The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 189 - What Do You Care About Most? 2

The dim corridor lights cast a soft glow on him, highlighting his refined features and aura.

Such a man as Chu Shixiu… what does he truly care about?

“Uncle,” Gu Xiaoai said, clutching the photo of Chu Shixiu. After a moment’s thought, she spoke up, “Let’s hold off on releasing this news for now.”

“What? Why?” her uncle asked in surprise. “The news about the Chu Family is causing quite a stir right now. Strike while the iron is hot!”

She understood the importance of timing, but she couldn’t gauge how much Liang Nuannuan meant to Chu Shixiu. She feared hurting him.

“Uncle, just don’t release it yet,” Gu Xiaoai said, sounding somewhat dejected.

Her uncle, Ye Yongcheng, seemed to catch on, his tone turning serious. “I remember now, the Gu and Chu families were close once. You’re quite familiar with the Chu Family, no wonder you haven’t mentioned that young master.”

She wanted to divert attention. She wanted people to focus on Liang Nuannuan instead. She didn’t want Chu and Chu Shixiu to be engulfed in public gossip again…

“Uncle…”

“Xiao Ai, let me tell you something. In this world, don’t give your heart to others, especially not to the Chu Family,” her uncle suddenly advised, sounding like he was warning her.

Don’t give your heart to others? Gu Xiaoai found it hard to believe that her honest uncle, who had always worked hard for the family without complaint, would say such a thing…

“Why do you say that, uncle?” Gu Xiaoai asked, feeling a bit uneasy.

Her uncle was a straightforward, kind-hearted person, so his words seemed out of character.

“Humph,” her uncle snorted angrily. “When your Gu family had troubles, where was the Chu Family? When your dad was investigated by the commercial investigation department, did the Chu Family, with all their resources, step in to help?”

Regarding her family’s bankruptcy back then, Gu Xiaoai was only in 7th grade and knew very little. She only knew that her dad was imprisoned for commercial fraud and illegal fundraising, facing severe penalties.

“Did the Chu Family not help?”

Gu Xiaoai asked, somewhat stunned. At the time, she was bewildered; her mom had died, her dad was imprisoned, and she left her hometown with her uncle…

Since then, her aunt treated her like a little servant, immersing her in household chores.
