Chapter 872: Chapter 872: An Ingenious Gift (Part 3)
She recalled asking her sister-in-law how her brother went from hating her to liking her.
Her sister-in-law hesitated for a long time before saying, because she accidentally slept with him...
But she couldn’t even touch Yue Siqing.
He could tolerate everything about her, except for that one thing.
As long as she crossed the line, his face would turn terrifyingly grim, making her dare not to step over the line easily.
Could he really only see her as a sister?
Gu Anjin wiped away her tears forcefully; she didn’t believe it!
Outside the door, Yue Siqing’s face lost the brief moment of anger, his handsome face tightened, eyes frightening, yet revealing a touch of embarrassment that seemed out of place on him.
He kept a stern face as he quickly left the corridor, returning to his room and entering the bathroom.
Cold water sprayed from the shower.
After purposely avoiding her for years, he didn’t expect that the problem of getting hard with a simple touch from her still couldn’t be fixed.
The cold water flowed down his face, and on that usually unsmiling face, the corner of his lips curled with a trace of self-mockery.

In the deep night, in a high-end apartment at the center of Rongcheng, one room remained brightly lit through the night.
Crying sounds continuously emanated from the room, having gone on like this for three hours.
Xue Ru walked back and forth with a sunken expression in the living room.
Gu Fangming sat aside not knowing what to do, especially when looking at his wife’s expression, he dared not say anything.
After a long while, he finally sighed, "You know very well, Gu Annan could never be with Shuman. Just look at what he’s done; he won’t allow anyone to touch that woman."
"So what!"
"Aren’t you causing harm!" Gu Fangming didn’t understand, "You’re still giving Shuman hope, misleading her, tempting her; what if she gets some bad ideas?"
Xue Ru laughed coldly.
She was worried that she wouldn’t have that ambition!
"You see, once the old lady’s birthday banquet is over, he will surely persuade the old lady to remarry Lu Wanwan. Even though the old lady isn’t fond of her, those two children are precious to her now! After all, she is their mother."
Under the bright lights, Xue Ru’s face appeared grim and pale.
Upon hearing the hoarse crying from the room, she clenched her fists tighter.
It was precisely because of this that Gu Annan removed this obstacle for her, allowing Lu Wanwan to enter the Gu Family more smoothly.
Ha, but what did she get?
For so many years, she tried every way to please that old woman, becoming the most trusted and close person to her here, all efforts went to waste.
In the end, what did she get?
Gu Annan treated her daughter like this, yet that old woman ignored it!
Now watching that woman’s status in the Gu Family gradually stabilize, while they have no future to speak of anymore.
Gu Annan and Lu Wanwan ruined Gu Yunsi’s life!
What was their fault? They only wanted to have a place in the Gu Family.
Why could only their family hold all the power in the Gu Family?
Gu Fangming is also a Gu, why couldn’t he get a share of the benefits?
If they didn’t hold the power in the Gu Family so tightly, would she need to interfere in Gu Annan’s marriage over such trivial things?
So, all of this, it was entirely their fault!
Looking at her incompetent husband, Xue Ru felt even more hatred gnawing at her.
Wasn’t everything she did for him?
"Yes, you’re right. Once the birthday banquet is over, Gu Annan and Lu Wanwan’s wishes will be fulfilled!" Xue Ru sneered.
Gu Fangming felt guilty under her gaze, suddenly hearing a knock on the door from outside.
