Chapter 23 As Long as You Work Hard Enough

  "Lin Yue'er!"

  Her repeated disregard finally enraged Gu Wangchuan. From tonight on, he had a burning fire in his chest and wanted to find a place to vent it out, but she just happened to bump into him!

  He pulled her over, pinning her to the sofa, his hands pressing down on her shoulders, rendering her immobile. "Once someone has been marked with my name, Gu Meng Chuan, even if they're trash I've discarded, no one else is allowed to pick them up! Did you hear me?!"

  Lin Yue'er's head was splitting with pain, and she was firmly pinned down by him. She wanted to push him away, but his hands were like lead weights, stuck to her body. The fire that had been smoldering in her heart suddenly burst out, like molten lava pouring out of a furnace, scorching hot.

  "If I'm trash, why do you care so much?" A hint of bitterness spread in her obscure eyes, "Gu Wangchuan, I've never interfered with your life, so please don't come and disturb mine."

  Gu Wangchuan stared at her, suddenly smiled, his fingers clenched as if they were about to dig into her flesh, lowered his head, and touched the tip of his nose against hers, his eyes locked onto hers, "Don't you understand yet? This is the price of getting close to me..."

  He didn't go looking for her, but she took the initiative to barge into his life, so don't blame him for being ruthless.

  Compared to what her mother had done, he was just a minor case for her.

  Lin Yue'er bit her lip and averted her gaze, not wanting to show too much weakness. "I'll pay back the money I borrowed from your family as soon as possible."

  "You?" Gu Wangchuan sneered, "What can you repay me with? Every penny you earn now is given to you by me! Oh right, I heard your cousin wants to buy a house and is short of 2 million. Don't you see how much the check I gave you today is worth?"

  "Y-you... how did you know?"

  His tone was full of sarcasm and disdain, "Of course it's your good uncle who called me."

  At that moment, Lin Yueer really wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground. She was already insignificant enough in the Gu family, why did she still have to lose this last bit of dignity in front of Gu Wangchuan?

  Gu Wangchuan pinched her chin with one hand, and his eyes were full of sarcasm. "You should have heard your uncle's humble tone on the phone."

  Lin Yue'er shook off his hand, her chest heaving with emotion, her eyes misty as she said solemnly, "I will work hard, and I will pay back this money to you too."

  This was what Grandfather Gu had promised her from the start, as long as she worked hard for GL, she would be able to pay off the debt. So, she agreed to his terms without hesitation and married Gu Wangchuan.

  Gu Wangchuan suddenly stood up, standing in front of her like an emperor who could judge her at any time. He curled his thin lips and gave her a sly smile, "Perhaps, I'll provide you with a shortcut, so you can earn this money quickly."

  Lin Yue suddenly raised her head, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.

  He slid his fingers across her cheek, and soon slipped to her chest. Lin Yue'er's face turned red, and when she met his cruel gaze, the expectation in her heart cooled down again.

  She's really too naive, Gu Wangchuan hates her to death, how could he be kind enough to let her make money?

  All he can give is endless shame.

  Gu's large hand suddenly grasped her full chest, recklessly pinching and fondling, his hot breath scorching. "If you can please me, I might consider giving you a discount on your debt. Although this body doesn't have much allure, as long as you put in enough effort..."
