Qi Nuan reached out, pulled the photo towards herself, and looked down.
The photo was taken from the side.
Gu Tingze, who looked much younger, had a smile on his face. Not far in front of him was a beautiful woman in cheongsam, holding a little girl and talking to someone next to her.
Qi Nuan recognized this beautiful woman as her long-deceased mother. The child she was holding was none other than Qi Meng when she was little.
"You, what do you mean by giving me this photo?"
Qi Nuan tried hard to calm down.
"It's obvious this is a candid photo, right? A lot of candid photos are just angled, so they don't really mean anything."
Gu Hui chuckled: "Why is Miss Qi so excited? I haven't said anything yet."
It would be a lie to say that I'm not panicking.
Although the photo was taken secretly from the side, she could still see the love and care in Old Man Gu's eyes, which made her disgusted.
He left the important secret key of his will to Qi Meng, and may have also left her a lot of property.
If Qi Meng hadn't lied to her, Qi Nuan would have been thinking about the real reason behind this unreasonable thing.
Now, in this old photo that Gu Hui took out, not only did two real people appear at the same time, but it might also affect her mother's reputation.
Qi Nuan habitually wanted to touch the dial on her wrist, only to remember that her watch was still with Gu Hui.
When she looked up, Gu Hui was observing her reaction with a faint smile.
"Miss Qi, have you ever thought that perhaps we could become special relatives through your sister?"
"I don't know what nonsense you are talking about." Qi Nuan's face darkened.
Gu Hui raised his eyebrows and continued, "After all, as a son, I know best how romantic and stingy my own father is. He would leave an inheritance to an unrelated person? Impossible."
He deliberately shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, looking helpless.
"Compared to the silly talk about the little lover, I believe it more. Your sister Qi Meng is also from the Gu family. It makes sense for the stingy old man to leave an inheritance to his daughter. You are the elder sister, and I am the elder brother. Doesn't this make us relatives? Don't you think so?"
Qi Nuan's blood was boiling, his hands and feet were cold, but his face was hot with anger.
"Shut up! Qi Meng is our Qi family's child. You have no right to slander my mother."
The mask of pretending to be friendly gradually fell off, and Gu Hui's eyes flashed with coldness: "I also hope she is not, otherwise..."
There were two loud bangs.
Qi Nuan saw that her Breguet was knocked hard against the corner of the table by him.
She gasped twice and wanted to stop him and take back her watch, but she was unable to intervene in the face of his rage.
Seeing that Qi Nuan was frightened, Gu Hui seemed very happy, so his hands moved more quickly.
After a series of "bang bang" and "clang bang" smashes, Breguet's dial was completely shattered, the movement parts were twisted and tilted out, and the inlaid diamonds were scattered all over the floor.
The ruby inlaid on the crown rolled along the table and stopped right in front of Qi Nuan.
Finally, as if he was still not satisfied, Gu Hui threw the broken watch to the ground, stomped on it hard with his foot, and crushed it again.
The mall manager and bodyguard who heard the noise watched from afar and didn't dare to come over.
Qi Nuan stared at the ruby in front of him, suddenly calmed down, and smiled.
I don’t know if Gu Shao, who had calmed down from his temper, saw it. He picked up the Patek Philippe watch and pulled Qi Nuan’s left hand to press it on her wrist.
pain!
Qi Nuan clenched his cashmere coat tightly with his right hand and held back a cry of pain.
Gu Hui adjusted his heavy breathing and chuckled with satisfaction.
"You say you don't believe it, but you married at the perfect time. Do you think you can snatch the Gu family away from me by joining forces with Lu Yin? Don't dream on."
There was a ferocious look in his eyes, and he exerted more force.
The dial dug into his flesh, squeezing his delicate wrist bones. Qi Nuan broke out in a cold sweat from the pain: "...Let go."
"I told you, I hate admitting defeat the most." Gu Hui did not let go.
"Lu Yin and I didn't get married because of this. I had no idea about it before. I just wanted to ask him for something."
Qi Nuan's wrist was painful from being pressed, and he was worried that it would break, so he unconsciously begged for mercy in his tone.
Perhaps Lu Yin's sudden "change of character" was indeed unusual, or perhaps Gu Hui had also checked in advance the difficult situation Qi Nuan was facing at the time, and seemed to believe her statement that she and Lu Yin did not deliberately join forces.
"Miss Qi, do you think I'm funny?" Gu Hui patted Qi Nuan's face with his other hand. "When I say nice things to you, you should listen obediently."
"You don't want Madam Qi, who has been dead for so many years, to be dug up by gossip magazines and lumped together with my father, whose reputation is so tarnished, do you?"
Qi Nuan's expression froze; this threat hit her soft spot.
"Haha, very good."
Gu Hui finally let go of Qi Nuan's wrist, lifted his loose bangs, and put on the mask of smile again.
"Since Miss Qi understands what I'm saying, I won't beat around the bush. Just hand over the key to the will and keep Qi Meng under control. Don't even think about coming to the Gu family to argue again. I'll give her the house as a gift to please the old man."
Qi Nuan rubbed her red and swollen wrist without saying a word.
Gu Hui crushed the empty watch shell on the ground, making it creak. "Where's Miss Qi's answer?"
This time, Qi Nuan didn't look at the ground. He just sighed and exhaled the foul air in his chest.
"My sister really doesn't know where the secret key to the will is. As for the inheritance, she has never wanted it. I promise you, she will always be named Qi."
Gu Hui chuckled again.
"Miss Qi is a sensible person. Perhaps you would be willing to come and work for me?"
Qi Nuan looked up at him and quickly understood what he meant from his arrogant eyes.
"No, I'm just a small department manager. I'm not good at lying. I just want to do my job well and earn a salary to get by. Spying is not for me."
"Okay." Gu Hui spread his hands and said with a smile: "When you have an idea, call me anytime."
Now that everything was said and the man had resumed his polite facade, Qi Nuan felt he could leave.
She stood up and patted the watch on her wrist: "This is compensation for my watch. Take it."
After saying that, there was no need to say goodbye to this person, so he turned around and walked out.
"Ah, Miss Qi."
The recognizable lazy voice sounded again behind him. Qi Nuan turned around but did not move.
"I'm kind enough to tell you another piece of news." He smiled cheekily, "My lawyer, Zheng, died suddenly a couple of days ago. I heard he was out delivering packages to clients in the dead of night. He was quite dedicated to his job. He probably died from overwork."
Qi Nuan's hands and feet began to feel cold again.
Lawyer Zheng, the lawyer who sent the real estate information to Qi Meng, has the surname Zheng.
"Haha, that's why I say, take good care of yourself and don't work too hard."
He smiled faintly and waved to Qi Nuan: "Well, goodbye."
Qi Nuan didn't stop and walked out of Gu's shopping mall quickly.
Looking at the expensive new watch on her wrist that was definitely not suitable for her, she took out her cell phone, found Lu Yin's number, and dialed it.
