Chapter 687: Gu Man’s Identity

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Dad, I’m sorry. I didn’t know.” Cui Hong’s lips moved. He really didn’t know what to say and could only apologize.

Then when he questioned Gu Man’s ability to get the Ziwei Industry downstairs, Old Master Cui’s heart must have ached too.

“But why didn’t you tell me downstairs just now? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have said such ugly words. I also want to make it up to my sister’s daughter.” Cui Hong regretted his call even more.

If he had known Gu Man’s identity earlier, he would definitely not have made that call. He would be extremely happy to give away his assets.

Moreover, he had allowed Jia Ling to say such ugly words just now. Gu Man must be very sad now.

Old Master Cui stared at Cui Hong. “Actually, when you brought Jia Ling back, I didn’t agree because 1 could tell that she wasn’t a simple woman. She will only cause chaos in this family when she joins. Fortunately, she has been behaving herself in recent years, so 1 didn’t dwell too much on it with her. But you have to know that she doesn’t have such a deep friendship with your sister. She only cares about the inheritance and money. She will definitely target Gu Man. This is the reason why 1 didn’t tell you about this downstairs.”

Cui Hong revealed a guilty expression. Just as Old Master Cui had said, when Jia Ling was on the phone, her attitude towards Gu Man was tit for tat. It was hard to imagine that if she knew Gu Man’s true identity, she would definitely be filled with hatred because a portion of the inheritance rights that belonged to her children would be given to Gu Man.

However, his relationship with Jia Ling had already gradually settled down from the hot-bloodedness back then to mutual help.

If he broke off the engagement now, not only would he make a fool of himself in the industry, it would even affect his children. Therefore, he basically had the thought of getting by.

Moreover, Jia Ling had indeed been well-behaved in the past few years, but once her interests were affected, this person was like a bomb that could explode at any time. She was always dangerous.

Old Master Cui probably had the same thought, which was why he did not ask him for a divorce.

“Dad, don’t worry. I’ll resolve this matter. As for Ziwei Industry, I have no complaints. Even if I have to give the other businesses to Gu Man, I definitely won’t say anything.” Cui Hong’s tone was exceptionally firm.

He wanted to compensate Gu Man for not being able to compensate his sister for those years.

Old Master Cui looked at Cui Hong’s face and nodded in satisfaction. Although Cui Hong’s talent in business was not good, he was still a loyal person. This was what he admired the most about Cui Hong.

“By the way, have you told Cui Lin about this?” Cui Hong looked at Old Master Cui.

Back then, because Jia Ling had never been able to give birth to a son, they carried a child from the collateral branch and raised him here.

It could be considered as fulfilling Old Master Cui’s wish, but Jia Ling felt that her children’s status would be threatened and kept targeting Cui Lin.

However, even this could not hide Old Master Cui’s love for Cui Lin. He even recognized Cui Lin as his son.

However, in the past few years, the Cui family had indeed been turned upside down because of this matter. Cui Lin seemed to have realized this and chose to study an unpopular subject. In the end, he stayed outside and never returned home.

This only slightly appeased Jia Ling’s anger.

At that time, Old Master Cui’s hatred for Jia Ling had already reached its peak. He even threatened to let Cui Hong divorce Jia Ling. However, at that time, Cui Hong loved Jia Ling to death, so this matter had been entangled for a long time.

However, what was done was done. No matter what Old Master Cui did, he could not persuade him to stay, so he did not care anymore. It was just that he had never treated Jia Ling well.

“Not yet. You know that child too. He hasn’t come to the Cui Family much for so many years. Although he contacted me a few times behind my back, when I had any thoughts of handing over the assets in my hands to him, he immediately avoided me. I’m afraid it’s because of what happened back then.” Old Master Cui shook his head.

Cui Hong looked ashamed. “It was my fault back then. 1 made him suffer so much. It’s only right to give him some compensation. I’ll tell Jia Ling about this when we get back..”
