Gu Ying sobbed and gave a bleak smile.
"In the end, it's all about that little bit of profit. If you're really not satisfied, you can just abandon everything. Anyway, in modern society, no one will bother with a useless piece."
Lu Fan's comments were quite harsh, which made Gu Ying very upset.
But she did not deny her ambition; she just let out a pitiful sob and threw herself into Lu Fan's arms.
Lu Fan stepped aside and said to her:
"Miss Gu, please have some self-respect. I have a lover."
Gu Ying pleaded pitifully:
"Please help me! I really don't want to marry into the Wang family. Please let me stay by your side! I'm willing to be your concubine!"
She was willing, but Lu Fan wasn't.
Putting aside the fact that he never had any feelings for her, just the fact that he kept such a beautiful snake by his side, was he just tired of having too much free time or what?
Gu Ying covered her face with her hands, gritted her teeth, and waited for Lu Fan's favor.
Having come this far, she had no way out.
Going against the old man's wishes would come at a huge price, one she couldn't afford.
Then I can only find myself a more stable backer.
Lu Fan has always been the best option.
They are rich, powerful, and capable.
She was far more favored by Lu Fan than that good-for-nothing Wang Ye, who was a gigolo. She hoped that Lu Fan would agree to her conditions.

"Miss Gu, please don't joke around. I've never had those feelings for you."
Lu Fan spoke in a nonchalant tone, but calmly and decisively rejected Gu Ying's request.
He knew all too well what tricks Gu Ying was playing.
And what consequences he would face if he did so. He could bear them, but there was really no need for him to.
After being rejected by Lu Fan again, Gu Ying's last bit of self-esteem was shattered.
Her pretty face grew increasingly pale, but Lu Fan changed the subject:
"However, even if we can't be lovers, we can still be business partners, right?"
Gu Ying, who was already disheartened, was suddenly stunned. She didn't understand what Lu Fan meant.
She looked at Lu Fan in astonishment, even forgetting to put on a show of tears: "What...do you mean? What business partner?"
“My grandfather has already passed on the intention to cooperate with you to my cousin. I no longer have the opportunity or leverage to cooperate with you.”
Gu Ying slowly shook her head, but a glimmer of hope remained in her eyes.
A faint hope rose in her heart, as if it were a ray of light illuminating hell.
Gu Ying wanted to grasp it, as if it were the last straw in her life.
Lu Fan smiled:
"The cooperation I'm talking about is naturally not a business partnership with the Gu family. Past experience is enough to prove that Miss Gu has no business acumen."
"If I continue to entrust business collaborations to Miss Gu, it would only prove that I am also an idiot."
Gu Ying blushed with embarrassment at Lu Fan's words, but she had no choice but to bow her head under his roof. No matter how embarrassing it was, she still wanted to seize this opportunity to get closer to Lu Fan and then slowly carry out her plans!
Lu Fan seemed to see through her thoughts, but instead of turning her away, he calmly and casually said to Gu Ying...
"You're not good at business, but you, Miss Gu, are quite adept at matters between men and women."
"And I happen to be very interested in your fiancé and his family."
“I would be happy to obtain some information about the royal family from you.”
"Of course, if the intelligence is accurate and brings me significant benefits, I wouldn't mind if you used my name to do something."
"On the premise that what you do is valuable enough for me to pay for!" As Lu Fan spoke, Gu Ying's expression changed: she thought that with the marriage to the Wang family, she had become a discarded pawn of the Gu family.
But what if we could join forces with Lu Fan?
Could we rely on him to once again seize power in the Gu family?
Once Gu Ying understood this, she felt inexplicably relieved.
She had been pursuing Lu Fan for a collaboration for a while, but to no avail. She even considered whether she should sell her looks...
As a result, she is now groveling and begging for Lu Fan's sympathy, truly lowering herself to the lowest possible level.
Lu Fan, however, remained indifferent to her.
When she was in despair, and even for a moment she wanted to resign herself to her fate, Lu Fan extended an olive branch to her.
Gu Ying never expected that her collaboration with Lu Fan would be both so difficult and so easy.
As if a gentle breeze had dispersed the dark clouds, Gu Ying's tear stains, though still wet, had already dispelled all the gloom.
Her smile returned.
It was as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart. She gave Lu Fan a sincere smile:
"Okay, I promise you, I will report to you in detail any information about the Wang family."
Gu Ying spoke with unwavering conviction, as if she had undergone a transformation.
Lu Fan also gave her a faint smile:
"That's right! If you want help from others, you should at least be able to give something in return!"
