Gu Yan recalled the events of the past seven years in bits and pieces, but towards the end, she gradually began to feel sleepy.

He Li stayed with Gu Yan like this, and they both fell asleep together.

As for Fu Xu, he was with his fiancée Lin Moli.

There is no deep affection between Lin Moli and Fu Xu. They can even be said to be strangers. Their acquaintance originated from a blind date, which was not based on love or fate, but more of a helpless choice.

For Lin Moli, Fu Xu was just one of many blind date candidates.

However, what makes him different from other men is that he looks more cold and ruthless, and seems to be indifferent to the world.

This trait made Lin Moli curious, and she also thought that such men were easier to control.

Therefore, she decided to choose Fu Xu as her partner.

In Lin Moli's eyes, Fu Xu is a person without too many emotional fluctuations.

He is not as passionate as other men, nor does he express his emotions easily.

This made Lin Moli feel that he was more like a tool that could help her achieve her goals without having to worry about too many emotional entanglements.

However, Lin Moli didn't know that there were many unknown stories hidden deep in Fu Xu's heart.

His ruthlessness is not innate, but a self-protection mechanism after experiencing countless injuries.

Beneath his seemingly hard shell, he actually has a heart that longs for warmth.

For the Fu family, Mr. Fu hopes that Fu Xu can settle down as soon as possible, so among the many cooperative relationships, the Fu family will choose to let Fu Xu marry a woman of equal status and bring her home.

And this woman can help Fu Xu a lot and provide him with strength for his future.

Lin Moli is such a woman. She is smart and beautiful, and at the same time she knows how to judge the situation. She will not cause trouble to the Fu family because of a little love entanglement.

But this time, Fu Xu used the Fu family's manpower to go to Jinghai and bring back a woman. Fu Xu has never been a person who makes mistakes easily, so when Huo Shucheng found her, she knew it was time for her to take action.

Fortunately, these things are not known to the old man of the Lin family yet, otherwise the Lin family and the Fu family would probably cause more trouble.

However, things turned out to be somewhat beyond Lin Moli's expectations. She didn't expect that He Li from Jinghai would also be involved.

Three years ago, she had been to Jinghai as a representative of the Lin family. She wanted to meet He Li, but ultimately failed to do so.

Unexpectedly, by chance, we met again in Yancheng three years later.

And it is also related to the woman Fu Xu brought back.

Lin Moli's survival experience over the years told her that He Li would never let it go this time.

The reputation of the Fu and Lin families is of vital importance and cannot be damaged because of Fu Xu's momentary impulse.

This time Fu Xu really went too far. He actually offended He Li for a woman. He was the leading boss of Jinghai, although Yancheng was far away from Jinghai.

But if He Li intends to retaliate, the Fu and Lin families will probably suffer a lot.

"Fu Xu, shouldn't you say sorry to me? After all, I am officially your fiancée, but you actually brought a woman back to Yancheng in such a dignified manner. If He Li hadn't chased me, I would have been kept in the dark when we got married."

Lin Moli spoke calmly, as if she was asking the other person why coriander was added to the dish.

After hearing the other party's question, Fu Xu's wandering mind slowly came back to normal.

He looked at Lin Moli quietly, playing with the cup in his hand, and jokingly said: "Isn't your little follower also having a lot of fun with you? Why is it that only the governor is allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps?"

Lin Moli didn't expect Fu Xu to turn the tables.

"You know that's not what I meant!" Her voice was a little sharp, with a hint of unconcealable anger and disappointment.

"I don't care how many women you want, and I have no control over it. It's your freedom, but you shouldn't offend He Li because of this! I don't believe you don't know his methods!"

Her eyes were full of determination and resolve, as if she had made up her mind to fight the other party to the end.

"Then cancel the engagement!"

Fu Xu said in a firm tone: "At this point, I, Fu Xu, am no longer the weak and incompetent me who was at the mercy of others. Now I have enough strength to protect everything I cherish. And what I cherish most is the relationship between Gu Yan and I that we didn't have time to develop. In this world, no one can stop us from being together, not even myself!" His eyes were full of determination and resolve.

Lin Moli turned pale after hearing this. She had never thought that Fu Xu would be so determined to give up this marriage. However, she knew in her heart that every word Fu Xu said was serious, and he had made up his mind to pursue his true happiness.

"Lin Moli, thank you for your cooperation over the past three years. Although our marriage is just a transaction, you did give me some help during this period. However, from today on, our engagement is officially cancelled. But please rest assured, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, as long as it is within my ability, I will still help you. After all, we used to be partners." Fu Xu's voice was filled with a hint of gratitude.

Looking at the man in front of her, Lin Moli knew that there was no turning back. But out of morality, she still had to remind Fu Xu.

"Fu Xu, even though the Fu family is now under your control, don't forget that there are still people who are eyeing you covetously. The engagement between you and me cannot be easily cancelled with just a few words. Do you still want to go back to when you had nothing? Moreover, as far as I know, Miss Gu doesn't love you. How could someone as smart as you be willing to do such an unprofitable deal?"

Fu Xu looked at the woman in front of him expressionlessly, a mocking smile curling his lips. "Engagement? You forced it on me, and I've never acknowledged it. As for those who are eyeing me covetously, I don't care at all." He paused, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "And you, don't think I don't know what you're planning. You're just trying to use me to consolidate your position."

The woman's face changed, and she said angrily, "Fu Xu, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit! You should know that without our family's support, you wouldn't be able to get to where you are today. Besides, that Miss Gu..."

"Enough!" Fu Xu interrupted her, his eyes turned cold, "I don't need anyone's sympathy or charity. I have the ability to protect myself and the people I love. As for Miss Gu, that is my private matter and has nothing to do with you." After that, he turned and left, leaving the woman standing there alone, trembling with anger.

The negotiation ended in failure, and after Fu Xu left, he received a phone call.

Fu Xu's expression relaxed after hearing what was said on the other end of the phone, and then he responded to the other party lightly.

"Just give it to him. Anyway, it's time for this thing to come in handy."

Gu Yan slept for about three hours. When she woke up, it was completely dark. She reached out and touched only a cold quilt.

Just as she was about to get up, the phone rang.

A name popped up on the screen: Jiang Yu.

Gu Yan answered the phone and Jiang Yu's voice came from inside.

"Boss Gu, it's true that He Li is the real controller of Rongyu Group. Boss Jiang was fooled by him, which led to the group's financial losses. It's like He Li is getting something for nothing and is practically trying to swallow the entire group alive!"

Gu Yan on the other end of the phone didn't respond, and the air felt heavy.

Jiang Yu sent all the information he found to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan stared at the information on the screen with a gloomy expression. These materials revealed He Li's conspiracy and methods in detail, making people sigh at his cunning and cruelty.

"I didn't expect that we have been kept in the dark and thought that He Li was just an ordinary investment failure. Now it seems that he has been secretly planning to take over our group." Jiang Yu said gritting his teeth.

"Who else knows about this?"

Jiang Yu didn't expect Gu Yan to ask this question first, but he still replied: "No, apart from you and me, no one else in the group knows about it."

"Alright, you must not let anyone else know about this information, especially Xiaotian. He's at a critical juncture in his studies right now, so you absolutely cannot let him know."

What Gu Yan was most worried about at this moment was Jiang Qitian. She was already very angry when she knew the truth, and if Xiaotian knew it, she didn't know what would happen.

"Okay, I understand, Mr. Gu. No matter what, you must be careful in Jinghai. No matter what, I, the entire Jiang Group, will be your backing."

Jiang Yu knew that it was useless to say more, so he hung up the phone.

Gu Yan sat back on the bed dejectedly. A few hours ago, she had clearly decided to let go of all the past grudges and be with He Li.

However, reality dealt her a ruthless blow.

The sincerity that she once firmly believed in has now become a joke.

It turns out that all this was just a revenge game carefully planned by He Li.

He wove a sweet web of false affection, binding her tightly in it and trapping her in endless pain and despair.

But she was foolishly immersed in this false love and couldn't extricate herself.

Now, she finally understood that the so-called true love was nothing more than her wishful thinking.

In this case, she should re-examine the relationship between herself and He Li.

After calming herself down, she fixed her makeup and left the room.

But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Fu Xu already waiting outside. He Li's men were all easily dealt with by Fu Xu's men.
