Inside the car.
The moment Wen Yi was dragged into the car, she thought she was going to die.
Upon seeing the familiar interior and the people around him, Wen Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. His body, which had been tense in the dangerous place, suddenly relaxed because of the familiar surroundings.
“I made my last call for help to you,” Wen Yi said, staring at the other person. “But you didn’t answer.”
The tone was cold, but Wen Yi was blaming someone.
The other person turned around, his face habitually covered by a mask to conceal the scars on his face, and his eyes were overly indifferent.
Wen Yi said, "I have fulfilled my responsibilities as the second wife of the Imperial Garden and have been loyal to my duties. Then I would like to ask the second master of the Imperial Garden, have you fulfilled your responsibilities as a good husband?"
"Are you blaming me?" Gu Huaixu asked back, finding Wen Yi's words very interesting.
Wen nodded. "It's a blame. We're business partners, but also husband and wife. If you weren't there when something happened to me, then it's your responsibility."
"so what?"
“You owe me one,” Wen Yi said. “If I ever need your help in the future, you have to do it because of this.”
The moment those words were spoken, Gu Huaixu burst out laughing.
So in the end, it all came down to just this one sentence.
So many fallacies.
He had never realized before that the quiet and reserved Miss Wen possessed such twisted logic and cunning.
Gu Huaixu leaned back in his chair, not responding directly to Wen Yi's words, but turning his head to the side, his deep, dark eyes carrying a meaningful look.
It's not a laugh, but a forced smile.
Wen Yi didn't know what he was thinking; she only knew that she had to achieve her goal. "I believe Second Master Gu won't go back on his word."
At the Imperial Garden, Onichi was at a disadvantage.
Moreover, since the decision is to make the Wen family pay the price for the deaths of his maternal grandparents and Gu Huaixu, Wen Yi needs to have some leverage.
The Royal Garden was her best bargaining chip, but to negotiate with this devil, she had to be a fox.
A cunning fox that makes no sense.
Wen Yi continued, "Moreover, if Second Master Gu doesn't agree to make a promise to me this time, it will be difficult for me to agree to play the role of Second Madam if Second Master Gu cooperates with me or asks me to do things in the future."
"Do you know how the Second Madam of the Imperial Garden got into trouble?" Gu Huaixu asked in a low voice.
Despite being quite lazy, he still exudes a strong sense of threat.
Wen Yi was a little scared, but on the surface she remained calm and showed no sign of panic.
She said, "Those people have nothing to do with me. All I know is that we are a cooperative husband and wife. I will not only play the role of the second wife of Yutingyuan well, but I also hope that Second Master Gu will be a good husband, making promises and doing what he should do. Only then can I do what I promised Second Master Gu."
"You're threatening me, you know that?"
Gu Huaixu reached out to touch Wen Yi's face. Wen Yi instinctively tried to dodge, but Gu Huaixu moved quickly and grabbed Wen Yi's chin.
He was forced to raise Wen Yi's chin. Although Wen Yi had a downward gaze, the man leaned back lazily in his seat, and in terms of aura, he was in no way inferior.
“I’m not threatening anyone; I’m negotiating with Second Master Gu,” Wen Yi reminded him.
"So do you think your negotiation will succeed?" Gu Huaixu asked, increasing the pressure slightly.
Wen Yi felt a sharp pain in her jaw and also sensed the threat from the man beside her, but she endured it all.
She said confidently, "I think I will succeed in this negotiation with Master Gu."
She is very confident.
After all, failure means death, so naturally we must succeed!
