Report to the president, the lady doesn't want you anymore

The answer given by Gu Yihuai was exactly what Gu Yan had expected, but the details in it were completely beyond her imagination.

She had long guessed that Gu Yihuai must have something that needed her help to deal with, but she never expected it to be such a difficult situation.

She had never had a good impression of Gu An, always thinking he was mischievous and annoying. But now, upon hearing that he was seriously ill, she couldn't utter the harsh words that came to her lips.

For a moment, Gu Yan felt that fate was playing tricks on her and that God seemed to be against her. Even such a simple wish as wanting to live a peaceful life alone was difficult to achieve.

"So, you deliberately tricked me back? You even just wanted to tell me, and you never considered my feelings at all, right?"

Gu Yan's eyes were wide open as she stared at Gu Yihuai in front of her, anger burning in her heart.

Gu Yihuai remained silent, his head lowered as he smoked. The man who once dominated the business world and was full of vigor and ambition had now become so haggard because of his son, the traces of time ruthlessly carved into his face.

The scarlet cigarette butt flickered faintly in the dark night, appearing extremely abrupt and lonely, as if it was a reflection of his inner pain and helplessness.

"I have no choice! I know you harbor resentment towards me, and you loathe Gu An even more. You even see the entire Gu family as an enemy. But right now, I really can't find any other way out except you. To avoid complications, I have to take the initiative."

Gu Yihuai slowly raised his head, his eyes were empty and his voice was hoarse as if it had been polished by sandpaper.

What a good strategy of striking first to gain the upper hand!

Gu Yan's face was solemn, and he said seriously, "You actually think that you can force me to rescue that kid with just this kind of means? Mr. Gu, have you forgotten all the evil deeds you inflicted on me and my mother in the past? You don't only have Gu An as your son, Gu Ci is also your flesh and blood! Yet, in all these years, have you ever thought of him for even a brief moment?"

You know, Gu Ci is like a taboo in the entire Gu family.

Even someone like Gu Yihuai, who appears tough on the outside but is actually timid on the inside, has to admit with all his heart that Gu Ci is the child he is most proud of in his life.

It’s a pity that fate is fickle and life is unpredictable. Gu Ci eventually died in the unusually cold winter of that year.

"You have no right to mention his name at all! Have you completely forgotten who caused his death? Even if it's just for Gu Ci, you have the responsibility to save Gu An!"

Whenever that past event was mentioned, Gu Yihuai became so emotional that he could hardly control himself, as if it was a scar that would never heal.

This incident also caused Ye Zhen to become mentally ill and turned him into a half-crazy person who was sometimes lucid and sometimes crazy.

At this moment, Gu Yan looked at Gu Yihuai who was so excited in front of her, and a strange feeling surged in her heart.

She really couldn't understand why the other party behaved so inappropriately. After all, she had no memory of what happened that year.

After letting out his frustration, Gu Yihuai suddenly felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over his head, instantly sobering up. He realized he'd been overly excited, and that losing control of his emotions wasn't what a mature person should do. So, he took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his racing heart and adjust his mindset.

After calming down a bit, Gu Yihuai said to Gu Yan in an unquestionable tone, "Those things in the past are all in the past. There's no point in talking about them again. Now you have two options. One is that you willingly cooperate with the examination and then find a way to save your brother. The other is that I will forcibly take you to the hospital. No room for negotiation! Think it over carefully."

Gu Yan knew very well that at this moment she was like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others and without any ability to fight back.

Faced with such a strong Gu Yihuai, she knew that resistance was futile.

After a moment's silence, Gu Yan gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you, but before that, you must release the person first. Also, what happened to Qi Tian?"

Hearing Gu Yan's response, Gu Yihuai nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Then he replied, "As long as you obediently go to the hospital, I will naturally do as you say. As for Jiang Qitian, he is fine, nothing is wrong. If you don't believe me, you can go to the school to see him in person."

In fact, Gu Yan knew in her heart that now that things had come to this, there was really no need for Gu Yihuai to deceive herself anymore.

After all, all he wanted to achieve was to get himself checked out.

Thinking of this, Gu Yan nodded helplessly, secretly praying in his heart that everything could be resolved smoothly.

"Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, I will show up in front of the hospital gate in Qingcheng exactly."

After saying this, Gu Yan turned around and left without hesitation. However, just as she took a few steps, she heard Gu Yihuai's deep voice behind her: "Don't try to contact He Li for help. He is currently trapped in Jinghai, struggling to cope with the trap that Fu Xu has carefully laid for him."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yan's body paused slightly, but soon returned to normal. He walked away without stopping.

It turns out that Fu Xu was involved in this matter!

Gu Yan thought to herself, and without looking back, she quickly took out her cell phone and called Teacher Jiang Qitian.

When the first rays of dawn just appeared in the sky of Qingcheng and the morning light was just breaking, the clock hand quietly pointed to seven o'clock in the morning.

Gu Yan saw Jiang Qitian playing and laughing with his classmates in the playground from afar through the iron fence outside the campus.

Seeing this scene, her heart finally settled down a little - fortunately, this storm did not seem to affect this innocent child.

At this moment, the teacher standing quietly beside Gu Yan had a look of deep guilt on his face.

He lowered his head and muttered, "I'm so sorry. Your father threatened me that if I didn't follow his instructions, my family would suffer misfortune. So... I'm really sorry."

Gu Yan shook her head slightly and said softly, "I should be the one to apologize. No matter what, I still ask you to continue to take good care of Xiaotian, and at the same time, please do not let him know that I came to visit today."

After saying that, Gu Yan took a deep look at the familiar figure, then turned around and left silently.

Gu Yan didn't notice at all. Just when she turned around and resolutely left that place, Jiang Qitian suddenly turned around as if with telepathy, and his eyes looked straight at the direction where she had just stood.

Jiang Qitian didn't know if it was because he had been studying too hard recently, but he actually felt like he was hallucinating. For a moment, he clearly felt Gu Yan's figure standing there quietly.

As she had to rush to the hospital at 10 o'clock sharp, Gu Yan didn't even have time to take care of breakfast. The second thing she urgently needed to deal with was to find Jiang Yu.

So she dialed Jiang Yu's phone number again, but the receiver always received a cold voice prompt: No one answered.

It was obvious that she had been blacklisted by Jiang Yu.

Fortunately, although she had been away from this place for half a year, she did not encounter too many obstacles when she wanted to re-enter the Jiang Group.

Just like that, when Jiang Yu walked into his office as usual at 8:30 in the morning, he saw Gu Yan sitting safely in his seat.

In an instant, Jiang Yu's face revealed an expression of astonishment and joy that was difficult to conceal.

"Mr. Gu, you...why did you come back so suddenly?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Yu's mind in an instant, and the first thing that came to his mind was: Could it be that the things I had done before finally took effect and produced results?

"Who gave you the right to spread the news? Jiang Yu, do you think the Jiang family is yours now?"

Gu Yan stared at Jiang Yu in front of him with wide eyes, anger burning in her heart.

She has always been straightforward and hates those roundabout schemes and calculations the most.

At this moment, facing Jiang Yu's betrayal, she felt extremely angry, because deep in her heart, she always regarded Jiang Yu as one of the few people she could trust in the Jiang Group.

However, what she never expected was that such a person whom she trusted so deeply would stab her in the back at the critical moment.

This kind of harm from one's own people is far more painful than an attack from the enemy.

Hearing Gu Yan's words full of questioning and anger, Jiang Yu's face turned pale in an instant.

He knew very well that what he had done had been exposed, and Gu Yan would obviously not let him go easily.

He couldn't help but tense up, clenching his hands into fists, as if trying to hide his inner uneasiness.

After a moment, he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, then said seriously, "Mr. Gu, please calm down. I don't think I'm at fault in this matter. The Jiang Group shouldn't have been burdened with such a heavy debt. To be more precise, it shouldn't have been your responsibility. Besides, He Li is treacherous and cunning. You're sitting on pins and needles by his side. If he dares to come to Qingcheng and cause trouble for you, the entire Jiang Group will definitely not let him go."

Gu Yan looked at Jiang Yu. At that moment, she felt that she didn't recognize the person in front of her.

"Who taught you, Jiang Yu, that Gu Yihuai is behind you?"

Gu Yan didn't dare to say that she knew Jiang Yu's character 100%, but he wouldn't dare to do this alone.
