“I accepted and protected him because I felt sorry for him. I treated him like my blood brother. In the end, he pushed my mother down the stairs when I was out attending a banquet with my father.”
“Can you imagine that? How young was he? Ten? Yes, he was ten when that happened.” Zuo Si narrowed her eyes as her expression darkened as she recalled, “I saw my mum lying in a pool of blood as soon as we stepped into the house. Zuo An was standing on the stairs staring at us. There was no warmth in his eye at all, as if all of us deserved to die.”
“My mother’s health had always been bad. Her condition worsened after the fall. She was bedridden in the hospital for half a year before she passed away.”
Zuo Si’s eyes flared with uncontrollable hatred, “I wanted him to pay with his life then, but my father would not allow me to do that. Not only that, he even wanted Zuo An to outrank me. Zuo An would be his successor with the condition that Zuo An completes all the tasks he entrusted to him.”
“My position as his successor was in a critical condition without my mother backing me. Shouldn’t I hate him?”
Xu Weilai’s eyes widen in shock. She was also too shaken to react to Zuo Si’s story. It took awhile for her to digest all the information from Zuo Si.
She certainly did not expect that there were so much complications involved in the grudge between Zuo Si and Zuo An.
Zuo An being such a ruthless person was totally unexpected for her.
It was no surprise that he could be so ruthless when he was in his twenties if he could bring himself to hurt others when he was just ten.
Apparently, the personality he portrayed in front of her was the most gentle bit of himself.
However, she couldn’t agree to what he did to others.
He was hurting others to get what he wanted. He was unscrupulous and despicable based on that alone.
“Which is why, I will stand in his way on everything he wanted.”
Zuo Si’s gaze fell back on Xu Weilai’s face. “This is also why I’ve been keeping you informed. Having an ally, especially one as smart as you, is more benefit than harm to me.”
Indeed…
Zuo Si had always been keeping her informed.
Zuo Si had been providing her information from time to time, from the day they met and talked in Gu Yu’s office.
Zuo Si was the one that sent her message on the stormy night when they were travelling on the company trip. Zuo Si told her that if she wanted to gain Zuo An’s trust, she would have to go up the mountain to save Zuo An. He was once trapped in the mountain in a storm with his mother when he was young. His mother risked her life to save his and passed away on that fateful day. That became his greatest weakness.
It was also Zuo Si that sent her message and asked her to come along to Zuo Family Residence. That was when she discovered that Aunt Bai was the hidden enemy.
Later on, she was the one that sent her a message to inform her she moved Gu Yu out of the crime scene, although she did not tell her whether he was alive.
Their last alliance was in the shareholder’s meeting to move the votes to a tie and kept Gu Yu as the CEO of Gu Corporation.
It wasn’t a comfortable alliance for sure, because Zuo Si had always had her eyes on the CEO position of Gu Corporation.
Since Zuo Si had been unwilling to tell her about Gu Yu’s situation, Xu Weilai would not let her get the position of Gu Corporation CEO as well.
Xu Weilai quickly sorted out all the relationships after Zuo Si’s recollection and stories, then spoke up.
