Chapter 107: Lu Miao Is His Bottom Line

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

While his little scheming thoughts played out in his mind, Gu Shiyan didn’t even give it a second thought. He walked straight over, slightly bowed, and greeted the old lady. Then he reached out, took a wet tissue from the side, and carefully and patiently wiped every inch of Miao Miao’s skin on her hand.

Only then did he raise his eyes to look at her and spoke in a gentle voice, “The car is waiting at the entrance. Leave this to me; you take your grandmother downstairs. I’ll take you both to Tianxiang Restaurant later for a meal suitable for her.”

Lu Siyu, standing behind, looked at the person in front of her with disbelief. In the business world, Gu Shiyan was ruthless, cold-hearted, and merciless. In his personal life, he was abstinent and aloof, keeping people at a distance. She had seen and heard various versions of Gu Shiyan, including heartless, ruthless, and cunning. She had even put down her pride and tried to approach him, but he had ruthlessly ignored her many times.

However, she had never seen or heard that Gu Shiyan could be associated with words like indulgent and gentle. Yet, for the sake of Lu Miao, he had taken time out of his busy schedule to come here. He even took the initiative to pick up the tissue and attentively wiped Lu Miao’s hand. His gaze towards her held an unprecedented gentleness.

Beside them, there were Gu Jinxi and Gu Ziheng, who were usually rebellious and unruly, but now they were like two fierce little beasts fiercely protecting her.

In Lu Siyu’s heart, there was a mixture of sourness and resentment. She couldn’t understand why Lu Miao, a country bumpkin who didn’t know anything, had such appeal. In such a short time, she managed to capture the wholehearted devotion of Gu Shiyan, Gu Jinxi, and Gu Ziheng. If it had been her who entered the Gu family in the beginning, would she be the one they loved and protected so fiercely now?

Jealousy could not help but surge out from the bottom of her heart.

“Hello, we received a report that someone was poisoning and drugging people here. May I ask who made the report…”

Several policemen approached from the other end of the corridor.

Before they could finish speaking, the leading officer, upon seeing Gu Shiyan, immediately stopped in his tracks and respectfully called out, “Good afternoon, Mr. Gu.”

Gu Shiyan hummed lightly and continued to gently pinch Lu Miao’s hand. He did not even raise his head as he looked at her and said, “You called the police?”

His little friend was still a law-abiding citizen.

‘Yes.”

Lu Miao used a little strength and pulled her hand out of Gu Shiyan’s hand.

Then, she turned around and picked up the glass of water in front of her.

Qin Shuang finally reacted, and her expression changed drastically. She rushed over and reached out to snatch the cup from her hand.

Gu Jinxi, who was at the side, reacted quickly and pulled her back.

“Stay away from my second sister-in-law.”

Lu Miao handed the cup in her hand to the policeman beside her.” Officer, if I remember correctly, poisoning food is considered attempted murder.”

Qin Shuang was instantly anxious after being accused of such a big crime. “You’re talking nonsense. I only drugged you to make you faint and lose consciousness. How is that murder…

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly realized that she had fallen into Lu Miao’s trap. She quickly covered her mouth and glared at her hatefully.

Lu Miao turned around and looked at the police officer beside her.” You heard it just now. Do you need any other evidence?”

The police officer waved his hand.” No need. We have both witnesses and evidence. We’ll go back and get someone to test the exact composition of the drug. We’ll get the surveillance video from the store.”

With that, he immediately brought his men to the boss to get the evidence.

Hearing that Qin Shuang had poisoned Lu Miao’s water to try to knock her out, Gu Shiyan looked at her with a bone-piercing coldness.

Qin Shuang felt as if she had plunged into an icy abyss, and a shiver ran down her spine involuntarily.

Lu Qin, on the other hand, cursed inwardly at her own stupidity. How could such a simple task of drugging Lu Miao’s water be discovered by that countryside girl ahead of time, leading to a police report? She berated herself for being so useless!

The legal team from the Gu family, upon receiving the message from Gu Ziheng, had rushed to the scene, and now they stood respectfully outside the door, awaiting Gu Shiyun’s instructions.

Gu Shiyan turned his head and said to Gu Ziheng, who was at the door, “Bring your second sister-in-law and the old lady downstairs. Ask the restaurant to send some desserts to fill their stomachs first.”

“Alright.”

Gu Ziheng nodded and turned to Lu Miao. ” Second Sister-in-law, let’s go.”

Knowing that he was worried about startling her grandmother, Lu Miao didn’t refuse. She extended her hand to help her grandmother and headed downstairs directly.

“I’m coming too! Sister-in-law, wait for me. What would you like to eat? I’ll go and get it for you,” Gu Jinxi, as Lu Miao’s loyal little fan, hurriedly followed behind.

After they all went downstairs, Gu Shiyun walked straight into the private room, closed the door, and locked it with a cold expression on his face.

Lu Qin, witnessing this, couldn’t help but feel a sense of panic rising within her. She swallowed hard and said, “Mi… Mr Gu, we can sit down and have a good discussion if there’s something.”

Without waiting for Lu Qin to retreat or dodge, Gu Shiyun stepped forward, grabbed his neck, and pressed him against the wall with a loud thud.

Then, with a bang, he pressed him against the wall of the private room.

He looked at him with an extremely cold gaze, and her brows were filled with hostility.

“Didn’t I tell you that unless she’s willing, you are never allowed to appear in front of her again?” he said with a voice dripping with coldness.

Veins protruded on Gu Shiyun’s hand as he tightened his grip around Lu Qin’s neck. Despite being a middle-aged man, Lu Qin was helplessly pressed against the wall, his feet off the ground, without the slightest chance to resist.

He could only stutter and speak with difficulty, “M… Mr Gu, I really…l learnt my lesson… In the future… I won’t dare to do it again…”

However, the hand on his neck continued to tighten, showing no intention of letting him go.

Lu Qin struggled, and his face soon turned green. His eyes bulged out.

“Dad, Dad, how are you?”

Lu Siyu’s mind spun quickly. She gritted her teeth, suppressed her fear, and rushed forward. She reached out to hug Gu Shiyan’s arm and cried, “Brother Shiyan, please, please let my father go.”

Her makeup was pretty today, and now, tears were falling down her face. She looked like a weeping pear blossom, looking very pitiful. However, Gu Shiyan did not have any pity for her.

He directly shook her off.

He was never a good person, and in the past, he refrained from laying hands on women because they hadn’t crossed his bottom line. But when it came to Lu Miao, Qin Shuang, and the others wanting to harm her, it was not allowed!

Lu Siyu accidentally knocked over a chair in her attempt to escape, but before she could even cry out in pain, she collapsed to the ground, clutching her stomach.

Song Lin, who was used to arguing with people in the countryside at most, had never seen such a scene before. Her legs went weak, and she stood frozen in place.

Qin Shuang, on the other hand, was so frightened that she almost wet herself. Seeing Gu Shiyun in the act of strangling Lu Qin, she trembled and tried to take advantage of his distraction to open the door and run out..
