Chapter 209 Father-Daughter Negotiation & Confession

Gu Qingyu stopped the waiter in the corridor and asked, "Hello, is there any vacant private room? Please help me open one!"

"Some customers, do you want it now?"

Gu Qingyu nodded when he heard this, "Yes! If there is, take us there now!"

"Okay, please follow me this way!" The waiter led Gu Qingyu and the other person towards the third floor.

The two of them sat down in the private room. After waiter 3 left, Gu Qingyu looked at Gu An with her arms folded across her chest and asked, "Dad, what do you want to tell me?"

Gu An didn't beat around the bush when he heard this and asked Gu Qingyu directly, "Are the things you said to your Aunt Chen yesterday true?"

"Really!" Gu Qingyu answered concisely.

I had originally held out a glimmer of hope that Gu Qingyu was joking, but now there was no hope at all!

Gu Qingyu looked at Gu An with a grim expression, poured herself a cup of tea, and sipped it happily.

Now I feel sad. Before, when I thought about using her to exchange for benefits, I didn’t know how happy I was!

Gu Qingyu had no sympathy at all for Gu An's current dilemma. She didn't step forward to step on him again. She had already done her best to add insult to injury.

Gu An looked at Gu Qingyu, who was calmly sipping tea across from him. He felt angry, but he had to bow to her again. He spoke in a hoarse voice and asked tentatively, "What did you say when you met with the young master of the Lin family yesterday?"

Gu Qingyu said in a contemptuous tone, "Ah? You want to know?"

Gu An looked at Gu Qingyu, who was leaning on the chair, crossing her legs and speaking in a casual tone, and suddenly felt embarrassed.

The girl opposite him really doesn't consider himself a father at all. Her undisguised contemptuous attitude is a slap in his face!

For the sake of his two children and his own future, even though Gu An was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, he had to suppress his anger and speak to Gu Qingyu in a kind manner.

"Qingyu, you have to know that if Dad really offends the Lin family, you probably can't stay out of it completely!"

"If you want to avoid being affected by this incident, you should share your conversation with Young Master Lin with me."

Gu An's words implied that he was asking Gu Qingyu to take him into trouble. It would be strange if Gu Qingyu didn't hear the threat in his words!

However, Gu An's words also showed that the other party was really anxious now! Anxiety is good, because when the other party is anxious, Gu Qingyu will be more confident in negotiating terms with Gu An.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyu sat up straight and said to Gu An in front of him, "Let me say yes, but before I say it, you have to agree to one condition of mine!"

Seeing that Gu Qingyu had given in, Gu An hurriedly asked, "What are the conditions? Tell me!"

"I will pay you alimony for the next thirty years, and you and I will sign an agreement to sever our father-daughter relationship!"

Gu An was horrified when he heard this. He looked at Gu Qingyu in disbelief and asked, "You want to sever the father-daughter relationship with me?"

Gu Qingyu nodded calmly, looking at Gu An and saying word by word, "Yes, you heard it right!"

Gu An looked at the calm Gu Qingyu, then stood up suddenly and shouted, "Impossible! I don't agree!"

Gu Qingyu wasn't surprised at Gu An's reaction. She simply raised her eyelids and looked at Gu An and said, "You should know that the Gu Dongsheng brothers are using IOUs to resell steel. This is a serious crime of undermining socialism and misappropriating state-owned assets!"

"If you're caught, you could be sentenced to more than ten years in prison. This could even affect your job. Are you sure you want to stick to what you just said?"

Gu Qingyu's words made Gu An hesitate for a moment, not knowing what to do. However, he still said to Gu Qingyu stubbornly, "Your two brothers are just helping Gu Wan. If this matter is really exposed, Lin Juemin will not watch the mother of his own child suffer. He will definitely help!"

Gu Qingyu chuckled upon hearing this and said, "If that's really what you think, then why did you come to me specifically to inquire about the news?"

"Because you know, Lin Zhao is involved in this matter, and behind Lin Zhao stands the entire Chen family to protect him."

"Once Lin Zhao is determined to get to the bottom of this, even Lin Juemin won't be able to protect Gu Wan, let alone your two sons!"

After Gu Qingyu pointed out the key to the matter, Gu An slumped down in his chair and remained silent for a long time.

After a long silence, Gu An looked up at Gu Qingyu and said through gritted teeth, "You can ask me to sign, but you have to settle the matter between Dong Sheng and the other two brothers. You can't let Lin Zhao hold them accountable!"

Gu Qingyu was not surprised at Gu An's choice. After talking with Lin Zhao yesterday, she was thinking on her way back whether it was feasible to sever ties with Gu An!

In the early years, Gu An was quite nice to Gu Qingyu. Later, as his two younger brothers grew up, Gu An put more energy on his sons, and the relationship between father and daughter became weaker.

Later, due to the change of the situation, Gu An had to retreat to the third line to avoid disaster. When the situation improved, everyone else returned to their original positions one after another, only Gu An remained in the Northwest.

This changed Gu An's mentality, and this change prompted Gu An to become eager for quick success and instant benefits. This was also the reason why Gu Qingyu wanted to draw a clear line between them.

Although Gu An's answer was exactly what Gu Qingyu wanted, she was not prepared to agree to it so easily.

Firstly, it was because she wanted to communicate with Lin Zhao. After all, what she said in front of Gu An today actually had the meaning of taking advantage of the power of others.

Since you are using the other party's name to do something, you must inform them at least.

Secondly, it was also to give Gu An the impression that this was a very difficult situation, so that Gu An would make up his mind and sign a statement to sever ties with her.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyu said with embarrassment, "You really think too highly of me. I'm afraid I can't do what you ask!"

Gu Qingyu said self-deprecatingly, "I don't think I'm a prominent figure. Lin Zhao was willing to come out and listen to my explanation yesterday. He was already giving me a huge favor!"

Hearing that Gu Qingyu actually refused, Gu An became anxious, "I don't care. If you want me to sign a severance statement, I must help your two brothers settle the matter!"

Seeing that Gu An was already a little confused, Gu Qingyu was secretly delighted and continued to add to the bargaining chip, "If you don't want to sign, then forget it. At worst, I'll just suffer the same fate with you!"

Seeing that Gu Qingyu still refused to give in, Gu An took a step back and said, "I don't want a penny of alimony. As long as you can settle the matter, I will agree to sign!"

Gu Qingyu originally just wanted to persuade Gu An, but she didn't expect the other party to make such a big concession.

"Then I'll try. If it doesn't work, then there's nothing I can do."

Gu An urged Gu Qingyu anxiously, "Qingyu, delay will lead to unexpected events. You need to hurry up!"

After the two men reached an agreement, they returned to the banquet hall to continue attending Sun Lei's opening ceremony.

At the end, Sun Lei grabbed Gu Qingyu who was about to leave and asked worriedly, "I heard that you just went out with Uncle Gu. How was it? Did you not have a quarrel?"

Gu Qingyu felt warm at the words and patted Sun Lei's shoulder with a smile, saying, "Don't worry, nothing's wrong!"

Seeing that Gu Qingyu didn't seem to be forcing a smile, Sun Lei felt relieved and watched her leave.

Thinking that he would have to go back to school for formal classes tomorrow, and was afraid that he would not have time to deal with the Gu family's affairs, Gu Qingyu turned around and walked towards Qianfu Lane again.

Lin Zhao's residence in Qianfu Lane

Wang Qiang heard someone knocking on the door, so he put down his work and walked to the gate of the courtyard. When he opened the door, he found that it was Gu Qingyu. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

Didn't this person just come yesterday? Why is she here again? Could she be another woman trying to get close to their boss?

Gu Qingyu didn't wait for Wang Qiang to ask, and smiled at him and said, "I wonder if Master Lin is at home today. I have something urgent to tell him!"

Wang Qiang was about to find an excuse to get rid of the other party, but when he heard Gu Qingyu say this, he paused as he was about to close the door. "Wait here for a while. I'll go ask the boss if he wants to see you."

Having said that, Wang Qiang didn't care whether Gu Qingyu was embarrassed standing at the door or not, and went to the garden to find Lin Zhao.

"Boss, Gu Qingyu who came yesterday is outside the door. She said she has something to tell you. Can you let her in?"

Lin Zhao sat up from the recliner upon hearing this, "Gu Qingyu is outside the door?"

"Did the other party say anything?" Lin Zhao asked.

Wang Qiang scratched his head awkwardly, not knowing how to respond. "Um... I didn't ask...?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao rolled his eyes at his subordinate and said speechlessly, "You didn't even ask her what happened before you came to me?"

In fact, Wang Qiang didn’t think that Lin Zhao would meet Gu Qingyu, so he didn’t ask about the other party’s purpose.

Now, after hearing Lin Zhao's question, Wang Qiang finally realized something and asked, "Boss, do you want to see this Gu Qingyu?"

Lin Zhao nodded when he heard this, "Well, please invite the person in!"

This was really beyond Wang Qiang's expectations. He thought the boss would ask him to kick the person out, but he didn't expect him to ask him to invite the person in. This was so strange!

Gu Qingyu looked at Wang Qiang who had returned and asked expectantly, "Will Young Master Lin call me?"

"Our boss agrees to meet you, come with me!" Wang Qiang said as he led Gu Qingyu into the yard.

Along the way, Wang Qiang led Gu Qingyu while secretly looking at her.

After looking for a long time, he didn't find anything special about this person. She was just an ordinary girl!

As Gu Qingyu walked into the yard, she lowered her eyes to look at her clothes, but she didn't find anything wrong.

Then why does Wang Qiang always look at her?

In comparison, Gu Qingyu couldn't help but mutter in her heart: This guy is crazy, why does he always sneak glances at her?

Fortunately, the journey to see Lin Zhao was short and it only took a few minutes to get there. Otherwise, Gu Qingyu really wanted to stop and ask the other party what he was looking at.

Lin Zhao looked at Gu Qingyu who came again and greeted her with a smile, "Miss Gu, please sit down!" Then he handed Gu Qingyu a cup of tea.

Gu Qingyu sat down upon hearing this, took the tea from the other party, and said apologetically, "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to come here and disturb your rest."

Lin Zhao smiled and shook his head when he heard this. "That's nothing. I'm more curious about why Miss Gu came here."

When Gu Qingyu heard Lin Zhao's question, she was a little hesitant and didn't know how to start speaking.

As if noticing Gu Qingyu's hesitation, Lin Zhao said with a smile, "Since Miss Gu is here, she must have mustered up the courage. Feel free to say whatever you want!"

Since the other party had already said so, Gu Qingyu no longer hesitated. She said to Lin Zhao frankly, "When we talked yesterday, it seemed that Master Lin had other plans for Gu Wan and her son. Was he not going to pursue the matter and send them to jail?"

Lin Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, you understand correctly!"

Seeing Lin Zhao's affirmative answer, Gu Qingyu continued, "I wonder if you noticed when you were researching my information that my relationship with the Gu family isn't very harmonious?"

Lin Zhao looked at Gu Qingyu in confusion and asked, "Oh, does it have anything to do with you coming to see me today?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyu told Lin Zhao everything she had talked about with Gu An today, and then said with a little embarrassment, "I'm afraid that after this incident, other troubles will arise in the Gu family, so I want to sever my father-daughter relationship with Gu An!"

"It's just for a while, I haven't found any good opportunity!"

"It just so happens that you don't plan to deal with Gu Wan and her son in a hurry, and Gu An is distracted by what I said. I want to buy some time and borrow your name to intimidate others so that I can successfully sever the father-daughter relationship with Gu An."

After Gu Qingyu finished speaking, he looked at Lin Zhao with a frank expression. He wondered if the other party would be angry after hearing what he said!

Lin Zhao stroked the cup in his hand, looked at Gu Qingyu opposite him, and sighed in his heart, this person really knows how to go with the flow!

This idea of ​​Gu Qingyu was definitely something that the other party came up with on the spur of the moment when Gu Qingyu revealed that he was not in a hurry to deal with Gu Wan.

Lin Zhao suddenly became interested in the person in front of him. He really wanted to see what this person would do next.

As far as he knew, when the Gu family planned to exchange her marriage for benefits this time, her biological mother seemed to be involved.

The other party actually dared to sever the father-daughter relationship with her biological father. He was very curious about how Gu Qingyu would deal with his mother.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhao suddenly laughed. He said to Gu Qingyu, "You are just trying to buy time, not borrowing my name."

"Actually, you don't have to come here to explain the situation. I believe that even if you don't explain, you can still successfully dissolve the father-daughter relationship with your father according to your own wishes!"

Gu Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lin Zhao's words. Since the other party said so, it was clearly stated that he would not bother with her about this matter.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyu gratefully thanked Lin Zhao again!
