All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human-Chapter 104: Onlookers Watch the Love-Brained Brother Dig His Own Grave (Part 51)
"Yanyan!"
"Let’s talk this out. I don’t want the Gu Family, it’s all yours. I know I’ve wronged you in the past, I won’t get involved with Lan Yazhen anymore, alright?"
Qiann Yan turned back, standing in front of Gu Jingkui: "The Gu Family was originally mine, and your share has already been abandoned for Lan Yazhen. Whether you deal with Lan Yazhen or not, it has nothing to do with me. You’re free now, you can do whatever you want. If you want to pack your things, you can do so anytime."
"Yanyan, can’t you forgive your brother just this once?"
"There were many opportunities before, but you didn’t seize them."
Gu Jingkui stood there stunned, watching Qiann Yan’s disappearing figure.
Later, Gu Jingkui came many times, but without receiving forgiveness, he chose to rent a place to live. He didn’t pack up the Gu Family’s things, he came every day waiting for Qiann Yan, but after the first day, he never got a chance to talk to her again.
He received another call from Lan Yazhen, she was crying sadly. It was still Father Lan who had gambled and owed money. She only said this before crying, not asking him for money directly, but he knew she was expecting him to follow up.
He advised Lan Yazhen to cut ties with Father Lan, and hung up the phone.
But soon, he received a call from Father Lan, saying those people had kidnapped Lan Yazhen.
He still ignored it, but shortly after, a video of Lan Yazhen appeared on his phone. She was tied up, and the other party lightly ran a blade across her cheek, leaving a small red mark.
The person in the video threatened him, saying if he didn’t pay up, they didn’t mind broadcasting something else live to him.
He ultimately couldn’t stand it and had to compromise, sending the money over.
"Yazhen, it’s best you leave your father. Next time, I really won’t be able to save you," Gu Jingkui said, "The Gu Family has nothing to do with me, and I have no money. Next time, I really can’t do anything."
Lan Yazhen didn’t believe it, thinking that even if Gu Jingkui wasn’t in charge of the Gu Family, he’s still Qiann Yan’s brother. His feelings had changed, and he was unwilling to treat her well anymore.
Gu Jingkui found a job to survive, going to the Gu Family whenever he had time, hoping for forgiveness.
Half a year later, Lan Yazhen got into trouble again, with Father Lan owing money once more; people with a gambling addiction have a hard time quitting.
"I really have no money left," Gu Jingkui said over the phone to Father Lan, "Call the police."
"You can’t call the police, it will kill Yazhen," Father Lan said anxiously.
Gu Jingkui: "Then I really can’t help."
"Mr. Gu, please ask Miss Gu for help. After all, you two are siblings..."
Before Father Lan finished, Gu Jingkui interrupted him angrily: "I’ve already separated from the Gu Family, not because I wanted to, but because my sister doesn’t want me anymore. I have nothing left, what more do you two want?"
"Yazhen is really pitiful. She has been talking about you all the time recently, I didn’t expect you to be so heartless, watching her die. I misjudged you."
Gu Jingkui heard the busy tone on the phone, feeling an uncontrollable anger inside.
Gu Jingkui did call the police, and not long after, Lan Yazhen was rescued, but she had been beaten up, bruised and swollen.
It turned out this time she wasn’t really kidnapped, instead, Father Lan had colluded with others, and it was Father Lan who had beaten her.
Father Lan was caught and sentenced, and among the others, two managed to escape.
Lan Yazhen scolded Gu Jingkui, saying things could be negotiated, why did he have to let Father Lan get caught.
Gu Jingkui had long realized his mistake, knowing it was wrong from the very start.
One day after work, Gu Jingkui was attacked.
Someone rushed up and started hitting him with a baseball bat while his two bodyguards followed from a distance like he instructed. They didn’t react in time. By the time they caught up and subdued the attackers, Gu Jingkui was lying on the ground, sweating from the pain.
These two were the gamblers who previously conspired with Father Lan to scam money and failed.
