BXBX NOVEL Chapter 354 - 354: This Is Nothing! Is That All You’ve Got, Scum?
Wen Yanqing walked leisurely towards Gu Zhichuan. He smiled. “Mr. Gu, you’ve graced us with your presence so late at night. What can I do for you?”
“You did it, didn’t you?” Gu Zhichuan asked directly.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Wen Yanqing quirked a brow.
“My family’s company–You are the culprit, aren’t you?” Gu Zhichuan said bluntly.
“Do you have any proof? Shengfaang and the Gu family aren’t affiliated in any way. Why would I dip my hands in your family’s business? Or are you here to admit that you’ve done something… unpleasant and hope to settle things amicably?” Wen Yanqing chuckled.
Gu Zhichuan pulled a long face. “Gantang’s injuries were Gu Shuyue’s fault. She will be sent overseas tomorrow to repent. She will be hung out to dry without any support from the family. Isn’t that enough? Can’t we call it even?”
“You’re right,” Wen Yan said lightly. “I am very angry that Tangtang was injured.”
“There’s no need for Mr. Wen to create a big fuss. My Gu family will deliver Shuyue to your doorstep; you may do whatever you want with her,” Gu Zhichuan said.
“Do as you wish,” Wen Yanqing replied. “Do you think I would hurt Gu Shuyue? What do you mean by sending her to my door to be taught a lesson? I was not born yesterday! If I were to do anything, wouldn’t the lot of you sue me for abusing a helpless woman? I’m not stupid.”
Gu Zhichuan pursed his lips, his expression chilling. “Shuyue is spoilt. You have my word that she shan’t bother you or Gantang again.”
“Is that all?” Wen Yanqing eyed the other man calmly. “Hah! So much for me, thinking you understood anything. Gu Shuyue is only the tip of the iceberg. Don’t you understand?”
Gu Zhichuan knew exactly what Wen Yanqing was hinting at. It was because he had shown affection towards Lin Gantang, making Wen Yanqing jealous.
Gu Zhichuan’s expression changed. “Wen Yanqing, back when I was with Lin Gantang, you still harbored designs on Lin Gantang. Did I say or do anything, then?”
Wen Yanqing’s expression dropped when Gu Zhichuan brought up the past. “Mr. Gu,” he began, “I hope you’ll understand something from this conversation. I liked Lin Gantang back then, but I never overstepped my bounds. I didn’t interfere with your relationship with her, not even once. Can you say the same? You know we’re in a relationship, but you still shower her with gifts, intrude in our lives, and find excuses to see her.”
“So you say that you never said or did anything while we were in a relationship?” Gi Zhichuan challenged. “What a joke! If you really cared for Tangtang, you wouldn’t have ignored her. You would have wished to be cut off from her completely!” Gu Zhichuan hissed through clenched teeth.
“You know what? I do care. The Gu Corporation is important to you, so why don’t you try and use that pretty head of yours a little more?” Wen Yanqing warned. “The Gu Corporation is worthless in my eyes, but that doesn’t mean I won’t do anything if I don’t get what I want. I’m sure you know what I desire.” “What if I don’t agree?” Gu Zhichuan’s face turned cold.
“Let’s see you try.”
“I have money. I can still turn the tide if I invest all of it.” Gu Zhichuan’s attitude was cold and unbending.
“In that case, go ahead. Do what you want. Why bother looking for me? Don’t you think Tangtang is better now? More beautiful, perhaps? I think her personality is her defining feature!” Wen Yanqing sneered.
“Lin Gantang is wasted on you,” Wen Yanqing mocked. “She’s like a pearl covered in dust. All it takes is a guiding hand for her talent to shine. Now that you see her brilliance, do you hope to win her back? In your dreams!”
“So what if you’ve finally seen her real face? She’s not going to leave me for you. Does that make you feel uncomfortable? Do you feel like a knife is stabbed into your heart when she is with me?” Wen Yanqing crowed gleefully.
“I suffered for eight years. Eight. Years.. What you’re feeling now is nothing!”
