Chapter 152: Explore New Venture

Gu Mings irritation intensified when he looked at Liu Min.

Liu Min was another thoughtless one, going along with Gu Dais words without even thinking, thus easily giving away a vulnerability.

At this moment, looking at Liu Min and Gu Zhi, Gu Ming felt like slapping them both.

Observing the fury in Gu Mings eyes, Gu Dai felt rather pleased. She said with a smile, Elder Uncle, if you could kindly sort out the items today, please return them to me tomorrow.

Gu Ming opened his mouth and finally said, Its been so long; some things might not be there anymore.

Gu Dai asked with a smile, Were they sold or given away?

Gu Zhi looked at Gu Dai in surprise, not expecting her to guess correctly so quickly. She almost nodded in agreement.

Gu Dai continued, If 1 recall correctly, its illegal to sell someone elses belongings without their consent, right?

Gu Zhis face paled even more. Her nodding stopped abruptly, and she blurted out, You said you wouldnt call the police!

Gu Dai nodded and said solemnly, Indeed, I did say that. So even if you did this, I wont involve the authorities.

Seeing the relief wash over Gu Zhis face, a mischievous glint flashed in Gu Dais eyes. She smiled, However, since Ive suffered a loss, you should compensate me, shouldnt you?

With a frown, Gu Zhi retorted, You have the Gu Group now; youre not lacking money. After you drove me out of the Gu family, 1 was left penniless. Why are you still making my life difficult for me when Im already in such a situation?

Gu Dai chuckled as she repeated, Have the Gu Group? Driven out of the Gu family? Making your life difficult?

Gu Dai lifted her gaze to meet Gu Zhis eyes squarely. Having the Gu Group is natural, as it was founded by my parents, and I am the rightful heir. As for you leaving the Gu family, its because that villa is my home, not yours. Even then, 1 provided you with a place to live in the expensive capital city. So, do you still feel like Im making life difficult for you?

Gu Zhi snorted, as she yelled with her head protruded out. How is it not? Youre even asking for clothes from three years ago!

Gu Dai looked at Gu Zhi, who was defending the indefensible, and said coldly, If you feel that Im being unfair, then lets just call the police.

Frustrated, Gu Zhi retorted, Go ahead and call the police, you think Im scared?

However, the moment Gu Zhi finished her sentence, she was slapped hard across the face by Gu Ming, who wore a sullen expression. Stop this nonsense! If you get arrested, youll have a criminal record and itll be made public. Do you still want a life in the capital?

Gu Zhi, covering her tear-streaked face, didnt dare to utter a word.

Turning to Gu Dai, Gu Ming said with a smile, Daidai, lets discuss this. Please dont call the police.

Gu Dai nodded, I can agree to that. However, Gu Zhi will need to spend some time in the countryside. She can learn about farming, pig-feeding, and chicken-raising as a new venture for the Gu Group.

Gu Zhi was flabbergasted. When she regained her senses, she yelled, I wont go! I cant go to the countryside; there are bound to be weirdos there. Someone as attractive as me would surely meet with misfortune!

Liu Min chimed in, Zhizhi has been pampered since a young age. She cant possibly adapt to such a poor place, let alone farming!

Gu Dai, after hearing both of their objections, scrutinized Gu Zhi and then nodded in agreement. Youre right. Going to the countryside would indeed be a challenge for Gu Zhi.

The sentence made Gu Zhi feel a surge of hope, So 1 dont have to go

Cutting her off, Gu Dai said, How about this? Before you go to the countryside, 111 hire a few bodyguards who are well-versed in rural life. They can not only protect you but also teach you how to adapt. Sounds good, doesnt it?

Gu Zhis hope was dashed.

Even though Gu Zhi was usually a bit slow, she realized at this moment that Gu Dai wasnt planning to protect her but to monitor her. She was being set up to learn these difficult tasks while also ensuring she couldnt slack off!

When Gu Zhi recognized this, she quickly said, I wont go to the countryside.. Aside from calling the police or sending me there, 111 do anything else you ask!
