Chapter 98: No wonder your wife wants to divorce you; you're both scum and a coward!

Gu He'an listened to her defense, then looked at the expressionless Lu Qianchuan. He walked away from Lin Yan's side, wanting to keep his distance from her, narrowing his cold eyes, still suspicious.

Meeting his skeptical gaze, Lu Qianchuan sneered, "You don't even trust your own wife; what are you looking at me for?"

"You," Gu He'an found it grating to hear Lin Yan referred to as his wife now, "She won't be for much longer!"

"Then congratulations on your divorce," Lu Qianchuan mocked.

Gu He'an was choked up, his face livid, and he pressed again, "Lu Qianchuan, do you dare to do it but not admit it? Lin Yan, do you really have no connection with her? In the past, I saw her contact you several times; were those all fake?"

Lu Qianchuan looked at him nonchalantly, "We aren't close, don't come trying to pull a scam. I actually thought highly of you; which competition wasn't a fair and square business one? You lost yourself and came to me to shirk responsibility. No wonder your wife wants to divorce you; you're both scum and a coward!"

"..." Gu He'an was so angry he ground his teeth, forced to swallow the blood back into his stomach.

Based on his understanding of Lu Qianchuan, if Lin Yan had been arranged by him, he would likely be mocking him even more triumphantly.

But this made him even more furious.

If it wasn't for their scheming, why would he have ended up like this?

Admitting that he was at fault was a very difficult thing to accept psychologically, but pushing the blame onto others made it easier to accept.

But now that the facts were laid out before him, Gu He'an turned and left.

Lin Yan took two steps in pursuit, "Mr. Gu, when are we going to get the divorce?"

Gu He'an's footsteps faltered, feeling as if a sword had stabbed him. He glared fiercely at Lin Yan, "What's the rush? Want to divorce me and get rid of me? Heh, then just wait!"

But Lin Yan was not flustered at all, saying, "Mr. Gu, the doctor treating you said that this old injury to your leg might follow you for the rest of your life. As it stands, only Miss Qin has a way to treat you. Do you want your condition to get worse and worse until you become a cripple?"

"I don't actually care when you divorce me, but are you going to try to win Miss Qin back while maintaining a married status? Miss Qin will definitely be angry and won't even look at you."

"..." Gu He'an's back stiffened. He took several deep breaths to suppress the urge to kill her.

He turned his head and glanced at Lin Yan, "Are you threatening me?"

"How could I? We've known each other for a while, and I'm very grateful that you helped me back then, which is why I'm considering things for you like this." Lin Yan's tone was earnest, as if she were still the gentle and submissive woman from before, seemingly about to lean into his arms and act spoiled the next second.

"Divorce, of course we will divorce, but things you shouldn't have taken from me, you must return!"

After Gu He'an finished speaking, he looked at Lu Qianchuan again and sneered, "Although I am no longer the President, I still own shares in the Gu Corporation. Lu Qianchuan, since you've become the President of the Gu Corporation, you're working for me. You'd better perform well!"

"..." Lu Qianchuan mocked, "Your imagination is truly rich."

He certainly knew how to comfort himself.

Gu He'an also let out a cold snort and turned again, striding away.

Lin Yan looked at his back. Things that shouldn't have been taken.

Heh, that was something you agreed to back then!

Now you say it shouldn't have been taken. Gu He'an, you really are someone to be looked down upon!

Seeing that Lu Qianchuan was also about to leave, she spoke up, "Mr. Lu, congratulations on becoming a director of the Gu Corporation."

Lu Qianchuan looked at her. Thinking of her control over Gu He'an, she was indeed quite capable, but if she and Gu He'an divorced and Gu He'an went to harass Qin Yan, that wouldn't be a good thing for him.

"Congratulations to you too for obtaining the Gu Corporation shares."

Lin Yan smiled lightly, "I will divorce Gu He'an and then resign from the Gu Corporation. I wonder if the Lu Corporation could give me a chance to interview?"

"With your ability, you should be able to better display your talents at the Gu Corporation. You could completely be a Marketing Minister, doing marketing, but if you enter the Lu Corporation, you'll be a newcomer. I'm afraid the Lu Corporation would be doing you a disservice."

Lin Yan felt sweet inside. He wanted to use his status as a board member to promote her, but entering the Lu Corporation, she would likely have an internship period. Even if she quickly became a full-time employee, wanting to rise to the position of Minister would take at least a year.

Was Lu Qianchuan reluctant to let her suffer?

"If Mr. Lu hopes I take that position to help you, I am willing."

Lu Qianchuan nodded, "The Personnel Department's appointment will be sent to you tomorrow."

"To celebrate, can we have a meal together?" Lin Yan took the initiative.

Although Lu Qianchuan sent her flowers every day, he was relatively reserved, so she could only take the initiative.

"Let's talk after you're divorced." Lu Qianchuan did not refuse directly.

Lin Yan thought about her married status and felt a bit disgusted. She thought to herself that this Mr. Lu was truly as the rumors said—upright and noble. Although he had secretly loved her for several years, he had never done anything inappropriate. Only after hearing her say with her own mouth that she was single did he start sending flowers and food every day.

Restrained and subtle, yet his aura was overbearing and strong. It was truly a contrast!

Lu Qianchuan didn't know what others thought of him. He left the Gu Corporation to establish a department at the Lu Corporation to interface with the Gu Corporation.

Not resorting to means to clean up the Gu Corporation, but cooperating with it, could save him a lot of trouble.

His phone rang; it was Zhuang Sitian calling him.

Qin Yan was treating a friend to dinner, a male friend, and she had asked her to come along, asking if he wanted to join.

"A male friend? Last name Du?"

"Seems so. How did you know? Did Qin Yan tell you? By the way, how is your relationship now?"

Lu Qianchuan rubbed his temples. In the current situation, this arranged marriage was more of a threat than the former fiancé.

"Give me the address. Qin Yan didn't invite me, and besides, we are in a hidden marriage. Send me the address where you are eating."

Qin Yan sent Shi Laoshi back to the school, only to be questioned by him about her work progress. Being stared at by his cold eyes made her scalp tingle, and she protested slightly.

Writing three opening reports in one week—the time was too tight.

"If you put your heart into it, would you be unable to write them?" Shi Laoshi said just one sentence.

"..."

Reasoning didn't work, and she couldn't compete with him, so Qin Yan could only admit defeat.

Du Linze, who had rushed over, heard that Qin Yan had to write a thesis and immediately fawned over Shi Laoshi, saying he could be Qin Yan's assistant and also prepare for his graduation thesis along the way.

Qin Yan glanced at him. He was bored and looking for abuse.

Shi Laoshi nodded, letting Du Linze help while also supervising her.

"..." When Qin Yan walked out of the teacher's building, her face was still dark.

"I will help you, Qin Yan." Du Linze looked at her with a serious face.

"Let's go. This matter isn't as simple as you think."

She walked toward the library. For an opening report, if you have a theme and research around that theme, the process isn't actually difficult.

What's difficult is the very beginning, finding a research direction from a pile of data.

Shi Laoshi had been a doctor for many years and had quite a bit of medical case data, but much of it was unorganized, and he hadn't written summaries. Later, he became a teacher, leading research teams and teaching research data, which were also classified but hadn't been organized into theoretical and standardized conclusions.

Urging her to write three reports was forcing her to summarize, utilizing his materials, and the things derived from them could become hers.

He was acting as a stepping stone for her, pushing her to walk the path of scientific research. If she had things to do, she wouldn't be trapped in love and lose herself.

Although Qin Yan complained about the heavy workload, she was still grateful for her teacher's good intentions in her heart.

"Qin Yan, to celebrate your first opening report being written, I'll treat you to dinner tonight." Du Linze helped her convert the document into a PPT, and after the last slide was written, he saved it and sent it to her.

After Qin Yan checked it, she could see he had put in effort, and said, "I'll treat you. Thank you for helping me."

"Then I won't be polite."

But when they arrived at the restaurant, the three-person table that had been prepared ended up becoming a five-person table, which was very crowded. ===== CHAPTER 99 =====
