Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Before leaving the Gu manor, the butler sent her a red packet and document.
“Fourth Madam, this is the pocket money Master gave you.”
Yan Xi was in need of money. She took the red packet and documents. “Help me thank Grandfather.”
The butler smiled and said, “You’re too polite. We should be the ones thanking you this time. If you weren’t in the room, no one knew what could’ve happened.”
The butler had thanked her many times and she could tell that he was really scared.
“It’s not a big deal. If you’re worried about Old Master, you can arrange for people to accompany him in the future and let them learn about first aid.”

The butler nodded immediately. “Okay.”
Sitting in the car, Yan Xi impatiently opened the red packet. Inside was a bank card. She didn’t know how much it was, but it should be quite a lot.
She carefully put the bank card away and opened the document. It was actually a transfer of shares.
Gu Hai gave 60% of Taixin Entertainment Media’s shares to Yan Xi, which meant that she would become the biggest shareholder of this company.
Yan Xi was about to invest in an entertainment business when this company was sent to her.
“Grandfather gave me a company!” Yan Xi said excitedly.
Gu Shen took the document and carefully read the terms on it. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he returned it to Yan Xi.
“You saved his life, so it’s not a lot to give you these things. Back then, the old man was shot in the chest but he survived.”
“Shot in the chest!” Yan Xi felt pain when she heard that. “It’s a difficult job to take bullets out of the chest.”
“It’s still in his chest.”
“What?”
“He didn’t take the bullet out,” Gu Shen explained. “It’s still in his chest. Back then, the medical conditions were poor and no one could take it out. Now, no one dares to take it out either.”
Yan Xi frowned. “This will cause a lot of trouble.”
“What can you do?”
Yan Xi did not continue asking and just sighed.
She knew how uncomfortable it would be to have a foreign object in your body, not to mention it was in the chest. Gu Hai must have suffered a lot to live to this day.
Yan Xi was still immersed in her admiration for Old Master Gu when she suddenly felt a force on her hand.
She looked down and realized that Gu Shen was pulling her red packet.
“What are you doing!” She hugged Red Packet to her chest and glared at Gu Shen like a hamster protecting its food.
Gu Shen tutted. “So stingy. I gave you five million but you’re not even willing to give me a million?”
Yan Xi laughed awkwardly. She tugged at Gu Shen’s sleeve and shook it gently. Her voice was sweet and soft.
“Next time, I still have some use for this money. When I earn some money, I’ll give you some pocket money.”
“You want to give me pocket money?” Gu Shen laughed, his deep voice echoing in Yan Xi’s ears. “Stingy girl, I’ll let you off this time.”
Yan Xi smiled too. The dimples at the corner of her lips were very cute. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely earn a lot of money. When the time comes, I’ll use it all on you.”
For some reason, Gu Shen felt that she was talking about curing his legs.
Before he could ask more, the car braked suddenly.
Yan Xi was caught off guard and fell into Gu Shen’s arms.
Gu Shen hugged her and asked with a frown, “Gu Yi, what happened?”
The partition was rolled down. Gu Yi sounded very anxious. The veins on his hands on the steering wheel were bulging.
“President Gu, there are a few cars following us. The car at the front just showed a gun.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a bang on the roof of the car. Someone had fired a shot.
Yan Xi froze on the spot and was a little afraid. She had seen gunfights in movies but this time, she was involved in a real one.
Gu Shen felt her fear and hugged Yan Xi tightly.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
