Unexpectedly, it backfired. Not only did it fail to bring the person back, but it also severed the ties between them.

"Who knew she was so powerful? She was actually related to the Bo family and even went against the Ji family. I used to think she didn't have any ability." Gu Zhiyuan laughed at himself.

When he actually went on stage to negotiate business, he found that no one bought his account. Only then did he realize that many people recognized Ji Shunuan, not him.

"Ji Shunuan has the same blood as her mother, a strong business woman. Her temperament is also different from others."

"We have to find a way to force her to come back, otherwise the Gu family will not be able to hold on." Old Man Gu murmured in a low voice.

Who would have thought that a woman could overturn the entire Gu family.

"I'm afraid it's useless. The Bo family will definitely intervene to investigate her accident this time, and the medicine I took also took effect when I was driving. Once the Bo family becomes suspicious, they will point the finger at me."

"But I didn't know I drugged her, and there would be some drug residue on my body. But fortunately I wasn't hurt too badly, and I also saw clearly how Ji Shunuan felt about me."

"Her mind is no longer on me, or rather, her mind has never been on me, otherwise I have been engaged to her for eight years and she has never let me touch her."

"Grandpa, I find it a little strange that she has been using the excuse of discussing projects to devote herself to work all these years. Does she really want to work, or is she trying to avoid contact with me?"

"Or, she felt that there was something wrong with the Gu family, so she used the excuse of work to conduct an in-depth investigation. Now that the investigation is almost complete, she found an excuse to withdraw. As soon as she withdrew, our Gu family just happened to get into trouble." Gu Zhiyuan analyzed calmly.

The more I analyze it, the scarier it becomes.

He never thought that he would lose to a woman. He always looked down on Ji Shunuan, thinking that she was a marriage for the benefit of the Ji family and that she was greedy for his wealth.

When she really left, he realized that she was not playing hard to get, but left in a carefree manner.

"I don't know whether this nationwide crackdown on us, or even direct withdrawal from all our groups and putting us in such a predicament, was actually the work of Ji Shunuan."

"But we have always been careful in doing things, and we didn't let Ji Shunuan get involved in anything. How did she find out? Or am I thinking too much?" Gu Zhiyuan was very worried.

This question seemed to push him into the abyss.

"If Ji Shunuan knew our secret, then we can't keep this woman anymore. But now that the Bo family is behind her, if we act rashly, we will only be giving them our heads." Old Master Gu sighed.

"Ji Shunuan is capable. If we can keep her, everything will be easy." Old Man Gu murmured in a low voice.

This one sentence made Gu Zhiyuan's face turn a little ugly.

"Grandpa, in your heart, am I not as good as her?" Gu Zhiyuan asked.

He was lying on the hospital bed, with multiple abrasions on his face, two of which had penetrated deep into his bone marrow. There were several pieces of gauze on his face, and the wound on his arm was still bleeding. He looked in a miserable state.

But his eyes were full of calculation.

"All the projects and resources that our Gu family has negotiated over the years were brought forward by her. You can't compare with her. It's a pity that she is a woman. If she were not a woman, her future would be immeasurable." Old Man Gu said in a low voice.

Gu Zhiyuan clenched his fists, then reluctantly let go.

He was lying on the hospital bed, looking up at the door of the ward, and found that Ji Wushuang had been standing outside the door at some point, staring blankly into the ward.

"Why is she here?" Gu Zhiyuan's face changed drastically.

He struggled to get up, but saw Ji Wushuang pushing the door open.

She came in with a fruit basket and red eyes. She put the fruit on the bedside table, forced a smile, and whispered, "I heard you had a car accident. I came to see you."

"But don't worry, I'm not here to bother you on purpose. If you don't want to see me, I'll leave now." Ji Wushuang said, her voice choked with sobs.

Old Master Gu turned around and looked at Gu Zhiyuan.

"Don't come here in the future. The Gu family is about to go bankrupt and they don't have what you want." Gu Zhiyuan said coldly.

I had no intention of keeping her, and I also wanted to cut off all ties with her.

"Okay." Ji Wushuang lowered his head, turned around and walked away with big strides.

Gu Zhiyuan looked at her back as she left, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He didn't expect that she would be so straightforward this time and didn't pester him anymore.

"Did she hear us talking just now?" Gu Zhiyuan felt a little uneasy.

Old Master Gu smiled solemnly and said, "She is just an illegitimate daughter. It doesn't matter whether she heard it or not. Even if she heard it, if she dares to harm us, we will kill her."

"She is different from Ji Shunuan. Ji Shunuan has the benefits we want. Once we lose her, our Gu family will suffer. But Ji Wushuang relies on the Ji family."

"The Ji family relies on Ji Shunuan. Now without Ji Shunuan, the Ji family is in disarray, so Ji Wushuang is dispensable." Old Master Gu said realistically.

This is also the reason why he didn't let Gu Zhiyuan marry Ji Wushuang.

He would not allow in a person who had no influence or was even a hindrance.

But they didn't know that Ji Wushuang didn't leave. Instead, he leaned against the door and listened to the two people talking with his head tilted. Although there was a door between them, their voices could be faintly heard.

"You look down on me. How dare you look down on me? Why?" Anger flashed in Ji Wushuang's eyes.

She clenched her hands into fists, hatred boiling in her heart.

No wonder he never mentioned marriage even though she went to bed with Gu Zhiyuan and had fun with him. The only outrageous thing he did was to break off the engagement with Ji Shunuan for her.

After the engagement was broken off, problems arose within the Gu family, and that was when he began to distance himself from her.

"Ji Shunuan, everyone thinks Ji Shunuan is stronger than me? I don't believe that I can't kill her. When I was little, I could step on her under my feet, and now I can do it too." Ji Wushuang said coldly.

She turned and walked away with big strides, but her fingertips holding the phone were shaking.

She had hired internet trolls before and forced Ji Shunuan to be on the hot searches in order to discredit her reputation, but she didn't expect that this incident had no effect on Ji Shunuan at all.

"Help me find a few men, yes, strong and healthy ones!! Preferably rapists." Ji Wushuang said in a cold voice.

Thinking back to the time when she used the same trick, Ji Shunuan was almost raped, but it was just a little bit short of that, as she was beaten to death in the alley by Ji Shunuan.

In order to calm things down, Dad downplayed the incident and did not hold Ji Shunuan responsible.

The resentment in Ji Wushuang's eyes almost burst out. She gritted her teeth and strode to the other end of the ward, and came to Ji Jianchong's ward.
