nLin Yu stopped in his tracks and nodded at Feng Jia as a greeting.

n

nFeng Pei said, “He’s Lin Yu, right?”

n

nFeng Jia walked to his car. “Yes.”

n

n“They’re really close. With that glance just now, those who don’t know would think that Lin Yu is Gu Chu’s fiancé.” Feng Pei curled her lips in disdain and continued to babble non-stop.

n

n“They are childhood sweethearts. They are close to begin with, but since they are so close, why doesn’t Gu Chu marry him?”

n

nFeng Jia heard this and looked at her expressionlessly.

n

nOnly then did Feng Pei shut her mouth.

n

nLin Yu had come to pick up Gu Chu on his way to the airport to do some business. As she scrolled through Weibo, she said, “Lin Yu, I haven’t thanked you for helping me find a lawyer.”

n

nLin Yu laughed. “It’s a small matter. However, he said that there was already someone who requested him to deal with the same matter.”

n

nGu Chuyi’s expression froze.

n

nShe had not even told her secretary about what had happened to her, so there was only one person who did this.

n

nLin Yu saw her expression and guessed. “Feng Jia?”

n

nGu Chu nodded. “Yes.”

n

nIf it was really him, he probably cared about her, right?

n

nAs soon as this thought came to her mind, she laughed to herself. She still couldn’t change her self-indulgent behavior.

n

nIf he really cared about her, he wouldn’t be so confused about Gu Wan, because he also knew that she would be angry if she saw them together.

n

nLin Yu sent her all the way to her apartment. As soon as Gu Chu got out of the car, she said to him, “I’ll transfer the lawyer fees to you.”

n

nShe had to give it to him even though he didn’t need the money.

n

nShe added, “I still have to unpack so I won’t invite you in. I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”

n

nLin Yu nodded and took out a document and handed it to her. “Here.”

n

nGu Huan took it in surprise. When she saw the words, her eyes widened. “This is?”

n

nLin Yu smiled. “Didn’t you lose a business? I gave you another one.”

n

nGu Chu was touched when she heard that. She said tearfully, “Oh my God, you’re my brother!”

n

nLin Yu waved his hand. “That’s enough. Go back and rest.”

n

n“Be careful on the road then.”

n

nGu Chu happily closed the car door, dragged her suitcase, and returned to the apartment.

n

nLin Yu didn’t start the car until the lights were on at her house.

n

nThe apartment she lived in was given to her by her parents on her 18th birthday. Although it wasn’t as expensive as the one Feng Jia lived in Jinyuan, it was still one of the most upscale residential areas in Haicheng City.

n

nGu Chu was really tired. When she got home, she didn’t even pack her suitcase and lay on the sofa.

n

nShe ordered a takeout. She fell asleep but was woken up by a call from the receptionist of the building.

n

nShe hummed twice. “I ordered takeout. Tell him to come over.”

n

n“Okay, Miss Gu.” The receptionist hung up and told the takeout guy to go upstairs.

n

nShe didn’t know why, but she wanted to eat something sour, so she ordered a serving of hot and sour noodles.

n

nHowever, she didn’t even take two bites before she started to feel nauseous.

n

nShe immediately stopped eating and took out her phone to set an appointment. She planned to go to the hospital to see the gastroenterologist the next afternoon.

n

nRight after the appointment was made, Lin Yin video-called her. As soon as she picked up, she saw her naked body.

n

nShe immediately took a screenshot and threatened in a sinister manner, “I took a screenshot. If I don’t have money in the future, I’ll use this to threaten you. If you don’t send money, I’ll send this photo to your family and friends!”

n

n“Aiya, you’re so annoying!” Lin Yin quickly put on a t-shirt and said shyly, “You usually don’t pick up so quickly.”

n

nGu Chu snorted.

n

nLin Yin asked her while applying body lotion on her body, “By the way, I heard from my brother that you just came back from Yangcheng City, and you came back with Feng Jia. How is it? Have the two of you improved your relationship in the past few days?”

n

nGu Chu shook her head. “No.”

n

nThey hadn’t even slept together. How could they get closer?

n

n“Then you’d better hurry up!” Lin Yin said anxiously. “I’ve been thinking about Gu Wan these past few days. I suddenly feel that she’s such a scary woman. I’m afraid that you’ll be at a disadvantage.”

n

nShe added, “Think about it. If you break off the engagement with Feng Jia, what will happen to you?”

n

n“I will become the laughingstock of Yangcheng City,” Gu Chu replied.
