Chapter 345: Appreciation
Despite the rejection, Master Gu Er became immediately impressed by this beautiful young lady. After some serious conversation, Master Gu Er realized Lu Yan’s background was very similar to his adopted daughter. So he called Ye Qian over.
Ye Qian had done everything to guard against Lu Yan, but she couldn’t do anything to stop Master Gu Er from appearing before Lu Yan.
The thing that Ye Qian worried about the most happened. Master Gu Er quickly discovered the similarities between Lu Yan and Mrs. Ye.
When a person reaches a certain age, nostalgia becomes a feature in their lives. The disappearance of his biological daughter was regret in Master Gu Er’s heart, and that regret only grew with time.
Ye Qian was ultimately just an adopted daughter. The more Ye Qian proved herself, the more Master Gu Er was reminded of his biological daughter. Was she still alive? If she was, would she be as capable as Ye Qian? Or even better?
Human beings were peculiar creatures. Success led to self-confidence. And Master Gu Er was confident that his genes were amazing and his children would inherit his successful genes. Since his sons weren’t that successful, it had to be the missing daughter who inherited his powerful genes.
What one couldn’t have is always the best. One’s illusion is always prettiest.
However, Master Gu Er had found that illusion in reality. It was like he had stumbled upon a lost treasure.
However, Lu Yan’s loyalty lay with her boss. Therefore, the relationship between Master Gu Er and Gu Nian become unprecedentedly close.
Lu Yan was neither servile nor overbearing towards Master Gu Er. She was not gloating from the fact that Master Gu Er treated her better than most. She didn’t neglect her work because of Master Gu Er’s support either.
In contrast, she worked harder. Compared to his sons, Master Gu Er became more impressed by Lu Yan. Master Gu Er had always admired Ye Qian because she always managed to turn benefits for him after he provided her with valuable opportunities.
However, now Master Gu Er was even more impressed by Lu Yan. This was because Lu Yan didn’t have any opportunities given to her, but she had lived a life not worse than Ye Qian.

I studied the message on my phone with a smile. Then I forwarded it to Jing Tian and my little uncle. The enemy of my enemy could be my friend.
I liked how this was going. I would let them fight among themselves. I was very happy.
However, as the saying goes, extreme happiness can easily lead to sorrow.
I just had my driver’s license, and I drove Jing Ni and Mai Qi to the university using the oldest and most inconspicuous car my little uncle had.
When we arrived at the university for our morning class, the two were covered in cold sweat sitting in the back. That night, they told me they wanted to take the taxi home.
However, as Sister Xing of Sky City, how could I allow my two best friends to take the taxi when they had a free ride home? Where would I put my face?
So in the end, they were ‘warmly’ invited into my car. Both of them refused to sit beside me. The reason was, the fatality rate of the person in the passenger seat was much higher than those in the backseat in a car accident.
I shrugged and let them be.
I drove the car steadily. I looked at them through the rearview mirror smugly, “So, my driving skill is not bad, right? Why are you two so afraid? I’m the driver, and I’m not even scared!”
Mai Qi snorted and rolled her eyes.
Jing Ni smiled and added, “Nanxing, please keep your eyes on the road.”
“Tsk, I know what I’m doing. I might be a new driver, but I already have my license, so don’t worry!”
Suddenly, I hit the brake. The two slammed forward. Mai Qi was caught by surprise, and her face hit the back of the front seat. I could feel her murderous intent through the rearview mirror.
