"no."
Sun Qianyu refused without even thinking.
She, the daughter of the prestigious Sun family, went to apologize to a small family in a remote and insignificant place?
That's giving them way too much face!
"No? So the negotiations have broken down? You can find someone else to go to Beijing. I'm sorry I can't accompany you."
Gu Fei stood up, making a gesture as if to leave.
Sun Qianyu immediately got angry: "Gu Fei! Do you know how honorable it is to be able to pretend to be my boyfriend? Even if you have a fiancée, if word gets back to Suzhou, it will increase your value many times over! And you actually dare to bargain with me? You think too highly of yourself!"
Gu Fei laughed: "Why are you in such a hurry? There must be a lot of people eager to have such a good opportunity. Just go find them, why do you have to come to me?"
After saying that, he turned and left.
[I'm not stupid. This woman has sacrificed so much, insisting on having me pretend to be her boyfriend; she must have something to gain from me.]
Although I can't imagine what she could get out of me, who cares? I need to sort out Xiangxiang's matter first.
However, I suspect that Sun Qianyu's eagerness to send me to Beijing is most likely because she and Ye Wentian are plotting something.
"Stop right there!"
Hearing his true feelings, Sun Qianyu was even more furious.
She even argued with Ye Wentian because of this guy.
He even suspected her of colluding with Ye Wentian.
If she didn't take him seriously, would she let him pretend to be her boyfriend?
Even if it's an act, having someone she dislikes come would still make her feel terrible!
But upon hearing her angry rebuke, Gu Fei didn't stop in his tracks at all: "I said, if I can't meet the preconditions I stated, then there's no point in discussing anything further."
"You...you stop right there! Okay, I promise you."
Seeing that Gu Fei was about to reach the door, Sun Qianyu finally had no choice but to give in.
It concerns her father's life, the family's fate, and her own. There are so many secrets involved. What does it matter if she sacrifices a little?
...
Police station.
Liu Xiangxiang was sitting in her office, organizing the records of the telecom fraud den.
A police officer suddenly knocked on the door and came in: "Officer Liu, someone is looking for you."
"who?"
"Forehead……"
Before the police officer could even speak, a tall, burly man pushed open the door and strode in.
Upon seeing who it was, Liu Xiangxiang's face immediately darkened.
Because the man who came in was her cousin, Liu Sichen.
This person is arguably the most business-minded person in the Liu family besides her.
But he's far too business-minded.
Even in interactions with family members, there is a lot of calculation and scheming.
So she never really liked this person and rarely had any contact with him.
This person has been bothering her ever since the Liu family got into trouble.
This has continued until now.
"Liu Xiangxiang, what have you thought about what I told you?"
Liu Sichen was dressed in a suit, looking very handsome and dashing. With his hands in his pockets, he had a cool demeanor that even the female police officers in the police station couldn't help but stare at.
They even went so far as to peek and eavesdrop through the crack in the office door.
Liu Xiangxiang didn't even look up, flipping through the notes as she said, "If you mean the suggestion that I go to Ye Wentian to make peace, or even marry her, I think I've made it very clear: it was impossible before, it's impossible now, and it will be impossible in the future."
"Ha, are you still putting on airs?"
Liu Sichen walked to the table, pressed down on the edge, and leaned close to her, lowering his voice.
"You're not still dreaming about marrying Gu Fei, are you? Look in the mirror, Liu Xiangxiang, what do you have that compares to Yun Ruxue? She's the number one beauty in Suzhou, while you barely make the list of the last of the Four Beauties."
"Putting aside looks and figure, just talking about ability, Yun Ruxue has made the small Yun Group very successful. A few months ago, she won a project from the Milu family and also got in touch with Lei Zhen. Now she has developed to the point that she can even stand on equal footing with the Gu Group. What do you have to compare with her?"
"Unless Gu Fei has lost his mind, there is absolutely no way he would abandon Yun Ruxue to find you. Even in ancient times, when people had multiple wives and concubines, you could only be the concubine!"
Liu Xiangxiang was not angry when she heard this.
She slowly closed the file and looked up at Liu Sichen.
"I admit, I am indeed not as good as Yun Ruxue, but so what? Can you compare to Gu Fei?"
What?
Liu Sichen was taken aback: "Why would I compare myself to Gu Fei?"
"Then why should I compare myself to Yun Ruxue!"
Liu Xiangxiang stood up, her eyes cold and sharp as she glared at him.
“Everyone in this world is unique. I may not be the best one, or even rank in the top 100, 1,000, or 10,000. But there is only one Liu Xiangxiang, and that is me.”
"If you like comparing so much, why don't you compare yourself to Gu Fei, or to Ye Wentian?"
Liu Sichen's face darkened, and he said angrily, "I compared you to Yun Ruxue in order to save the Liu family!"
"Your way of saving the Liu family is to sacrifice a woman? You're really something. A man as capable as you can definitely save the Liu family on your own, without needing to rely on anyone else, right? You're always bothering me, which gives me the illusion that you can't live without me."
Liu Xiangxiang looked at him with a cold smile, her eyes alluring, her figure seductive, but her tone full of icy coldness.
Liu Sichen's anger instantly surged to the top of his head: "I can't live without you? Liu Xiangxiang, you think too highly of yourself. If it weren't for you, would the Liu family have ended up like this today?"
"It was because you had nothing better to do than raid a telecom fraud den, offending Ye Wentian and causing the Liu family to be destroyed! Instead of going to find Ye Wentian, instead of sacrificing yourself, how can you face the Liu family!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiangxiang immediately took off her police hat.
"Liu Sichen, look closely at what's on my head! I raided the telecom fraud den for the people, for fairness and justice, and to live up to the title I wear!"
"It was Ye Wentian who harmed the Liu family, not me! You can't beat Ye Wentian, so you're making things difficult for me?"
The young police officers at the door silently applauded for Liu Xiangxiang after hearing her words.
Since you've chosen this profession, you must live up to its identity and responsibilities.
Although Liu Xiangxiang was promoted from an honorary police officer, her awareness was no less than anyone else's.
Criminals do frequently attack police officers' families, but this is absolutely not the officers' fault.
It's the criminals' fault!
Liu Sichen was so angry that he couldn't speak.
How come he never noticed before that Liu Xiangxiang was so sharp-tongued?
"Fine, fine, you're amazing! I'm not going to argue with you about who's right and who's wrong. I'm just asking you, with the Liu family in this state, your dad and my dad's old illnesses have flared up from the stress, and you're just going to wash your hands of everything and not care about anything?"
"The Liu family has always supported you so much, letting a woman like you compete with us for the inheritance. How dare you repay their kindness!"
