CHAPTER 450: CHAPTER 450: REFUSAL

As soon as he thought about Gu Juan getting close to someone else shortly after he left, Zhou Ting felt angrier than anything related to the abandoned warehouse.

Even though at that time he and Gu Juan hadn’t officially defined their relationship, if it hadn’t been for those officers, they could have reached the final step.

In Zhou Ting’s mind, Gu Juan belonged to him. He could give up on Gu Juan, but he couldn’t tolerate her being with another man.

Even after the warehouse incident, when their family moved to Capital City, he hadn’t even had a chance to say goodbye to Gu Juan.

"No problem," Zhou Ting said with a smile, "It doesn’t matter now, it’s all in the past."

Gu Lingling didn’t respond.

If it’s all in the past, then why did he come here?

Moreover, since returning from the Capital City, this man seemed gloomier than before, even though a year ago, Gu Lingling only saw him and Gu Juan being dragged out of the warehouse.

Compared to Zhou Ting back then, now both his behavior and his demeanor make people uncomfortable.

"I want to collaborate with you," Zhou Ting said, seeing she’s silent, "I know everything about the transformer factory, and I assume you’re smart enough to know who’s behind it."

"I have nothing to collaborate on with you," Gu Lingling directly refused.

"The enemy of my enemy is a friend, I assume you know this saying, right?" Zhou Ting wasn’t fazed by Gu Lingling’s rejection and continued, "But a small fry like Zheng Peng is nothing in my eyes."

"No, I think you’re mistaken," Gu Lingling replied with a smile, "Zheng Peng is not my enemy, and I won’t work with you. You’ve found the wrong person."

Only Gu Juan matters.

"As for the relationship among the three of you, it has nothing to do with me, and I’m not interested in getting involved," Gu Lingling said indifferently, "Whether you want to take back your woman or whatever, that’s your own business."

"Please don’t bother me again," Gu Lingling finished speaking and pulled Hao Lianlian into the alley.

"That depends on you," Zhou Ting said from behind.

Gu Lingling didn’t stop walking; she simply didn’t want to engage with this creepy guy.

"Gu Juan had Zheng Peng do so many things, do you really not want to fight back?" Zhou Ting said from behind, "The incidents at the repair shop might happen a second, third, or even many more times, are you just going to keep enduring?"

Gu Juan could act against Yao Jingsong and Gu Chunhai, proving she entirely disregards familial ties with them.

He couldn’t believe Gu Lingling could tolerate it all.

Yet, Gu Lingling still didn’t stop, and Zhou Ting felt somewhat disappointed.

These past few days, he had been investigating everywhere, thinking he had a good understanding of this girl, Gu Lingling.

A person accustomed to oppression since childhood could have an extraordinary outburst when they finally resist, as seen when Gu Juan’s family was forced out, proving these two sisters hate each other fiercely.

Logically, as soon as he spoke to Gu Lingling like this, she should agree happily.

But she actually refused.

Or maybe he wasn’t clear enough? Too vague for Gu Lingling to understand.

But it doesn’t matter.

Without Gu Lingling, the game just becomes less interesting.

Zhou Ting smiled faintly, looking in the direction Gu Lingling left; this girl was much more interesting than Gu Juan.

At least she’s smart and level-headed.

Just wonder what she’s been through to have such an enlightened transformation?
