Chapter 1575 Men also like to hear sweet words

Chu Lingfeng played this role of pretending to be sick for four years.

By the age of 24, he had grown strong enough and officially began to seize power. Over the next five years, he gradually took back everything that originally belonged to his father.

Although his uncles still held shares and threatened his position, Chu Lingfeng had become stronger by now, and it was not easy to oust him.

After listening to this, Su Jiuyao calculated the time. When the young master was 24 years old, she was exactly 17 years old.

It seemed that from that year on, the young master completely cut off contact with her and there was no news from him since then, which made her a little confused.

Since the young master has become powerful, why did he cut off contact with her?

Gu Hanye pursed his lips and said reluctantly, "He probably doesn't want to implicate you in the family struggle, so he hasn't contacted you."

"So the young master was afraid that I would get hurt..."

Gu Hanye squeezed her hand, using a little force.

“Hiss, it hurts!”

"Yaoyao, don't make that expression."

Su Jiuyao shook her hand that was pinched by him and asked, "Which one?"

"The kind that feels sorry for other men."

She was slightly stunned: "Is there?"

"Well, very..."

Gu Hanye looked like a child vying for favor at this moment, which made Su Jiuyao's heart soften. She couldn't help but move over and kiss him on the lips.

"But you are the only one in my heart..."

Gu Hanye narrowed his eyes: "Yaoyao, you have been very good at sweet talk recently."

Su Jiuyao smiled and asked, "Does Mr. Gu like to hear it?"

"Hmm..." Gu Hanye pinched her chin and stroked her lips with his fingers, teasingly: "It's a pity that I'm injured now, and it's inconvenient for me to do anything."

Seeing that the topic was getting off track, Su Jiuyao quickly brought it back.

She sat up straight and said, "It sounds like the young master's identity is nothing shameful. Why didn't he tell me before?"

Gu Hanye paused for two seconds before saying, "Ever since he seized power, rumors of his brutal revenge have spread like wildfire. Furthermore, during this time, he also helped Xiao Chongyang do many things, some of which can be made public, some of which cannot. He probably didn't dare let you know what he did, but he had no choice but to do it."

After Gu Hanye’s explanation, Su Jiuyao understood.

If he was helping Xiao Chongyang, then was assassinating Gu Hanye also Xiao Chongyang's intention?

"Why did the young master want to kill you? Did Xiao Chongyang instruct him, or is there some other grudge between you two?"

As far as she knew, the young master had already been planning an action against Gu Hanye before Gu Hanye met her.

Therefore, the conflict between the young master and Gu Hanye has existed for a long time and has nothing to do with her directly.

"According to Qiao Mang, Chu Lingfeng was actually instigated by Xiao Chongyang. He initially had some misunderstandings about me, but I don't know what they were. Later, he no longer wanted to follow Xiao Chongyang's orders and repeatedly went easy on me, even leading to Xiao Chongyang issuing him an ultimatum."

When Su Jiuyao heard this, she was shocked and angry.

"So, Master was forced to do this. Did Xiao Chongyang really want to kill you?"

Gu Hanye nodded: "Yes, I didn't dare tell you before because I was afraid that you would be scared, and I was also afraid that you would worry about me."

"Since I wanted to kill you, why did I save you this time?" Su Jiuyao asked in confusion.

Gu Hanye shook his head. "To be honest, I don't understand. He tried every possible means to kill me before, but now he's working with me and even saved my life. I don't know what he wants to do to me. I only know that he's targeting me because of some grudge between him and my parents."

Su Jiuyao sighed secretly, so her old fox was implicated in the grudges of the previous generation...

It makes me feel sad.

She gently hugged Gu Hanye and leaned on his uninjured shoulder.

"Since you know Xiao Chongyang has murderous intentions towards you, why do you still want to cooperate with him?"

Gu Hanye revealed a somewhat bitter expression: "Yaoyao, there are some things that cannot be avoided, and there are times when I have no choice."
