Gu Xiuyu pulled the chair beside him in front of him, bent down and sat down, quietly watching Gu Xiukai, who was spewing fragrant words, "I gave you a chance to be free last night, but you didn't cherish it."
He thought he could escape from here, and even bring him down, using the Ye family's influence to make sure he would never have a chance to return to Gu Corporation. He had underestimated his capabilities.
"Father will surely blame you if he knew what you did," Gu Xiukai said whatever came to his mind at this point.
What was easy to say, but the reality was another matter entirely.
Gu Xiuyu threw his head back and laughed at his words, "Father blames me? Did big brother's brain suffer from amnesia? If I recall correctly, Father, who is now lying in bed, ended up this way because of you. If he knew you still wanted to make me disappear from this world, would he still recognize you as his son?"
Old Master Gu was still lying in bed, and his condition had not improved. This was not solely due to Gu Xiukai, but also Gu Xiuyu's actions.
Standing up from the chair, Gu Xiuyu walked towards Gu Xiukai, "Think carefully here for a while and see if you will accept my suggestion or insist on going against me."
"I will never agree to your terms. You will not monopolize everything and control Gu Corporation alone. Do you really think everyone will never know about the bad things you've done? I've already told Ye Ziyu. If she's smart, she'll soon suspect you," Gu Xiukai shouted at Gu Xiuyu's retreating back.
Without his knowledge, things had already changed.
The warehouse door opened, and light flooded in for only a second before being blocked again from the outside. What would happen next was anyone's guess.
Gu Xiuyu squinted his eyes, looking at the taxi that had stopped outside the gate.
Had she decided so quickly?
The taxi door opened, and Ye Ziyu stepped out. She looked at Gu Xiuyu in the yard, took a deep breath, and with a look of resignation, walked towards the entrance of the gate.
"Ziyu," Gu Xiuyu enthusiastically opened the door. "Have you made up your mind?"
Ye Ziyu entered the yard, raised her head indifferently, "Where is the antidote?"
The joy on his face vanished instantly. Gu Xiuyu said with a hurt expression, "You've only just arrived and you're asking me for the antidote. It seems you didn't come here because you like me."
Like him?
Ye Ziyu would never like him in this life, let alone the next.
Ye Ziyu didn't want to say more. She extended her palm in front of him, "Give me the antidote now, and I'll agree to your proposal."
"If I give you the antidote now, what if you go back on your word? You know, I feel very insecure when I'm dealing with you," Gu Xiuyu said, clutching his chest.
Similarly, Ye Ziyu didn't trust him.
"What I can do is you give me the antidote now. Once I see that Di Mingjue is fine, I will fulfill your request. If you are unwilling, I will have to find another way," Ye Ziyu stated her stance firmly in the negotiation.
"Come in first," Gu Xiuyu said.
Now that she was at the Gu residence, she wasn't afraid of him doing anything excessive.
Ye Ziyu lifted her foot and walked towards the living room.
Upon entering the house, Gu Xiuyu immediately turned and went to the kitchen. Standing by the cabinet, he turned back and asked, "Coffee or juice?"
"Plain water," Ye Ziyu replied.
No color, was she afraid he would poison her?
Gu Xiuyu lowered his head and smiled, then poured Ye Ziyu a cup of coffee.
Looking at the liquid in the cup, Ye Ziyu looked at him in confusion.
"Don't worry, I can't bear to poison you," Gu Xiuyu said, sitting down beside Ye Ziyu.
Poison?
He said it so casually, convinced that she could only beg him for the antidote?
