When Gu Yuanzhou heard this, he finally showed a meaningful smile.
He carried on with his own tea.
"I warned you not to go to Tianjiao, not to fantasize that Ding Yinuo could help you! Isn't this your own doing now?"
"Gu Yuanzhou! If it were a fair competition, you wouldn't stand a chance!"
"Can you still talk to me so defiantly now?"
"What do you want then?"
I tried my best to control my emotions.
I wanted to negotiate with Gu Yuanzhou, trying to seize his weak points.
But after thinking about it, he didn't leave me much room to manoeuvre, this man was too cunning—everything done without a single leak, without any loopholes.
"So tell me, what value do you have?"
"Gu Yuanzhou, if you're willing to step down, I can return to the Zhenyi Company. I can even move back to the Maple Mansion, as long as you let the Ding family off the hook."
Gu Yuanzhou paused the actions of his tea-making to take a long look at me,
"I didn't expect that for Ding Yinuo, you can go so far."
