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

"If you really care about the lives of those two people, you would never do it! Gu Yan, Gu Yan, you are really not like my child, Gu Yihuai! It's okay that you are so naive, but you are also so cowardly and incompetent!" Gu Yihuai's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Gu Yan's heart directly. It can be said that they hit the nail on the head and were merciless.

Hearing her father's comments, Gu Yan's face turned pale as paper in an instant, but she still suppressed the pain and anger in her heart, and replied coldly: "That's really my blessing! To have such a 'good' father like you!" Before she finished speaking, she turned around without hesitation, stretched out her hand to open the door, and then strode away without looking back.

This room was a nightmare for Gu Yan. From the moment she entered, she felt an indescribable sense of oppression and disgust, as if the entire space was filled with a nauseating odor. And now, she could finally escape this place that made her feel so uncomfortable.

However, fate always seemed to play tricks on people. Just as Gu Yan stepped out of the door, she was perfectly separated from He Li, who had come to rescue her. Meanwhile, Ah Da and Ah San had been taken a full kilometer away from the Gu family's old house. Gu Yan was terrified, her pace quickening, her only wish being to get away from this terrifying place as quickly as possible.

After nearly an hour of arduous trekking, Gu Yan finally made it out of this luxurious, upscale villa complex. Her legs felt weak and she was breathless from the long walk, but she didn't dare stop for even a second. She finally pulled out her phone and was about to call a car to leave quickly when a strong feeling of nausea suddenly surged up her throat, as if it was about to swallow her whole...

It was an indescribable feeling, as if the whole world was spinning, her stomach churning like a raging sea. Gu Yan felt the world spinning, and everything in front of her became blurry. She covered her mouth in pain, a strong feeling of nausea washing over her, followed by a violent vomiting attack. Bitter bile continued to pour out of her throat, as if it was threatening to throw up all her internal organs.

Gu Yan was completely exhausted, her legs feeling heavy as if they were filled with lead. Uncontrollably, she slowly crouched down, finally hugging her knees tightly, trying to find some support and comfort.

At this moment, a familiar voice reached Gu Yan's ears: "I'm sorry." She raised her heavy head with great effort, and her vision gradually became clear. When she saw that it was Jiang Yu, her eyes did not show the slightest surprise. Because she had expected his appearance.

However, Gu Yan was absolutely unwilling to appear so haggard at this moment. She gritted her teeth and used all her remaining strength to try to stand up, but her shaky body still made people sweat for her. Seeing this, Jiang Yu hurriedly reached out to support her, but as soon as his hand touched Gu Yan's arm, she quickly avoided it.

"What? You still want to defend yourself?" Gu Yan's tone was cold and resolute, mixed with deep disappointment and anger.

Jiang Yu looked at Gu Yan, his heart full of guilt and worry. He whispered, "Let's not talk about this for now. You look really weak. Let's get in the car first." His eyes were sincere and his concern was not a disguise.

Although she still harbored resentment towards Jiang Yu, Gu Yan also understood that leaving this place as soon as possible was the wisest option. So, she quietly opened the car door and got into the passenger seat. The car was completely silent throughout the journey, with only the evening breeze whistling through the window caressing Gu Yan's face. The cool breeze brought some relief to her already extremely uncomfortable body.

Jiang Yu looked at Gu Yan, who was sitting beside him, with a gentle gaze. He gently stepped on the accelerator and drove slowly towards a brightly lit seafood porridge late-night snack shop. Although the shop was not big, it was filled with an enticing aroma.

After the car stopped, Jiang Yu turned around and said softly, "Eat something first. It's not good to be hungry. We can talk slowly after we finish eating. Just give me a chance to explain it properly, okay? Even a prisoner sentenced to death must have a chance to plead his case." After all, they had worked together for three years. Although Gu Yan was furious when the incident first happened, she gradually calmed down as time went by, and she thought that she should really listen to how Jiang Yu explained.

Jiang Yu walked into the restaurant and thoughtfully ordered a bowl of Gu Yan's favorite seafood porridge, along with a few light and delicious side dishes. Soon, the steaming hot meal was served. Gu Yan didn't hesitate, picking up the spoon and digging into it.

Seeing that Gu Yan was eating happily, Jiang Yu took a deep breath and said, "I don't know if you know a man named Fu Xu. If it weren't for the suggestion he made this time, I would never make a decision that goes against you. However, the final decision was made by me, and I cannot shirk this responsibility." In fact, as early as when Gu Yihuai told Gu Yan that He Li was being held back in Jinghai by Fu Xu, she had already vaguely formed such a guess deep in her heart.

Hearing Jiang Yu mention Fu Xu, Gu Yan raised her head, with a little rice grain on the corner of her mouth, and responded calmly: "I know him. He is a notorious ruthless and cunning man. You have no chance of winning against him." After that, she lowered her head and continued to enjoy the delicious seafood porridge.

Gu Yan was so impressed by Fu Xu's ruthlessness that she would not be surprised at all no matter what Fu Xu did.

Just as Jiang Yu was about to continue telling something, an unexpected scene happened: an uninvited figure suddenly appeared beside Gu Yan and sat down steadily.

"Haha, I didn't expect that in your mind, my image is so tall and mighty. Gu Yan, I feel honored to receive such an evaluation from you!" The person who came was none other than the protagonist they were talking about just now - Fu Xu.

Hearing Fu Xu's words, Gu Yan tilted her head slightly, looked at him calmly, and responded lightly: "Aren't you busy in Jinghai trying to contain He Li? How come you have the time to come to Qingcheng now?" She said this in a relaxed and casual tone, as if she was just asking the other party why he didn't enjoy dinner on time.

Fu Xu, on the other hand, was staring intently at the calm and composed woman before him. Seeing that Gu Yan had finally returned to her usual calm tone when talking to him, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable joy in his heart.

At this moment, Gu Yan stood expressionless, not even the slightest intention of responding to Fu Xu's almost unreasonable request. She didn't even raise her eyelids, as if the person before her was nothing but air, and drank the steaming bowl of porridge in front of her in one gulp. With the last mouthful of porridge, she burped contentedly, then slowly raised her head and turned her gaze to Jiang Yu beside her.

"As long as Gu Yihuai can obediently hand over 5% of Jiang's shares, I will not pursue the matter of your previous dismissal. Also, you have to send more people to protect Xiaotian. For some reason, I always have a bad feeling in my heart that Gu Yihuai may do something bad to Xiaotian." Gu Yan's tone was calm, but the worry contained in it was obvious.

Hearing this, Jiang Yu's face instantly broke into an ecstatic smile, and he nodded hurriedly in response: "Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away. Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your magnanimity. As long as you, as long as Mr. Gu is willing to trust me again, I will definitely not let you down!"

However, at this moment, Fu Xu, who had been left aside by the two, could no longer suppress his dissatisfaction and jealousy. Without saying a word, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Gu Yan's wrist, trying to pull her out without saying anything. The sudden action made Gu Yan scream in surprise: "What are you doing!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yu's face suddenly changed. He immediately stepped forward, wanting to stop Fu Xu's impolite behavior. But to his surprise, Gu Yan gently waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to intervene.

"It's alright, you pay the bill. I have something to discuss with him." Gu Yan uttered these words with a lightness that seemed to carry an undeniable power. Jiang Yu could only remain where he was, like a docile sheep, not daring to resist. He knew clearly, and had always known, that in Gu Yan's eyes, he was just an ordinary colleague. Beyond that, there was no other special relationship.

After Fu Xu and Gu Yan walked out of the door together, Gu Yan suddenly seemed to have changed. She suddenly shook off Fu Xu's hand that was tightly holding her, and then walked forward quickly on her own without looking back. Seeing this, Fu Xu hurriedly caught up with her and said with concern: "Don't walk so fast. You just had a full meal. If you walk so fast, you will be careful of gastroptosis." However, Gu Yan ignored his concern and just snorted coldly, and said bluntly: "Huh! That's really not comparable to you, the high and mighty CEO. After all, a minor problem like stomach problems is just a common occurrence for big bosses like you who are busy with all kinds of affairs and busy with social events all day long. It's nothing."

Hearing Gu Yan's sarcastic words, Fu Xu couldn't help but be slightly startled, but he quickly regained his composure and continued to ask tentatively, "You seem to be in a good mood. Could it be that... you have completely thought it through and decided to break up with him?" It must be said that this person really can't read people's expressions. He always picks on things that others are most reluctant to mention. Sure enough, Gu Yan's face instantly turned gloomy. She stopped, turned around and glared at Fu Xu, angrily demanding, "What does this have to do with you? I just want to know why you helped Gu Yihuai? And why are you going to such lengths to deal with the Jiang Group? Explain it to me clearly!"
