Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Jinyuan’s unwillingness to back down made Lian Fangcheng feel a little troubled. He did not want to fall out with the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company since it would not do the Lian family any good.
Although the Lian family had the backing of the Blue Sea Villa, the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company was the largest trading company in the Tongxuan Realm. The Lian family relied on the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company in many places. Once they fell out with the Heavenly Treasure Trading
Company, just the source of the herbs would be greatly affected.
Unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to sever ties with the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company.
“Young Master Gu, why don’t we do this? Once this girl leaves the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company, then you will no longer protect her. She will be at our Lian family’s mercy. How about that?”
Lian Fangcheng’s proposal was indeed quite reasonable. It was a win-win for the Lian family and the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company, but it was extremely disadvantageous to Xue Fanxin.
Xue Fanxin smiled coldly. She looked at Gu Jinyuan and said meaningfully, “Gu Jinyuan, do you feel that your skin is itchy and you want me to inject more needles into you?”
!!
Gu Jinyuan had always felt that the voice of this woman, who was as beautiful as a G.o.ddess, was a little familiar. It was only when he heard her call him by his full name and what she said that he came to a realization.
“You… you are…”
“I’m Fanjiu. I just became a little prettier. Can’t you recognize me?” Xue Fanxin quickly interrupted Gu Jinyuan before he revealed her true ident.i.ty and randomly gave herself a fake name.
As for why she named herself Fanjiu, she didn’t know. Anyway, she had thought of the word ‘Jiu’ at that time.
Gu Jinyuan was a smart guy and understood her hint. After learning her ident.i.ty, his att.i.tude immediately became much more easygoing, as if he was talking to a good friend. “So it’s you. You’re different after becoming prettier. I couldn’t even recognize you. Why did you suddenly come here?”
“I’s a long story! Gu Jinyuan, I was bullied like this in your territory today. How will you deal with it? Forget it, I won’t make things difficult for you either. After all, the Lian family has the backing of the Blue Sea Villa. Why don’t we settle it according to the Lian family’s proposal just now? As long as I
leave the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company—”
Before Xue Fanxin could finish, Gu Jinyuan stroked her head and said gently, “Silly girl, it’s just the Lian family. I don’t care about them. I didn’t recognize you before, but now that I do, I naturally won’t let anyone touch you.”
“You are loyal enough. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely think of a way to compensate you for the losses that this matter has caused the Heavenly Treasures Trading Company.”
“There’s no need to be so polite between us.”
“Of course, I won’t be polite to you. I heard that the number one restaurant in the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company has a lot of delicious food. Furthermore, it’s famous far and wide. Today, you’re treating me. I’m going to empty your wallet.”
“No problem. As long as you’re happy, we can eat as many meals as you want.”
Everyone could tell that Gu Jinyuan and Xue Fanxin had known each other for a long time and were on very good terms.
Lian Fangcheng suddenly had a bad feeling. As for Lian Bingmeng, she was so jealous that she was about to burst into flames. Especially when she saw Gu Jinyuan’s gentle and doting expression towards Xue Fanxin, she really wanted to rush up and tear that girl apart.
She was the eldest daughter of the Lian family. How could she not compare to a little girl?
After Gu Jinyuan and Xue Fanxin chatted, his heart was already incomparably clear. No matter what, he was definitely on Xue Fanxin’s side. He looked at Lian Fangcheng with a warning gaze and said leisurely, “Young Master Lian, everyone here knows very clearly who is in the wrong today. If your Lian
family insists on going against my Heavenly Treasure Trading Company, then I will definitely accompany you to the end.”
“If the Lian family wants to cause trouble for me, feel free to come. You will be responsible for the consequences,” Xue Fanxin pretended to say ruthlessly.
Lian Fangcheng could not guess Xue Fanxin’s ident.i.ty, but from how familiar she was with Gu Jinyuan, he could tell that her ident.i.ty was not simple. If he offended such a person, she would probably cause great trouble for the Lian family.
“Since you are Young Master Gu’s friend and today’s matter is really my sister’s fault, then I’l apologize to you here. I hope you can forgive us.” Lian Fangcheng was a person who knew how to judge the situation and avoid trouble. When he found out that Xue Fanxin and Gu Jinyuan had an extraordinary
relationship, he immediately changed his strategy.
Lian Bingmeng was enraged. “Big Brother, what are you doing? You clearly—”
“shut up.”
“Brother—”
“shut up and go back home to reflect on yourself.”
“You… Fanjiu, right? Just you wait.” Although Lian Bingmeng was scared of her brother, she was indignant in her heart. So, she left after saying some ruthless words.
She had lost so much face today; how could she be satisfied?
She did not believe that with her status as the Lian family’s legitimate daughter, she could not win against a brat of unknown origin..
