Gu Jinlan didn't give William any face at all, "It has nothing to do with fate. Today I am here with my husband to talk to you about something."

William reminded: "Miss Lan, you seem to have forgotten that I am your savior."

Gu Jinlan smiled and said, "Of course I remember, that's why you can live here for free."

William glanced at Shi Ye in surprise.

They are indeed a couple, and they speak in the same way.

Xia Ni'an said ashamedly: "Jinlan, Master Shi, I was not thoughtful enough. This is your house. I should have asked for your opinion before bringing William back to live."

Gu Jinlan said quickly: "No need, since you are allowed to live here, you can bring back whoever you want."

She said that on purpose for William to hear, not because she had any objection to Shanian letting William live here.

William couldn't beat Shi Ye and Gu Jinlan with one mouth, so he changed the direction of provocation:

"Oh, by the way, I heard that two people died at your wedding last night. This kind of thing should be very unlucky in your place, right?"

As he spoke, a gloating smile appeared in his blue eyes, "This is so unlucky, I'm afraid it will affect your marriage and love fortunes, right? Can you still grow old together?"

Shi Ye's handsome brows suddenly frowned.

What happened last night has been bothering him, and he finally convinced himself that it was nothing.

Just as Lan Lan said, they are still alive, they are still together, and everything is perfect.

"Brother!" Shanian quickly signaled William with her eyes to stop talking.

William saw Shi Ye’s expression change, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

OK, he won this round.

Just as William was secretly delighted, Gu Jinlan said, "I didn't expect Mr. William to understand our traditional customs. However, the so-called unlucky is only the perception of ordinary people. It is not the case for us."

The smile on William’s face faded a little, “What do you mean?”

Gu Jinlan said: "Seeing blood can also be a form of sacrifice."

Hearing this, Shi Ye looked at Gu Jinlan with some confusion.

Gu Jinlan continued, "It's like hitting a living person with a stake. Through sacrifice, the gods and spirits can be appeased to maintain peace."

William didn't quite understand what Gu Jinlan meant, so he asked Xia Ni'an, "What does it mean to hit a living person?"

Shanian said: "I don't quite understand it, but I have heard that in some major projects, living people are buried as cornerstones. It seems to be a feudal and superstitious sacrificial ritual."

William was so shocked that his eyes widened slightly and he looked at Gu Jinlan in surprise.

Gu Jinlan had a calm expression on his face, his pointed chin slightly raised, and he looked cold-blooded and ruthless.

Then look at Shi Ye next to him. He has a blank expression on his face, and in his eyes as deep as the night sky there is a cold arrogance that looks down on the world.

This couple are really ruthless people, even more perverted than him. No wonder he is always helpless.

Seeing William’s stunned look, Shi Ye tried to suppress the corners of his lips and looked at Gu Jinlan lovingly.

In order to prevent William from gloating over her misfortune, Lan Lan could really make up any excuse.

But he didn't have the patience to argue with William anymore. "What happened in the hotel last night has been blocked from the outside world. You know this, it seems that you have deployed a lot of spies in Haicheng. Since you know so much about Haicheng, you should also know that Fan Wen, the sister of Fan Lang, whom you are going to deal with, is now a member of the Shi family, right?"

When William heard Shi Ye mention the Fan family, his expression instantly became gloomy, without any joking.

Xia Ni'an asked uneasily, "Master Shi just said that what we want to discuss today is related to me. Is he referring to the Fan family?"

Of course she knew that her scumbag ex-husband's sister was the young mistress of the Shi family.

That’s why the people in the Fan family dare to be so lawless.

Lan Lan had asked her before, have you ever thought about punishing Fan Lang?

Of course she had thought about it, but she had left the Roland family before and was weak and alone, and was no match for the Fan family.

She didn't have the face to go back and ask for help.

Now Master Shi suddenly mentioned Fan Lang’s sister. Does he want to protect the Fan family?

William suddenly sat up straight, his expression became sinister, “Master Shi, if you want to stop me from dealing with the Fan family, don’t blame me for ignoring our ridiculous blood relationship.”

Xia Nian looked at Shi Ye nervously.

Shi Ye shook his head slightly: "No, I came here to cooperate with you today."

William raised his eyebrows slightly, "Cooperation?"

Shi Ye said concisely: "I was once given a chronic poison by someone from the Shi family. Now I suspect it was Fan Wen. Since we have a common enemy, we can cooperate temporarily."

Shanian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly heard William burst into laughter.

"Hahaha..." William laughed extremely exaggeratedly.

Shi Ye's brows sank, "What are you laughing at?"

“Hahahaha…” William couldn’t stop laughing and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Shi Ye’s expression became increasingly gloomy.

"Brother!" Shanian shouted, "Stop laughing."

William raised his hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes gracefully, and finally stopped after a light cough.

But when he saw Shi Ye's cold face, he couldn't help laughing again:

"The pampered young master of the Shi family... hahaha... I thought that with your noble status, you should have lived a comfortable life in the Shi family since childhood hahaha... I didn't expect hahaha... that you would be poisoned by your own family."

Shi Ye clenched his fists, "Is it so funny?"

"Of course." William's smile suddenly disappeared. "The legitimate young master of the Shi family actually had the same fate as an illegitimate child like me. How can it not be funny?"

Shi Ye sneered, "You are very happy to know that I had a bad life in the Shi family."

"That's great." William smiled again. "At least someone has the same experience as me. It makes me suddenly feel that the days I've been through aren't that bad after all."

Shi Ye lowered his eyes slightly and stared at the tearful smile in William's eyes.

At this moment, he was not angry anymore, but instead felt a trace of sympathy in his heart.

Xia Ni'an sighed softly, "When William and I were young, we were in that castle and almost died at the hands of our so-called relatives several times..."

"Shut up!" William turned his eyes and glared at Shanian, "Who told you to say that!"

He didn't want Shi Ye to laugh at him!

Shi Ye saw what William was thinking and calmed down his tone: "No matter what unfair treatment you have suffered, you don't have to feel inferior, because we are not the ones who are wrong."

William was stunned for a moment, then said proudly: "I am not inferior to others. Soon, the entire Roland family will be in my pocket."

He has become a king that no one dares to underestimate, even though he still dreams about that bad experience in the past.

William was upset when Shi Ye saw through his heart, "Then why do you think I will cooperate with you?"
