☆, Chapter 116 Plot Changes

As it was getting close to getting off work, Gu Yan packed up her things and left the company.

The project at hand will be completed in three days, and then she will go abroad.

"Ayan."

As soon as she walked out of the company gate, Gu Yan heard someone calling her. She turned around and found Shi Lanlan standing by the side door, looking a little embarrassed.

"Lanlan." Gu Yan walked over. "Why are you free to come to our company today? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Shi Lanlan looked around. It was not yet time to get off work, and the company entrance was deserted with few people passing by.

The two of them were not worried about people watching them while they were talking.

Shi Lanlan pursed her lips. "I wanted to ask you if I did something to make you angry? You seem to be ignoring me lately..."

"I reply to every message you send me. I don't want to ignore you." Gu Yan said frankly.

She just didn't help Shi Lanlan solve everything like she used to.

But she never ignored Shi Lanlan's complaints and always gave her what she thought were good suggestions.

"But...you weren't like this before."

Shi Lanlan was a little embarrassed and stammered.

"You weren't this cold before. If I did something wrong, I apologize to you, Ah Yan. Please don't be angry with me."

"I'm not angry with you." Gu Yan said sincerely.

In fact, this is true.

She only got the most angry when she just heard Gu Ran's inner thoughts.

The moment she broke up with Zhuang Chen, Gu Yan had completely let go of the matter.

"Actually, I'm not that cold. It's just that I'm not like before, where you raise life problems and I help you solve them."

"So what you want is not my indifference or enthusiasm, but my versatility and practicality in helping you solve your problems as soon as you raise them."

"I know it might be a little hurtful for me to say this bluntly, but I'm sorry, this is the truth, Lanlan."

Gu Yan's smile turned helpless.

Frank words always hurt the heart. Even if they are the facts, they are still very harsh to Shi Lanlan's ears.

Even though Shi Lanlan knew in her heart that it was indeed the case.

If she didn't quite understand before, after these two months of neglect, every time she sent a message, Gu Yan offered comfort and guidance, but never any help.

Shi Lanlan went from being angry at first, to hatred, to now putting aside her dignity and taking the initiative to find Gu Yan. She finally understood her dark thoughts.

She hated Gu Yan for not caring about her, but at the same time she had to put aside her dignity and hope that Gu Yan could help her like before.

She hoped to use their former friendship to wake up Gu Yan, but she had buried all the dissatisfaction deep in her heart well.

Now, these have been discovered by Gu Yan.

And Gu Yan said that she would never help her again.

Shi Lanlan actually thought about asking Zhuang Chen for help, but when she tried to contact Zhuang Chen a few days ago, she was treated with the same indifference.

It seemed that Zhuang Chen had broken up with Gu Yan for some reason, and it was not a pleasant experience, so he took his anger out on her, Gu Yan's friend, and rejected her in a distant and polite manner.

"I'm going abroad in three days. I'll be developing overseas markets in the next few years and will rarely come back. You'll have to rely on yourself from now on, Lanlan," said Gu Yan.

"Are you leaving?" Shi Lanlan looked at her in shock.

"Yes, I'm leaving and won't be back in the short term." Gu Yan said.

After that, it will be out of reach and Gu Yan will really not help her anymore.

Realizing this, Shi Lanlan became completely sober.

She smiled bitterly, "I know, don't worry, I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he turned around and left resolutely.

Gu Yan did not try to keep her, nor did she feel sad about Shi Lanlan's reality.

After all, even the betrayal has been forgiven, so this little bit of reality is nothing to Gu Yan.

When Gu Yan drove back home, she ran into Gu Ran who was about to go out as soon as she entered the door.

"What are you doing? Going on a date?" Gu Yan joked.

"No, Mr. Bai has been very busy these two days and has no time to accompany me. I ordered takeout and it will be delivered soon, so I'll go out and take a look." Gu Ran stopped and answered.

"Why don't you just ask the security office to send it to you? Why do you have to go there and wait in person?" Gu Yan said.

"I don't have anything to do anyway..." Gu Ran scratched his head.

She had already invested all the money she had before, and there were no good investment projects or new funds in the short term.

Once Bai Yifan got busy, Gu Ran seemed to have nothing to do, so he picked up the takeout himself.

"Then go ahead, but don't eat too much. I'm going to treat you tonight, so save some space." Gu Yan instructed.

"What day is it, sister? Why do you suddenly want to treat us?" Gu Ran asked curiously.

"I'm going abroad in a few days to develop foreign markets. I'll only be back once every few months, so I'd like to invite everyone to a farewell dinner." Gu Yan explained.

Gu Ran was a little surprised, "You're going abroad? How long will you be gone?"

"It will take at least three years, depending on the situation. If things don't go well, it will take even longer." Gu Yan touched his chin, "At best, it will take three years..."

[So long?]

[After the fourth brother left, the eldest sister also wanted to leave.]

Gu Ran suddenly felt a little reluctant, "Why don't you just leave the overseas market to others? Why do you have to do it yourself, big sister?"

"You can leave it to someone else, but it will always be more reassuring to do it yourself. Some decisions can also be handled more conveniently and promptly without having to be reported up the chain of command." Gu Yan said with a smile.

In fact, she had another important reason that she didn't mention.

After all, she and Zhuang Chen had been in love for so many years, and their relationship had always been good. Gu Yan couldn't say that she wasn't sad at all after their sudden breakup.

She also needs to adjust her mood.

It is easy to feel sad in a familiar environment and to rekindle old feelings. Gu Yan wants to send herself abroad for further studies for a few years to become stronger and more determined through experience.

"Okay." Gu Ran didn't know much about business, so he had to accept it.

However, the fact that Gu Yan was leaving was still a blow to her.

In the evening, everyone gathered in the VIP building, but Gu Ran was not in a very good mood the whole time.

After dinner, Gu Ran was lost in thought on the way home, and suddenly realized a problem that she had previously overlooked.

It seems that without realizing it, the fate of the Gu family has become different from the original.

In the original plot, Gu Lan was beaten to death by a domestic violence man, and Gu's father stabbed the man in revenge. At that time, Gu's father and Gu's mother were separated because of a misunderstanding caused by the third aunt.

This was the fuse that led to the disintegration of the Gu family.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Xiyan was framed by his teammates, Gu Ximing turned evil, and Gu Yan broke up with her boyfriend.

The Gu family just broke up like that.

After Gu Ran traveled through time and knew that he was getting an experience copy, he has been committed to changing the fate of the people in the Gu family.

She had also prepared a series of efforts, including but not limited to her own investments and reminders before various plots.

But it seems that none of them were used.
