Bigshot Gives in to His Wife Again
Chapter 4

Chapter 4

“Stop the car.”

Gu Shiyan retracted his gaze from the computer and interrupted her.

“Brother, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Gu Xingyu hurriedly asked.

The chauffeur nervously parked the car by the roadside.

Gu Shiyan glanced at her. ” Get out of the car. You can sit in the car behind. ”

Gu Xingyu glared at Lu Miao. ” I don’t want it. This country bumpkin who snatched Siyu’s engagement is not a good person. Who knows what she’s up to now? I won’t get off and let her have her way.”

The car behind also stopped, and the chauffeur came forward to ask what was happening.

Gu Shiyan said directly,” Take Xingyu over there.”

Gu Xingyu was angry and resentful. She knew that this country bumpkin was not a good person.

She didn’t know what kind of sorcery she used on her second brother, but he was defending her even after only exchanging a few words, and even wanted to chase her out of the car.

Gritting her teeth, she gave Lu Miao a warning look and threatened, ” If anything happens to my second brother when we get home, I won’t spare you. ”

“Got it.” Lu Miao replied lazily.

Gu Xingyu snorted and left the car.

Gu Shiyan said,”I’m sorry. Xingyu is too naive. There are many things that she can’t distinguish between true and false. I apologize to you on her behalf.”

“I don’t mind.” Lu Miao said indifferently.

It was normal for Gu Xingyu, who had been pampered since she was young, to be brainwashed. After suffering a few setbacks, she would learn for herself.

Moreover, she had no intention of staying in the Gu family forever anyway, so it didn’t matter what Gu Xingyu thought of her.

Gu Shiyan looked at her. ” I know that you didn’t come to the Gu family willingly. Don’t worry, I will send you away after everything is over.”

When everything is over? Lu Miao raised her eyebrows slightly. She was afraid that he would have died even before everything is over.

Gu Shiyan saw her reaction and smiled.”What do you want to say?”

Lu Miao said directly, ” You’re going to die soon. ”

Hearing this, Gu Shiyan not only didn’t get angry but instead chuckled lightly.

” Isn’t this a fact acknowledged by everyone? ” he asked.

Lu Miao shook her head. ” They’re just spreading rumors. I’m telling you what I’ve seen. ”

Gu Shiyan looked at her with interest.”Then what did you see?”

“I see a strange power on your body that is devouring your vitality.”

Lu Miao did not hide anything from him and told him the truth.

Gu Shiyan did not expect Lu Miao to have such an ability.

His strange illness was bizarre, but nothing could be detected.

Apart from top doctors from all over the world, his grandma also had many masters replace help.

Some said that he was cursed, some said that it was a feng shui problem, and some said that he was poisoned. There were all sorts of rumors.

Lu Siyu was scared off by the rumors that she broke off the engagement, but this little girl didn’t care and took it on.

He sneered, ” Aren’t you afraid? ”

“Afraid of what?” Lu Miao replied indifferently.

Gu Shiyan laughed at himself. “Afraid that I really did what the rumors said, and held this engagement to use your life to prolong mine?”

Lu Miao said calmly, ” There’s no one in this world who can borrow my life. ”

No one could play such tricks in front of a top-notch metaphysics master.

This was also the reason why she dared to come to the Gu family.

If the Gu family really had such an idea, who knew who would be the unlucky one?

The corners of Gu Shiyan’s lips curled up. This little girl from the Lu family who had been brought back from the countryside seemed to be very extraordinary.

She was the same age as Lu Siyu and Gu Xingyu, only 16 years old this year.

But her confidence and composure in her words were completely unlike what she should have at her age.

It was really interesting.

He smiled and asked, ” Then how long do you think I have left to live? ”

Lu Miao tilted her head slightly and looked him up and down carefully. She then replied seriously, ” Three days. ”

Gu Shiyan lowered his eyes slightly and gently turned the peach stone bracelet on his wrist. ” Three days is enough. ”

As for what was enough, he did not elaborate, and Lu Miao did not ask.

She was not interested in the fights between wealthy families.

“I’m sorry to have implicated you. I’ll arrange for the aftermath as soon as possible. After I leave, someone will send you away from the Gu family. In addition to those dowries, I’ll compensate your separately.”

Gu Shiyan’s expression was calm, and his voice was calm. At this moment, he didn’t speak like he was leaving a will, but rather like some trivial matters before a business trip.

“I’m just looking for a legitimate reason to leave the Lu family. We’re using each other, so let’s call it even.” Lu Miao said frankly.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have immediately asked him to write a contract. They would not directly admit that they are also using him.

Gu Shiyan looked at her indifferent eyes and knew that she really did not care. He chuckled and said nothing more.

Compared to a real top-notch wealthy family like the Gu family, the Lu family could only be considered a pseudo-wealthy family at most.

The Gu family manor occupied a separate area in Luo City.

It took ten minutes for the car to drive from the main gate to the inner gate.

The servants who were tending to the plants by the roadside stopped their work and respectfully bowed to them when they saw the car enter.

Inside the estate are several small buildings arranged in a zigzag pattern.

The engagement this time was special and not a big one.

Only two red lanterns were hung on both sides of the main building’s entrance according to the ancient tradition.

After getting off the car, the few of them entered the hall together. After Gu Shiyan greeted them, he turned around and left in a hurry again.

Lu Miao didn’t mind and casually looked around the living room.

On the left wall of the living room, there were a few statues of the Three Pure Ones and a faint scent of sandalwood permeated the entire hall along with the burning incense.

Above the front door, there was a small bronze mirror hanging on the wall. In addition to these, the Five Emperors’ coins, peach wood branches inserted in blue-and-white porcelain, peach kernel bracelets, and red bean necklaces for warding off evil spirits could be seen everywhere.

Thinking about it, the Lu family probably approached many masters. However, these so-called masters probably did not have any real ability.

These things were placed together randomly. Not only were they useless, but over time, they would also ruin the feng shui of the house.

Not sure which master had come up with this stupid idea of engagement to ward off bad luck.

Shen Qinghe personally brought her to the guest room upstairs and said with a gentle smile, ” You’ve seen Shiyan’s condition. We didn’t want to hide anything from you. He’s not in a good condition now. We really have no choice but to take this step. We want to try one last time.”

As she spoke, her eyes turned red. She quickly raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes and forced a smile. ” Don’t worry. Our Gu family won’t harm anyone, and we won’t take your life to extend Shiyan’s. This is his fate. Regardless of the outcome, these dowries are yours.”

Recently, because of Gu Shiyan’s matter, she was already exhausted.

The only reason she could still hold on was because of her maternal instinct.

Her husband had passed away early, and the only son in the family who could support her was about to leave. T With the elderly at home and the young ones to take care of, no matter how sad she was, she couldn’t collapse.

Lu Miao wanted to comfort her, but at this point, no matter what she said, it was too pale.

She thought for a moment and said, “Auntie Shen, can I go and take a look at Gu Shiyan’s room?”
