Do you still know him?

Ye Wanqing naturally wished that she had never interacted with him before.

"Young Master Gu can say whatever you want to say. Someone like me naturally wouldn't dare to play any tricks in front of you. After all, you can squash me to death with one finger."

Seeing that Ye Wanqing was no longer pretending, Gu Jinyuan's face became more serious, with traces of powerful Qi invading his lungs, Ye Wanqing unconsciously straightened his back.

"Why did you come to Li City?"

"Looking for someone."

"Who?"

Gu Jinyuan asked, his eyes looking at her, Ye Wanqing pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment before speaking: "This is my personal matter."

Ye Wanqing could clearly feel that his gaze had become a little sharper, causing her hair to stand on end. She had no choice but to continue to answer: "I am the illegitimate daughter of the Ye Family, go back to the Ye Family to ask for something."

If he was not worried that Gu Jinyuan would chase him out of the Li City, Ye Wanqing would not have used the Ye Family as a shield.

Hearing about the Ye family, Gu Jinyuan's face lit up, as though he did not expect Ye Wanqing to have such an identity, but the light flashed, and in the next moment, his lips curved up in a mocking smile: She is truly a terrible woman.

An illegitimate daughter that could not be exposed yet still wanted to fight over the property of the Ye family. Seriously … He was overestimating himself!

"Get off!"

Gu Jinyuan spoke of expelling them, his tone cold, as though Ye Wanqing being on the carriage for one more second had tarnished both his seat and the air in the carriage.

Ye Wanqing didn't want to stay in this sealed up space with him for a long time, so he didn't care about his harsh tone. He pushed open the door to get off, and just as he was about to close the car door, he heard Gu Jinyuan say: "You better not try to get close to my son, otherwise …"

He did not finish his words, but the threat in his words was well transmitted to Ye Wanqing's ears.

"Rest assured, I still want to live for two more years, so I will definitely follow the instructions of my employer."

With that said, the car door closed with a bang, and Ye Wanqing turned to leave.

Through the window, Gu Jinyuan's gaze continued to chase after Ye Wanqing's figure until she got on the taxi.

"Sir, do you want to go back to the old house?"

Lu Zhou warned her with a low voice and looked away: "Drive the car."

got off the car and took out a gift box that he had prepared beforehand from the trunk of the car to give it to Gu Jinyuan.

Reaching out to take it, he took two steps forward and slightly paused his steps, "Have the young master come to the study to look for me."

"Yes."

Ten minutes later, the study room's door was knocked three times. Gu Jinyuan replied and walked in, a child wearing a small suit, who looked like he was only four or five years old. The child was carved with jade and had a face that was slightly baby fat.

"Father."

Gu Zhenmu walked until he was a step away from the desk and stopped, then greeted politely. Even though there was a large and exquisite box placed on the desk, he did not display any curiosity.

Gu Jinyuan pushed the box forward a bit: "This is for you."

"Thank you, Dad."

Gu Zhenmu thanked her skillfully and stepped forward to carry the gift box away. Unexpectedly, the things inside were too heavy, and he wasn't able to hold onto it steadily, causing the gift box to fall off the desk. The box scattered, revealing the thick foreign language dictionary and the purely foreign language economics book.

Panic flashed through Gu Zhenmu's eyes as he hurriedly stood at attention: "I'm sorry Daddy, I didn't do it on purpose."

Gu Jinyuan kept watching his actions, and upon seeing the situation, he said: "Don't be in a rush to apologize, first you have to think of a way to minimize the losses, wait until everything is settled before analyzing the wrongs, do you know what you should do?"

Gu Zhenmu nodded, crouched down and placed the book back into the gift box, put it back in its original place and then held it up.

"I should have picked up the book first. This time, I underestimated the weight of the gift. I won't make this mistake again."

Gu Zhenmu guaranteed that her face was even more tense than when she first entered the room. It was clear that she was extremely afraid of Gu Jinyuan.

Gu Jinyuan stared at him for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Have you seen any strange people in the school over the past two days?"
