“I promise there won’t be a next time!” Yan Xi’s eyes lit up. “So does it mean we’re good now? You can’t go back on your words!”
“I won’t. Now get down.”
Yan Xi listened to him obediently this time. She put the lip balm aside and sat on the chair opposite him.
“Remember to apply this. If your lips are too dry, it’ll be unpleasant for me to kiss.”
Gu Shen’s heart skipped a beat. He was about to speak when a call came. It was from Yan Dong.
He glanced at Yan Xi. “Now I have to clean up the mess you caused.”
Yan Xi pouted. “He must be calling you to talk abou what happened to Luo Yun and threaten you to punish me. That’s all he can do.”
“Twon’t punish you,” Gu Shen said gently before picking up the phone. “What’s the matter?”
Yan Dong was furious. The moment the call was answered, he started venting his anger.
“Gu Shen, can you discipline Yan Xi properly? Do you know how badly Luo Yun was tortured by her when she went to the hotel to negotiate with her?!”
“Luo Yun is her mother and her elder. Is that how she is supposed to treat her elder. What an ungrateful girl. I should have cut ties with her a long time ago. No, I should have strangled her to death when she was born!”
Gu Shen turned the volume of the phone down. He looked at Yan Xi worriedly, but there was no sadness or anger on her face. There was only disdain and disgust.
Yan Dong continued, “Gu Shen, I advise you to be wary of this ungrateful person. I think she’s crazy. She will eventually bring disasters upon you.”
“She is indeed crazy.” Gu Shen’s tone was calm. “If you want, I can find the best mental hospital for your wife and pay for the treatment.”
“What? Gu Shen, are you deaf? Yan Xi is the lunatic! If it wasn’t for her, the Yan family wouldn’t have become like this. You have to give me an explanation for this!” Yan Dong shouted angrily into the phone, his face ashen. “Otherwise, I’ll punish you too!”
Gu Shen smiled and said sarcastically, “Very good. I’l inform the people to cancel all the cooperation between the Gu family and the Yan family.”
The other end of the line instantly fell silent. Gu Shen hung up the phone and looked at Yan Xi.
“You should have heard what he said.”
“Theard it loud and clear. Is he stupid? Why does he think you’ll believe what he says?”
Gu Shen raised his eyebrows. “Do you think I’ll believe what you say?”
“Of course you will,” Yan Xi said matter-of-factly.
Gu Shen smiled. “He also told me that he will definitely not let you off this time and that he wants to cut ties with you.”
Yan Xi didn’t look bothered in the slightest by that.
Yan Dong had always been a bluffer. To deal with a bluffer, it was as simple as squashing an ant.
Gu Shen continued, “If he can’t get anything out of you, he’ll aim at my company. He’s very skillful at stabbing people in the back.”
Yan Xi then realized that she had caused Gu Shen trouble again. She lowered her head despondently.
“Tm sorry, I didn’t mean it. If Luo Yun didn’t have it in for me, I wouldn’t even bother to talk to her.
Gu Shen teased her. “Yes, you’ve really caused me a lot of trouble this time.”
“Is the trouble really very big?” Upon hearing that, Yan Xi looked instantly worried, afraid that she had caused too big a mess this time.
Could Gu Shen still deal with the Yan family?
From her facial expression, Gu Shen thought that Yan Xi was scared. Just when he was about to say something to comfort her, Yan Xi pounced on him and patted his shoulder earnestly.
“Gu Shen, we can’t admit defeat so easily. Even if we have to eat rubbish to survive, we still need to teach Yan Dong a lesson!”
Her words made Gu Shen laugh and cry.
This was completely different from what he had expected.
Yan Xi continued, “Yan Dong is just bluffing, Actually, in the past few years, his company looks only good on paper. There are no large-scale export projects for a long time. Now is the perfect time to take his life when he is weak. We’ll first cut off the Yan family’s sales channels and snatch their clients,
then…”
Gu Shen looked at her intensely and suddenly laughed. “Nonsense!”
