Chapter 69: One wrong step, all wrong

Gu Zhiyan stared at the words Pei Yi sent for a few seconds, with no expression of surprise on his face.

Pei Yi was paying close attention to Lu's situation, how could he know nothing about it?

Lu Chengze was originally an illegitimate child. Compared with Lu Chengyuan, his only advantage was the support of the Jian family.

Now, his only advantage is gone, and he also messed up the cooperation with Li's company. The partner returned a large number of products, and Lu's stock price fell.

One wrong step leads to all wrong.

It is reasonable for shareholders not to buy his account.

Moreover, Mr. Lu asked the company's legal department to send Liu Yaozong to jail. Considering how much Liu Yiyi cares about her good-for-nothing brother, it is impossible for her to do nothing.

If she caused such a commotion again when Lu Chengze met with the shareholders, and the shareholders were completely disappointed in his abilities, there would be nothing that could be done to save the situation.

Rather than the quarrel between Lu Chengze and the shareholders, he was more curious about how he would deal with Liu Yiyi.

After all, he was his “lifesaver”!

Thinking of all the grievances that Lu Chengze had caused Jian Yao to suffer because of Liu Yiyi, Gu Zhiyan's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc.

Gu Zhiyan: "Where is Liu Yiyi? Is she still at Lu's?"

If Lu Chengze could withstand the pressure and protect Liu Yiyi, even though Gu Zhiyan thought he was stupid, he would still praise him and say "he has guts".

Pei Yi was a little puzzled as to why he asked about Liu Yiyi, but he still told her truthfully what he had found out.

Pei Yi: "I heard from someone in their company that Liu Yiyi pleaded for her brother, but she happened to run into Lu Chengze meeting with shareholders, and was fired. She has been kicked out of Lu's company, and even the car that Lu Chengze gave her was taken back."

Speaking of this, Pei Yi sighed.

This kid from the Lu family drove my sister-in-law away because of Liu Yiyi. I thought he liked Liu Yiyi so much, but now he drives her away because of company matters?

In the final analysis, it is like this: unless you get slapped in the face, you don’t feel the pain.

Pei Yi: "The car has been taken back, and the house she lived in before will probably be taken back as well. This move seems smart, but it is actually a bad move."

That woman, Liu Yiyi, obviously stayed with him for money.

Now, not only has the lifeblood of the family been sent to police station by Lu, but she also has to spit out everything she had eaten before. This is tantamount to cutting off her flesh and drinking her blood.

If she was determined to fight to the death with Lu Chengze, it would be a tricky problem.

Even if Liu Yiyi is ignorant and can't think of this level, the people from the Lu family will make her think of it.

If he were a member of the Lu family, he would never miss such a good opportunity.

Gu Zhiyan certainly understood Pei Yi's implication.

He was about to say something when the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

He tapped his fingers and replied, "Let someone keep an eye on Liu Yiyi."

Then exit the chat interface.

He had just put down his phone and turned off the music when the bathroom door opened.

Jian Yao changed into a black silk long nightgown and stood by the door holding onto the door frame.

Her skin was originally fair, and it looked even whiter than snow against the black nightgown. Perhaps it was because she had just washed it with hot water, and the steam was rising, so her whole body was faintly pink.

When Gu Zhiyan saw her like this, his dark eyes lit up startlingly. Seeing that she was about to come over by herself, he took a few quick steps forward stiffly, "There's water on your shoes, be careful not to fall."

As he spoke, he quickly walked up to Jian Yao and picked her up by the waist.

The warm body temperature was transmitted to each other through the thin clothes. Jian Yao could even feel the firm and tight muscles under Gu Zhiyan's clothes.

Her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably, and her face was flushed with heat.

I caught a glimpse of Gu Zhiyan's red ears from the corner of my eye, and I felt a little more balanced inexplicably.

She's not the only one who's nervous!

These are all normal human emotions and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

This time, Gu Zhiyan put the person directly on the bed.

Jian Yao sank into the soft big bed. When she raised her head, she saw Gu Zhiyan's angular chin and the large collarbone exposed at the open collar.

Because he had just washed, the loose hair on his forehead was combed back, revealing a smooth forehead, which looked a bit more aggressive and aggressive than during the day.

Jian Yao exhaled slowly, trying to make her voice sound less nervous, "There's only one bed here."

Jian Yao glanced sideways at the width of the bed. It was quite large, with two quilts, and more than enough for two people to sleep on.

It’s just that her sleeping posture and habits are not good, and she is afraid that she might offend Gu Zhiyan unconsciously.

Gu Zhiyan followed her line of sight and looked over, whispering to her, "It's okay, I'll just stay on the sofa for a while."

After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to help Jian Yao make the bed, then picked up one of the quilts and pillows and walked towards the sofa.

Jian Yao's beautiful eyes widened slightly as she watched Gu Zhiyan quickly clean up the pillows on the sofa and put a pillow and silk quilt on it.

In fact, she had no intention of letting Gu Zhiyan sleep on the sofa!

She just wanted to say that there was only one bed here and she didn't sleep well, so please don't mind if she offended him unintentionally.

But now, Gu Zhiyan had already taken the initiative to ask to sleep on the sofa, and she was too embarrassed to call him back.

The lights in the room were turned off, leaving only a floor lamp on, with the brightness adjusted to the lowest setting.

Jian Yao was lying on the bed wrapped in a quilt, with the scent of Gu Zhiyan still on her body.

I thought I would be uncomfortable with having another person in the room, but I fell asleep so quickly.

When I woke up the next day, it was already bright outside.

Jian Yao lay on the bed, looking at the unfamiliar ceiling above her head. It took her a while to remember that this was in an old house and that she and Gu Zhiyan lived in the same room.

Her chaotic mind suddenly became clear, and she immediately sat up and looked towards the sofa.

The person sleeping on the sofa was gone, leaving only the quilt and pillows stacked into a square and neatly placed on the sofa. He must have been up for a while.

Jian Yao reached out and took out her cell phone to take a look. It wasn't too late, just a little after seven.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This is my first time staying at this old house, so it’s not a good idea to sleep in.

She tucked the hair that was scattered beside her cheeks behind her ears and got up from the bed.

The injury to her ankle last night was not serious. Gu Zhiyan massaged it for her and applied medicated oil. After a night's rest, she felt much better.

She had just put on her slippers when the bathroom door opened.

Gu Zhiyan, neatly dressed, stood at the door and walked towards this side.

"You woke up so early. Is your foot healed?"

Jian Yao tentatively stepped on the mahogany floor with her injured ankle and said, "It's much better now."

At least, walking alone is no problem anymore, I just walk a little slowly and don't dare to exert too much effort.

Gu Zhiyan watched her take a few steps and confirmed that she could take care of herself before he spoke, "Then you wash up and change clothes first, I'll go down first?"

Jian Yao said "hmm" and nodded vigorously, "Okay, I'll be down soon."

In the bathroom, the facial cleansing mousse had been placed next to the toothbrush cup, and toothpaste had been squeezed onto her toothbrush in advance.

Jian Yao picked up the pink toothbrush and used a cup of water to rinse her mouth.

When she looked up at herself in the mirror, she realized that the corners of her lips had turned up without her noticing.
