Chapter 762: It Was All Because Of You Throwing Money 2
“The Black Rose has obviously set her eyes on me now. Why isn’t she that persistent towards Master?” Shen Qianshu thought of another very serious question again. The Black Rose seemed to be less forceful on Ye Ling.
What was the reason again?
“She said that Ye Ling wouldn’t live long.”
Shen Qianshu felt suffocated in her heart. She also thought of a matter.
Master was sick.
If he could not recover and had to be tortured by his illness frequently, Master indeed would not live long.
As she thought about this, Shen Qianshu felt as if her heart was being torn.
“Little Shu, don’t ask further about the Black Rose’s matters. She will not want your life,” Gu Yuanli said. “That day, if not for the fact that she didn’t have a choice, she wouldn’t use you as a shield and also wouldn’t reveal this trump card. You are already the best candidate for the Black Rose. She will not touch you.”
“But she has been lingering around me. Are we really unable to make a swift decision in this complex situation?”
“Cannot,” Gu Yuanli said. “I have been thinking of a way for so many years. Eventually, I can only get a glimpse of the corner. No one knows exactly where the Black Rose is, and no one knows exactly how scary it is.”
Shen Qianshu became silent.
Gu Yuanli was a little bitter as he looked at her face, which was like a painting. His eyes were filled even more with self-restraint as he looked at Shen Qianshu. Since when did his feelings for Shen Qianshu start to change in nature? He himself did not know.
It had changed in nature unknowingly.
He did not treat her as his sister again.
Perhaps after all these years, Shen Qianshu had been bringing her child around alone. She had worked very hard and transformed from someone with nothing to someone who shone very brightly. This process had attracted him. She was a person with an extremely attractive personality.
Or perhaps, he had been looking at her from afar for all these years. As he was unable to place his feelings anywhere all along, he could only place them safely on her.
However, in his lifetime, he would not be able to reveal this kind of obscure feeling.
His troubles were increasing.
“Why did you give me the Blood Rose back then?”
“To protect you,” Gu Yuanli said. “I got the Blood Rose coincidentally. Since I knew that the gatekeeper of the Black Rose was required to have the Blood Rose, I had been looking for it. It was not easy for me to find it. I could not hand it over to her. Either I kept it a secret, or I hand it to you. I already knew that she had guessed your identity. If I gave you the rose, it could let you have an additional exemption plate against death. Everything was a strange mix of events. I did not purposely use the Blood Rose to provoke Ye Ling.”
Shen Qianshu was silent. Both of them looked at each other. He saw her suspicion.
Gu Yuanli said, “Little Shu, I did not hide anything.”
“Second Brother, there are too many things that you have hidden. Your trustworthiness is also going to be gone soon,” Shen Qianshu said in a practical and realistic manner. “I believe you, but bystanders may not necessarily believe you. There are also many secrets hidden in Ghost City.”
Luckily, this was a family.
Even if there were internal disputes, they would not appear like the chaos in the Black Rose.
“Little Shu, I... ” Gu Yuanli’s voice was low. “Believe me. My original intention was never to hurt you.”
“Second Brother, you rather supported me to become Master Qian and was unwilling to have direct contact with me. This was to avoid suspicion?”
“Yes!”
Gu Yuanli said, “You are Ghost City’s little princess and should not have any financial difficulties. There were many competitions in the casino who were bribed. Of course, you yourself have the capabilities. It is just that regardless of how the process is like, you will win in the end. When you came to the casino, I would watch every competition of yours. I would also let others try their best to lose to you. I don’t want you to be troubled over money.”
