Chapter 877 It's all part of your plan

Li Luyao's expression froze upon hearing this, which made Jiang Yilai somewhat flustered.

I originally asked this question out of curiosity, but seeing his strange expression meant there was something going on.

She asked incredulously, "Was helping me keep my child part of your plan?"

Li Luyao took a deep breath. "Yes, initially it was because they were Fu Nanxiao's children. Keeping them would be useful to me in the future, and I could use them to threaten the Fu family."

Jiang Yilai felt a chill run down her spine. The person she once trusted most turned out not to be genuinely helping her, but rather had a terrible ulterior motive.

Li Luyao added, "Fu Nanxiao is too powerful. It won't be easy to deal with him. The only thing I can think of is to target the people around him, which is naturally you."

If he hadn't said any of this, or even denied it, Jiang Yilai wouldn't have known.

But his candidness left Jiang Yilai somewhat at a loss.

“Over the years you have taken great care of us, never harmed the children, and treated them as your own.”

Jiang Yilai truly felt this and believed that he genuinely liked the children.

Li Luyao closed his eyes. If he had really been more ruthless back then and used the child to threaten Fu Nanxiao, he would have been able to get everything he wanted.

Even if there was an ulterior motive in approaching them, there were still feelings involved.

"After that, I realized that I was hopelessly in love with you and genuinely liked the children, so my plans fell through."

Although Li Luyao wavered a few times, he never hurt them.

Jiang Yilai said with heartache, "I am still very grateful to you. No matter what your motives were back then, at least thanks to you, my two children and I were able to survive."

There is no doubt about this, and Jiang Yilai remains grateful.

Li Luyao was also feeling bad. "What are you planning to do now? Never talk to me again?"

Jiang Yilai was also confused and asked, "Do you still want to take over the Gu family?"

Li Luyao squeezed her eyes shut and opened them again; nothing was going smoothly.

Jiang Yilai felt deeply pained by his reaction.

“I’ve said before that I have no objection to you dealing with the culprit, but don’t hurt innocent people. The Gu family has done nothing wrong to you.”

"I just need the same power."

"But because of your actions, you almost hurt the Gu family."

"That old lady is very shrewd. This time, everyone fell into her trap. If I hadn't gotten out in time, we would probably all be in the police station by now."

“You own Gu Nianqiang’s shares; they’ll find out about you sooner or later.”

“I wouldn’t be foolish enough to use my own name. They can’t trace it back to me unless Gu Nianqiang tells me herself. And I have dirt on her, so she won’t dare to say it.”

Jiang Yilai found the person in front of her to be a complete stranger, and that their words and actions were so cruel.

Li Luyao had always been so considerate in front of him; this was the first time he had ever seen her so sinister and cunning.

"She attempted suicide and is now being rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment."

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Luyao's eyes, but she quickly recovered and even laughed.

Jiang Yilai asked, puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"

Li Luyao said, "Of course we're laughing at how clever this woman is. She knows how to retreat in order to advance and solve problems in this way. No one in the Gu family will blame her anymore."

Jiang Yilai was surprised by his interpretation and raised her doubts.

"Her condition is very dangerous right now. Aren't you afraid that she might not be able to be saved?"

"Since she was in a desperate situation anyway, she was naturally willing to risk her life to take a gamble."
