Lu Anran didn’t say much more about it and simply asked Lu Anna, “Do you have any plans for the evening? I’ll send you where you’re going.”

“No need,” Lu Anna gently refused. “My car is parked outside. I have an errand to run in the evening. Call me if you need anything else.”

Lu Anna walked to her car and hurried away.

In fact, this stepsister wasn’t very close to her before, but ever since her father’s accident, she put in much effort.

It seemed that not everyone was as treacherous as that man.

She got back into her car, took out her phone, and called the treacherous man directly. This time, he answered it quickly.

Without waiting for the other person to speak, she asked, “Did you arrange things tonight on purpose?”

The man on the other end chuckled. “You should thank me for helping you see Cheng Zhi’s true colors early on. Also, don’t waste your time. Zhu Lanyi knows the connection between you and me. She won’t help you.”

Gu Liangchen knew that she was stubborn, but he didn’t expect that she would really go to Zhu Lanyi. In an act of desperation, he thought of a way to prevent them from meeting, because her asking Zhu Lanyi for help was tantamount to asking a tiger for its hide.

However, he didn’t expect that she would follow along to catch them red-handed, so he simply ordered someone to send them directly to the door of the woman that Cheng Zhi was banging.

Lu Anran was already fuming, but after hearing Gu Liangchen’s words, she didn’t even bother to vent her rage anymore. She asked calmly, “Gu Liangchen, what do you want?”

“Leave Cheng Zhi. He’s hooking up with more than one woman.”

After tonight, even without him telling her to do so, she wouldn’t be with Cheng Zhi anymore. “And?”

“Move back to the Lu family’s villa. I bought it.”

Because of debt, the Lu family’s villa was mortgaged to the bank in the year that her father had an accident, but she didn’t expect it to end up in his hands in the end.

Lu Anran couldn’t help but sneer. “What do you mean? Are you trying to set me as your mistress?”

“You can refuse.”

She wanted to refuse, but with Gu Liangchen’s powerful influence now, she seemed to have no other option. “Okay, I can agree, but I usually have to stay in the hospital to take care of my dad. If you need me there, call ahead and I will be there.”

“Nursing care has been arranged for Professor Lu. I will ask Jing Cheng to pick you up from the hospital in an hour.”

Too overbearing to give her any room for rebuttal, Gu Liangchen immediately hung up.

He abandoned her without any hesitation back then, and now she was ruthlessly forced to return to him. Lu Anran was about to lose it. She really couldn’t figure out what this man wanted.

This night was destined to be full of turmoil.

Zhu Lanyi was sitting next to him, staring at him with red eyes when Gu Liangchen hung up. Completely devoid of her usual dignified appearance, she appeared like a hideous female ghost.

The anger that she had been suppressing in her heart for a long time could no longer be curbed. “You actually bought a house for that b*tch? Do you want her to live in the house and sleep on your bed?”

“Shut up!” Gu Liangchen interrupted her and reminded her coldly, “Ju Lanyi, don’t be too overbearing. When we got married, you and I agreed clearly that you only need to be Mrs. Gu in name. As for anything else, don’t even think about it.”

“But the agreement also stated that you aren’t allowed to see Lu Anran again. However, you have clearly been watching her carefully in the last three years. You don’t see her out in the open, but, behind the scenes, you prevent any man from getting close to her! Gu Liangchen, I have an idea. Why don’t I send her to jail tomorrow and let her rot in there? Sounds good?”
