Chapter 449: Chapter 449 Where to Get So Much Money_1
Gu Yan was rigid all over, yes, he was filled with pain and anger back then, refusing to accept it.
He only thought of his own pain, never considering hers.
"So, are you now getting revenge on me for nonchalantly abandoning you back then?" He was distraught, his heart torn apart.
"If you want to think that, I can’t do anything about it."
Gu Yan looked at her in pain: "I can make up for my past mistakes, compensate for the wounds you’ve suffered. I swear, I will never doubt you again, never hurt you."
"It’s futile. Because I don’t love you anymore. Gu Yan, when I loved you, I was willing to set myself on fire, forsaking everything. But when I left you, I was just as resolute. Please, don’t seek me out again."
Ye Lu turned to leave, without lingering any longer.
After eight years, she had burned out her purest love and passion, no matter how much love there was, it couldn’t hold up a relationship that had long since deteriorated in the end.
For several days in a row, Gu Yan stood outside her mother’s hospital room every day, not leaving. Ye Lu ignored him, not speaking a word to him.
Eventually, Gu Yan fell ill and collapsed on the floor, he was carried away and she didn’t even come out to take a look.
The nurses around her looked at her with reproachful eyes, thinking she was cruel beyond measure, whispering that she was heartless.
Ye Lu thought to herself, yes, she was such a cold-hearted person, once she made a decision, she was more resolute than anyone.
"I heard that Mr. Gu has collapsed and been hospitalized." Even Yan Yu knew about it.
Ye Lu stiffened, while feeding her soup, she responded: "That’s for the best, it’s better than him standing at our hospital room door every day. Now, he should give up."
"I can tell, he really loves you."
"He loves me, but also used me and hurt me. I can’t accept such love." Ye Lu bowed her head.
Yan Yu smirked, "You aren’t unable to accept it, you just don’t love him. If you truly loved him, you would forgive him."
Ye Lu handled some hospital payments, spending a lot of money, fortunately, she had Little Yuanyuan as her little treasury, otherwise, she would be in trouble.
The doctor said she could leave the hospital in a week.
She would be busy afterwards. Old Sir Shang’s affair needed to be resolved.
She called a middleman, asking: "Is that renowned international investigation team finished with their current tasks, can they come over now?"
The person on the other end said they’d just finished a major case and were now available. But as per the rules, they needed to be paid upfront, they wouldn’t start working until the funds were in place.
Ye Lu asked him how much money was needed.
"Five million?" When she heard the price he quoted, she gasped, "Isn’t that too much?"
"Miss Ye, this price is already the absolute minimum given our relationship with the Gu Clan, they are very famous, well-organized and able to uncover small pieces of evidence swiftly. They are usually employed by prestigious families, their fee is usually tens of millions. Given that Old Sir Shang’s net worth is in the billions, this price can absolutely not be considered expensive."
Ye Lu understood, but grudgingly said: "Give me some more time, I will gather the money."
After hanging up, she was extremely troubled. Previously, because she was with Gu Yan, someone else would cover the investigation fee. Now the times were different. She wouldn’t ask Gu Yan for money. She had to pay for it herself.
But where was she going to find five million?
She went home and shamelessly asked Little Yuanyuan for a loan. But even if she combined the money of the two little tycoons, she was still short by one million.
