The call brought Gu Tanfeng's eyes back to focus. He turned his head slightly to look at Lu Yunxue and asked expressionlessly, "What's the matter?"
"Tan Feng, if you really want her, get her back." Lu Yunxue really couldn't bear to see her son like this, so she tried to persuade him softly, despite all the concerns in her heart.
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Tanfeng's lips curled into a faint mocking smile. He then turned his gaze back to the direction just now and didn't respond to Lu Yunxue.
The more he acted like this, the more painful Lu Yunxue's heart became. She took a step forward and came to Gu Tanfeng's side. She whispered, "Do you want to give up?"
"Never!" Gu Tanfeng, who hadn't spoken for a long time, answered very firmly. His magnetic and hoarse voice was full of endless charm.
"Then you …" Hearing such a stubborn answer, Lu Yunxue's heart was particularly complicated. She didn't know whether she was happy or worried, but she still pursed her lips into a faint smile and wanted to continue persuading Gu Tanfeng.
But before she finished speaking, the cold voice sounded again, directly intercepting her next words. "Mom, I know what I'm doing."
This sentence had already expressed his attitude very clearly, simply and straightforwardly making the words that Lu Yunxue wanted to say stuck in her throat. Helplessness flashed across Lu Yunxue's face, which had some traces of age on it. She nodded slightly and left Gu Tanfeng's bedroom, leaving Gu Tanfeng alone to enjoy the evening breeze.
As the wind grew stronger, the boredom became more and more gloomy, causing him to raise his wrist and swallow the remaining wine in the high-heeled glass. After he finished drinking, a soft ringtone sounded, causing him to squeeze a slight frown on his face.
Gu Tanfeng picked up his phone from the small table beside him. When he saw the name flashing on the screen, a wave of dark anger rushed into every drop of his blood and every cell. He gripped the tall glass in his other hand tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.
"Crack!" The sound of glass shattering was especially crisp in the air. Some glass shards fell from his hand, and some of the finer shards sank into the flesh of his palm.
The scarlet blood looked particularly ferocious and enchanting under the night sky, like an extremely beautiful and enchanting flower that was highly poisonous. Drop after drop flowed down his calloused fingertips, but his expression didn't change at all. He just coldly answered the phone.
He placed the phone next to his ear, but for a long time, he did not utter a single word. Instead, a playful voice came from the other side of the phone. "Tan Feng, are you free?"
"Speak." Gu Tanfeng's hand that was holding the phone kept increasing its strength. If one observed carefully, they might find that the phone was already showing signs of deforming.
"Don't be so fierce. I'm here to talk to you about something." Ling Yuxuan's voice was full of cheerfulness. He seemed to have returned to his original hearty appearance, full of the image of a sunny young man.
But this trick didn't work on Gu Tanfeng at all. The more Ling Yuxuan's voice echoed in his ears, the clearer the images of Qianqian's childhood abuse in the Ling family became. Those images were like sharp knives, ruthlessly stabbing into his heart and then pulling it out again and again.
A little girl without the strength to even truss a chicken had to endure such abuse, especially his girl! Gu Tanfeng, who had originally calmed down, gradually felt hatred and guilt in his heart. He wanted to cut the person in front of him into a thousand pieces.
"I don't have anything to talk about with you!" Gu Tanfeng's hatred was suppressed to a point, and it could explode at any time.
But Ling Yuxuan did not panic at all. Instead, he squeezed out a strange smile from his throat and said playfully, "If you still want Wan Qianqian not to be watched by my father, you and I have many things to talk about."
"You? What right does someone who doesn't even have the power of the Ling family have to talk to me? I will protect my woman myself. I don't need anyone else. " Hearing that, the fire in Gu Tanfeng's chest burned fiercely. The mocking smile on his lips was even more vivid, and the disdain in his tone was transmitted to Ling Yuxuan's ears.
The fact that he did not have any real power for a long time had always been a pain in Ling Yuxuan's heart. When Gu Tanfeng mentioned it in such a sarcastic manner, the jealousy and hatred in his heart grew like mushrooms after the rain.
Both of their emotions were at the point where they were about to explode. Only by suppressing their hatred did they not start a war. Ling Yuxuan's tone gradually became unpleasant, and there was a hint of coldness in his voice. "No matter what, I have a valuable piece of information here. It's up to you whether you want it or not. I'll see you in an hour at the same old place."
With that last sentence, Ling Yuxuan hung up the phone at the speed of light. A cold busy tone sounded in Gu Tanfeng's ears. Under the contrast of the night, his angular face became dark and unclear, making it difficult to understand his complicated feelings.
An hour later, in a bar that was opened in a relatively remote area, a figure sat in front of the bar, and in the huge bar, he was the only lonely figure sitting there. He was still shaking the light yellow whiskey in his hand, and there was a warm smile on his face.
"Bang!" A rather rough sound suddenly sounded, attracting Ling Yuxuan's attention. The warm smile came in the direction of the door, and he raised the glass in his hand at him like a good friend, gently shaking it a few times.
"Speak." Gu Tanfeng was wearing a mid-length trench coat. The loose clothes did not make him look bad, but instead, it made him look better because of his perfect body proportion. His face was as cold as Rakshasa's, and he spat out a word coldly.
It was just a word, but it contained endless power, like a wave of surging power pressing towards Ling Yuxuan, and there was a hint of murderous intent in it.
"There's no rush, it's been a long time since we had a good drink. I mixed it for you according to your taste." Ling Yuxuan disguised his emotions very well, that mischievous expression and smile were just right, no one could see how rotten his bright appearance was.
Gu Tanfeng sat straight on the chair next to him, but he did not reach out to pick up the glass for a long time. His face was tense, and he stood there like a statue, giving people the feeling that they should stay away from him.
There were only the two of them in the huge bar, and the emptiness made the elegant silence in the air even more obvious. Waves of awkwardness wandered between the two, and no one said a word.
After a while, Ling Yuxuan drank the whiskey in his hand, turned around, and faced Gu Tanfeng, and said softly, "Tan Feng, have you been thinking about those scenes from when you were young recently? Do you feel that your heart is going to die? Actually, I feel the same, if I knew this would happen, I would have listened to you, and directly … "
Before he could say the word 'kill', his collar was grabbed by a strong force, forcibly interrupting his words. The two faces were even closer, about ten centimeters apart, so two pairs of exquisite and sharp eyes met, but their emotions were not quite the same.
Ling Yuxuan, who was restrained, still did not panic at all, and there was still a hint of a warm smile in his brown eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up high, and he reached out to lightly pat the hand that was grabbing his collar. "Even if you kill me, you can't change what happened back then."
"If you have something to say, just say it!" Gu Tanfeng's hand was still tightly grabbing his collar, and this sentence seemed to jump out from between his teeth. Every word contained a monstrous anger, and his murderous intent seeped out bit by bit, merging into the air, and tightly surrounding Ling Yuxuan.
Ling Yuxuan was also a person with some sense of propriety, and the arrogant and fearless expression on his face faded a little, and his serious face gradually replaced the mischievous smile.
"I only have one request, and that is the Ling family." Ling Yuxuan said this with a serious expression. His eyes met Gu Tanfeng's gaze, which was a mixture of anger and probing, without blinking.
Gradually, Gu Tanfeng's hand that was grabbing his collar gradually loosened, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows gradually appeared. His two thin lips still had no intention of opening, as if he was waiting for Ling Yuxuan to continue.
After many years of knowing each other, Ling Yuxuan could see the reason for the wrinkles between Gu Tanfeng's eyebrows at a glance. His handsome face gradually darkened, and his brown eyes were mixed with a lot of hatred and murderous intent. It was the purest hatred that had been refined after many years of accumulation, and it was an emotion that was close to morbid.
After his face darkened to the extreme, the corner of Ling Yuxuan's mouth raised in a mocking arc, and he frankly told Gu Tanfeng, "Ling Feng is raising a bunch of illegitimate children outside, and I heard that he has no intention of leaving the property to me."
"Wan Qianqian is the one who has the right to inherit the Ling family." Hearing this, the wrinkles between Gu Tanfeng's eyebrows deepened a little, and he looked at Ling Yuxuan warily, afraid that he would do something to Wan Qianqian.
"I know, so this is the condition I want to negotiate with you. I want the Ling family." Ling Yuxuan's face was still very calm, and he lightly said words that were as heavy as a thousand-pound stone.
The bar gradually returned to silence, and the two men stood facing each other. With them as the center, there was a kind of oppressive feeling within a radius of five meters. Two pairs of eyes that were as sharp as the eyes of an eagle stared at each other.
The wind from the air conditioner swept across the opened wine at the side, and a trace of mellow wine slowly rippled in the air. At this time, the existence of the clock hanging on the wall was especially obvious.
After a long time, Gu Tanfeng gently opened his lips, which were almost pressed into a straight line, and asked softly, "Then what are the conditions you can offer?"
