Cui Zhanyi, who had just recovered, turned pale again, and even Gu Meizhi's lips turned white.

“Grandpa Cui, Grandma Cui, actually, even if you went in with Cui Peng, there’s no need to worry.” Nangong Jue chuckled twice. “After all, you still have a grandson. Who would have thought that a good bamboo shoot could emerge from a bad one? It’s fortunate that Dujuan was decisive and divorced Cui Peng, otherwise, Cui Chuancheng might have been implicated. But now, even if you die, it won’t affect him. That child is doing well in his studies, and his character and values ​​haven’t followed yours. It’s a blessing in disguise…”

What was meant to be comforting words only made the elderly couple feel even worse.

“Since you’re unwilling to cooperate with my wife, then…” Nangong Jue said, pulling Le Yao to her feet, “let’s not waste any more time. After all… our time is precious too. Let’s just go and ask Sui Yuan. Perhaps we can make a deal with her. After all, the Shen family isn’t what it used to be…”

Le Yao nodded, and then walked out with Nangong Jue.

“I agree,” Gu Meizhi suddenly said.

Le Yao turned around: "What?"

“I agree to make a deal with you.” Gu Meizhi stood up shakily and walked to Le Yao. “I will tell you whatever you want to know, but you can’t touch the Cui family.” She and Cui Zhanyi were old, and even if they died, it would be fine, but their son couldn’t be harmed, even though that son wasn’t very good.

There's also her grandson, who's a good boy, and she can't let him be implicated.

“Grandma, I think you’ve got it wrong.” Le Yao smiled. “Right now, you still have the Cui family, so you have no right to negotiate with me.”

"you……"

“Actually, even if you hadn’t told me, I’d already found out pretty much everything. You all wanted Cui Na dead, but you didn’t expect that Cui Na left behind a daughter. Now you all want me dead too, but unfortunately, I just can’t die…” Le Yao shrugged. “Aren’t you angry?”

Nangong Jue couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile.

"Now, if you have anything of value to say, perhaps I'll take pity on Cui Peng and let him go. But if you still have the idea of ​​using that information to make a deal with me, then you should give up now, because I did want to make a deal with you in the first place, but you refused, didn't you?"

“Okay, we’ll talk.” Cui Zhanyi seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and slowly began to speak. “Whatever you want to know, we will tell you everything we know.”

Le Yao pulled Nangong Jue to sit down again: "I want to know everything about Cui Na."

Why!

Gu Meizhi sighed deeply, then looked at Le Yao: "These stories begin more than fifty years ago..."

To be precise, it was fifty-six years ago.

Gu Meizhi's mother and Sui Yuan's mother were sisters. The younger sister had already died, but the remaining child couldn't be lost as well, so she took her to the Gu family and raised her like a daughter.

Because Sui Yuan and Gu Meizhi are only two years apart in age, they usually play together and have a very good relationship.
