The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 204: Revealing Chi Yu’s Hidden Secret

"I was just casually saying it, just joking with you."

Gu Yuan snorted coldly, "You’re an adult, and my elder, who has seen more storms than I’ve had meals. You should know what jokes can be made and what can’t. I’ve acquired that Nansha plot, you should know how much financial strain it puts on me, it nearly wipes me out. And you just casually ask for Nansha? Why don’t you just say you want the whole Gu Group?!"

Wen Bo: "..."

Of course he wants the Gu Group.

It’s only a matter of time.

Wen Bo kept smiling, speaking cordially, "Don’t get upset, I’m just joking with you. Taking it seriously just ruins the fun. Actually, I meant something else. The Weilan project was halted and the funds can’t circulate. I’m really at a loss here."

"When was the Weilan project halted? How come I haven’t heard about this?"

Gu Yuan appeared genuinely unaware, slowly sipping the coffee on the table.

Wen Bo spoke kindly, "It happened a few days ago. Weilan originally branched from the Gu Group, you can’t just watch it die."

"It’s true that Weilan branched from the Gu Group, but it’s been under your management, and now Weilan has no ties with the Gu Group." Gu Yuan made it clear that she didn’t want to meddle in Weilan’s affairs. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Wen Bo, boasting just a few days ago, was unexpectedly struck by Gu Yuan stopping Weilan’s project. A flourishing project being halted was like a direct stab to him.

Wen Bo wished he could flay Gu Yuan’s skin and drink her blood, gritting his teeth in hatred.

But regardless of his hatred, there’s nothing he could do against Gu Yuan at the moment.

As proud as he was then, he was now as humble. He was forced by Gu Yuan into bending, and if this project couldn’t be restarted, he would lose everything.

"Gu Yuan, it’s important to be reasonable. If Weilan’s project truly stops, Weilan is finished, and so am I. How can you bear to let your uncle be driven into a corner?" Wen Bo spoke with genuine emotion.

He knew he was here to swallow his pride, no matter how difficult Gu Yuan made it for him, he had to endure.

Seeing his pitiful state, Gu Yuan found it amusing, "A few days ago, I sincerely wanted to meet you, uncle. But how did you avoid me?"

Wen Bo: "..."

Hindsight is always 20/20!!

With his neck being grabbed, he had no choice but to bow his head.

"I was unwise, I beg for your mercy," Wen Bo lowered his stance.

Gu Yuan found this attitude satisfying and directly said, "The project can resume, with your sincerity here, how could I bear to ruin your hard work?!"

Wen Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

He knew Gu Yuan had a reputation for keeping her word.

"Since I’m doing you this favor, uncle, shouldn’t you also do me a favor? About Chi Yu..." Gu Yuan gazed at Wen Bo, waiting for him to take the hint.

Wen Bo indeed understood.

For the Weilan project, he promised, "I won’t bother Chi Yu anymore. If you’re still worried, you can record this. It’s a common tactic of yours."

"You really know me well, uncle," Gu Yuan propped her chin on her hand, smiling with satisfaction.

She explained, "The Chi Yu matter was a surprise. Consider it my instigation, vent your anger at me, it has nothing to do with him."

"Let’s just leave it at that, don’t mention it again, I assure you my words count," Wen Bo promised.

Gu Yuan nodded, "That’s good, thanks for your cooperation, uncle."

Wen Bo: "..." Is this cooperation? This is clearly a threat!!

Gu Yuan’s arrogance this time wasn’t because she wanted it. The Weilan project’s halt was a major loss for Wen Bo, and since Gu Group is linked with Weilan’s development, it would also suffer significant losses.

But Gu Yuan didn’t care.

Once the Chi Yu issue was resolved, the burden in Gu Yuan’s heart was eased.

And after finishing business in Hong Kong, Lu Tinglou arrived in Sui City.

Since the day it was confirmed that Gu Yuan and Chi Yu had broken up, Lu Tinglou gained confidence, believing he should take initiative instead of waiting passively.

So, he took a few days off.

Trying various ways to have meals with Gu Yuan, cooking for her himself, or inviting her to watch movies, fortunately Gu Yuan didn’t refuse.

The meals went smoothly.

But they stumbled at watching a movie in the end.

Initially, Lu Tinglou chose a youth movie with the highest box office recently, depicting the youth and decade-long journey of a group from campus to adulthood.

The box office was good, and it had a decent reputation recently.

But once everyone was seated, due to a glitch, it was changed to one of Chi Yu’s movies. Although it had aired before, people accepted it, showing Chi Yu’s immense influence.

Lu Tinglou, however: "..."

Gu Yuan stood up, "Let’s go."

"We can just tolerate it and watch," Lu Tinglou conceded.

"I’ve seen it, don’t want to watch it again," Gu Yuan had already walked out.

Lu Tinglou immediately caught up, "I think you have a very valid point."

...

Chi Yu hadn’t left the house for five days.

He hadn’t joined a new set, hadn’t returned to the company, or logged into social media, barely engaging on any platform. At home, he either lay down to sleep or got up to water the plants, then sat on the balcony watching the sunset.

A seemingly leisurely life, yet without any hope.

Yi Shu tried a few times to no avail, and finally lost his temper in front of Chi Yu, "Chi Yu, you’re an actor, you’re a public figure. Although your work intensity is high, what does it mean for you to hide at home and ignore everything?"

Chi Yu: "It means nothing."

Yi Shu was so furious his hair almost stood up, "You’re neglecting your fans? Your reputation, your popularity, are you done with these? No more TV drama? Is it your intention to quit the circle?"

"No need to quit."

Chi Yu put down the watering can, picked up scissors to trim the branches, nonchalantly saying, "Eventually, everything related to Chi Yu in the entertainment world will disappear."

"Disappear? You have such a strong fan base, how could it completely disappear in less than ten years?" Yi Shu was exasperated, grabbing the scissors from Chi Yu’s hand, "I thought you’d come back and get back to work properly. Even if you’re tired and want to rest, at least deal with the current issues first!"

"What issues?" Chi Yu seemed ignorant.

Yi Shu’s temples pulsed, "The film you’re currently shooting, the variety show negotiation and signing, and a few endorsements, you must handle these!"

"No need to handle."

A voice came from another direction.

Yi Shu turned to see Chi Yu’s doctor friend.

Tu Kuan walked over, his expression serious and solemn. He glanced at Chi Yu, then said to Yi Shu, "Chi Yu won’t leave you any trouble."

Yi Shu was puzzled, "What does that mean?"

Tu Kuan only gave a four-word answer, the truth he had just learned, which shocked him deeply, he said—

"No such person."
