Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!

Chapter 17: Chapter 17 You Touched Gu Moqian's Woman

Today, I originally planned to have some fun with He Qianyun, but unexpectedly, I ran into Miss Ji again—what a small world.

"Mr. Gu, you've misunderstood. I was just joking with Miss Ji earlier." Ji Chuyang, typically one to bully the weak and fear the strong, immediately cowered upon seeing Gu Moqian.

"Then perhaps I should joke with Young Master Ji as well." Gu Moqian spoke lazily, his gaze terrifyingly cold. "Starting tomorrow, the Ji Family's stocks will plummet continuously until they crash."

Ji Chuyang's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and he trembled as he spoke: "Mr. Gu, there must be a misunderstanding. Last night's incident wasn't my intention. I was being manipulated... Yes, that's it—it was Miss Ji's cousin, Ji Shanshan, who made me do it!"

At this stage, the only way out was to heap all the blame onto Ji Shanshan. After all, their relationship was purely one of mutual exploitation.

Miss Ji's cold smirk deepened.

Ji Shanshan's underhanded dealings with Ji Chuyang were something she had known about for a long time.

Moreover, judging by Gu Moqian's lack of surprise, it was clear he also knew exactly what was going on.

"Regardless of what happened, you dared to lay a hand on my woman."
