Gu Xingren was wary of Grandfather Gu during their ride to the office. He didn''t say a word to her all this while and treated her like a non-existent. She has been punished by Gu Zhang and has apologized to him, what more does he want from her?


    Although the car and cards have been returned to her after her schrship exam, Gu Zhang has warned her to mind her attitude and not do anything that can put her career in danger.


    Her heart turned soft seeing that he still cares for her. She can still handle Grandfather Gu if her family is with her, supporting her immensely against Xu Nuan who is constantly trying to challenge her position in the family.


    -


    After they stepped out of the car, she followed Grandfather Gu and Gu Zhang inside the exquisite building of Gu Corporations whose corridor was filled with employees, moving around to get their duties done.


    She pursed her lips and was wondering why Grandfather Gu wanted to visit thepany suddenly while staring at his back as they walked past through the employees who were looking at them in awe.


    He has gotten old and weak yet his powerful aura hasn''t disappeared yet. The employees bowed and greeted him politely as soon as they saw the Chairman of thepany, Gu Jianhong being followed by Gu Zhang and Xingren.


    Their shocked and surprised expressions made the corner of her lips turn upside. That''s right. This is where she belongs, she deserves this special attention and envious gazes of the people as she passes by them with her head held high, listening to their jealous groans at her exquisite-pampered lifestyle.


    Seeing the three-generations of thepanying altogether, a surge of whispers spread among the employees.


    [Is something special today? Howe the chairman is at thepany, with no prior notice?]


    [Don''t tell me that they''re going to announce the appointment of Miss Gu as the vice-president of thepany? If that happens, then the rumor will turn true.]


    [How can that be possible? They will never appoint anyone as the vice-president without the required arrangements. It must be something else.]


    Gu Xingren was smiling all the while and responded to the greetings of the people politely while pretending to not listen to their obvious whispers as she followed Grandfather Gu to the executive elevator.


    She is the heiress of thepany, she can''t let anyone have the wrong impression of her, she doesn''t want to bebeled as a rude heiress who has to struggle for her power.


    Instead, she wants to be a gentle-polite heiress, who will be offered the opportunity to rule thispany itself. That''s why she was maintaining her reputation till now, and she was somewhat sessful in maintaining that image of her as she has been given the nickname


    of ''fairy princess'' by them.


    ''Xu Nuan, you think winning over Grandfather Gu is enough? Haha, but that''s now how things work. You can never defeat me in a formal setting because you''re not capable enough. Oh, Poor Xu Nuan!'' a smile appeared on her lips as she looked at her reflection in the elevator door that was going upwards, to the Presidential floor.


    -


    Gu Zhang pursed his lips and stared at his father who was sitting on his Presidential-executive chair authoritatively while he stood opposite to him, looking at him in disbelief.


    When he reached the office, his secretary informed him that there is an emergency Board of Directors meeting in a while, called by the chairman, his father. And here, the President of thepany isn''t aware of such a meeting, his father didn''t even tell him about the meeting at home.


    " Father, what is the meaning of this? You held an emergency meeting, without even telling me?"


    Gu Jianhong looked up at his son who was furious upon knowing this news and nced at Xingren who was standing behind Gu Zhang, looking at him nervously. She looked nervous and worried, if this had been his past self, he would have gotten fooled by her innocent expressions.


    However, now he knows that no matter how long you know a person, you can never be sure that they will not change. The girl he has seen growing in front of him has turned into someone difficult to recognize.


    He let out a low breath and said, " Is there any rule in thepany that I have to tell you before calling for a meeting? No, right? Then don''t ask and just attend the meeting. This doesn''t concern you anyway."


    A deep frown appeared on Gu Zhang''s face seeing his father''s cold-indifferent attitude towards him. Why is he treating him like this when he hadplied with him and even punished Xingren harshly for her mistakes?


    " At least tell me the purpose of this meeting so that I can prepare for it." He sighed helplessly.


    " You don''t need to prepare, I have prepared everything. You just...need to attend the meeting quietly and nothing else."


    "....."


    Xingren pursed her lips and sped her hands in front tightly seeing his cold attitude towards them. He has been behaving like this since the day of the Gu Corporations anniversary banquet.


    It was her who lost the investment and was humiliated in front of everyone as the daughter of the Gu family, yet he was acting as the aggrieved and wrong one.


    ''It''s okay Xigren. Just for a while more, everything will be fine after you take over thepany. Rx.'' She repeated these words to calm her racing heart.


    As she and Gu Zhang were frowning at Grandfather Gu''s cold attitude towards them, they heard a knock on the door. Gu Zhang looked up when his secretary entered and informed him about the arrival of Yu Yuhan.


    " Send him in." Gu Zhang said and turned to Xingren in confusion, " Xin Xin, you called Yuhan to the office?"


    Xingren was in confusion as well. She shook her head in wonder and said, " I didn''t. I also don''t know why he is suddenly here." She said in a low voice but her eyes automatically turned to Grandfather Gu who had his eyes closed in a rxed manner.


    -


    The door opened and Yuhan who was dressed in a formal blue suit entered the office greeted him politely. He nced at Xingren but didn''t say anything to her curious questions.


    Before walking to Grandfather Gu''s side, he turned around and said, " What are you waiting for? Come inside."


    Gu Zhang and Xingren looked at each other in confusion, wondering who he had brought along with him.


    Xingren''s pupils widened in shock seeing the person entering the President''s office. What is she doing here?


    " Xu Nuan? What are you doing here?" Gu Zhang asked in shock seeing her at the office, dressed in an off-white,ce dress that reached to her knees, keeping it formal and appropriate for the formal settings.


    The minimalist makeup and essories were enhancing her already natural beautiful features, her look was gentle and tender but her eyes were spilling the confidence and screaming power.


    Xu Nuan smiled and nced at wide-eyed Xingren and said, " Don''t stare at me like this, I know I am beautiful that you can''t help but stare at me. However, if you constantly stare at me, you will turn blind from my intense beauty and aura." shemented dramatically while putting a few strands of hair behind her ears.


    "Pfft!!" Yuhan who was standing beside her couldn''t help but snicker at her shamelesslyplimenting herself. She didn''t even blink once to make such ament about herself, she is one of a kind.
