Defrosting The Cold Young Master - Chapter 2217 - 2221: Unexpected

Moreover, more than two years had passed, and Zhan Jinchuan didn’t even know the name of that girl. The people he sent out returned with the message that there was no such person.

He changed direction and began searching for the Jade Pendant.

A year later, the Jade Pendant was found at an auction.

He spent a high price to buy it back and gave it to Zhan Jinchuan.

From the owner who auctioned the Jade Pendant, he learned that it was sold to him by a young girl.

The owner bought the Jade Pendant for six million from the girl.

He spent eight million to buy the Jade Pendant back from the auction house.

In other words, the girl saved Zhan Jinchuan’s life and got six million.

That girl was Ruan Feifei.

To him, Brother Chuan’s life was naturally priceless, far beyond what a Jade Pendant could offset.

Had Zhan Jinchuan not encountered Ruan Feifei again, even if Ruan Feifei sold the Jade Pendant for six million, he would still feel that Brother Chuan owed a debt of gratitude to her.

But after Ruan Feifei was brought into the Gu Family by Zhan Jinchuan and stayed for a while, he dismissed this notion.

He discovered that Ruan Feifei had ill intentions.

Although Ruan Feifei acted without leaving traces, he could sense that she was trying to seduce him.

Moreover, Ruan Feifei was very calculating, buying people’s hearts, attempting to establish herself in the Gu Family and become its mistress.

Her ambition was too great.

So great that it disgusted Gu Junzhu.

He was someone who couldn’t tolerate a speck of sand in his eyes.

Thus, he unhesitatingly drove Ruan Feifei out and ordered that she never set foot in the Gu Family again.

Ruan Feifei was driven out in disgrace by him.

Afterward, Ruan Feifei even used the Gu Family’s name to swindle and deceive in public places.

After he sent people to warn her, Ruan Feifei finally behaved.

After these events, his view of Ruan Feifei changed.

If Ruan Feifei had been kind and pure, he would have thought her life-saving grace to Brother Chuan should be remembered a lifetime, with no limit on how she should be repaid.

But when he found out Ruan Feifei was selfish and scheming, he felt that her saving Brother Chuan had already been offset by the Jade Pendant she sold for six million.

In other words, between Brother Chuan and Ruan Feifei, the transaction was settled, and no life-saving grace existed.

He had openly discussed these words with Zhan Jinchuan.

But Zhan Jinchuan thought otherwise.

He firmly believed that if Ruan Feifei hadn’t saved him that day, he would have died in that cellar.

Gu Junzhu, however, felt that it might not be the case.

At that time, Zhan Jinchuan’s subordinates had already searched near the mountain village.

Given a little more time, his subordinates could have found him.

Even without Ruan Feifei, Zhan Jinchuan could have escaped successfully.

Of course, had Ruan Feifei been a kind and simple girl, he wouldn’t have entertained such “what if” scenarios.

Zhan Jinchuan, though, felt that one shouldn’t speculate, but look at the real, occurring results.

Perhaps, without Ruan Feifei, even if his subordinates had found the small mountain village, they might not have discovered him hidden in the cellar by the crime gang.

Gu Junzhu sneered at this notion, mocking that if his soldiers were so useless, it only proved he was an incompetent leader.

Zhan Jinchuan chuckled and stopped arguing with him.

Being loyal and righteous is a virtue.

As long as Ruan Feifei didn’t go too far, Gu Junzhu couldn’t be bothered to interfere in Zhan Jinchuan’s private affairs.

When the news reached him that Ruan Feifei had rejected Zhan Jinchuan’s pursuit and was unwilling to marry him, he was very surprised.
