Had she bought Dacheng Communications?

Mu Zong’s head went blank from shock, feeling dizzy as he tried to process the information that Gu Xiqiao told him. Even though Dacheng was just a medium scale enterprise, but it had already started to build itself up as a renowned company in N City… Was it bought by her just like that?

Wang Bo was stunned by this revelation too, and while he hadn’t the slightest idea how this sort of thing worked, he was certain that it wasn’t as easy as Gu Xiqiao made it sound.

Seeing their reaction, Gu Xiqiao knocked at the table and told them the reason why she came to them, “Make it so that the Gu Enterprise knows about this software, I don’t care how. I’ll give you the phone number for a manager with the surname Xu, he’s someone we can use to our advantage.”

This manager was quite well respected in Gu Enterprise but had always had been vying for the spot at the top of Gu Enterprise. In the past life, Gu Zuhui was quite troubled by this man, but Gu Xiqiao had ultimately dealt with him along with all of the problems the Gu family had faced.

If the software were sent to this man, he would use it to his advantage, and by extension cause the Gu family quite a lot of trouble.

She had never thought of causing the Gu family any trouble because Gu Zuhui was her biological father, but since he didn’t seem to think so, then all the bets were off the table!

If she so wished, she would even be able to help another person onto the position of the head of the Gu family!

Of course, she didn’t want to ruin the entire Gu family. She couldn’t well destroy the efforts of many generations of the Gu family with a good conscience, and cause many families that worked in the company to go without a job. Now that she had been reborn, she started to have more hopes for her life.

The Gu family barely caused a ripple in her plans!

The three of them talked for a little more before Gu Xiqiao glanced at her phone, realizing that it was already close to dinnertime. Although she wasn’t on a curfew, Mrs. Zhang would wait for her if she went back late, and Jiang Shuxuan would probably do so too.

“Let me send you home, it’s inconvenient for a girl to go home this late,” Mu Zong volunteered.

Gu Xiqiao didn’t refuse, and Mu Zong sent her back to the mansion that was quite nearby. Mu Zong parked the car and waited for Gu Xiqiao to enter the gates before Wang Bo finally broke out of his stupor. “How much money would she need to buy a mansion here? No wonder she could give you all that money!”

“Do you know the Gu family?” Mu Zong started up the car and drove away.

“I don’t live under a rock, you know…” Wang Bo trailed off, before a spark connected in his brain. “She’s from the Gu family?”

Mu Zong didn’t reply, only driving towards the hospital without a word. When they arrived, he finally breathed a sigh, before speaking, “Something happened to Gu Enterprise lately, you can go check out the news… All I can say is that I feel stressed.”

The Gu family was renowned in N City, and he only had an understanding of it due to the recent events that were broadcast on the news.

So Gu Xiqiao was the illegitimate daughter of the Gu family? What if the Gu family tried to get into trouble with them too?

“Say…Do you think that rich kid from earlier today can measure up to the Gu family?” Wang Bo searched up the news on her phone, before speaking up.

Mu Zong shook his head, not sure what to think. “No idea. I’ve heard of the Gu family before, but I’ve never heard of that young man from today…”
