Chapter 1414: 1414. The deeper the foundation, the harder it is to deal with

Compared to that, her son had nothing to compete with Gu Junhang other than relying on his father’s favoritism.

"Yes, Junhang is really outstanding, just like you."

In front of Gu Huanan, she always played the role of a gentle and considerate confidant. Even though she was jealous of Gu Junhang, she wouldn’t be so stupid as to show that emotion. She wasn’t like that fool, Xue Lan.

"Luckily, he isn’t as single-minded as you. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have any leverage on him."

She said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Gu Huanan raised his eyes to look at her, put his hand around her waist and gently pulled her towards him, saying:

"For more than twenty years, I’ve only had you by my side. Isn’t that single-minded enough?"

Jian Yi leaned into his embrace, giggling flirtatiously, and said:

"If you were so single-minded, where did Gu Junhang come from?"

Jian Yi’s words were rather shameless. After all, Gu Junhang was born to Xue Lan, who was married openly and honorably. Gu Huanan’s lack of single-mindedness only led to the birth of her son, Gu Junhao. Otherwise, who knows where Gu Junhao would be.

Anyone hearing her words might find them a bit twisted, but Gu Huanan was blinded by love and didn’t take Jian Yi’s words as jealousy seriously. In fact, he even found this normally unpretentious and gentle woman’s rare display of jealousy in front of him quite amusing and refreshing.

Raising his hand, he pinched Jian Yi’s cheek and said, "Are you jealous?"

"Humph,"

Jian Yi let out a delicate snort, displaying a childish temper.

Gu Huanan moved closer to coax her, saying, "Alright, alright. I’m not single-minded, so aren’t I making amends by paving the way for our son now?"

A triumphant smile flashed in Jian Yi’s eyes.

Was she really jealous?

Of course not. She knew that Gu Huanan had no feelings for Xue Lan, and if he could easily escape her grasp, he wouldn’t have had no other women by his side for over twenty years.

Her seemingly genuine jealousy was merely a pretext to gauge Gu Huanan’s exact attitude and commitment to helping their son.

Gu Junhang had power, and he held half of the Gu Family in his hands.

If they couldn’t successfully drive him out of the Gu Family, the best outcome would be her son and Gu Junhang each controlling half of the family business.

But at that point, with Gu Junhang’s abilities, could her son stand a chance?

At that time, Gu Junhang might just swallow the entire Gu Family whole.

Instead of waiting for that, it was better to nip this possibility in the bud.

With that thought, she laughed and said, "I’m just kidding. Don’t I know your heart? I’m just worried that Junhao isn’t Gu Junhang’s match. You’re paving the way for him now, but what about in the future?"

What Jian Yi could think of, Gu Huanan - an experienced businessman - could naturally also foresee.

There are only two possible outcomes for the Gu Family: it either goes to his elder son, Gu Junhang, or his younger son, Gu Junhao.

If it were split between the two, her younger son might not get a cent of the family assets given Gu Junhang’s capabilities.

"Don’t worry, I’ve been prepared for this for a long time."

Leaning in his embrace, Jian Yi didn’t ask further, waiting for him to continue—

"Gu Junhang can’t stay in the Gu Family for long. He’s already difficult to deal with now, and if we let him stay in the family any longer, the deeper his roots grow, the harder it will be to drive him out in the future."
