Chapter 768: It Doesn’t Belong To You (2)

For a long time, no one spoke in the meeting room.

In the end, one of the directors couldn’t hold it in anymore and said weakly, “Since the results are even, should we... vote again?”

Zuo Si replied, “I have an appointment with a client. If you want to vote again, that’s fine. But, you have to look at my schedule. Make an appointment with my assistant in advance.”

With that, she stood up and left the meeting room in her high heels without looking back.

Once Zuo Si left, the directors who had voted for her also stood up and left.

Without everyone present, it was impossible to organize a second vote. The remaining directors also stood up. They greeted Zuo An and left one after another.

In the meeting room, only Zuo An, Xu Weilai, and Qiao Chu were left.

Qiao Chu walked to Zuo An’s side and placed the card in his hand, which he had not put down, in front of Zuo An. Then, he bowed slightly and walked out of the meeting room. He even closed the meeting room door.

Zuo An did not look at the small card. He lifted his eyelids. His gaze was fixed on Xu Weilai’s face. He did not even say a word. He waited patiently for her to speak first.

Xu Weilai threw the pen in her hand away and took out her phone. Her fingers pressed on the screen quickly. At the same time, she looked up at him and said, “I want to drink Starbucks. I’ll call for delivery and order a cup of Americano for you.”

She didn’t get a response from Zuo An but it didn’t matter. She quickly placed the order and then put down her phone.

She extended her arm and took the small card from Zuo An. She raised it in front of him and said, “That’s right. I voted for Zuo Si using the half of the shares that you gave me.”

Zuo An didn’t even need to look at the card. From the moment he saw the change in Qiao Chu’s expression, he had already realized what had happened. It was just that he didn’t want to admit it until he heard it from her personally.

He pursed his lips. His voice was still as gentle as always. “Why?”

Xu Weilai shrugged. “Why else? This position, this company, they don’t belong to you.”

Zuo An lowered his gaze. “You want to protect the company for Gu Yu. Have you thought about how you’re going to protect yourself?”

Even though the person she voted for was Zuo Si, the result was that Gu Yu was still the CEO. It didn’t matter if Zuo Si or he took down the Gu Corporation. They could still answer to Father Zuo either way. But, when she did this, it was equivalent to publicly challenging him.

Father Zuo kept her because of him but also because he had evidence of Xu Weilai’s murder in his hands. He wasn’t afraid that she would betray him.

Now that she had done this, Father Zuo wouldn’t tolerate her anymore.

Sure enough, Zuo An’s phone rang. Because his phone was on the table, both of them could clearly see that the caller ID was Father Zuo.

Zuo An ignored the call and stubbornly stared at her, saying, “Weilai, I will organize another board meeting as soon as possible. If you vote for me, I can keep my father on hold.”

Xu Weilai smiled at him.

Her bright smile was as glamorous as the sunlight outside. It caused Zuo An to fall into a daze.

Then, she said, word by word, “No matter how many board meetings you organize, the person I vote for won’t be you. Do you want to protect me? Have you asked for my opinion? Am I willing to let you protect me?”

“Zuo An, you forced me to kill Gu Yu with my own hands and then come to me and pretend to be affectionate. Do you think I have to accept such an arrangement?” Xu Weilai found it ridiculous. “Let me tell you, it doesn’t matter what you think. I will only do what I want.”

She didn’t give Zuo An any chance to react. She picked up her phone again and made a call.
