Chapter 142: Gu Huaiyuan Uses His Son's Good Looks to Seduce the Genius Who Developed an Anti-Cancer Drug

Upon hearing these words from Chu Chen, Lin Jingshu felt as if the deepest pain in her heart had been pricked, and the woman's expression suddenly turned cold and somber: "No need."

Gu Yichen was once Lin Jingshu's pride; he was clever, had a high IQ, and was the most outstanding child she had raised.

The IQ tested by institutions was also that of a genius, far surpassing Chu Chen in the past; when it came to memorizing a long classical poem, others would need to recite it dozens of times to remember it.

Gu Yichen could look at it once and immediately write it out from memory.

Yet, such a brilliant genius youth now fails even a small exam.

The doctor said it might be that he suffered a trauma and has shut himself off, unwilling to learn; the moment he touches a book, he rolls around in pain, screams frantically, and trembles uncontrollably.

This is a mental health issue.

Lin Jingshu had checked Qin Shu's family history; her mother had this type of illness and eventually jumped off a building to commit suicide.

Qin Shu also has a mental illness; she never expected that even Gu Yichen would be unable to escape it.

Lin Jingshu truly regrets it ten thousand times over, wondering why she ever found Qin Shu to be a wife for Gu Tingyan.

If the older one has problems, they will be passed down to the younger one!

Lin Jingshu looked at that perfect-score test paper and sighed softly: "If Chenchen were half as smart as you now, Grandma would be much more at ease."

Chu Chen curled his lips into a smile: "It's okay, Grandma, I will definitely be filial to you in the future."

Hearing this, Lin Jingshu smiled happily; Chu Chen's mouth is sweeter than Gu Yichen's, and he often coaxes her until she is overjoyed.

She didn't know before because there was no comparison, but once compared, a gap formed in her heart.

Lin Jingshu has raised Gu Yichen for so many years, but this child would never say these things she loves to hear to coax her.

Because Chu Chen got a perfect score on his exam, Lin Jingshu gave him a card directly: "Whatever you want to buy, just swipe it."

Chu Chen took the card, ran over happily, and hugged Lin Jingshu: "Thank you, Grandma, Grandma is so good to me, I love you, Grandma."

Lin Jingshu also laughed happily, and the entire living room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Gu Yichen lay on the bed, listening to the happy laughter outside, without a ripple in his heart.

The next day.

Gu Tingyan returned to the country.

He dragged his suitcase out of the airport, and A Zhong had come to pick him up.

The pitch-black, gleaming Maybach drove along the road, speeding past; Gu Tingyan sat in the back seat in a suit and leather shoes, looking at the world outside through the glass window.

It had been four years; he had returned to this place that was both familiar and strange to him.

Gu Group.

Gu Huaiyuan sat on the leather sofa in the chairman's office, tossing a stack of documents in front of Gu Tingyan and Gu Lichuan.

Gu Huaiyuan's expression was serious: "Lynn has joined New Edge Technology Company, you know that, right?"

Who is Lynn? This name has been on the Weibo trending list year-round recently; she researched an anti-cancer drug at a young age, and her sudden emergence shocked the whole world!

This is simply a genius girl!

Gu Lichuan's expression was shocked, and he suddenly looked up: "How could a big shot as impressive as her join New Edge Technology?"

"Shouldn't such talent be directly controlled by the state?"

Gu Huaiyuan folded his hands on the table, his expression serious: "A talent like her must absolutely not be left to wander outside."

"Once she goes to New Edge Technology, it is a threat to all of us."

"Lichuan, you are unmarried and single; you can go and have more contact with this Miss Lynn."

"If you can marry her into our Gu Family, it will be a great help to both you and the Gu Family."

Hearing this, Gu Lichuan raised his peach-blossom eyes slightly, smiled, and joked: "Dad, do you have a photo?"

Gu Huaiyuan: "No."

"Her photos have not been made public, and her identity is confidential."

The smile on Gu Lichuan's face faded: "If she is fat and ugly, I won't be able to bring myself to do it."

Gu Huaiyuan looked at Gu Lichuan with a serious gaze: "Even if you can't bring yourself to do it, you must marry her!"

"Gu Lichuan, I am not joking with you."

"If she takes a fancy to you, that would be best, but even if Lynn is over fifty, old and ugly, you must still marry her and bring her home for me."

Gu Lichuan: "........."

Gu Lichuan could no longer smile, because he felt that Gu Huaiyuan was truly not joking.

Although Gu Lichuan likes to use the beauty trap, he only uses it on beauties; if they are too ugly, he really would be repulsed.

He is a very intense visual-oriented person.

"Dad, really, don't play such jokes on me." Gu Lichuan's mouth twitched.

Gu Huaiyuan answered him very seriously: "Do I look like I'm playing such a joke?"

Gu Lichuan looked at Gu Tingyan beside him: "Let Big Brother go; he is handsome and has a good figure, he is the most liked by women."

Gu Huaiyuan's gaze swept toward Gu Tingyan on the side; his eldest son was indeed very tall, handsome, and had a very good appearance.

Gu Huaiyuan's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "Tingyan, you go and try too."

If Gu Tingyan were to use the male beauty trap, the success rate would certainly be higher than Gu Lichuan's.

"If Lynn takes a fancy to you, the engagement date with the Chu Family will be canceled and changed to yours."

Compared to Lynn, the benefits the Chu Family brings to the Gu Family are far inferior to this Lynn.

Gu Huaiyuan is a very realistic person, thick-skinned, and has low moral standards; except for Gu Laoyezi, who makes him very concerned and whom he values.

He doesn't care at all about how others view him as a person.

He isn't even afraid of others pointing fingers at him.

But if Gu Laoyezi finds out, he will surely be furious; Gu Huaiyuan is most afraid of the old man getting angry and hurting his own health.

Therefore, when doing bad things, he must keep them hidden from Gu Laoyezi.

Upon hearing Gu Huaiyuan's words, Gu Tingyan's handsome face darkened instantly, and a mocking smile appeared on it.

For the sake of profit, Gu Huaiyuan was even willing to let his own two biological sons use their good looks to seduce that woman he had never met.

Gu Tingyan: "Not interested."

Gu Huaiyuan knew his eldest son had a stubborn personality; if he disagreed with sacrificing his looks and angered him, it was also possible he might offend Lynn.

Gu Huaiyuan continued, "She will appear at the welcome banquet of New Edge Technology Company in two days."

"Lynn was able to develop this anti-cancer drug; countless people are scrambling to snatch her up. No matter what methods you use, bring her over," Gu Huaiyuan said in a serious tone.

He looked at Gu Tingyan and said in a low voice, "See if you can recruit such a talent; it doesn't matter how much money it costs."

The value behind this Lynn is in the trillions; she is like a walking international bank, an existence that is absolutely sought after everywhere.

If the Gu Family could possess such a supreme genius, their strength would absolutely crush the Nangong Family!

In the future, the Nangong Family would no longer be on equal footing with their Gu Family, but would have to look to him, Gu Huaiyuan, for approval.

Chu Family.

Chu Xuanming had connections at the top and had received the news in advance; he immediately returned to his office, called Chu Sheng in, and threw a stack of documents in front of her.

"No matter how much money it costs, this Lynn must be recruited to our company."

Chu Sheng flipped through the materials and saw that this Lynn had developed an anti-cancer drug and joined New Edge Technology Company; her heart jolted.

How could such a talent go to another company?

The Chu Family's business was primarily in the pharmaceutical field, and if the anti-cancer drug Lynn developed were to join the Chu Group, the Chu Family would never have to look at the Gu Family's face again in the future.

The Chu Family's net worth would even far exceed that of the Gu Family!
