I remained silent for a moment before saying somewhat helplessly, "Okay."
"I do owe you a favor for this."
"But I'm short on time, so I won't go for a meal. Let's find a place to have a cup of coffee instead."
"You really are heartless," Gu Nianci said, seemingly complaining.
I neither agreed nor disagreed.
It wasn't me who was heartless.
Or rather, there's no such thing as being heartless; there were never any feelings between us to begin with, it was just that I was only indulging in wishful thinking in the past.
Before long, we arrived at a nearby coffee shop. To my surprise, as soon as we sat down, Gu Nianci got straight to the point: "Xu Ruo, I'm in a terrible situation right now."
"What does this have to do with me?" I said dismissively. "You don't actually think I can help you, do you?"
Gu Nianci didn't answer me. After thinking for a while, she seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Actually, I've been thinking about a question these past few days."
"If I had discovered your abilities sooner, would I have avoided ending up like this?"
"Xu Yan is more complicated than I imagined. He is too patient. It wasn't until yesterday that I realized that it wasn't me using him, but him using me."
“He used what you had as leverage to gain the trust of the Gu family. After I took possession of what you had in the Xu family, he also gained control of most of the Gu family’s businesses.”
“Now, I’m in a very passive position. If I can’t take back the Gu family’s assets, I might not even be able to keep what you gave me.”
At this point, Gu Nianci looked at me and said, "Xu Ruo, I know you hate me now, but those were your hard work after all. Are you really willing to accept that?"
"I'm willing!" I said with a smile. "So, all these days you've been trying to persuade me to reconsider, is that what you're talking about?"
I looked at Gu Nianci and said with some disappointment, "Gu Nianci, if you suddenly felt guilty towards me, I might still think that you are a person with flesh and blood and feelings."
“If you tell me this now, I might feel some sympathy for you.”
"They might even do what you think, and try to create some trouble for Xu Yan."
"But now, all I can say to you is sorry."
I stood up immediately.
Gu Nianci grabbed me.
"Xu Yan is already preparing to take revenge on you, do you know that?"
"He's getting revenge on me?" I paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, let him come."
"Aren't you afraid?" Gu Nianci seemed surprised by my calmness and emphasized, "Xu Yan said that he will make you repay the humiliation you suffered because of him."
“Once the Xu and Gu families’ issues are resolved, he will definitely cause you trouble.”
"If you don't cooperate with me, what will you use to fight him?"
"Your cooperation with me is the best choice now!"
"Not interested," I said, shaking my head.
What am I least afraid of right now?
This is, of course, what is called revenge.
I'm going to die in two days.
Xu Yan can't possibly come back to dig up my grave, can he?
Besides, I'm not in the mood to waste time with them right now. Every minute and second of the remaining time is precious to me because this is my last time in this world.
Of course, if the opportunity really comes, I certainly won't be a pushover.
But this opportunity was destined to never come.
so……
Let him be.
However, Gu Nianci still seemed unwilling to give up, and she said again, "As long as you agree, I will agree to anything you want!"
That same phrase again!
I sighed and looked at her, saying, "Gu Nianci, do you know what you look like right now?"
"You look really ugly like this."
Why can someone value personal gain so much?
“Ugly?” Gu Nianci’s voice suddenly rose a few decibels. “Xu Ruo, how could you say that!”
"You don't understand me at all!"
"You have no idea what I've been through or what I've faced!"
