Chapter 1598

"Did you find your conscience? Spending so much money?"

In a high-end private restaurant, Wang Yan, led by a waiter, found Gu Li, who had been waiting there for a long time.

The dishes had all been served before Wang Yan arrived, so Wang Yan didn't stand on ceremony, sitting directly beside Gu Li and picking up his chopsticks to start eating.

Gu Li let the waiter leave, ignoring Wang Yan's teasing, and instead poured Wang Yan a glass of wine.

"Come, Wang Yan, let's have a drink together."

"Just a sip is fine, I never force others to drink." Wang Yan picked up the glass and took a sip himself.

However, Gu Li tilted her head back and finished the entire glass of white liquor, then covered her mouth with a tissue.

Wang Yan raised an eyebrow: "What's the meaning of this?"

Gu Li took a sip of juice to suppress the churning in her stomach, and said with a miserable smile: "Are you very proud of yourself now? Feeling triumphant?"

"Where does this come from?" Wang Yan seemed confused, but still kept chattering. "I'm a relatively low-key person, and I have a clear understanding of myself. But if you insist on thinking that I'm proud now, that I'm triumphant, then I can tell you that I've always been proud, not just now."

"At this point, is playing dumb still meaningful? I don't believe Lin Xiao didn't tell you that I already know about you two. I know Lin Xiao; she doesn't have much of a mind of her own. After she admitted it to me that day, she must have told you the first thing when she got back to her room. She must have asked you what to do, asked how she should get along with me next."

Gu Li's tone was very low and spiritless. She looked at Wang Yan, who was eating heartily. "Wang Yan, I thought you were still a human being, but I didn't expect that in order to make me deserted by all my friends and family, you would actually strike at Lin Xiao. You really are disgusting!"

Wang Yan took a sip of wine, still picking up food to eat and drink, his eyes fixed on the rotating table, eating endlessly. Amidst Gu Li's murderous gaze and her feeling of wanting to die of anger, he mumbled as he spoke.

"You have a huge misunderstanding of me. Lin Xiao did tell me, but how would I know what you're talking about? This restaurant isn't cheap, and you ordered so many dishes, and this white liquor isn't cheap either. Who knows what you're trying to do?

As for you saying I'm not human, that I'm disgusting, and that I struck at Lin Xiao, then your misunderstanding of me is even greater. What do you mean by 'actually struck at Lin Xiao'? That would imply I used some kind of drugging method; that's really ugly talk. It's clearly that Lin Xiao and I like each other, and Lin Xiao is willing to be with me.

You can't just say that because you have a prejudice against me, you think I'm some heinous villain. You also can't say that because Lin Xiao is your good sister, and you think I'm bad, you have to kidnap her into thinking I'm bad too. Lin Xiao has the right to pursue happiness, and it shouldn't be controlled by you; it shouldn't be that you say she's happy, so she's happy, and you say she's unhappy, so she's unhappy. That's just too unreasonable."

"Fine, you win." Gu Li crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair. "Since it was broken open, although Lin Xiao didn't move out, there's a rift between us. The family is scattered, the money is gone, and now even my best friend has been taken away by you. Are you satisfied now?"

"What do you mean 'are you satisfied now'? Gu Li, you still think I'm targeting you. You're narrow-minded yourself, so you think I'm just like you."

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "When we first met on the playground, I already said that Lin Xiao and you were both quite pretty. Because of how things developed, I had some contact with Lin Xiao, and we were mutually attracted, which naturally led to today.

Lin Xiao said that before, when Tang Wanru joked about you and me, you stated that even if Lin Xiao really liked me, you wouldn't have any other thoughts. Now it seems that at the time, you were just using something you thought was impossible to prove that you had let go of me.

The words were spoken, Lin Xiao listened, and as a result, you didn't mean to bless your good sister at all; instead, it was as if Lin Xiao had jumped into a fire pit by being with me. The rift you speak of stems exactly from this."

Gu Li sneered: "You've said it all, as if you're so correct. You're an internet upstart with billions in assets, you only come into contact with big shots. To you, Lin Xiao is just a primary school student who hasn't seen the world. Isn't it easy for you to trick her? Talking about mutual liking, isn't it just you seeing beauty and getting ideas?"

"Your words are too mean, too ugly. I see your beauty too, do you get ideas from me? Isn't this thing mutual? Looking at your world-weary appearance, thinking this is wrong and that is wrong, and if it doesn't fit your heart, it's all wrong. Did you go to the hospital?"

"You really know?" The light in Gu Li's eyes flashed repeatedly, with a bit of disbelief.

"I know you have a gynecological disease, I don't know exactly what it is. But looking at your reaction now, it should be uterine cancer, right? Feeling like the sky has collapsed, and with no one to talk to, you came to find trouble with me to vent your emotions."

"What emotions did I vent? Did I yell at you?"

"Yelling is a manifestation of emotion, it's not that only yelling represents emotion. You didn't yell, it's because you don't dare to yell at me."

Gu Li let out a long breath, calming her mood, and said sarcastically: "The doctor said my situation isn't very good, I have to do chemotherapy first, and if the effect isn't good, I have to remove my uterus, and it's very likely I have to remove it. Are you satisfied now?"

Wang Yan also let out a long breath, then took a sip of wine, looking at Gu Li with the gaze of looking at a fool.

"Now you have something wrong with your brain too. Your illness is a matter of your body, it's not that I made you get sick, what does it have to do with me that I'm satisfied?"

"It has nothing to do with you, but the more miserable I am, the happier you are, aren't you? What are you pretending for?"

"If that were really the case, you should be begging for food right now. Gu Li, you don't really think that because you have a few million in cash and a house, I can't do anything to you, right? I didn't interfere when you were fighting for the family property, otherwise, your assets would have been at least halved by now. Even now, do you think you can escape?"

"You talk as if you're so awesome, if you're so awesome, why aren't you the President of the United States?"

"People without a heart of gratitude are unhappy and joyless. Gu Li, your resentment is too heavy now."

"That's all because of you!"

Watching Gu Li's somewhat desperate appearance, Wang Yan laughed out loud. Gu Li always said Wang Yan was a mental patient, and now her own mind really had some problems.

Shaking his head with amusement, Wang Yan said: "What exactly did you come to me for?"

"Didn't you already say it..."

Hearing Wang Yan's impatient words, the desperate Gu Li lost her spirit again, poured herself a glass of wine, and tilted her head back to finish it. Then, as usual, she used juice to suppress the churning in her stomach, not eating a single bite of food.

She used a tissue to wipe the wine from the corners of her mouth and started a miserable smile again: "I really didn't expect that I wouldn't even have a single person to talk to. The family is scattered, it's completely over with Gu Yuan, Tang Wanru is a big mouth, and truthfully speaking, I can't trust her either. Lin Xiao is also acting silly and has fallen for your tricks, she's not on my side anymore.

Thinking it over, I only have you to talk to. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for being able to come, otherwise, I would be drinking here by myself today. The irony is that all of this is actually thanks to you."

"I really did take time out of my busy schedule to see you, you really should be thankful."

"Are you getting cocky just because I praised you?"

Wang Yan sneered: "My company is valued at two billion, the personnel, finance, future development of the company, and the maintenance of partners are all a bunch of things every day, there's simply no time when it's finished. Besides, there are Lin Quan, Nan Xiang, and Lin Xiao, the three of them need my company. Think about what you have more of? Gu Li, I've been good enough to you."

"You're just shameless, would I be like this without you?"

"You're being too boring saying that, isn't that going back to the beginning? How exactly did the conflict between us expand step by step? You think I'm relentless, I think you're used to bullying people and don't let people resist. Lin Xiao said you always say you've reflected, but I haven't seen you reflect on anything so far, and you still attribute the mistakes to me."

"I've already reflected that the fault between us is fifty-fifty, isn't that enough?"

Wang Yan laughed out loud, then didn't say anything more, just eating the food.

Gu Li finished two glasses of white liquor in a row, the drunkenness had already gone to her head, her face was red, and her speech gradually began to lose logic. She cried and laughed as she talked about a bunch of things from before.

At this moment, amidst her drunken talk, Wang Yan actually heard a bit of reflection; in short, she regretted it. She said that everything she was proud of had been destroyed by Wang Yan.

Since he went out to eat with her, Wang Yan of course had to be responsible for taking care of her, otherwise, he would be responsible if she died.

So after he had a big meal himself, he sent Gu Li to the apartment outside the school...

"Wow, long time no see, Wang Yan."

Tang Wanru greeted Wang Yan first, then said, "What's wrong with Gu Li? Why did she drink so much? And with you?"

"That's a way of putting it, we're friends too, how could there be any deep hatred?"

As he spoke, Wang Yan had already handed Gu Li over to Tang Wanru, then walked into the room.

"Hey, hey, hey, you should at least lend a hand." Tang Wanru shouted, but she didn't wait for Wang Yan, instead waiting for Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao stared at Wang Yan with wide eyes, but still followed Tang Wanru to settle Gu Li in her room before running out to look at Wang Yan.

"What's her situation?"

"It's the situation you saw."

By now, Wang Yan had already looked around the room once, and waved his hand at Lin Xiao, "I'm leaving first."

"Wait a second, I'll see you down." Lin Xiao ran back to put on a coat, told Tang Wanru, and then ran out to follow Wang Yan into the elevator.

Lin Xiao hugged Wang Yan's arm and asked again: "What exactly is the situation? How come you two were eating and drinking together?"

"She didn't mean anything, she was tired of living, so she found me, her enemy, to drink and scolded me."

"Get lost, she's about to be scared to death of you, and she dares to scold you? What exactly is going on?"

"There's really nothing going on, ask her yourself tomorrow."

"So mysterious, there must be something!"

Lin Xiao thought that after communicating deeply for a period of time, she knew Wang Yan relatively well; Wang Yan was a sincere person. He was so sincere that if she asked Wang Yan how much money he had, Wang Yan would give her a relatively accurate number; as long as it was related to himself, he never hid anything.

But with others, he generally wouldn't say much. For example, she always liked to ask about Lin Quan and Nan Xiang, and Wang Yan generally didn't pay much attention to her.

So if there really wasn't anything, Wang Yan would naturally tell her; if he didn't tell her, then Gu Li really had some things going on. From this aspect, Wang Yan could be considered to have told her, after all, he gave her an affirmation.

Seeing Wang Yan smiling without speaking, Lin Xiao knew she couldn't ask anything, and turned to say, "Today you two must have talked about us, right? What did you say?"

Wang Yan didn't hide this, telling her the conversation he had with Gu Li word for word.

After hearing it, Lin Xiao sighed: "Although it's not as estranged as she said, I do feel uncomfortable. Hey... it's all your fault!"

She gave him a few punches with her small fists irritably.

"Yes, yes, yes, if you say it's my fault, it's my fault." Wang Yan didn't refute at all, as long as everyone was happy with the bickering, providing value to each other...

Downstairs, Lin Xiao hugged her shoulders and stomped her feet, silent for a while, and said: "Wang Yan, what do you think about me moving out? That way we can avoid being awkward together with Gu Li, and we can also avoid, um... always going to, um... hotels..."

"We're already an old married couple, and you're still shy."

Wang Yan laughed, "But this is indeed convenient, and you'll be much freer, saving you from feeling pressure every time you return here. Then you can look around these few days, find a house you like and rent it, and I'll pay the rent for you."

"Of course you have to pay! Nan Xiang told me, I can't let you get it for free."

"Oh, you two have formed an alliance?"

Lin Xiao pouted: "We just started chatting again, we haven't met yet. The matter of wanting to move out was also told to me by her. She said... although she fears the world won't be chaotic enough and wants Gu Li to be deserted by all her friends and family, I feel that being with Gu Li right now is indeed uncomfortable. Hey... you say we've been good friends for so many years, and it ended up like this..."

She felt sad for a long time, and finally concluded with the three words "it's all your fault."

Wang Yan of course didn't care about whether it was his fault or not, he said solemnly: "Since you and Nan Xiang have already made up, how about we three have a meal together another day?"

Lin Xiao was very witty at this moment, in an instant her cold red face became even redder, and she immediately gave him a punch with her small fists irritably.

"Wang Yan! You stinky hooligan! What are you thinking! I'm telling you, no! Absolutely not! Don't even think about it!"

"What are you mumbling about? Why can't it be done?"

Wang Yan was very innocent, "You two were good sisters to begin with, and now you're both with me, and you both know about each other, this belongs to being close on top of being close, what a good thing. Oh, I get it, you're thinking about the three of us..."

"Don't say it!"

Lin Xiao reached out to cover Wang Yan's mouth, looking at the smile on Wang Yan's face, "Oh, you're so bad! I'm going back! Wanru will overthink it! You're not allowed to let your imagination run wild, hurry up and give up this idea!"

Wang Yan laughed...
