Gu Lingyu was finally relieved by Su Yan’s attitude. This was how he had imagined Su Yan to look after he had broken off their engagement.
Gu Lingyu sat down with a smug look on his face. So what if Gu Ruoyun was powerful? Wasn’t her fiancée still madly in love with him and had even beaten someone up for him on the street.
“Su Yan, Gu Ruoyun is not a good person. I’m currently being boycotted by him everywhere. I Can’t help you with anything, even if I wanted to, I can’t.” Gu Lingyu looked as if he was doing this for Su Yan.. He paused for a moment before speaking again, “If you can help me investigate some things in the Guangping Imperial residence, I’ll naturally be able to stand up for you once I have the power.”
At this moment, Gu Lingyu did not hide his ambition at all to show Su Yan.
Su Yan looked at the greed in Gu Lingyu’s eyes and suddenly asked another question, “Brother Lingyu, do you still remember the time when you saved me when I was young?”
Hearing Su Yan suddenly mention the things that happened when he was young, Gu Lingyu paused. He did not know what Su Yan wanted to say.
“Of course I remember. At that time, you were really scared. You hugged my leg and refused to let go.” However, this was to improve Su Yan’s impression of him, so Gu Lingyu also revealed a nostalgic look.
“Then, Brother Lingyu, do you still remember what you called me at that time? I want to hear it again.”
Gu Lingyu could not see any expression on Su Yan’s face. It was not like he was the one who did the incident back then. How would he know what to call her? Gu Lingyu could only bite the bullet and say,
“Time has saved me. I don’t even remember anything now.” After saying that, Gu Lingyu even knocked his head in frustration, as if he was blaming himself for not forgetting.
“At that time, Brother Lingyu addressed me as his younger sister.” Su Yan pouted and said unhappily.
“Oh, right, I’ve remembered. I used to call you my younger sister.”
Just as Gu Lingyu finished speaking, the door to the main hall was suddenly opened.
“Su Yan, I heard that Lingyu was here, so I came to look for you guys. The three of us haven’t been together for a long time. Su Yan won’t mind my uninvited visit, right?”
Su Qiao could tell at a glance that she had dressed up meticulously. When she saw Gu Lingyu, her eyes lit up. Gu Lingyu had not gone to look for her for a long time. When she heard that he had come to the Su residence, Su Qiao hurriedly rushed over.
Behind Su Qiao was an anxious-looking servant. When he noticed Su Yan’s gaze, he quickly apologized.
“I’m sorry, miss. Miss Su Qiao forced her way in. I couldn’t stop her.”
Su Yan waved her hand to dismiss the servant. “Cousin is already here. Don’t you think it’s unnecessary to say such words?”
Su Qiao’s face darkened because of the servant and Su Yan’s words. She had shed all pretense of cordiality with Su Yan, but she did not expect Su Yan to be so disrespectful in front of Gu Lingyu.
She glared at Su Yan angrily in front of Gu Lingyu, feeling that it was all her fault.
If Su Yan had not taken away her privilege of entering and leaving the Su residence at will, she would have forced her way into the Su residence.
If Gu Lingyu was not here, she would not have been willing to come in!
“Alright, Su Yan, Qiao Qiao also wanted to look for me, so don’t make things difficult for her.”
Gu Lingyu’s tone was obviously dissatisfied with Su Yan’s harsh treatment of her cousin.
Looking at the two of them calling each other Ling Yu and Qiao Qiao, it was so obvious, how did she not realize it in her previous life?
“Since Brother Lingyu has spoken, then cousin, please take a seat.”
Su Yan had tried to probe Gu Lingyu about his childhood just now because she wanted to know when the two of them hooked up. She had only told Su Qiao about her falling into the water and being saved.
