Shen Wan'er is Here

As soon as these words were spoken.

Thump!

Thump!

Several people raised their heads. Bai Qionglan, the girl who had been shouting the loudest at the beginning, clutched her chest and stared blankly at Gu Yan.

Good... good child.

These words had never been said to her before.

The faces of the group turned slightly red, and they all lowered their heads, appearing quite embarrassed.

Seeing this, Gu Yan sighed inwardly.

Actually, there wasn't anything terribly wrong with them; they just lacked proper guidance.

If the original plot had continued, most of their fates would have been quite tragic.

Leng Ling'er's friends included some from prominent families.

It was only due to a lack of care that the current situation had arisen.

"Alright, I'll call my people to send you home."

"Remember, don't skip classes to go sing karaoke anymore."

Gu Yan's expression softened slightly, and his tone wasn't as stern as before.

"Mm, thank you..."

"Thank you, Ling'er's sister's brother-in-law."

"Me! Me, me!!"

Bai Qionglan raised her hand, her face slightly flushed, but her eyes looked at Gu Yan with great anticipation: "If I get into university, can Ling'er's sister's brother-in-law grant me one wish?"

Ah, still just a kid after all.

Gu Yan nodded and said with a smile, "If it's about wanting me to be your boyfriend or something, don't even think about it."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qionglan seemed rather disappointed. She puffed out her cheeks and said, "Oh."

You actually wanted that!

Gu Yan's mouth twitched.

Wait, how precocious are you girls?

When I was in high school, I never even got a taste of what love was like!

"Qionglan! I told you not to set your sights on my brother-in-law!"

Leng Ling'er's protective tone also amused Gu Yan.

"Alright, alright. Ling'er, you go back with Old Gao first. I need to deal with the aftermath here."

Gu Yan patted Leng Ling'er's head and said with a light chuckle.

"Ah, you're not coming back with me?"

When Leng Ling'er heard that Gu Yan wasn't leaving with her, she immediately became a bit worried.

"That's right, don't worry. I'll take care of things here. You all should go back to school and do what you need to do."

"Besides, I actually have some things to discuss with this guy... and..."

As Gu Yan was speaking, he looked towards the person who had just pushed open the door and walked in...

"Gu Yan! What have you done to my brother?!!"

Shen Wan'er had been looking for Gu Yan all day, searching from the company to his home. Just when she was about to give up and go home disappointed, she saw Gu Yan's car in front of this KTV.

Based on the panicked receptionist's response, she walked into this private room and indeed found Gu Yan.

However, she also saw her brother sprawled on the ground.

In an instant, she let out a sharp, piercing cry.

Looking at this tall, beautiful woman,

Leng Ling'er instinctively gripped Gu Yan's hand tightly, her eyes becoming very vigilant: "Who are you?"

"And who are you?"

Shen Wan'er's chest heaved up and down with anger. She looked around the room and saw that it was full of high school girls.

But her brother was lying in the corner, barely recognizable. Finally, she fixed her gaze on Gu Yan.

She didn't know what had happened.

But she believed that all of this was Gu Yan's fault!

"Gu Yan! Well, well! You block me, and it turns out you've changed your taste?"

"I never thought that you..."

Before Shen Wan'er could finish speaking,

She noticed that Gu Yan was looking at her with an annoyed and cold gaze: "You're too noisy. Shut up."

These cold words suddenly left Shen Wan'er stunned.

He... he scolded me?

How could this be? How could Gu Yan treat me like this?

Shen Wan'er felt as if the world had changed overnight.

Gu Yan didn't bother to deal with this character who would later play a key role in his plans.

Instead, he turned to Leng Ling'er and the others, saying gently, "You all should go now. I still have some things to take care of here."

Seeing the strange atmosphere, Bai Qionglan also knew that she shouldn't stay here any longer.

So they all nodded and headed towards the exit.

"Sister Ling'er, let's go."

"Sister Ling'er, we should leave now."

They urged Leng Ling'er to leave first.

But Leng Ling'er didn't want to go, because as she looked at the woman in front of her, she seemed to have guessed her identity.

What if... what if she seduced Gu Yan and made him fall in love with her again?

Before this, Leng Ling'er had actually hoped that Gu Yan would separate from her sister just like this.

But for some reason, now she didn't want that anymore.

"Brother-in-law..."

Leng Ling'er looked at Gu Yan with worried eyes.

He shook his head and said with a light laugh, "Wait for me to come back."

Hearing this simple answer, Leng Ling'er felt relieved for some reason.

She nodded, then glared fiercely at Shen Wan'er, full of hostility just like when she first met Gu Yan.

Then she let go of Gu Yan's hand and left the room with the others.

With that,

Only Gu Yan, Shen Wan'er, and Shen Tian, who was sprawled on the ground, remained in the room.

"She called you brother-in-law? Who did you marry? Who is that woman?"

Shen Wan'er had heard Leng Ling'er's form of address to Gu Yan earlier.

For some reason, a surge of inexplicable anger welled up in her heart.

It felt as if something that should have been hers had been snatched away by someone else.

However, faced with these questions,

Gu Yan's reaction left Shen Wan'er stunned.

As soon as Leng Ling'er and the others left the room,

Gu Yan's entire demeanor and expression became extremely cold and gloomy.

For Qing Qiu's sake, and for my own,

Shen Wan'er must be used.

To avoid various death scenarios in the future,

I must...

do this.

Gu Yan walked over to the sofa and sat down, leaning back entirely. He looked at Shen Wan'er with eyes that seemed to disregard everything.

He said in a flat tone, "You've come at just the right time. So, let's talk."

Shen Wan'er's face twitched. She hadn't expected Gu Yan to speak to her in such a tone and with such an expression.

Even her questions had been ignored.

For some reason, his behavior made her usually composed demeanor in front of Gu Yan become extremely agitated.

Shen Wan'er gritted her teeth. She tossed her bag onto the sofa and then sat down on the other side.

Through clenched teeth, she said, "Fine, let's talk!"

Gu Yan! Let's see what you have to say!
