Are Gu Xiao and Ruan Lingyu thinking of Gu Yunxi? They're thinking of money, of their own future. They're used to a luxurious life; if they have to live a poor life again, they won't get used to it.
"I don't want to deal with this right now. Can you not force me?" Gu Yunxi's mind was a mess. The collapse of the Gu Corporation left her feeling guilty, after all, she was the one who caused it, but she didn't want her family to arrange a second marriage for her.
"How is your mom forcing you? She's thinking of you. In life, you must have money; otherwise, you can hardly move an inch. Even though you're an Inner Sect Disciple of Emperor Star Academy and your status is not ordinary, without money, you can't rely on being an Ancient Martial Artist to rob a bank. If you do, Emperor Star Academy would handle you, so marrying a rich husband is more reliable!"
Ruan Lingyu continued to persuade, "Since you don't like the person in this photo, I'll find you someone else. With your figure and looks, there's no barrier to marrying into a wealthy family..."
"I'm tired!" Gu Yunxi was truly frustrated from listening, and she turned and went upstairs.
"Yunxi, why are you so disobedient!" Gu Xiao shouted, causing Ruan Lingyu to tremble in her body, almost collapsing under the sofa. Oh my goodness, what's Gu Xiao trying to do, waking up the little ancestor upstairs? You want to die, but I still want to live a few more days.
Gu Xiao also realized that his voice was too loud, his heart trembled violently, and he immediately looked upstairs, patting his chest with a secret relief. Fortunately, the little ancestor didn't come down, otherwise, damn, I'd be sent to the hospital again...
Just as he thought of this, he heard a voice from upstairs making a call: "Hello, is this the hospital emergency desk? I have two people seriously injured here. Send a vehicle quickly. If you're late, just call the funeral home!"
Bang~
Bang~
As soon as these words came out, both Ruan Lingyu and Gu Xiao went soft and collapsed to the ground. Oh my goodness, call the funeral home? Is this aiming to kill us both?
That little ancestor, we didn't mean to be loud and disturb your nap. Considering we are your in-laws, spare us this once, okay?
Also, we know this isn't where we should be. We'll make ourselves scarce.
At this moment, beads of sweat as large as beans appeared on Ruan Lingyu and Gu Xiao's faces. They were not from heat but from being scared by a phone call from Xiao Tianyu.
No kidding, if this guy's calling the funeral home, how could they not be afraid?
Tap tap tap~
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Tianyu walked downstairs in flip-flops, his cold gaze sweeping over the Gu couple, feigning surprise: "Hey! How did you get in here?"
"This... this..." Hearing this, they mumbled indistinctly.
Xiao Tianyu arrived in front of them, took the photo from Ruan Lingyu's hand, and said coolly, "So you're finding a match for Yunxi again!"
"No... no... I guarantee there's no such thing. You and our Yunxi are the most suited; how could we find someone else for Yunxi!"
"Really not?" Xiao Tianyu asked.
"Really not!"
"Absolutely not!"
Gu Xiao and Ruan Lingyu spoke in unison. If they admitted there was something, this guy could rip them apart alive. They must not admit it, lest they die unjustly.
"Yunxi!" Xiao Tianyu's gaze turned to Gu Yunxi: "Did they really not force you?"
Uh?
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxi's beautiful eyes swept over Ruan Lingyu and Gu Xiao, seeing them almost kneeling before her, which left her speechless. It seems this dad and mom are frightened to the core.
So Gu Yunxi said to Xiao Tianyu, "They did..."
Ungrateful daughter, turning against her family.
With just one word out, they both collapsed to the floor and couldn't get up. But in the next second, Gu Yunxi continued, "That is not possible!"
Oh my fragile heart, this daughter, why can't she finish her sentence at once? Almost scared us to death.
And Xiao Tianyu said coolly, "So you're saying, there's nothing?"
"Yes!" Gu Yunxi nodded.
Xiao Tianyu's gaze turned back to the Gu couple and continued, "Now it's already noon. Why don't you stay for lunch, and by the way, the ambulance will be here soon!"
What does that mean?
Have us stay for lunch, and saying the ambulance...will arrive soon?
This is a threat, a blatant threat.
Upon hearing this, they broke into a cold sweat. Suddenly, Gu Xiao spoke, "Good son-in-law, I just remembered, I have some urgent matters to attend to, don't stand on ceremony!"
"I also have urgent matters to handle, son-in-law, don't keep us!"
Tap tap tap~
Having said that, they scrambled to their feet and ran towards the door, afraid that if they were a second slower, their lives would end here.
"Should I see you off…" Xiao Tianyu said blandly again.
Upon hearing this, the two, who were running, suddenly went weak in the legs, almost kneeling down.
"No need, son-in-law, we… we can walk ourselves!" they stuttered in fright.
"Remember to close the door!" Xiao Tianyu said.
Clap~
After they went out, the door was closed.
"Old man, what about you?" Xiao Tianyu's gaze shifted to Gu Qianqiu, but Gu Qianqiu had seen many big storms, and though his heart was disturbed, he remained outwardly calm.
He responded, "Since things have come to this, nothing I can say would help. You must treat Yunxi well, or else..."
"Grandpa!" Gu Yunxi said, her beautiful eyes glancing at Xiao Tianyu, then continued, "Actually, between him and me, it's just a contractual relationship..."
"What, a contractual relationship?" Gu Qianqiu expressed confusion, "So everything between you and him is fake?"
So much commotion, and it turns out it's all fake, even costing me the Gu Corporation, this...
"Yes!" Gu Yunxi nodded.
"Yunxi, come here!" Gu Qianqiu hmphed, pulling Gu Yunxi aside, whispering, "You really never liked him?"
"This..."
"Don't lie to me. I can tell from your eyes, you like him, right? Since things are like this, cherish it!" Gu Qianqiu advised.
"But he has a girlfriend!" Gu Yunxi's words unmistakably admitted it.
"He has a girlfriend?"
"Yes!"
"You are being ridiculous!" Gu Qianqiu was infuriated: "Do as you please, I won't meddle in your affairs anymore!"
With that, Gu Qianqiu glanced at Xiao Tianyu, then turned to leave. But just as he reached the door, there was a knock, and upon opening it, two young men in professional attire stood outside.
One of the young men said, "Is Gu Yunxi here?"
"You are?"
"We are bank staff, and we're here to officially seize this property, so..."
"Come in," Gu Yunxi said.
