Chapter 9: Be My Servant

"Is my son not worthy?"

"Wow, your sarcasm is spot-on."

That useless man, if it weren't for the backing he has as your son, wouldn't have a single quality to compare with Gu Yanran.

Of course, Li Yun knew his son, that useless fool, was not worthy of Gu Yanran. He was merely a toad dreaming of eating swan meat.

It was a pity Li Yun never actually intended to match them.

"Mr. Gu, bad habits can be corrected gradually. I have the time, so I could help educate your daughter. What do you think?" Li Yun looked at Gu Yanran and her father with a smile.

Gu Yanran naturally wanted to refuse flatly, "You're not my father; what right do you have to educate me?"

However, Gu Yunxiao stepped forward and said, "President Li is a very busy man; we wouldn't dare waste his valuable time."

"Alright, I don't want to waste time on idle talk anymore. Now, I'll give you two options; you can choose yourselves."

Li Yun changed his tone, issuing an ultimatum.

"President Li, please tell us."

"The first option: your daughter had my son's legs broken, so now I'll find someone to amputate both of her legs, and we'll be even. The Li family will no longer trouble you."

Hearing he wanted to amputate her legs, Gu Yanran was frightened and took a few steps back.

If she lost both legs, her life would be cast into darkness.

Even Gu Yunxiao frowned; he would rather die than see his daughter lose her legs.

"So, what is the second option?" Gu Yunxiao asked, frowning.

"The second option is, of course, less violent. Mr. Gu, you said your daughter lacks discipline, correct? Well, I could use a servant. If Miss Gu can bear to be my servant for three years, I'll take care of disciplining her."

Be your servant?

Not only Gu Yunxiao, but also Gu Yanran, were stunned. What kind of condition was that?

Would a man of his status, the richest man in Jinling, need a servant?

It seemed more like a pretext—he simply wanted to keep her close to restore the Li family's honor.

Gu Yanran already suspected Li Yun's intentions; keeping her close was simply to give her more contact with his son, hoping she would accept him.

"If Yanran can stay as President Li's servant, it would be a blessing for her. After all, we'll be grateful for your guidance," Gu Yunxiao responded, choosing the second option without hesitation.

From being the young lady of the Gu family, she was reduced to being Li Yun's servant. Although her status had dropped considerably, Li Yun was not just anyone; he was the richest man in Jinling, head of one of the most powerful families.

There was no shortage of women who wished to be by his side, even without the opportunity. In a way, Gu Yanran was gaining this chance.

"Father, how can you…?"

"It's settled, Yanran. From now on, you will serve President Li."

This time, Gu Yunxiao made the decision for Gu Yanran.

In this way, not only was the Gu family protected, but Gu Yanran as well—so why not do it?

"What's the matter? Does Miss Gu seem displeased with the idea?"

"Would she prefer the first option instead?"

"In any case, I won't force you. You can choose either option; it's up to you."

Li Yun reclined in his chair, appearing to have no intention of pressuring her.

"I…"

Gu Yanran wanted to say that she didn't want to stay with Li Yun, let alone marry Li Mingshun, that useless man.

But when she remembered the first option and the threat of losing her legs, Gu Yanran felt a little scared.

"I… I agree to be your servant," Gu Yanran said, lowering her head, left with no other choice.

"Good! Congratulations on making the right choice."

"But words can be fleeting; let's sign an agreement."

As soon as Li Yun ordered, Su Xiaowan immediately prepared the paper.

Resigned, Gu Yanran signed what seemed to be a servant contract.

However, Li Yun didn't stop there. He also recorded a video in which Gu Yanran voluntarily declared that she would stay by his side as his servant to care for him.

For Li Yun, the agreement and video had little value, but he was sure Gu Yanran wouldn't have the courage to back out.

And those documents might be useful to bother Mo Bufan later on.

"Ding! The host has forced Gu Yanran to be his servant. The host has stolen 40 luck points and 4,000 villain points from protagonist Mo Bufan."

"The host currently has 190 luck points and 15,000 villain points."

Gu Yanran wasn't the protagonist for nothing; by making her his servant, he gained luck and villain points.

If he managed to win her over, he would probably obtain even more luck points and villain points.

But Li Yun was in no hurry; as they say, good things take time. If he was going to play, he would play well.

"President Li, since this matter is settled, could you have mercy on the Gu family?" Gu Yunxiao, seeing that Gu Yanran had also signed a written document and recorded the video, felt that everything had been fulfilled and wanted to know Li Yun's attitude.

"Not so fast; there's an important matter left. If it's resolved, I won't trouble the Gu family again."

"May I ask what you're referring to?"

"The person responsible for injuring my son. I cannot let that person get away with it," said Li Yun coldly.

Gu Yanran's issue was temporarily resolved; now it was Mo Bufan's turn.

Having assaulted his son, how could he allow Mo Bufan to continue acting freely?

"The one who assaulted your son is a guard named Mo Bufan. Does President Li want…?"

"To dare break my son's legs so arrogantly in broad daylight, and remain so defiant? The Gu Corporation should set an example. Besides, I think the best place for Mo Bufan is not the company, but prison. What do you think?"

Arrest Mo Bufan?

This time, both Gu Yunxiao and his daughter completely agreed.

It was precisely Mo Bufan, with his reckless behavior, who had caused them to lose so much and had led to Gu Yanran ending up as Li Yun's servant. Gu Yanran was willing to break Mo Bufan's legs.

Although Mo Bufan had been recommended by an old friend of Gu Yunxiao's, this time he didn't mind losing that friendship.

"Since there are no objections, I want you personally to inform Mo Bufan of his dismissal and go with the police to have him arrested."

To have Gu Yanran fire Mo Bufan and hand him over to the police in person.

Let's see if Mo Bufan appreciated this "gift."
