My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 884: The Person Who Deeply Hurt Him

My heart truly aches.

Why is it that every time, it is a close relative who ruthlessly stabs me in the back?

The first time it was my mother, which resulted in me sitting in a wheelchair for several years, the second time it was my brother, who took away the woman I loved, and the third time it was my father, who framed me, harming Ye Lu and the child.

Gu Yan felt an immense surge of anger welling up from the depths of his heart, he hated, he hated every single one of them, everyone who had hurt him so deeply.

"Yan, even if it wasn’t grandma, you still need to explain this to everyone, after all, it concerns the heir of the Jun Family," Old Madam Jun said, her voice fraught with sorrow. She didn’t want to doubt, but the evidence related to this matter seemed to suggest that there was a significant inside story.

Ye Wanli wouldn’t have accused Gu Yan for no reason!

"I didn’t do it, there’s no need for explanation!" Gu Yan’s icy gaze was cutting, sweeping over Jun Shi like a cold blade, making Jun Shi’s heart skip a beat and avert his eyes out of guilt.

However, the shareholders said, "We have eyewitnesses; you can’t just say you didn’t do it and expect us to believe you!"

Gu Yan coldly watched Ye Wanli’s trembling body.

"You believe the words of such trash? Didn’t you see him spouting nonsense just now, outright slandering with no proof?"

"But how do you explain that photo then, if it wasn’t you, why would you give money to him? This is a key piece of evidence, irrefutable proof."

Gu Yan replied coldly, "You already said it’s irrefutable proof, how can I even explain? If I did, would anyone believe me?"

He scoffed inwardly, would anyone believe his explanation?

Everyone only sees the surface, all they see is "irrefutable proof," others get framed, and then I get framed— is this karma? But why doesn’t karma come for those who have wronged me far more cruelly?

"I believe it wasn’t you who did it," Ye Lu suddenly spoke up.

Her words surprised everyone; the evidence was overwhelming, and wasn’t Ye Lu the person who should hate Gu Yan the most? And now, unexpectedly, she was saying she believed he was innocent.

It was truly unforeseen.

"Are you pitying me?" There was sarcasm tinting Gu Yan’s otherwise expressionless face.

"If you did it, do you think I would let you off?" Ye Lu’s gaze was complex as she looked at him, "But having known you for so many years, even if I have never fully understood you, at the very least I know you wouldn’t stoop to such despicable means."

So many years? Third Young Master Jun suddenly seized on these words, his emotions turning complex. Ye Lu and Gu Yan had known each other for many years?

Weren’t they supposed to have met only this year? He had always thought that Gu Yan, in order to avenge the fact that he took away his wife years ago, deliberately targeted Ye Lu when he saw Third Young Master Jun’s affection for her.

But from the sound of Ye Lu’s voice, they had known each other for a long time— exactly how long?

His breathing became rapid, overwhelmed by a strong sense of unease.

"Ha, in the end, only you believe in me. How ironic!" Gu Yan’s pale face showed an indifferent expression, "But because of you, some things, some people became clear to me! However, this doesn’t mean, I am grateful to you."

"I don’t need your gratitude," Ye Lu said calmly as she looked at him.

Her purpose was straightforward; this whole charade was meant to expose Jun Shi’s true nature in front of Gu Yan, to let him know that Jun Shi had used him, causing this father and son, who outwardly seemed loving and filial, to turn against each other and fight amongst themselves.

Secondly, seeing Gu Yan face the painful truth, she also felt a bit of pity.

"Actually, I hate you for shattering my last beautiful dream and illusion. Sometimes, I’d rather not know the truth."

Gu Yan laughed sardonically, then turned around and left coldly.
