In the golden age, the beginning involves controlling Zhu Suosuo.

Jiang Lai really wanted to go inside and see what Gu Jia looked like when she was asleep.

Thinking about what Gu Jia said, it was such a big difference from her usual image.

No, I simply can't believe it.

Jiang Lai went to the balcony, looked at the scenery outside, and found that this was a really nice spot.

Jiang Lai said, "Standing so high up and looking at the scenery outside feels wonderful."

Wang Manni said with a smile, "That's right, Yi Ge bought the house here because of the beautiful scenery."

Jiang Lai looked at Wang Manni and asked, "Manni, can I ask you something?"

Wang Manni smiled and said, "Of course."

When Jiang Lai said that, Wang Manni knew what she was going to ask.

Sure enough, the next moment, Jiang Lai asked, "Manny, can you tolerate your boyfriend having other women?"

Wang Manni said, "It wasn't possible before, but it was later."

Jiang Lai looked at Wang Manni and asked, "Why?"

Wang Manni: "Because of Gu Gu's matter."

Wang Manni recounted Gu Jia's story in great detail.

Jiang Lai was furious after hearing this.

Jiang Lai cursed, "That Xu Huanshan is disgusting! He cheated on his wife and then turned around and accused others. How can there be such a man?"

Wang Manni said with a smile, "Gu Gu is such a good person. She is busy with everything and did her job to become a housewife in order to take care of her family."

Even so, Gu Jia couldn't let go of things at the company; all the company's clients were found by Gu Gu.

She has sacrificed so much for this family.

The results of it?

As a result, Xu Huanshan cheated on Gu Jia, and not only that, he also framed her.

Yi was furious. He hadn't done anything wrong, but he was being blamed. So Yi hired someone to follow Xu Huanshan.

Only then did I realize that Xu Huanshan did this to kick Gu Jia out and leave her with nothing.

Wang Manni said with a smile, "Jiang Lai, can you imagine? How much of a blow must a woman who is so focused on her family have suffered to become like this?"

Later, Gu Gu changed.

It was around that time that Gu Jia got together with Yi Ge.

Jiang Lai never expected that there were so many hidden secrets involved.

Wang Manni said with a smile: "I was also very disgusted at first, thinking that my man should have other women in his heart."

After what happened with Gu Jia, I realized that men can't be held onto. If they have you in their heart, they'll always have you in their lives.

I don't care about you; I wish you were dead.

Even if I find a boyfriend, will things stay good for me? Probably not.

Wang Manni: "The reason I like Brother Yi so much is because he's so good to me."

I've only been with him for a short time, and he's already given me over a million.

He asked me to build a villa and buy a house for my family, so I could live in such a nice house, drive luxury cars, wear luxury clothes, and receive hundreds of thousands of yuan in pocket money.

I also give my parents gifts during holidays and festivals. I gave them gifts yesterday, and they were very happy to see them.

What do I have that Brother Yi would care about? I used to be just someone who bought luxury goods.

I have nothing but this person. If Brother Yi likes me, then I am his.

I am very content.

Jiang Lai listened and nodded silently.

Jiang Lai realized that Wang Manni's entire heart was shaped by Lin Yi.

Jiang Lai laughed and said, "Lin Yi is really willing to spend money on his woman."

I know many big bosses, but none are as generous as him.

"Ah."

Wang Manni burst out laughing.

In Wang Manni's view, Yi Ge also loves her; she is Yi Ge's girlfriend.

(I saw the comments in the book review section. The author specifically explained that Qu Xiaoxiao is just a casual fling, the kind that comes when called and goes when dismissed.)

Seeing how she got completely flustered during her first conversation with the protagonist, and then thinking about her arrogant personality, doesn't it feel satisfying?

So, communicating with Qu Xiaoxiao wasn't about recruiting her, it was just to seduce her...you know what I mean.

Don't worry, everyone. How could the author possibly choose a character who is not likable?

One last thing: Who else would you like to see featured? Tell me, and the author will add them.

Chapter 117 I'll take care of Gu Jia, Xu Huanshan, you can rest in peace.

After discussing Lin Yi, Gu Jia, and Wang Manni, Jiang Lai gained a better understanding of their situations.

So that's what happened.

Gu Jia's current state is largely due to Xu Huanshan.

Wang Manni turned into this because she was frightened.

Even a woman as capable as Gu Jia could be abandoned—let alone her.

Therefore, Wang Manni no longer craves a marriage certificate. In her view, a man who loves her and holds her in his heart is the most important person.

Jiang Lai said, "My mother also said that it's unrealistic to try to tie a man down with a marriage certificate."

Men are like springs; you can't control them too tightly, or they'll bounce back stronger.

Wang Manni said with a smile, "What Auntie said makes a lot of sense."

Jiang Lai and Wang Manni looked at the Huangpu River in the distance, watching the ships coming and going.

Before I knew it, I had been watching for quite a while.

Time slips away quietly.

Jiang Lai suddenly asked, "As far as I know, given Gu Jia's personality, she wouldn't just let it go like that, would she?"

"of course not."

Jiang Lai said with a smile, "Gu Jia made Xu Huanshan leave with nothing. She gave everything to Gu Jia and only left Xu Huanshan that company."

"What? They even left Xu Huanshan a company?"

The company is the real cash cow; as long as the company doesn't go bankrupt, it can make a lot of money.

"With Gu Jia's knowledge, she shouldn't be so short-sighted." Jiang Lai was astonished upon hearing this.

"That's what I thought too, and I even asked Gu Gu, but it wasn't true. It was a trap left by Gu Gu," Wang Manni said with a smile.

"What kind of pit is this? I don't see it." Jiang Lai asked.

Just as Wang Manni was about to speak, Gu Jia ran out with her hair disheveled.

She quickly washed up, took a shower, put on some light makeup, grabbed her bag, and headed out.

Wang Manni pulled Gu, who was about to leave.

Wang Manni asked, "Gu Gu, why are you in such a hurry? What's wrong?"

Gu Jia said with a smile, "I'm going to watch the fun, are you guys coming?"

Wang Manni asked instinctively, "What's all the commotion about?"

Gu Jia said with a smile, "Someone told me that Xu Huanshan's fireworks factory exploded, killing one person and injuring six."

Xu Huanshan is unable to pay compensation and is estimated to be sentenced to more than fifteen years in prison.

"Hi~"

When Jiang Lai heard this news, she seemed to suddenly understand something.

Holy crap, this woman is ruthless!

This is Jiang Lai's strongest feeling about Gu Jia.

In just a few days, Jiang Lai's feelings for Gu Jia have changed several times.

When they first met, Jiang Lai assumed Gu Jia was a sophisticated young woman in business attire.

Last night, after what happened, Jiang Lai thought that Gu Jia was dressed in professional attire but secretly yearned for thrills and debauchery.

Today, just now, after learning about Xu Huanshan's situation, Jiang Lai suddenly realized that Gu Jia is a ruthless woman.

You can't judge a book by its cover; this is a perfect description of a woman like this.

She really underestimated Gu Jia.
