Chapter 190 Mrs. Gu, do you miss me?



Chapter 190 Mrs. Gu, do you miss me?

Among the top-tier heirs in the elite circles of the capital, the one with the least gentlemanly manners is undoubtedly He Tingchuan.

Although everyone may be essentially the same kind of scoundrel, at least others will put on a human skin and pretend to be gentlemen, but He Tingchuan is the only one who won't.

When he's unhappy, he'll yell at you regardless of the situation, and hit you without any consideration for others, just like right now.

"Luo Beiqing! Are you just going to stand by and watch others attack your second uncle?!" Madam Luo the Second cried out in alarm, not daring to step forward.

Luo Beiqing nodded, with an expression that said, "You're right," and turned to Wen Yan, saying, "Let's go."

—It's really not good to watch an elder get beaten, so I won't watch it.

She didn't want to look at He Tingchuan either.

Madam Luo's face turned pale with anger, and she was about to say something when Luo Beiqing suddenly stopped in his tracks:

"Second Aunt, I will not give anything my parents left me to heartless people. If you intend to slander my parents—"

"If you intend to slander your uncle and aunt!" Wen Yan interrupted Luo Beiqing directly, looking at the Luo family members.

She doesn't need Luo Beiqing to play the villain; she's happy to be one!

Wen Yan paused, continued looking at the Luo family members, and then spoke, "Zhou Qi."

Zhou Qi, caught off guard by the sudden question, was taken aback: "Madam?"

Wen Yan asked, "Does the Gu family have any cooperation with the Luo family?"

He Tingchuan had stopped what he was doing and was staring intently at Luo Beiqing.

However, Luo Beiqing didn't even glance at him again.

“Yes, Mr. Luo just discussed a few pharmaceutical agency collaborations with us at the beginning of the year.” Zhou Qi understood immediately, his face displaying a flawless professional smile, and said, “Madam, if you need, the collaborations can be cancelled at any time. If you decide today, the procedures and formalities can be completed next week.”

"Assistant Zhou, how can this business cooperation be stopped so easily?" Uncle Luo's face was bruised and swollen, and his expression had changed drastically, making him look quite comical.

The cooperation with the Gu family was something he had worked hard to secure, yet Wen Yan managed to manipulate it with just one sentence?

Zhou Qi looked at him with a smile, indicating that he was not talking nonsense.

Wen Yan's expression was calm, but her aura was imposing: "Mr. Luo, I think it's easier for living people to argue with each other. People should also consider long-term interests. What do you think?"

If the Luo family dares to use Luo Beiqing's parents to blackmail her, then she doesn't mind using extreme measures!

Do these people really think that Luo Beiqing is easy to bully because she has no parents and is divorced?

"You—!" Uncle Luo's expression was unfriendly. He clearly wanted to say something to Wen Yan, but he hesitated and swallowed his words.

The sound of an ambulance wailed outside the door.

"Bei Qing, let's go." Wen Yan helped Luo Bei Qing downstairs.

……

Upon arriving at the hospital, Luo Beiqing was given a comprehensive examination that pregnant women could undergo.

Wen Yan sat in the rest area waiting, and began to settle scores with Zhou Qiqiu: "You called He Tingchuan here?"

Zhou Qi had already prepared his explanation: "Madam, men should be used properly. Besides, I was the one who called him here; it has nothing to do with you or Miss Luo."

After all, Young Master He and President Gu were once brothers in adversity, and now they have a good personal relationship. If Young Master He can't take good care of Miss Luo, then Madam will have to spend more time, which is not worthwhile!

Wen Yan glanced at Zhou Qi, said nothing more, and said, "Assistant Zhou, your acting is quite good."

"Acting?"

Zhou Qi was filled with fear, thinking that Wen Yan had seen through his little scheme.

"You just cooperated with me in deceiving and threatening the Luo family."

Zhou Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a 'don't wrong me' expression, "Madam, I'm telling the truth, and there's no suspicion of threatening anyone."

Wen Yan was taken aback, and subconsciously thought that a career-oriented family heir like Gu Yanci would never agree to her acting so recklessly.

But she swallowed the words back—subconsciously afraid that she would contradict herself with her words.

Wen Yan decided to call Gu Yanci later to report her arrogant behavior of taking advantage of Gu Yanci's power today.

She didn't want to admit that she did miss him a little.

Not far away, He Tingchuan had just finished learning about Luo Beiqing's situation and came out of the doctor's office.

"Ms. Wen, thank you for today," He Tingchuan said.

"No need for your thanks." Wen Yan crossed her arms and reminded him, "Instead of saying things that show he doesn't know his place, Young Master He should go home and clean up."

Wen Yan was subtly mocking Madam Luo for revealing Zhong Xue's involvement today.

He Tingchuan's expression darkened slightly. "I know."

“I’m a little curious,” Wen Yan asked He Tingchuan with a half-smile, “Are all men just spineless? They don’t cherish what they have, and then they act like romantics when they lose it.”

Zhou Qi, the innocent victim: "..."

A complex emotion flashed across He Tingchuan's sharp, handsome face. He pursed his lips but ultimately remained silent—there was nothing to say to Wen Yan anyway.

Wen Yan sneered, deciding to ignore it and walk aside to call Gu Yanci.

"Hello?" Gu Yanci answered quickly.

Wen Yan could hear a rare hint of weariness in the man's voice.

"...What's wrong? You don't sound like you're in a good mood. Is something going wrong at work?"

Gu Yanci's eyes were dark as he looked at the stack of documents in his hand, the words 'heart transplant,' 'heart source,' and 'capital' standing out.

He closed his eyes briefly, then quickly opened them again, and was back to normal.

"Why did Mrs. Gu suddenly think of me? How rare." He teased.

That makes it sound like she has no conscience!

Wen Yan pouted unconvinced, but remembering what she had done today, she didn't retort.

“Gu Yanci, I went to the Luo family to pick up Bei Qing today... and threatened the Luo family with your work-related issues.”

Her hesitant, unconfident tone automatically conjured up an image of her guilty conscience in Gu Yanci's mind, like a cat that had done something wrong, knew it was wrong, but didn't want to admit it, and even wanted its owner to coax it.

"How did you threaten me?" Gu Yanci asked with great patience.

“I said, if they cause trouble, we should make the Gu family cancel their cooperation,” Wen Yan added urgently. “They’ve gone too far! You know how good my uncle and aunt were to me when they were alive.”

Wen Yan spoke confidently at the time, as if she could make the decision herself, but in reality she had no confidence at all.

"That's it?" Gu Yanci scoffed disdainfully. "Zhizhi, you should have said: If you don't cooperate, I'll have my man ruin you."

"?"

Wen Yan was stunned into silence. Was this something a business leader should say?

What's even stranger is that she doesn't think Gu Yanci is talking nonsense; he really is capable of doing such reckless things!

"You...you'll get scolded by Grandpa if you do that!"

"Are you worried about me?" Gu Yanci couldn't help but smile.

Wen Yan pouted, neither admitting nor denying.

But Gu Yanci knew that her silence meant consent.

The restlessness in his heart was soothed a lot by her small gesture. Gu Yanci lit a cigar and watched a wisp of smoke rise.

"Zhizhi, if my brother were still here..."
