"besides."

As soon as Qi Nuan said these two words, Lu Yin smiled obviously this time.

A person who has a blank expression most of the time, but every time I face her, there are always a few times when I smile.

She felt a little discouraged.

But once you have shot the bow, if you then pull the arrow back, you may end up hurting yourself.

Qi Nuan clenched his fist around the red gem.

"You knew from the beginning about Qi Meng, the possible relationship between my sister and the Gu family. Perhaps you came to me because of her share of the will."

She lowered her head, ignoring Lu Yin's gaze, and continued, "I'm very grateful that you showed up in time and solved my two biggest difficulties. I'll find a way to raise the money and pay you back double."

"Are you testing me? Do you want to end your one-year contract with me early?"

The man opposite spoke, and Qi Nuan could no longer avoid him.

She believed that she was dragged onto the boat without knowing it, and if she had the chance, she wouldn't mind shamelessly trying to ask to get off the boat.

She looked up and met Lu Yin's pressing gaze, then nodded.

"We are surnamed Qi. We have no interest in the Gu family's inheritance, and we don't want to risk our lives. Since you don't care about Qi Meng's potential share, why not just let us go? I will do my best to compensate you for your losses in other ways."

"Compensation."

Lu Yin repeated the word in a low voice, staring at Qi Nuan with a deep gaze for a long time.

He sat down at the table again, poured some more brown-yellow wine into his glass, which still had a small piece of ice left in it, picked it up and drank it all in one gulp along with the ice.

After chewing for a while, he finally spoke: "I did know about the existence of two wills in advance, and I also knew about the speculation about Qi Meng and the Gu family's relationship earlier."

He took another ice ball from the ice bucket nearby and put it into the cup.

"However, like you, I also trust your mother's character and only regard these things as bait to lure me into a trap. After all, my old fox uncle, although he has a change of heart in his old age and wants to return some of my assets, he still sets many restrictions to prevent me."

Lu Yin poured wine into the glass again, leaned over and clinked it with the glass in front of Qi Nuan, then took it back and took a sip.

"So I don't mind. How much he gives is his business. I will use my own abilities to swallow up the Gu Corporation in an upright manner. It's only a matter of time."

After getting to know Lu Yin again, Qi Nuan began to think that this man with severe mysophobia might actually be a madman with deep scheming and the ability to endure.

Now it seems that he is.

Lu Yin was indeed nice to her during this period and gave her some privileges as a contractor.

His paranoia may have stemmed from the unfair treatment his parents received and his own miserable experiences in the orphanage.

But she felt that it was his own business and it was not worth it for her to involve the rest of the Qi family.

"There are only three of us left in the Qi family. Qi Meng doesn't know anything yet, and Qi Zhangkai is still young. So, I implore the boss to seriously consider letting me off the bus and exclude the Qi family from your fight."

Qi Nuan stood up and greeted Lu Yin sincerely: "Contact me anytime when you have a conclusion. I'll be leaving today."

After saying that, she put on the coat she had taken off when she felt hot, said hello again, and turned to walk out.

She could feel Lu Yin's gaze following her from behind, but he didn't stand up to stop her as she had worried, and he didn't even say a word to try to stop her.

After leaving the house and entering the darkness again, Qi Nuan returned along the path of the manor.

If she just wanted to be Lu Yin's wife, judging from how they got along, she felt that even if he said to add another year, she might be able to accept it.

But the situation is different now. Both sides are forces that the three members of the Qi family cannot contend with.

Both Dad and Brother had asked Qi Nuan to promise that he would persist in living no matter what.

What's more, she now has her sister and nephew to worry about. With Lawyer Zheng's death from overwork as an example, she had no choice but to cancel the contract.

Using the remaining battery of his mobile phone to illuminate the way, Qi Nuan walked back to the parking lot.

She remembered that Special Assistant Zhao did not close the car window and threw the car keys on the seat with confidence.

It's so late at night, it's okay for her to borrow the car first.

After peeking in, Qi Nuan really got the key easily.

Open the door, get in the car, start it, all in one go.

Under the illumination of the headlights, Qi Nuan drove down the mountain along the only mountain road.

After driving about twenty kilometers, we came out of the intersection of the mountain road and saw a two-way asphalt road in front of us.

When Qi Nuan came, she was asked to wear a blindfold, and she fell asleep again, so naturally she had no idea which route to take.

After pulling the car over, she was about to use her cell phone to navigate the route home. At this moment, the cell phone started to buzz several times because it had a signal, and several messages came in.

After unlocking the page and entering the message page, Qi Nuan saw that all the messages were sent by her younger sister Qi Meng.

The first one is a video, the cover is so dark that you can’t tell what the content is.

Looking down, "Sister, where are you?" "Why don't you answer the phone?" "Hurry up and call me!" "Ah! I'm going crazy! What should I do?"

In a series of messages, Qi Nuan could fully feel Qi Meng's anxiety and collapse.

She pressed the number directly and dialed it.

"Sister! You finally got in touch! Look at that video, what should I do?"

As soon as the phone rang, Qi Meng's cries came over.

"Please wait a moment. I'll check the video and get back to you."

Qi Nuan asked her to wait for contact, returned to the message page, and clicked on the video.

The background of the picture was a little dark, but she was familiar with both protagonists. One was Gu Tingze, who had already been buried, and the other was her sister Qi Meng.

The shooting point of the lens is very close, and although it is a bit dark, the image quality is very clear.

Gu Tingze wore an extremely ambiguous and loving smile on his face. He touched Qi Meng's head and face and kissed her forehead from time to time. Qi Meng, who was asleep or drunk, did not make any other movements except occasionally murmuring and waving her hand in the direction of Gu Tingze's touch.

The video was not long, only one minute and sixteen seconds. Apart from Gu Tingze's few perverted and disgusting laughs, there was no other dialogue, and he did not do anything more excessive.

But Qi Nuan felt a chill down her spine just from watching this.

The sofa the two people are sitting on in the picture doesn't look like a home-made one. The video is dim but has some colorful halos, so it's probably a place like a KTV or a bar.

An unconscious girl was hugged, kissed and touched by an old pervert with a bad character.

If this video were uploaded to the Internet, the subsequent scenes could be made up into millions of versions.

Qi Meng's reputation would be completely ruined.
