Chapter 1467: Chapter 1466: They’re All Scheming
There were some words that Chu Xiran didn’t dare to say too fully; if Gong Qingwan came to her senses, went to investigate in person, and found that things were different from what she said, she might blow up again.
So, Chu Xiran left some room in her words, which also meant she left herself some leeway.
Gong Qingwan could easily guess such an outcome. She sneered and said, "Sure enough, they are all scheming, calculating everything, just waiting for me to step in."
Saying it like this, it indeed seemed like the case. Li Yan and Gu Tong, the couple, whatever they did, they always focused on psychological warfare.
Gong Qingwan, in her defense, had many worries, but even so, despite all precautions, there were still some lapses. A little carelessness and the opponent had already calculated it precisely, leaving no room for counterattack.
Thinking about today’s meeting, besides being irritable, she was angry. Gong Qingwan felt she was on the verge of falling ill. She quickly calmed her mood to avoid fainting.
"Go back and tell your father to keep a close watch, and don’t let any errors occur. Understand?" Gong Qingwan’s voice was very icy as if engulfed in winter.
Chu Xiran couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Gong Qingwan did not become suspicious, which was certainly a good thing. After going back, she had to remind her father sternly that this matter was no small affair and had to be handled well, otherwise, there was a risk of the Chu Family falling into decline.
If this matter goes wrong in their hands again, Gong Qingwan might completely turn her back on them and swallow the Chu Family.
Perhaps, because Chu Xiran was raised by Gong Qingwan, she understood Gong Qingwan’s temper and conduct very well, as well as how she thought and acted.
Gong Qingwan was still filled with anger against Li Yan, her heart wasn’t doing well, and her face was ghostly pale. Keeping alive was crucial. She took a pill out of her pocket and put it in her mouth. Chu Xiran immediately opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it over. At this moment, she no longer wanted to think about Chu Xiran’s schemes and put all her heart into dealing with Li Yan once and for all.
Chu Xiran finally escaped a disaster. Having been by Gong Qingwan’s side for so many years, it was her first time being grateful that Gong Qingwan didn’t lash out at her.
...
On the other side.
The meeting finally ended.
This battle could not have been fought more brilliantly.
Li Yan and a certain deputy classmate returned triumphantly.
Gu Tong naturally had no interest in remaining in the lounge next to the meeting room any longer. She directly took two steps for every three, walked out, and headed straight for Li Yan, saying, "You worked hard, you must be exhausted."
A soft smile appeared at the corner of Li Yan’s lips, as if this were a very ordinary matter, and he said, "Not tired."
Indeed not tired; making Gong Qingwan feel so oppressed, how could he feel tired?
The two of them couldn’t be more comfortable now, feeling particularly relaxed. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Gu Tong chuckled lightly and said, "You’re not tired, but the deputy classmate is. Do you want to have dinner together later?"
The deputy classmate quickly waved his hand and said, "Breakfast and lunch were already on the house, how can we let madam spend on dinner as well."
Gu Tong laughed heartily, not minding in the least, and said, "That’s not up to you. The family is hosting a meal and wants us to come back for a reunion, so we have to go back to eat."
With just this word "family," there was no need for further explanation—both understood what it meant.
The only thing they could call "home" was probably the Academy.
Just now, Li Yan and the deputy classmate were in a meeting, so they didn’t receive any news.
Gu Tong stayed outside, so she certainly received any news faster than them.
If interpreted in this way, it probably meant that something urgent happened at the Academy, so they were being summoned back, and dinner was provided.
Li Yan frowned slightly. He glanced around to ensure it was safe to speak at this moment, and said, "Didn’t we just come out of ’home’ not long ago? Why are we being summoned back so soon?"
