The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 190 - What Do You Care About Most? 3

“Help? The Chu Family was too busy hiding, afraid the investigation would reach them too,” her uncle exclaimed indignantly over the voice chat.

Is that really the case?

She had always thought their families were close, exceptionally close…

When her family faced trouble, did the Chu Family really stand by and do nothing?

Seeing her silence, her uncle sighed on the other end, “Xiao Ai, you’re grown up now. You should understand the fickle nature of human relationships. There’s no need to protect the Chu Family.”

The fickleness of human relationships.

Even families as close as the Gu and Chu, in the end, did the Chu Family only care about their own affairs?

“I understand, uncle,” Gu Xiaoai replied calmly, pausing before adding, “Let’s hold off on the news for now.”

She was doing it for Chu Shixiu.

Publishing the news might upset him; not publishing it might leave him overwhelmed by the Tax Evasion Scandal.

She needed more time to think it through.

To find a way to protect Chu Shixiu best.

“Alright then, take your time. When you’re ready to publish, just give me a call,” her uncle agreed, not pressing further. After discussing business, he added with concern, “Xiao Ai, take care of yourself out there, don’t overwork.”

“Yes, I know. You take care too.”

They chatted about trivial matters, and she handed over the second piece of news to her uncle, asking him to wait for her decision on how to proceed.

Afterward, Gu Xiaoai ended the voice chat.

She deleted the draft she had just written on her computer, staring at the scattered photos on her desk, still hesitating whether to release the news.

Holding Chu Shixiu’s photo, she pondered deeply. What mattered most to him? Love or career?

“Chu Shixiu, what do you care about most?”

Gu Xiaoai murmured to the photo, but the handsome image wouldn’t answer her.

Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around her from behind, warm hands roaming over her body, the heat of a man brushing her cheek.

Startled, Gu Xiaoai dropped the photo from her hand.

Long fingers traced lightly over her chest through the thin fabric, teasingly.

Resisting the urge to struggle, she turned to see Li Juefeng standing behind her, holding her and the white chair back together. His handsome face wasn’t tense; he seemed in a good mood.
