Chapter 358 - Sugar Daddy
Lu Yan turned to Gu Yan. “Miss Gu, should you want to frame me, can’t you at least do it better? Si Nan is a special child. You beat him until he confessed. What is the point? To think you’d take Si Nan’s words as confession, do you think Master Gu Er and Master Liu are also fools?”
Gu Yan glared at Si Nan, “Impossible! He is not a retard!”
Lu Yan smiled sadly, “Master Liu, you can get someone to check with the orphanage to see if what I’m saying is true. If I have lied, I pray to God that I’d be hit by a car.”
Lu Yan used the calmest tone to say the scariest things.
The three of us stayed back to watch the show.
Gu Yan quickly grabbed Master Gu Er’s arm. “Uncle, you have to believe me. When the man was brought to us, he wasn’t like this! Ye Qian, that’s right! Ye Qian, you have to testify for me! Quickly! Say something! Tell Master Gu Er that this man is only pretending to be a retard!”
Gu Yan must be desperate, or something had put a spell on her. Why else would she speak so incoherently and illogically? Or she thought everyone was as stupid as she was.
Master Gu Er took a glance at Ye Qian.
Ye Qian took a step back and cowed. Ye Qian’s ability was to show weakness at the right time. Master Gu Er understood what Ye Qian meant from her action.
Before Ye Quan said anything, Master Gu Er interrupted. “It’s alright. You’re the young miss of the Gu Family and my adopted daughter. Your job is not to entertain other’s fancy.”
Gu Yan couldn’t believe her ears. She shook his arms anxiously and kept looking for support. “Uncle, Lu Yan has found this person to deceive you! It’s true!”
Lu Yan’s eyes were already filled with tears. “Master Gu Er, thank you!”
Master Gu Er turned back to Lu Yan. “Miss Lu, we’re sorry to have come to disturb you. I wanted to thank you in person. If this has offended you, I apologize.”
Lu Yan revealed a sad smile. “Master Gu Er, there’s no need for that. Lu Yan never wanted to get involved with Master Gu Er. It was my friend who helped me get the assistant job for Master Liu. I am an unimportant person, and I only want to live a normal life, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have self-respect. I’m sorry, but I cannot forgive Miss Gu for trying to ruin my reputation!”
Lu Yan’s words were reasonable and righteous.
Gu Yan exploded. “You shameless bitch! Do you think you can get away with this? Do you think we can’t see through your trick? Let me tell you. You are not going to find a sugar daddy in my second uncle!”
We finally got it. Gu Yan thought Lu Yan wanted to be Master Gu Er’s mistress.
It had to be said that Gu Yan was not ordinarily stupid.
It was impressive that Ye Qian could tolerate her for so many years. Then again, Ye Qian was also lucky because Gu Yan’s incompetence had highlighted how capable Ye Qian was. Gu Yan was instrumental to Ye Qian’s rise to the top.
Lu Yan was shocked and angered by Gu Yan’s rudeness.
Lu Yan tore off the collar of her hospital gown to reveal her snow-white shoulder.
There was a gauze bandage on her shoulder.
“Lu Yan!” Ye Qian tried to stop Lu Yan.
Lu Yan pushed her away and swiftly tore off the gauze bandage. There was a hideous bullet hole on her shoulder. Thanks to all the shoving and pushing from Gu Yan, Lu Yan’s wound had ruptured.
