Chapter 784: Killing someone with a borrowed knife
Due to the strong cold air, the temperature in Yanjing dropped sharply at night, and heavy snow fell in the sky.
Ye Chen received a push notification on his mobile phone, saying that Yanjing had issued a blue warning for heavy snowfall from tonight to tomorrow day.
Ye Chen wore single clothes and stepped out of the balcony of the guest room. All he could think about was his parents.
Tomorrow, I will go to visit my parents' graves.
This matter had been left in his mind for eighteen years, and every time he thought about it, it felt like a lump in his throat.
Just when he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard Gu Qiuyi's voice: "Brother Ye Chen, aren't you cold if you wear so little?"
Ye Chen looked back and saw that Gu Qiuyi had entered the room and arrived at the balcony door.
Gu Qiuyi hurriedly explained: "Sorry, brother Ye Chen, I knocked on the door just now, but no one answered, so I pushed the door open and came in by myself."
Ye Chen smiled slightly and nodded lightly: "It's okay, why are you so polite to me?"
Suddenly, two red clouds appeared on Gu Qiuyi's pretty face.
She walked up to Ye Chen and asked him: "Brother Ye Chen, were you thinking about something just now?"
Ye Chen nodded: "I'm thinking about something from the past."
Gu Qiuyi touched his hand gently, then held him without letting go, and said gratefully: "Brother Ye Chen, my father's condition is all thanks to you. Thank you for saving his life!"
Ye Chen said sincerely: "Nanny, Uncle Gu is my father's good brother and an elder I respect. I can't just watch him become seriously ill because of emotion and reason. It's okay if I don't have the ability. Since I have this
Ability, of course, is to save him."
"Well!" Gu Qiuyi nodded heavily and said, "Brother Ye Chen, how long can you stay in Yanjing this time? You won't accompany my father after the board meeting tomorrow and clean the grave of Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye.
, are you going back?"
Ye Chen said: "I have some personal matters the day after tomorrow, and I will go back after finishing my work."
Gu Qiuyi's expression suddenly felt regretful and sad. She raised her head, looked at him with clear and eager eyes, and asked: "Brother Ye Chen, can't you stay a few more days? It's almost the New Year now, how about you?"
Just spend the New Year at my house and then leave?"
Ye Chen sneered: "There are still about twenty days until the Chinese New Year. If I don't go back, I won't be able to explain to your sister-in-law."
Gu Qiuyi's pretty face said angrily: "I don't admit that she is my sister-in-law, and you are not really my brother. You are my fiancé since I was a child!"
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Okay, whatever you say will be whatever it is."
Gu Qiuyi suddenly felt a little disappointed and thought to herself: "Every time I chat with Ye Chen, he always reminds me in various ways that he is married! But doesn't he know that the fate of parents is greater than heaven? At least for me
I’ve been telling myself this for so many years, why can’t he be like me?”
Thinking of this, Gu Qiuyi couldn't help but sigh, held Ye Chen's hand, couldn't help but exert some strength, and said with a bit of sadness: "Brother Ye Chen, you are the young master of the Ye family, and you are so capable, Xiaoxiao
Jinling in Jinling cannot tolerate you, and sooner or later you will have to return to Yanjing."
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment and said calmly: "If you can't come back, let's talk about it later."
...
That night, Ye Chen had a ridiculous dream.
In the dream, his parents had not passed away. He was still the young master of the Ye family, and he had grown up. He was attracting the attention of many people in Yanjing and could influence everything.
In the dream, he was wearing a decent suit, carrying the groom's corsage, and leading a luxury motorcade to the Gu family's large villa.
In the villa, Gu Qiuyi was wearing a holy white wedding dress, sitting on the bed in her boudoir, looking at herself with a smile like a flower.
Later, a group of young men and women whom he did not know encouraged him to look for Gu Qiuyi's red shoes everywhere.
When he found Gu Qiuyi's red shoes and helped her put them on, the scene immediately flashed to the wedding scene.
The wedding in the dream was grand to the extreme.
Ye Chen's parents were both there, with happy and kind smiles on their faces.
When the wedding music sounded, Gu Yanzhong took Gu Qiuyi's hand, walked up to him, and handed Gu Qiuyi's hand to him with a smile.
Afterwards, the two said their wedding vows, exchanged wedding rings, and kissed each other.
Then, the master of ceremonies asked Gu Qiuyi to turn her back to the bridesmaid and throw out the bouquet.
However, the one who grabbed the bouquet was Xiao Churan!
When Xiao Churan grabbed the bouquet, she didn't look happy at all. On the contrary, her expression was very resentful...
Ye Chen met her eyes and couldn't help but trembled. He suddenly opened his eyes and realized that it was just a dream.
He was shocked by the absurdity of his dream, and was stunned for several minutes before he gradually came back to his senses.
Seeing the sky outside the window getting brighter, he sighed, got up, washed himself, and walked out of the room.
Downstairs, Lin Wanqiu was preparing breakfast with the servants.
Gu Yanzhong had already gotten up early and was sitting in the living room in good spirits, holding a cup of coffee and reading this morning's latest newspaper.
Not many people still like to read newspapers these days.
Gu Yanzhong is one of them.
Seeing Ye Chen coming downstairs, he immediately smiled and waved to him, and said with a smile: "Chen'er, come here!"
"Okay Uncle Gu." Ye Chen responded and walked over.
On the sofa, Ye Chen sat next to Gu Yanzhong.
Gu Yanzhong handed him the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile: "Look at the front page."
Ye Chen took the newspaper and looked at the front page headline. There was a line of big words on it: "The chairman of the Gu Group is critically ill, and the trillion-dollar group may be leaderless."
Ye Chen couldn't help but frowned and said, "Isn't this newspaper's words too irresponsible?"
Gu Yanzhong smiled slightly and said: "This must be the fault of my two younger brothers. They first spread the news that I was critically ill, and then made investors and the market lose confidence in Gu Group, causing securities institutions to lower their stock price and expectations for Gu Group."
Performance expectations, as a result, the stock price of Gu Group will inevitably fall."
As he said that, Gu Yanzhong looked at his watch and said with a smile: "It's half past eight now, and the market will open in an hour. By then, the stock prices of all listed companies under the Gu Group will definitely plummet, or even hit the limit."
Ye Chen couldn't help but frown: "Uncle Gu, they are also shareholders of the Gu Group. If they do this, won't they lose their own interests?"
Gu Yanzhong shook his head and smiled: "For major shareholders, it doesn't matter if the stock price drops a little."
With that said, Gu Yanzhong explained: "Look, if the stock price drops due to the news that I am seriously ill, the most anxious people are retail investors and small shareholders. Seeing that their money has become less, they will definitely use various channels to
express dissatisfaction;”
"And the stock price fell because I was seriously ill. I must be responsible for this. So when the time comes, they can better incite other shareholders to force me to give up my position, because now the market is not confident about me, and only
I gave up my seat and they could breathe a sigh of relief."
"Once they successfully achieve their goal and kick me out of the board of directors, the stock price will rise back in time, so there will be basically no actual loss for them. This move is called killing someone with a borrowed knife."
