After going bankrupt, the school beauty I was dating became my boss.

Did they cripple Sun Wei'an's hands?

Li Xuehua was the first to jump out in opposition: "No, no, An'an can't be without hands! Xiaoxi, you have to help your brother!"

Sun Weian, who had been arrogant just moments before, pleaded with Sun Xiaoxi, "Sister, sister, please save me! I can't live without hands! I don't want to be disabled!"

Hearing Li Xuehua and Sun Weian's cries, the group laughed loudly instead.

Sun Xiaoxi was flustered and couldn't come up with any ideas for the moment, so she could only look to her father for help. However, to her disappointment, her father avoided her gaze and stood silently to the side.

This scene was a huge blow to Sun Xiaoxi.

With no one in the family who could manage things available, what else could she do?

After calming herself down, Sun Xiaoxi began to negotiate: "Brother, my younger brother is young and ignorant, and I apologize to you. However, we really can't come up with this million. How about this, we can offer a smaller amount as compensation, and then give us some more time so we can try our best to raise the money."

"Do you know how badly your brother beat my cousin? We think a million isn't enough!" The leader disagreed with Sun Xiaoxi's proposal and insisted that the Sun family come up with a million: "Let me tell you, not a penny less than a million. And you have to have the money by tomorrow. Otherwise, you'll be sorry!"

"You're extorting me!" Sun Xiaoxi couldn't hold back and snapped at them.

"Extortion?" The man's expression changed. "Your brother was the one who injured someone first, and you still dare to accuse us of extortion! Brothers, arrest Sun Wei'an and cripple him!"

Several people on the sofa stood up in response and were about to grab Sun Weian. Seeing this, Sun Xiaoxi and her father rushed over and, together with Li Xuehua, protected Sun Weian. Sun Weian cried and screamed, hiding behind the three of them and refusing to show his face.

But Sun Xiaoxi and her two companions were no match for several strong men. The three were quickly pulled apart, and Sun Weian was forced to kneel on the ground with his hands pressed onto the coffee table.

Seeing this, Li Xuehua was heartbroken and cried until her voice was hoarse: "You people, do you have no regard for the law? An'an, let An'an go!"

Unable to break free, Sun Xiaoxi could only cry out to the man, "We'll pay you back, we'll pay you back, okay? Just let my brother go!"

"It's too late to agree to pay compensation now!" The leader sneered, glanced at Sun Weian who was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, and said irritably, "If I didn't get serious, you would really think we're easy to bully."

As he spoke, the man picked up a vase, gestured a few times, and then tried to knock Sun Weian's hand down!

At this critical moment, Gu Yannian appeared before everyone like a divine warrior descending from the heavens, stopping everything in time: "Stop!"

The moment Sun Xiaoxi saw Gu Yannian, her body went limp, and she cried out to him, "Brother Gu, please save my brother!"

Gu Yannian glanced at Sun Xiaoxi, walked over and rescued her first, then pushed away the people who were holding Sun Weian, and protected the two siblings behind her.

"who are you?"

Gu Yannian's aura was too strong, and the man was a little unsure, so he asked a question.

"Who I am is not important, what's important is that you have broken the law!"

"Breaked the law? Sun Wei'an injured my brother, and we're here to collect medical expenses. What law did we break?"

"Just collect your medical expenses properly. What's with all this smashing up your house and injuring people?" Gu Yannian said coldly. "From now on, I will handle this matter entirely! I will send my lawyer over. You can make any requests to my lawyer."

"If it's our fault, we will pay every penny we owe. If it's not our fault, then we won't pay a penny more! If you dare to cause trouble again, I will call the police."

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged bewildered glances.

Unlike the Sun family, who cry and scream at the slightest provocation, Gu Yannian is clear-headed and has a powerful aura, making her clearly not someone to be trifled with.

The man thought for a moment, then stood up: "Alright, since you've put it that way, we'll give you face. But if you can't come up with the money in the end, don't blame us for being ruthless."

After saying that, the man left the Sun family with his men.

Seeing that everyone had left, Li Xuehua and Sun's father immediately rushed over, surrounding Sun Weian and asking him about his well-being, not even bothering to ask a single word about Sun Xiaoxi.

Gu Yannian saw everything and felt a pang of pity for Sun Xiaoxi. He had heard Su Yanxi say that the Sun family had a serious problem with favoring sons over daughters, but only now, seeing it with his own eyes, did he realize that this seriousness was absolutely true.

"Xiaoxi, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Sun Xiaoxi shook her head. "Brother Gu, what brings you here?"

“You left in such a hurry, I was worried something might have happened to you, so I came to check on you. I didn’t expect I’d come to the right place.” Gu Yannian gave Sun Xiaoxi a reassuring smile: “Don’t worry, leave this to me. These people are obviously here to extort money, it’s best to let a lawyer handle it.”

"Thank you, Brother Gu."

After calming Sun Weian down and making sure he was alright, Li Xuehua turned her attention to Gu Yannian. She walked over and stood beside Sun Xiaoxi, looking Gu Yannian up and down before asking, "Xiaoxi, who is this?"

"This is my boss, Gu Yannian, President Gu!"

"Hello, Auntie." Gu Yannian greeted Li Xuehua.

"Hello, hello." Li Xuehua nodded with a smile on her face. "You're Xiaoxi's boss, huh? I'm really sorry. We haven't been able to properly entertain you since you came to our house, and now you've run into this mess."

"It's nothing." Gu Yannian didn't really want to talk to Li Xuehua. He had heard Su Yanxi mention Li Xuehua before and had absolutely no liking for her. If it weren't for Sun Xiaoxi's sake, he wouldn't have gotten involved in this matter.

Seeing Gu Yannian's extraordinary demeanor, Li Xuehua's mind started working: "Mr. Gu, right? Look at how messy your house is, it's not right. How about this, I'll have Xiaoxi accompany you out for a walk first, and after we've tidied up the house, you can come and sit down, okay?"

"No need, I'm going back to the hotel."

"Oh dear, since we're already here, why stay in a hotel? A hotel isn't as comfortable as home. Why don't we just stay here?" Li Xuehua realized that Gu Yannian was a golden catch, and she couldn't let him slip away.

"Mom, please say less. How can anyone live in this house!" Sun Xiaoxi understood Li Xuehua's meaning perfectly well. After scolding her, she left with Gu Yannian.
