Chapter 30: A Passerby in a CEO Romance Novel (3)
Jiangcheng is starting to get chaotic.
The Gu family, the Shen family, and the You family began to clash.
The powerful and wealthy elites were all watching this chaotic struggle with a mixture of surprise and delight.
What's surprising is the power struggle between the Gu, Shen, and You families; what's delightful is that they've completely broken off relations.
The Gu and Shen families are top-tier families in Jiangcheng, while the You family is slightly weaker, but still surpasses other wealthy families.
The fact that these three companies are fighting each other may affect them to some extent, but it could also be a great opportunity.
The powerful and influential are now watching and waiting to see if there's a suitable opportunity to step in. If they can bring the Gu, Shen, and You families down from their pedestals, the benefits will be enormous.
The commotion in Jiangcheng also prompted Mr. and Mrs. Gu, who had long since retired and traveled the world, and Mr. and Mrs. Shen to rush back to Jiangcheng.
"Gu Yunting! What on earth are you doing?!"
In the old Gu family mansion, Gu Yunting knelt on the ground. His parents, who were in their fifties but well-maintained and looked like they were in their forties, sat upright in chairs, looking angrily at their unfilial son below.
Father Gu trembled with rage. He pointed at Gu Yunting and demanded, "What deep-seated hatred do you have with the Shen and You families?!"
Gu's father was truly furious. The three families had been friends for decades, dating back to his father's generation, and had always been closely connected.
He grew up with Lao Shen and Lao You, Yun Ting and Mu Bai were childhood friends, and Wenwen was their future eldest daughter-in-law. With such deep affection, how could they have started fighting?
"Let me tell you, Gu Yunting, if you don't give me an explanation, I'll call in the family discipline right now, and I'll beat you to death!"
Mr. Gu slammed his fist on the table in anger, while Mrs. Gu remained silent, though she looked at Gu Yunting with disapproval.
She was good friends with Mu Bai's mother and also had a good relationship with Wenwen's mother. How could she bear to see the children fighting like ants?
Gu Yunting knelt upright, showing no remorse whatsoever. Instead, his expression was cold. After his father finished speaking, he sneered, "They stole my girlfriend. Can't I fight back?"
"...What the heck?"
Mr. and Mrs. Gu looked at each other, no longer angry, but wondering what they had overheard.
After a moment of silence, Gu's father stammered, "You, explain yourself clearly, what do you mean by 'they stole your... girlfriend'?"
No, when did his youngest son start dating?
And he even got his girlfriend stolen?
...Wait a minute, them?!
"Hey Yunting, are you referring to Mu Bai and Wenwen when you say 'them'?"
Mr. Gu's eyelids twitched, and he deeply doubted whether he had misheard or misunderstood.
It's one thing for Mu Bai to snatch it, but why did Wenwen have to get involved?
Gu's mother gripped Gu's father's arm tightly, just as doubtful of life as he was.
Gu Yunting wasn't worried at all about his parents' values collapsing. He said coldly, "I just started dating a girlfriend, and You Wenwen and Shen Mubai have both tried to steal her away from me."
"If they can't break down the wall, they resort to kidnapping and hiding my girlfriend. If I don't take action against the Shen and You families, where am I supposed to find my girlfriend?"
Seeing their son's furious eyes, Mr. and Mrs. Gu looked at each other and then felt a wave of dizziness wash over them.
"No way, why would Wenwen steal your girlfriend?! Isn't she a girl?!"
Gu's mother completely broke down. She really couldn't accept that her future eldest daughter-in-law was fighting with her youngest son for his wife. This kind of thing was even more outrageous than the melodramatic soap operas she watched.
Mr. Gu patted his wife's hand reassuringly, signaling her to calm down, before organizing his thoughts and looking at Gu Yunting, saying, "Get up."
"I'm asking you, are you sure it was those two... who stole your girlfriend?"
Gu Yunting nodded indifferently, "Confirmed."
Although neither of them admitted it, and even thought that he was the one crying wolf.
But he found out that the people who initially kidnapped Le Yan were Jiang Wandie and her brother, who had been driven out of Jiangcheng by him but had secretly returned. Shen Mubai tracked them down, but they escaped.
Meanwhile, You Wenwen blocked the way, kidnapped Le Yan, and then threw the Jiang siblings to feed the fish.
Later, Shen Mubai also got stuck on the road, crashed into You Wenwen's car, and kidnapped Le Yan.
However, Shen Mubai also said that he had been hit by a car, and Le Yan had been taken away by someone, so she was not with him.
Gu Yunting could only believe half of what Rong Jing said, mainly because he noticed that Rong Jing hadn't made any move.
If what Shen Mubai said is true, then it is very likely that Rong Jing was the one who made the final move.
Because anything is possible, Gu Yunting is now multitasking, targeting the Shen and You families on one hand, and tracking the Rong family of Haicheng on the other.
As for the group's affairs...
"Dad, it's good that you're back. You can go back to work now. I need to find my girlfriend."
The most important thing is getting his girlfriend back; as for work and such, his dad can handle it.
Mr. Gu was speechless at his self-righteous attitude, and he couldn't stop coughing, "Cough cough... you... cough cough..."
He doesn't object to me finding a girlfriend, but what's with asking me to go back to work?
"You're dreaming! I finally retired, there's no way I'm going back to work!"
"Then you should leave my plans to target the Shen Group and the You Group alone."
Gu Yunting calmly looked at his father and gave him two choices: either ignore him or go back to work in his place.
Father Gu was so angry that his hands trembled. He almost couldn't catch his breath and slammed his hand on the table again: "You unfilial son!"
Gu's mother spoke quietly: "Yunting, it's your business if you find a girlfriend, and I won't interfere. But you should also remember the relationship between our families and not go too far."
Ultimately, her son was more important. Gu's mother didn't stop Gu Yunting from continuing to target Shen Mubai and You Wenwen, but she advised him to be mindful of his actions and not to go too far.
Gu Yunting remained noncommittal. He lowered his eyes slightly, concealing the turmoil within them, and simply said, "I cannot guarantee that."
If the other side's wolfish ambitions remain undiminished, then the only option left is to fight to the death.
"This..." Gu's father and mother frowned and looked at each other, but in the end they could only let him go.
"Go on, go on, go do your own thing."
Exhausted, Gu Yunting was driven out of the old house. After a while, Gu's parents sighed and felt a headache coming on.
After thinking for a moment, Gu's mother suggested, "How about... we call Old Shen and the others over for a chat?"
Since it's a child's emotional dispute, it's better to let them fight it out themselves and avoid involving family relationships.
Mr. Gu nodded in agreement, "That makes sense."
Then, Mr. and Mrs. Shen, who were equally furious, and Mr. and Mrs. You, who were already prepared, all gathered at the Gu family's old house.
"Sigh—" Mr. Shen sighed deeply, "My son's scoundrel said he only loves Yun Ting's girlfriend, he's determined to steal her away."
Thinking about what he overheard while talking to that wretched child, Mr. Shen wished he could wash his ears.
The idea that "the one who isn't loved is the third party," and that "dating doesn't mean marriage; you can get divorced, or even become a widow"...
He strongly suspected that Shen Mubai was mentally ill.
What kind of lunatic is this? Is he really his son?
Could it have been switched?!
