CHAPTER 45: CHAPTER 45: TANG YUXIU, DO YOU TRUST ME?

Gu Yan retorted, while Gu Qin remained unfazed and even looked regretful, "Sir, my cousin always uses this excuse whenever she’s caught. I really don’t know what bad luck my uncle has to have such a daughter who constantly curses him. As her cousin, I feel sorry."

Gu Yan was filled with anger, wishing she could rush over and tear Gu Qin’s mouth apart, but she had no strength, and the situation was not in her favor at all. She was powerless.

"Gu Qin, what have I ever done to offend you that you have to slander me like this?"

"Gu Yan, don’t say anything else. Come back with me, Aunt is still waiting at home."

As Gu Qin spoke, she stepped forward to grab her hand, and Gu Yan instinctively shrank back towards Tang Yuxiu, avoiding her touch.

Gu Yan no longer hid her disgust towards her, "Gu Qin, what’s the point of doing this?"

"Gu Yan, stop making trouble." She said gently, and anyone unaware would genuinely think she was a good sister who cared for her younger sister.

Unfortunately, Gu Yan had already seen her true colors tonight, feeling nauseated just looking at her!

Gu Yan simply ignored them, lifting her head to firmly gaze into Tang Yuxiu’s dark eyes, "Tang Yuxiu, I just have one question, do you believe me?"

Once again, she seriously called his name, asking him, does he trust her?

He didn’t know.

That was his answer.

But he didn’t say it out loud, only gazed intently into her clear eyes, as if he could see into her soul.

He remained silent for a long time, and Gu Qin couldn’t help but show a hint of triumph, though she quickly masked it.

President Liu also had an expression of assured victory.

Gu Yan’s heart gradually sank, she lowered her head and softly spoke, "Then just let me go."

She wasn’t sad, nor did she blame him.

They didn’t know each other well from the beginning, why should she expect him to trust her unconditionally in such a situation?

Tang Yuxiu moved, and just when everyone thought he was going to let Gu Yan go, he lifted his other hand to gently fix her disheveled hair, his touch so tender.

In that moment, Gu Yan’s heart was fiercely struck by something, her eyes grew watery, and she felt an impulse to cry.

She stared at him blankly, not understanding his intentions.

"You..."

Tang Yuxiu’s hand touched her swollen face, and she instinctively flinched from the pain.

Tang Yuxiu’s dark eyes grew deeper and more profound, suddenly turning his head to glare sharply at President Liu and Gu Qin.

"You claim she sold herself for a million?" he asked mildly.

President Liu and Gu Qin nodded.

Tang Yuxiu suddenly sneered, his eyes mocking, "You’re telling me my woman needs to sell herself for a million? Are you joking with me?"

He said, his woman...

Gu Yan was stunned, her rationality shattered to pieces.

Even You Shuyang, who had been silent and invisible all along, couldn’t comprehend the meaning behind Tang Yuxiu’s actions tonight.

President Liu and Gu Qin, however, looked incredulous.

Gu Qin screamed, "Impossible! How could Gu Yan become your woman! She clearly..." She stopped short at the critical moment, but still couldn’t believe it.

She clearly couldn’t even gather a million for surgery expenses, if she was Tang Yuxiu’s woman, how could she not have it!

Given President Liu’s respectful fear towards this man, he must not be a simple character. A million to people like them is merely a check’s worth!

"Clearly what?" Tang Yuxiu asked leisurely.
