Chapter 254 A falling out, unforgivable.
Xiao Yan spoke in a very calm tone, but it was precisely this calmness that terrified Alice.
She thought she knew Xiao Yan well, but now she realized that she didn't know him at all.
Just like now, Alice thought Xiao Yan was going to get angry, but he just looked at her calmly, without even a trace of expression on his face.
But she knew that it was precisely this expressionless Xiao Yan who was most terrifying, because he was fearless. Alice had no doubt that if she hurt Gu Mingxia, he would completely destroy Tina's already incomplete life.
This guy is crazy. Alice felt that she had completely lost control of him when she let Xiao Yan return to Xiangcheng.
In just a few months, Xiao Yan had completely broken free of her control and made his own decisions. Perhaps this was the real Xiao Yan, and she had been deceived by appearances all along.
This realization sent a chill down Alice's spine. If she could, she wished she had never taken Tina back to Xiangcheng, but now it seemed too late.
When she appeared with Tina as Xiao Yan's fiancée, and when Gu Mingxia left the villa heartbroken, she and Xiao Yan were on opposing sides.
"Don't touch Tina!"
"Tina's decision-making power is always yours, not mine!"
Xiao Yan left those words behind and strode into his room. Alice slumped onto the sofa, regretting her actions, but it was too late.
The Morgan Group is already mostly in Xiao Yan's hands, so even if Alice regrets it now, it won't make much difference!
A short while later, Xiao Yan came out carrying a suitcase. He didn't even glance at Alice, and went straight out after changing his shoes. Just as he reached the door and was about to open it, Alice seemed to remember something and suddenly stood up.
"Xiao Yan, you...you can't just leave like this."
"What? Since when do I need your permission to leave?"
Now that things have turned sour, there's no need to save face anymore. It's not that Xiao Yan is heartless, but Alice's actions have crossed his bottom line. For so long, Gu Mingxia has always been his Achilles' heel.
Xiao Yan would rather be injured himself than let anyone hurt Gu Mingxia, and this time Alice clearly misjudged the situation.
"I...I didn't mean that!" Alice suddenly became nervous. No matter how much money she had, she was still a woman. Under Xiao Yan's powerful aura, all her composure vanished. "You know, Tina hasn't seen you for a long time. If you leave like this, how...how am I supposed to explain to her that you haven't been paying attention to her?"
Xiao Yan snorted lightly, a mocking smile on his lips. He put down his suitcase and turned to look at Alice with arrogance.
"Do you think I should continue to watch over her? Do you think I still need to take care of her? Gu Huaiyan, did you say something wrong, or did I mishear you?"
He really wondered if the woman in front of him was naive or just pretending. How could someone with such low emotional and intellectual intelligence have managed to marry into the Morgan family?
"Xiao Yan, let's just say I was wrong. You...you can move out, but...can you come over often in the future? You've been her only friend all these years, you..."
"Alice, I think you've got one thing wrong. It's not that you've done something wrong, it's that you were wrong all along! Also, I have no obligation to take care of Tina anymore! Call me ungrateful or treacherous if you want! I've done enough for you over the years, and I think the shares you transferred to me are what I deserve!"
Xiao Yan ignored Alice and left the villa with his suitcase. Watching his disappearing figure, Alice slumped onto the sofa, wondering what would happen to Tina in the future.
She had Xiao Yan on her mind all the time, but now that Xiao Yan had completely turned against them, how was she going to explain this to her daughter?
Alice covered her face helplessly, glistening tears slipping through her fingers. Little did she know that Tina, dressed in a white nightgown, was quietly standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor.
Although I don't know what happened between Mommy and Brother Xiao, judging from Brother Xiao's expression, Mommy must have made him angry.
Even if Tina wasn't very bright, she could understand what Xiao Yan meant: he... wouldn't come to see her again! Tina gripped the wall tightly with both hands, biting her lip, listening to Alice's suppressed sobs in the living room downstairs. After a long while, she quietly turned around and went back to her room.
Things between adults are really complicated. Brother Xiao, don't be angry. In a few days, when Mommy is in a better mood, Tina will go and apologize to Brother Xiao. That way, Brother Xiao will come back to see Tina!
With this beautiful wish in mind, Tina lay back down in bed, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
Downstairs, Alice wiped away her tears after a bout of crying, her well-maintained face showing determination. Since they had already torn off all pretense of civility, they might as well turn against each other completely!
Even though she has lost most of Morgan's shares, Alice is still the second largest shareholder after Xiao Yan, so she is confident even if a real fight breaks out.
After leaving the villa, Xiao Yan sat in his car for a while and then drove directly to the 7UP Hotel. This place, which he had spent so much money to buy, finally had its greatest use.
Once they arrived at the 7UP Hotel and everything was settled, Xiao Yan carried his suitcase to the presidential suite and casually lay down on the large bed.
It was almost dawn. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan took out his phone and sent a message to Qianye, telling her not to call him at the company tomorrow. Then he turned off his phone, pulled the blanket over himself, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
At the Gu family villa, Gu Mingxia and Lin Fu personally escorted the somewhat delirious Gu Huaikun to Lanyue Tower.
As soon as they entered the living room, they saw Qin Yueru, dressed in light-colored loungewear, standing at the door waiting for them.
"Master, look at you...you've lost so much weight!"
Although she knew that Ah Xin had used Ice Blue on Gu Huaikun, she did not expect Gu Huaikun to be like this. For a moment, Qin Yueru felt a little sad.
However, just as her hand was about to touch Gu Huaikun's arm, he was so frightened that he grabbed Gu Mingxia's arm tightly and hid behind her.
"You're a bad person! You're a bad person who wants to take over Xiaxia's Gu family business! You're a bad person!"
Gu Mingxia frowned slightly. Even when she was delirious, Gu Huaikun was still thinking about her, his daughter. She felt a strange mix of emotions.
"Dad, don't be afraid! Miss Qin is not a bad person. She will take good care of you. She is a good person."
When Qin Yueru heard Gu Mingxia say that she was a good person, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. When did a murderer like her become a good person?
But those very words only strengthened Qin Yueru's resolve to take good care of Gu Huaikun. She immediately gave him a sincere smile and looked at him tenderly.
"Master, have you forgotten? I am Xiaoru. Don't worry, I won't steal the Gu family property that you left for Xiaxia, okay?"
"Really?"
Upon hearing that he wouldn't fight over it, Gu Huaikun's expression immediately changed. Gu Mingxia didn't know why, but the bitterness in her heart was truly indescribable.
"Yes, Master, how about Xiaoru takes care of you while you stay here?"
"No, I want to live with Xiaxia!"
Gu Huaikun grabbed Gu Mingxia, afraid that she would disappear if he let go. Qin Yueru smiled and then spoke softly before Gu Mingxia could speak.
"Master, Xiaxia has a lot of things to do. She has to fight those bad guys who are trying to steal from the Gu family. She doesn't have time to take care of you. Why don't you stay here with me and we can watch Xiaxia fight the bad guys, okay?"
"Those bad guys who robbed the Gu family, we must fight them! Xiaxia, go fight them!"
Gu Huaikun looked at Gu Mingxia intently, released his grip on her wrist, and pushed her away forcefully. Gu Mingxia looked at Qin Yueru with admiration.
"Dad, will you live here from now on? I'll do my best to fight bad guys."
"Yes, Xiaxia, let's go fight the bad guys! Fight the bad guys!"
Gu Huaikun walked to Qin Yueru's side and looked at Gu Mingxia very seriously. Qin Yueru held his arm and looked at Gu Mingxia sincerely.
"Don't worry, Miss. I will take good care of Master and make sure he is not exposed to Ah Xin again."
"That would be for the best! I'm sure Miss Qin has heard of my methods, but as long as you don't betray me, I will definitely keep my promise after it's all done."
"Of course I believe in Miss, and I hope Miss can believe in me too!"
Gu Mingxia stared at Qin Yueru with a cold face for a long time, but Qin Yueru was supporting Gu Huaikun the whole time, with a gentle smile on her face.
In the end, Gu Mingxia said nothing more to her, but instead turned her gaze to Gu Huaikun.
"Daddy, you have to stay here obediently. I'll come to see you every day, okay?"
"Okay, Xiaxia, remember to beat up the bad guys!"
"Yeah, beat up the bad guys!"
Gu Mingxia smiled bitterly, turned around and quickly left Lan Yue Tower. Lin Fu naturally followed behind her. Gu Mingxia walked quite a distance before stopping and letting out a long sigh.
"Miss, Fourth Madam... can she take good care of Master?"
It wasn't that Lin Fu was uneasy; it was just that he felt this fourth wife was a bit unreliable.
"Don't worry, Qin Yueru wouldn't dare to play any tricks!"
As long as she asks for something, Gu Mingxia can guarantee that Qin Yueru will do as she says, and do it very well.
"By the way, Uncle Lin, you should stay with my dad from now on. I'll feel more at ease with you around."
Gu Mingxia turned around and looked at Lin Fu seriously. This man had been by Gu Huaikun's side for almost forty years, and she absolutely believed in his loyalty.
"And what about Miss..."
"Uncle Lin, don't you believe in my abilities? Besides, I have Song Jia with me; no one can outwit me!"
"But……"
"No buts! Also, you need to help me prepare a building in the villa. I still have a group of mercenaries who haven't come yet."
"Oh, I see! In that case, I can stay by Master's side without worry!" Lin Fu immediately smiled憨厚ly. "Don't worry, Miss, I'll have someone prepare right away, and I guarantee your friends will be able to move in within three days!"
