Chapter 843: Chapter 843: What She Needs is Power
Hou Jinhua, already fuming from her encounter with Qiao Yin, hurried to find Gu Chengqiao to vent her anger, only to have her daughter lash out at her before she could. She didn’t leave her any face!
Hastily, she grabbed Gu Ranxuan’s docunts and water cup and threw them all to the ground, yelling, “How dare you speak to like that? You should be siding with , not standing on so high ground to lecture ! I’m your mother; it’s not your place to teach a lesson!”
Gu Ranxuan watched her water cup crash to the floor and shatter, saw her docunts, which she had spent nights preparing, get drenched and scatter ssily across the ground. Her eyes reddened with emotion.
She worked so hard to prove herself, desperately wanting more real authority. Discriminated against for her gender by the Corporation’s veterans and executives, her mother neither supported nor comforted her but instead smashed her cup and spoiled the negotiation etings she had strived so hard to organize, ruining her materials.
She laughed coldly, “You know you’re my mother? But I feel like you’re my enemy! It took so much effort to secure the collaboration with Shengling Group, yet you recklessly sabotaged the eting! You clearly don’t hope to see do well in the Corporation, do you? What, are you afraid I’m too talented and put your useless son to sha? Worried that if I take control of the Corporation, your son will miss out?”
“Jing is your brother! How can you call your brother trash?! Everything in the Gu Family should rightfully be his; your coveting it is useless!”
“Success is up to us! The Corporation should be handed over to soone capable. With in charge, the Corporation will continue to prosper, and Jing will never lack money. But if Jing takes over, the Corporation will soon decline! Are you out of your mind? Can’t you even understand that simple logic?”
“Exactly, you’re the only capable one, you’re the only one with brains, the only one who can do the math! What does it matter how clear you can calculate? You are still my child, and you must respect ! You have to listen to ! No matter what happens, you should be supportive of , not questioning !”
“Just because you gave birth to , I should listen to everything you say? Should I go mad just because you do? Should I help you destroy the Corporation just because you want to?”
“I am your mother; you are supposed to listen to ! Don’t think that just because you’re becoming influential in the Corporation, you can disregard . Filial piety is the most important duty of a child!”
Gu Chengqiao sat in his chair, his face growing darker as he listened to the mother and daughter’s argunt.
His usual warmth and gentleness had completely vanished, “Shut up, both of you! Xuanxuan, go out and call Lu Lingche right away. Explain to him about your mother interrupting the eting. At all costs, we have to appease him; we must secure this project and not let anyone else benefit from it!”
As soon as Gu Ranxuan heard business matters, she imdiately stood up, her expression regaining its calm, “Alright, I’ll talk to Lu Lingche.”
After speaking, she bent down to collect all the docunts and then left, clutching the damp papers.
She didn’t ask her father what he had done to anger her mother so severely because it wasn’t important to her. What she needed was power, not familial love.
After she left, only Gu Chengqiao and Hou Jinhua remained in the vast eting room.
Gu Chengqiao stood up abruptly, grabbed Hou Jinhua by the collar with a nacing look, and warned, “Hou Jinhua, I warn you, if you dare barge into my eting room or office again, I will break your leg! I can tolerate your other temperants and faults, but if you dare to ss with my Corporation again, I will not let you off easily!”
