I realized something, and looking at Xu Yan, I said coldly, "After you went abroad, you still kept in touch with Gu Nianci. You were preparing for this day from the very beginning, weren't you?"
Xu Yan was silent for a moment, then nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, and no."
“Originally, we thought we would find some evidence that made my parents disappointed in you, in exchange for my family’s acceptance of me again, so that Nianci and I would still have a chance to be together.”
"But I never expected that you... were the fake one all along!"
At this point, Xu Yan couldn't help but laugh. "Do you know how desperate I was when I was forced to go abroad, receiving only a meager amount of compensation from my family, looking like a pathetic clown?"
"I thought back then that one day I would come back, stand in front of all of you, and make you look up to me."
"And you..."
Xu Yan suddenly stared at me.
Then he said, word by word, "I will humiliate you to your face as much as possible."
"Sleep with Nianci, make love."
"Have a child with her."
"And then I'll tell you, Xu Ruo... even if you get what originally belonged to me, you're still trash in my eyes!"
"Your woman, your wife."
"Using it is as easy as putting on clothes for me!"
“You…” I suddenly stood up from the chair.
Even if I no longer love Gu Nianci at this moment, as a man, every word Xu Yan says is crossing my bottom line.
"Are you in a hurry?" Xu Yan looked at me nonchalantly.
I looked at him and finally couldn't hold back, throwing a punch at him. However, he didn't explode as I expected, then break off our relationship and fight me.
He simply let my fist land on his face, then gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and still maintained that confident look as if he had everything under control.
This feels like hitting cotton.
Even though I really wanted to throw a second punch, I ultimately held back.
"What exactly do you want?" I stared at him, and I could feel my body trembling.
I wasn't like this before. As Song Qingrong said, I used to be confident and full of vigor, but when I heard Gu Nianci's name, I couldn't control myself.
Xu Yan pointed to the documents on the table, "It's simple, I need all of that."
"I want them all!"
"Give me back exactly what you gave to the Xu family."
"If you can't do it..."
"You know what I'll do!"
"Are you threatening me?" I narrowed my eyes slightly.
Xu Yan shrugged. "You can think of it that way."
"Oh, right."
"That punch you just threw was very well..."
Xu Yan left.
He walked away arrogantly.
He acted as if he didn't care about my answer, or as if he was sure I would agree, and left after saying that.
Only after his figure completely disappeared from my sight did I lean back in my chair, panting heavily.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Maybe an hour, or longer.
I then picked up that document.
Xu Yan did threaten me, but if I were so easily threatened, then... I wouldn't be Xu Ruo.
My emotions are out of control, but that doesn't mean I can let others manipulate me!
