The group of thugs were stunned.
Selling a person? Or selling this seemingly rich and beautiful young woman?
This is much more worthwhile than offending the leader for that little bit of money!
"You...you even sold your own sister?"
The thug looked at Gu Ruijie with disbelief.
Could this be a trap?
A smile that looked more like a grimace appeared on Gu Ruijie's face, but his eyes were filled with icy coldness.
"She doesn't even acknowledge me as her brother anymore, so why should I still acknowledge her as my sister?"
"It was them who didn't want mine first!"
The next day.
Ye Nian'an went out to take care of some business.
On her way back, someone suddenly called her name.
"Comrade Ye Nian'an!"
Ye Nian'an paused, looking warily at the gaunt man before her, whose eyes shone with an alarming intensity.
"Gu Ruijie?"
She still remembers.
The third young master of the Gu family.
Now a drowning dog burdened with a mountain of gambling debts.
What do you want with her?
"It's me."
Gu Ruijie cut to the chase: "Comrade Ye Nian'an, I've come to make a deal with you."
"trade?"
Ye Nian'an raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with undisguised sarcasm.
"right."
Gu Ruijie stared intently at her: "I know you hate Gu Wanwan. And I wish she were dead. Last night I heard with my own ears that she hired a group of thugs to..."
He told Gu Wanwan's vicious plan in detail.
Ye Nian'an's face instantly turned cold, and the air pressure around her seemed to freeze over.
Gu Wanwan is quite something!
It's like having a path to heaven but refusing to take it, while having no way to hell but insisting on walking through it!
"So, what's your deal?"
Ye Nian'an's voice was devoid of emotion.
"I can help you get rid of her once and for all."
A crazed glint flashed in Gu Ruijie's eyes: "I can turn the tables and use those thugs to make her reap what she sows. But I need something in return."
"If you don't agree, then we'll fight to the death! I'll go directly to Gu Wanwan and tell her about her shameful deeds. Once she's scared, she'll never dare to lay a hand on you again."
"And you will never find such a good opportunity again to get rid of Gu Wanwan!"
Ye Nian'an sneered inwardly.
Fight to the death? Does he even deserve that?
However, Gu Ruijie's suggestion was exactly what she wanted to hear.
Her favorite way of getting revenge is to treat others the way they treat her!
If Chu Yan and his group found out, with their methods, the most they could do was send Gu Wanwan to prison.
That's too good for her.
Moreover, she didn't want to offend her men's ears with such sordid matters.
Using Gu Ruijie as a weapon to deal with Gu Wanwan is the most suitable option.
"How can I believe you? Gu Wanwan is your own sister after all. Maybe you and your sister are ganging up on me."
Gu Ruijie hesitated for a moment and said, "You know my situation. Look at my miserable state now. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. I've been kicked out of the Gu family and treated like a drowning dog."
"That damn Gu Wanwan, she doesn't treat me like her brother at all. She despises me, tramples on me, and treats me like a dog!"
"What is a younger sister who doesn't treat me like a human being, just to survive?"
Having seen through his eyes, Gu Ruijie was serious; there wasn't a single flaw in his deception.
After a moment's thought, Ye Nian'an parted her lips slightly and said, "I can agree to that."
“After it’s done, I can give you a thousand yuan, Gu Ruijie. This is your only chance.”
"Okay! It's a deal!"
Gu Ruijie agreed without hesitation.
A thousand yuan, plus the money from selling Gu Wanwan, is enough to pay off part of his gambling debts.
He can use the rest to make a comeback in another city!
Looking at Ye Nian'an, he realized for the first time that this woman was far more terrifying than his second brother.
But he enjoys working with people like that.
On the afternoon of the day the deal was struck with Gu Ruijie, Ye Nian'an began her planning.
She knew very well that Gu Wanwan, that venomous snake, once she had set her mind on something, would never give up easily.
Instead of passively waiting for the opponent to make a move, it's better to take the initiative and put everything in your own hands.
Moreover, it's already the 30th of the lunar year...
She also needs to resolve this big problem so she can rush back for a joyous and festive New Year's Eve dinner with her family.
To avoid any unforeseen complications!
Ye Nian'an deliberately sent Chu Xin'er away, asking her to go to the state-run restaurant to pack some of the family elders' favorite dishes.
He made up another excuse, saying he was going to the nearby post office to mail a letter to a friend far away, and went out alone.
This posture undoubtedly gave Gu Wanwan, who was lurking in the shadows, an excellent opportunity to make her move.
Sure enough, as soon as she turned into a quieter alley, Gu Wanwan appeared "just in time" from the other end, as if she had planned it.
Today, Gu Wanwan's face was filled with carefully calculated anxiety and helplessness, and she immediately put on a melodramatic performance.
"Sister Nian'an! Please, please save my mother!"
She lunged forward, grabbing Ye Nian'an's arm tightly, tears streaming down her face. Her acting was so realistic it seemed she could win an Oscar.
Ye Nian'an raised an eyebrow slightly, sneering inwardly, but on her face she subtly revealed a hint of surprise and impatience.
"What are you planning to do now?"
"My mom... my mom's wound reopened yesterday because of my third brother's anger, and she has a persistent high fever. The doctors are at a loss!"
Gu Wanwan cried so hard her voice was hoarse, every word filled with despair: "Sister Nian'an, I heard that your maternal grandfather is the Golden Doctor, your medical skills must be amazing too!"
"Please, please have some compassion and go see a doctor for my mother! I don't want to be without a mother!"
Her reasoning was full of holes.
How could He Yue'er's minor superficial injuries be so serious that even doctors are helpless?
Ye Nian'an knew, of course, that this was nothing more than a clumsy excuse to lure her into a trap they had set.
Why should I help you?
Ye Nian'an feigned indifference and withdrew her hand: "Your brother Gu Tao tried to harm my child, and you came to harass me time and time again. I haven't settled accounts with you yet, which is already a huge favor."
"Sister Nian'an, I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"
Seeing that Ye Nian'an remained unmoved, Gu Wanwan actually knelt down with a "thump" and began to kowtow repeatedly on the cold ground.
"It was all our fault before! I sent you so many things, consider it compensation! Isn't that enough?"
"Please, please save my mother's life, she's dying! I'll do anything for you!"
This reckless performance immediately attracted several passersby who stopped to watch and pointed at them.
This is exactly the effect Ye Nian'an wanted.
She hesitated for a moment, and amidst the surrounding chatter, she finally seemed to be forced by her "filial piety" and the pressure of public opinion to impatiently give in.
"Alright, alright, stop hitting it, it's filthy! It's bad luck!"
She paused, her tone carrying a hint of forced compromise: "I can go with you. But I have to bring Xin'er with me; I'm worried about leaving her alone. She's at a nearby restaurant; wait for me to call her."
