Chen Shuo silently raised his guard in his heart, but Father Gu obviously had no intention of starting negotiations immediately.

In this situation, whoever speaks first is the one who wants something and can easily be exploited and taken advantage of.

So Chen Shuo saw that it seemed like he couldn't get to the point for a long time, so he didn't rush and just started eating.

Although Father Gu and Gu Siyi were a little disappetized, the restaurant they chose was indeed quite good.

Chen Shuben loves this kind of food, and the restaurant chef has brought out the characteristics of each ingredient to the fullest, making his mouth water just by smelling it.

Chen Shuo's slightly anxious mood was also cured by the food. He moved calmly and looked like he came here specifically to eat.

Gu Siyi was anxious. After eating a few bites, he couldn't help but wanted to speak, but was pinched hard by Gu's father under the table.

Gu Siyi's face twisted for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. She didn't say anything and wasn't noticed by Chen Shuo who was concentrating on enjoying his food.

Chen Shu, who had eaten and drunk his fill, was in a much better mood. Father Gu keenly noticed the change in the aura around Chen Shu and spoke cheerfully:

"Long time no see, Chen Shu."

Chen Shuo raised his guard: "It's been a long time, Mr. Gu."

"Why are you being so polite? I've always treated you as my own daughter. If you don't call me dad, then you can at least call me uncle?"

"You're joking." The statement was made indifferently, without any intention of asking further questions.

Father Gu sighed heavily in an exaggerated manner:

"Hey - why don't you call for help? You are so old but still don't know what's going on. Just like Chen Shuo, who won major awards at home and abroad at a young age, you are the one who causes trouble for me."

Gu Siyi reacted and could speak: "Chen Shu, long time no see, how have you been these days?"

Chen Shu sneered: "Are you reminding me of something?"

Gu Siyi opened her mouth, a little annoyed: "That's not what I meant..."

Father Gu took over the conversation with a smile: "The hot weather does make people more irritable. Do you want to have some tea first?"

Chen Shuo began to get impatient: "No need, I don't like tea."

Father Gu stopped when he saw that things were going well. He knew how bad Chen Shu's temper was. If he continued to go around in circles, he might rather cause trouble than come over to negotiate again:

"I am old too. This world still belongs to the young."

"My energy is not as good as before. Sooner or later, I will retire and hand over Gu's to Gu Siyi."

"Dad..." Gu Siyi was a little touched, "Don't say such things, you will definitely live a long life!"

Father Gu patted Gu Siyi's arm comfortingly.

Chen Shuo didn't have the patience to watch these two people perform the "deep father-son love" drama in front of him:

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Father Gu coughed lightly and finally got to the point:

"I'm old too, and the one I'm most worried about is Gu Siyi. This guy has someone hidden in his heart, and he can't live without her. I'm afraid he'll still be single after I die."

The statement is crossed chest, which is a very common gesture of defense and disapproval:

"So what? What does this have to do with me?"

Father Gu smiled kindly:

"Silly child, the person Gu Siyi likes is you... I recognized you as my daughter-in-law from the beginning. It was my wife who acted on her own initiative and made a mistake by hiding the child between me and Gu Siyi."

"What's more, you saved Gu Siyi and are his savior. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you."

Listening to these extremely hypocritical words, Chen Shu felt a sense of nausea spreading from the bottom of his heart:

Not to mention that Father Gu pushed all the blame onto Mother Gu, the sentence “concealed…” was definitely false. How could he, a shrewd person in charge of the Gu family, be completely clueless about such a big thing?

Why didn't Gu's father conduct a thorough investigation into the matter that almost threatened Gu Siyi's life, and let Gu's mother successfully conceal the truth of the matter?

She doesn't believe such insincere lies!

She had figured out that Father Gu came here this time to test her attitude, and he didn't come with sincerity at all!

"Enough? I'll leave if nothing else."

Gu Siyi lost his temper: "Chen Shu! Aren't you afraid of those lawyers' letters?!"

"So this matter is indeed related to you!" Chen Shuo's eyes became sharp and pierced straight at Gu Siyi.

Gu Siyi had discussed the conversation with his father in advance, and he was not afraid at all at this moment:

"One of them is from our Gu family, so of course he has a relationship with us."

"In fact, the moment we knew about the leak of the confidential documents, we activated the emergency plan, so there was not much damage. As long as you are with me, we can withdraw the lawsuit!"

The truth was just that the time for launching the emergency plan was blurred. Because it was a self-directed and self-acted drama, the emergency plan was immediately launched after the leak to minimize the losses.

In order to control Chen Shuo, Gu's father has spent a lot of money, but it is reasonable. After all, Chen Shuo is very likely to be an important factor that determines whether Gu's company can continue to move forward.

As for the hacker, what he did was real. The other two lawyers' letters were just confusing items used to distract Chen Shu and Fu Chaoge's attention. This was the most important thing.

Because they are all "true", even if the statements are not involved in the final judgment, this alone is enough to make many companies begin to fear or even resist cooperating with the statements.

Not only does it force Chen Shuo to stay in a fixed comfort zone, it also gives her an extra handle that can be used by Gu!

Chen Shuo looked at Gu Siyi as if he was looking at unrecyclable garbage:

"I knew you were stupid, but I didn't expect you to be this stupid. This is the first time I've seen someone pursue someone by threatening them."

"This will only make me find you disgusting and hate you even more!"

Gu Siyi gritted her teeth and made a face that made the statement nauseating:

"It doesn't matter. Sooner or later, you will be conquered by me. As long as you marry me, all my wealth will be available to you. When the time comes, we will have a child, and both boys and girls will be raised as heirs..."

Before the baby came out, Gu Siyi was already caught up in her own fantasy, and the only thing missing was to figure out what school her child would go to.

Chen Shu was disgusted with this kind of self-righteous behavior of talking to herself and deciding everything. She began to regret why she came here today. She ended up having her ears filled with dirty stuff and she didn't want her ears anymore.

Seeing Chen Shuo leaving without even saying goodbye, Father Gu said:

"Chen Shu, think carefully. If we don't withdraw the lawsuit, your peak achievement will probably be those two awards."

Chen Shu snorted coldly, and then thought of Gu Siyi's previous hiring of mercenaries to kidnap him, so he decisively turned around and threatened:

"Even if it goes as you wish, you can continue to use the same method to attack me. Rather than being controlled by others for the rest of my life, I would rather die with my own hands! Gu's... isn't particularly clean, is it?"
