She turned and saw a small box on his pillow.
Ye Wan picked up the box. It was made of alligator leather and looked very luxurious. Curious about what was inside, she opened it. In the morning light, a dazzling brilliance made her close her eyes. She thought she was hallucinating. Had she just seen the ruby crown that Gu Yunting had bid two hundred million for yesterday?
She moved the box to a shaded area and, sure enough, it was the crown he had bought yesterday.
Dazzling diamonds, rubies like pigeon's blood, and a classic design made it even more exquisite and magnificent. Especially in the sunlight, it shimmered with a captivating glow.
What woman didn't like jewelry? Ye Wan was no exception. But wasn't this crown Gu Yunting bidding for Yan Jiayi? How did it end up on his pillow? Had he forgotten to take it?
Although Ye Wan thought this, she slowly moved the crown back into the morning light. Under the interplay of light and shadow, the crown was dazzling, and the entire bedroom lit up.
Having played enough, she put the crown back into the box and picked up her phone to call Gu Yunting.
Gu Yunting answered quickly and asked, "What is it?"
"You forgot to take your crown, won't your Miss Yan be angry with you?" Ye Wan held her breath, waiting for his reply.
"Who told you I bid for her?" Gu Yunting replied calmly.
"Then who did you bid for it?" Ye Wan asked, her heart filled with anticipation for his answer.
"..."
"Can't I buy it for collection?"
Ye Wan, "..."
She immediately hung up the phone. As expected, she shouldn't have had any expectations of a playboy like him.
Although she didn't truly want his two-hundred-million-dollar crown, she still had some hope that she was different in his heart.
Now it was proven that she was indeed being overly sentimental.
...
Jiang Jingxiu finally found the person who had ambushed Gu Yunting. It turned out to be an uncle from the Gu family. Seeing that Gu Yunting had closed another big deal and the old Gu family was almost crushed by him, he couldn't stand it anymore and decided to get rid of Gu Yunting.
He hadn't expected Gu Yunting to be so lucky and survive. He then tried to kill the woman Gu Yunting cared about most. When Yan Jiayi was shot, Gu Yunting had pulled her aside, and the bullet didn't hit a vital spot, saving Yan Jiayi's life as well.
At this moment, Gu Yunting's uncle had been secretly captured by Jiang Jingxiu.
When Gu Yunting arrived, the uncle was already half-beaten to death, covered in blood, his clothes torn into strips hanging on his body, and he was in a semi-comatose state. Da Feng Novel Network.
Jiang Jingxiu, holding a blood-dripping leather whip, lifted the man's chin and asked with a smile, "Tell me, were you in cahoots with anyone?"
"You little beast... little beast... an ungrateful beast, you deserve to die!" Although the uncle was almost unconscious, he still cursed Gu Yunting.
Gu Yunting was also vengeful. Years ago, his father's affair had caused his mother to fall into depression and jump off a building with his sister, resulting in one death and one injury. As a teenager, he had devised a plan to expel his biological father from the capital!
He hated that man, who was the head of the Gu family. Therefore, he had relentlessly suppressed the old Gu family over the years, established his own group, and trained his own bodyguards and secret guards. He grew rapidly like a demon, leaving the old Gu family with less and less room to survive.
Especially since the beginning of this year, Gu Yunting's revenge had become more frantic, causing huge losses to everyone in the Gu family. Those people were cornered. This man was not the first to try and kill Gu Yunting, but he was the first to openly attempt to kill him.
