Chapter 732: Redemption
Su Shen’s expression was even more excited. “We don’t need to worry about Master Liu. He’s very good. His people brought Lu Yan to the hospital, and instantly, the door of his house of blocked. But Master Liu wasn’t even home. Instead, he was already in the hospital ward. The reporters immediately rushed over, and Master Liu rewarded them with a livestream. In front of everyone, he calmly broke off the engagement with Lu Yan.”
Su Shen played the video.
Lu Yan leaned against the headboard and looked very haggard. She was crying pitifully.
Gu Nian, who was on camera, was as gentle as jade. His voice was calm. “Lu Yan, do you still remember how you knelt in front of me and begged me back then? You said that you had nowhere else to go. If you want to be recognized by the Gu family and gain a firm foothold in the Gu family, you must make the Gu family think that you are valuable. As long as I can help you, you will repay me for the rest of your life.
“I am a person who values profit above all else. It’s agreed that our relationship is purely based on benefits. Lu Yan, you wouldn’t have forgotten about that, would you?”
Lu Yan’s tears fell like rain, and she said in a trembling voice, “Master Liu, that might be the case at first, but I have fallen in love with you. I treat you sincerely. Even if you always have someone else in your heart, I still love you with all my heart! I know I was wrong. I know I’ve let you down, but please forgive me. As long as you let me stay by your side, I’ll repay you with everything I’ve got!”
She struggled to get up, but she was still too weak. Some in the crowd were already crying.
Gu Nian didn’t get angry. His tone was even. “I’m sorry. Our relationship has always been purely business for me. I don’t know when you fell in love with me. Plus, if you’re telling the truth, then how can you explain sleeping with another man. I don’t think I have the magnanimity to forgive my woman for sleeping with another man.”
Lu Yan cried, “I’m sorry. I was blinded by greed. Please forgive me. I won’t do it again. Gu Nian, I’ll be your slave. Please forgive me.”
Gu Nian said plainly, “I don’t need a slave. I’m a businessman. Everything needs to be calculated and accounted for. I’m sorry that I can’t satisfy your need for love. So there’s no need for us to continue working together. In the end, Master Gu Er and I are still friends. Please save some face for both our families!
“I don’t need you to return the money and things I’ve given you all these years. As for you, you just need to stop appearing in front of me. From the day you betrayed me, it was over between us. Please don’t bind me with morality. Your father, Master Gu Er, knows my past very well. If you think that you can make me forgive you by kneeling at my door, then you’re gravely mistaken. If you don’t believe me, just continue kneeling. We’ll see who will be humiliated in the end.”
Gu Nian turned around and faced the reporters. “Thank you for your trust to elect me to be the president. I have not done this before, but to ensure that I can focus, I will be fully dedicated to the welfare of the island for the next decade. A personal relationship is not part of the plan. I’m incompetent for being betrayed by a woman, and I’ve disappointed everyone.”
