Chapter 48: Can You Stand That Kind of Woman

Lan Yu Rou walked behind Gu Yan Zhi, her slender arm hooked around his neck. The person behind him didn’t speak, Gu Yan Zhi immediately felt something was wrong. When he turned around and saw her, he frowned, looking at her with disgust, his brows furrowed, “Get out.”

Lan Yu Rou reached out again, wanting to climb onto Gu Yan Zhi’s neck. Gu Yan Zhi’s cold eyes swept over her, her heart sank, and she stopped.

Gu Yan Zhi’s intimidating gaze gave her a sense of oppression.

Lan Yu Rou’s voice was weak, “Didn’t you let me in?”

Gu Yan Zhi frowned, he thought it was Ruan Yu. After all, this was his study, a place where no one in the Gu residence dared to enter except Ruan Yu. Only Ruan Yu would come to his study to find him and urge him to go to bed early.

Ruan Yu heard the noise upstairs from downstairs and went upstairs. Ji Sheng also heard it and followed her upstairs.

Lan Yu Rou heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs and knew that Ruan Yu was coming up. She had an idea, looked at the study door, and quickly ran over to lock it.

When Ruan Yu arrived at the study door, she heard a scream from inside and the sound of fabric being torn.

She frowned and knocked on the door, “Gu Yan Zhi, open the door.”

Ji Sheng also had a bad feeling in her heart. She silently prayed that nothing would happen, otherwise how could she face her sister-in-law.

Gu Yan Zhi disgustedly threw Lan Yu Rou aside and opened the study door. Ruan Yu looked into the study, Lan Yu Rou’s clothes were torn, the lipstick on her mouth was also smudged, she was trembling, her eyes were filled with tears, she pointed at Gu Yan Zhi, “He, he wanted to rape me…”

“Lan Yu Rou, what are you talking about?” Ji Sheng frowned, she knew her own brother, this was slander, she had already noticed that Lan Yu Rou was not right, but she didn’t want to suspect her.

Ruan Yu looked at Gu Yan Zhi, seeing the ruthlessness in his eyes, she wrapped her arms around his waist, “I believe you.”

Gu Yan Zhi gave a faint hum.

Ruan Yu stepped back from his embrace. From the moment Lan Yu Rou said she was carsick and wanted to sit in the passenger seat, she knew that this woman was not as innocent as she seemed.

“Where’s your evidence?” Ruan Yu asked.

Lan Yu Rou looked at her torn clothes, “Evidence? Isn’t this obvious enough?”

Ruan Yu walked forward, “You tore it yourself.”

She believed Gu Yan Zhi, even if he was desperate, he wouldn’t look at someone like Lan Yu Rou.

“I don’t have that much strength.” Lan Yu Rou said pitifully, “Are you afraid to admit it?”

Ruan Yu snorted, how could this woman say this so confidently.

She stepped forward, grabbed her sleeve, and with a rip, the fabric tore, “This is the evidence.”

“If this isn’t evidence, then just tell me what compensation you want.” Ruan Yu looked at her with cold eyes.

Lan Yu Rou thought that Ruan Yu wanted to settle the matter quietly, after all, they could afford to live in such a big villa, they wouldn’t mind a little money, “Ten million, otherwise I’ll tell everyone about this, I guess you don’t want your husband’s reputation to be affected, right?”

Ji Sheng was furious, “You…”

She originally thought that Lan Yu Rou was a good person, but she didn’t expect her to be so scheming.

Ruan Yu sarcastically curled her lips, she was just a fresh graduate, her thoughts were really simple, “You dare to ask for ten million on my territory, aren’t you afraid that I can make you never speak again, huh?”

Her voice was cold and piercing, the chill on her body was intimidating.

Lan Yu Rou’s momentum immediately weakened, but her goal was still money, “Five million, no less.”

“Not a penny.” Ruan Yu said, she remembered that Gu Yan Zhi was always very cautious, especially in his study, she looked at Gu Yan Zhi, “Where is it?”

Gu Yan Zhi naturally knew what Ruan Yu was talking about, he took the miniature surveillance camera from the bookshelf.

Seeing the surveillance camera in her hand, Lan Yu Rou’s face turned black, this was something she never expected.

“Do you want me to play it back?” Ruan Yu asked coldly.

Lan Yu Rou saw that the situation was not good and begged for mercy, “Sister, I was wrong, I was momentarily blinded by greed, just let me go this time, I swear I will never appear in front of you again.”

Tears streamed down her face, her hair was disheveled, she looked very pathetic.

“I can let you go, but I don’t have the final say, you have to ask the person you framed.” Ruan Yu looked at Gu Yan Zhi and left it to him to handle.

Gu Yan Zhi’s voice was cold, he looked at the pathetic woman on the ground with disgust, “Get out.”

Lan Yu Rou thought that she was safe and that Gu Yan Zhi had let her go, she fled from the Gu residence in a pathetic state.

Ruan Yu knew clearly that things wouldn’t be that simple.

“It’s really hard to judge people by their appearance.” Ji Sheng pouted.

Then she left, leaving the space to Ruan Yu and Gu Yan Zhi.

Gu Yan Zhi called the servants and had the study cleaned inside and out, disinfected, it was clear how much Gu Yan Zhi disliked Lan Yu Rou.

He turned around and went back to his room to take a shower for half an hour before coming out of the bathroom.

Ruan Yu was lying in bed waiting for Gu Yan Zhi, when Gu Yan Zhi came out, she burrowed into his arms, smelling the pleasant fragrance of his shower gel, “Husband, I wronged you today, it was my fault for not knowing people.”

Gu Yan Zhi hugged her and went back to bed, “You believe me so much? Aren’t you afraid that what she said is true?”

Ruan Yu arrogantly raised her chin, “My husband, I believe everything he says, besides, would you look at a woman like her?”

Gu Yan Zhi’s eyes softened, “No.”

“Then that’s it.”

Perhaps because she was too tired, she nestled in Gu Yan Zhi’s arms and quickly fell asleep.

——

After Lan Yu Rou left Guangyinji, she couldn’t find a job for several days. It was then that she realized that when Gu Yan Zhi told her to get out, he wasn’t really letting her go.

No one in the industry dared to hire her anymore, her education had become useless.

She was also kicked out by her landlord.

She walked aimlessly on the street, one wrong step after another, she shouldn’t have been so greedy.

Originally, with her major, her future life wouldn’t be rich, but at least her future was bright, but now, it was all gone.

“Do you hate her?” A woman’s voice came from behind.

Lan Yu Rou turned around and looked at the woman in front of her with vigilance, “Who are you?”

“The same as you.” Tang Qingning said, “The same as you, someone who hates Ruan Yu.”

——

After Lan Yu Rou left, Ruan Yu decided to interview service staff herself and posted a recruitment notice at the door.

The store was busy, so they could manage for now and could slowly recruit.

Mu Luoxi didn’t know what had happened, after listening to Ji Sheng tell her the whole story, Mu Luoxi was so angry that she gritted her teeth, “It’s really hard to judge people by their appearance, she’s so young but she’s so scheming.”

But luckily, she left and the store could still manage, Ji Sheng, as a pampered young lady, didn’t have any airs, she worked hard and never made any mistakes.

At noon, a man with an unhappy expression walked into the store, looked around, Mu Luoxi asked, “Sir, do you need anything?”

“I’m looking for Ji Sheng.” The man’s voice was a little cold, he didn’t seem very friendly.

Mu Luoxi was a little worried that Ji Sheng had offended someone outside, she tentatively asked, “Are you a friend of Ji Sheng’s?”

The man gave a faint hum and didn’t speak again.

Ji Sheng just came out of the bathroom and saw the man, she turned around and ran, but the man stopped her coldly, “Come here.”

Ji Sheng turned back reluctantly and slowly walked towards the man, “Nan Yi, why are you here?”

Seeing that they knew each other, Mu Luoxi was just sleepy, so she went back to the rest room.

The man reached out and poked her forehead, “You’ve learned to run away from home?”

“That’s not…” Ji Sheng didn’t finish her sentence, but they both knew what it was about.

“What’s not? Isn’t it because you’re going to marry me?” The man sneered, “Since you were little, I’ve given you everything you wanted, marrying me is a loss for you?”

Ji Sheng heard the helplessness in the man’s voice, she lowered her head and looked at her toes, “It’s not… I haven’t made up my mind.”

She didn’t understand what kind of feelings she had for Nan Yi, they were childhood sweethearts, she had always resisted him, until later she found that she didn’t dislike him at all, her heart was in turmoil, she needed to calm down.

“If you don’t want to marry me, just tell me, I can’t tie you up and take you home, you even ran away from home, what if something happened?” The man sighed softly.

Ji Sheng knew she was wrong, her voice became weak, “My brother is here, it’s okay.”
