Now, there was no need to hide anymore.

So, their speech was no longer as polite as before.

“Because of the mine collapse, a large sum of money was lost, and then those three carts of gemstones, which haven’t been found yet. Even if they are found, I believe there wouldn’t be much left,” he said.

Gu Qingfeng looked at Ning Wanru as he spoke.

Although she remained composed, Gu Qingfeng knew she believed what he said.

He continued, his voice filled with hatred, “The most important reason is that you and Gu Cheng actually own thirty percent of the Jade Mine shares. The thought of that keeps me restless at night, like a fishbone stuck in my throat.”

Ning Wanru smiled faintly, speaking gently, “What difference does it make whether I own thirty percent of the shares or someone else does? If not me, it would be someone else. You’re being petty, aren’t you…”

“It’s different. These days, every time I think of the shares in your hands, I, Gu Qingfeng, almost wish I could kill myself. I never expected I’d raised several ungrateful wolves,” he said.

Ning Wanru heard this with an unchanged expression.

One couldn’t help but say that this woman’s skin was thick.

Her tone was relaxed, slightly mocking as she said, “Do you regret it now?”

Gu Qingfeng gave a cold smile.

He did not respond to Ning Wanru’s question.

Whether he regretted it or not, he had no interest in letting this contemptible woman know.

“The moment I found out that you and Gu Cheng had shares, I had this thought. I’m getting old, and Qiaoqiao is still young. The Gu family’s business currently has no one to take over. Besides, after these two incidents, I don’t know if it’s just industry sabotage or some people causing trouble, but now I truly no longer want the Jade Mine…” Gu Qingfeng took a sip of clear tea, speaking calmly.

“Wasn’t that left by your son?”

“My son is dead, what use do I have for it?” Gu Qingfeng stared intensely at Ning Wanru, word for word, “I’d rather sell it all off. I don’t want to share ownership of the Jade Mine with you and your ungrateful son.”

Ning Wanru’s eyes shifted.

At this moment, Gu Qingfeng’s face was ashen, and his words were spoken through gritted teeth.

It looked like these two incidents had truly hit him hard.

Upon reflection, it was understandable.

His grandson and family had been found; maybe he was not so obsessed with the Jade Mine anymore.

And no matter how capable Gu Qiaoqiao was, she was just a nineteen-year-old girl.

What could she do?

Did she really think she could compete with her?

It was utterly ridiculous.

To manage the Jade Mine and Yubao Square was not something a girl who hadn’t even graduated from high school could handle.

This old thing before her, even if he were in good health, how many more years could he live?

Gu Tianfeng was a bookworm.

That boy named Gu Zishu had only graduated from middle school.

But she was different; she had her son Gu Cheng, and three outstanding grandsons.

Importantly, her grandsons were all adults.

If nothing else, Gu Yalan could also help.

Thinking this, Ning Wanru asked Gu Qingfeng, “How do you plan to sell it?”

“Of course, at the lowest possible price…” Gu Qingfeng said matter-of-factly.

“Have you gone mad?” Ning Wanru lowered her voice.

“I’m not crazy. If we don’t sell it at a low price, how would we quickly dispose of the Jade Mine?” Gu Qingfeng’s tone was mocking.

“So how much do you plan to sell it for?” Ning Wanru asked.

“How much do you think it’s worth?” Gu Qingfeng countered.
