Chapter 740: Longing (2)
What is that man’s identity, always surrounded by bodyguards, who could easily hurt him?
Mu Yiliang comforted herself.
"Of course, I hope Daddy is okay too." Xiaoze continued browsing the webpage.
Mu Yiliang walked out, glanced at her phone, feeling a bit deflated.
What is he so busy with, why isn’t he returning her call?
At that moment, the phone suddenly rang!
Mu Yiliang was thrilled! But when she saw the caller ID, it was Gu Qingqian.
She sighed silently, answering: "Hello, what’s up?"
Gu Qingqian, perceptive of her mood: "You didn’t want me to call you, did you?"
"No, I’m waiting for an important call." Mu Yiliang had to explain.
Since being discharged from the hospital, this young master had become increasingly sensitive. Mu Yiliang didn’t dare show impatience in front of him.
Gu Qingqian was silent for a moment: "Yiliang, will you come with me to the Gu Family?"
...
Gu Benhong was jailed, all his assets liquidated, and the Fengye shares he held were all sold to repay his debts. After clearing his liabilities, the vast Gu Family was left with just this property.
Gu Qingqian stood outside the villa, a bit lost.
"This is where Mom... ended her life..." he said softly, "I lived here for nearly twenty years, never thought one day I’d be afraid to go inside."
The warm family collapsed overnight, and with all the servants dismissed, this place felt alarmingly empty.
"If you don’t want to go in, then don’t force yourself." Mu Yiliang gently comforted him.
He turned back and smiled at her: "Yiliang, I’m planning to sell this place. Dad put this property in my name a long time ago."
"Hmm." Mu Yiliang nodded slightly. For him, leaving behind the past environment and shadows should be a good thing.
"The money from selling it will be my start-up capital." His face showed a hint of ambition, "Yiliang, quit your job and come with me."
Mu Yiliang was taken aback.
The Gu Qingqian in front of her reminded her of that proud and arrogant boy from before.
She couldn’t help but smile: "Alright, I’ll resign tomorrow."
Gu Qingqian seemed slightly touched.
"Yiliang, do you think I can succeed?"
"You can." Mu Yiliang smiled slightly, "I believe in you."
"Then," Gu Qingqian’s tone was somewhat ethereal, "if I could achieve Yan Sijue’s level of success, would you love me?"
Mu Yiliang was stunned, gently shook her head.
Gu Qingqian didn’t seem surprised, his smile a bit bitter: "No matter what I do, it’s all useless, right? You’ll never love me, will you?"
"I don’t know if I will fall in love with you, but I know you’ll never reach Yan Sijue’s level." Mu Yiliang’s gaze was calm, "Everyone says he’s a genius, a miracle, but no one knows what he went through."
Gu Qingqian’s face turned pale, involuntarily pressed his lips.
"You don’t need to compare yourself with him." Mu Yiliang smiled faintly, "You should aim to be the first Gu Qingqian, not the second Yan Sijue."
"But in your heart, I’ll always be not as good as him." Gu Qingqian sounded like he was sulking.
Mu Yiliang glanced at him, didn’t speak.
But Gu Qingqian understood her meaning, and his expression turned even worse!
He knew he was being unreasonable, but the fact that she was beside him yet thinking about another man made him uncontrollably irritable.
At this moment, Mu Yiliang’s phone suddenly rang.
