Chapter 226 Grudges and Enmities
A glimmer of memories shone in Li Yan's eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, as if she were savoring that beautiful moment.
If Gu Tingyan hadn't noticed that Li Yan didn't have a trace of love for Duan Yujing in her eyes, he would have almost thought that Li Yan had fallen into a trap set by a man named Duan Yujing.
After telling Gu Tingyan how she met Duan Yujing, Li Yan's fair face showed curiosity again. She blinked and asked, "Ayan, how exactly did our family and the Duan family become enemies?"
Gu Tingyan was slightly taken aback, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Li Yan, you don't need to get involved in business dealings. These things are complicated; just take good care of yourself."
Gu Tingyan's tone was firm and serious, as if he were guarding an important secret.
Hearing Gu Tingyan's words, Gu Tingyu immediately retorted, "It seems Gu Tingyan doesn't trust Li Yan that much either. He didn't tell her anything and even told her not to interfere."
His eyes held a hint of mockery, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.
Upon hearing Gu Tingyu's words, Li Yan felt a surge of anger.
She glared at Gu Tingyu and said irritably, "Don't be so smug. You're in the same boat. Don't you always make me angry too?"
When it comes to angering Li Yan, the two brothers are evenly matched, neither being significantly better than the other.
Li Yan's voice was sharp and powerful, like a sharp blade, piercing straight into Gu Tingyu's heart.
Gu Tingyu's expression was somewhat unnatural, while Gu Tingyan's gaze towards Li Yan was slightly complicated.
Just then, Xu Rou returned, lifting the hem of her skirt.
When Xu Rou saw the three of them getting along well, her eyes flashed with a complicated light, and a feeling of jealousy welled up in her heart.
Her beautiful face was slightly contorted, as if burned by the flames of jealousy.
Xu Rou deliberately walked over and took Gu Tingyu's arm, the movement gentle and deliberate, her face showing apology.
"Ah Yu, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Xu Rou's voice was gentle and sweet, with a hint of ingratiation.
Her eyes were filled with expectation as she looked at Gu Tingyu, hoping that he could forgive her.
Li Yan glanced at Xu Rou, sensing something unusual. She narrowed her eyes slightly, silently observing Xu Rou and trying to figure out her intentions.
Her eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, seemingly able to see through Xu Rou's heart.
"Ayan, keep an eye on your brother. Don't let him be misled by certain people." Li Yan stood beside Gu Tingyan and instructed him in a low and serious voice.
Gu Tingyan nodded and whispered in Li Yan's ear, "Don't worry, Mom."
The charity auction officially began, and the atmosphere instantly became tense and exciting.
One by one, precious auction items were displayed, prompting guests to place bids.
Li Yan's gaze was drawn to a set of emerald jewelry; its dazzling light, like green flames, shimmered with captivating brilliance under the lamplight.
Her eyes were filled with love and longing, as if she were completely captivated by the jewelry.
Gu Tingyan noticed Li Yan's emotional fluctuations out of the corner of his eye and had an idea in mind.
"This set of jewelry is so beautiful," Li Yan exclaimed softly, her eyes fixed on the jewelry, secretly determined to take a picture of it.
However, just as Li Yan was about to make a bid, Duan Yujing preemptively shouted, "Ten million!"
