Chapter 27

Kicked Out

Before Gu Dai came out, she had found the person who was helping Gu Ming transfer the company’s funds. She promised him a generous reward as long as he cooperated with her in deceiving Gu Ming, and he agreed without hesitation.

After all, the hacker knew that he was up against a legendary figure in their field—XY. Not only did she not hold a grudge against him for offending her last time, but she was also offering him a generous reward now. The money Gu Ming gave him was not even as much as the deposit Gu Dai paid. He would have to be foolish not to agree.

After Gu Ming learned the news, he approached Liu Min and whispered to her, “I just got a message that the funds transfer overseas are working again. Let’s go along with Gu Dai for now and not make her suspicious or let her investigate us.”

Upon Liu Min heard the good news, her eyes brightened.

Her tone was no longer sharp and harsh; instead, she spoke gently to Gu Dai, “I’m sorry, Daidai, I was too emotional just now. We think the little house next door is quite nice. Your uncle and I will move there now.”

Liu Min began to instruct people to tidy up the house.

However, Liu Min’s expression turned critical again when she was delegating the servants. She pointed at the nearest person and said coldly, “You, help me clean up the house next door, and get a few others to move my things over.”

Seeing Liu Min’s behavior, Gu Dai frowned. She was about to tell the person who had been called not to listen to Liu Min, but when she looked over, she was stunned.

Gu Dai couldn’t believe her eyes, exclaiming in shock, “Uncle Wu!”

“Miss!” Wu Zhen called Gu Dai softly, then quickly turned his head and wiped away the tears streaming down his face.

Wu Zhen still looked familiar, but there were more wrinkles on his face, and his hands had calluses.

How could there be such a big change in just three short years?

Gu Dai couldn’t believe it. Her fierce gaze fell on Gu Ming and Liu Min, demanding, “What is going on here?”

Gu Ming and Liu Min were taken aback, and both were at a loss for words.

Liu Min hesitated before saying, “Isn’t the purpose of having servants to do some work?”

Gu Dai gave Liu Min a cold glance and then said, “But Uncle Wu was specifically hired by my parents as a butler! I think he shouldn’t have to do these tasks, and certainly not to the point of looking so worn and aged, right?”

Gu Dai no longer wanted to waste words with Gu Ming and Liu Min, and directly told Wu Zhen, “Uncle Wu, now that I’m back, I won’t let anyone bully you anymore!”

Gu Dai turned her fierce attitude at Gu Ming and his wife, “I think the two of you should be enough to clean up the house without seeking help from others, right?”

Although Gu Dai was asking, her tone made it more of a statement.

Gu Ming and Liu Min had enjoyed three years of comfort, and they were reluctant to clean up themselves. However, considering the news they had just learned, they had no choice but to endure it.

With gloomy expressions and clenched teeth, Gu Ming and Liu Min still managed to put on a smile and say, “Of course, we have no problem. We can handle it.”

Gu Dai nodded and said, “That’s good. Uncle and aunt, hurry up and move your things. It’s getting late.”

Outside the villa.

Gu Zhi’s head was buried low, her expression sulky as she followed a group of girls, her fingers clenched tightly to the point where they turned pale due to extreme force she applied, cutting off the circulation of blood.

In the past, she would always walk at the front, the center of everyone’s attention. Now, just because her father’s position as chairman had been taken away, everyone seemed to take the opportunity to step on her.
