The Consequence of Provoking a Crazy Beauty [GL]

Chapter 103

If she refused, she might lose everything.

Duan Jiayang clenched her hands, rubbing her fingers until they hurt. "Jiayang?" Duan Litian frowned. "Why aren't you speaking?"

Duan Jiayang whispered, "Gu Siyu... It's been a while, and I don't remember clearly. I saw her that day, and I only remember she was with someone."

"With whom?" Huo Junxian asked.

Duan Jiayang hesitated, torn between revealing and not revealing.

Her father often said that people in business should not involve too many emotions, especially among friends. There was no absolute friendship beneath money.

She didn't consider Gu Siyu a friend and didn't appreciate her carefree attitude. She found her unreliable and couldn't understand why He Xiao liked her. Each time she used Gu Siyu, she felt justified, obtaining several projects from Huo Junxian.

But truth to be told... that day at the airport when she saw Gu Siyu, with red eyes and a hoarse voice, that wild nature seemed broken.

Really... Sometimes Duan Jiayang thought about the days when she ran away from home, borrowing money everywhere, ignored by so-called friends who wouldn't even buy her a meal. It was Gu Siyu who lent her a hundred thousand yuan.

Duan Jiayang felt conflicted and distressed.

"Can I think about it?" She licks her lips, regretting seeing Gu Siyu at the airport that day. Even if she saw it, why did she have to care about where Gu Siyu was going?

This kind of thing requires seizing the opportunity. There is no time for her to think. The gaze of the three people opposite is oppressively strong. Huo Junxian's gaze sticks tightly to her without moving. Since Gu Siyu left, mentioning her in the circle will evoke fear. The city is almost turned upside down by her. They say she has turned dark, gone completely crazy.

Duan Jiayang shivers, straightening up with goosebumps. She repeats, "Can I?"

"No," Huo Junxian sighs softly, "Jiayang, I'm really anxious."

Huo Junxian never shows any signs of anger or frustration, just lightly tapping her fingers on the sofa cover. Duan Litian sits on a single sofa on the side, holding a teacup, his expression cold. He somewhat resents his daughter for not becoming stronger.

And the person she dislikes the most, Lin Ke, sits on the back rattan chair. Holding a morning newspaper, she has been pretending to be a diligent student since early morning, but her eyes keep glancing towards Duan Jiayang, with raised eyebrows and a somewhat disdainful look, as if scorning her.

"Jiayang, if you confess, at most, you'll be betraying a friend. But in reality, you're just trying to match Miss Huo with someone. When they reconcile, they should thank you. If you don't speak up and ruin the relationship between Miss Huo and Miss Gu, Miss Huo might be very upset." Lin Ke gives her advice with a seemingly good intention.

To Duan Jiayang's ears, it sounds more like telling her not to be ungrateful.

Duan Litian glances at the "gift" sent by Huo Junxian, a project collaboration between the two companies, and says, "Your sister is right. Today, Junxian has come with sincerity to discuss the planning of the new project with us. Don't let me down..."

Duan Jiayang bites her lip, closes her eyes, and makes up her mind.

"Okay, I'll talk." She bites her lip and glares fiercely at Lin Ke, who shakes the newspaper in her hand.

Duan Jiayang suddenly raises her hand, pointing at Lin Ke, "Sister Huo, it's her. I saw Gu Siyu talking to Lin Ke that day. It wasn't just me who came back from the airport that day, Lin Ke was also there. You can check. Oh, at that banquet, Lin Ke specifically talked to Gu Siyu. They must have discussed this matter. Lin Ke is helping Gu Siyu."
