Chapter 645 Stance
A waiter rushed over and whispered something into Gu Nian’s ear. Gu Nian’s expression immediately changed. He ordered, “Send Lu Yan over to them. Let them deal with it!” He looked furious and exasperated.
Lu Yan wailed as she rushed over. “Nanxing! Why did you hurt me? Why did you do this?”
I raised my voice. “It looks like someone wants to treat your poison. That person is probably the one who poisoned you, so why don’t you ask him? You really can’t pin this on me because I don’t even know how to use poison.”
I was saying that for everyone’s benefit but Lu Yan. She wouldn’t listen to me anyway.
Gu Nian’s face was livid. He said straightforwardly, “Nanxing, I’m sorry.”
I shook my head. “It has nothing to do with you. But, Gu Nian, be careful. Don’t let those people take advantage of you.”
Gu Nian didn’t say a word.
Someone walked over quickly and whispered into Gu Nian’s ear.
Gu Nian nodded with a dark expression. That person then walked to the side and picked up a microphone. He invited everyone to the dining area to take a seat. Today’s banquet had officially begun.
Gu Nian walked up to Jing Tian and me and said calmly, “Master Qi, I’m on your side tonight.”
Jing Tian looked at him. He didn’t say anything right away. The two of them looked at each other.
If one looked at them from a distance, they would definitely think that the two of them were quarreling.

Jing Tian said plainly, “I’ve always felt that this island lacked a decent president.”
Gu Nian was stunned for a moment. He then revealed a faint smile. “Okay!”
I didn’t understand their baffling conversation and looked at them in confusion.
Gu Nian said to me gently, “Nanxing, follow Jing Tian’s guidance today. Ignore the others and leave everything to him. Be a gentle and elegant princess and don’t show your fangs and claws.”
The first half of his sentence was fine, but what did the second half mean?
Before I could say anything, Jing Tian said, “With me around, she can bite people if she wants. Why restrict her freedom?”
I couldn’t take it anymore. “Am I a dog? Do you think I’d go around biting and clawing people?”
Jing Tian smiled. He put his arm around my shoulder and walked past Gu Nian.
I finally understood Gu Nian’s warnings. Once I entered the dining room, I saw Tong Hui, my eldest uncle, sitting in a wheelchair.
Back on the previous island, his skin was very dark, and he was so skinny that he was only skin and bones. He sat in a wheelchair all day long with his back hunched, as if he was tired from sitting there. He was like a ghost that had escaped from Hell.
He looked like a different person now. His skin was still a little dark, but he was much more “plump”. Although he was still very thin, he looked like a human being at least. He was no longer as scary as he looked on the island.
However, I recognized him at a glance, because of the look in his eyes. He looked at me like a hungry beast looking at its prey.
I couldn’t help but lean toward Jing Tian. My expression must have been unsightly. Jing Tian sensed it immediately. His hand was wrapped around my waist. He transmitted his warmth to me. I couldn’t help but shiver.
Jing Tian leaned over and kissed my forehead. “Nanxing, don’t be scared. As long as I’m here, I’ll kill anyone who dares to hurt you.”
It was then that I saw that the person pushing Tong Hui was Lee Yang. After so many years of not seeing each other, he had lost his innocence and childishness. He had become a young man with a malicious expression.
I couldn’t help but turn my head to look for Jing Ni. Their entanglement in the past had caused Jing Ni a great deal of harm.
