Chapter 197 It’s all for that adopted son again!

After the waiter left, Zhao Rui asked, “Gu Chi, Mom knows that you have resentment towards me. I did go too far before.”

As I spoke, tears began to fall uncontrollably.

Seeing Zhao Rui crying, Gu Chi frowned, wondering what she was up to.

“Just say whatever you want to say. There’s no need to cry here. You’re pretending to be tired, and it makes me upset.” Gu Chi took a sip of tea without being polite.

It is indeed refreshing and has a light sweet aftertaste in the mouth, and is not astringent.

Seeing Gu Chi’s ruthless revelation, Zhao Rui had never suffered such humiliation before and suddenly felt that she could no longer pretend.

“Gu Chi…” She shouted immediately, and met his provocative eyes, and then she suppressed the anger in her heart, “I am still your mother after all. I admit that I was a bit strict with you in the past. Now your father has a woman outside.”

“I’m divorcing you because of that woman. Shouldn’t we be united as mother and son at this time?”

Gu Chi just shook his head and said, “No, this is your family affair and has nothing to do with me. If you came here today to complain to me, I’m sorry, I don’t really want to hear it.”

Gu Chi’s calmness made Zhao Rui, who was sitting opposite him, slightly stunned.

Whenever they met in the past, they always looked on edge, but today, Gu Chi acted as if it had nothing to do with him at all.

“Stop wasting each other’s time. I’m still busy!” He picked up the car keys on the table and prepared to walk out the door.

“Stop!” Seeing Gu Chi preparing to leave again, Zhao Rui couldn’t help but shout, and at the same time stretched out her hand to stop him, her tone became anxious: “If that woman comes in, she will have another child in her belly, then you won’t be able to go back to the Lu family.”

Gu Chi sneered when he heard this, and his face darkened instantly: “Haha, what are you going back for? Even if there is no child, what does the Lu family have to do with me?”

Now Gu Chi’s own company has surpassed Lu’s in terms of size and stock price.

This old so-called “technology company” has finally become a beauty in its twilight years.

Seeing Gu Chi speak, Zhao Rui seemed to have nothing to hide anymore.

“In that case, let’s just be frank. I want 15% of the shares of the Lu Group under your name.”

Gu Chi paused as he was about to leave, then turned around and looked at her with interest, “What do you want? Are you planning to buy these shares at a discount?”

“Besides, you shouldn’t mind this little bit of shares, right?” Gu Chi shrugged and smiled.

“Since you don’t care about Lu’s shares, there are people who want them.” Zhao Rui said gritting her teeth.

“Oh?” Gu Chi looked at her with a smile, “The person you are talking about should be your adopted son Lu Tianci, right?”

“Huh…” Zhao Rui took a deep breath. She didn’t admit it directly, nor did she deny it. Instead, she continued to talk to herself, “The marriage between Lu Ziming and I can no longer go back to the way it was. Li Manman is pregnant, so Tianci has completely fallen out of favor in the Lu family.”

“Although the Lu family said before that Lu Tianci would be the only heir, there are too many uncertainties in a wealthy family.”

“Your company is now even bigger than the Lu family, why do you have to care about this 15% stake?”

After all, I came here to help Lu Tianci get shares.

It has always been like this, Lu Tianci gets all the benefits, but the bad guys are always others. No matter how things develop, he, Lu Tianci, can always get away with it.

In his previous life, Lu Ziming had already given most of his shares to Lu Tianci.

In this life, because of Gu Chi’s participation, the trajectory has changed.

However, he ultimately did not receive any favor from the Lu family.

“I’m not short of money, and I don’t care about the 15% of the shares.” Gu Chi still refused, “But why should I give it to him?”

“Besides, don’t everyone in the Lu family like him very much? Why is it different when it comes to the real thing?”

Hearing his blunt refusal, Zhao Rui instantly became furious: “Gu Chi, after all, I gave birth to you and raised you for so many years…”

“Stop!” Gu Chi ruthlessly blocked her words, “There is no need to mention this every time. Besides, I have already returned all you have paid for.”

“You…” Zhao Rui was choked by him for a long time, and finally shouted in frustration: “Gu Chi, it’s easy to pay back the money, but how are you going to pay back the grace of giving birth to me?”

“Is it difficult to pay back the 500 yuan monthly expenses? Isn’t that what you guys gave me condescendingly?” Gu Chi’s tone was still cold and without any warmth. “If the money I gave to the Lu family is not enough to pay back, then what should I use to repay Lu Tianci’s favor?”

“Gu Chi, don’t you really have any feelings at all?” Zhao Rui was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick. “I am your mother after all, you…”

“Mother?” Gu Chi suddenly laughed, as if mocking her. “If it weren’t for you, how could I not have seen my adoptive mother for the last time when she passed away?”

“You…” Zhao Rui stared at Gu Chi in frustration, with a cold face in front of her, clearly looking like an adult.

The immaturity from before had long since faded from his body.

Zhao Rui had no way of refutation to these words and could only feel helpless and furious.

But she still didn’t give up. Zhao Rui’s eyes suddenly lit up: “You are my son. We are blood relatives. The Lu family’s assets may not be left to Tianci, but your father still thinks of you at the critical moment.”

“So, if you give your current shares to Tianci, you can get other shares in the future, and maybe even more.”

Hearing Zhao Rui’s words, Gu Chi raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a bit of sarcasm: “Then when Lu Ziming gives me the shares, I will give Lu Tianci 15%.”

Zhao Rui choked. She obviously didn’t expect Gu Chi to be so straightforward, but she was still unwilling to give up: “Gu Chi…”

Before he could say the rest, Gu Chi interrupted him again.

“Actually, it’s not impossible for me to give the shares to Lu Tianci…” Gu Chi said, deliberately dragging out the last syllable. Seeing the joy in Zhao Rui’s eyes, Gu Chi slowly added: “Unless…”

“Unless what?” Zhao Rui asked anxiously, “I know you must have other conditions, right?”

“My condition is that you sign all the copyrights of the artists under your company to our platform free of charge.” Gu Chi said, looking at Zhao Rui with anticipation.

Zhao Rui’s face suddenly froze. She obviously had not expected Gu Chi to have such thoughts.
