Chapitre 32: Chapter 32 What Gave You the Courage to Show Off In Front of Me?
Éditeur: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yun Yiyi scoffed before she replied, "What kind of person do you think I am? Do you think I'm like those vain and greedy women around you? Just because you have money, you think I'll obediently listen to you?" She did not wait for Gu Jingyan to reply as she continued to say icily, "It's true that I'm short of money, and your family doesn't lack money. However, that's my business, and it has nothing to do with you!"
Gu Jingyan only cocked an eyebrow when he heard Gu Jingyan's words. He had expected that she would not give in so easily. "How could it have nothing to do with you? It concerns your mother. In the eyes of the law, you're a member of the Yun family so it has everything to do with you..."
"Ridiculous!" Yun Yiyi glared at Gu Jingyan. "Did I take the jewelry from the Gu family? Am I the one who owes your family? How does it have anything to do with me, in the eyes of the law? How could you not know this? Young Master Gu, it seems like you've lived so many years in vain." Then, she continued to say mockingly, "Like I said earlier, I no longer have anything to do with her. As for the law you spoke up, please do your homework before you talk to me. After being a senior editor for so long, it's the first time I'm hearing about children being obligated to pay their parents' debts."
Upon hearing Yun Yiyi's words, Gu Jinguyan's expression changed slightly. He was no longer as relaxed as before. It was true that he was just spouting whatever appeared in his mind about the law earlier. Due to her job, he knew Yun Yiyi was rather knowledgeable about the law.
Yun Yiyi was happy when she saw her words had rendered Gu Jingyan speechless. She lifted her head and looked at him proudly. "You don't even know what you're talking about, but you dare to show off in front of me. I really admire your courage, Young Master Gu."
She said mockingly, "In order to prevent Young Master Gu from blindly threatening me, I'll give you a lesson for free. According to the law, parents and children are two separate entities. The debts of parents have nothing to do with their children. To put it simply, what my mother owes the Gu family has nothing to do with me. Young Master Gu, do you still think you can force me to submit to you by threatening me with my mother's debt? I'm really sorry to disappoint you..."
Gu Jingyan had no retort for her words. He was livid, and his lips were flattened into a line. He had been thoroughly humiliated by Yun Yiyi! For someone as arrogant as him, how could he not be infuriated? He gritted his teeth. He promised himself that sooner or later he would make her submit to him. "Yun Yiyi, are you really going to watch your mother be sent to jail?"
"You can do as you please," Yun Yiyi said indifferently. She had done everything she could for her mother. What else could she do?
"Good! Very good!" Gu Jingyan said through clenched teeth, "I want to see if you're still able to stay calm when your mother really lands in jail!"
"Young Master Gu, how many times do I have to tell you that I no longer have anything to do with her?" Yun Yiyi said nonchalantly.
Gu Jingyan's eyes flashed with an unfathomable light as he said, "Don't forget you still have a crippled elder brother. If your mother is sent to jail, do you really think he'd do nothing?"
Yun Yiyi looked outwardly calm, but her heart trembled when she heard Gu Jingyan's words. She recalled how good her elder brother had treated her in the past. However, her heart turned cold when she remembered her mother and brother had schemed against her. "Young Master Gu, do as you please."
Gu Jingyan was puzzled by Yun Yiyi's indifference when he mentioned Yun Qiao. Did she not love her crippled brother the most? Why did she suddenly change? He asked, "You really don't care about your brother?"
Yun Yiyi replied with nary a ripple in her expression, "My brother and I are both adults. We're not children who need to be taken care of. His matters have nothing to do with me..."
Gu Jingyan was speechless. He glared at her as he burned in anger. He really wished he could strangle her to assuage his anger!
"Young Master Gu, it's getting dark. Please let go of me. I want to go home."
"Go home?" Gu Jingyan's eyes turned cold as he angrily said, "I won't allow you to return to Fei Mo's house!"
"Fei Mo and I are husband and wife. What does it have to do with you if I return to my house?" Yun Yiyi looked at the furious Gu Jingyan indifferently. She was not afraid of him despite how furious he was. "Young Master Gu, please don't forget that we no longer have anything to do with each other. Your current behavior can be considered harassment. I can call the police on you."
"Call the police?" Gu Jingyan chuckled. "You're in my arms now. How are you going to call the police?"
"That's right. So what should I do?" Yun Yiyi feigned a helpless and worried expression.
Gu Jingyan looked at Yun Yiyi's watery eyes that were brimming with grievances. His anger seemed to dissipate by half when he looked at her. This woman was truly poisonous! Men's hearts would soften whenever she looked sad. He forcefully hardened his heart and said, "Come home with me."
Yun Yiyi felt as though she had just heard a joke. Return with him? Did he really think she would give in to his demand? Although she was tightly confined in his arms and could not move, she had already thought of a way to get away from him. It was true her strength was not enough for her to push him away. However, she could use her lower body that was not constrained to free herself. She raised her leg and aimed her knee at Gu Jingyan's family's jewels.
This was not her first time using this move on him. She had kneed him in that place at her office as well.
A muffled groan rang in the air as Gu Jingyan's face paled immediately. He let go of his grip on Yun Yiyi as he doubled over in pain.
Gu Jingyan's face that was contorted in pain was proof of how much force Yun Yiyi had used. However, she thought that he deserved it. He had harassed her after all.
Yun Yiyi's car was parked just next to her. She hurriedly turned around and entered her car. She did not waste time and quickly drove away. She knew if she dallied, she would not be able to escape once Gu Jingyan recovered from the pain.
"Yun Yiyi!" Gu Jingyan's angry roar resounded in the car park of the used car dealership.
