Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1092: The Reunion Approaches (2)
A few people chattered for half a day, and in the end, they couldn’t come to any conclusion.
First, Hu Jialu betrayed them, and the worst part was that although Hu Jialu was not the one giving orders among them before, having Hu Jialu around made them feel like they had a safety net at their back. Hu Jialu’s connections gave them security, and they trusted him.
Secondly, they were involved in the crime of kidnapping. Jia Baomo was indeed kidnapped by them, and Hu Jialu might have known about it, but at the time, Hu Jialu did not support them in doing such a reckless thing.
They indeed acted too hastily, thought too much, fearing that Jia Baomo would follow Hu Jialu and discover their hideout.
Who knows whether this was the reason that eventually led Hu Jialu to easily join Gu Nuan’s camp.
With Hu Jialu taking advantage of the situation, this group of people was like headless chickens, in constant fear, not knowing what to do next. Meanwhile, Gu Nuan was becoming the largest shareholder and true owner of Changda through the investment company Fu Nuan.
It’s said that the stocks were secretly sold to Gu Nuan, including those originally owned by Xiao Jianming himself. Wouldn’t it mean that even Xiao Jianming had come to accept Gu Nuan?
Anything is possible because it seems unlikely that Gu Nuan became the largest shareholder of Changda in just a few days. He must have done countless secret maneuvers over the past three months, unnoticed by others.
As Sister Cai said, Gu Nuan has completed his transformation.
"Could it be that we need to surrender and wave the white flag to her?" someone asked.
Zhu Dong shook his head, Sister Cai shook her head.
Sister Cai said, "Her temperament is unforgiving. Hu Jialu has his value, that’s why she didn’t hit Hu hard. For us, if we hold no value to her, it’s a matter of minutes before she strikes heavily against us."
Zhu Dong was frustrated. They couldn’t even beat Gu Nuan, not to mention that Chairman Zhan, who was also a formidable adversary, ended up as a cautionary tale for all. If someone like Chairman Zhan, an old fox, could be defeated by Gu Nuan, they really couldn’t see any hope.
In the morning, this group of people finished the discussion here, and by noon, someone had already defected.
In hindsight, it was inevitable; after the discussion, they became leaderless, with no one able to declare hope for the future. If things continued this way, rather than wait to be liquidated by Gu Nuan after the festivities, it was better to surrender before the festivities, confess actively to seek leniency, hoping to save their lives and positions. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Defection meant betraying companions to gain Gu Nuan’s approval.
The whole group got implicated.
Jia Baomo was kidnapped suddenly and hadn’t seen clearly who was responsible, and Wei Changqing’s follow-up investigation required time. Therefore, when someone came to confess to Gu Nuan, Wei Changqing was surprised.
It seems that even as a skillful inspector like him, he wasn’t as useful as Gu Jinrong’s brains and strategy.
It was the day before New Year’s Eve when the third Xiao sibling, Xiao Shuju, returned to the Ruan Family’s house and pinched Little Pudding’s cheek.
Qingqing pouted, clearly unhappy.
As soon as Xiao Shuju let go, the little one almost cried all the way back to the house to complain to their aunt.
But then Xiao Shuju said he was being fed like a pig by Gu Nuan, and the little one, feeling angry, pouted and said, "I’m not a pig; I’m just round because I’m wearing a lot of clothes."
Xiao Shuju exclaimed, rolling her eyes: "I was praising your aunt for treating you well. Or, does she not treat you well?"
