Chapter 52 There Is a Clear Distinction Between Public and Private Affairs

Gu Qingqing froze for a moment, then she stretched out her hand to grab Li Jinze's sleeve tightly.

"Li Jinze, at this time, you're the only one who can save the Gu Group! Now the Gu Group is in danger, and if the Li Group doesn't lend a hand, what will outsiders think?"

Listening to Gu Qingqing's suggestive words, Li Jinze frowned slowly.

"This attack was obviously targeted at the Gu Group. If you can't find the real attacker, even if I can help you this time, what about next time? Do you want me to help you out of trouble again and again?"

Gu Qingqing could not help trembling at his indifference and coldness.

"Li Jinze, are you really going to leave us in the lurch?"

Li Jinze stretched out his cold hand toward Li Zichen.

In the next second, Li Zichen put his small hand on his cold, large hand.

Li Jinze's face was expressionless, but he felt shocked deep inside.

He held Li Zichen's hand and walked into the room. "You must find the person who framed the Gu Group, otherwise, I won't get involved in this."

After watching Li Jinze and Li Zichen leave, Gu Qingqing clenched her fists tightly.

In order to marry Li Jinze, she had even resigned from her position as General Manager of the Gu Group!

It had been three years! Not only had Li Jinze never touched her, but he was still so cold and indifferent toward her.

In the Li family, she was more like a stranger to him.

Gu Qingqing fell down on the sofa, with a self-deprecating smile on her face.

She had robbed Gu Manman of her future as Li Jinze's wife. What had she gained? Only the title of Mrs. Li! Only the envy of outsiders.

But those outsiders didn't know what kind of life she was living!

She had slept alone in a separate bedroom for three years!

All of this was because of that b*tch, Gu Manman!

Even though she had taken Gu Manman's place, Li Jinze was still skeptical about her identity.

Furthermore, he often stared intently at the handmade bracelet that Gu Manman had left.

If it weren't for Gu Manman, Li Jinze would have fallen in love with her a long time ago!

In Li Zichen's room, while looking at the silent Li Zichen, Li Jinze could not help asking him, "Why don't you ask me why I didn't help your mom?"

Li Zichen gradually put down the book in his hand, the expression on his face quite similar to Li Jinze's.

"Dad, you're right. The person who framed the Gu family is merciless. If they can't find out the identity of that person, they will face more crises in the future. Maybe there will be new enemies."

He raised his eyes and looked at Li Jinze seriously. "If the people of the Gu family are incompetent, they won't be able to find the person behind. If that's the case, they will get into more trouble sooner or later. If Dad easily agrees to help them this time, this will lead to endless trouble."

Hearing Li Zichen's analysis, Li Jinze nodded in satisfaction.

He couldn't help stretching out his hand to rub Li Zichen's head. "Good boy, well done."

Li Jinze opened the door and walked out slowly. "I'm going to the company. The tutor will arrive later, and you must study hard."

Li Zichen immediately stood up and nodded politely to Li Jinze. "Dad, I understand."

Li Jinze strode out of the villa of the Li family with a smile on his face.

His son's ability in management was better than that of the executives in his company.

He thought like a company president.

After Li Jinze left, Li Zichen, who had put on a serious face and acted like an adult, could not help smiling faintly.

He stretched out his two small hands and touched his head, which had just been touched by Li Jinze, his face full of smiles.

Suddenly, the door of Li Zichen's room was kicked open with a bang.

He frowned and slowly took his hand off his head. "Mom, what's the matter?"

Gu Qingqing's face was cold as she sat in front of Li Zichen's desk. Looking at his face, which had the features of Li Jinze and Gu Manman, she found herself full of displeasure and anger.

She raised her hand, wanting to scratch Li Zichen's face instinctively, which was perfectly handsome.

She and Gu Manman were twins, and they looked almost identical from a distance. Li Zichen's appearance combined the features of Li Jinze and Gu Manman, so naturally, he closely resembled Gu Qingqing.

But Gu Qingqing knew that they were different!

This kid was definitely not hers!

Gu Qingqing's hand with long nails gently touched Li Zichen's face, but she did not scratch him.

Li Zichen stood still without moving. Although Gu Qingqing's expression made him a little scared, he still did not step backward.

Gu Qingqing reached out her hand and grabbed Li Zichen's shoulder. She tried her best to force a stiff smile.

"Li Zichen, tell me, have you ever regarded me as your mother?"

Upon hearing Gu Qingqing's words, Li Zichen froze for a while. "What are you talking about, Mom? Of course you're my mother. How can I not regard you as my mother?"

Gu Qingqing was surprised by his words and then loosened her hand that had grasped Li Zichen's shoulder. "So you should persuade your father to help the Gu family get through this crisis, okay?

"You are also a part of the Gu family!" she added.

Li Zichen took a few steps back. He could figure out which family was more important.

Besides, he had the same opinion as his father. If the Gu family couldn't handle it properly, Li Jinze would never get involved in this trouble.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I agree with Dad. If you can find out the person who framed the Gu family, you will naturally get through this crisis. If you can't find that person, Dad won't be able to lend a hand, let alone a child like me."

She slapped Li Zichen across his face.

She slapped him so hard that it left a shocking palm print on his white, tender face.

Gu Qingqing slowly withdrew her hand, feeling extremely happy in her heart.

For a long time, she had wanted to slap Gu Manman's child.

"Li Zichen, I spent nine months pregnant with you! But your heart is not with me. I am really disappointed."

Gu Qingqing should have said it in an extremely sad and angry tone. But instead, she sounded very frivolous and happy.

Li Zichen lowered his eyes and nodded to Gu Qingqing politely. "There is a clear distinction between public and private affairs. Mom, I'm sorry."

Although he said it politely, Li Zichen became even more indifferent.

Shaking her head, Gu Qingqing finally slammed the door and left.
