Lu Yan could no longer fake her tears. She could only put on an aggrieved expression. “Sister Qian, forgive me for chasing you out of the Gu family for my own selfish interests. I’m sorry!”
Ye Qian did not speak.
And there was not a trace of apology in Lu Yan’s eyes.
Ye Qian said plainly, “Shouldn’t I thank you? Without you, I would not have become the person I am today.”
Lu Yan couldn’t even maintain her expression.
She slowly stood up and bent down to rub her knees. “Sister, are you doing this on purpose? How can you watch me just kneel before you?”
Ye Qian said, “You were the one who willingly knelt. I didn’t have to stop you, did I? Once you knelt, I did feel better.”
Lu Yan sat down opposite Ye Qian. “Then shouldn’t sister also apologize to me?”
Ye Qian raised her eyebrows. “Why should I apologize? I didn’t do anything to offend you.”
Lu Yan gritted her teeth and said, “You have ruined my reputation in public! Sister, have you forgotten it so quickly?”
Ye Qian smiled. “I just exposed the truth that no one knew for a while. How did I ruin Sister’s reputation? If Sister didn’t do such a thing, how could I even expose it?”
“You…” Lu Yan was so angry that she couldn’t speak.
Ye Qian suddenly came to a realization. “Oh, my Sister isn’t here to apologize to me. My Sister is here to denounce me, right? What? Is the Gu family also going to chase my Sister out of the house? That’s not possible, right? My Sister is the Gu family’s biological daughter, unlike me who was an adopted daughter. No matter how well I served the Gu Family, it didn’t matter in the Gu Family’s eyes. But the biological daughter shouldn’t be gauged the same way, right?”
Ye Qian’s every word pierced Lu Yan’s heart.
Lu Yan’s face was deathly pale.
Ye Qian smiled. “What can I do for my Sister? Can I help you with anything?”
Lu Yan took a deep breath. “Of course, you can help. I’m just afraid that you won’t help me.”
Ye Qian nodded. “You’re right. After all, it seems that I don’t have this obligation.”
The veins on Lu Yan’s hand that was holding the corner of the table were already bulging. It was obvious how much anger she was suppressing in her heart. However, she still endured it. After all, she was the one who needed help now.
“Sister and Gu Nian are friends. I would like to ask Sister to be a middleman so that I can get back together with Gu Nian.” Lu Yan’s tone was very calm. It was as if she was saying, ‘today’s weather is very nice.’
I couldn’t help but think to myself, How thick-skinned is this Lu Yan?
Ye Qian didn’t seem surprised at all. “It looks like the Gu family is really ruthless!”
Lu Yan bit her lip and looked at Ye Qian.
Ye Qian looked at Lu Yan. “I’m afraid I can’t do anything. What kind of man would be able to get back together with his fiancée after personally witnessing her cheating on him? Maybe you can ask Master Gu Er and Master Wei Wu to help you? Maybe Gu Nian will give them face.”
Lu Yan blurted out with a sobbing tone, “They are the ones who gave me this mission! They want me to complete my marriage with Gu Nianzhi no matter what method I use. Otherwise, I’ll be in serious trouble!
“As long as I can marry Gu Nian, I don’t care what conditions he has!” Lu Yan gritted her teeth.
“Even if he wants the entire Gu Family as the dowry?” Ye Qian asked casually.
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment and looked straight at Ye Qian.
Ye Qian smiled. “I was just joking, but I really don’t have the position to convince Gu Nian. Since you have the time to pester me, why don’t you just talk to Gu Nian directly? Who knows, if you kneel down to him, he might even soften his heart.”
Lu Yan looked at Ye Qian, who was pretending to be dumb, and said coldly, “So, are you not going to help me?”
