Chapter 132: Qin Shu's Funeral

Gu Huaiyuan glared at Lin Jingshu and said coldly, "Are you truly not afraid that Tingyan will hate you to death?"

Gu Huaiyuan knew she was not a good person, but he had not expected that sometimes Lin Jingshu would act so ruthlessly and brainlessly.

"Qin Shu just died, and Tingyan didn't accept Chenchen to begin with; you brought the child home—are you trying to force your own biological son to his death as well!" Gu Huaiyuan retorted in a low, angry voice.

"Is that how you act as a mother?"

Lin Jingshu's face turned slightly pale: "I was just saying it."

Gu Huaiyuan was so angry his chest ached; he looked at Lin Jingshu and said furiously, "Put away those incredibly stupid ideas of yours!"

"Don't hold me back!"

He truly had not expected that Lin Jingshu, who was once a woman with great business acumen and skill, clever and capable—a woman everyone praised him for marrying as a perfect wife—would become this way.

Gu Huaiyuan had once been quite proud of her himself, but he never expected that after so many years of marriage, she would end up with such a stubborn and paranoid personality.

Gu Huaiyuan did not like Qin Shu, but he would not bring it to the surface; she was just a woman, and he disdained to bicker with a woman, at most letting Qin Shu realize the difficulty and retreat, leaving the Gu Family on her own.

Not taking a person's life.

Gu Huaiyuan had covered for Lin Jingshu time and time again, and each time he discovered more just how terrifying the person sleeping beside him was.

If one day he were to provoke Lin Jingshu, he feared he would lose his life.

"Starting from today, we will live separately for a period of time."

After Gu Huaiyuan said this, he thought of something; he had an illegitimate son outside, and if Lin Jingshu were to find out, she would likely not tolerate that mother and child.

She was so ruthless even to her own daughter-in-law; she would likely deal a lethal blow to that mother and child as well.

Only at this very moment did Gu Huaiyuan begin to face the threat Lin Jingshu posed, absolutely certain that this woman was terrifying.

His expression changed slightly, and he lifted his feet to walk quickly outside, leaving Lin Jingshu behind.

Was this a separation from her?

Separation between a husband and wife was absolutely a major taboo.

Lin Jingshu's face changed abruptly; she stood where she was, watching Gu Huaiyuan's retreating back, not understanding why.

"Gu Huaiyuan, don't you regret this!" Lin Jingshu watched her husband's departing back, her whole body trembling with anger.

However, Gu Huaiyuan did not even turn his head when he heard this; what he needed to do now was figure out how to cut Lin Jingshu out of the Gu Family.

When the Gu Family and the Lin Family first married, Lin Jingshu held a certain amount of shares and also possessed a certain degree of influence in the company.

In the early days after graduating from university, Lin Jingshu had indeed helped him a great deal in his career; she was clever and capable, and the Gu Family had grown step by step in their hands.

Gu Huaiyuan sat in the car, thinking of Lin Jingshu as a bomb that could go off at any moment, and rubbed his forehead in a headache.

He needed to marginalize Lin Jingshu as soon as possible; otherwise, if this woman found out the truth and went crazy, she would take him down with her.

"Drive."

"Go to the group headquarters."

Gu Huaiyuan looked at the driver in front and said in a cold voice.

"Yes, Chairman."

The news of Qin Shu's death still reached the ears of Gu Laoyezi.

Upon hearing that Qin Shu was gone, Gu Laoyezi almost lost his breath and only recovered after taking blood pressure medication.

Gu Yichen sat in his wheelchair, stopped at the doorway, and his mind went blank upon hearing the news in the room.

He looked at the room, which had descended into chaos, with the family doctor performing emergency treatment on his grandfather and the servants handling things in a flurry, and his small face turned pale.

Gu Laoyezi sat on the sofa, gasping for air, crying with tears streaming down his face: "It is our Gu Family that failed her."

The old man cried heavily: "My Huahua, Huahua."

Gu Yichen looked up at the butler beside him, his lips trembling: "Grandpa Butler, did I cause Mom to die?"

The corners of Gu Yichen's eyes were red, his voice hoarse: "She left sadly that day; it must be because she was upset by my words."

The butler's eyes were slightly red as he looked at the little young master before him, feeling only that he was pitiful: "It has nothing to do with you, Little Young Master."

If they hadn't been born into the Gu Family, this mother and child would not have been separated like this.

Fate, oh, fate.

Tears flowed from the corners of Gu Yichen's eyes, and he whispered: "I don't have a mom anymore."

The butler immediately hugged him, feeling deeply distressed himself, as the little person in his arms cried uncontrollably.

Qin Shu's funeral was held at the Gu Family residence.

When it came down to it, Gu Huaiyuan still felt a bit indebted to this daughter-in-law, so he was willing to spend money to hold a grand and glorious funeral for Qin Shu.

Several familiar people from the entertainment industry came, as did representatives of the elite from all walks of life in Beijing—all people Qin Shu had never met in the past, and who had looked down on her status.

No one had expected that Qin Shu would be the daughter-in-law of the Gu Family.

Those who had offended Qin Shu in the past suddenly felt fortunate.

It was lucky that Qin Shu was dead; otherwise, wouldn't she have taken revenge on them?

When Qin Shu was alive, she had never seen so many big figures, but when she died, she never expected that this group of people would all come.

Gu Huaiyuan and Lin Jingshu stood at the entrance in black clothes to receive guests, and the Gu Family's eldest sister-in-law also stood on the other side, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes while speaking with guests.

She looked as if she had a very deep affection for Qin Shu, even sadder than Lin Jingshu, the mother-in-law.

Those who didn't know would have thought that Qin Shu had a very good relationship with her.

This group of people in the Gu Family were none of them kind; for a girl like Qin Shu, who had no maternal family to protect her and no background, surviving among these wolves and tigers was very difficult.

Professor T entered the Gu Family's door for the first time and also came to offer a stick of incense for Qin Shu. This was his first time stepping into the Gu Family's home.

He did not look at Lin Jingshu once, only conversing with the Gu Family's eldest sister-in-law, Zhuang Xinyue, regardless of whether this woman was crying fake tears or was sincere.

The two chatted casually for a few sentences and saw Gu Laoyezi and the child Qin Shu had given birth to.

Professor T looked at Gu Yichen's features; this little boy looked exactly like Gu Tingyan inside and out, which made him feel extremely displeased.

He only took one look before withdrawing his gaze and spoke with Gu Laoyezi for a while, while Gu Huaiyuan stood to the side without being able to get a word in.

Afterwards, Professor T took Xie Jin and left.

Professor T's voice was cold: "That child, just let him stay at the Gu Family."

"The Nangong Family cannot afford to raise him."

Professor T's expression was icy: "He was raised by Lin Jingshu since he was small, and looking at him, he doesn't seem like someone who would side with his own biological mother."

After learning that Qin Shu was his niece, Professor T had investigated the Gu Family inside and out, and had investigated Qin Shu's entire upbringing from childhood to adulthood.

"Yes, Second Uncle," Xie Jin said in a low voice.

On the day of Qin Shu's funeral, the Chu Family also came to put on a show; on the way back, Chu Xuanming and Chu Sheng's car was cut off by a group of people.

A dispute broke out between the two sides; Chu Xuanming's leg was broken, Chu Sheng's hand was broken, and her face was slashed to pieces.

With both hands covered in blood, she covered her face, trembling all over, screaming in fear and panic: "Ahhh, my face, my face!"
