Chapter 109: You can either kill me or skin me alive, whichever you prefer

  Evening?

  The coffee shop downstairs is mostly filled with white-collar workers from nearby offices, so the decoration of the coffee shop is simple and elegant.

  Lu Qinghuan sat inside, looking at Gu Yecan wearing a suit and sunglasses. When he came down, his calm demeanor changed when he saw Lu Qinghuan, and he directly sat in front of her.

  "Miss Lu, what can I do for you?" She took off her sunglasses with one hand and said, "Jun."

  Lu Qinghuan looked at Gu Yeh, "However, yesterday I saw Xiao Qian, and he didn't seem to be in good spirits. Gu Yeh, I know we've met a few times before, but we're not very familiar with each other. Later, I left B City, left Xiao Qian..."

  Gu Yu looked at Lu Qinghuan and smiled, "Yes, back then, we hadn't met many times."

  Lu Qinghuan looked at Gu Yan, when she first saw her, she never thought that one day, she would become Xiao Qian's wife.

  But sometimes, life is just so unpredictable.

  Lu Qinghuan said, "Yes, I still remember, Xiao Qian asked me to learn Taekwondo with you, unfortunately... I'm not very good at it, I'm not very good at sports."

  Gu Yu smiled slightly, looking at Lu Qinghuan with a calm expression. "Miss Lu, you came to see me just to catch up? I think you've got the wrong person."

  "It's not that... I just..."; Lu Qinghuan looked at Gu Yei, "I said these things not to mention my past relationship with Xiao Qian, if it makes you uncomfortable, I'm really sorry."

  Gu Yan smiled and said, "No, I'm not uncomfortable. What you said is after all the truth. I just want to know what you mean by calling me here now."

  Lu Qinghuan blinked her eyes, looking at Gu Yeh, "Actually, when I left Xiao Qian back then, there was no other reason. It's just that I'm actually not from the same world as him. In my heart, I knew we parted ways peacefully, without any quarrels or melodramatic misunderstandings. I want to say, since I decided to leave, I never thought about having any further entanglements with him."

  Gu Yu smiled but didn't speak, watching as Lu Qing welcomed someone who was talking there.

  "But this time, I saw that Xiao Qian seems to be in a bad mood recently. I think he might have some troubles that I'm not convenient to know about. I hope you, as his wife, can understand more and accompany him well, help him, and stand shoulder to shoulder with him..."

  Gu Yanshao was good at self-control, but she couldn't help but laugh a little because of her few words.

  "Thank you for your concern," said Gu Yan.

  Lu Qinghuan said, "I understand him, I know that if nothing had happened, he wouldn't be like this."

  "But I'm afraid I have to remind you of something, you've got the wrong person." Gu Ye said.

  Lu Qinghuan was stunned and looked at Gu Yeh.

  Gu Yu had already taken her bag and stood up, making a gesture to leave. She said to Lu Qinghuan, "I have nothing to do with him anymore, he may not have had time to tell you yet."

  She didn't mention divorce directly, but she thought that even if she were to tell Lu Qinghuan, it should be Xiao Qian himself who says it, and it would be better not to bring it up at all.

  Lu Qinghuan sat there, stunned for a long time, and didn't understand what Gu Yan meant.

  Indeed, Gusu and Xiao Qian's matter is still unknown to outsiders.

  Who would have thought that they would use their special relationship at night and get things done, so apart from the two of them, no outsider really knew about this matter.

  Gu Yu was just wondering why Lu Qinghuan was also his confidant, how could such a big thing happen without Xiao Qian telling Lu Qinghuan at the first time?

  Gu Yu was still feeling strange when Lu Qinghuan went straight to find Xiao Qian amidst his doubts.

  Xiao Qian saw Lu Qinghuan walking quickly into the office and frowned slightly.

  During work hours, he didn't like being disturbed by others, especially when he was already bothered with troubles.

  "Excuse me, I'm still busy now. If there's anything, we can talk about it later."

  Lu Qinghuan looked at Xiao Qian strangely, "Qian, I just went to see Gu Ye."

  Xiao Qian's fingers, which were holding the paper, paused for a moment. Upon hearing Gu Yu's name, he felt his scalp numb and his anger burning.

  Xiao Qian raised his head and looked at Lu Qinghuan's face. "You went to see Gu Yu? What did you do when you met?"

  She went to see Gu Yu without his consent, which made Xiao Qian's heart burn with anger.

  Lu Qinghuan hurriedly apologized, "Sorry, Xiao Qian, it was my fault. I shouldn't have gone to see Gu Yu privately. I know I might make her angry, but because I saw that you seemed unhappy, I thought maybe you were arguing with her, and I hoped she could get along well with you."

  "Really, it's great being with you... I..."

  Xiao Qian furrowed his brow and looked at her, "So you went to find Gu Yu?"

  "It's... " Lu Qinghuan lowered his head, clenched his fists and sighed, with a look of regret on his face. "Maybe I really shouldn't have gone. I feel like she got even angrier after I went. Now I'm really regretful. Otherwise, you go find her and tell her..."

  Xiao Qian wanted to scold something, but facing Lu Qinghuan, he couldn't scold anything.

  Xiao Qian thought that if Gu Yan was like Lu Qinghuan, who apologized immediately after doing something wrong and had such a careful attitude and pitiful appearance, he might also soften his heart.

  Not all men are like this.

  Men are originally a species that yields to softness but resists force, yet Gu Yu inexplicably doesn't understand this.

  Xiao Qian looked at Lu Qinghuan, "Forget it... since we've met, but my relationship with Gu Yan is not that simple. Don't take the initiative next time."

  "It's... I know, but I didn't come to find you just to apologize." Lu Qinghuan looked at Xiao Qian, but also made Xiao Qian feel strange, he looked at her with doubt, as if asking what else she wanted to say.

  Lu Qinghuan said, "Why did Gu Yeh say that she has nothing to do with you now? She told me to ask you myself, but..."

  Lu Qinghuan widened her eyes and stared at Xiao Qian, "What happened to you guys?"

  Xiao Qian involuntarily stood up and remained standing upright until he felt the need to lower his head in order to see Lu Qinghuan's expression.

  Xiao Qian said, "What did Gu Yan say?"

  Xiao Qian's expression changed slightly, his eyes narrowed, as if he had thought for a long time, before saying to Lu Qinghuan, "It's nothing, you go back first, I still have something to deal with."

  "Hey, Xiao Qian, what's going on? You haven't made it clear yet," said Lu Qinghuan. "Did something happen between you and her?"

  Xiao Qian seemed to ignore Lu Qinghuan and walked out directly.

  Xiao Qian almost kicked open Gu Y's office door.

  Inside, Yuan Chun was still there discussing something with Gu Yu. Seeing Xiao Qian come in, she was startled and quickly covered her chest, turning around to hug the documents and look at Xiao Qian.

  Xiao Qian coldly shouted at Yuan Chun, "Get out."

  Yuan Chun was shocked, but still stood there, asking in a general tone as he looked at Gu Yu.

  Gu Yu nodded slightly, "It's okay, Yuan Chun, you go out first. It seems that Director Xiao has something to say privately."

  Yuan Chun could only nod and quickly ran out from beside Xiao Qian with his head down.

  Xiao Qian turned his head back, his black eyes glanced at the door of the room, before turning around and staring at Gu Yu, "Gu Yu!"

  He leaned in close to her desk, his hands resting on the table, supporting his tall frame. He bent down and stared at Gu Yu, "What did you say to Qing Huan?"

  Gu Yan blinked her eyes and said, "I didn't say anything."

  "Did you tell her we're divorced? Gu Yan, are you sick or something? Since we agreed to keep it a secret, why did you go and blab about it? I didn't expect that you'd still be such a big-mouthed woman."

  Gu Yu's eyes widened as she stared at Xiao Qian, who was furious. "I never said we were divorced, do you understand that before questioning me?"

  Xiao Qian pulled up Gu Yan, "You said you have nothing to do with me, what's the difference between saying that and saying we're divorced?"

  Gu Yu smiled, "Of course it's different now, what's done is done, the divorce is a fact. Besides, she was your confidante, and you're keeping this from her, is that really okay?"

  "There's no secret that can be kept, you must be crazy to tell another person, if Grandpa finds out, how will you deal with it? Or are you going to show the same expression as now and say you never said that?"

  "I..."

  Xiao Qian coldly snorted, "Yes, anyway you're no longer in the Xiao family, you don't care about Grandfather's feelings anymore, and you don't care that several Xiao family companies are still listed on the stock market. Anyway, it has nothing to do with you now. However, Gu Yu, I'm reminding you, as a person, one must have a conscience. If you keep burning bridges after crossing them, aren't you afraid of encountering ghosts halfway?"

  "Xiao Qian, have you had enough? I only revealed a few ambiguous words, do you need to scold me so viciously?" Gu Yan knew she had spoken out of turn, but at least she hadn't actually said it.

  Besides, Lu Qinghuan found her like this, which originally made her very angry and annoyed, she just lost control for a moment.

  Xiao Qian looked at Gu Yan and coldly snorted, "Others know how to lower their head and admit their mistakes when they've done wrong, what's with your attitude?"

  Gu Yan said, "Yes, I admit it."

  "Wrong, can't you just admit your mistake? What do you want me to do now? Go ahead and kill or torture me if you like!"

  "Kill or skin?" Xiao Qianming knew that Gu Yan was this kind of person, should have known that Gu Yan was this kind of moral character, only... couldn't control himself...

  Xiao Qian reached out and grabbed the collar of Gu Yu's clothes, looking at her proud and heroic demeanor. Suddenly, he tore open her clothes with a loud ripping sound...
