Ye Wan suspected she was hallucinating, or that the person before her wasn't Gu Yunting at all, but someone else. She blurted out, "Didn't you want this child? We signed an agreement, just for the child, have you forgotten?"
"You actually believed it? I was just... playing with you! I won't want this child. I'll arrange for Jin Lan to operate on you." Gu Yunting forcefully pulled his hand away, trying his best to appear cold and heartless.
Ye Wan was completely stunned. She finally realized Gu Yunting wasn't joking. The blow left her speechless, staring at him blankly. At this moment, she truly began to doubt her life.
Gu Yunting got up to leave. Ye Wan wanted to call him to stop, to ask why he was treating her like this, but her throat felt as if it were stuffed with cotton, rendering her unable to utter a single word.
Jin Lan, overhearing their conversation, was frantic. As soon as Gu Yunting came out, he pulled him into the office. Jiang Jingxiu went in first to check on Ye Wan.
"What are you doing? You're asking her to abort the child, but you have to tell her the reason, don't you? How heartbroken she must be like this," Jin Lan said.
"See for yourself." Gu Yunting threw his phone onto the desk and slumped into a chair, his fingers trembling.
Jin Lan picked up the phone and saw a message from Luo Su.
'I'm very curious, if there's only one antidote left in this world, you and the girl you love, who would you choose to live.'
Below it was a photo of a syringe, clearly the antidote.
"Shameless!" Jin Lan was so angry he almost smashed his phone.
"Maybe he's lying to you. He must have more than just one antidote," Jin Lan tried to comfort him.
"I can't take the risk," Gu Yunting murmured. He couldn't risk her life. He wanted her to live. "If only one of us can survive, it will be her."
To him, she was the most beautiful existence in the world, like the brightest star in the sky. He wouldn't let the stars fall.
"Brother, don't do anything rash. Haven't I started developing the antidote?" Jin Lan quickly comforted him, not wanting him to be too despondent.
"Don't you see? Luo Su is here this time to get revenge on me. He just wants to torture me, to get revenge for abandoning him back then. He only wants me to suffer! Do you think he'd let you develop the antidote so quickly? I just want her to be alright." Gu Yunting suddenly chuckled, a sharp pain piercing his chest.
"Bastard, scum! But you have to have faith in me too!" Jin Lan looked at him with some concern.
Gu Yunting didn't reply. He picked up his phone and called Luo Su. "Give me the antidote. Tell me what you want."
"Hahahaha, I'm very curious, will you use this antidote yourself, or give it to your little darling? I'm not joking, there's only one antidote in the whole world! Gu Yunting, you know me, when I say it's... it is!" Luo Su's eyes blazed with the light of vengeful satisfaction.
"State your conditions," Gu Yunting said calmly again.
"I want the military production rights for XX country!" Luo Su stated his condition. He came this time precisely for revenge against Gu Yunting. Back then, they were the best of brothers and partners, but Gu Yunting abandoned him. And what he hated most was being abandoned!
He was abandoned on the roadside when he was born. Before the age of ten, he was abandoned by over a dozen foster families. Why was he always the one being abandoned?
