Chen Man said gently, "Ah Zhen, Zi Tian is still young and outspoken, so don't bother with him. After all, the Gu family and the Su family are related by marriage, so don't let this hurt the relationship."

"Dad said the same thing." Gu Zhen was gentle and businesslike, speaking at a leisurely pace, "Dad also said that even if I'm angry, I'll bring Su Lingzhi here tonight, and for her sake, I'll let this matter go."

Gu Zhen and Su Lingzhi held hands tightly, chuckled and said, "Dad has already asked, so I can't refuse, so I agreed to it. For Lingzhi's sake, let's forget about it, and let the project still be done by the Su family, as long as the Su family treats Lingzhi better in the future. But now... the Su family has severed ties with Lingzhi, so this face doesn't exist, right, Dad!"

Xiang Li, Su Zitian and Su Wan were shocked. The three of them came to celebrate the birthday tonight, and their biggest purpose was to come for the Repulse Bay project. Su Wan had begged Gu Jialiang for this for a long, long time.

Su Wan was very confident. Even if her third brother really spoke without restraint and Gu Zhen terminated the cooperation in anger, as long as she begged Gu Zhen well, he would definitely change his mind.

Gu Xinze didn't know what he talked about with Gu Zhen. He looked extremely unhappy as if his throat was being strangled. "Whatever you say!"

Chen Man was shocked and said softly, "Jialiang and Wanwan are engaged, so the Repulse Bay project is a good deal for us. If the cooperation is terminated, Jialiang... Jialiang will not look good either."

Gu Xinze knew this, and he was disappointed. "Gu Zhen has the final say on the Repulse Bay project. Whoever provokes him will have to deal with the aftermath."

He turned away, and Chen Man was flustered. Having slept in the same bed for many years, she knew Gu Xinze's character very well. If Gu Zhen didn't have something on him, he would never have indulged Gu Zhen like this.

Su Wan said with red eyes, "Brother Gu Zhen, Third Brother already knows he was wrong, so please forgive him. My father and eldest brother are in charge of the Repulse Bay project, and they did nothing wrong."

"If you make a mistake, just apologize and you'll be forgiven. What do we need the police for?" Gu Zhen's eyes were slightly cold, and he smiled gently. "Besides, my words don't count for the Repulse Bay project."

Xiang Li was in a panic. Gu Zhen's interruption of the project had a great impact on the Su family. People in the business world are all shrewd. People who are well-informed have already smelled danger, and several potential projects have fallen through. Su Ming and Su Zisheng were dealing with factory matters abroad and did not have time to come back, but they also knew that something had happened in Jiangcheng.

So many projects were shelved, half of the cash flow wasted, and the bank loan would be rejected. The Su family would be in an irreparable situation. Su Ming asked Xiang Li to ask Chen Man and Director Gu for help to save the project, even if she had to beg. Otherwise, once the news of Gu Zhen's feud with the Su family spread, it would be difficult for them to gain a foothold in Jiangcheng.

Xiang Li and Su Wan were full of confidence and both guaranteed it. After all, there was the relationship between Gu Jialiang and Su Wan. Mr. Gu and Chen Man loved their son and would not tolerate Gu Zhen doing anything too extreme.

Now, Director Gu doesn't care and Gu Jialiang has no say. Xiang Li is furious. Her husband and son will definitely blame her for her poor performance. It is her failure to educate her children that has led to such a disaster.

"Su Zitian, why don't you apologize to Mr. Gu right away!" Xiang Li was furious.

Su Zitian also knew that he was afraid. He, who had always looked down on others, also gave in. "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I was reckless. I accept the beating and punishment. Please don't take your anger out on my family."

Gu Zhen remained indifferent, his dark eyes were as cold as a pond in the light, giving off a strong sense of oppression.

Su Zitian gritted his teeth and said, "At worst, I will kneel down and kowtow to apologize for my crime."

"Gu Zhen, that's enough. Don't be so unreasonable." Gu Jialiang looked cold and felt it was glaring to see Gu Zhen and Su Lingzhi holding hands. "This is my mother's birthday party. Are you trying to embarrass her?"

Chen Man was also a little unhappy. In front of everyone, Gu Zhen was too disrespectful to her son.

"It's up to you!" Gu Zhen took Su Lingzhi's hand and turned to leave.

Xiang Li was anxious, and pulled Su Zitian over to apologize, "We apologize, we apologize, this is Zitian's fault, as long as Mr. Gu can change his mind, you can ask us to apologize in any way you want."

"Really?" Gu Zhen raised the corner of his lips, as if smiling, as if playing with people's hearts.

Xiang Li and Su Zitian both had a bad feeling, but things had come to this point. Even if Gu Zhen forced them to kneel down and admit their mistakes, what could they do?

"I'm a magnanimous person. It doesn't matter if you humiliate me. But I protect my shortcomings. It's not okay for people to humiliate me." Gu Zhen said gently, "Lingzhi, do you want to give them the Repulse Bay project?"

When Su Lingzhi looked at Gu Zhen, she saw the smile in his eyes. No wonder the girl's heart was always moved in an instant. Such a strong and domineering protection, such a determination to be willing to be enemies with the world for you, who can withstand it?

The superiors bend for love, and only take one scoop from the vast ocean. From ancient times to the present, it has always made people fascinated.

She knew it was fake, but she was willing to indulge with him.

Acting is what she is best at.

Xiang Li and Su Zitian turned pale, especially Xiang Li, who looked at Su Lingzhi with shock. She thought Su Lingzhi had a one-sided love for Gu Zhen and was pestering him. Gu Zhen might not even look at her. But Gu Zhen defended her so much at Mrs. Gu's birthday party. Could it be that she...she really caught Gu Zhen's eye?

How can it be!

Gu Zhen has seen all kinds of beauties, so why would he fall for Su Lingzhi?

But he was venting his anger on Su Lingzhi.

Using the most important project of the Gu Group in the second half of the year to vent Su Lingzhi's anger, isn't this love?

Su Wan was so angry that her teeth itched and her nails pierced into her flesh. "Brother Gu Zhen, how can you let Su Lingzhi make the decision for such a big project like Repulse Bay? This is... too much of a joke!"

"Even if something I give you is destroyed, I will take it over." Gu Zhen said calmly, "Ling Zhi is in charge of the Repulse Bay project. She can give it to whoever she wants."

Su Lingzhi, "..."

She was clearly the one chasing someone, so how come he stole her spot?

"This is ridiculous!" Gu Xinze cursed angrily, but he was helpless. He had no way to deal with Gu Zhen.

Shen Yunzhu held her face and said infatuatedly, "For a cold and aloof girl like Mr. Gu to be so desperate for a beautiful woman, it's so cool. I wish I had the skills to control my husband like Su Lingzhi. The Su family is really a disgrace."

Lin Mulai chuckled, "Gu Zhen is really protective of his shortcomings. If I were Su Lingzhi, I would be so happy. You cut off ties with me and abandoned me like a worn-out shoe. In the blink of an eye, I am out of your reach. Even a happy drama wouldn't dare to act like this!"

Xu Wanqing was very generous and discerning. "Lingzhi, the Xu family is also interested in and capable of taking over the Repulse Bay project. Mr. Gu's team has also investigated us. Why not let us do it? Our Xu family will definitely accept your kindness."

"We can also contact our Lin family." A noble lady smiled flatteringly, "Miss Su can also consider our South City Lin family."

In a moment, some wives or daughters of partners came over to interact with Su Lingzhi, flattering her and praising her as the most beautiful woman in the world, and saying that she and Mr. Gu were made for each other. They praised Su Lingzhi so much that she felt as if she was back at her fan meeting, where she was praised to the sky by a group of female fans.

Xiang Li was furious. Su Lingzhi was her daughter, and the Su family should have been the most likely to take over Repulse Bay, but she messed it up.

How to do?

She had just severed her mother-daughter relationship with Su Lingzhi, so how could she bring herself to beg Su Lingzhi? Otherwise, she would become the laughing stock of the entire banquet.
