Chapter 486: Chapter 256: I Believe You Won’t Lie to Me! _2
She would not allow herself to become a mere concubine for Gao Hengyun.
Within an hour, Gao Wenyuan received a verdict on her life.
Surprisingly, Gao Hongying actually agreed to Gao Hengyun’s request.
She was even instructed to seduce Jianmu in the midst of Lu City’s crisis.
Even if Jianmu was truly a hedonistic son of privilege who thought with his lower desires…
He would not fall prey to her at this moment.
Almost instantly, Gao Wenyuan’s last sense of belonging to the Gao Family vanished from her heart.
Gao Wenyuan believed she had put in enough effort, yet the outcome was this.
If the Gao Family was unwilling to offer her a lifeline, then she could only seek one elsewhere!
During her time as the Gao Family’s Noble Lady, Gao Wenyuan was not idle.
At the very least, Gao Wenyuan had learned some secrets she neither had the capability nor the opportunity to discern before.
If these secrets were to get out, they would certainly have a significant impact on the Gao Family.
But before she could muster enough thoughts of retaliation against the Gao Family, Gao Wenyuan suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
She was privy to far too many secrets. Would the Gao Family really let her leave alive?
Therefore, the impending meeting with Jianmu was the last chance for her to find a way to survive.
The only person who could potentially grant her a lifeline was the very man she was about to seduce – Jianmu.
If she failed to seduce Jianmu, would he be willing to offer her protection if she traded the Gao Family’s secrets?
Gao Wenyuan thought she would be trembling as she prepared herself, but on the contrary, she found herself extraordinarily calm at this moment.
Because there was only this one option left for her survival.
Therefore, she had no choice but to embark on this path.
Gao Wenyuan knew that Gao Hongying was reckless, but he became notably cautious when faced with serious issues.
Despite having made up her mind and embraced calm, Gao Wenyuan still displayed a facade of earnest fear.
Stepping out of the Gao Family mansion’s gate, Gao Wenyuan looked up at the sky.
A huge bird was basking in the sunlight, evaporating the massive steam pillars rising from the distant sea.
The steam pillars rose out of the sea and coiled for tens of thousands of miles. Who knows how many times bigger they were compared to the bird!
But before they could thrash Lu City, they were vaporized into nothingness by the sunlight.
What was initially a natural disaster became a scene of the bright sun hanging high in the clear sky.
Gao Wenyuan suddenly felt that if she could survive this ordeal, she had to tread a bright path.
Ever since Lu Xiaoyin started helping Fang Mu collate and organize the data, she had not left the room.
The duties of a guard and a temporary housekeeper were handed over to Yin Nanzhen.
It was not that Yin Nanzhen was capable, but rather that he was not proficient in data organizing.
No matter how diligent he was, he always seemed to be more of a hindrance than a help.
Yin Nanzhen was surprised that someone came to visit Fang Mu at this time.
Under normal circumstances, wouldn’t all the major forces be focusing their attention and energy on competing for the reward?
Yin Nanzhen didn’t want to report it initially, but upon seeing that the visitor was the Noble Lady of the Lu City Gao Family…
He went to notify Fang Mu about it.
Unlike She Wan, Yin Nanzhen did not know much about the situation in Lu City, and naturally did not know about Gao Wenyuan’s circumstances.
He was worried that if Fang Mu and Gao Wenyuan were friends, his neglect might anger Fang Mu.
For the first time in his life, Yin Nanzhen encountered a beauty as stunning as Gao Wenyuan.
Fang Mu was thinking how nice it would be if someone from the Gao Family or Zhao Family initiated contact with him.
But as it turned out, his wish was granted the moment his head hit the pillow.
Even though Gao Wenyuan had just been designated as the Gao Family’s Noble Lady, and was arguably a core member of the Gao Family…
She would likely provide some clues.
Even if there was nothing to gain from Gao Wenyuan, Fang Mu could still use her to get a chance to meet and talk with the Gao Family Patriarch, Gao Hongying.
Gao Wenyuan stood nervously at the entrance of the Fang Mu Courtyard.
She was afraid that the person who had just announced her arrival would come back out and ask her to leave.
Fortunately, upon coming out, Yin Nanzhen instantly said.
“Miss Gao, our young master agrees to see you. Please, go right in!”
Gao Wenyuan looked back at her two guards. These two, rather than being sent by Gao Hongying to protect her…
Seemed more like they were here to watch over her.
Her visit this time was not for the purpose of seducing Fang Mu, but to seek his protection using the Gao Family’s secrets.
This would assuredly jeopardize the interests of the Gao Family.
The presence of these two guards was rather inconvenient.
On her way here, Gao Wenyuan had neither the power nor the excuse to get rid of these two guards.
But it was different now that she was at Fang Mu’s place.
“You two wait outside. I will see Mr. Jianmu alone!”
Without waiting for the guards to respond, Gao Wenyuan began heading towards the main gate under Yin Nanzhen’s guidance.
The guards considered for a moment but decided not to follow.
Having been given a directive by Gao Wenyuan, to press forward would make them seem intrusive.
It would give the impression that Gao Wenyuan, despite being a proper Noble Lady of the Gao Family, had no control over her guards!
Moreover, the guards knew that Gao Wenyuan was here to seduce Jianmu.
Since she was trying to seduce him, there was no telling what measures she would resort to.
Their presence could potentially interfere with her plans.
Yin Nanzhen escorted Gao Wenyuan to the staircase on the first floor of the main house, and from there, did not proceed any further with her upstairs.
