"Ji Zhinan, you've finally fallen into my hands, hehehehe..."
Seeing Ji Zhinan in such a disheveled state, Cao Nana was overjoyed.
So what if she and Gu Yibei were together? She still ended up in Cao Nana's hands!
Cao Nana squatted down and gripped Ji Zhinan's chin tightly with one hand. Ji Zhinan's jaw was pinched painfully, and he was forced to look up at her.
Even as a fish on a chopping board, ready to be killed at any moment, her eyes remained as cold and calm as ever, showing no trace of fear.
Cao Nana disliked the way she looked at her.
"Do you really think Gu Yibei likes you?" Cao Nana said, enunciating each word clearly.
"..."
"Men are all the same, they fall in love with every girl they see, that's a fact that's been around for thousands of years. Do you really think you're Gu Yibei's girlfriend?"
Cao Nana laughed so hard she couldn't stop, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"What is Gu Yibei's identity, and what is yours? You're just a bastard without parents, a stray dog adopted by the Ji family! Do you really think that having this alluring face will make you a phoenix rising from the ashes? Stop daydreaming!"
"..." Ji Zhinan looked at her calmly.
"Judging from your expression, you probably don't know yet. Gu Yibei is engaged. Although the woman hasn't announced it, I heard that Gu Yibei specially bought an island in Y country as an engagement gift for her. On the day of their engagement, all the important people in Y country attended."
Cao Nana had been keeping an eye on Gu Yibei's affairs. Gu Yibei's engagement caused quite a stir in Y country, and naturally it did not escape Cao Nana's ears.
However, she did not expect that Gu Yibei's fiancé would be Ji Zhinan.
Firstly, it's because Gu Yibei understands Ji Zhinan. He knows she's a low-key person who doesn't like to show off or be in the spotlight. For ZN's long history, Xing Minggao has always been the one negotiating and signing contracts, while she, as CEO, has always worked behind the scenes.
Therefore, Ji Zhinan's appearance was only known within aristocratic families; outsiders only knew that Gu Yibei was engaged.
When it comes to Gu Yibei's engagement, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely a family marriage. The woman is a noble lady from a prominent family with a net worth of over 100 million and a prestigious status.
After all, given Gu Yibei's status, no one would believe that he married a commoner girl with no family background.
Cao Nana didn't believe it either. She never believed that Ji Zhinan could be so lucky as to marry into a noble family and live a life of luxury. Even if Gu Yibei liked her, so what? She'd heard that Gu Yibei's father was a duke from Y country and his mother was a princess from Y country—their identities were more impressive than the last.
People who are high and mighty care about their family's reputation and face the most. How could they allow their only son to marry Ji Zhinan, who can't bring any benefit to the Gu family?
Ji Zhinan remained silent. Cao Nana, thinking she had touched a sore spot, burst into laughter.
"Gu Yibei only took you as his mistress because he was attracted to your face. Aren't all men like that? They fall in love with anyone who's good-looking. All that 'I love you forever, we're one's only partner' stuff is just a lie. He just wanted to get you into bed. You actually believed that? Hehehehe... You're so naive and stupid!"
Ji Zhinan stared at Cao Nana expressionlessly, remaining silent.
"Once he's had his fill of you, he'll go back and inherit billions. Look, he married a rich and powerful wife, while you, Ji Zhinan, are just a used shoe that Gu Yibei discarded without a second thought!"
