that the scheming heir of the Gu family was the same person whose EQ was low enough to be deceived by her good friend and boyfriend.

The difference seemed to be too great.

However, his sharp eyes noticed that when he mentioned the heir of the Gu family, the eldest daughter of the Gu family, his superior and good friend’s cold eyes actually revealed a hint of tenderness.

This made him very surprised.

At the same time, he felt a strong sense of interest. His intuition told him that his good friend must have a motive for attending this cocktail party.

Shen Yizhi revealed a sly look. Then, he smiled and asked, “Why is the eldest daughter of the Gu family suddenly interested in investing in the countryside?”

Of course, Shen Yizhi was being tactful.

As soon as he said that, someone burst out laughing.

When one person laughed, another would laugh. Soon, the group of business bosses and elites of Sea City started laughing.

Shen Yizhi asked in confusion, “What are you guys laughing at? Is it that funny?”

Rong Cheng glanced at the dark-faced Gu Jianguo and explained to Shen Yizhi, “President Shen, you don’t know! Actually, this eldest daughter of the Gu family isn’t investing in a project in the countryside at all. She’s actually going to have a child!” “Ha, give birth?” Shen Yizhi was a little surprised.

Gu Qingming was pregnant with a child of an unknown man. To put it bluntly, this child was a bastard.

The Gu family, oh no, Gu Jianguo actually allowed his daughter to give birth to such a child.

This was a family scandal!

No wonder there were so many jokes.

At this moment, President Li explained, “Gu Qingming slept with an unknown man and got pregnant. She was unwilling to abort the child, so she simply ran to the countryside to give birth.”

However, someone muttered at the side, “This is simply a bastard. The Gu family is actually so magnanimous as to accept the birth of this child.”

“You don’t say. With Gu Qingming’s current reputation, which family dares to marry her?

Now that she has given birth to this child, her surname happens to be Gu. The Gu family won’t have to worry about not having an heir in the future. How good is that?”

“Hmph, if it’s me, 1 can’t afford to lose face like this. Imagine having a daughter with bad taste; she hooked up with a boyfriend from the countryside and almost cut ties with her parents. It’s fine if it’s true love with this boyfriend, but in the end, it’s actually a hypocritical relationship. If it’s really me, 1’11 pull her over to abort the child!”

“Hehe, the Gu family doesn’t seem to feel embarrassed. Not only did they allow their daughter to give birth to this child, but they also support their daughter in doing those unpresentable things.”

As a rich young lady and the heir of a corporation, she was not working well in the company but was hiding in the countryside to farm. This really made people feel she was useless!

“Gu Qingming is pregnant with a bastard child. How can she have the face to continue staying in Sea City? She can only run away! Poor Gu Jianguo and his wife. In order to change the company’s image, they had no choice but to attend a banquet that they had never attended before!”

Gu Jianguo was speechless.

However, when he heard everyone calling the baby a bastard, the usually calm Gu Jianguo’s face immediately darkened!

He glared angrily at Mo Junyan.

The child was now called a bastard, but he still didn’t say anything. He had simply misjudged him!

Madam Gu said angrily with a dark expression, “What has my daughter’s pregnancy got to do with you? Have we ever eaten a piece of your family’s food or worn a piece of your family’s clothes? Do you need to gossip here? As the boss elites of Sea City’s upper-class society, aren’t you ashamed?”

Shi Yashu had always been impatient and hot-tempered!

“Try saying that my precious granddaughter is a bastard again? See if 1 don’t tear your mouths apart?”

As soon as Shi Yashu finished speaking, the bosses and elites were rendered speechless!

It was indeed not right for them to speak badly of a child in front of their parents!

However, Shi Yashu’s words were too sarcastic!

If their children could do it, why would they be afraid of others talking about it?

Of course, it was impossible for them, who claimed to have status, to argue with a woman!

However, if a man couldn’t do it, what about the woman?

Although those women were stuck in the corner of the banquet hall and could not move around casually!

The banquet hall was only so big, and Shi Yashu’s voice was so loud and clear that everyone could hear her clearly!

Hence, some people started to mock and despise her!

Madam Rong mocked, “Madam Gu, your daughter can do such an ugly thing, but you can’t let others say it? Hehe, if it were my daughter, 1 would definitely break her legs! How embarrassing!”

Madam Li said, “It’s fine if she got pregnant out of wedlock, but she actually got pregnant with a child with an unknown father and even gave birth to it. If that’s not a bastard, then what is!”

As soon as Madam Li finished speaking, everyone could clearly feel the temperature in the banquet hall drop by a few degrees!
