Chapter 1476 Shareholders" Meeting 8

Gu Qiwu's tone was naturally heavy.

As a father, he did not wish for his two daughters to begrudge each other, yet it seemed like there was not much he could do right now. What he had tried hard to avoid still happened in the end.

However, Gu Lingsha could not truly understand Gu Qiwu's intentions. When she heard him, the fury that she held back could not help but explode, "Targeting her? What do you mean I'm targeting her? Father, is Mu Lingshi the only daughter to you?"

She was already miserable, but upon hearing Gu Qiwu now, she felt even sadder. "If you can be so protective over her, why can't you think of me? Ah Feng is your son-in-law too. I know that you haven't been picking up my calls because of Qi Kai's internal situation. Can't you just help me and Ah Feng out?"

"I've said very clearly on the letter that I won't be joining in any of your power struggles. You know very well where my bottom line is. You should understand why I have to do so. All these years, I've owed Zixi, Lingtian, and Lingshi too much, but the only people I don't owe anything to are you and your mother, Doris!"

Gu Qiwu's tone was exceptionally firm as his dark eyes subconsciously dimmed. These were things that he did not want to recall, but now...

"I've said before that if only you learned how to be slightly more contented, you wouldn't suffer so much. Lingsha, you were a very smart person before, and you once made me very happy, but ever since your return, and with your mother inciting you, what have you become?"

"Enough! You have no right to talk about my mother no matter how she is. She was forced to a dead end because of you two, and now you're still blaming her. Isn't that going a bit too overboard! Content? What do you mean content? If you were me, would you be able to let it go? Why can't you just see things from my perspective?" Gu Lingsha could not help but shout coldly.

When Gu Lingsha finished, a cold voice cut through, "You keep asking others to see things from your perspective, but have you done that for others? Don't speak as if you have always been so selfless. You have never done that yourself, so how can you ask that of others?"

Gu Qiwu and Gu Lingsha were both shocked as they turned around to the voice and saw Mu Lingshi standing at the bottom of the staircase.

She wore a loose black leisure outfit with a showing belly. She did not wear any shades, so the scar across her face looked slightly malevolent. Her indifferent expression made her look that much meaner.

Gu Lingsha was stunned and could not quite react immediately as she stared at Mu Lingshi who stopped by the stairs.

Actually, Mu Lingshi was not surprised by Gu Lingsha's apperance. Even though she was in City B, she was always aware of the situation in City Z, and she had been paying attention to the situation of the Mu family. Therefore, she was quite in the know of everything happening over there.

"Have you finished work early today?" Gu Qiwu's voice broke the silence, then Gu Lingsha snapped back and her expression changed. "Why are you here too?"

"Can't I be here?" Mu Lingshi asked back coldly. She had heard all of Gu Lingsha's words from earlier, thus a hint of disdain hung on the corner of her lips.

"I asked him not to interfere with any issues on the other end. There's no need to put your anger onto others."

Mu Lingshi walked up the staircase with an indifferent expression. Even though she might not care for any father-daughter kinship with Gu Qiwu, she did not need to let him take on any blame for her since she would bear responsibility for her own words.

"What gives you the right to do that?" Gu Lingsha started to look unhappy now as she questioned.

"Nothing, really. You have your intentions while I have my bottom line and principles too. Not everyone's like you and Doris. I think you should know the intentions behind why he's trying hard to avoid this matter." Mu Lingshi's tone was not courteous either.

Gu Lingsha was about to say something when Gu Qiwu's voice came through, "Let's all sit down."

"I've got nothing to talk about with her. I just wanted to remind you about our agreement. Also, Gu Lingsha, if I were you, I would advise Qi Feng to be aware of his own capabilities and not to make further mistakes. It's great to be all high and mighty, but don't forget the bottom line as a person."

Mu Lingshi's indifferent tone contained some warning. "I hope that we can coexist harmoniously, but if you reach my bottom line, I won't be nice."

"You!" Gu Lingsha's face turned cold and she wanted to say something, but Mu Lingshi had already turned around.

"I've heard about Qi Feng's matter. If I were you, I wouldn't have come here. Instead, I'd think about how to capture the hearts of the people at the company. I didn't want to say much, but on account of some sisterly kinship, I could say something. If you don't go against us, we won't go against you either. However..."

Mu Lingshi did not finish her sentence towards the end. Instead, she turned to look at Mu Lingshi.

"After going through so much, you should've realized some things by now. Besides, you have a daughter as well, don't you?"

Mu Lingshi's words stunned Gu Lingsha to the extent that she could not quite answer her.

It was at this distracted instance that Mu Lingshi had already vanished before her. At the pavilion, only she and Gu Qiwu, who kept quiet as he watched Mu Lingshi gradually move away, remained...

"I won't interfere in anything between all of you, and I won't help you out from behind like I used to, but this is still your home. It's still a shelter for you." Gu Qiwu's tone was exceptionally smooth as he added, "For Lingshi too."

"I'm old now. I don't want to care about those grudges anymore, so I'll let you all be." He felt worn out. Perhaps this was the best choice...

"Father, if on Ah Feng's side..."

"I've done all that I can. The rest will be up to you. I don't want to see you sisters end up like Qi Feng and Qi Lei, so I hope you know what to do."

Indeed, when Gu Qiwu said that, Gu Lingsha's expression instantly sank.

"Ah Feng he...He's just..."

"Qi Feng's not as simple as he seems, Lingsha. I hope you can make better plans for yourself. If the most recent incident is tied to him, you should know what the consequences will be."
