After answering the phone, Gu Nianqiang deliberately used a lazy voice to say, "Oh, I'm sorry, I was asleep and didn't hear you. What's up?"

Jiang Yilai knew, of course, that the other party was deliberately ignoring her, but she didn't dwell on the issue and instead got straight to the point.

"I'm coming to find you now, it'll take about half an hour. I found a coffee shop across from your apartment complex on my navigation app, you can go there and wait for me."

This commanding tone made Gu Nianqiang very unhappy. "Why should I listen to you?"

"What do you think? You can choose not to go, then I'll have to find other ways to meet you."

Jiang Yilai's calm yet serious tone made Gu Nianqiang uneasy.

This woman has now become a well-known lawyer, backed by two powerful families, and is not to be underestimated.

Despite feeling extremely unwilling, I reluctantly agreed.

"I understand, I'll go and wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Nianqiang cursed a few times into her phone, then picked out her prettiest clothes from the wardrobe to wear as her armor.

She absolutely cannot lose face in front of Jiang Yilai.

She had a solid argument regarding Gu Qihang's matter, and Jiang Yilai couldn't do anything about it.

When Gu Nianqiang arrived at the coffee shop, Jiang Yilai also arrived just in time. Enemies meeting are bound to be furious.

Compared to Jiang Yilai's smart suit, Gu Nianqiang's outfit seemed a bit deliberate.

After all, who drinks coffee while wearing exquisite makeup and a high-end custom-made gown?

Gu Nianqiang, who had been full of confidence just moments before, suddenly became insecure because of the other party's calm demeanor.

Jiang Yilai didn't care about any of that and said directly, "I'm also very busy, let's get straight to the point."

Gu Nianqiang followed behind her and said, "If you want to plead for him, then forget it. He has been ungrateful to me, and I will not consider our past relationship."

Jiang Yilai chuckled and said, "I haven't forgotten how united you two siblings used to be. It's quite a pity that you've turned against each other and become enemies like this in the blink of an eye."

"He's the one who caused this situation. If he were just willing to return the money to me, would I be bothering him like this?"

"Then ask yourself again, is that money really something he should return to you? According to him, the profits from your two previous investments all went to you."

When this was mentioned, Gu Nianqiang was speechless, then argued, "He didn't want it back then, but when I gave it to him, I said it was a loan. Since he borrowed it, he should return it."

Jiang Yilai pointed out: "But you didn't have an IOU!"

Gu Nianqiang became anxious and said angrily, "What kind of IOU could there be in this situation? It's all just verbal agreement."

Seeing that she was getting more and more anxious, Jiang Yilai felt even more confident.

"Since it was just something said offhand, there's no proof."

Even so, does that mean he doesn't have to pay it back?

"Can I understand it this way: you siblings had a very good relationship back then, and these amounts were only a small sum for you at the time, so you didn't really have the concept of borrowing and repaying?"

If she hadn't been kicked out of the Gu family, she would certainly have agreed with Jiang Yilai.

But things are different now. I've become penniless, so I'll take whatever I can get and naturally I'll hold on to this.

"No matter what, it's a loan. I was just stupid back then and didn't make him write an IOU."

"It is indeed a bit silly, otherwise, I wouldn't have forgotten for so long in a year."

Jiang Yilai's subtle remarks made her blush.
