Lu Yan turned to Gu Yan. âMiss Gu, should you want to frame me, canât you at least do it better? Si Nan is a special child. You beat him until he confessed. What is the point? To think youâd take Si Nanâs words as confession, do you think Master Gu Er and Master Liu are also fools?â
Gu Yan glared at Si Nan, âImpossible! He is not a retard!â
Lu Yan smiled sadly, âMaster Liu, you can get someone to check with the orphanage to see if what Iâm saying is true. If I have lied, I pray to God that Iâd be hit by a car.â
Lu Yan used the calmest tone to say the scariest things.
The three of us stayed back to watch the show.
Gu Yan quickly grabbed Master Gu Erâs arm. âUncle, you have to believe me. When the man was brought to us, he wasnât like this! Ye Qian, thatâs right! Ye Qian, you have to testify for me! Quickly! Say something! Tell Master Gu Er that this man is only pretending to be a retard!â
Gu Yan must be desperate, or something had put a spell on her. Why else would she speak so incoherently and illogically? Or she thought everyone was as stupid as she was.
Master Gu Er took a glance at Ye Qian.
Ye Qian took a step back and cowed. Ye Qianâs ability was to show weakness at the right time. Master Gu Er understood what Ye Qian meant from her action.
Before Ye Quan said anything, Master Gu Er interrupted. âItâs alright. Youâre the young miss of the Gu Family and my adopted daughter. Your job is not to entertain otherâs fancy.â
Gu Yan couldnât believe her ears. She shook his arms anxiously and kept looking for support. âUncle, Lu Yan has found this person to deceive you! Itâs true!â
Lu Yanâs eyes were already filled with tears. âMaster Gu Er, thank you!â
Master Gu Er turned back to Lu Yan. âMiss Lu, weâre sorry to have come to disturb you. I wanted to thank you in person. If this has offended you, I apologize.â
Lu Yan revealed a sad smile. âMaster Gu Er, thereâs no need for that. Lu Yan never wanted to get involved with Master Gu Er. It was my friend who helped me get the assistant job for Master Liu. I am an unimportant person, and I only want to live a normal life, but that doesnât mean I donât have self-respect. Iâm sorry, but I cannot forgive Miss Gu for trying to ruin my reputation!â
Lu Yanâs words were reasonable and righteous.
Gu Yan exploded. âYou shameless bitch! Do you think you can get away with this? Do you think we canât see through your trick? Let me tell you. You are not going to find a sugar daddy in my second uncle!â
We finally got it. Gu Yan thought Lu Yan wanted to be Master Gu Erâs mistress.
It had to be said that Gu Yan was not ordinarily stupid.
It was impressive that Ye Qian could tolerate her for so many years. Then again, Ye Qian was also lucky because Gu Yanâs incompetence had highlighted how capable Ye Qian was. Gu Yan was instrumental to Ye Qianâs rise to the top.
Lu Yan was shocked and angered by Gu Yanâs rudeness.
Lu Yan tore off the collar of her hospital gown to reveal her snow-white shoulder.
There was a gauze bandage on her shoulder.
âLu Yan!â Ye Qian tried to stop Lu Yan.
Lu Yan pushed her away and swiftly tore off the gauze bandage. There was a hideous bullet hole on her shoulder. Thanks to all the shoving and pushing from Gu Yan, Lu Yanâs wound had ruptured.
