Xing Can's strange behavior made Xing Yuan unsure whether to proceed with the next step.
So she simply stopped what she was going to do and watched the show.
Xing Can styled his hair handsomely, smiling brightly, and said affectionately, "Wanwan, I like you. Will you accept me?"
Gu Wan's face was expressionless, but she gently shook her hair and politely said, "We are not suitable."
Xing Can did not give up, and took a few more steps towards Gu Wan, "I am sincere with you."
Gu Wan gently shook her head and said, "I'm sorry."
Xing Can's eyes turned red and he couldn't help but say, "You didn't say that last time. You clearly hinted that if I helped you, you would agree to me."
Gu Wan's expression showed a trace of emotion. She pursed her lips, lowered her head as if feeling inferior, "I'm sorry, I don't deserve you."
"You do," Xing Can said, tightly holding Gu Wan's hand.
There were only a few people in the underground parking lot, so Gu Wan didn't struggle away. She just looked at Xing Can sadly, "I'm sorry, but I mind very much."
"When I stand at the pinnacle of the entertainment industry one day, I will agree to you," Gu Wan promised.
Xing Can's expression darkened. He wasn't a fool and didn't believe women's nonsense.
He had heard these words countless times since he was young, but each time, those two women had never kept their promises. Over time, he understood that those words were just lies.
However, Xing Can did not expose her at this moment. He even smiled gently and reached for Gu Wan's hand.
Gu Wan did not dodge, but gave Xing Can a gentle look.
Xing Can inwardly sneered, but his expression remained gentle, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Gu Wan looked around, confirmed no one was there, and gently kissed Xing Can's cheek. "A Can, help me. As long as I become a true top star, I will retire from the industry for you and marry you."
Xing Can's fingers moved slightly, and after a moment, he nodded, "I will help you."
Gu Wan got her confirmation and left with light steps.
As Xing Can watched Gu Wan's retreating back, a dark glint flashed in his eyes. Heh! Did she really think he was like those naive, pampered fools she grew up with?
If gentle means didn't work, he would resort to force. He wasn't incapable of taking what he wanted.
He made a call and asked directly, "Sister, will you help me?"
He knew that Xing Yuan was always watching him, so he spoke without reservation.
Xing Yuan smiled. Tsk, how could she not help?
Her brother was so well-behaved, following the path she designed. Of course, she had to help.
"How do you want me to help you?" Xing Yuan asked directly.
Xing Can smiled, his voice growing louder and more manic, "Naturally, to destroy her, and keep her by my side forever!"
"Do it yourself," Xing Yuan said decisively. How could she do something that would bring her, a model businesswoman, into debt?
Xing Can frowned and softened his voice, "Sister, you do it. I don't want her to hate me."
Xing Yuan sneered, "Heh! Xing Can, have you forgotten that our relationship isn't good enough for me to bear the consequences of your mistakes?"
After hanging up, Xing Yuan looked annoyed. She never expected him to ask her for this favor.
She thought he wanted her help to make their relationship official!
She retaliated by sacrificing her own kin, making an anonymous report. "Hello, I suspect Xing Group is evading taxes. Please investigate."
For such a large company, there were at least millions that Xing Yuan knew of, not to mention those she didn't.
Xing Yuan reported anonymously. Even if government officials knew it was her, they would keep it confidential.
However, she didn't intend to hide it.
What was wrong with her being a law-abiding citizen?
After Xing's father was taken away for investigation, Xing Can became even more reckless.
Although he didn't believe Gu Wan, he still wanted to give her a chance.
He invested several large sums of money, and within a few months, Gu Wan, who was already quite famous, rose to the top in popularity.
Although she didn't have many outstanding works, in a sense, her dream had come true, as she had reached the pinnacle of the entertainment industry.
So Xing Can went to her and asked her to fulfill her promise to him. As expected, she refused.
Her reason was that she didn't need such superficial fame; she wanted to reach the top position purely through her own efforts and works.
Although he had expected this, Xing Can was still heartbroken, as he was serious about her.
But she had only used him. This was a devastating blow to anyone.
Afterward, he, temporarily awakened from his infatuation, discovered that the company's assets had shrunk. Moreover, because the previous tax evasion incident had been leaked, many people questioned the company's credibility.
Xing Can knew when Xing's father was taken away, and he didn't care, even feeling fortunate. But now, it was different. The company was in a mess, and with his current abilities, he couldn't handle it. Inevitably, he thought of Xing Yuan.
The two agreed to meet.
As soon as they met, Xing Yuan started to mock him.
"What? Finally realized it?" Xing Yuan's tone was full of mockery, and she clearly enjoyed watching the show.
Xing Can pursed his lips. At this point, even a fool would realize what had happened.
He had no doubt that Xing Yuan was the one orchestrating everything behind the scenes.
"You, you did this on purpose, but why?" Xing Can asked with genuine confusion. Although he had provoked Xing Yuan a few times, it shouldn't warrant such severe retaliation.
"Why what? Can't your sister be a good person?" Xing Yuan rolled her eyes, saying casually.
"You're not," Xing Can stated calmly and confidently.
If someone told him his sister had committed murder or arson, he might believe it, but he absolutely wouldn't believe she had ruined their family business just to be a good person.
"Fine," Xing Yuan pouted, knowing her words were unconvincing.
Xing Yuan's lips curved upwards, her tone full of laughter, "My reason is very simple: I'm helping you, as you requested!"
"What? When did I ever ask you to help me like this?" Xing Can asked, bewildered.
"Alas, good intentions lead to bad results!" Xing Yuan sighed, glancing at Xing Can, who was trying hard to recall, and then directly told him.
"Back then, my dear brother complained to me every day about how much he had to learn, and said it would be great if this damn company didn't exist. Although I didn't bankrupt the company, at least the position of CEO wouldn't fall to you.
From now on, you just need to sit back and collect money every day. Happy?"
Xing Yuan raised her eyebrows, her smile incredibly cunning.
