Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 396: Ruined by a Woman

Competing with Uncle, how could I?

Not because I’m afraid of Uncle’s power; if it were someone else today, someone with power equal to Gu Beicheng.

Gu Lingqian would never just hand over his woman to anyone.

But, Uncle is Uncle, a kin both fatherly and brotherly.

Since they were young, their father either was obsessed with the power struggle, or he passed away early.

It can be said that Gu Lingqian and Gu Feimo grew up following Gu Beicheng.

Though Gu Beicheng is not much older than Gu Lingqian, he was very strict with them, especially with Gu Feimo, who lost his father.

After Gu Lingqian came of age, due to work, he was not as close to Uncle as before.

But, he always had a deep respect for Uncle.

If Nian Nian didn’t like Uncle, that’d be one thing, but as it happens, she cares so much about Uncle too.

Gu Feimo leaned on the chair back, looking at the night view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, his face calm like water, and icy cold like frost.

"This time Xia Yinian was kidnapped, Uncle will soon find out who is behind it."

Gu Lingqian’s fingertips tightened, but he didn’t speak.

Xia Yinian, standing in the outside corridor, also had her breath disordered. She had suspected for a long time, but still couldn’t figure out who it was.

It couldn’t possibly be Xia Chuxue, where would she get the capability?

And likely not Gu Ziqi either, but besides them, who else has she offended that they would want her dead?

The two men in the room seemed to know...

Gu Lingqian still remained silent, Gu Feimo pursed his lips and said, "She is not suitable for Uncle, if she is with Uncle, even if Uncle is not dragged down by her, she herself will not survive."

"I will protect her!" Gu Lingqian’s palm tightened, and a cold decisiveness immediately appeared between his brows.

"She’s Uncle’s woman, what need do you have to care about her life or death? Unless, you truly have fallen for her!"

Gu Lingqian’s fingertips tensed for a moment, while Xia Yinian outside leaned weakly against the wall, her heart clenched tightly.

"If you like her, and Grandma likes her, why don’t you just tell Uncle directly that you want this woman."

Gu Feimo is not naive; he’s very clear that Xia Yinian really isn’t suitable for Uncle.

"The person behind this can tolerate seeing you and Xia Yinian together, even if he dislikes it, but for Grandma’s sake, he would at least bear it."

"But if Xia Yinian and Uncle are together, that would not only go against his wishes but also hurt Grandma’s heart; such things, he will absolutely not allow."

Xia Yinian’s heart was frantically convulsing.

She finally understood; she finally heard it clearly.

The person behind the scenes wanting to put her to death was... Old Master Gu!

Was it because he noticed her relationship with Gu Beicheng was not simple?

Old Master Gu’s methods are so cruel and ruthless!

Gu Feimo’s voice, still indifferent, continued: "What you know even more clearly is that Uncle and he can’t go to war, they must not go to war."

He took a deep breath, such an outcome, even he couldn’t imagine.

"If Uncle really went to war with him, our Gu Family... would end up broken and destroyed because of one woman."

"No!" Gu Lingqian turned around fiercely, still with his back to him, "I will not let that happen."

"Moreover, Grandma is still here; Uncle loves Grandma so much, he would never let Grandma witness such things happening in the family."

Otherwise, with Grandma’s current health condition, she... she wouldn’t make it!
