Chapter 17 : Who's Involved?

• This act really infuriated Zhang Fenghong.
• Just as she was about to say something, she was stopped by Su Miaomiao.
• Su Miaomiao was obviously much smarter than Zhang Fenghong, and she immediately responded, "Alright, but you still need to pay a deposit first. You have one week to come up with 200,000 yuan. It shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"
• Jiang Yue frowned, but Su Miaomiao spoke up, "200,000 yuan is the bottom line."
• The decision was final, with no room for negotiation.
• "Fine," she replied softly, her voice filled with despair.
• After Su Miaomiao and her daughter made their promise, they left, leaving Jiang Yue sitting on the sofa with an unpleasant expression.
• -----
• At night.
• Jiang Yue brought a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Gu Jinyan.
• Ever since she married into the family, she had taken care of Gu Jinyan's daily life.
• Having been by Gu Jinyan's side for a long time, she had become familiar with his every move.
• Gu Jinyan's attitude towards her was far from good.
• Especially after she became pregnant.
• Gu Jinyan's face grew colder day by day.
• Today, she was even more cautious than usual, thinking about how to ask for money. She wanted to use the excuse of having an abortion to get the 200,000 yuan.
• Su Miaomiao was ruthless, and she didn't know what she would do if she couldn't get the money.
• She was most afraid that this matter would affect her mother.
• Thinking of this, her breathing became rapid.
• Gu Jinyan glanced at Jiang Yue and saw that she had something to say. He put down his spoon, giving her the opportunity to speak.
• He squinted his eyes, wanting to see what this woman had to say.
• Unexpectedly, before Jiang Yue could speak, someone else spoke first.
• "Sorry to interrupt your meal." Gu Pingyi walked over to them with an arrogant attitude, sitting directly next to Jiang Yue without any hint of apology.
• Gu Jinyan's face turned cold, and he said in a harsh tone, "What are you doing here? This is not where you should be!"
• Jiang Yue, who was close to Gu Pingyi, felt uneasy and instinctively moved to the side.
• She didn't want to have any connection with Gu Pingyi.
• However, Gu Pingyi's purpose for coming was Jiang Yue.
• He leaned closer to Jiang Yue, grabbed a strand of her hair, and twirled it around his fingers, saying softly, "Why can't I be here? This is also the Gu family. Sister-in-law, don't you think I'm right?"
• His gaze fell directly on Jiang Yue's fair neck, as if he was attracted by her snow-white skin.
• His attitude was extremely ambiguous.
• Jiang Yue felt that something was wrong all over her body.
• She wanted to move away, but he held her shoulders and continued teasing, "What's wrong, sister-in-law? Can't handle it when I get closer? How did you manage to hold back from making a sound before?"
• "You're talking nonsense!"
• Jiang Yue was both ashamed and angry.
• This person was insinuating that she had a relationship with him!
• But other than the incident last time, she had no interaction with Gu Pingyi at all!
• Gu Jinyan's gaze fixed on Jiang Yue, and he also understood Gu Pingyi's purpose for coming.
• His handsome face grew even colder, and he said in a cold voice, "Get out!"
• Seeing Gu Jinyan's anger, Gu Pingyi's smile became even more pronounced.
• He stood up and straightened his posture, but he didn't stop talking.
• "Don't be in such a hurry. Why don't you let me finish what I have to say?" He sneered, "Gu Jinyan, how does it feel to sleep with the women I've slept with? I thought you didn't have any interest in women. Now you've been deceived by a promiscuous woman."
• As soon as he heard these words, Jiang Yue was filled with indignation and immediately retorted, "Gu Pingyi, you're talking nonsense!"
• "I've gathered enough information, so you don't have to pretend anymore. Now come with me and you won't have to serve this cripple anymore!"
• Ever since Gu Pingyi overheard Jiang Yue's conversation with those two women, he had made up his mind. He couldn't let this child stay, regardless of whether it was Gu Jinyan's or not.
• He couldn't allow any accidents on his path to inheriting the Gu family's business.
• So the first step was to make Gu Jinyan suspicious of Jiang Yue, and it would be even better if he was angry enough to get rid of this illegitimate child!
• "I didn't, I didn't! You're lying!"
• Jiang Yue panicked and explained desperately, afraid that Gu Jinyan would misunderstand her.
• She looked at Gu Jinyan and shook her head vigorously, "It's not true, don't listen to him. I didn't ask for any information."
• "Why bother, sister-in-law? You're carrying my child. Why pretend?"
