Wang Ye became increasingly angry as he spoke; if he hadn't just undergone surgery, he probably would have jumped up and started hitting people and throwing things.
"Is everyone choosing to settle things quietly now?"
"Heh, everyone's interests have been satisfied, except mine!" Gu Ying feigned concern.
"There are some advantages, aren't there? At least you're still the Gu family's son-in-law and a top candidate for the future head of the family. Wang Ye, don't give up now."
Wang Ye's eyes nearly bled, and he said through gritted teeth:
"What's the use? Even if I'm the frontrunner to become the next head of the family, who would trust a cripple? And my father's illegitimate son, hah."
"It's the Wang family, it's the Wang family that ruined me!"
Hearing Wang Ye's heart-wrenching words, Gu Ying lowered her head, concealing a slight smile that crept onto her lips: It's done.
She believed that Wang Ye had thoroughly come to hate the Wang family.
See? This guy is no match for Lu Fan. He can be hooked with just a few words.
But what's the point of winning people's hearts so easily?
Thinking of Lu Fan, who had always been indifferent to her, Gu Ying sighed deeply.
After his anger subsided, Wang Ye was somewhat exhausted. Seeing his state, Gu Ying had no desire to continue the conversation, so she made an excuse to let Wang Ye rest, as she was going back.
"I'll come see you whenever I have time these next couple of days. If anything comes up, you can just call me."
Wang Ye nodded:
"You should go back first. Come see me after I've settled things with everyone around me."
They claimed it was for Gu Ying's safety.
Gu Ying was happy to play along, and left the sanatorium with a tender and affectionate expression.
As soon as she left, Wang Ye's fourth uncle walked in from outside with a gloomy expression: "You're really lucky, kid. But you're so greedy at such a young age. Aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan?"
Wang Ye glared fiercely at his fourth uncle, then rolled his eyes and sneered:
"Fourth Uncle, if I were you, I would go back and find out who gave you this idea and tricked you like this."
Wang Qi's expression immediately changed: "What do you mean?"
Wang Ye snorted, "This is none of your business, Fourth Uncle. Just go back and ask who instigated you to be the one to stick your neck out."
Hearing Wang Ye's veiled meaning, and thinking of Lu Fan and Gu Ying who had inexplicably come along, Wang Qi felt that he had been tricked.
He immediately abandoned any further trouble for Wang Ye and hurriedly left the sanatorium.
Wang Ye, however, breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Wang Qiying's departing figure.
What he just said was merely his guess, a provocation.
He guessed this based on Wang Qiying's personality and methods.
His fourth uncle was never very capable, and he was also ambitious and eager for quick success. Not only did Wang Ye's father, Wang Qishan, look down on this fourth brother, but his grandfather also only entrusted him with a portion of the business, never letting him handle anything important.
That's why Wang Ye suspected that his fourth uncle might have been instigated by someone to cause trouble at the sanatorium.
After all, even if the position of family head doesn't fall into the hands of Wang Qishan or Wang Ye, it will absolutely not fall into the hands of Wang Qiying.
Now that this speculation has been confirmed, Wang Ye's mood has not improved.
He could only drag his weak and tired body and struggle to fall asleep amidst his suspicions.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan brought Jiang Manyue's favorite soup dumplings home. Jiang Manyue, who should have been at the company, was home at this time. When she saw Lu Fan, she didn't say a word, but just stared at him up and down.
Lu Fan asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Manyue saw the soup dumplings and pastries in his hand and blurted out, "Did you buy these for me?"
After asking that question, Lu Fan handed her the food. "If I didn't buy it for you, who else would I buy it for?"
Who knew that Jiang Manyue would take the bag, happily eat the soup dumplings, but still wouldn't let him off the hook, saying sarcastically:
"Who knows what kind of beautiful woman she is, surnamed Li or Gu? Maybe I'm just someone else's leftovers."
It was obvious from those words that Madam Lu was extremely jealous.
Lu Fan chuckled, but didn't rush to explain. He just stared at Jiang Manyue with a sense of novelty.
Jiang Manyue couldn't help but laugh after being stared at for a moment, and gave him a shy push:
"What man is like you, knowing his wife is angry but not knowing how to coax her?"
Lu Fan, lounging comfortably on the sofa, said to Jiang Manyue:
"Wasn't I trusting you the same way you trust me?" "Besides, what man is like me, unmoved even when someone throws themselves at him!"
Jiang Manyue wrinkled her nose in disgust:
"That Miss Gu is already engaged, yet she still won't give up? Ugh, I really can't stand you, you flashy male Daji, attracting bees and butterflies everywhere!"
If it weren't for my trust in Lu Fan, I'd be consumed by jealousy every day.
Judging from Lu Fan's tone, it was clear that Miss Gu had no chance.
Jiang Manyue stopped feeling jealous and happily ate her snacks, while also inquiring about Gu Ying's visit earlier that day:
"She came to block the door this morning, and we almost got into an argument."
