Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 360: For Your Own Good

Gu Zheng did not expect Gu Ningyue to come here today, wanting fifty percent of the company’s shares.

To him, it was almost like asking for half of his life.

"Impossible!"

Gu Zheng responded firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.

The Gu Family was built through his hard work; how could he possibly hand over fifty percent of the shares to a little girl?

What’s more, she looked so much like that woman!

Gu Ningyue’s lips curled slightly, and at some point, her brows had relaxed, giving her an inexplicable air of calm and eeriness: "What if I say that once I get this fifty percent of the shares, I’ll let that woman born from the mistress go? Not only that, I would even write a letter of forgiveness for Gu Wanwan!"

Gu Zheng stared at her in disbelief, "What did you say?"

Now that things were set in stone, if Gu Ningyue was willing to let Gu Wanwan go before the prosecutor’s office approved her arrest, perhaps there would still be a chance.

For a moment, Gu Zheng didn’t know what to decide. If Gu Wanwan didn’t have to go to jail, his future might still have...

Thinking of this, Gu Zheng looked at Gu Ningyue and asked, "Ningyue, did you come here today for this matter?"

If it was just to get this fifty percent of the shares, Gu Ningyue was indeed playing a big game.

Even he had been calculated by Gu Ningyue.

Gu Ningyue stared into Gu Zheng’s eyes, seemingly unwilling to miss any trace of expression on his face: "What if I say yes? Now that Ye Mingchen will definitely go to jail, Dad, you don’t want Gu Wanwan to go with him, do you? Having just lost your grandson, you don’t want to lose your daughter too?"

Gu Zheng shook his head emphatically, "Fifty percent is too much, I can only give you twelve percent!"

Gu Ningyue smiled faintly, "Twelve percent? It seems Wanwan’s remaining life is worth that twelve percent of shares!"

She hadn’t even wanted the shares; she just wanted to see how much Gu Wanwan was worth in Gu Zheng’s eyes.

Now she saw, it was nothing much.

"This won’t work! Dad." Gu Ningyue still called him that, only because the time for complete severance hadn’t come yet: "Without getting this fifty percent of the shares, I absolutely won’t let Gu Wanwan go!"

"Ningyue, do you really have to be so ruthless?" Gu Zheng was furious, but he was helpless against the young woman in front of him: "You already have Ling Tianyou, what could you possibly lack?"

Heavens know, just the diamond bracelet on her wrist was probably more valuable than twelve percent of the Gu Family’s shares!

Why couldn’t Gu Ningyue be satisfied and wanted to get a share of the Gu family company?

"Ling Tianyou’s belongings are under the Ling name; I want what’s mine!" Gu Ningyue’s brows suddenly knitted together: "What’s more, if it weren’t for Gu Wanwan and Ye Mingchen’s affair, causing me to lose face and dignity, would I be where I am today? It’s Gu Wanwan who owes me, how could I possibly let her go without sufficient compensation? And for all this, don’t you bear some responsibility as well?"

"Dad, are you really happy watching me suffer?"

She had never seen such a despicable and shameless man, able to do so many things she despised.

The original protagonist walked towards death step by step, and Gu Zheng’s indifference was the hand pushing her into the abyss.

If the original protagonist were still alive, hearing her father’s words and seeing his shameless demeanor, how heartbroken would she be?

Even for herself, it was impossible to talk calmly here with Gu Zheng.

Can’t imagine if it were the original protagonist, would she already be in tears?

"Ningyue!" Gu Zheng suddenly sighed deeply: "Dad knows he has wronged you, but those things are behind us now. You found Ling Tianyou amidst the disaster, can’t we let bygones be bygones? You’re still young, with countless possibilities ahead. If you’re willing, I can arrange a position in the company for you. Once you prove yourself, I’ll transfer thirty percent of the company’s shares to your name. Dad is old and only has you children; how could he not care for his daughter?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ningyue’s brows didn’t relax but knitted tighter.

Just now, he said he would only give her twelve percent of the shares, and now Gu Zheng was willing to give her thirty percent?

If it were someone else, they would probably be overjoyed or immediately agree, right?

Unfortunately, Gu Zheng miscalculated.

"Dad, are you joking with me?" Gu Ningyue bowed her head, playing with her beautiful nails, and felt disgusted just looking at Gu Zheng: "As you said, I already have Ling Tianyou, and I don’t lack such a job."

This was simply laughable, work here for a while, prove herself, and then get the shares?

And ultimately, wouldn’t it be Gu Zheng who defined what counts as contribution?

Most importantly, she had no interest in working here!

What she wanted, from beginning to end, was just money!

"If you think fifty percent is too much, then we can put this matter aside, but regarding Gu Wanwan, there’s no need to say it a second time; I won’t let her go!" Gu Ningyue’s voice carried a strong sense of determination, leaving Gu Zheng with no hope: "However, I did come today for your sake."

Gu Zheng paused slightly, "Ningyue, what do you mean?"

Based on what Gu Ningyue just said, it was hard for him to think in that direction.

Only then did Gu Ningyue lift her head, looking at Gu Zheng’s still charmingly maintained face, and asked, "You already know about Li Yulan’s affair, right? Are you really content with wearing that green hat?"

"Who knows, the children she brought might not even be yours!"

After all, during that time, Li Yulan was kept outside; who hadn’t she met?

Particularly this old lover Xiang Bei, even if Gu Ningyue didn’t mention it, Gu Zheng had long harbored suspicions.

But thinking of Gu Wanwan and Gu Heng underneath him all these years, watching them grow day by day, Gu Zheng couldn’t let go of the idea.

"How did you find out about this?" Gu Zheng looked at Gu Ningyue, startled: "Who told you?"

Logically, the people he sent to monitor Li Yulan should have acted flawlessly. How did Gu Ningyue know about Li Yulan’s affair?

"You don’t need to worry about how I found out; what you need to do now is deal with Li Yulan and those she left behind." Gu Ningyue’s voice was leisurely, like it carried a certain magic that reached Gu Zheng’s ears: "Or can you forgive a woman who’s already betrayed you and let her take away everything from the Gu Family?"
