Ye Qian smiled wryly. “I used to be at the bottom of their ranks, serving them and allowing them to trample on me. Now that I’ve risen to the top and they’re not living as they wish, it’s naturally because I’ve taken what they deserve. It’s only natural for me to repay them.”
“What a double standard!” I exclaimed.
Ye Qian quietly took a sip of coffee.
“What do you plan to do?” I asked her.
Ye Qian was not someone who could be easily manipulated. Why would Gu Yan ask her to do anything? With Ye Qian’s personality, she was not someone who could be controlled by others.
Ye Qian crossed her hands and supported her chin. “Nanxing, am I too cold-blooded?”
“Cold-blooded? If you were cold-blooded, the Gu family would no longer exist, right? Why do you say that about yourself? Is it because you don’t care about old ties and won’t Help Gu Yan?” It was rare to see Ye Qian like this. I wondered what Gu Yan had told her.
Ye Qian sighed softly. “Nanxing, if I didn’t meet master Sanand come to your side in the end, I think even if I were alive, I would still be a walking corpse without a soul. I have too much hatred in my heart that I have nowhere to vent.”
“What about now? Are you soft-hearted?” I propped my chin and tilted my head to look at her.
Ye Qian smiled, and her eyes were slightly red.
I reached out to pat her. “Then help her within your capabilities. Any problem that money can solve is not a problem. We don’t lack money now but don’t hurt your own feelings. We have to move on as we live. We can’t keep torturing ourselves with the people and things of the past, don’t you agree? I’m guessing that Gu Yan doesn’t have much of a foothold in the Gu family. The Jing family doesn’t have much of an advantage for her either. She’s thinking of running away, isn’t she?”
Ye Qian looked at him with appreciation and sighed. “That’s right. She wants me to give her a sum of money. She wants to go abroad and never come back. She asked for five million.”
“Five million? That’s not a lot, but why should she be worth five million? I don’t see how she’s worth it.” I scoffed.
Ye Qian calmly took a sip of her coffee.
I calmed down as well. “She doesn’t have the ability to take advantage of others. What is she going to exchange for five million?” Gu Yan wasn’t stupid. She wouldn’t ask for so much for no reason.
Ye Qian smiled. “Nanxing, you know Gu Yan so well.”
I only know human nature.
“She told me a secret, a secret about my background.” Ye Qian’s voice sounded a little tired.
“Gu Yan said that I’m the real eldest daughter of the Gu family. Lu Yan is the illegitimate daughter of the housekeeper of second master Gu and his wife.”
I was stunned. “Why are we talking about this again?”
Ye Qian smiled wryly. “It’s annoying, isn’t it? I feel annoyed too. I’m not even interested in knowing the truth. Just treat it as a story.”
“That’s not what I meant. I meant… you and Lu Yan… if that’s the case, then what about the things that happened before… sigh, what does that count as?” I really didn’t know where to start.
Ye Qian reached out to stroke her face and said softly, “It counts as weird.”
I was speechless.
Ye Qian calmed her emotions, and she slowly said, “Back then, master Gu Er was unhappy that his marriage was arranged by his family, and he was unable to resist, so he seduced the personal maid that Madam brought from her family. So, the two women became pregnant almost at the same time. The maid applied for leave and was secretly arranged. She originally thought that if he gave birth to a son, she could cause a ruckus and at least force madam to take care of her under her name. Unfortunately, both women gave birth to daughters, so Master Gu Er’s heart became indifferent.”
