We looked at each other. I said calmly, âYou 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?â
Lu Yanâs face was deathly pale as she looked at me in horror.
I sighed lightly. âSpeaking of which, this is my fault. I was the one who introduced you to Gu Nian. I didnât expect that I would be the cause of his misfortune.â
Lu Yanâs face was still unsightly, but her expression seemed to have recovered, she sneered. âThatâs 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!â
Well, weâre getting somewhere.
I retorted, âDid you get any benefits? Did you not successfully return to the Gu Family?â
Lu Yan shut her mouth.
I said slowly, âLu Yan, weâre all adults. Letâs not resort to name-calling. You were willing to be our pawn because you also wanted to bring down Ye Qian. Weâve helped you with that and now youâre biting back at us. Youâre right. We didnât get along with Ye Qian back then. Youâre the best weapon to deal with Ye Qian, but what about Gu Nian? That was all your own doing.â
She looked at me coldly.
I smiled. âYouâre trying to say that Gu Nian is your man, so how you treat him is your business, right? Iâm sorry, Iâm a busybody. Gu Nian happened to save my life so I wonât let him sink with you. Lu Yan, donât be too greedy. You canât 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!â
Lu Yan bit her lip tightly.
Mai Qi sneered, âYouâre still thinking of having both, arenât you? Do you think Gu Nian will still be with you if he knows what you did behind his back?â
Lu Yanâs body trembled slightly.
Jing Ni told Mai Qi, âI 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.â

Mai Qi shook her head. âSheâs 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.â
Jing Ni said, âSheâs not stupid. She left herself a way out. If Gu Nian fails her, sheâll turn to Lee Yang.â
Mai Qi and I looked at Jing Ni. âReally? Did you find that out too?â
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 Yanâs reaction had confirmed everything.
I really didnât expect that there would be a cheating couple hidden in this matter. I really felt bad for Gu Nian.
I looked at Lu Yan. âSince thatâs the case, Lu Yan, I wonât stand on ceremony. You donât have any other choice. Return everything to Gu Nian. I donât care what method you use. Otherwise, Iâll beat you back to where you came from!â
Lu Yan gritted her teeth. âOn what grounds? On what basis do you have to treat me like this? Who gave you the right to mind my business?â
I looked at her. âGu 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.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
