why not guard your sweetheart instead Make her want to take her own life on the spot, that would scare the elders."Shen Wanci just wanted to get rid of him quickly. If she wasn't afraid that Jiang Y...Chapter 789: The New Landlord

Bao Jingzhou absentmindedly said, "Being forced by you"

Gu Chenye coldly said, "I force her What did I use to force her to drive her insane You think with her temperament, who dares to force her"

Yanji always believed in action over words. Over the years, she had beaten so many people that she couldn't count them on all her fingers.

"People aren't machines. When the pressure gets too high, their minds will inevitably falter. Even if you had machines worth hundreds of thousands, they would still start to smoke after working for a while," he took a deep breath, gently moving Shen Wanci's leg from his lower abdomen, "The people Yan Ji struck, weren't all innocent either."

"What about Na Qianwei The little girl who would blush at even a harsh word, now has one leg broken; Zhao Chenrui is sick and has locked himself in the room awaiting death; Yun Yao went abroad and almost got into trouble; Feng family went bankrupt, Feng Tiandao's father committed suicide, and to pay off debts, she became a mistress to a sixty-year-old man. Each of these incidents, which one doesn't have Yanji's hand in it"

However, Yanji's most remarkable skill was her ability to emerge unscathed from these situations. Everyone knew she was behind them, but there was never any concrete evidence to prove it.

"You and her should split up. You couldn't leave before, but now that she's taking the initiative, it's the best opportunity. Getting a divorce is like hitting the reset button. You'll be free."

“......”

How could Gu Chenye not know this was the best opportunity, to divorce Yan Ji and draw a clear line between them.

Possible…

Those people are all Mu Yunyao's friends and they don't have much of a relationship with you. You don't need to risk your own future for them. If you resent her because of Mu Yunyao, there's even less reason to waste time on her. Instead of wasting time on her, why not go abroad and bring people back

Given Yan Ji's ostentatious manner, once she lost the backing of Madam Gu, those who wanted to cause her trouble would undoubtedly be countless. Right now, these people are deterred by the Gu family and dare not go too far. But if the two were to divorce, and Gu Chenye even slightly showed his displeasure towards her, many people would try to curry favor with him by making things difficult for Yan Ji.

"It's over."

Gu Chenye hung up the phone with a blank expression, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, but the more he smoked, the more agitated he became. He finally snuffed it out, turned around, and left the study.

Bedroom.

Yanji had already fallen asleep, and even Gu Chenye's pushing open the door didn't wake her. The man stood by the bed, looking down at her.

The woman lay flat on her back, her long hair spread across the pillow. Her sleeping face was serene, showing not a hint of the frenzied energy she had displayed when smashing things earlier in the evening. Nor was there any trace of the feeling of being abandoned by the world that she had experienced in the car.

Gu Chenye sneered: "Sure enough, it's all an act."

His gaze fell on her fair and slender neck, his finger unconsciously caressing it, but he couldn't tell what he was thinking at this moment.

……

The next day, when Yan Ji just stepped into the studio, he was startled by Sheng Ru's dolphin-like voice: "What the hell is going on Which bastard did this, daring to smash up my shop. Xiao Bai, check the security footage."

"Sorry, it was me," Yan Ji came in earlier than usual today, wanting to tidy up the office before they started work, but she was still late. "I had a bit of a disagreement with Gu Chenye last night and lost control of my emotions. I'll replace all the damaged things, I'm sorry."

Upon hearing it was her who smashed it, Sheng Ruge's attitude underwent a complete 180-degree turn. He plastered a smile on his face and said, "You smashed it Well, that's alright then. These things were old anyway, smashing them is just an opportunity to get new ones."

After finishing her words, she winked playfully at Yan Ji: "Who was that handsome guy yesterday"

"Customer."

When it came to Xu Yanli, Yanji's attitude was cold and visibly disgusted.

“What did he do to upset you so much” "Upset" didn't quite feel right. She had taken his assignment, and even agreed to have dinner with him alone—not exactly the behavior of someone who disliked him. Was something that happened during dinner

"Not only did I hate him, but I hated his entire family for being alive."

All of them are selfish and self-centered things.

Shengru felt that Yanji's words were a bit strange. What did she mean by "living family" and "dead family" But seeing that Yanji didn't want to elaborate, she wisely kept quiet. Not everyone likes to expose their wounds and pour their hearts out to others.

She was just about to change the subject when her eyes froze, and she then raised her chin towards Yan Ji, gesturing toward the door: "The one you hate... no, God has arrived."

Yanji turned her head and saw Xu Yanli walking in with breakfast, a smile on his face. He probably knew he wasn't welcome, so before she could speak, he said his intention: "I'm here to negotiate with you about next year's rent increase."

"Huh" Sheng Ru Gu was about to leave, but upon hearing this, he stopped. "What do you mean"

Xu Yanli reached out to Yan Ji: "I'm sorry about last night, I lied to you. But I have a reason I can't say. Let me introduce myself again, Xu Yanli, your new landlord. This is the property certificate."

““……” Sheng Ru looked at Yan Ji mechanically, "Is the cost of pursuing women this high now"

This is seriously outrageous, it's like the plot of a bad drama! It's so cliche – that typical domineering CEO trope actually playing out in real life. It's cheesy, but they know how to manipulate people and hit their weak spots.

She curled her lips into a humorless smile, drawling, "Little Ji, you better get along well with our handsome and dashing new landlord. I'll go make a pot of good tea for you. This location is a bit too shabby, the surrounding commercial district isn't suitable either, and there aren't many people around..."

She gave Yanji a crazy look: "Ancestor, you really need to control your temper! You can't lose your cool with anyone, especially your landlord."

In the past, it was always Sheng Ru Gu who spoke in such roundabout ways. This time, however, she was direct and to the point: "How much do you want"

She had made up her mind. If his offer was too outrageous, she would beat him up. She couldn't do anything to Xu's parents, but she could vent her anger on Xu Yanli. As long as he wasn't killed or disabled, Meng Ran shouldn't be angry.

Xu Yanli looked at her clenched fists, instantly guessing her thoughts. He instinctively moved away from her. That night at the banquet, after he took Yanji to the lounge, he had been outside the entire time. Although he didn't see the process, he did hear those men wailing like ghosts and wolves the whole time. He also saw their miserable state afterward.

To be honest, a bit shady.

"I just want to know, why do you hate me so much Why do you hate the Xu family"

Yanji frowned: "What does this have to do with rent"

Over the next three years, rent will not increase. Of course, if it drops, it will be adjusted according to market prices.

Given the recent two years of soaring rent prices, this condition is undoubtedly a stroke of luck.

Yan Ji looked at him, her eyes heavy with a shadow: "Because of your Xu family..."me obediently."Just tell me your name. It's late at night, and it's not safe for a man and a woman to be alone together.Bo Jingzhou's face was no longer merely hard to look at. He gripped the doorknob...
