NOVEL WEB Chapter 214: The Law Firm Was Investigated
Moreover, the Gu Family never acknowledged it from beginning to end.
The meaning was obvious.
The girl looked disgusted, "If she really dares to go, I'll be impressed. Never thought she was that kind of person, she tricked us all, made us misunderstand you so deeply."
"That's the persona in the entertainment industry for you."
"Isn't it? No one in the industry knew either, she hid it so well," the girl sighed, "And the Gu Family treats their own daughter so harshly."
Gu Zhi pressed her lips together, not saying anything, she didn't care how the Gu Family treated her in the slightest.
Yet, she was a bit curious whether the Gu Family would appear in the next episode of the show.
In the original script, until the entire show was finished filming, this matter never came to light.
The original owner, because of this show, further cemented her image as someone constantly leeching off the Gu Family, a lowly sycophant.
In the end, her loyal fans and face fans were greatly disappointed with her, unfollowed, and joined the haters to criticize her until she quit the industry.
Afterward, the original owner's life was even more miserable, until her death.
But now, the trajectory has completely changed, and whether Gu Yiyi will still be on the show is really hard to say.
After all, she is the main character; who knows when she might make a comeback.
-
Inside the hospital, Gu Mu leaned pale-faced against the hospital bed, completely devoid of color.
Too many things happened in the past two days, she couldn't accept it at all.
Seeing Gu Wenfan walk in, she asked, "How are your father and brother? Still no news? When will the investigation results be out?"
Gu Wenfan shook his head, "I've smoothed over all the relationships that needed smoothing; we're still waiting for the results. This time they might be serious."
"Damn it!" Gu Mu, in anger, threw her cup, "All because of that unfilial girl, Gu Zhi! Where is she? I'm in the hospital, and she doesn't even come to see me!?"
Gu Wenfan frowned without speaking, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.
She was probably celebrating with the Qin Family at this moment; how could she possibly come to the hospital!?
Gu Mu took a deep breath, looked up at Gu Yiyi, her expression much calmer, "Yiyi is still the best, sat with me by my side the whole night, she's the true daughter of the Gu Family, unlike that ingrate!"
Gu Yiyi heard this but said nothing.
She did want to leave, but there were reporters everywhere outside. Once she stepped out, she'd be watched, and they'd make a big fuss out of it. It's safer in the hospital for now.
She didn't even dare to leave the ward.
And the fourth brother hasn't shown up these past few days; he's a top star in the entertainment industry, with tight scrutiny, even the slightest move would be made into a big deal.
Word was, he seemed to have gone abroad for some work engagement these days.
Gu Wenfan, however, glanced at Gu Yiyi and, recalling something, said, "I called the Qi Family, mentioned the marriage between Yiyi and Qi Yunlin, the priority is to deal with this first."
Gu Mu's eyes instantly lit up, "What did they say?"
Gu Wenfan pressed his lips together, "They said they would discuss it and contact us then."
Upon hearing this, Gu Mu's face immediately showed another streak of anger, coldly saying, "Qi Mingyue is unreliable too."
Gu Yiyi remained silent, but her face turned somewhat grim, as if she'd been slapped.
She knew it, the Qi Family couldn't be relied on either.
Gu Wenfan looked at them, advising, "I've turned down all of Yiyi's promotions. You should both rest well at home these days, and don't accept that variety show, or the media and netizens won't let you off."
Gu Yiyi paused upon hearing this, somewhat disagreeing.
Not accepting that variety show, being a deserter halfway through!?
Wouldn't that be admitting Gu Zhi's identity, and that she is the fake daughter of the Gu Family!?
"No." Gu Yiyi refused without thinking, "I must go on that show, I won't be laughed at for quitting halfway."
Gu Wenxuan was surprised by this, "The netizens are all watching you now, and you still want to go? It's just a variety show, you can drop it. All these things wouldn't have happened if it weren't for that show."
Gu Yiyi's eyes froze, looking at him incredulously, "Are you saying you plan to acknowledge Gu Zhi's identity, just watching me get doubted online as being fake!?"
Gu Wenfan was taken aback, having nothing to say in response.
Gu Mu suddenly spoke up, "Yiyi has a point, not going would be admitting it. That unfilial girl Gu Zhi didn't even come to see me when I was in the hospital, I just want to slap her face. Make me acknowledge her identity? Impossible!
The real Gu Family daughter is whoever I say it is!!"
Only after hearing this did Gu Yiyi's expression soften.
She couldn't avoid this matter, and avoiding it might lead to her being forgotten in this circle, something she refuses.
Mom is right, the real Gu Family daughter is whoever she says it is.
So what if Gu Zhi is the real daughter? As long as mom and dad don't acknowledge her, the true will become false.
Gu Wenfan glanced at the two of them, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, yet he said nothing more, as he no longer had the energy to deal with this now.
If father and brother still don't come out, the company's problems will only grow more serious.
He couldn't get in touch with Gu Wenlin either, he couldn't even find anyone to come up with solutions together with!
Gu Wenfan was extremely irritable, after asking about Gu Mu's condition and making sure she was okay, he was about to leave.
But suddenly received a call from his assistant, the other party anxiously said, "Lawyer Gu, it's bad. Our law firm is being investigated, the police are already looking for you."
Gu Wenfan's face turned white upon hearing this, his phone slipping directly from his hand to the ground, startling Gu Mu and Gu Yiyi.
Meanwhile, online, there was overwhelming news about him.
Today's revelation: "Rumor has it that Gu Family's second young master, Gu Wenfan, is Gu Zhi's second brother, and as a defense lawyer, he previously handled the contract dispute between Gu Zhi and her former agency. The star lawyer lost the court case at the scene. In retrospect, there are other hidden truths at play here 🤔."
This exposure shocked the gossip-loving netizens even more.
"Whoa!! I used to think he was handsome on the show, a lawyer, a man of integrity, but now it seems he's just abusing power, breaking discipline! As a lawyer, he knows the law and yet breaks it, getting involved in his relative's case!?"
"No wonder, I accidentally saw him fighting a lawsuit against Gu Zhi before and felt something was off, didn't think much back then, but now it seems he lost the case on purpose to help Gu Zhi? That's illegal!"
"Ha, those who criticized the Gu Family, come see for yourselves, hasn't the Gu Family treated Gu Zhi well enough? The second brother intentionally lost the lawsuit to help her, and she still had the audacity to attack the Gu Family on the show?"
"??? Nonsense, earlier Zhi Zhi was misunderstood as seducing him and he didn't even say a word in her defense, and now you say he did it for Zhi Zhi's good? 🤮"
