"Since the words have already been spoken, I won't beat around the bush with you. You should know what role Gu Tingchen is playing in the Gu family right now."
Bai Fenghua was neither hurried nor slow, she looked like a different person.
Mu Lee frowned, "Mom, what do you mean by that? I've never been involved in business, so I don't know much about it. If you have anything you want to say, you'd better explain it to me."
Mu Lee did not like to beat around the bush like that. Moreover, this matter was related to Gu Tingchen, so she did not dare to directly make the decision.
"Mu Lee, I believe that you are a smart woman, and I believe you understand what I want to say. Our Gu family is currently facing a difficult situation, so we must find someone to take responsibility for it.
"I'm sorry, I said I don't understand business matters. I'm really powerless in this matter." Mu Lee still pretended not to understand.
Bai Fenghua was extremely furious, she immediately stood up and pointed at Mu Lee: "You .... You don't know how to appreciate favors."
"What are you talking about? I don't know anything about business, so it's useless for you to tell me about it. Besides, I don't work at the Gu family, so I don't know anything about the Gu family's company."
Mu Lee also stood up, with her head lowered, like a child who had done something wrong.
From the looks of it, today's meal was most likely going to be a Hongmen Banquet.
All of the Gu Family members had already sided with Gu Tingye. Since the Gu Family was in trouble now, they obviously wanted to push Gu Tingchen out to be their scapegoat.
"What is it? Are you arguing? " Gu Shao'ang, who was downstairs, couldn't help but ask after hearing their voices.
When Bai Fenghua saw her husband come down, she helped Gu Shao'ang to sit down: "There are people that do not know how to appreciate favors."
"Xiao Li, don't lower yourself to the same level as your mother." Gu Shao'ang's tone was calm, completely different from the elites in the business battles.
"I'm sorry dad, this is my first time here and I've already angered mom." Mu Lee could not help but say apologetically. She knew that the situation was bad for Gu Tingchen, and although she was angry, she could not break the rules.
Gu Shao'ang walked in front of Mu Lee and said, "Did you eat this apple? Do you feel that this apple is very sweet? "
"Apple sent from abroad is indeed very sweet." Mu Lee answered truthfully.
Gu Shao'ang picked up the apple on the table and placed it in front of Mu Lee. Just as Mu Lee was about to catch it, Gu Shaoyan threw it onto the ground: "Sorry, this apple is too big, it's not easy to catch."
Mu Lee looked at the apple on the ground that was covered in dust and could not help but frown. What does this man want to do?
"Mu Lee, I know you are a smart person, although the apple is more fragrant and delicious than the domestic ones, but since it fell on the ground, it could only be a useless apple."
After Gu Shao'ang finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the kitchen.
However, Mu Lee was still looking at the apple on the ground. He was hinting that this apple was indeed Gu Tingchen, no matter how brilliant and beautiful he was before, he was still a piece of trash now, unable to get into the great hall.
She never thought that Gu Tingchen's parents would actually be such a person. Could it be that Gu Tingchen wasn't their child?
Mu Lee picked up the apple and walked straight to the kitchen. She turned on the tap and washed the apple under the tap.
Then, Mu Lee placed the apple in front of Gu Shao'ang: "Father, this apple is extremely precious, if it falls on the ground and you don't eat it, that would be a waste, if you wash it, the abandoned apples are edible too."
Gu Shao'ang was astonished, he never thought that this little girl would actually have such a sharp tongue.
"If the apple is dirty, it can be washed clean. What if the apple is broken?" Gu Shao'ang launched another attack.
"If it's broken, then it's much easier to deal with it. We can just cut out the apple's tumor and leave the better ones."
Mu Lee put the washed apple into her mouth and bit down on it. Gu Shao'ang stood at the same spot with a intriguing look in her eyes.
After a while, Gu Shao'ang laughed out loud: "I never thought that you would be so smart. I prepared some food that you liked to eat today, hurry up and come over to eat."
After he sat down, Gu Shao'ang looked at the maid that had brought the dishes over: "Call the young master down for dinner."
