Song Fan believed that this response would leave Director Zhang thoroughly perplexed.

Furthermore, he would likely rush to inform Gu Hai, disrupting all of his schemes. However, Song Fan felt no guilt about this.

After all, the Gu Corporation had no connection to her. She couldn’t care less whether it descended into further chaos because of her words. As long as they refrained from bothering her in the immediate future, she was content.

Director Zhang, after finally managing to regain his composure, inquired,

“What is this good thing you mentioned, Miss Song?”

“It is of course the future of the Gu Corporation,” Song Fan replied, feigning a glance at her stomach.

She smiled as she left, leaving Director Zhang utterly confounded. He stood there, bewildered, and even began to clutch his chest as though he might faint. A passing nurse came to his aid, helping him back to his ward and summoning the doctor.

His assistant, who had hurried over and questioned, “What’s the matter? Do you intend to leak this information?”

Director Zhang’s ailment was merely for show over the years. So, the assistant believed that he was simply engaging in another act to mislead outsiders. Director Zhang closed his eyes and replied weakly, “I’m truly not feeling well.”

The news had been an unexpected shock. He hadn’t anticipated that Gu Chen was expecting a child.

This wasn’t just any child, though. Song Fan was the eldest daughter of the Song family, which meant their child would automatically have inheritance rights within the Gu Family. The Song Family would undoubtedly spare no effort to support this child. When that happened, it would be even more challenging for Gu Hai to wrest away those inheritance rights.

Director Zhang expressed his anger, saying, “Gu Chen is such a despicable person. How can he do such a thing.”

The person on the receiving end of the scolding was oblivious to these developments. He had been occupied with his work, making it impossible to find any free time. As a result, Song Fan didn’t undertake any missions for several days. After all, teaming up was far more enjoyable.

Moreover, he noticed that since lunchtime, Gu Hai had been giving him increasingly unfriendly glares. There was no pretense of politeness anymore; Gu Hai l s expression seemed to indicate he had done something wrong.

Gu Chen turned to Su Yang and instructed, “Go and find out if anything has happened. My second uncle doesn’t appear to be in good shape.”

Gu Hai was rushed to the hospital immediately after his meeting. His face filled with anger. “Are you certain about this?”

Director Zhang’s face darkened as he responded, “I’m about 80% sure. Song Fan is still a young lady, and it’s unlikely she would lie about something like this, especially in such a manner.”

Gu Hai shared this belief. Such an issue could significantly affect a girl’s reputation, so it didn’t seem plausible that Song Fan would fabricate it. Both of them failed to consider that Song Fan was merely making things up and fell into the trap of assuming the Song Family would support Gu Chen.

“No, I can’t allow that kid to get the upper hand.” Gu Hai couldn’t sit still any longer.

Director Zhang hastily restrained him and reasoned, “What are you planning to do by rushing out now? Are you going to confront Gu Chen?”

Gu Hai understood that wasn’t a viable plan. He could already imagine how proud Gu Chen must be feeling. He’d successfully captured the Song Family’s daughter. It was only a matter of time before he announced their impending marriage.

Gu Hai vented, “If I’d known earlier, I would’ve brought my son back and encouraged him to pursue the Song Family’s daughter.”

However, such fantasies were futile. Now that Gu Chen and Song Fan had a child, there was nothing they could do.

Director Zhang sighed deeply. “Our next step should be figuring out how to handle this situation. Some members of the board of directors have been waiting on the sidelines. If they discover the connection between Gu Chen and the Song Family, it’ll certainly create chaos.”

Gu Hai understood the gravity of the situation, but he couldn’t come up with an immediate solution. After a brief pause, Director Zhang spoke, “I recall that the Song Family has another daughter.”

Gu Hai was aware that he was referring to Song Yin. He shook his head and clarified, “She’s just a daughter brought into the family by Mrs. Song. She has no blood ties with the Song Family.”

Director Zhang countered, “In such matters, blood relations aren’t the only determining factor. If this Second Miss maintains a strong relationship with the Song Family, she might still stand a chance to compete with Song Fan.”

Gu Hai pondered this notion and found it plausible. If he could arrange for his son to marry Song Yin, it might disrupt the support Gu Chen was garnering from the board of directors. It would remain uncertain which daughter the Song Family would ultimately support.

He agreed, saying, “I’ll have someone look into the Song Family’s situation immediately. If this Second Miss holds any sway, I’ll summon Gu Zhuo back. He’s been away for many years, and it’s time for him to contribute to the family.”

The two of them crafted a detailed plan for the future. Little did they know that it was all based on a misunderstanding. Gu Chen had no intention of using a marriage alliance to secure the board of directors’ support.

From his perspective, relying on his wife’s family’s influence would entail relinquishing power in the long run..
