Jiang Jingzhi kept retreating until she had nowhere left to go.
“Take care of yourself.” After saying this, Qu Muqing went upstairs to the study to grab something and left.
As for the secrets of the Qu family, hum, they were never truly within the Qu family.
Returning to his private villa, Qu Cheng’an was lost in thought in the courtyard.
Qu Muqing sighed inwardly; this old man must be heartbroken.
“Dad——”
“Muqing, why are you back so early?” Qu Cheng’an looked at his suddenly appearing son in surprise.
Qu Muqing shook the documents in his hand: “I came back to get a document.”
“She——”
“Still not back?” Qu Cheng’an couldn’t help but ask.
“She didn’t come back, so let her have the villa. In the end, she’ll get a share of the inheritance anyway,” Qu Muqing seemed to have a relaxed attitude about it.
Qu Cheng’an could only nod: “Mm, I had someone pack up Wanwan and your things yesterday; I didn’t mind that.”
“Dad——”
“What’s wrong?”
“Do you really want to divorce her?” He was worried that his father would regret it after the divorce.
Qu Cheng’an’s eyes were filled with bitterness: “You know, when I was fifteen, your grandmother betrayed your grandfather like this. Later, they each started their own families, leaving me alone, not knowing who to follow——”
“Later, I took a sum of money from your grandfather and started Qu Corporation by myself.”
“I secretly vowed never to walk the same path as them.”
“As long as you’ve made up your mind, we will support you. You don’t need to worry too much about us now; just enjoy your life,” Qu Muqing said gently.
“My current wish is for your marriage, Muqing. You’re not young anymore; it’s time to settle down.”
“If I meet someone suitable, I’ll consider it.”
As night gradually fell, a few bright stars appeared in the eastern sky. With the twinkling starlight increasing, the earth quietly merged into a warm night.
In the most hidden corner of the capital, a certain undercurrent was quietly infiltrating this bustling city.
“Master, aren’t you being too cautious?”
“What do you know! Fu Ciyu’s eyes are everywhere in the capital. If we startle the snake now, we’ll have no escape route when we want to leave.”
In the darkness, the man’s perfect profile was vaguely enchanting and captivating in the night.
“But you met his woman a few days ago—” Their young master was secretly meeting that guy’s woman, and even got slapped.
“Smack!” A slap landed on the back of his head.
“I was just probing! Do you understand probing?”
“Probing into someone’s woman—”
Hearing the murmurs ahead, he gave another slap: “Shut up!”
“Master, what do you have against him? We’ve been away from A City for half a month already. If we don’t act soon, the old man will get angry.” It was strange; why did they have to come to the capital?
“Against him? It’s not a big grudge. I just lost a fight to him back then.”
Why did he have to say that? How embarrassing!
“Then how do you know he was poisoned?”
“I just happened to check on that woman, Lu Nanzhi, and just found out there’s an antidote.”
“Isn’t it supposed to be without a solution?”
“With me here, how could there be no solution——”
Lu Yu received news about that person and felt relieved, agreeing to meet tonight. He wanted to see who that person was.
Half an hour later.
“You are Lu Yu?” a man in black coldly asked.
Lu Yu nodded, and then he was blindfolded by the man in black.
Through corridors, elevators, basements, or even more hidden places.
At the moment the blindfold was removed, Lu Yu was shocked by the scene before him.
In the dim basement, the walls were covered with countless photos of Fu Ciyu——
Lu Yu could hardly believe his eyes. This man——
“What? He doesn’t want to see?” A deep, cold voice came from behind him.
Lu Yu stiffened and quickly shook his head: “No——”
“Ha——”
“You are Gu Zhi Nian?” Lu Yu cautiously spoke.
The man had a high nose and thin lips like blood, with a hint of a barely visible cold smile at the corners of his mouth.
His cheeks were thin and sunken, faintly tinged with a bluish hue.
“Gu Zhi Nian——”
“For years, no one has called my name——”
The smile on the man’s lips deepened.
“Why are you helping me?” Lu Yu didn’t understand. This man found him and asked him to help break up Fu Ciyu and Qu Wanwan.
However, an answer seemed to form in his mind.
“Helping you? No, I’m just using you.” Gu Zhi Nian gave an indifferent smile.
“You like——”
“Fu Ciyu?” The moment Lu Yu asked this question, he felt the surrounding air instantly turn cold.
Gu Zhi Nian’s eyes turned cold: “Mind your own business. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t.”
Lu Yu was shocked. This man… liked Fu Ciyu!!
This was too shocking!
“This time I came to—”
“Qu Wanwan and he are married?” Gu Zhi Nian’s voice dropped several tones.
Lu Yu was bewildered: “No, they aren’t.”
“They aren’t?”
But his people found out that Fu Ciyu is currently married.
“Go check it out in the next few days. See what’s going on. Contact me if there are any problems.”
“Mm, understood.”
“Also, get rid of that woman around you.”
Hearing this, Lu Yu’s face changed: “Why?”
“She’s an eyesore!” That woman would hinder him.
“No way!”
“You like her? That woman is nowhere near as good as Qu Wanwan. How could you like her?”
Lu Yu was stunned: “You know about this too?”
Gu Zhi Nian smiled meaningfully: “There’s nothing I, Gu Zhi Nian, don’t know.”
“Get rid of her. If you can’t, I’ll send someone over.”
After coming out, Lu Yu was still in a daze. Gu Zhi Nian was a man, and he actually liked Fu Ciyu——
No wonder he kept asking him to deal with Qu Wanwan, to deceive Qu Wanwan. It turned out—
After recovering from her injuries, Qu Wanwan became completely busy.
Every painting in the gallery was painted with her heart. She hoped that one day her paintings would be seen around the world.
As she framed her last painting, she patted her hands contentedly.
Mu Mu sighed: “Sister Wan, your skills are getting better and better.”
“Right? I think so too. Aren’t there too many paintings of Fu Ciyu?”
“Not too many, not too many. Two rows of Fu Ye’s paintings can attract many customers. Fu Ye is our God of Wealth.”
“Excuse me—”
Qu Wanwan and Mu Mu turned around at the same time.
The man’s exquisite features were not as cold as those in Fu Ciyu’s eyes. This man exuded an oppressive aura.
Qu Wanwan politely asked: “Sir, are you here to look at paintings or buy paintings?”
The moment Qu Wanwan turned around, Gu Zhi Nian’s gaze swept over her. She was indeed exquisite. No wonder Fu Ciyu had given his heart to her.
“Sir?” This person was strange.
When Gu Zhi Nian saw the paintings of Fu Ciyu on the wall, his breath hitched. These were the latest photos, and he hadn’t gotten them yet.
“These two rows of paintings—”
“How much?” His voice was hoarse.
Qu Wanwan frowned and looked at him: “I’m sorry, sir, these paintings are not for sale.”
“Make an offer.” Gu Zhi Nian thought everyone loved money.
“I’m sorry, they’re priceless.” Qu Wanwan said coldly.
Gu Zhi Nian’s face changed slightly: “Why?”
“My husband allowed me to paint these to support my work. I’m sorry, the sign clearly says they’re not for sale.”
“You’re married?”
“Yes, the person on the wall is my husband.” Qu Wanwan explained.
Gu Zhi Nian suddenly laughed, a cold, chilling laugh.
