My Wife is My Life!

“Postpone?”

Ji Qingqing nodded lightly. “I know the seriousness of this matter. What problems can be solved in two days? Therefore, I want to postpone the wedding and hold it off until this matter stabilizes.”

“But…”

“What’s the matter? Until this matter is resolved, we still have a lot of time to get married. I don’t want to be too hasty about getting married. What do you think?”

Lu Lixing looked at her in silence.

The overseas market was turbulent and two days really wasn’t sufficient enough to solve its many problems. Postponing the wedding was indeed the best way at the moment, but the wedding had already been planned for a long time. Grandpa and Aunt Pei had also been preparing for a long time.

The wedding date was set, the invitation was sent, and everything was ready. But suddenly, plans were abruptly changed due to the emergency. Considering this, he felt a sense of loss.

Lu Lixing opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by Ji Qingqing, “Since you have no objection, then do this first. Let’s postpone the wedding and wait for this storm to pass completely before we decide on the final wedding date.”

Lu Lixing lowered his head and smiled. “Qingqing, thank you.”

“You’re welcome. Shouldn’t there be more trust and understanding between husband and wife? It’s inevitable for things like this to happen, I can understand.”

Grandpa Lu also looked at Ji Qingqing. “Qingqing, thank you too.”

“Grandpa…”

“I’ll go.”

Ji Qingqing and Lu Liting spoke in unison.

Then the three of them looked at Lu Liting, who had been silent for a long time on the sidelines.

Under the gaze of the three of them, Lu Liting whispered. “Grandpa, my company has been acquired.”

“Acquired?” Grandpa Lu asked seriously, “What’s the matter?”

“This trade war… I was unable to resist it. The company didn’t have the strength to carry it on. It’s better to be acquired than to go bankrupt.”

The first half of my life’s hard work was ruined. It’s fake not to be heartbroken.

He reluctantly smiled. “Although the company has been acquired in the past two days, I have also learned a little about our business abroad. I guess that there’s mainly a need for someone who can speak as a representative. I am also a member of the Lu family, I think I am quite suitable to attend.”

Grandpa Lu and Lu Lixing looked at each other.

“You want to go?”

Lu Liting asked rhetorically. “Am I not allowed?”

Lu Liting has been able to start from scratch over the years and support a company alone in such a severe market situation. Even though the scale of his company was not large, he still had some skills.

“The ticket is scheduled for the day after tomorrow and the company will talk about the specific matters tomorrow.”

Lu Liting got up, looked at Ji Qingqing, and wryly chuckled. “It’s just a pity that I can’t attend your wedding.”

But, his face held no regret.

Meanwhile, a high-rise building situated in the heart of the city was brightly lit.

As a company on par with Lu’s, it was indeed shocking that the Gu family had fallen to such a level during the trade war.

There were mountains of documents piled up on the desk of the huge office. Gu Shaoyu sat behind the desk. Facing so many documents, he didn’t know where to start.

He had been a dandy since he was a child, recklessly having fun and wasting his days doing nothing. Lao Gu knew that he was incapable, so instead, he built a way out for him. He handed over their business to a trustworthy manager to take care of it, but he didn’t expect the trade war to directly push Gu’s family to the cusp.

There was a knock on the door and the assistant hurriedly came over with a document.

“Mr. Gu, this is a document that urgently needs your signature.”

The assistant put the document in front of Gu Shaoyu. Gu Shaoyu felt a headache coming on when he looked at the official text on the contract. He knew and could speak Chinese, but when he saw all the words combined in the document, he wasn’t able to understand their meaning at all.

Whatever.

He just quickly signed his name where he needed to sign and the assistant hurriedly left with the documents.

Looking at the mountain of documents in front of him, Gu Shaoyu became impatient. He threw the pen away, leaned back, loosened the bow tie on his chest, and took a few breaths.

He wasn’t suited for this at all.

I can’t save the company.

Can’t save anyone.

Why should such a heavy burden be handed over to me?

I’ll only make things worse.

Gu Shaoyu thought desperately.

The cell phone on the table rang, but Gu Shaoyu didn’t have the energy to answer it. After it rang for a while, the other end of the phone hung up abruptly.

Gu Shaoyu felt peace for a while. But just a minute later, the phone rang again.

Annoyed by the noise, Gu Shaoyu picked it up and took a look.

It’s Shen Weiwei.

Gu Shaoyu was slightly tired and hurriedly picked up the phone. “Weiwei, what are you looking for me for?”

“You haven’t called me for a few days. What happened?”

Gu Shaoyu got up and looked out the window, smiled, and said, “Everything’s fine, but Grandpa was hospitalized. The company… the company is a bit busy at this time.”

“Grandpa is hospitalized? Which hospital? I’ll go see him.”

“Okay. The day after tomorrow… I will go with you the day after tomorrow.”

“Hmm.”

There was an awkward silence on the phone, then Shen Weiwei said, “Shaoyu, what’s the matter with Weixing Studio?”

Weixing Studio was the private studio opened by Gu Shaoyu for her and Gu Shaoyu had put a lot money into the team for them to only work for Shen Weiwei wholeheartedly.

But since some time ago, the studio had seen a change.
