I laughed, "What does it have to do with me if you have a grudge against Master Su? We have nothing to do with each other anymore."

"We are not divorced yet."

"That's you being shameless." I suppressed my anger and cursed, but after looking him over, I couldn't help but say more. "Speaking of your grudge with Su Shenglin, I didn't understand before and even shared your hatred. But now I think... it's just you making a scene for yourself and trying to make yourself look good."

Gu Yanqing asked, displeased, "What do you mean?"

"Your conflict with him is simply because you feel he stole a few projects from you. But why don't you consider whether you're not capable enough to secure those projects? Business is all about ability. You can't blame others for being too strong just because you're not good enough."

I've wanted to say this to him for a long time, and I finally found the opportunity today.

Sure enough, Gu Yanqing became furious after hearing this, and his face turned even uglier: "Jiang Wan, you're so close to him that you're speaking up for him, and you still say there's nothing between you two?"

"Fine, whatever you say we have, then we'll have it. You can do the first thing, but I can't do the fifteenth?" I went along with his words, deliberately trying to provoke him.

Gu Yanqing was so angry that he was speechless, staring at me with wide eyes and breathing heavily.

After a long pause, he said with hatred, "No wonder you won't change your mind. No matter how much I apologize and try to make amends, you're unmoved... So you've climbed up the social ladder. I didn't believe Jiang Yi when she said that before—Jiang Wan, you've disappointed me so much. I never thought you were so vain!"

Haha, it's true what they say, if you want to find fault, you can always find a reason.

I laughed in anger, and retorted defiantly, "Gu Yanqing, you're a bastard who betrayed love and marriage, has warped values, and repays kindness with enmity. What right do you have to belittle me like this? Anyone in the world can mock and humiliate me, but you're the only one who can't! Don't forget, I saved your life, but how did you treat me?"

My righteous and stern questioning was so impactful that it finally made him reflect on his actions.

After a moment of silence, his momentum weakened considerably. "I didn't say I wouldn't repay you, but Jiang Yi has a terminal illness. There are priorities. What's wrong with waiting a year or two? She's your own sister. Isn't what I'm doing helping you accumulate good karma?"

Help me accumulate good karma?

Is he sure he's not being sarcastic?

I opened my mouth, but couldn't say anything more. I could only point to the door and shout, "Get out! Get out of my sight right now! And don't cancel your appointment at the Civil Affairs Bureau this afternoon! Get out—"

I spoke the last word in a booming voice, startling my colleagues working outside, who all turned to look at my office.

Gu Yanqing was terrified when he witnessed my aura when I roared for the first time.

A suffocating silence spread through my office. I glared at him, wishing I could tear him apart!

After a long silence, Gu Yanqing swallowed and then spoke again, his attitude suddenly changing. "Xiao Wan... I'm sorry, I went too far just now. I was just jealous... Seeing other men being nice to you made me uncomfortable, which is why I lost my temper and said those things."

Disgusting, so disgusting!

How could someone with such an elegant and handsome face be so shameless and filthy?

I didn't want to hear a single word, nor did I believe it. "Gu Yanqing, didn't you understand that I told you to get out? Do I have to call security?"

I pressed the internal phone button, but he rushed up and slammed it down.

"Xiao Wan, calm down, I have something to discuss with you."

I didn't say anything.

He seized the opportunity and quickly asked, "What about that mutton-fat jade bracelet? Are you wearing it?"

I turned my gaze to him and stared intently.

He continued, "Jiang Yi's condition is very bad. The doctor said her condition is deteriorating faster than expected. She's now... obsessed with that bracelet. I was thinking... could you lend me the jade bracelet for a few days to cheer her up? If you agree, I can give you 50 million right away as rent, and you don't have to pay it back. That way, your aunt's problem will be solved too."

I stared at him as if he were a monster.

"Gu Yanqing, so you came all this way just to ask me for the jade bracelet?" I was shocked and surprised, my voice even changed tone.
