Chapter 684: Hit
We looked at each other. I said calmly, “You love him, so you set a trap for him. You forced him to hand over his assets to Master Gu Er and Master Wei Wu. You love him, so you made him their puppet. You love him, so you sold him out to them. Lu Yan, is this how you love Gu Nian?”
Lu Yan’s face was deathly pale as she looked at me in horror.
I sighed lightly. “Speaking of which, this is my fault. I was the one who introduced you to Gu Nian. I didn’t expect that I would be the cause of his misfortune.”
Lu Yan’s face was still unsightly, but her expression seemed to have recovered, she sneered. “That’s a nice way of putting it. Did you introduce me to Gu Nian out of kindness? You merely treated me as a pawn to attack Ye Qian. So stop twisting the story around and paint yourself as a good person!”
Well, we’re getting somewhere.!!
I retorted, “Did you get any benefits? Did you not successfully return to the Gu Family?”
Lu Yan shut her mouth.
I said slowly, “Lu Yan, we’re all adults. Let’s not resort to name-calling. You were willing to be our pawn because you also wanted to bring down Ye Qian. We’ve helped you with that and now you’re biting back at us. You’re right. We didn’t get along with Ye Qian back then. You’re the best weapon to deal with Ye Qian, but what about Gu Nian? That was all your own doing.”
She looked at me coldly.
I smiled. “You’re trying to say that Gu Nian is your man, so how you treat him is your business, right? I’m sorry, I’m a busybody. Gu Nian happened to save my life so I won’t let him sink with you. Lu Yan, don’t be too greedy. You can’t have the cake and eat it too. You have to make a choice. Gu Nian or Master Gu Er and Master Wei Wu, pick one!”
Lu Yan bit her lip tightly.
Mai Qi sneered, “You’re still thinking of having both, aren’t you? Do you think Gu Nian will still be with you if he knows what you did behind his back?”
Lu Yan’s body trembled slightly.
Jing Ni told Mai Qi, “I used to think that she really loved Gu Nian! It turns out that everything in this world is just a tool for her to climb up and protect herself.”
Mai Qi shook her head. “She’s silly. She thinks that once she reaches the top of the Gu Family and latches on Gu Nian, she can control the world. Lu Yan, you should know that Gu Nian is different from the other Brothers.”
Jing Ni said, “She’s not stupid. She left herself a way out. If Gu Nian fails her, she’ll turn to Lee Yang.”
Mai Qi and I looked at Jing Ni. “Really? Did you find that out too?”
Jing Ni snorted.
We looked at Lu Yan together.
Lu Yan was as shocked as we were.
Ma Qi and I shook our heads. Lu Yan’s reaction had confirmed everything.
I really didn’t expect that there would be a cheating couple hidden in this matter. I really felt bad for Gu Nian.
I looked at Lu Yan. “Since that’s the case, Lu Yan, I won’t stand on ceremony. You don’t have any other choice. Return everything to Gu Nian. I don’t care what method you use. Otherwise, I’ll beat you back to where you came from!”
Lu Yan gritted her teeth. “On what grounds? On what basis do you have to treat me like this? Who gave you the right to mind my business?”
I looked at her. “Gu Nian saved my life back then, so is that not enough? Since he has saved my life, I will save his family fortune. That is the least I can do.”
