Chapter 686: Gentleness
I couldn’t help but sigh in my heart. I calmly said, “Lu Yan, have you ever thought that Gu Nian already knows everything?”
Lu Yan was stunned. She subconsciously shook her head. “No, he doesn’t. I’ve done it very discreetly. He... will know everything when he betrays me.”
I smiled bitterly and shook my head.
Mai Qi and Jing Ni also smiled. “If a person is so stupid, what hope is there?”
There’s no hope.
“You can go, Lu Yan,” I finally said.
Lu Yan was stunned. Angel, Jing Ni, and Mai Qi were also stunned.
“I don’t want to bully people who are too dumb.” I smiled.
Lu Yan looked at me angrily, but in the end, she didn’t say anything. She turned around and walked out. She didn’t even care about Angel.
I shouted from behind her, “I’ll give Gu Nian double of everything he has lost. This is my way of repaying him. I will also make Master Gu Er and Master Wei Wu cough up all the assets that they have stolen from him. Lu Yan, you better learn from this. This is the first and last time I’ll let you off!”
Lu Yan didn’t stop, but her footsteps clearly quickened.
Angel ran after her. “Sister Lu Yan...”
Mai Qi nudged me with her elbow. “Not bad. When did you get hold of her weakness?”
I spread my hands. “I didn’t. From the dirt Jing Ni found on her, I merely made logical deductions.”
Jing Ni shrugged and said, “I didn’t really find anything. Do you think I’ve put a camera in her and Gu Nian’s house?”
Mai Qi’s mouth was wide open.
“You, you...”
Neither of us spoke.
Mai Qi sighed heavily. “What have I done to get a sister-in-law and niece like you two? You two must be sent by God to punish me, right?”
“No, we were sent by God to save you!” Jing Ni and I said in unison.
The three of us laughed.
Birds of a feather flock together. Lu Yan would never be our friend.
Gu Nian appeared like a ghost at the entrance of the elevator not far from us. We all shut up. We didn’t know how long he had been standing there. He walked over and stood before us.
I composed myself. “Gu Nian, I’m sorry. I don’t know how much you’ve heard. I found some unusual data, so I came to Lu Yan to trick her. I didn’t expect...”
Gu Nian smiled quietly. “I didn’t expect her to tell you everything.”
I was speechless.
Mai Qi said quickly, “Gu Nian, you can’t have been completely unaware!”
I pulled her back. “Gu Nian, can I invest in your company?”
Gu Nian looked at me. “Nanxing, do you think I’m that frail?”
I shook my head. “No, I didn’t mean that. I just want you to know that I’ll always be behind you. I can’t do anything else, but I think I can still help you with money.”
Gu Nian smiled. “Alright, thank you! If I need anything, I’ll definitely look for you. But please don’t get involved in this matter. I’ll settle it myself, okay?”
His calmness and kindness made me feel sorry for him.
Gu Nian had always been a gentle and reserved person.
Little uncle and Jing Tian, for example, had written all over their bodies that they were not to be trifled with. Even if they didn’t lose their temper, they still gave off a sense of oppression. However, Gu Nian had always been as gentle as jade. He had never lost his temper.
His family background had given him a clear understanding of human nature. It was why he was always so kind and understanding. Because of that, he was taken advantage of by others.
