Chapter 564: Chapter 281: Blood Brewing Grapevine!_2
Every time Gao Hongying came back, he would find Gao Wenyuan, ostensibly enthusiastic, but in actuality, merely putting pressure on Gao Wenyuan.
Gao Wenyuan was now completely under stress.
Gao Wenyuan was terrified that after solving the issue in Lu City, Fang Mu might abandon her without responding to her request to see him.
On the surface, Gao Wenyuan appeared confident, but internally she felt as jittery as a frightened bird.
“Wen Yuan, it’s been so long and yet Mr. Jianmu hasn’t seen you. Did you say or do something wrong to upset Mr. Jianmu?” asked Gao Hongying.
Hearing Gao Hongying’s words, Gao Wenyuan cursed him in her heart.
It was bad enough that Gao Hongying was forcing her to contact Jianmu, now he even blamed her for this?
When Gao Hongying initially sold the Guardian Beasts to Lord Jianmu at a high price, didn’t he concern himself that Lord Jianmu might be upset?
Gao Hongying’s actions led Gao Wenyuan to feeling taken advantage of, as if she were a tool.
This reaffirmed Gao Wenyuan’s belief of how Gao Hongying would treat her once she could no longer serve as a bridge between Jianmu and the Gao Family.
“Uncle, what could I have possibly done to upset Lord Jianmu? It’s you who have been holding me back!”
“After this, if you arrange things to hinder me, I won’t be doing anything for the Gao Family!”
“I will contact Lord Jianmu myself, there’s no need for you to worry, uncle!”
For the first time, Gao Hongying got a taste of Gao Wenyuan’s strong words.
Now that the person he personally groomed had grown strong, she dared to respond to him disrespectfully!
Gao Hongying’s mind snapped and he angrily grabbed Gao Wenyuan’s slender neck.
“You should remember how you got here, Gao Wenyuan. I chose you as the Gao Family’s Noble Lady, but I didn’t allow you to talk to me this way!”
“Just as I have lifted you up, I can also bring you down.”
Gao Wenyuan stared directly into Gao Hongying’s eyes, not retreating at all.
“I know you wouldn’t dare to kill me, because if Lord Jianmu discovers I’m dead when he wants to meet me, he would be angry at the Gao Family.”
“At this point, I am more useful to the Gao Family than anyone else!”
“Don’t forget that I was personally picked up and brought back by Lord Jianmu’s chariot driver!”
Though Gao Wenyuan did not show any retreat on her face, she was extremely anxious internally and emphasized her relationship with Fang Mu.
She wanted to use this relationship to warn Gao Hongying.
Gao Wenyuan had experienced the sensation of being controlled before.
But it had never been so direct.
Gao Wenyuan didn’t initially want to fall out with Gao Hongying, but clearly couldn’t converse with him as equals without doing so.
Moreover, she couldn’t safeguard her own interests in front of Gao Hongying.
The connection to Jianmu is her reliance and bargaining chip. If her reliance doesn’t disappear, she still has enough strength in front of Gao Hongying.
Sure enough, after hearing Gao Wenyuan’s words, Gao Hongying loosened his grip on her, and said coldly.
“Since you say you are more useful than anyone else in the Gao Family, I want you to contact Jianmu today!”
“From now on, for every transaction you carry out between the Gao Family and Jianmu, I will give you a portion of the funds as a reward.”
Gao Wenyuan’s heart sank at these words.
She also wanted to see Jianmu, but her numerous expressed desires to see him had not been responded to.
If she couldn’t meet with Jianmu today, Gao Hongying would definitely doubt her status beside Jianmu.
Just as Gao Wenyuan didn’t know what to do, an elderly voice came from the door.
“Master, someone from Mr. Jianmu’s side has come with a message, asking for Miss Wenyan to come over.”
“What should we…”
The moment she heard this, Gao Wenyuan’s face brightened into a smile, like a proud peacock.
She stared defiantly at Gao Hongying.
Since they had torn the face, Gao Wenyuan no longer had so many restraints in her actions.
“Uncle, since Mr. Jianmu is calling me, I will go now!”
“I won’t stay for dinner with you tonight!”
She didn’t wait for Gao Hongying to speak and, lifting her head, quickly left Gao Hongying’s study while breathing a sigh of relief.
Lord Jianmu had not given up on her after all!
…
Accompanied all the way by Yin Nanzhen to Fang Mu’s private mansion in Si Ning Mansion, Gao Wenyuan saw Fang Mu leafing through a book.
All the decorations in the courtyard had been removed, indicating that Fang Mu was about to leave Lu City.
This made Gao Wenyuan panic.
“Lord…Lord Jianmu, are you going to leave Lu City?”
Gao Wenyuan felt that once Jianmu left Lu City, she would lose her protector.
Fang Mu closed his book and looked at Gao Wenyuan, nodding.
“That’s right, I plan to leave Lu City tomorrow, that’s why I called you over today.”
“The Gao Family doesn’t know that the Soul Whale Princess is connected to me, do they?”
Gao Wenyuan’s face showed obvious panic when she heard this, but she first responded to Fang Mu’s question.
“Lord Jianmu, the Gao Family is not informed about many things, they are still focused on how to establish a co-operation with you!”
“Gao Hongying has urged me more than once to contact you!”
“Gao Hongying is keen to obtain some Grandmaster Creator’s resources from you to enhance the overall power of the Gao Family and secure their position.”
