“Take it, here’s 10 million, consider it… my compensation to you.”
“10 million?”
Su Ran chuckled lightly, her delicate eyebrows arching ever so slightly.
She reached out to take it, holding the check between her index and middle fingers, slightly lowering her eyes, as she playfully examined it.
“So I’m only worth 10 million in the eyes of the Gu Family?”
Her casual tone seemed somewhat nonchalant, yet it sent an inexplicable shiver down someone’s spine.
Gu Heng’s expression stiffened, and he hastily explained:
“No, Xiao Ran, that’s not what I meant…”
Su Ran raised her hand to cut him off.
“Last month, at Su Xinyan’s celebration banquet, you

gave her a new Top bracelet, 15 million.”
“The month before that, for Zhao Yiyi’s birthday, her custom–made gown, 13 million.”
“And the month before that, for some anniversary with
Su Xinyan, the latest couple’s model from ‘Eternal‘, 30
million.”
Su Ran looked up, waving the check in her hand, her eyes brimming with mirth.
“Shall I continue listing them, President Gu?”
Gu Heng’s pupils trembled intensely, his face a picture of shock as he stared at her.
“Under the name of my boyfriend, you romanced my half–sister behind my back, and now you want to send me away with 10 million; Gu Heng, do you really think I, Su Ran, am so easy to bully?”
Su Ran’s eyes narrowed slightly, her aura suddenly changing, her gaze revealing a mysteriously chilling coldness.
She didn’t care about the precious things he gave to others.
She didn’t care about his deep affection with Su

Xinyan, either.
But to try to slap her, Su Ran, in the face like this…
Seeking death!
Was she someone worth only 10 million?
Gu Heng denied, “No, Xiao Ran, I didn’t mean to send you away, how could I use this to insult you, I…”
“Of course not.”
Before Gu Heng could feel any sense of relief, he heard
Su Ran continue:
“It doesn’t matter if you insult me, but if I lose my
temper, and expose the affair between you and
and your beloved sister Xinyan, then not only will you two not be able to be together openly, but the Gu Family’s reputation will also be tarnished.”
Gu Heng’s body stiffened, as if a nerve had been hit, his complexion going pale.
Su Ran curled her lips into a faint smile, the joy in her eyes unclear.
“You want to break off the engagement? I disagree.”
Gu Heng was slightly startled, some joy arising, but

before this feeling could spread, it was doused by Su
Ran’s next words.
“Oh, I misspoke.”
“What I mean is… I disagree that you should be the one proposing it.”
Gu Heng looked up at her, his eyes deeply searching.
“What do you mean?”
Su Ran’s eyes were clear, brilliantly captivating in a somewhat alluring way.
“What I mean is… indeed, the engagement should be broken off, but it’s not you, it’s me.”
Her languid tone was especially unnerving, “You think you’re worthy of breaking it off?”
At these words, Gu Heng’s face suddenly changed, growing increasingly somber.
As Su Ran spoke, her slender fingers toyed with the check in her hand, her tone mocking and sarcastic.
“You’re shameless to even bring out such a paltry sum as 10 million; is the Gu Family going bankrupt?”
As her voice fell, Su Ran, right in front of him, leisurely

tore the check to shreds.
“How about this, ten times the amount on this check for your compensation?”
With Su Ran’s shocking action and mocking tone, Gu Heng’s heart instantly plummeted to the depths, his handsome face tinged with an icy chill.
As a man long accustomed to power, his dignity had never been trampled on like this before.
He looked down at Su Ran, his eyes going from shock to disappointment, and then to estrangement.
