Chapter 40: What Do I Care About?

  "Gu Yan!" Xiao Qian couldn't bear it anymore, interrupting Gu Yan, his eyes seemed to be burning with flames as he came up and pinched Gu Yan's neck.

  He shouldn't have bothered talking to her, what's the point of wasting words on a slick-talking woman like that? Anyway, after a few sentences, the conversation would only get more unpleasant, why did he need to hear her explanation?

  Her hand was tightly grasped by him, stuck to the velvet sofa, one foot stepped on the fluffy woolen carpet, supporting her entire body, the purple silk pajamas were grabbed and wrinkled, as if petal by petal, scattered all over her.

  "That was Qing Huan's lifelong career, she wanted something very simple, just to paint, always painting, never putting down her brush for this lifetime. But you so easily put a chamber pot on her head, what kind of reputation is that? This will be a shadow that follows her for the rest of her life, later on, no matter when, no matter who remembers it, they can dig it up again to humiliate her once more."

  Xiao Qian's anger grew with each passing moment, before his eyes was Lu Qinghuan's helpless crying, Lu Qinghuan's sorrowful worry, and her small isolated figure.

  She doesn't want fame or wealth, she just wants to spend her life painting.

  Gu Yan indeed has a good strategy, striking at the seven-inch weak point of each person, everyone has their own weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

  In business, Gu Yu's means have always been so brilliant, but unexpectedly, Gu Yu's talent has never been limited to just the business world.

  She used the same cleverness, ruthlessness and thoroughness in dealing with other women.

  That's not someone else, it's Lu Qinghuan...

  That was everything he once cherished.

  Gu Xiangming clearly knew that he and Lu Qinghuan had a past, yet he still chose to be ruthless.

  Lu Qinghuan was very careful after he came back, didn't dare to do anything, didn't dare to get close, and never treated Gu Yalan like that before.

  But how did Gu Yu repay her?

  She ruined Lu Qinghuan's lifelong dreams and career!

  Her eyes, slightly closed, trembled, without makeup, her eye sockets were somewhat blue, and her eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings. Above her head was a huge crystal chandelier, casting a shadow on her face, illuminating her pale skin, and casting a faint shadow on her jade-like cheeks. Her petal-like lips were quietly parted, and her pearly teeth trembled together. Her small tongue seemed to be a timid little person who didn't dare to come out, only showing a hint of shadow.

  Xiao Qian said, "She never thought of coming to ruin your position as the young mistress of the Xiao family. Why must you go to such great lengths? Do you know that your small actions can harm a person for their entire life? Or do you simply not care? Other people's careers, ideals, no matter what they are, you don't care about any of them?"

  She bit her lip tightly, but her voice couldn't help trembling, like a bird that had been stifled and was now gasping for air, with a hint of fear, "I don't care."

  Why should she care?

  Why should she care about Lu Qinghuan? What kind of person is he that requires her concern?

  If everyone cared a little bit about her, she would have been exhausted long ago.

  "I don't care at all!" she said with a quivering voice.

  Xiao Qian was so angry that he wished he could strangle this vicious woman to death.
