Gu Nian: "..."
...
Seeing Gu Nian in difficulty, Ji Yang's thin lips pursed slightly as he spoke indifferently, "Indeed, there's no need to trouble young master Jing. I'll gift this piece of land to Niannian as a Christmas present."
Gu Nian: "..."
Something was not right.
Gu Nian silently cursed, not wanting Ji Yang and Jing Rui to become adversaries.
After all, both men were strong competitors. A direct confrontation between them could easily result in mutual destruction.
Moreover, although Gu Nian detested Jing Rui, in truth, Jing Rui wasn't so unlikeable.
As for Ji Yang, having recently returned to K City, where everything was difficult at the start, it was essential for him to establish himself. Now was not the time to make an enemy of the Jing Family.
"Ji Yang brother..."
Just as Gu Nian was about to speak, Ji Yang pressed a hand on her shoulder.
The implied message was clear: this was a battle between men, and Gu Nian should not get involved.
