Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 979: Maybe You Really Can

"Ling Qian is different from me, he has always been filial. If you lead the old man’s grandson astray, the old man won’t spare you either. Is this the life you want?"

Gu Beicheng glanced at her and walked over to sit on the sofa.

Xia Yinian blinked and withdrew her gaze.

Indeed, with her current identity, starting anew outside is really awkward.

"You mean, hoping I join the Imperial Group?" After contemplating for a while, Xia Yinian raised her gaze again.

She knew very well Ling Qian’s position in the Gu Family. Compared to Uncle, he was indeed much more compliant.

"Wrong, you can still carry out your plan." Gu Beicheng crossed his long legs, lazily leaning against the sofa.

This man was truly bewitching; even a casual gesture could be so captivating. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Knowing clearly this was not the time to be infatuated, Xia Yinian muttered and took a deep breath, restraining thoughts she shouldn’t have.

"I don’t understand what Uncle means, could you please clarify?" She returned to sit by the bed, lowering her head.

"I need a genuinely capable Alchemy Team, not only to serve the Imperial Group but more importantly for my mom’s treatment."

Mentioning the Old Madam, Gu Beicheng’s breath changed.

Xia Yinian was very aware of Uncle’s deep love for Grandma, so despite many people thinking of him as cold-blooded, she didn’t share this view.

At least, he could be said to be meticulous about his own mom.

As a son, not just any son but an exceptionally talented one, unable to save his own mom, Uncle must feel bad inside.

"What’s exactly happening with Grandma’s condition? Yu Wanqing said..." She blinked, but didn’t continue her sentence.

Gu Beicheng lightly furrowed his thick eyebrows, his gaze not on Xia Yinian.

Knowing she was aware of this matter, his mood improved a little. At least she wanted to clear her relationship not out of fear.

"For the past two years, I have been searching for methods, and there’s an Alchemy Team behind me, but unfortunately, we are still helpless regarding mom’s illness."

"The old man from the Yu Family said they found a way, but only if I get engaged to Yu Wanqing will they start treatment."

Gu Beicheng raised an eyebrow, unexpectedly feeling no anger after revealing he was being threatened, perhaps due to the little girl’s reaction.

"And you..." Before the words could come out, Xia Yinian instinctively stopped.

Why did she walk over? Staring at the man before her, she pressed her lips tightly and cautiously sat on the sofa.

Her heart felt blocked by a massive stone, uncomfortable, and stifled; she took a deep breath and softly said, "Saving Grandma is crucial."

Ever since knowing Grandma could be saved, Uncle’s engagement to Yu Wanqing had basically become a fact.

She just didn’t know saying this herself would be so challenging.

"But I don’t want to get engaged to Yu Wanqing." Gu Beicheng shot her a glance, slightly furrowing his thick eyebrows.

The coldness from just now had been suppressed, replaced by a hint of playful charm.

However, Xia Yinian felt bad inside, completely missing his change.

"But..." Xia Yinian fluttered her eyelashes, raising her eyes to look at the side of the man’s face.

"You also said you’ve been searching for a method. Even though Yuan Yaying and I are wholeheartedly devoted to this research, we can’t guarantee anything."

"Maybe, you truly can." Gu Beicheng straightened his posture, gazing down at the girl before him.
