Jennifer Lu was called back to the Lu's mansion on an emergency.
When she stepped into the living room, the TV was airing a report on the Gu Group. Jennifer Lu stopped and looked at the giant LCD screen.
"The elections for the current CEO of the Gu Group is about to begin. At present, Jason Gu, the head of the Gu Family, has not said much about the candidates. It is reported that the eldest grandson of the Gu Family, Ryan Gu, is expected to win. The results will be known after the Gu Group's board meeting."
The mention of Ryan Gu made Jennifer Lu's heart tremble.
'He...'
"Miss Jennifer, why have you returned?" The servant's words interrupted Jennifer Lu's thoughts.
She usually would be on duty at the office at this time.
Jennifer Lu shook her head and smiled at the servant. "Where is my father?"
"Mr. Elliot and Mr. Gu are in the study now."
Jennifer Lu frowned slightly. "Which Mr. Gu?"
There were not that many people who had the surname Gu in the F City, let alone get near her father. There could only be one person...
"It is Mr. Jacob," the servant answered.
'Ah! I thought so.'
Jacob Gu was Ryan Gu's second uncle.
A sense of uneasiness suddenly rose up in Jennifer Lu's heart. Her father, Elliot Mo, must had called her back for a reason.
"I'll go up to my room and freshen up first," Jennifer Lu went upstairs after saying this.
When she passed through the study, Jennifer Lu stopped in front of the door and listened carefully.
"I can assure you that as long as you join hands with me, we will definitely be able to defeat Ryan and pull him out of the company. Even if Ryan is capable, it will be impossible for him to fight against the Gu Family and the Lu Family at the same time. If necessary, we can even make him disappear. It will be just like he's never existed."
It was Jacob Gu who said this.
Jennifer Lu's eyes widened. She was shocked. Jacob Gu was determined to get the Gu Family all to himself and even want to kill Ryan in the process.
She couldn't just stand by and watch Ryan Gu in danger.
Jennifer Lu tiptoed back to her room. When she got there, she took out her phone and dialed a number. "Can you help me contact Ryan? Okay, I'll wait for your news."
After changing her clothes, Jennifer Lu waited anxiously in her bedroom.
After a while, her phone rang.
"How is it going?" she asked.
An embarrassed voice came from the other end of the phone. "Mr. Ryan, he... He doesn't want to see you."
Jennifer Lu didn't feel disappointed at this. She had expected it, but she still wanted to give it a shot.
Nevertheless, she had to see Ryan Gu today.
Jennifer Lu would never forget the bloody scene that greeted her eyes when she walked into the Gu's mansion. She didn't want it to happen to Ryan Gu.
Standing up suddenly, she rushed out of the bedroom. She had decided to go to the Gu Group to find Ryan Gu to talk to him about what was happening.
However, to Jennifer Lu's surprise, she happened to meet Elliot Mo and Jacob Gu when she rushed downstairs. They were sitting on the sofa and talking.
"Jen, you're back." Elliot Mo waved his hand, gesturing for Jennifer Lu to come to him.
Jennifer Lu hid all her emotions and obediently came to Elliot Mo's side. "Dad, Uncle Jacob."
"Elliot, you are so lucky to have such a beautiful daughter." Jacob Gu studied Jennifer Lu up and down and smiled at her.
Elliot Mo nodded his head. "Jacob, you are the one who is lucky. Your son, Francis, is wanted by many women. If my memory serves me right, Francis and Jen graduated from the same university. You were friends, right, Jen?"
When Jennifer Lu heard that the topic had something to do with Francis Gu, she just smiled and did not answer Elliot Mo's question.
Although she and Francis Gu studied in the same university, they didn't know each other well at all.
Elliot Mo's reference to Francis Gu at this time was probably to lay the groundwork for the next thing they wanted to say.
As she expected, after Jacob Gu heard what Elliot Mo said, he added, "It seems to be the case. That's good. Jennifer is quite familiar with Fran. The good relationship they built before will provide the foundation and save a lot of unnecessary trouble, when the two children will be together and live with each other in the future."
"Yes, of course," Elliot Mo echoed.
Jennifer Lu suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. "Dad, what are you talking about?"
She had a disturbing thought. 'Do they want to make a match between me and Francis?'
Elliot smiled, "Oh, here is the thing. Uncle Jacob came here today to propose a marriage. Jen, you are already at the marrying age. I think you have a good relationship with Francis. This marriage will be a win-win solution."
Jennifer stared at them as if they were crazy.
She barely even spoke to Francis Gu!
Of course, she knew better than anyone else that the real reason why her father wanted her to marry into the Gu Family was because he wanted to use the shares her mother left her to help Jacob Gu deal with Ryan Gu.
She had been playing dumb for so many years, but did he really think she was that stupid?
Jennifer smiled faintly, "I won't marry him."
Her voice was quiet and firm.
Elliot and Jacob didn't expect that she would refuse them. Their faces darkened in an instant.
Elliot frowned and scolded his daughter loudly, "Do you know what you are saying, Jennifer? It should be your honor to marry Francis and enter the Gu Family. Who else would dare to marry you with your current reputation in the F City? Learn your place!"
Elliot's words dripped with disgust.
Jennifer laughed sarcastically. "Dad, as you said, I have a bad reputation. Will the Gu Family allow me to become one of them?"
She then shot Jacob a meaningful gaze. "Uncle Jacob, I don't think Francis would want a woman like me. Please don't hurt your son for your own selfish gain."
Jacob's face darkened at her words.
'She...'
"Jennifer." Elliot didn't expect his daughter to be so disrespectful to him. He glared at her angrily. "How dare you? You will marry Francis, whether or not you want to."
Jennifer looked her father in the eye. "I have said that I won't marry him. If you asked me to come back today just because of this matter, then we have nothing else to talk about."
She then turned around and left quickly, ignoring her father's curses at her.
Looking at Jennifer's receding figure, Elliot could still feel anger boiling in his chest. At the thought that she embarrassed him in front of Jacob, he did want nothing but tear his daughter apart.
He shouldn't have given birth to such an evil creature!
Jacob glanced over at Elliot. "Elliot, I think you know how important it is that they get married. I hope I can hear good news before the board meeting comes."
Shocked, Elliot looked at him to say something, but Jacob had already turned around and left.
Elliot was left alone in the living room. He stared up to the ceiling, eyes filled with anger. His daughter would pay for her insolence!
