Chapter 817: Chapter 818: What He Actually Cares About Is You
Yishan had been protected by President Huo since she was little, so naturally, her identity wouldn’t be exposed just because a fake romance was revealed.
Wait, last name Ruan?
As if a thought occurred to her, Gu Qiangwei suddenly turned her head and looked at Qin Sijue, “You’re saying, it was a woman with the surname Ruan who exposed it?”
“Yeah.”
It must have been that Miss Ruan who was originally planning to get engaged to Li Yuan.
“What about Li Yuan then? Did he not get the inheritance?”
“Because of this, the birthday party ended early, and it wasn’t mentioned.”
“And Yishan?”
“She’s back, she should have already reached home by now.”
Hearing this, Gu Qiangwei hesitated for two seconds before quickly taking out her phone to call Huo Yishan!
After the phone rang for a while, it was finally picked up.
“Hello?”
Hearing the still familiar voice inside, though it sounded a bit melancholic, Gu Qiangwei spoke softly, “Yishan.”
“What’s up?”
“I know everything.”
“You mean about Li Yuan and me?”
“Yeah.”
“It’s okay, after all, we were fake! There’s no problem being exposed, just that…”
She suddenly paused, and Gu Qiangwei, thinking she realized how important Li Yuan was to her, even began to look forward to what she was about to say.
But what Huo Yishan said next was, “It’s just a pity he didn’t get the inheritance.”
Hearing that, Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help but close her eyes.
In the end, she worried about Li Yuan’s inheritance?
“Yishan, I think Li Yuan doesn’t care about the inheritance, what he really cares about is—”
Before she could say “you,” Huo Yishan interrupted her, “What makes you think he doesn’t care?”
Faced with her counter-question, Gu Qiangwei found herself at a loss for words.
But Li Yuan’s character made her feel that he probably didn’t care about the inheritance.
“If he truly didn’t care, why would he have me pretend to be his girlfriend?”
“That’s because he doesn’t want to marry Miss Ruan.”
“No.”
“What?”
When she spoke again, Huo Yishan’s voice was a bit melancholic, “If he really didn’t want to marry, then he simply wouldn’t marry, right? Even his father shouldn’t be able to force him, right?”
On the other end, Gu Qiangwei was stunned.
If just finding someone to act as a fake girlfriend could mean he didn’t have to marry Miss Ruan, that indeed also meant that marrying Miss Ruan wasn’t absolutely necessary.
Could it be that Li Yuan’s real purpose in having Yishan act as his fake girlfriend was for the inheritance?
“Besides, he should be getting engaged to Miss Ruan soon.”
That was the real reason her mood suddenly plummeted.
She didn’t understand why, after their false family relationship was exposed and he was about to get engaged to Miss Ruan, her mood felt so down, even slightly painful.
“What!?”
Hearing this, Gu Qiangwei was stunned!
“Li Yuan is getting engaged to Miss Ruan?”
“Yeah, only through that can he smoothly secure the inheritance.”
Gu Qiangwei was startled for a long while before she finally spoke, “Yishan.”
“Hmm?”
“Don’t you care at all?”
The sudden question made Huo Yishan pause as well, clearly understanding what Gu Qiangwei meant by ‘care.’
But ultimately, she still dismissed it, “Care about what?”
“About Li Yuan, don’t you care about him at all?”
“Hehe… What do I have to care about? Actually, I think him getting engaged to Miss Ruan is quite good. I’ve seen that girl, she’s pretty. Marrying her, on one hand, helps him get the inheritance, and on the other hand, he wins a beautiful bride. Why not do it?”
