The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 70 A Shocking Overturned Worldview
Gu Hongtao's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and his face was extremely pale.

He never expected that Lin Chen would actually reject him and hang up on him!

Liu Zhenhao was watching from the sidelines; he's really embarrassed himself now!

That wretched brat!

Looking at Gu Hongtao's expression, Liu Zhenhao's smile faded: "What's wrong? Is he unwilling to help?"

Gu Hongtao gave a forced smile: "He's a bit busy over there, Mr. Liu. Please have a seat. I'll give him another call and urge him on."

Liu Zhenhao's heart skipped a beat. This kid Lin Chen doesn't even give his future father-in-law any face?
Things seemed to have deviated from expectations again, and Liu Zhenhao was getting restless.

If Lin Chen believes that he has asked Gu Hongtao to put pressure on him, and if he stops caring about the pressure from Gu Hongtao, then he will only hate himself more.

"Old Gu, you must make it clear to Mr. Lin that I am here to apologize. Please don't let him misunderstand."

Liu Zhenhao is a shrewd man. By speaking so frankly in front of Gu Yuexi, he was also leaving himself a way out.

I didn't ask Gu Hongtao to pressure you. He misunderstood and misspoke. It has nothing to do with me, Liu!

Gu Hongtao was secretly surprised. Had this kid's medical skills become this amazing?

Even someone as influential as Liu Zhenhao had to ask him for favors, and had to put on a smiling face and even apologize.

"Mr. Liu, don't worry, I understand."

Gu Hongtao reassured the guest, then turned to Gu Yuexi, who was sitting to the side counting her fingers, and said, "Xiaoxi, come to the study for a moment."

Gu Yuexi blinked, obediently got up, but a hint of cunning appeared in her eyes.

When Liu Zhenhao came to our door and explained his purpose, Gu Hongtao asked Gu Yuexi to call Lin Chen, but Gu Yuexi refused to make the call.

"Since he refused, he must have his reasons. I won't make this call. You can call if you want, but don't bother me!"

Gu Hongtao angrily made the call himself, only to be rejected by Lin Chen, while Gu Yuexi secretly rejoiced.

She knew this would be the ending!

She's been waiting for this moment!

Entering the study and closing the door, Gu Hongtao, who had been holding back his anger, could no longer contain himself. He slammed his hand on the table in frustration: "What does he want? What does he want! He actually hung up on me and gave me the cold shoulder. Someone like him wants to enter the Gu family and marry you? He's dreaming!"

Gu Yuexi said in a low voice, "You weren't originally planning to agree to him marrying me. Right now, you're just helping Grandpa get treatment. I guess after the treatment, you'll find a way to make him leave me. It'll probably involve some manly talk and a check..."

Gu Hongtao pointed at Gu Yuexi, his expression extremely awkward, but he had no words to refute her.

Because Gu Yuexi was right, he was indeed planning to do that. Gu Hongtao was somewhat embarrassed and angrily retorted, "Even if I had such thoughts, wasn't it for your own good?"

Gu Yuexi pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

Gu Hongtao paced back and forth in the room, thinking about Liu Zhenhao outside. He gritted his teeth and said, "Call him and tell him that he has to handle the matter of treating President Liu's grandson's illness. If he can't, then tell him to get lost and never come looking for you again."

Gu Yuexi sighed: "Then he must be so happy."

Gu Hongtao froze, his expression blank: "What? What do you mean?"

Gu Yuexi looked helpless: "Things have come to this point, so I'll tell you the truth. Actually, he never said he wanted to marry me, let alone enter the Gu family. It's all just wishful thinking on your part."

Gu Hongtao was shocked: "Then what's going on between you two? Aren't you dating?"

Gu Yuexi smiled bitterly, "I met him on the street. I was crossing the road without looking where I was going, and he pulled me back. If he hadn't pulled me back, I probably would have been hit by a truck and killed. I was very grateful to him, so we exchanged contact information. Before long, I fell in love with him and couldn't help myself..."

Gu Yuexi covered her face with her hands, looking ashamed to be seen: "Actually, it was always me who pestered him to be my boyfriend. He couldn't resist me, so he reluctantly agreed to give it a try. He didn't originally have this intention. He is a capable person, and he doesn't even care about the Gu family's business."

Gu Hongtao was dumbfounded, feeling as if his entire worldview had been turned upside down.

She had always looked down on Lin Chen, thinking he wasn't good enough for her daughter. But it turned out that it wasn't him pursuing her daughter; it was her daughter who was shamelessly clinging to him, making a scene...

Gu Hongtao retorted angrily, "He's just a poor kid who has nothing. What right does he have to look down on you?"

Gu Yuexi pointed her chin towards the outside: "Mr. Liu, the real estate tycoon, is rich enough, right? He's powerful enough, right? Did Lin Chen even acknowledge him? Doesn't he still have to find a roundabout way to beg Lin Chen? Lin Chen is capable, and his ambitions are sky-high. If he wants to make money, it's a piece of cake for him. Putting everything else aside, just take helping Mr. Liu save his grandson. The hospital has no solution, even the most famous doctors are helpless, only he can save him. Asking for 100 million, is that too much? There are many people in this world who are richer and more powerful than Mr. Liu, right? Everyone has a sick person in their family. As long as he asks, countless people will beg to give him money..."

Gu Hongtao was speechless.

Is it too much to give 100 million to save a life?
Wealth has a price, but life is priceless.

Would Liu Zhenhao be willing to spend 100 million to save his grandson?

Even if it hurts, I'd definitely be willing to.

In other words, even if Lin Chen didn't want the money, the huge favor of being saved by his savior would be enough to make him rich and powerful. But did he agree?
He refused!

Gu Hongtao felt a little dizzy. He finally understood why the other party dared to refuse him.

They don't care at all, but he's acting like a superior to the woman's elder, always looking down on her and now ordering her around in a condescending tone...

Lose your face!

Too shameful!
