From not far off, a pair of eyes were jeering at her figure.
It’s freeze as she walked forward.
A “clack clack” sound of high heels echoed in the frigid street, piercingly noticeable in the silence. She turned around subconsciously to catch sight of a tall, seductive figure sneaking forward cautiously. She glanced back from time to time, appearing paranoid of being followed.
“Gu Miaoting?” Her keen eyes instantly recognized the person behind this figure.
What was Gu Miaoting doing here dressed provocatively and sneaking around in the snow? The thought provoked Gu Chuyan to cautiously follow her.
Perhaps it was her desperation to capture Gu Miaoting’s wrongdoing, or maybe it was her desire for revenge—she was obsessed with following her.
Gazing ahead, she saw Gu Miaoting turn a corner and vanish.
Gu Chuyan stood still as the snow covered her footprints. Just as she turned to leave, a figure approached her from behind, clamped a hand over her mouth, and began to drag her forward.
“Mmm!” She struggled incessantly, gripping the perpetrator’s wrist with her slender hand.
A sharp scent of perfume invaded her nostrils, making her gasp for air. Her nails dug into his wrist, wounding it as the man yelped in pain before shoving her aside.
“Ah.” She fell, hitting her knees hard on the ground and collapsing from the pain.
As she was about to get up, she heard the murmur of discussion.
“As long as you have S City’s best interests in mind, not just three million but rather thirty million I can afford.”
S city? She was especially sensitive to these words.
Gu Chuyan went closer, through the dim light she saw two men sitting in a pavilion in the courtyard, talking while enjoying their wine.
“Rest assured, I will handle the Xie Family’s matters. They will have no chance to intervene.”
“Mr. Gu, I am of course at ease with your work.”
“I heard your only daughter is yet to be married. My son, despite his disability, is mentally competent. If Mr. Gu is interested, we could align our families with a marriage.”
“Well…” Hearing this, Gu Yan’s hand, holding his wine glass, tightened.
He had never thought about using Gu Chuyan as a tool for marriage alliance, moreover with someone disabled! Being a Gu, he naturally wished for an ideal match.
Although Gu Chuyan can be rebellious, she was his daughter after all. Marrying into a wealthy family or striking a marital alliance could work, but he heard that not only was the son disabled, he was a ‘medicine jar’. He was constantly on medication which implied he won’t survive for long.
“What, Mr. Gu looks down on my son?”
Now, it’s difficult for Gu Yan to step out gracefully; no matter if he agreed or not, his position in this circle would be difficult to secure.
“I am honored by your suggestion, I will certainly ask her. But my daughter is strong-willed, and independent. I fear she might refuse.”
“Ha ha. Mr. Gu, you’re joking! My son loves a fiery woman. Let’s toast to that!” The other man chortled heartily.
Although Gu Yan was displeased, he didn’t dare to contradict, so he had to accept it tacitly.
Gu Chuyan stood there, gazing blankly into that direction, unexpected that Gu Yan had been playing this card behind her back. They won’t have a say in the matter? Moreover, he wishes to marry her off to form an alliance?
Last week, Gu Yan was unwilling to cut ties with her. Could it be that he wanted to use her to accomplish his own goals? She laughed sarcastically at the idea.
Unwilling to accept this, Gu Chuyan turned her head to catch a glimpse of who the man was. Unfortunately, he was sitting in front of a pillar; his physique hidden and unclear.
“Snap.” As she began to retreat to leave, she heard the sound of a breaking branch.
Subsequently, the broken branch was thrown towards her.
“No!” Gu Chuyan stepped back and dashed off. She had to leave this place seeing Gu Miaoting’s figure earlier which certainly was a ploy to lure her here..
