205 It’s Good For Everyone If Your Take the Money and Leave

“It’s normal.” Su Tian opened a box of mints. “It’s hard to find a handsome and rich man like him.”

However, with her status, it was impossible for her to be with him.

Gu Quan held the gifts and led her to the car.

He thought of his parents’ attitude towards her and stopped talking about Pei Zhi. “My mother is soft-hearted. Talk to her more later.”

On the fifteenth, the Gu couple rejected Su Tian’s visit with the excuse that they were not at home.

She thought that the outcome would be the same this time. She did not expect them to agree.

“I know.” Su Tian put on her seatbelt and smiled as sweetly as ever. “I’ll definitely perform well.”

Gu Quan stared at her smile and for a moment, the figure of another person flashed across his mind.

He composed himself and drove towards the Gu residence.

Su Tian picked up a portion of the gifts and held Gu Quan’s arm as they approached the door.

When they reached the door of the living room, they heard laughter. When they looked around, they realized that there were guests sitting on the sofa.

“Mom.” Gu Quan interrupted them.

He placed the gifts on the coffee table and patted his mother gently on the back. “These are the gifts Tian Tian bought for you.”

Su Tian greeted obediently, “Hello, Auntie.” She revealed the most perfect posture and smile, looking gentle and harmless.

Zhang Wanlian nodded. “Sit down first.”

Her attitude was much better than the last time they met. Su Tian smiled even more, but before she could find a topic to talk about, she was beaten to it.

“Brother Quan, do you still remember me?” There were two girls sitting on the sofa opposite them. The one who spoke was the same type as Su Tian, but in comparison, this girl was much prettier.

Gu Quan searched for her name in his mind.

His gaze stopped on that familiar face. Looking at him, Su Tian thought that he was attracted to this girl so much that he was in a daze.

She suppressed the emotions in her eyes and sat closer to him, as if she was declaring that Gu Quan was hers.

“Tang Manxi?” He did not notice Su Tian’s actions and thought for a long time before coming up with a name.

“I thought you didn’t remember me.” Tang Manxi sat up straight and looked at him with sparkling eyes.

During the summer vacation in high school, she came to Lin City to play for a month and stayed with the Gu family.

During that period of time, they often played together and got along very well like a pair of siblings.

However—

She did not want to be his sibling anymore.

“Why would I forget you?” Gu Quan’s expression softened.

He held Su Tian’s hand and glanced at the young lady beside her. “Is this your friend?”

“She’s my younger sister.” Tang Manxi pinched Tang Ni’s arm and asked her to look up. “Tang Ni.”

This voice made Tang Ni’s hair stand on end.

She endured the pain in her arm and looked up, revealing her beautiful face and forcing a smile.

Seeing that she was wearing a hearing aid, Gu Quan suppressed the curiosity in his heart and smiled gently.

He looked away. “Where’s my father?”

“Making a phone call upstairs.” Zhang Wanlian looked at Tang Manxi as if she was looking at her own daughter. “Manxi, when will your parents come?”

“On the third day of new year.”

“Let’s have a meal together.”

“Sure.” Tang Manxi looked at Gu Quan. “Brother Quan, my family moved to Lin City.”

“How long ago?”

“At the end of November.” She ignored Su Tian and said ambiguously, “We can see each other more often in the future.”

Zhang Wanlian put down her coffee cup. “Quan, bring your two sisters to look around in the garden. I’ll call you when it’s time to eat.”

“Alright.” Gu Quan slowly stood up. Before he could take a step forward, he heard her say, “Su Tian, stay and talk with me.”

Su Tian stayed in the living room alone.

She took the lemonade from the nanny. Her movements were natural and graceful.

“Auntie, your skin condition is really good.” She started the conversation with praise.

Unfortunately, Zhang Wanlian did not buy it.

She crossed her hands and placed them between her knees. “Miss Su, when do you plan to break up with Quan?”

“What do you mean?”

“We’ve decided to let Quan get engaged to Manxi.”

It was a short sentence, but it sounded like a drum beating in Su Tian’s ears, making her ears hurt.

She gripped the glass tightly. “He agreed?”

“It doesn’t matter if he agrees or not.”

“You made a decision without his permission. Have you considered his feelings?”

Zhang Wanlian asked, “Who do you think he will choose between you and the Gu Corporation?”

“You’re forcing him.”

“I’m forcing him? Aren’t you forcing him too?”

Su Tian was speechless.

She looked at Zhang Wanlian with tears in her eyes, her face as pale as paper.

“There’s ten million in here.” Zhang Wanlian took out a bank card and placed it on the coffee table. “It’s good for everyone if you take the money and leave.”

To Su Tian, ten million yuan was a huge sum of money, but she did not want it now.

She did not believe that they would be so heartless as to force Gu Quan to make a choice, so she decided to take a gamble. “I don’t want it.”

“You think it’s not enough?”

“You’ve misunderstood.” She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said stubbornly, “I won’t break up with him.”

Zhang Wanlian was not surprised.

She asked the nanny to make another pot of flower tea and sent a WeChat message to Gu Chengyi. “Miss Su, I hope you won’t regret it.”

“Do you hate me that much?”

“I don’t hate you.”

Su Tian saw that figure from the corner of her eye and cried even harder than before. “I beg you, please don’t separate us, okay?”

With just one sentence, Gu Quan understood what happened while he wasn’t present.

He hurriedly walked up to Su Tian and frowned in frustration. “Mom, what did you say to her this time?”

“You know very well what I said.” Zhang Wanlian’s annoyance was written all over her face.

She switched off the screen on the phone and glanced coldly at Su Tian, who was crying non-stop. “Stop crying. It’s annoying.”

“I’m… I’m sorry.” Su Tian humbled herself and trembled in Gu Quan’s arms in fear.

Hearing her sobbing, Gu Quan’s thoughts were in a mess. There was nothing else he could do other than comforting her.

He took out a tissue to wipe Su Tian’s face. Just as he was about to bring her to the washroom, Gu Chengyi’s voice came from upstairs.

“Tian, wait for me.” He picked up the glass of water and fed her before turning to go upstairs.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away. In the quiet environment, the sound of the door closing was amplified.

Su Tian became even more flustered. Every second she waited became so long that she wanted to escape.

At this moment, her uneasiness and Zhang Wanlian’s calmness were in stark contrast.
