☆, Chapter 106 The Third Party
Nan Xianxian wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Bai Yutang as soon as she opened her mouth.
"You don't have to pay me, but don't expect me to care about you. This is the maximum I can tolerate. If you want more, go ask Bai Lao Er for it."
After saying that, Bai Yutang took off his suit jacket which was wrinkled by Nan Xianxian, threw it on the ground, turned around and left without looking back.
"Yutang, Yutang..."
Nan Xianxian tried to persuade Bai Yutang to stay several times and even extended her hand, but in the end she did not dare to force him to stay.
It was not until Bai Yutang returned to his car and drove out from the other exit in a black commercial vehicle that Nan Xianxian seemed to wake up from a dream, staring blankly at the check for one million in her hand.
None of the Gu family members made a sound or moved.
There was silence for a long time, about ten minutes later, before Nan Xianxian slowly got up from the ground.
She did not tear up the check as casually as in the TV dramas, but put it away carefully and then slowly left the underground garage step by step.
Looking at her somewhat desolate back, Gu Ran couldn't feel any sympathy at all.
If the plot had developed normally, when Gu Ximing's family was destroyed and he was finally killed tragically by Bai Yutang's gun, Nan Xianxian would not have felt any regret or even any guilt for killing someone.
Gu Ran doesn't need to be too compassionate and sympathize with such a person.
She turned her head to look at Gu Ximing, who was in a daze beside her, and felt a little worried.
[Third brother, you won't sympathize with this woman, right?]
[When Third Brother was in such a miserable state, this woman showed no sympathy at all. This woman is very evil.]
[Third brother, please don’t suddenly go to this person’s rescue, or the plot will go...]
"Let's go." Gu Ximing shook the car keys in his hand and called Gu Ran.
Gu Ran was interrupted halfway through his imagination and nodded quickly.
Then she heard Gu Ximing say, "It's a blessing that she didn't give birth to this child."
"Ah... yes!" Gu Ran quickly agreed, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
[Fortunately, Third Brother is not a saint.]
Speaking of which, there really isn't any saint in their Gu family who makes people vomit blood.
The plight of the Gu family in the original novel was largely due to coincidences and bad luck.
As long as they avoid these coincidences and bad luck, they can all be very clear-headed heroes and heroines.
very good!
Gu Ran felt relieved and was about to get in the car with Gu Ximing.
In front of the other door, Gu Yan received a call.
"Hello."
I don’t know what the other party said, but Gu Yan, who had originally answered the phone politely, suddenly changed his expression and his steady voice became a little sharp.
"What did you say? How could this happen? She's not like that. This is impossible."
The other party said a few more words, and Gu Yan's face was still unhappy, but he obviously didn't want to listen anymore, so he interrupted the other party.
"I see. Tell them to wait for me there. I'll be there soon."
All of this was seen by the Gu family.
After Gu Yan hung up the phone, Gu's mother asked worriedly.
"What's wrong, Xiaoyan? Is there an emergency at the company?"
"No." Gu Yan shook her head and forced a smile, "It's my personal matter, it has nothing to do with the company."
Mother Gu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Gu Yan sighed and smiled bitterly, "Didn't Lanlan find a new job? She was doing pretty well, but today, for some reason, a customer falsely accused her of stealing. The manager even called me, so I have to go check it out."
When Gu Yan said this, the phone rang again.
She picked it up and her frown gradually relaxed as she answered the phone.
"Achen, why are you calling me at this time? Didn't you say you had to accompany a client? Are you not busy anymore?"
Gu Ran had already walked over when he heard the name Shi Lanlan. Now he was standing next to Gu Yan and could clearly hear the man's voice on the other end of the phone.
"My client rescheduled their appointment, so I went out for a walk with my friend. I didn't expect to run into trouble right after arriving at the store. Didn't the manager just call you? I'm also in this store."
"Ah?" Gu Yan asked, somewhat surprised, "You're also at Lan Lan's jewelry store?"
The manager didn't mention it when he called just now.
Of course, Gu Yan didn't give the manager time to say too much.
"Yeah, if I hadn't been here, Lanlan would have been sent to the police station." Zhuang Chen said.
"Old An said he wanted to buy a necklace for his new girlfriend, so I came here with him. But when I walked in, I saw Lan Lan being framed. Lan Lan is your friend, so of course I couldn't just ignore her. So I let Old An go and stayed."
Gu Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this.
"With you there, I feel more at ease. Don't leave in a hurry. I'll drive over right away."
"Okay, don't worry, drive slowly on the road." Zhuang Chen reminded and comforted Gu Yan a few more words before hanging up the phone.
Gu Yan and Zhuang Chen have been dating for more than three years. Naturally, the Gu family knows something about Zhuang Chen, and they have met and had dinner together.
As for Shi Lanlan, everyone was even more familiar with her. She was a good classmate of Gu Yan since high school, and they later went to college together.
However, after graduating from university, Shi Lanlan married Sun Qingye, who was a well-matched match for her, while Gu Yan devoted herself to her career.
But this did not affect their friendship, and they still get together often.
Later, the Shi family fell into poverty, but Shi Lanlan was supported by her husband's family and was able to maintain her previous decent life.
But such good days did not last too many years. Just last year, Sun Qingye found a mistress outside. The mistress forced Shi Lanlan, the wife, to abdicate. Sun Qingye wanted to divorce several times.
In the end, the two divorced, and with Sun Qingye's manipulation, Shi Lanlan only got a small portion of the property.
This incident made Gu Yan very angry at the time. She went home and complained to the Gu family, but in the end she couldn't interfere in the affairs of other couples, so she could only give Shi Lanlan a little more help.
After Shi Lanlan's divorce, her financial resources became a problem. In addition, she had been a housewife for many years without working, so she couldn't find a good job if she suddenly went out to look for one.
Gu Yan helped her find a job in a luxury jewelry store.
Shi Lanlan has a good appearance and has taken good care of herself over the years. She has also been exercising, which meets the standards of luxury stores.
It has been two months since Gu Yan last mentioned this matter, which means that Shi Lanlan has been working in the luxury store for two months.
I think it's a pretty good job.
What's happening now?
How did you get falsely accused of theft?
Gu's mother knew that even if Shi Lanlan was down and out, she would not steal jewelry at her workplace.
She asked Gu Yan in confusion, "What's going on? From what Zhuang Chen said, this matter is actually related to that mistress?"
