CHAPTER 80: PERSONA SHATTERED

Gu Yuan had only ever seen anything as speechless as this on Chi Yu.

At this moment, Yu Rujin was being particularly cordial, explaining to her over the phone, "My grandson said that this matter must be pursued to the end with the input method."

"..." That’s unnecessary.

Yu Rujin continued, "Miss Gu, as I mentioned earlier, if he harasses you or says anything that makes you uncomfortable, feel free to delete and block him."

"But... this time, I have to say something nice for him in front of you. This is a misunderstanding. Miss Gu, would you consider adding him back on WeChat? At least give him another chance."

"If something like this happens again, whether it’s a misunderstanding or not, I promise not to meddle in this matter again. He deserves what he gets."

After hearing Yu Rujin’s words—

Gu Yuan: "..."

The style of the Quan Family Matriarch is really...

She still remembered the grand auction at the public sale, where the Quan Family Matriarch appeared solemn and dignified, able to spend a fortune with a serious demeanor.

This was originally the image of the Quan Family Matriarch in Gu Yuan’s mind.

At this moment, that image was shattered, as if her persona had collapsed.

She was just a nagging old lady!

"Miss Gu, are you still on the phone?" Yu Rujin’s voice inquired from the receiver.

Gu Yuan replied, "I’m listening."

She remained silent, not expressing her stance, leaving Yu Rujin anxiously waiting.

Sly businessmen often want to see some sincerity, but in front of Yu Rujin, Gu Yuan didn’t need her sincerity. She hoped this absurd ’matchmaking’ would end here, but Yu Rujin’s attitude was very delicate.

The words of refusal were on the tip of her tongue when Yu Rujin suddenly threw a huge interest at her: "I heard Miss Gu is vying for a plot of land in Nansha?"

Gu Yuan responded, "I have that intention."

The barren land in Nansha had become a hot commodity, and the Gu Family had plans to quickly acquire it, aiming to take it all and become the new landlord of Nansha.

Taking it all was just a plan; acquiring a piece was feasible, but securing it all was still uncertain.

Yu Rujin said, "I’ve thought it through and feel my grandson really embarrassed himself. I feel very sorry for causing Miss Gu a psychological impact, so I’m planning to connect you with the Nansha Landlord as compensation. What do you think?"

Hearing this—

Gu Yuan raised her eyebrows high, her expression undeniably astonished.

If someone else said this, Gu Yuan wouldn’t even bat an eye.

Who would have such capability?!

But the Quan Family did.

With such a significant benefit, the money-driven Gu Yuan wouldn’t refuse. Her speech carried a hint of laughter, unlike her earlier aloof tone, as she replied, "Thank you very much."

Yu Rujin: "You’re welcome, don’t mention it. We might become family in the future, and family shouldn’t be shy with each other."

Gu Yuan didn’t say anything more, just accompanied the conversation with a couple of light laughs, and then ended the call.

Old hands are indeed old hands, see how adept at dealing with people they are! They know exactly what she needs and offer it to her.

She opened WeChat.

It was still the request from "Die For Love" to add as a friend. Gu Yuan clicked agree, then left her phone aside.

...

In Ancient Water Village.

This morning, when Li Yan was found in the warehouse, she was entirely dejected and silent. If it weren’t for her exceptionally pale face, everyone would have thought nothing happened to her.

The program crew had been on edge from last night until this morning, and fortunately, Li Yan was finally found.

"Boohoo..."
