Chapter 1: Ask for Help with the Right Attitude
“Ji Li, why are you suing my dad? He’s been so good to you, and yet you repay kindness with enmity!” Gu Anqi burst into the office, angrily demanding an explanation.
The handsome man seated in the office chair had a sinister look in his eyes as he sneered coldly, “Repay kindness with enmity? Tell me, what kindness has that old man ever shown me?”
Gu Anqi suddenly felt a chill. The man before her seemed like a stranger, not the Ji Li who had always cherished her and tolerated her every whim. His grim and ruthless demeanor now sent shivers down her spine.
“You… how can you treat my dad like this? If it weren’t for his help, your Ji Corporation would have changed hands long ago. Do you think you could still be sitting here talking to me?”
Ji Li scoffed, standing up and approaching Gu Anqi, grabbing a handful of her hair and forcing her face close to his, menacingly saying, “You should first consider if you even have the right to speak to me like this. The Gu family is bankrupt; do you still think you’re some lofty princess?”
Gu Anqi endured the pain, gritting her teeth, “It’s all your doing, isn’t it?”
“I should thank you for that. If you hadn’t placed that bugged gift at home, how would I have gotten the evidence against Gu Bochuan so quickly?” It turned out Ji Li had been plotting from the very beginning! From the time he started pursuing her in high school to now, it had been eight years. Eight years, how many eight years does one have in a lifetime? During their time together, Ji Li had spoiled Gu Anqi rotten, fulfilling her every unreasonable demand. Although Gu Anqi always pretended not to care, deep down, she was already thinking about getting engaged to him. She thought that once they married, the entire Gu family would fall into Ji Li’s hands, but she hadn’t anticipated that this man couldn’t even wait that long and had already shown his true colors.
