Chapter 393 - Chapter 393: Chapter Three-Hundred and Ninety-Three: Conflict (2/2)
Yun Liu smiled and gently responded, “Thank you, dear Shi Xiu!”
Shi Xiu glared at her viciously before saying to Lan Long. “I’ve got something to do, so I’ll be going now.”
Lan Long smiled and stepped forward. “I’ll drive you back.” Lan Long walked with Shi Xiu to the lobby’s entrance, and Shi Xiu thought for a moment and stated, “I think I should leave by myself. My celebrity identity is a little sensitive. I don’t want to cause you any trouble.”
Lan Long nodded in understanding. “Why don’t I get someone to drive you? Take my car. Those reporters aren’t familiar with it.”
Shi Xiu gave it some thought and accepted Lan Long’s kind offer, and Lan Long watched her leave. When Lan Long returned to his office, Yun Liu was already there waiting for him.
Seeing him, Yun Liu stood up respectfully and said, “Mister Lan.”
Lan Long walked straight to his office chair and sat down. “Please take a seat, Miss Yun.” Yun Liu carefully sat down.

Lan Long looked up at her and smiled lightly. “Miss Yun truly has some big ambitions. ”
Yun Liu bit her lip and didn’t speak. ‘Why do I feel like you don’t have much confidence?” Lan Long questioned. “Are you not confident that I can help you achieve your wish, or are you not confident in your ability to take charge of the Gu family alone in the future?”
Been seen through, Yun Liu looked at Lan Long in shock. Lan Long chuckled, “I heard you’re deeply in love with Shi Nian. I thought you would beg me to help you get together with him instead.”
Yun Liu mustered up her courage to reply, “I need a powerful family background and status to be on equal footing with Shi Nian.”
“But Yun Nan doesn’t have a powerful family background,” Lan Long indifferently reminded her.
“She does,” Yun Liu told him. “She’s the named successor of the Gu family’s second branch, Gu Bei. Mr. Lan, you don’t know Yun Nan well; that woman is especially good at flattery and scheming to further her own interests..”
