He clenched his fists and took a deep breath to suppress the churning emotions in his heart. “I wanted to tell you that this so-called engagement is a farce.

You…” he said.

“Okay, I know. Here, it’s for you. Take care.” Lin Gantang stuffed the large tome of laws into Gu Zhichuan’s hands and resumed her work.

Ah! It was so annoying. If he continued badgering her, she wouldn’t mind calling Yanqing again to deal with him.

Fortunately, Gu Zhichuan took the book and left, though hesitantly. Lin Gantang continued to record and introduce the new cats without further disruptions.

She was very busy but still had to go to the mall to buy camping equipment. Who had time to listen to Gu Zhichuan?

Lin Gantang finished filming the video and was about to carry Ximi away, who had joined in the fun by grooming a new calico kitten. It was a delightful sight.

Instead, she picked up Joy, who had become increasingly round lately.

Just as she was about to leave, Le Yu ran in like a ghost chasing after him. He ran straight to her in a panic. His tie was crooked, and Le Yu’s forehead was soaked in sweat.

“Sister Tang, save me!”

“Slow down! What’s wrong?” It was as if he were fleeing for his life.

“It’s terrible! It’s worse than you could imagine!” Le Yu was on the verge of tears. “Help me! I’ll do anything to repay you!”

“… There’s no need to be so dramatic.”

She was more curious about who had left Le Yu in this state.

Soon, a woman decked out in jewels appeared.

Her round figure was accented by glimmering treasures so dazzling that Lin Gantang swore she might have gone blind for a second.

More importantly, two hulking bodyguards stood to either side, escorting her. They were dressed in suits and dark sunglasses; one look was enough to know that they were not to be trifled with.

“What did you do?” Lin Gantang was silent for a moment. “Did you steal her jewelry? Otherwise, why would she chase you?

“I didn’t do anything of that sort!”

When the woman saw Le Yu, her beady eyes lit up. She waddled over with swaying steps, her fleshy body jiggling as she moved.

“Come out, come out now. I see you! There’s no hiding from me!” The woman giggled, coquettishly waving at Le Yu. “Aww… How cute. Are you trying to hide behind that sweet young lady?”

“Le Yu, who is this?” Lin Gantang trembled.

Le Yu wished he could jump out of the window and escape.

“What are you doing here? Are you here to buy some books?” The woman eyed Lin Gantang, who was dressed in her work uniform. “If there’s something you want, I’ll buy them for you. Are the books on the first floor enough? Perhaps we should get the books on the second floor as well… Miss, I would like to purchase all the books on the first floor.”

Rich! “Alright, alright!” Lin Gantang immediately reacted. “Just a second, dear customer. I’ll have it done immediately!”

“Lin Gantang!” Le Yu grabbed her tightly.

“This is the biggest sale of my career so far,” Lin Gantang said excitedly, rubbing her hands together.

“Do you lack this bit of money?” Le Yu hissed through gritted teeth.

“Le Yu, what’s your relationship with this young lady?” The woman frowned, suspicious of how close they seemed.

Le Yu made up his mind. “Stop bugging me. My girlfriend is so beautiful. How can you compare to her!”

Lin Gantang: “Meow?”

“What’s the use of being pretty? Just come with me. I’m rich.” The woman looked at Lin Gantang with displeasure and shoved her aside with her chubby body.

Le Yu pulled Lin Gantang back. “Who cares about your money? I have plenty of money!” Auntie!”

The woman seemed to have heard a joke. She giggled. “You’re working hard to make a living, yet you say you have money. If this is a joke, it’s hilarious!”

Le Yu was about to explode. He had money, and his family did not lack money. Did he look like a poor man?

“Alright, I’m short of money.” Le Yu was desperate. He raised Lin Gantang’s hand in front of the woman. “But my girlfriend doesn’t have money. Look at this watch. It’s not even worth the smallest trinket on you now, is it?

Lin Gantang glanced outside the shop and silently tugged at Le Yu’s clothes..
