Cui Zhanyi, who had just recovered, turned pale again. Even Gu Meizhi’s lips turned pale.
“Old man Cui, Matriarch Cui, actually, you don’t have to worry even if you go to jail with Cui Peng.” Nangong Jue chuckled. “After all, you still have a grandson. I didn’t expect good results to come out of evil. Fortunately, Du Juan was decisive and divorced Cui Peng. Otherwise, Cui Chuancheng might have been implicated. But now, even if you die, you won’t implicate him. That child is a good student. His character and values don’t take after you. It’s a blessing in disguise…”
It sounded like she was comforting them, but the old couple felt even worse.
“Since you’re unwilling to collaborate with my wife, then…” Nangong Jue pulled Le Yao up. “Let’s not waste time. After all… our time is very precious. We can just ask Sui Yuan directly. Perhaps we can make a deal with her. After all, the Shen family is not as good as before…”
Le Yao nodded and walked out with Nangong Jue.
“I agree,” Gu Meizhi suddenly said.
Le Yao turned around. “What?”
“I agree to make a deal with you.” Gu Meizhi stood up shakily and walked up to Le Yao. “I’ll tell you anything you want to know, but you can’t touch the Cui family.” She and Cui Zhanyi were old. Even if they died, it didn’t matter. However, nothing could happen to his son, although that son wasn’t very good.
There was also her grandson Chuancheng. He was a good child. She could not let her grandson be implicated.
“Old Madam, I think you’re mistaken.” Le Yao smiled. “Now, you and the Cui family have no right to negotiate with me at all.”
“You—”
“Actually, even if you didn’t say it, I have already investigated. You all wanted Cui Na to die, but you didn’t expect Cui Na to leave behind a daughter. Now, you all want me to die. Unfortunately, I just can’t die…” Le Yao spread her hands. “Isn’t that infuriating?”
Nangong Jue couldn’t help but smile.
“Now, if you want to say that it’s worth a little more, perhaps I’ll be merciful and let Cui Peng off. However, if you still have the intention to use that information to negotiate with me, then you should get rid of that idea as soon as possible because I did want to make a deal with you in the beginning, but you rejected it, right?”
Le Yao pulled Nangong Jue to sit down again. “I want to know everything about Cui Na.” Sigh!
Gu Meizhi let out a long sigh and looked at Le Yao. “Let’s start with 50 years ago…”
To be precise, it was 56 years ago.
Gu Meizhi’s mother was Sui Yuan’s mother’s biological sister. Her sister was already dead, and there was only one child left. Hence, she brought her into the Gu family and raised her like her own daughter.
Because Sui Yuan and Gu Meizhi were only two years apart, they usually played together and had a good relationship..
