When Guan Qingmo saw Zheng Mengni, he couldn't help but curse under his breath, a shadow instantly falling over his brows. His voice was low enough to be heard by Tan Yan, and in the unnoticed corners, the temperature behind his sunglasses seemed to drop a few degrees.
Guan Qingmo had initially been skeptical, thinking that Guan Miao was just joking. How could someone like that pervert find a partner? Who would believe it? But damn it, it was true, and she was stunningly beautiful. What right did Guan Su Lin have?
This was someone who had neither character nor quality, and certainly no upbringing—just a worthless bastard. And a bastard at that! Where did this luck come from? The disdain in Guan Qingmo's heart grew stronger.
He had never dealt with someone of this caliber before, so he absolutely refused to accept that Guan Su Lin could actually be with her. Even if it happened, with his petty and calculating nature, he would surely find ways to sabotage it from behind the scenes.
Guan Miao was also dumbfounded. She was afraid that staring too obviously would leave a bad impression on Aunt, but her eyes couldn't help but sneak glances at the pretty face. No, no, she couldn't look any longer. If she did, her uncle would definitely get angry. He had a particularly small tolerance and hated it when others set their sights on what belonged to him—be it people or possessions.
Anyone who dared to covet would not end up well. Seeing Guan Qingmo's drooling expression made Guan Miao deliberately not remind him. Hmph, it was just right for her uncle to discover that Guan Qingmo dared to have thoughts about Aunt; a little lesson would do him good and save everyone from his crazed antics.
Sure enough, her uncle shot a cold glare in their direction and stepped forward, firmly placing the delicate and charming Aunt beside him. He wouldn't even allow Guan Qingmo to look at her; his possessiveness was indeed strong, and Guan Miao couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
Guan Qingmo remained oblivious to the undercurrents around him, focused solely on making sure that Guan Su Lin didn't get what he wanted. He nudged Tan Yan with his elbow as he plotted. This blind fool kept saying he wanted to help them fight for the inheritance.
Guan Su Lin was the biggest obstacle in that plan. As long as that bastard was alive, the main family could never smoothly inherit the family business. Once Guan Su Lin kicked the bucket, his share of the inheritance would belong to them, along with the incredibly desirable Aunt.
Guan Qingmo felt restless; he couldn't quite tell if it was Aunt's allure or simply wanting to see Guan Su Lin suffer that stirred his desires.
However, it didn't matter; the process was the same.
Tan Yan, who had been inexplicably elbowed, remained unfazed, sitting calmly beside him. Guan Qingmo, emboldened by his audacity, leaned in and whispered, "Weren't you boasting quite a bit?"
Tan Yan simply looked at him.
Guan Qingmo lowered his voice even further, speaking in a tone that only the two of them could hear, "Help me get that girl."
Tan Yan raised an eyebrow in confusion.
Seeing that he still hadn’t reacted, Guan Qingmo nudged him again. "Did you hear me?"
Tan Yan smiled faintly but without warmth. "I don't know who you're talking about."
Guan Qingmo cursed under his breath, frustrated by Tan Yan's apparent cluelessness. "Guan Su Lin has been oppressing our family for so many years; I won't let him have it easy. I want everything about him, including his woman."
Tan Yan spoke softly, "Whose?"
Guan Qingmo felt like he might choke on his own frustration. Why was communication so difficult? It was as if Tan Yan was blind and deaf, as if something was wrong with his ears too.
He growled, "That bastard's!"
Despite his calm demeanor, Tan Yan felt a ripple of disturbance within him. He chuckled lightly but said nothing more, his expression chillingly inscrutable.
Suddenly, Tan Yan cryptically remarked, "You can take things from others to give to yourself, but what you desire is a person."
