After Gu Lingyue heard Gu Feng’s words, she could not hide the disdain in her eyes.
She was not a fool. Although she did not touch the business, she knew that the second branch had been eyeing her covetously, wanting to take away the power of the Butler and take over the leadership of the business.
“Second uncle, my mother has warned me that only our first branch can handle business matters. Since my mother has fallen, of course, I’ll take over. If second uncle really wants to help, then let my second aunt go to my mother’s side to take care of her. Yue ‘er will be very grateful.” Gu Lingyue had been protecting the account book as she spoke, and she had an uncooperative look on her face.
Seeing that Gu Lingyue was not convinced, Gu Feng did not intend to continue beating around the bush and said directly, “Yue’er, don’t blame me for saying this. You are not cut out for doing business. Besides, you’ll be an outsider when you get married in the future. I advise you to listen to my advice. Otherwise, if something really happens, can your first branch bear the responsibility?”
Gu Fengs words caused Gu Lingyue’s expression to change rapidly. She had never been so helpless before and for a moment, she did not know how to respond to Gu Feng.
“Second Master, every family has its own rules. Since the Gu familys rule is that no one other than the eldest branch can look at the account book, I think it’s better to follow this rule.”
After Gu Lingyue heard this voice, the expression on her face changed rapidly. The worry hidden in her eyes was immediately replaced by anticipation as she watched Mu Chengyao walk in from outside the hall.
Gu Feng looked at Mu Chengyao discontentedly and said in a cold tone, “This is a private matter of the Gu family. It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Young Master Mu. Please don’t meddle in other people’s business.”
“What is second uncle saying? Young Master Mu has already been engaged to big sister, and he’s also my brother-in-law. He’s a member of the Gu family, so he naturally has the right to speak.” Gu Lingyue looked at Mu Chengyao and her mind was spinning quickly. “Speaking of which, brother-in-law is also a member of our first branch. I can pass the account book to brother-in-law for him to take a look.”
Mu Chengyao blinked in surprise and frowned at Gu Lingyue.
Gu Lingyue was desperate and she could do anything she wanted. She did not have any better ideas and could only use her eyes to beg Mu Chengyao.
Mu Chengyao saw that Gu Lingyue kept looking at him with a pleading gaze and could only reluctantly say, “I have been doing business with my father and mother since young and am very familiar with the matters of the business field. As long as Second Young Miss does not mind…”
Gu Lingyue looked at Mu Chengyao as if she was looking at her savior. She smiled and said, “Of course, I don’t mind. Brother-in-law, you’ve done me a great favor. Second uncle, brother-in-law is here to help me. You should go back and rest first.”
Gu Feng was so angry that he almost died. After glaring at Gu Lingyue angrily, he got up and left without looking back.
After Gu Lingyue saw Gu Feng leave, she heaved a sigh of relief. “My second uncle is really overbearing. Brother-in-law, thank you for helping mea”
Mu Chengyao met Gu Lingyue’s gaze and smiled even more warmly. “We’re a family, so there’s no need to say such things. Moreover, you’ve been working hard these past two days. My heart aches for you and I want to help you share some of the burdens.”
Gu Lingyue’s heart started to beat uncontrollably. She hurriedly lowered her head to hide the emotions that flashed past her eyes. “Thank you, brother-in-law. Then I’ll hand over the account book to you. I really don’t know anything about this.”
“Since you trust me, I’ll do my best. It’s just that… Aren’t you going to give me some gratitude for helping you like this?” Mu Chengyao looked at Gu Lingyue expectantly and asked..
