"Little sister seems to be quite protective of him."
"Of course, heâs my husband. If I donât protect him, should I protect you instead?"
Gu Tianyu chuckled, "Youâve got guts, daring to sass me while youâre in my hands."
"Naturally," Eleven shrugged nonchalantly, "Thatâs the kind of behavior youâve all been enabling."
Gu Tianyu tossed a stack of photos in front of her, "Have a look for yourself. Youâre still defending him?"
What he found were all the scandals that had ever been associated with Gu Liancheng, including that picture from Nagoya. "Is this kind of man worth it?"
She was already aware, after all. What he had done was nothing but an attempt to deceive. Previously, she had not been angry, and she certainly wouldnât be now. After quickly glancing at the photos, she returned them to their original place, "Itâs not bad, as long as a man comes back, itâs all that matters."
Gu Tianyu squinted at her, assessing, "Is that all you aspire for?"
"Anyway, Iâm with him for his money. As long as he supports me and lets me live a worry-free life, I couldnât care less."
Eleven made her stance very clear. Because no matter how you look at it, Gu Tianyu seemed to be instigating trouble. Allen had said that Gu Tianyu was investigating her and might strike her first.
So, she guessed, was he trying to provoke her jealousy, and align her to his side, to help him deal with Gu Liancheng?
But he got it wrong. Her relationship with Gu Liancheng was nothing like how heâd imagined.
"Really? Little sister, youâre quite different from the rumors. I thought you were indifferent and impartial, and boundlessly loving. Turns out itâs all about the money."
"Hmm, yes." Eleven smiled lightly.
"Money is good to love. You help me, and Iâll give you a lot more."
"Why should I believe you? I currently have everything I want, why would I betray my husband to help you? Weâll see when you become the CEO."
"If I already had the position, why would I need to collaborate with you?"
"Then letâs call it off! Weâll each go our own way."
Eleven got up and walked a few steps, before turning back abruptly to ask, "Thereâs something I donât understand. Why did you take me out for dinner and pretend to be Mandy?"
Gu Tianyu shrugged carelessly, "Just like they didnât know I was married overseas, they donât know now, that Iâm divorced."
"...Youâre divorced?"
"Yeah, I figured we werenât right for each other," Gu Tianyu also stood up, "So, our deal might be better than you think. Youâve been with him for four years and heâs probably bored. Youâll be ditched sooner or later anyway, so why not seize this opportunity for something new?"
This guy really is...
As far as she knew, he hadnât been married for long, and now heâs divorced? He knew it wouldnât go down well with his family, so he brought her along!
"Well... let me think about it. I gotta go now." Eleven feigned intrigue, as if she would seriously consider it. She smiled and left the place.
Anyway, itâs better to just leave first.
As soon as she left the clubhouse, she saw Su Bai getting out of the car. Seeing him made her feel at ease.
"Are you okay?"
"Iâm fine. Just had dinner, everythingâs good. Oh, Big White, letâs go get my phone and bag back first."
...
"I wonât go to the hospital. Big White, take me to Feiâs home."
After she gave instructions to Su Bai, she continued her phone call with Gu Liancheng.
"Donât worry, after all these years of your favor, I wonât sell you out. But to get away, I said I would think about his offer. I mean, I didnât say I would definitely agree."
