I originally thought that Xu Yan, after I beat him up, would immediately start fighting me again after getting up from the ground, but he didn't.

I don't know if he was cowardly or just patient. After getting up from the ground, he just gave me a cold look and then handed the initiative over to Gu Nianci, who was also looking at me coldly.

"Xu Ruo, is this your attitude?"

After waiting for a while, Gu Nianci finally spoke. However, her seemingly accusatory words did not reveal any anger to me. Apart from her usual coldness, it was as if she did not care how badly Xu Yan hurt her.

The previous screams...

It seems it's all just for show.

However, I didn't call him out on it. I just shrugged and said, "Is there a problem?"

“You investigated me, followed me, and then threatened me. If I don’t do something, I’m afraid you’ll think I’m too easy to bully.”

“These are just some standard methods,” Gu Nianci said dismissively. “If you’re interested, you can do it too.”

"You think I'm like you? You'd do anything for profit?" I sneered.

"Are you really different from me?" Gu Nianci looked at me, a smile appearing on her face. Her words seemed to be directed at me, but also at Xu Ruo: You are all the same.

This time I didn't answer her. I knew what she meant by that attitude, but I wasn't there to waste time talking nonsense. Without hesitation, I said, "Since this matter has already escalated to this point..."

"Tell me, how do you want to resolve this?"

Xu Yan spoke up at this moment: "We've already made everything clear on the phone. As long as you unconditionally hand over everything my parents gave you to Nianci, this matter will be over."

"otherwise……"

"Shut up, okay?" I glanced at Xu Yan. I really didn't want to say another word to him. If it weren't for Yan Yin, I wouldn't have come at all.

Talking to Gu Nianci made me think she was quite smart.

"you……"

“He’s right.” Gu Nianci interrupted Xu Yan, clearly not wanting the two of us to continue arguing. At the same time, Gu Nianci took out an agreement.

"You just need to sign it, and everything will be over."

"When the time comes, you walk your narrow bridge, and I'll walk my broad road."

"I will also have a normal divorce with you, and there will be no further involvement."

"This is my final bottom line."

"You know... I originally wanted more than just this!"

“Okay!” I glanced at the agreement. The contents were as I expected. It was just what they had said on the phone before I came: to hand over all my businesses to Gu Nianci.

I'm just a little puzzled.

Is Xu Yan truly brainless, or does he have other ideas?

By doing this, they were essentially handing the entire Xu family over to Gu Nianci, meaning the Xu family would now be surnamed Gu.

However, I couldn't be bothered with all of that. After witnessing the Xu family's ruthlessness and the humiliation of them betraying me after using me, the last bit of affection I had for the Xu family had been extinguished.

Moreover, Xu Yan is their precious son, and as an outsider, even if I were to say something, I would probably only get one answer: Xu Ruo, what right do you, an outsider, have to interfere in our family affairs?

I no longer have the obligation or the inclination to confront these issues.

Gu Nianci seemed surprised that I agreed so readily. She looked at me with some astonishment, and I didn't know if it was a pang of conscience or something else. Just as I was about to sign, she suddenly said, "Xu Ruo, you can actually make some demands."

"For example, how much money is needed?"

"Or something else."

"Are you pitying me?" I signed the document readily, then looked at her and smiled, "Or do you think that humiliating me like this gives you some pleasure?"

"If that's the case, I think you might be disappointed."

"To be honest, if it were before, I might have hesitated. After all, although the Xu family doesn't like me now, I've still been here for a few years."

"Now..."

"What's it to me!"

After I finished speaking, I didn't look at Gu Nianci anymore, but walked towards Xu Yan. Xu Yan seemed not to have expected me to go after him again, and subconsciously took a step back.

I gave him a disdainful look.
