Shen Xi studied Gu Chen’s face for a while before turning to Gu An. She asked with a sharp smile, “Mr Gu, I wonder what my father did to you that caused you to transfer the goods and frame him?”

Gu An glanced at Shen Xi disdainfully and replied, “What do you mean by I framed him? This was the truth. Your father bought substandard building materials. All the evidence is conclusive.’

“Second Uncle, Xi is also one of us. Let’s not hide it and talk about it directly.” Gu Chen said in a slightly heavy tone, “l invited you here today because I want you to be magnanimous and return those things to Xi’s father and claim his innocence. ”

Gu An’s gaze fell on Gu Chen’s face and he sneered. “One of us? Gu Chen, our surname is Gu and her surname is Shen. We couldn’t have been in the same family 800 years ago. Besides, if I return those materials to their rightful place and prove Shen Yan’s innocence, wouldn’t that be blatantly telling everyone that it was our Gu family who committed the crime, not the Shen family? Gu Chen, where did you put the Gu family?”

Gu Chen looked a little embarrassed and said, “Second Uncle, the Gu family doesn’t need to come forward for this matter. When materials are stolen, there will naturally be thieves. As long as the price is high, there will naturally be thieves who will plead guilty.”

“Why would I do such a thankless thing? I went through so much trouble for a little girl with the surname Shen. What’s there for me?” Gu An said casually.

It was obvious that he did not want to help.

The materials and accounts related to the Shen Corporation in the Ninghai Project have been handed over to the investigation team.

The information on it was all fake information and fake accounts that Gu An had changed. Every item accused Shen Yan of taking cuts from different suppliers and then buying materials that did not meet the requirements.

The entire account was very meticulous and there were no loopholes.

Just like what Gu Chen said yesterday, even the time of the bank card transfer for the cuts could correspond to every time Shen Yan went out to socialize.

The investigation team could even suggest that Shen Yan would use normal social gatherings as a cover and then sneak into the private room next door to accept bribes in an attempt to avoid being caught.

Therefore, this was a very targeted framing.

The only breakthrough was to find the accounts of the supplier that cooperated with the Shen family to break the reputation of Shen Yan purchasing inferior materials.

This was also the reason why someone wanted to snatch the account book that Yu Ming had already collated. They wanted to destroy it so that the Shen Corporation had no way to prove it.

However, since she was here, Shen Xi wanted to see how the plan would develop.

“Second Uncle, can you help Xi’s family for my sake?” Gu Chen looked at Shen Xi and said.

“l have no obligation to help outsiders. However, if Ms Shen Xi is willing to marry my son, then we will be family. You wouldn’t even need to ask for this favour, I would naturally be willing to handle this situation beautifully. I can still give you a choice. You can choose either of my two sons. If you like them, I’ll give you both.” Gu An said sarcastically.

Gu Chen slammed the table and shouted, “Second Uncle! I respect you because you’re my elder, but Xi is my honoured guest. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to say that?”

Gu An leaned back on the sofa with a satisfied expression. He crossed his legs and smiled. “I’m going to say it here. As long as Ms. Shen Xi agrees to marry into our Gu family, I will treat this matter as one of the betrothal gifts.”

Shen Xi had the Shen Corporation and the Lu Financial Group behind her. If she married into the Gu family, then the Shen Corporation and the Lu Financial Group would be taken over by the Gu family sooner or later.

Shen Xi sneered and looked at Gu An coldly. “Mr Gu, it’s better for you to dream at night. After all, it’s not easy to daydream.”

“Why, Ms Shen Xi, are you saying that my two sons are not worthy? That’s fine. Gu Chen is fine too. If you bring the Shen family and the Lu family as dowry, you’ll be worthy of our Chen.” Gu An’s eyes darted between Shen Xi and Gu Chen with ridicule.

“Second Uncle, you can go back first.” Gu Chen looked at Gu An with a gloomy expression.

Gu An glanced at Gu Chen from the corner of his eyes, stood up and tidied his clothes unhappily, then left without saying a word.

“Gu Chen, so this is your motive?” Shen Xi looked at Gu Chen with a dark expression and smiled..
