"Sister Xia, you know, right? I am the daughter of the Asia-Pacific Loan Bank Group, only a woman of my status deserves Brother Yao. And I believe Brother Yao is only with you out of novelty. He’s seen all kinds of women; staying in the circle for too long can be tiring, and occasionally changing tastes is normal. Besides, which woman wouldn’t fall for such a noble man? Don’t you think?"

Though Gu Ziqian had a smile on her lips, her eyes were incredibly sharp, "I believe Brother Yao will come to his senses, don’t get your hopes up. You’re just a toy to Brother Yao. Once he loses interest in you, he’ll discard you like an old piece of clothing without a second thought. Sister Xia, you live in the 21st century, you know what shame is, right? Your family and teachers must’ve taught you not to steal things from others, right?"

Xia Qingqian felt her body trembling constantly; she lacked the confidence to face Gu Ziqian, knowing she was in the wrong.

"Miss Gu, rest assured, my presence will never hinder your place in Young Master’s heart. As Miss Gu said, I truly am just a plaything for Young Master. I never thought Young Master would develop feelings for me or give me a future." Xia Qingqian maintained a light smile, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, "Miss Gu, so you need not worry. Once my time with Young Master ends, I will disappear from your sight."

"Oh, really?" Gu Ziqian continued to sneer, looking at Xia Qingqian as if she were looking at something lowly and unworthy. She adjusted her hanging strands of hair, "Sister Xia, I should tell you that if I am harmed even slightly, my doting father and brother will never let that person go. They absolutely don’t want to see me suffer any grievances. If what I care about most is taken away, they’d stop at nothing to destroy everything!"

Xia Qingqian’s body trembled violently; she hadn’t expected such harsh words from this young girl.

She coldly faced Gu Ziqian, "Miss Gu, are you threatening me? If it’s truly your possession, no matter how people try to take it, they won’t succeed. But if it’s not yours, no matter how hard you hold on, it will slip through your fingers. I admit, the relationship between Young Master and me is merely a transaction, but the power to end it is not in my hands!" Didn’t she also want to leave? But could she? 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Since you’ve thought about leaving Brother Yao one day, why do you still cling to him, why not leave now? I, Gu Ziqian, do not want to see you, Xia Qingqian!" Gu Ziqian suddenly leaned forward, yanking away the blanket wrapped around Xia Qingqian.

Xia Qingqian exclaimed, her body exposed to the air, feeling goosebumps all over.

"Miss Gu, what are you doing?!" She was completely naked before Gu Ziqian, wanting to grab the blanket from Gu Ziqian’s hand, but Gu Ziqian stepped away from the bed with it.

"What am I doing? Of course, I’m checking how my Brother Yao tormented you!" Gu Ziqian’s gaze roamed over Xia Qingqian’s body, her fury growing stronger by the second, she spoke sarcastically while trying to steady her trembling body, "Brother Yao doesn’t love you; you’re just his tool for desire relief! What man would treat a woman he loves this way, don’t you think, Sister Xia?"
