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

Gu Yihuai knew very well that Gu Yan had never had a good attitude towards him as her father, but even so, when he saw her actions just now, he was still dumbfounded.

Gu Yan was standing there with an indifferent expression, and there was a chilling light in his eyes.

"Gu Yan, you..." Gu Yihuai was about to say something but was quickly interrupted by Gu Yan.

"Shh, speak softly, don't wake them up. Also, sorry, I'm not Gu Yan, so I won't be merciful to you." Gu Yan's voice was cold, as if it came from the Netherworld.

At this moment, a hurried sound of footsteps was heard not far away. It turned out that He Li and Jiang Qitian came rushing over after hearing the sound.

"What are you doing!" He Li rushed forward and without hesitation, he tightly protected Gu Yan behind him. However, the person who was actually injured at this time was Gu Yihuai, but He Li seemed to be completely unconcerned.

After listening to what Gu Yan said, Gu Yihuai took a long time to recover. Then, he looked at Gu Yan with a worried look on his face and asked softly, "Are you sick again?"

That’s right, in fact, Gu Yihuai had known about Gu Yan’s condition for a long time, but in his understanding, all this was just an outbreak of the disease.

But when He Li heard Gu Yihuai say this, his face instantly became extremely gloomy, even uglier than Gu Yan beside him.

"Gu Yihuai, if you don't want to die, you'd better shut up! Do you really think you can hide the fact that you betrayed your own daughter?" He Li roared at Gu Yihuai in anger, with rage burning in his eyes.

Seeing that He Li was even angrier than herself, Gu Yan was a little surprised, but she was not Gu Yan, so she didn't need others to avenge her.

"Old thief, my mother is dead, and your death is coming too!"

Gu Yan's voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air. After she said this expressionlessly, she bent down without hesitation, picked up the black umbrella on the ground, and turned away without looking back.

Ever since she decided to return to Qingcheng, Gu Yan had been secretly plotting how to make Gu Yihuai pay the price. She was not the weak and kind-hearted Gu Yan who always returned kindness with kindness. She had always been vindictive towards those who had hurt her and her mother.

At this moment, in the car that was slowly driving away from the cemetery, Gu Yan was sitting quietly in the back seat.

Her beautiful, deep eyes now held a hint of coldness as she stared directly at Jiang Qitian, who was sitting in the passenger seat. Finally, after a moment of silence, Gu Yan broke the silence: "The one who's in charge of the Jiang family now... is it you?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qitian turned his head slightly, exchanged glances with Gu Yan, and nodded slightly in affirmation. Then, he asked with some doubt, "What do you want to do?"

Gu Yan's lips curled up slightly, revealing an unfathomable smile: "I'll give you a big gift."

When these simple words came out of her mouth, they carried an unquestionable momentum.

However, He Li, who was standing by, understood the hidden meaning in her words. As long as she wanted to do it, He Li would do his best to help her.

Gu Yan seemed to have anticipated all this, but she did not reveal any more useful information.

However, just three days later, a huge storm swept through the entire Gu Group.

No one knows for sure who is manipulating all this behind the scenes. All they know is that Gu Yihuai's past unknown dirty deeds are being exposed to the world like a burst dam.

Any one of these things alone is enough to plunge Gu Yihuai into an irretrievable situation.

Faced with such a torrent of negative public opinion and accusations, Gu Yihuai was overwhelmed and frantic, trying to salvage the situation. But at this moment, as if fate was deliberately teasing him, it rained on top of the leaking roof - the stock price of Gu Group began to plummet, plunging into the abyss.

The once prosperous Gu’s stock has now become a hot potato in the hands of all shareholders, and everyone is eager to sell it.

In just half a month, the Gu Group, which once stood shoulder to shoulder with the Jiang Group in Qingcheng and was able to call the shots, faded into obscurity, ceased operations, and completely withdrew from the stage of history.

The Jiang Group took advantage of this opportunity and successfully acquired the Gu Group at a very low cost, incorporating it into its own territory.

At this point, the Jiang Group's position in the Qingcheng business community has become increasingly stable and unshakable.

As for Gu Yihuai, he should have been imprisoned for the economic crimes he committed and suffered severe punishment from the law, but unfortunately, he was suffering from a terminal illness and had not much time left. It was probably difficult for him to escape the clutches of the disease.

The doctor announced the despairing diagnosis with a solemn expression - he had leukemia.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, ruthlessly striking his already fragile heart. Even more cruelly, he no longer had any blood relatives in this world to rely on or confide in.

At this moment, the endless disease was like an invisible net, slowly entangling him, leaving him with nowhere to escape and no way to break free. Every minute and every second, the pain continued to erode his body and soul.

However, at such a tragic moment, two people formed a sharp contrast.

He Li stood quietly aside, looking coldly at Gu Yan who was sitting leisurely on the sofa and enjoying the red wine.

After a while, He Li finally broke the silence and asked calmly, "Are you happy? Seeing him end up like this, do you feel any pleasure in your heart?"

Hearing this, Gu Yan slowly raised his head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely noticeable smile.

But her eyes remained cold, as if there was no emotion at all.

She gently swirled the wine glass in her hand and replied slowly, "It's just so-so. It's a pity that old thief Gu won't be around for long. I had hoped to witness him living out his miserable old age in prison."

After saying that, Gu Yan raised his glass towards He Li and gestured with a smile.

He Li saw this and silently walked over to sit beside Gu Yan. He reached out and gently gathered the strands of hair that had fallen around her ears, saying softly, "So, what can I do to make you truly happy?"

Gu Yan gazed into He Li's deep, earnest eyes, her heart suddenly trembling. She clearly realized that everything the man in front of her said was true from the heart. So, Gu Yan slowly raised the glass of red wine in her hand, which was as bright as a gem, and gently passed it to He Li's slightly opened lips, saying softly, "Drink it."

He Li took the glass without hesitation, tilted his head back, and gulped it down in one gulp. The mellow liquor flowed down his throat, igniting a flame. Just then, Gu Yan, a charming smile on her lips, glided lightly forward. She held out her hands, gently cupping He Li's sharp features as if they were a rare treasure, and slowly leaned in, ready to kiss him passionately.

However, things did not develop as Gu Yan expected. Just when she was about to kiss He Li on the lips, He Li turned his head slightly, so that Gu Yan could only kiss his cheek.

Gu Yan couldn't help but frown, and asked with a hint of anger: "Didn't you say you wanted to make me happy? Why are you avoiding me?"

He Li still had a faint smile on his face, but behind that smile seemed to hide endless sadness and helplessness. He replied softly, "But you don't love me."

Although his tone was calm, it was like a sharp sword that pierced Gu Yan's heart.

Hearing this, Gu Yan was stunned at first, then his eyes widened and he retorted in disbelief: "Who said that! In this world, the only person I love most is you, He Li! Can't you feel my love for you? Don't you want to possess me?"

As he continued to speak, Gu Yan became more and more excited.

Faced with such a strong reaction from Gu Yan, He Li was not moved at all, but instead became more certain of his inner guess.

He silently placed the wine glass in his hand on the coffee table beside him, making a crisp sound.

Then, he opened his arms wide and hugged Gu Yan tightly, as if he wanted to use all his strength to merge her into his body.

"You're just imitating, imitating the way Gu Yan loves me." He Li's voice was low and magnetic, echoing in Gu Yan's ears, "Gu Yan, you've actually been afraid, right? You're afraid that one day when you truly feel happy, you'll suddenly lose everything, just like before, and completely disappear from this world..."

He Li's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Gu Yan's hidden secrets deep within her heart, reaching the depths of her soul. His ability to discern Gu Yan's truest thoughts so keenly was undoubtedly a huge threat to her, and something she absolutely could not tolerate.

"Let go!" Gu Yan's voice instantly returned to its usual cold and solemn tone, as if to freeze the air around them. However, in the face of her furious shout, He Li showed no sign of loosening his grip. Instead, he tightened his grip even more, as if eager to immediately embrace the woman before him, to fuse her heartbeat with his own, forever inseparable.

"No, Gu Yan, it doesn't matter if you don't love me, it's enough for me to love you. You are not a substitute for anyone, nor are you the broken fragment of Gu Yan's soul. You are the complete and unique Gu Yan. You and Gu Yan are both the masters of this body, you are inseparable." He Li said these touching words affectionately, and every word was filled with sincere and warm emotions.

But when these words reached Gu Yan's ears, they were like a heavy hammer hitting her long-closed heart, arousing her even stronger resistance.

"After all, you still want Gu Yan to come back, right? You are all the same, Jiang Hao is like this, Ye Shuang is like this, you all only love Gu Yan, so what? I don't care about your love!"

Gu Yan's eyes widened with anger, and her tone became increasingly fierce. She struggled hard, trying to break free from He Li's grip that was as strong as an iron clamp.

Just as Gu Yan was about to break free from the restraints, He Li reached out with lightning speed and tightly embraced the back of Gu Yan's head. The next second, without hesitation, he gently pressed his lips to Gu Yan's cherry-like lips.

This was Gu Yan's first kiss! In an instant, she felt something cold and soft, like jelly, covering her lips. This wonderful touch made her eyes widen involuntarily, and her mind went blank.

However, He Li's movements were unusually gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting the beloved woman in his arms. He kissed Gu Yan carefully, each touch filled with endless tenderness and pity.

Gradually, he noticed Gu Yan's slight trembling and the nervousness that was hard to conceal. But as time went on, Gu Yan's originally tense and stiff body began to relax slowly.

At this moment, their breaths intertwined with each other, creating an ambiguous and charming atmosphere.

In this passionate embrace, the two hearts seemed to be getting closer and closer. Unconsciously, they were immersed in this sweet vortex of emotions, and the kiss became more and more uncontrollable.

Finally, when this long and passionate kiss came to a temporary end, He Li slightly left Gu Yan's lips, and their foreheads touched. He Li gently stroked Gu Yan's lips and whispered, "Gu Yan, let me love you."
