Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jiang Yining heaved a sigh of relief.

Gu Zhanqing sensed her joy at Lu Zhi’s arrival, which made him even more annoyed and angry. He said to the servant sternly, “Let him go. Just say that Yining only stayed at home for a while and left.”

The servant looked at Jiang Yining and answered hesitantly, “Yes.”

With that, he turned around and left.

Jiang Yining understood his intentions and exploded in anger. “Gu Zhanqing, how dare you force me to stay?”

“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Gu Zhanqing said coldly, “You are originally a member of the Gu family. I’m afraid you’ve forgotten this after letting you wander around for too long. Today, I will remind you to remember who you belong to.”

“You bastard!”

Jiang Yining scolded angrily and raised her leg to kick his lower body, struggling hard.

She wanted to break free from his shackles.

However, Gu Zhanqing had raised her for more than ten years and was already familiar with her tricks.

He effortlessly seized control.

Jiang Yining, filled with hatred, opened her mouth and bit down on his wrist.

Gu Zhanqing raised his hand, wanting to hit her.

However, when his gaze met her eyes filled with hatred, he abruptly stopped.

He stopped moving and let her bite him.

Very soon…

Jiang Yining tasted the blood in her mouth.

She stopped.

“Didn’t you detain me because you wanted to get the Curium from me? Gu Zhanqing, let me tell you, even if you forcibly take me away, 1 won’t synthesize a single milliliter of Curium for you.” Jiang Yining was neither servile nor overbearing, not yielding in the slightest.

“I have ways to make you listen to me if 1 can take you away.”

In the past ten years, he had been able to subdue her.

In the future, he would still be able to subdue her tightly.

Gu Zhanqing was very confident.

Jiang Yining secretly spat in her heart.

“Uncle, what are you doing with Yining?”

Jiang Ron’s voice suddenly sounded.

Gu Zhanqing subconsciously let go of Jiang Yining’s hand.

In that split second, Jiang Yining reacted, kicked his knee, and broke free to run.

Gu Zhanqing wanted to chase after her. How could he have time?

Besides…

There was still Jiang Rou behind him.

He could only watch helplessly as she ran away.

When Jiang Rou saw that Jiang Yining had attacked him, she rushed to Gu Zhanqing and asked, “Uncle, are you okay?” Why did Yining hit you?”

“It’s fine. 1 reprimanded her.” Gu Zhanqing supported Jiang Rou and asked, “Why are you up? Didn’t 1 tell you to rest well?”

Jiang Ron’s cheeks had a hint of blush as she said, “I heard some arguing just now, so I got up to take a look.” After a pause, she added, “Uncle, don’t blame Yining. She has always had a strange temper.”

“Okay.”

Gu Zhanqing said calmly, “Go back and rest first. Lu Zhi is here to pick Yining up. I’ll send them off.”

“Alright.”

Jiang Rou nodded and went back sickly.

At the entrance of the living room, the servant had just finished informing Lu Zhi.

Jiang Yining ran out in a hurry and threw herself into Lu Zhi’s arms.

The servant was speechless.

Lu Zhi hugged the slightly flustered Jiang Yining. He glanced at the servant and said, “It seems like you’re mistaken about something.”

His tone wasn’t heavy, but it felt like a thousand pounds of stone.

It was so heavy that it was difficult to breathe.

The servant lowered his head and dared not speak.

Jiang Yining knew that these people were only doing things for money, and the culprit was still Gu Zhanqing.

She said to Lu Zhi, “Let’s go home and not bother with these people.”

“Okay.”

Lu Zhi held her hand and withdrew his gaze.

Just as the two of them were about to leave.

Gu Zhanqing walked over unhurriedly and said, “Nephew-in-law, you came all the way here. Come in and have a seat. Have a cup of tea before you leave.”

“No need, I’m not thirsty.”

Lu Zhi refused coldly without giving him any face.

Gu Zhanqing didn’t feel embarrassed. He smiled and said, “I heard from Yining that she can synthesize Curium. Our two families are in-laws. Why don’t we work together on this project? It’s mutually beneficial and win-win. We won’t give outsiders the advantage.”

When Lu Zhi heard this, he knew that Yining was unwilling to cooperate with the Gu family.

Otherwise, how could she not tell him about the existence of curium ore?

Thinking of how Gu Zhanqing had abused Yining in the past, Lu Zhi’s face turned even colder. “Sorry, I’m not interested in the development of Curium. Therefore, I can’t agree to the cooperation. As for the Curium in our hands, Yining and I have already released the news that we have decided to hold an auction. The highest bidder will get it. We’ve also informed our family’s old friends, the Tao family, about this matter in advance. It’s not convenient for me to go back on my word.”

“If Uncle Gu is interested, you can join the auction. I believe that with the Gu family’s strength, you can secure the winning bid.”

He spoke politely, but every word he said was a rejection for Gu Zhanqing.

Gu Zhanqing’s expression turned cold. “You’re disregarding our family relationship. If this spreads, it might be detrimental to Yining. You don’t care even if it’s like this?”

Jiang Yining was accepted by the Lu family so quickly largely because she was the daughter of the Gu family.

If Gu Zhanqing declared a severance of ties with Jiang Yining, the attitude of the Lu family toward her might be uncertain.

Gu Zhanqing was not resorting to open threats, as the business negotiation wasn’t going well.

Lu Zhi smiled and said, “With me protecting Yining, who would dare to harm her?”

He held Jiang Yining’s small hand with his big hand.

His face was filled with determination and conviction.

Jiang Yining’s heart was filled with warmth. She turned to Gu Zhanqing and said, “What’s my situation? 1 don’t need to trouble Uncle to consider it.”

“Oh right, another reminder for you. Everyone who wants to participate in the auction has to pay 20 million in advance as a qualification to enter.”

“Since you’re my uncle, I’ll raise your price tenfold, considering it as a support for me and Ah Zhi.”

After Jiang Yining finished speaking, she no longer looked at Gu Zhanqing.

She looked up at Lu Zhi with a radiant smile and said, “Honey, let’s go home. I’m starving.”

“Alright.”

Lu Zhi smiled dotingly and patted her head.

He nodded slightly at Gu Zhanqing and left with her.

Gu Zhanqing looked at their backs as they left, and his face became colder.

In the end…

He clenched his fist and said, word by word, “Lu Zhi, 1’11 make you regret it and go against me.”

Yining was a member of the Gu family in life and would remain a ghost of the Gu family in death.

It wasn’t Lu Zhi’s turn to interfere!

They left the resort.

Jiang Yining got into the car and showed a relaxed expression. “Thank you for coming today. Otherwise, Gu Zhanqing would definitely detain me in order to get the materials.”

“If he dares to detain you, 1 will make sure the Gu family has no peace.”

Lu Zhi’s tone was cold.

Jiang Yining smiled and leaned on his shoulder as she asked, “How did you know I was here?”

“The housekeeper told me.”

There must be something fishy about Gu Zhanqing’s sudden visit to her for no reason.

Lu Zhi was worried and rushed over.

Jiang Yining didn’t expect the gossip-loving housekeeper to be so useful.

She decided to give her a raise when they got home.

“Why is your wrist red?”

Lu Zhi noticed the red mark on her wrist and his face darkened.

Jiang Yining said, “1 wanted to leave, but he grabbed me. It was pulled out. It’s not a big problem. It’ll disappear in a while.”

When Lu Zhi heard this, he was extremely annoyed.

Damn Gu Zhanqing!

Sooner or later, he would make Gu Zhanqing pay for what he had done!
