Chapter 14: 014 At most with installment payment
The eyes that had held a trace of guilt now shifted to mockery.
“Ten times? Can you afford that p>
The displeasure in her tone was filled with doubt; even the liquid funds of Gu’s wouldn’t surpass ten billion.
How could Su Ran, with no background whatsoever, casually come up with a billion?
“Just because you can’t, does it mean no one else can p>
Su Ran scoffed, took her handbag from the nightstand, pulled out a stack of checks, and in front of him, wrote one for a billion yuan.
After a thought, she crossed it out and rewrote one for fifty million yuan.
“A one-off payment is really not fitting for you, at most you deserve installment payments, this fifty million is your down payment p>
Su Ran’s lips curled slightly, and she continued, “As for the remaining fifty million… I’ll choose an auspicious day to send you a big gift p>
Gu Heng’s handsome, elegant face was dark and cold. He didn’t reach out to take the check from Su Ran’s hand but just watched her coldly, his gaze filled with an irrational helplessness and sorrow.
It seemed that to him, her behavior was that unreasonable.
“Take it. You might be worthless, but I wouldn’t trade my dignity for anything. Borrowing my name, Su Ran, means not tolerating any disrespect. Remember, I, Su Ran, am someone the Gu Family can never aspire to p>
Gu Heng’s expression turned icy, full of disappointment as he looked at her, “How could you become like this p>
Under the intense gaze from above, Su Ran lifted her eyes to meet the man’s indifferent look.
“When did you become so unreasonable? When will you learn from Xinyan? She swallows her pride while you go from bad to worse. She’s never wronged you, always considering you in everything she does, even painfully letting go to make us happy. But what about you? Xiao Ran, you’ve disappointed me too much p>
At his words, Su Ran blinked, then suddenly let out a low chuckle—a clear, pleasant laughter, but to Gu Heng, it seemed extremely sarcastic.
So Su Xinyan’s suicide was to make them happy?
She needn’t have bothered!
Such a man was desired by Su Xinyan, but not by her.
“Gu Heng, get this straight. Now, it’s me, Su Ran, who looks down on you, who doesn’t want you p>
Gu Heng’s face stiffened suddenly, his look dark and chilly.
“Su Xinyan is so good, aren’t I just perfecting you two? Bitches and dogs are destined for each other; I sincerely wish you both lifelong infertility, offspring aplenty p>
Gu Heng was shocked; the girl he remembered as well-mannered and elegant was now lashing out with such venom.
“Xiao Ran, you p>
“And remember, what you call the best ending is yours, not mine, now take your compensation and get out p>
Su Ran slapped the check onto Gu Heng’s face, effectively showing him the door.
“Xiao Ran p>
“Can’t understand human speech?” Her eyes narrowed slightly, her tone frosty.
Gu Heng looked up at her, and knowing further words were futile, he sighed and left the hospital room.
Su Ran leaned back on the bed lethargically. She was once gentle as water, an eagle in the sky, soaring freely, unrestrained, but the hearts and nature of people turned her into ice. Her wings were broken, and she was left with only coldness and dominance.
She had tried so hard to put on a facade to protect herself, and now that was considered a fault.
The human heart, oh…
Unfathomable!
Su Ran’s thoughts drifted off when the door was knocked at that moment.
Startled, she nevertheless responded.
“Please come in p>
As her voice fell,
the door to the hospital room opened, and in walked a stranger, a man in a black suit with a tall figure.
