Until the car stopped again, Jiang Yan realized that Jin Lan had sent her back to the residential area. He said in a cold voice, "You don't owe me anything. Paying back your family was what Ting Ge asked me to do, and the letter of understanding was also what Ting Ge asked me to help you find. If you want to thank someone, thank Ye Wan. Get out of the car! You don't have to feel like you owe me anything in the future."
Jiang Yan stared at him blankly. Seeing that she didn't move, Jin Lan got out of the car, walked to the passenger seat, pulled her out, closed the door, and then got back into the driver's seat and drove away.
Jiang Yan's legs went weak and she fell to the ground. She watched the car drive away, and her heart suddenly felt a pang. If Jiang Jingxiu hadn't told her the truth, she might have truly believed Jin Lan.
He had done everything, and he had paid a huge price for it.
Jiang Yan knew Jin Lan wasn't a bad person. Ye Wan was right, he wasn't a bad person... she was the despicable and shameless bad person who had used him.
The next day, Gu Yunting rushed to the company due to an emergency without even eating breakfast.
Ye Wan was worried he hadn't eaten breakfast. His stomach had always been delicate, and if he didn't eat on time, he would surely feel uncomfortable.
She picked up her phone and sent him a message. Gu Yunting didn't reply, so Ye Wan continued to eat her breakfast.
She heard voices and the sound of high heels on the floor outside. Ye Wan curiously looked up to see who was coming, as no one wore high heels at the Gu residence.
"Ting asked me to come and get an important document. I'll go upstairs to get it."
As the voice grew closer, Ye Wan saw a familiar person—the woman who had been with Gu Yunting before.
Hua Rong also saw her, stopped, and smiled, "Hi, little beauty, are you having breakfast?"
Ye Wan remembered that Gu Yunting had taken this woman with him on a business trip last time. This was the woman who had answered when she called, saying Gu Yunting was taking a shower. She recognized the voice.
"Mm," Ye Wan replied indifferently, her attitude neither warm nor cold. She was Gu Yunting's wife now and wouldn't like other women around him.
"I'll get a document for Ting and leave after I've got it," Hua Rong said, and was led upstairs by Gu Yin.
Gu Yin looked at Ye Wan with disgust in his eyes. He had been punished last time because of this woman.
Hua Rong came downstairs with the document. She didn't leave but walked directly into the dining room. She smiled at Ye Wan and said, "My name is Hua Rong. We'll be seeing each other often from now on."
Ye Wan drank the milk in her cup and tilted her head to look at her. When she saw that Hua Rong had a necklace identical to hers around her neck, her expression turned colder.
"There's no need. I'm not familiar with Miss Hua," Ye Wan replied indifferently, then lowered her head and continued eating, no longer looking at her.
Hua Rong seemed to be taken aback, looking a bit embarrassed. "Ting and I are good friends. Given our relationship, we'll be together often. I just hope we can get to know each other."
"I said there's no need. You have a relationship with him, but that doesn't mean you have a relationship with me." Ye Wan's chest felt tight, and she spoke impolitely. She wasn't a doormat; did they really think she had no temper?
Although Gu Yunting's actions were渣 (scum), wasn't this woman trying to show off by speaking to her like this in such a roundabout way?
"Ye Wan, who do you think you are, talking to Miss Hua like that? Do you know who Miss Hua is? You're not even worthy of carrying her shoes!" Gu Yin glared at Ye Wan with disdain, spewing vulgarities.
