Chapter 464: Creating Opportunities

n if the door lock broke, whether it would make noise for no reasonAt the time, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just a hallucination caused by work stress. Now that he thought abo...Lu Yaoyao guessed right, Gu Ruandong would still give Zhuo Yunan face, so he was willing to make time for Shu Tinglan. Besides, Gu Ruanruan this time was also determined not to listen to his arrangements and go abroad. He wanted to hear what she planned to do.

"I found a job at Senzhou University, and I'll be starting next month."

Gu Ruandong listened impassively, without a word, showing no interest in what she had to say or any concern for her.

"I finished my studies ahead of schedule and won several awards. Senzhou University is very satisfied with me, and the treatment in all aspects is very good. I can support myself without my brother's sponsorship in the future."

Gu Ruandong still looked uninterested, but this time he replied, "That's good."

Then she turned and instructed her secretary, Xiao Cai, to stop the monthly automatic payments to her. After giving the order, she didn't forget to say to Ruan Ruan: "This is a truly fair conversation, don't you think"

Three short sentences, and instantly all of Gu Ruannuan's sources of livelihood were cut off. It was cruel and ruthless.

"No problem." Gu Ruannuan didn't feel bad at all. He was right, only by no longer accepting his sponsorship could she have the power to talk to him as an equal.

Next, Shu Tinglan briefly mentioned Gu Ruannan's demands to Gu Ruandong. All she wanted was the house and shops her father had left her.

“Mr. Shu, what if I don’t” He listened and simply refused in one sentence, clear and concise.

“Miss Gu’s only option then is to sue. At that point, it probably won't just be about one house and one shop. When Mr. Gu passed away, 29% of the shares of Gu Group were in his name. This means that both you and Miss Gu have equal inheritance rights to these 29% shares. As for Mr. Gu’s fixed assets and other investments from back then, we will also hire a professional company to assess them.” Shu Tinglan was being realistic. She knew her words wouldn't convince Gu Ruandong, but she just wanted him to know that Ruan Ruan only wanted one shop and one house, which wasn't greedy at all.

"Mr. Shu, do you know what a will is"

Shu Tinglan was stunned and looked at Gu Ruannuan. At first, she had made it very clear that her father had passed away suddenly and had not left any will. Gu Ruannuan also looked puzzled. She didn't remember there being a will.

Shu Tinglan quickly reacted and asked Gu Ruandong to show the will to Gu Ruanruan. As the legal heir, she had the right to see the will.

Gu Ruandong sneered: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient. If you really want to see the will, sue me."

After ruthlessly refusing, Gu Ruandong seemed to have run out of patience: "Do you two have anything else If not, Xiao Cai will see you off."

Xiao Cai was just about to ask them to leave when Gu Ruan Dong suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, I promised President Zhu to treat you to a meal."

Shu Tinglan: "Eating is not necessary. If Mr. Gu insists on not letting Miss Gu see the will, we can only go to court."

"Brother, did Grandpa really make a will Did he clearly state that the commercial property in the business district was left to me" Since Gu Ruandong said there was a will, there must be one. She didn't doubt it.

"Gu Ruanruan, what are you going to do with that commercial building Give it to that woman Where's your head"

He saw through her at once, penetrating to the core of the matter. Gu Ruannuan's mouth opened and closed, but no words came out. She wanted to say that the shop would be her ransom money, a one-time payment to her mother, and then it was settled. No more contact, bridges burned, paths parted. She was going to embark on a new life.

Gu Ruantong sighed, "With your IQ, you're going to teach at Sun Yat-sen University Are you sure you won't mislead the next generation"

The greed and wickedness of human beings cannot be satisfied by just one commercial property. Today you give them a shop, tomorrow they'll ask for a house. As soon as they see your soft heart, they'll latch onto you like leeches, clinging on tight and impossible to get rid of. What do you do in this situation Whatever part of your body they are sucking on, cut that part off. The wound will heal quickly anyway.

Shu Tinglan listened on the side, she didn't expect another woman to be brought up. She guessed that it was probably Gu Ruannuan's biological mother, so Gu Ruannuan wanted that set of house and shops to give to her mother

Today's situation was a bit beyond her expectations. The fact of the will alone was unexpected enough, disrupting their previous plan, so she decided to end this conversation first and set up another time.

Gu Ruandong didn't speak any further and let them leave.

Both of them were a little down. Shu Tinglan felt that he hadn't done well at work and had missed a lot of useful information, while Gu Ruannuan thought about what Gu Ruandong had said, "What about your brain"

She didn't not understand the truth that greed leads to ruin. She just wanted to cut ties with the past and start anew, so she only wanted to satisfy her mother. After all, then she could live out the rest of her days in peace, never seeing or interacting with her again.

The two of them got off the elevator in the parking garage, but to their surprise, Zhuo Yu'an and Lu Kuò were still there. Their car was parked next to hers, waiting for them.

Shu Tinglan saw Zhuo Yuyan and her slightly downcast mood immediately brightened. She walked over and said, "You don't really worry that Gu Ruandong will do something to me, do you"

Zuo Yu'an also smiled, hugged her, and frankly admitted, "It is a bit."

Actually, because of the cooperation with Gu Ruandong recently, I've spent more time with him than in the past twenty years combined. So, I understand him better now. He doesn't play by the rules and can be a bit unsettling, but he's very clear-headed and won't do anything reckless.

He threw his car keys to Lu Kuo.

"You're taking Miss Gu, aren't you I'll drive the Tinglan."

Lu Kuo took the car keys and glanced at Gu Ruanruan: "Let's go."

Gu Ruanruan hurriedly ran over and got into the car. Before leaving, she said, "Lawyer Shu, I'll contact you later."

"Good." Shu Tinglan smiled and waved at her.

After their car drove away, she smiled at Zhuo YUAN and said, “Did you purposely create opportunities for them”

"No, I am creating opportunities for myself."

Shu Tinglan smiled: "Then what delicious food will you treat me to at noon"

What do you want to eat

"That's fine."

Two people got in the car, one on each side. Since it was lunchtime, they were both thinking about work, so they just ate a quick meal before he drove her to the law firm.

I'll drive your car away first and pick you up after work this afternoon.

"Good."

Both of them were clear about boundaries between their public and private lives. After that, Shu Tinglan never asked about his collaboration with Gu Ruandong again, and Zhuo Y uan also refrained from asking about her case. In life, they took care of each other, and at work, they remained independent. This must be the ideal state of life that Shu Tinglan could understand.

Of course, she was satisfied. Zhu Yu'an, however, still felt something was lacking, namely the marriage certificate. This was his obsession; without it, he never felt secure. Every time Zhu Yu'an brought it up, Shu Tinglan would just dodge the question and give him no straight answer.aid, "Then you can search for the answer on a certain search engine. My brother loves me too much, what should I do"She and Lu Kuo both disliked each other, yet they were inseparable and had to be bou...
