Chapter 1266 I Don“t Want The Position Of Master Anymore

Xue Mengqi’s eyes twitched. “Master, you…”Gu Jingze looked at her. “Who was the one who let Mo Huiling in earlier?”

Under his gaze, Xue Mengqi suddenly let off a shiver.

Gu Jingze scoffed. “The security guards outside can’t even make sure such things don’t happen. They can allow a lunatic to come into the house and injure someone. Which family do these security guards belong to?”

Everyone went completely silent and looked at each other.

This banquet had been organized by the clan relatives. Naturally, the security guards outside were also from their families.

At this moment, Xue Mengqi looked at him and asked, “Master. Have you regained your memory?”

Gu Jingze looked at her. “Xue Mengqi. Haven’t you been racking your brains with the precise intention of driving my wife out of the Gu family? You probably know better than me why you want to do that. You want the position of the mistress. You’ve made your rapacious ambition abundantly clear.”

Xue Mengqi immediately said, “Master. What has this got to do with me? I have merely been pushed forward by everyone to compete for the position of mistress. And this is all because you spoil Lin Che to a terrifying extent, causing us to lack a sense of security. As the Master, the first thing you should do is to increase the sense of security in the Gu family. That’s the only way we can work together with a common purpose. But now, because of this woman’s interference, the Gu family has become internally riddled with numerous loopholes. We want her to leave the Gu family now also because we’re worried and afraid. Our trust in you is also decreasing. I can forgo the position of Mistress and everything else too. The only thing we want is for Lin Che to withdraw from all the companies in the Gu family’s name.”

As they listened to Xue Mengqi’s words, everyone felt that they made a lot of sense. Immediately, many of them started shouting, “We want her to withdraw.”

“Exactly. We want her to withdraw from the Gu Industries for good. Otherwise, we won’t take it lying down.”

“We can’t trust the Master either. The Master is so biased. As long as she’s around, all of us won’t feel at ease.”

Lin Che stood behind and looked at everyone. Slowly, she took a step forward.

“I…”

However, Gu Jingze nevertheless held her back by the arm.

“Fine. Since all of you are saying that.” Gu Jingze pulled Lin Che’s hand and intertwined all their fingers together. Then, he looked down with tenderness brimming in his eyes like sweet caramel. He looked at her calmly and tightened their fingers.

“I’ll withdraw from the Gu Industries.”

Immediately, the venue turned deathly silent, as if the end of the world had arrived.

What?

He was going to withdraw from the Gu Industries?

How could he withdraw?

Everyone looked at Gu Jingze.

“Jingze, don’t be rash.”

“Precisely. Jingze, are you threatening us?”

Gu Jingze looked at everyone. “No. I’ve already made up my mind. I will withdraw from the Gu Industries and resign from my position as the head of the family. From today onwards, I, Gu Jingze, will have nothing to do with the Gu Industries. I would also like everyone to stop disturbing me and my wife.”

Lin Che was shocked.

She looked up at Gu Jingze.

Determination was written all over his side profile.

It seemed that he had made this decision a long time ago and would not change his mind again.

Lin Che did not know what best to say. She could only quietly hold his hands.

Gu Jingze tilted his head to look at her and smiled.

He said, “I will take away what’s mine. As for what doesn’t belong to me, I won’t take any of it. Henceforth, I and the Gu Industries will have nothing to do with each other. I too hope that everyone will enjoy a meteoric rise to success in the future. That without me, all of you can unite and work together with a common purpose. Alright. I’ve finished what I wanted to say.”

Thereafter, Gu Jingze pulled Lin Che with him as he turned around and walked out.

It sent a wave of fright through everyone. For a moment, they felt a sense of panic and helplessness.

How could he give it up at the drop of a hat?

The Gu Industries was such a huge business empire. Was he prepared to let go of it after simply saying so?

Just because of a woman?

“Jingze, you can’t just wash your hands off it either.”

“Jingze, you’re being too impulsive. Let’s have a proper discussion about this…”

All the clan relatives of the Gu family were slightly flustered. After all, something like this had never happened before. They too did not know what to do if the position of Master was empty.

Chaos like this had not happened in the Gu family for many years. They were genuinely unable to adjust to the situation at the moment.

Especially as Gu Jingze’s reputation – whether in society or on the international stage – was unmatched by anyone else’s.

They did not actually want Gu Jingze to abandon his position just like that.

Just then, Xue Mengqi stepped forward and said, “Alright. Perhaps the Master is angry at the moment. Let’s not get impatient. We can simply consider this at length and get someone to persuade him.”

Hearing this, they felt that Xue Mengqi’s words were reasonable too.

Who would simply let go of a family business as massive as that of the Gu family?

Xue Mengqi looked at everyone before looking in the direction that Gu Jingze had left.

Her thoughts had surged forth and she was unable to control herself.

After returning to the Xue residence, Xue Mengqi quickly said, “Father, Gu Jingze has resigned from his position as the head of the family. No one else in the Gu family can fill the position right now. Wouldn’t you say this is a great opportunity?”

Xue Mengqi’s father had already gotten wind of this incident from the reports of his subordinates.

He asked, “What do you mean? You want to do it?”

Xue Mengqi said, “I’ve always found it extremely unfair that I wasn’t born in the direct line of descent. How am I worse than those men? Why is it that I can only be the mistress and not the head of the family? Father, help me. I can definitely obtain that position. When that happens, the Gu family will be under our rule. The Gu family will then change its surname to Xue.”

Xue Mengqi’s father looked at the way she was puffed up with pride and hesitated beside her.

He said, “Mengqi, you must bear in mind that the Gu family will definitely not be the Gu family of the past once Gu Jingze leaves.”

Xue Mengqi said, “I know that Gu Jingze will of course take with him his own businesses. But those are still not as big as the business of the entire Gu Industries.”

“You’re right. But you must not underestimate the Gu family’s own businesses. The entire business of the Gu Industries is owned by all the members of the Gu family, including the clan relatives and the three major families in the direct line of descent. That’s why it’s frightfully massive. But in it, the businesses belonging to the direct descendants are the largest, and the remaining businesses are a bit scattered. This is the reason why the direct descendants of the Gu family are of such extraordinary status. Now that Gu Jingze has taken away that part of the business, the remaining part is a bit dispersed. It’s difficult to manage.”

Xue Mengqi said, “The part that Gu Jingze will take with him merely takes up a larger percentage in the Gu Industries. So his family is the most prominent in the entire Gu industries. But after he breaks off, the size of his businesses definitely won’t compare to that of the entire Gu Industries. Thus, we’ll still be bigger. Even if our businesses are scattered and difficult to manage, if someone can integrate them, we will definitely be one of the few families with such a huge empire, although we won’t be as big as the Gu family of the past. So, how can we not try? This is definitely a good opportunity. Whether the members of the Xue family can hold their heads high and become the best men, without having to care about others’ opinions, depends on what we do this time.”

Of course, Xue Mengqi’s father was also very interested in what she was saying. Who would not want themselves to be superior to others?

Xue Mengqi said, “The Gu family is currently in chaos. At a time like this, if the Xue family can get up there, the world will be under our rule.”

Xue Mengqi’s father looked at Xue Mengqi and slowly clenched his fist. Their success or failure depended on what they did now. At worst, they would just fail. But if they succeeded, then their family’s status would be incomparable in the future.
