Gu Lingyu was finally relieved by Su Yanâs attitude. This was how he had imagined Su Yan to look after he had broken off their engagement.
Gu Lingyu sat down with a smug look on his face. So what if Gu Ruoyun was powerful? Wasnât her fiancée still madly in love with him and had even beaten someone up for him on the street.
âSu Yan, Gu Ruoyun is not a good person. Iâm currently being boycotted by him everywhere. I Canât help you with anything, even if I wanted to, I canât.â Gu Lingyu looked as if he was doing this for Su Yan. He paused for a moment before speaking again, âIf you can help me investigate some things in the Guangping Imperial residence, Iâll naturally be able to stand up for you once I have the power.â
At this moment, Gu Lingyu did not hide his ambition at all to show Su Yan.
Su Yan looked at the greed in Gu Lingyuâs eyes and suddenly asked another question, âBrother Lingyu, do you still remember the time when you saved me when I was young?â
.
Hearing Su Yan suddenly mention the things that happened when he was young, Gu Lingyu paused. He did not know what Su Yan wanted to say.
âOf course I remember. At that time, you were really scared. You hugged my leg and refused to let go.â However, this was to improve Su Yanâs impression of him, so Gu Lingyu also revealed a nostalgic look.
âThen, Brother Lingyu, do you still remember what you called me at that time? I want to hear it again.â
Gu Lingyu could not see any expression on Su Yanâs face. It was not like he was the one who did the incident back then. How would he know what to call her? Gu Lingyu could only bite the bullet and say,
âTime has saved me. I donât even remember anything now.â After saying that, Gu Lingyu even knocked his head in frustration, as if he was blaming himself for not forgetting.
âAt that time, Brother Lingyu addressed me as his younger sister.â Su Yan pouted and said unhappily.
âOh, right, Iâve remembered. I used to call you my younger sister.â
Just as Gu Lingyu finished speaking, the door to the main hall was suddenly opened.
âSu Yan, I heard that Lingyu was here, so I came to look for you guys. The three of us havenât been together for a long time. Su Yan wonât mind my uninvited visit, right?â
Su Qiao could tell at a glance that she had dressed up meticulously. When she saw Gu Lingyu, her eyes lit up. Gu Lingyu had not gone to look for her for a long time. When she heard that he had come to the Su residence, Su Qiao hurriedly rushed over.
Behind Su Qiao was an anxious-looking servant. When he noticed Su Yanâs gaze, he quickly apologized.
âIâm sorry, miss. Miss Su Qiao forced her way in. I couldnât stop her.â
Su Yan waved her hand to dismiss the servant. âCousin is already here. Donât you think itâs unnecessary to say such words?â
Su Qiaoâs face darkened because of the servant and Su Yanâs words. She had shed all pretense of cordiality with Su Yan, but she did not expect Su Yan to be so disrespectful in front of Gu Lingyu.
She glared at Su Yan angrily in front of Gu Lingyu, feeling that it was all her fault.
If Su Yan had not taken away her privilege of entering and leaving the Su residence at will, she would have forced her way into the Su residence.
If Gu Lingyu was not here, she would not have been willing to come in!
âAlright, Su Yan, Qiao Qiao also wanted to look for me, so donât make things difficult for her.â
Gu Lingyuâs tone was obviously dissatisfied with Su Yanâs harsh treatment of her cousin.
Looking at the two of them calling each other Ling Yu and Qiao Qiao, it was so obvious, how did she not realize it in her previous life?
âSince Brother Lingyu has spoken, then cousin, please take a seat.â
Su Yan had tried to probe Gu Lingyu about his childhood just now because she wanted to know when the two of them hooked up. She had only told Su Qiao about her falling into the water and being saved.
