Chapter 309 Here, Lu Jingxiao's Manor
Lu Jingxiao casually walked downstairs and looked down at Iman: "Miss Iman, if you want to stage a love-hate drama here, then please leave."
He sat on the sofa, his superior demeanor perfectly controlled, showing no fear of Iman's anger.
On the contrary, Iman seemed a little intimidated by Lu Jingxiao. She subconsciously asked, feeling guilty, "You... Lu Jingxiao, what are you doing here?"
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
Gu Yulin couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Miss Iman, do you want to see where you are? This is Lu Jingxiao's manor."
Iman was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.
"He's not here. Where else could he be? He could scare you to death if he went somewhere else, believe it or not."
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
Is what the boss is saying really not a smear campaign?
Iman, though not entirely convinced of his innocence, retorted, "Who told him to come out and scare me for no reason?"
She then turned her gaze to Chris, her imperious manner irritating: "Chris, you blew up my family's military factory. Don't deny it. My dad doesn't intend to do anything to you. You just need to marry me as promised, and the losses can be made up for later."
Iman thought to herself that she had already been more than kind and considerate; if it were anyone else, they probably would have broken up with him long ago.
She didn't ask for much; she just wanted him to marry her.
Is such a request excessive?
She felt it was not excessive at all.
If Chris were a smart man, he would know what to choose.
However, Chris didn't take her seriously at all; Iman held no place in his eyes.
"No need, just have your dad investigate."
Iman couldn't believe her answer. Did Chris really not hesitate at all? Did he have no feelings for her at all?
She's liked Chris for so many years, why won't she even give him a second glance?
"Chris, are you serious? My dad is only making this one request out of respect for me. If you... don't comply, do you think Young Master Chris will be replaced?"
Iman's words were full of threats; she didn't believe Chris would remain unmoved.
Do you think I care?
puff--
Gu Yulin laughed out loud without any regard for his image as a CEO. He sneered, "Miss Iman, at least come up with some conditions that can threaten Chris. If he really cared about the young master's status, he would have already registered his marriage with you. Why would he be here listening to your nonsense?"
“You…” Iman was furious and sneered, “President Gu, this seems to have nothing to do with you. What gives you the right to criticize me?”
"I was merely expressing my opinion. Does Miss Iman have a problem with that?"
The destruction of those two military factories naturally weakened the Iman family's power, but even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse, and they can still intimidate others. However, the current opponent is the Gu family of China. In addition to their seemingly global industrial footprint, they are also secretly working for China, and their strength is comparable to that of the Lu family.
There was no one she could afford to offend.
Chris suddenly stood up and stood in front of Iman, speaking expressionlessly: "Don't waste your time on me. You should know why I blew up your military factory, so don't try to bargain with me here."
He sighed sadly and sneered, "I'll say a few more words today. You should be glad you didn't hurt Yuxin, otherwise it wouldn't just be a matter of two military factories."
For the first time, Iman felt oppressed and afraid. Before, she only thought Chris was very authoritative, but she was never afraid. But now... she felt afraid. She knew that Chris was not joking.
"You're so heartless. I didn't hurt Bai Yuxin, did I? She wasn't hurt at all. On the contrary, I was almost killed by Lu Jingxiao."
Her eyes were full of grievance, and she wanted to evoke Chris's sympathy, but she forgot that people from her family were heartless and could never sympathize.
"So what?" Chris retorted confidently, "If you hadn't provoked my Yuxin, my brother wouldn't have dealt with you."
Iman: "......"
A question mark slowly appeared in Lu Jingxiao's mind.
Gu Yulin and Gu Beixiao were both stunned on the spot, not to mention the impact that "brother" had on Bai Yuxin.
Lu Jingxiao retorted with a dark face, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll throw you out!"
Chris shrugged fearlessly, his whole demeanor nonchalant: "You're Yuxin's brother, so you're my brother too."
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
To be honest, I was disgusted.
How could this person be so wicked?
Seeing their harmonious scene only intensified Iman's hatred.
It's all Bai Yuxin's fault. If it weren't for her, Chris wouldn't have treated him like this.
I will definitely not let you get away with this!
Chris didn't even glance at Iman: "You can leave now. If you don't, I'll have someone ask you to leave."
Iman, filled with shame and anger, retorted, "Chris, you'll regret this!"
**
Back in China, Gu Youran's father and brother's problems had been resolved. However, she didn't expect that her mother in prison would start causing trouble again.
She had only just begun her military service when she encountered numerous problems in prison.
To be honest, Gu Youran didn't plan to go see her, but the prison guard kept calling and calling, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she decided to go see her.
In the visiting room, after seeing her biological mother, Gu Youran asked expressionlessly, "What exactly are you trying to do? What kind of trouble are you causing in there?"
Gu's mother didn't like this daughter either, so she didn't give her a friendly look. She coldly accused, "Gu Youran, you've really grown up, haven't you? You actually dared to harm your father and your brother. Don't forget, they're your own father!"
It turns out that all her antics in prison, constantly yelling that she was going to die, were just to get me to come over.
Then he would launch into a tirade of sarcastic remarks at her.
Gu Jianguo and Gu Bin did get a good beating from Li Huaijin, and they deserved it.
He introduced her to all sorts of oddities and flaws.
Gu Youran suddenly found it ridiculous. She clearly didn't care anymore, but she still insisted on acting like a fool.
See, you got a severe scolding.
She only mentioned Gu Jianguo and Gu Bin; there was no one else in her vocabulary.
And you are an outsider to him/her.
Gu Youran found it truly ironic: "Mom, while you're criticizing me, have you even looked into what they've done to me? Your unwavering bias is only pushing me further away."
Gu's mother's attitude was also very clear. Her eyes were like those of someone looking at a stranger. This was not her daughter at all; she was clearly an enemy.
"Didn't you sever ties with us a long time ago? It's not appropriate to talk about this now." Gu's mother steered the conversation back to the main point: "You still haven't explained why you treated your brother and your father that way?"
"Don't forget, no matter how good the people outside are, they can't be as good as your own brother and father. You can ignore me, but you can't ignore your brother and your father."
With things already said to this extent, there was nothing Gu Youran didn't understand. Even if she didn't understand, her next sentence made Gu Youran understand completely.
"What's the use of a girl like you managing such a big company? You'll eventually get married. You can't bring your company with you when you marry into your husband's family. Just transfer all your shares to your dad and brother and let them pay you a salary every month. What does a girl need a company for?"
Gu Youran was so angry she almost laughed. She thought the woman was really about to die, but it turned out she was just furious because she hadn't gotten the company from her.
