Chapter 364 - A Good Show

After sending Ye Qian off, I lay down to sleep. I felt a warm hand on my forehead. It was Jing Tian.

I opened my eyes. As expected, Jing Tian sat down on the chair beside my bed.

I extended my hand to him with a smile. He held my hand. "You said we're going abroad for the holidays. Is that still true?"

"Of course, so you have to recover soon. We can't have any disruption to our planned holiday!" Jing Tian patted my head.

I heaved a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter? You don't seem to be in a good mood." Jing Tian noticed instantly.

I told him about Ye Qian and Lu Yan.

"Jing Tian, I can't find sympathy for either of them." I sighed.

Jing Tian smiled. "I don't think they need your sympathy. All of you have made long-term plans for yourself. Nanxing, since you have chosen this path, you must plan for it. Being too emotional won't do you any good. Take Brother Hu's team as an example, and they're doing well for themselves. Their future is bright."

I was gratified. "I was lucky to have run into them when I was still starting."

"They were lucky too. If they had stayed with Han Cheng, they'd be rotting in prison by now. Regardless, Nanxing, the two girls are right about one thing, they won't get any benefits from being your enemy. I hope they'll remember this in the long run."

I didn't quite understand. "What do you mean?"

Jing Tian smiled, but his smile was a little cold. "Nanxing, people change. It isn't easy to preserve one's nature in the arena of power. Fighting for benefits is an act of playing with fire, do you understand?"

I nodded. "I do. I'll keep my distance from them in the future. Since they aren't on my side, it's better to keep a distance from them."

Due to our illness, the three of us stayed in the hospital. Even though Mai Qi's injuries were light, she refused to leave the hospital. She insisted on staying by our side. This also meant that we missed plenty of good shows.

First, Lu Yan was welcomed back to the Gu Family. It was extremely high-profile. Master Gu Er basically announced to the world that he had found his long-lost daughter. He even brought Lu Yan to the capital to greet the Gu Family's ancestors.

Both the underworld and the surface world knew of this.

Lu Yan's return made Ye Qian's adopted daughter's identity even more awkward. Ye Qian was already an adult, and she could take care of herself. The most decent way for her to exit was to leave the Gu Family while maintaining a good relationship with them.

However, Ye Qian's adopted mother, Mrs. Gu strongly opposed this. Mrs. Gu had taken Ye Qian as her biological daughter. She recovered so well that the Gu Family had forgotten she had a mental problem.

Such was the fate of political marriage. As long as the interests of the two families were protected, nothing was a problem. However, no one expected Mrs. Gu to relapse once her biological daughter was found.

No matter what, Mrs. Gu could not accept that Lu Yan was her biological daughter. She only accepted Ye Qian.

Mrs. Lu had already decided that Lu Yan was a horrible person. She claimed that the Gu Family brought Lu Yan back to bully her and Ye Qian. Mrs. Yu even threatened divorce. Since the Gu Family didn't welcome her daughter anymore, Mrs. Gu wanted to leave the Gu Family too. She would live with her daughter. She was ready to abandon her maiden family and her husband's family.

This was a serious matter. The Gu and Ye families had no choice but to sit down and discuss a solution because they could not afford to lose Mrs.. Gu.
