Chapter 692: Inviting Gu Yang to Join the Bass Family?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Her sister embraced the consequences of her body and identity without hesitation, whether they were positive or negative. It was a choice she made.
But witnessing her sister shoulder the blame was something she couldn’t bear.
Gu Yang understood that Gu Jin had agreed to collaborate with the Bass family because of him. Unable to contain his concern, he inquired, “Will you suffer if she partners with the Bass family?”
Meeting his gaze, Gu Jin pondered, “What if I do?”
Gu Yang’s response was resolute, “Then we won’t proceed with the collaboration!”
For him, cooperation wasn’t an act of charity; it had to yield benefits for both parties.
Moreover, how could the allure of essential oils compare to his sister’s well-being?
Gu Jin chuckled, her spirits lifted. “Don’t fret, I won’t come out at a loss.”
For her, whether it was cooperating with the Bass family or the Katie family, it boiled down to choosing the right partner to thrive financially.
At the Ruan residence,
“Brother!”
Ruan Meng dashed upstairs in search of Ruan Bin. “Brother, guess what? I ran into those bothersome Katie siblings today.”
Ruan Bin’s expression darkened. “They didn’t cause you any trouble, did they?”
Shaking her head vigorously, Ruan Meng reassured him, “No, but they targeted Gu Yang.”
Concern creased Ruan Bin’s brow. “Is she alright?”
Eagerly, Ruan Meng pulled him into her room, bubbling with excitement. “She’s fine. But guess what, Brother? Gu Yang is also a mutant.”
Surprise flickered in Ruan Bin’s eyes; he hadn’t anticipated this revelation.
“You’re shocked, aren’t you? Gu Yang is even a hypnotist. She’s even better than Tally!” Ruan Meng savored her brother’s surprise, relishing the opportunity to share the details of what had transpired.
“I can’t stop laughing. Back in Continent M, Tally was so conceited because of her hypnotic abilities. Who would’ve thought someone would put her in her place the moment she set foot in China?”
The shock in Ruan Bin’s eyes deepened, his mind already swirling with thoughts beyond Ruan
Meng’s comprehension.
The emergence of a hypnotist surpassing Tally hinted at a potential reshuffling of the Dark Web rankings. Each new contender became a prime target for the influential factions.
Concerning the enigmatic figure behind the Qingya Residence, feared even by Devon Katie, Ruan Bin speculated it might be none other than Xiao Yize, the heir of China’s foremost family, the Xiaos.
“Devon seems keen on recruiting Gu Yang. The Katie family has always been assertive. If they can’t secure something, they’d sooner obliterate it than see it in another’s hands. I fear they might act against Gu Yang,” Ruan Meng expressed her apprehension.
Despite Gu Yang’s formidable hypnosis, facing the entire Katie family posed a daunting challenge.
“Why not extend an invitation for Gu Yang to join the Bass family?” Ruan Meng suggested, her eyes darting around as she strategized.
“The elders would be thrilled to have a hypnotist surpassing Tally. They couldn’t ask for more. Plus, Gu Yang’s connection to our father’s family will undoubtedly earn our family favor in their eyes,” Ruan Meng asserted.
“Our Bass family can rival the Katie family, especially with Gu Yang on our side. She’d be our ace in the hole,” she concluded, brimming with excitement at the prospect.
Ruan Bin remained skeptical, his response tempered. “It’s a nice thought, but it’s not very practical.”
Annoyed by his dismissal, Ruan Meng demanded, “Why not?”
“Think about it. Do you really believe Gu Yang lacks support?” Ruan Bin countered.
Momentarily quiet, Ruan Meng conceded, “Okay, I see your point. It would certainly be advantageous for Gu Yang to join our family. And considering she hasn’t aligned with any faction yet, we could make a play for her. Plus, we’re still friends.”
“You can give it a shot,” Ruan Bin relented.
Had Xiao Yize not entered the picture, Ruan Bin might have entertained the idea further.
Ruan Meng promptly reached out to Gu Yang via WeChat, only to be met with a cold response.
Frustrated, she grumbled, “She’s not interested.”
