Chapter 726 - Lost His Sister

Meng Youran won the lawsuit, which brought him both fame and fortune.

There was a lot of evidence showing that Shao Tianze had hurt Luo Jiachi.

Fortunately, Meng Youran could immediately think of defending Shao Tianze on the grounds of mental illness.

And this idea matched Shao Tianze’s perfect response, which enabled him to successfully protect himself in this storm.

On the one hand, Meng Youran won Shao Tianze’s innocence and freedom.

On the other hand, this also showed that his ability should not be underestimated.

However, Shao Tianze was very dissatisfied with Gu Changle because Luo Chen had been taken away by Luo Xi.

On the first night when Shao Tianze left the detention center, he invited Meng Youran to celebrate in the hotel.

And he booked a flight back to Yuncheng.

At the celebration banquet, Shao Tianze drank a lot of wine. He frowned and was unhappy.

Gu Changle could not drink, so she was sober all the time. Seeing Shao Tianze frowning, Gu Changle knew that he was angry because she did not keep Luo Chen.

She pursed her lips, moved to Shao Tianze, and tenderly apologized, “I am sorry. I did not mean it.”

“Stop talking about things that have passed.”

Shao Tianze did not look up at Gu Changle.

Gu Changle furrowed her brows and pestered Shao Tianze again, “Even if Luo Chen were not taken away by Luo Xi, he might not be able to take back the power from Luo Xi with you. Luo Jiachi is still alive.”

Gu Changle’s words made Shao Tianze’s eyes even darker.

She was right. As long as Luo Jiachi was alive, it was difficult to say whether Luo Chen could get control of the Luo Family.

However, as long as Shao Tianze kept Luo Chen and they established cooperation, they could think of ways to do it.

But Gu Changle let Luo Xi take Luo Chen away.

Since Luo Chen had been taken away, Shao Tianze lost all opportunities and possibilities to make a comeback.

This was why he was so unhappy.

Meng Youran was smart. Seeing that Shao Tianze had been drinking with his head down and ignored Gu Changle who wanted to talk to him, Meng Youran persuaded Shao Tianze, “Mr. Shao, Miss Gu is right. As long as Luo Jiachi is alive, Luo Xi will be the master of the Luo Family. Luo Jiachi prefers Luo Xi to Luo Chen. Everyone knows it.”

It was rare for Meng Youran to support her. Gu Changle showed grateful eyes and also said, “He is right. Luo Jiachi prefers Luo Xi. Whatever Luo Chen does, it is useless in Luo Jiachi’s eyes. Only Luo Jiachi’s death can trigger turmoil in the Luo Family. Then, Luo Chen will have the opportunity to seize power.”

Shao Tianze raised his head and glanced at Gu Changle. Then, he drank the wine in the glass, put the glass on the table, and said, “If Luo Chen is in my hands, how long can Luo Jiachi live?”

After undergoing such a blow, Luo Jiachi was weak and dying, and his physical condition was not as good as before.

Shao Tianze could let Luo Jiachi die with some small tricks.

However, Gu Changle had never considered working with Luo Chen. She was too stupid.

Shao Tianze glanced at Gu Changle disgustingly.

Gu Changle just put on an innocent expression.

In the past, when Gu Changle put on an innocent expression, Shao Tianze would stop being angry with her in his heart.

However, the longer he spent with Gu Changle, the more stupid things he saw Gu Changle did.

He gradually became impatient with her innocent expression.

Now, every time he saw Gu Changle, he felt irritable.

He turned his head away, not wanting to see her face.

While drinking, Meng Youran watched Gu Changle kept pleasing Shao Tianze and making apologies. He laughed at her stupidity in his heart.

However, he couldn’t say it bluntly.

He said to Shao Tianze with sympathy, “Mr. Shao, you should stop arguing with Miss Gu about this matter. Some things depend on luck. It is doomed that Luo Chen cannot inherit the Luo Family. It might be.”

Gu Changle nodded in agreement, “That’s right.”

Shao Tianze kept hearing Gu Changle say “that’s right”. He felt there were calluses in his ears.

After this, Meng Youran seemed to have thought of something and said to Shao Tianze, “Luo Chen has always been very clear about his goal. Although he was detained by you at that time, maybe he got some news or guessed something from what Miss Gu said.”

Shao Tianze nodded, “Yeah. He is smart.”

After saying this, Shao Tianze looked at Gu Changle again.

He almost said, “You are a fool.”

When Gu Changge was alive, Gu Changle had been smarter than she was now. After all, Gu Changge was a powerful enemy. Any flaws would be discovered by her. Therefore, facing Gu Changge, Gu Changle needed to be cautious all the time and pretended to be truly clever.

However, after Gu Changge passed away, Gu Changle was completely relaxed.

As the powerful enemy died, Gu Changle’s brain degenerated.

She did stupid things one after another.

Sometimes, Shao Tianze even wondered whether he had implanted the stupidest person’s heart into Gu Changle’s chest, which led to her current state.

Shao Tianze lowered his eyes, not looking at Gu Changle. However, while analyzing Meng Youran’s words, he asked her, “Before Luo Chen was taken away by Luo Xi, did he tell you that he wanted to work with me?”

This question caused Gu Changle to show a guilty expression.

Luo Chen did mention cooperation. Otherwise, Gu Changle would not have been so guilty.

Seeing Gu Changle lowered her eyes and was speechless, Meng Youran knew that Luo Chen must have offered to cooperate with them.

And it must have been arrogantly rejected by this brainless woman.

Shao Tianze turned around to look at Gu Changle, who lowered her head and said nothing. He frowned, “He mentioned it?”

“Yes.”

Gu Changle answered.

This made Shao Tianze even more furious. He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it.

Seeing Shao Tianze’s state, Gu Changle said worriedly, “Don’t drink too much. I know I did it wrong. You were detained at that time, and I was unable to contact you for your opinion. I felt that Luo Chen had nothing then. I didn’t think you would cooperate with him, so I rejected him.”

Shao Tianze turned his head and squinted at her, “Even if he has nothing, we can still work with him, as long as he is the younger son of the Luo Family.”

Sometimes, the basic conditions for cooperation were not only money and property.

The chips could be varied. Among them, social status was the most important.

Being blamed by Shao Tianze, Gu Changle felt sorry, creased her brow, and looked at Shao Tianze, “Tianze, I have said that I know I was wrong.”

Shao Tianze was a little impatient, “What is the use of your confession now? Think about it. How much have we lost?”

Gu Changle didn’t care, “We did not lose much.”

Shao Tianze sneered and asked her, “Think carefully. We ain’t lose much?”

Gu Changle lowered her eyes, “At most, we have lost Shao Xue’s dowry.”

After saying this, Gu Changle even complained, “I told you not to give her so much dowry, but you refuse to listen to me. You insisted on giving so much. Shao Xue is already married to Luo Xi. Who knows if she will return to the Shao Family to help us.”

Meng Youran listened but did not comment.

But Shao Tianze knitted his brows, “Shao Xue will not help us.”

Gu Changle raised her head and looked at Shao Tianze, “The dowry we gave her is wasted. We lost too much.”

“Not only did I lose money, but I also lost a younger sister.”

Shao Tianze’s fingers slowly clenched into a fist.

The Shao Family was in a financial crisis. Shao Tianze had intended to marry Shao Xue to Luo Xi to obtain help from the Luo Family, which was to trade small for big.

But now, instead of getting help from the Luo Family, Shao Tianze had lost a dowry worth 50 million yuan and a sister who could be used as a bargaining chip.

This was a typical example of losing both bait and fish at the same time.

Shao Tianze was in a bad mood.

Gu Changle felt angry when she talked about the dowry. She couldn’t help but continue to complain to Shao Tianze, “The wench’s heart was not with us long ago. I did not agree that you gave her so much dowry. However, you believed her blindly. How annoying!”

Gu Changle couldn’t shut up when she started speaking.

Shao Tianze lowered his head and did not look at Changle, but his eyes became darker and darker.

Gu Changle was unaware of it and continued, “Shao Xue has been nice to Miaomiao. Maybe she knew the b*tch Gu Changge before. Now our Shao Family is in trouble. She may have been secretly reporting to Song Yunxuan. I think you need to investigate whether your sister knew Gu Changge before.”

“Enough!”

Finally, Shao Tianze couldn’t bear Gu Changle’s endless chatter and scolded her with frowned brows.

Gu Changle was so fiercely scolded by Shao Tianze.

She suddenly stopped talking and looked at Shao Tianze incredulously, “Tianze, what’s wrong with you?”

Shao Tianze wrinkled his brow and looked at her, “Do you know that you are irritating?”

Gu Changle was at a loss.

Shao Tianze controlled his emotions and prevented him from looking at Gu Changle.

Lest he could not help but want to continue scolding her.

Shao Tianze stood up and walked to the door.

Only Gu Changle sat in the same place and didn’t move for a long time.

She felt that Shao Tianze had changed. He had never been so angry with her before.

Why was he so fierce to her now after she only did a little wrong?

As Gu Changle was thinking, she felt wronged, and tears gradually filled her eyes.

She slowly clenched her fingers.

Only Meng Youran felt his feelings were vented as he watched that Gu Changle was scolded by Shao Tianze so fiercely.
