The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage Chapter 1268 – The Gu Family Is Nothing Without Gu Jingze

Chapter 1268 The Gu Family Is Nothing Without Gu Jingze

Xue Mengqi looked at the security guards outside. After Gu Jingze had taken his guards with him, these guards were all new. They had been stationed here by the Gu family’s clan relatives. They were still not familiar with this place, so they looked much more inexperienced than the former security guards in the headquarters.

But there was a group of them who had been there previously as the former security guards at the headquarters were not comprised only of Gu Jingze’s guards. A few other security guards had been stationed there by the clan relatives. However, since they were in name employed by the clan relatives, Gu Jingze could not take them with him. Thus, they could only look on helplessly as Gu Jingze left. They themselves appeared slightly awkward here.

After all, all of them had been tasked to protect Gu Jingze back then. Now that Gu Jingze was gone, they were not well-received by the clan relatives since they had protected Gu Jingze before. The clan relatives would definitely suspect that these people had pledged loyalty to Gu Jingze. On Gu Jingze’s end, there was absolutely no way he would bring them with him since they were originally with the clan relatives.

Therefore, as they looked at the newbies right now, they could not help but find them amateur.

If Gu Jingze was around, people of their caliber would not even qualify to get into the headquarters.

However, as the clan relatives did not have sufficient manpower, all the people they had sent here were those who had just started training.

Xue Mengqi looked on and called the veterans in immediately. Since early on, she had wanted to have her own personal guards. However, she and the rest did not qualify for it.

In the past, when she saw that Gu Jingze’s personal guards were so formidable, had absolute loyalty towards him, and put their master before them everywhere they went, she felt jealous beyond compare.

But at the time, everyone would definitely have made a joke out of her if she said she wanted personal guards. The Gu family would not train personal guards for them and it would further expose her ambition.

So, Xue Mengqi could only envy him in her heart and dared not say a word.

But things were different now. Gu Jingze had left and the clan relatives were managing the headquarters. She was perfectly well-placed to bring it up.

As a result, she immediately took a look at the security guards currently in her home, only to realize that not one of them could match up to Gu Jingze’s personal guards. Whether in terms of their capability or experience, they could not compare.

Personal guards like them would merely be personal guards in name. They would be no different from ordinary security guards either.

After looking over and over again, she still felt that the security guards at the headquarters back then were the best.

She also understood that the people chosen by Gu Jingze would definitely be different from others. They would definitely have gone through many rounds of selection. Naturally, they were much better than others.

In no time, she gathered everyone to the office. Then, she smiled and said, “Congratulations, all of you. I’m telling all of you now that you’ve become personal guards. Henceforth, you will no longer be ordinary security guards. You will have your own organization, your responsibilities and your own mission.”

In the Gu family, becoming a personal guard was an extremely high honor.

Because only the strongest people, the elites during training and actual operations. Could be selected to become personal guards.

Becoming a personal guard also meant that you were the strongest.

Thus, when she said that they were going to be personal guards, she was basically congratulating all of them.

However, the people in front looked at each other without any joy on their faces at all.

They had no reaction to this at all.

Xue Mengqi asked, “Why is it that all of you don’t want this honor?”

However, condescension was written all over everyone’s faces when they looked at the haughty Xue Mengqi.

“Miss Xue, whose personal guards are we? The Gu family doesn’t have a master anymore.”

Xue Mengqi said, “There’s no master now. But there will be in the future.”

“In that case, let’s talk about this again when a master is chosen in the future.”

Xue Mengqi’s expression changed completely.

“What do all of you mean by this?”

The people in front said, “All personal guards serve the head of the family and the people whom the master instructs them to serve. The first master they follow after leaving the training camp is their master for life. At the moment, we don’t have a master, nor are we fresh out of the training camp, so we’re not suitable.”

Xue Mengqi said, “Those rules were made by people. Naturally, they can also be changed by people.”

“What’s the point then? You can just instruct us as security guards.”

Personal guards like these would no longer be the most powerful personal guards of the past.

Xue Mengqi looked at these people. She could clearly sense the obvious disdain with which they treated her.

They did not have much respect for her at all.

Xue Mengqi slammed the table. “Get this straight, all of you. Right now, the Gu family doesn’t have a master anymore. But we are still your masters. The Gu family has not dissolved and I, Xue Mengqi, am one of the main people running it now.”

They scoffed. “But you’re not Mr Gu.”

“You.. You guys don’t want to work anymore, right…”

“A place like this is no longer suitable for us to stay,” he said.

Xue Mengqi’s face turn ashen. She could not believe that they were rolling their eyes at her when she harbored good intentions of promoting them.

She felt all the more so when she saw that he was not the only one with such an expression. Nearly everyone had such an expression.

One after another, they said, “Exactly. Our master isn’t Mr. Gu, and the people outside are all sissies fresh out of the training camp. How lame.”

“I can’t believe such weak people have the nerve to come to the headquarters.”

“The headquarters will never be the headquarters of the past.”

“Precisely. There’s no point in us being here anymore.”

“It’s better for us to resign and seek Mr. Gu out.”

“Sure. Let’s go and look for Mr. Gu.”

The entire row of people started to make noise.

Xue Mengqi was truly dumbfounded.

Over here, all else aside, just the salary alone was impossibly tempting. But they actually wanted to resign and look for Gu Jingze.

Were they serious?

“Hey, you guys…” Xue Mengqi gritted her teeth. “Fine, fine. Go ahead and look for him. The current Gu Jingze is no longer the Gu Jingze of the past too. He’s no longer the head of the Gu family. He’s merely an ordinary wealthy man. As compared to the Gu family, he’s nothing now. In the future, the Gu family will definitely target him and squeeze whatever he has now, completely dry. If you follow him, you can forget about ever getting the honor and salary you have here. When that happens, all of you will just go cold and hungry.”

They scoffed briefly and looked at Xue Mengqi.

“We’re perfectly willing to go cold and hungry as long as we’re with Mr. Gu.”

“Exactly. Who is Mr. Gu? Do you think just anyone can become Gu Jingze?”

“If there’s even one person among you idiots who is stronger than Mr. Gu, I’ll walk on my knees.”

“All of you added up can’t even compare to one Mr. Gu. Yet you still want to go against Mr. Gu.”

While speaking, they removed the uniform they were wearing immediately and threw their uniforms aside with their badges.

“Without Mr. Gu, the Gu family crest is just rubbish.”

They walked out immediately after throwing their uniforms aside.

They left Xue Mengqi behind alone. She looked at the uniforms and badges on the ground. She was so angry that her entire body was trembling.

Gu Jingze was idling about at home. After withdrawing from the Gu family, he accompanied Lin Che to her company.

Lin Che said, “There’s nothing else to do for the game now. But before this, we nearly got a lawsuit on our hands.”

Gu Jingze said, “With your level of intelligence, it’s possible that you didn’t take everything into consideration.”
