Chapter 221

After receiving Qiao Muting's reply, Gu Jianzhang walked down from upstairs.

Hearing the servant call out "Mr. Gu," the three members of the Lin Family immediately looked toward Gu Jianzhang.

In front of Gu Jianzhang, the three of them lost a bit of their momentum.

Especially Lin Bin; he and Gu Jianzhang were only two or three years apart and could be considered peers, but in front of Gu Jianzhang, he felt a head shorter.

"Mr. Gu, we came here this time because we want to talk about you and Xia Xia," Lin Guanda spoke first.

Gu Jianzhang, who had just sat down, was slightly surprised upon hearing this, "About me and Shu Xia?"

He and Shu Xia had only met once; what could there be to talk about?

"Yes, we already know that Shu Xia is acting as your mistress who cannot see the light of day. We weren't aware of this matter before; Shu Xia was afraid of being blamed by us, which is why she intentionally hid it," Lin Bin said hurriedly.

Lin Guanda nodded, "Our family discipline is very strict; we do not allow anyone in the family to do things that destroy other people's relationships. Xia Xia is truly too ignorant. However, it takes two to tango; in this matter, Mr. Gu must have taken the initiative to pursue Xia Xia, right?"

"Xia Xia has always listened to us and is very sensible; she must also be suffering from the condemnation of her conscience while being with you," Chen Xiuyue said.

Gu Jianzhang understood; his handsome face turned cold.

No wonder Qiao Muting said that the Lin Family were not Shu Xia's real relatives and there was no need to give them face.

It was just as expected.

So they had misunderstood his relationship with Shu Xia?

However, he really wanted to know what exactly they wanted by coming to his door.

"State your purpose directly," Gu Jianzhang said in an icy voice.

The three of them looked at each other.

They sensed Gu Jianzhang's cold attitude toward them.

So they also started to feel nervous.

However, they felt they could still give it a try.

Lin Guanda said, "We agree to let Shu Xia be with you, but we hope you can help our Lin Family get through this current crisis."

"Helping our Lin Family is equivalent to helping yourself," Lin Bin said.

Gu Jianzhang understood now; he stood up and said with a cold expression, "You are mistaken; I have no relationship with Shu Xia whatsoever."

Seeing this, Lin Bin immediately took out his phone and showed Gu Jianzhang the photo that Lin Xu had taken earlier.

"With this photo as proof, it can confirm your relationship with Shu Xia."

Gu Jianzhang glanced at the photo; it was a scene of him and Shu Xia eating at a restaurant yesterday at noon.

He didn't expect that someone had actually taken a photo.

What he expected even less was that the people from the Lin Family had come to him to sell out Shu Xia.

No wonder Shu Xia didn't acknowledge them.

A group of wild wolves with ambition but no conscience.

"A photo of me eating with Shu Xia is enough for you to misunderstand? If you continue to pester me, wait for the Gu Family's legal team to talk to you. Attempting to damage my reputation—can your Lin Family bear the consequences?" Gu Jianzhang asked expressionlessly.

All three were stunned.

Especially Lin Guanda and Lin Bin; they hadn't expected Gu Jianzhang's attitude to be so firm.

They had thought Gu Jianzhang wouldn't help them easily, but they hadn't expected that Gu Jianzhang would completely deny his relationship with Shu Xia and even threaten to have his lawyers sue them!

This was a complete reversal of the situation.

"What's true cannot be false, and what's false cannot be true. If you hadn't kept Shu Xia as a mistress, how could Shu Xia have entered Gu Lao's team? You can fool others with your words just now, but you can't fool us at all!" Chen Xiuyue said, extremely anxious.

Hearing Chen Xiuyue question Shu Xia's ability and slander his father's recruitment standards.

A surge of anger rose in his heart.

"Slandering my father again? Your Lin Family has quite some nerve; have you ever asked about our Gu Family in Jing City?" Gu Jianzhang asked.

At the same time, he typed to Qiao Muting, 【The people from the Lin Family are truly pieces of trash. They think I'm keeping Shu Xia as a mistress, and in order to save their own company, they want Shu Xia to continue being with me. They also said that Shu Xia getting into my father's team was because of me. Just how blind are they?】
