The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 206: He Told Gu Yuan Everything

Gu Yuan’s expression was indifferent; she already knew Lu Tinglou’s intentions. Regarding the media reports this time, she initially planned to handle public relations, but Lu Tinglou persuaded her otherwise.

She had just acquired the land in Nansha, and her financial chain was unstable. Whether the development could proceed smoothly was being watched by many.

Lu Tinglou persuaded her that if they pretended to have a good relationship, with the two families aiming for a long-lasting union, it would undoubtedly be beneficial for the Gu Group.

"You know, I don’t have the energy to manage a new relationship." Gu Yuan candidly told Lu Tinglou her stance.

"Hmm." Lu Tinglou nodded, understanding completely.

It’s in a man’s nature to have flaws, and Lu Tinglou was no exception.

He deliberately mentioned in front of Gu Yuan, "That day in Hong Kong, after you left, I talked with Chi Yu alone."

Gu Yuan didn’t ask what they talked about; her indifferent reaction made Lu Tinglou eager to tell her, "Chi Yu surprisingly gave me advice on how to pursue you."

Gu Yuan: "..."

Seeing Gu Yuan’s expression, Lu Tinglou felt guilty.

Though malicious, everything he said was the truth, not something he made up.

"That night Chi Yu said if I wanted to pursue you, he could help me. I was quite surprised at the time, thinking he would assert his claim over you, but clearly, that wasn’t his intention."

"Enough." Gu Yuan didn’t want to hear anymore.

Even though Lu Tinglou knew this would annoy Gu Yuan, he still wanted to say, "Chi Yu isn’t a good guy, and I believe you realized this and that’s why you broke up with him. Gu Yuan, he doesn’t care about you as a person; he’s after your wealth and the enormous benefits that come with your position as the chairman of the Gu Group."

Gu Yuan coldly glanced at Lu Tinglou.

Lu Tinglou hadn’t finished speaking; he continued, "Chi Yu used the advice he gave me to pursue you to gain benefits from me and expand his resources. He’s such a selfish person, Gu Yuan, you shouldn’t still have lingering feelings for him."

Gu Yuan took a deep breath, "Do I have the words ’lingering feelings’ written on my face?"

Lu Tinglou raised an eyebrow, "Not really."

Gu Yuan wouldn’t lose her temper in front of Lu Tinglou; her temper only surfaced towards those who were useless or made mistakes. And she rarely lost her temper; she wouldn’t get angry just because Lu Tinglou mentioned Chi Yu in front of her.

"Gu Yuan, I may be despicable, but my intention is simply to tell you that Chi Yu isn’t worth your lingering feelings. Also..." Lu Tinglou looked directly at Gu Yuan, frankly told her, "That night on the rooftop, I heard everything Chi Yu said to you."

Gu Yuan’s gaze dimmed, her eyes downcast, her delicate eyelashes trembling lightly.

But no emotion could be discerned on her face.

"He knew those were your taboos, yet he kept bringing them up again and again in front of you. What’s worth it?! He’s just a scumbag!" Lu Tinglou also felt it wasn’t worth it for Gu Yuan.

Seeing Chi Yu around Gu Yuan in the past, Lu Tinglou always wondered why the person beside Gu Yuan wasn’t him.

But soon he realized that he couldn’t match Chi Yu’s level.

Now he finally understood, not being able to do it was the normal thing.

Chi Yu was just pretending.

All to gain huge benefits.

"Lu Tinglou." Gu Yuan called him.

Lu Tinglou looked at Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan said, "In the future, don’t mention the name I don’t want to hear in front of me, and also, I hope you can be more mature. Your behavior of tattling just now is no different from a three-year-old child!"

Lu Tinglou: "..."

He thought it was enough as long as it worked.

Apparently, it had already taken effect.

...

When Sheng Yi arrived, she was carrying a bag of local specialties, which were flatbreads sent by the family of an actor from Xinjiang in the recent film crew.

Two big boxes, and Sheng Yi got two of them.

She originally planned to rush to the Gu Mansion to share them with Yuanyuan, and then find out what was going on between her and Lu Tinglou.

As a result, when she arrived, Lu Tinglou was also at the Gu Mansion!!!

And she ran into Lu Tinglou first.

"Long time no see, Miss Sheng Yi." Lu Tinglou also saw Sheng Yi and greeted her first.

"Uh... Lu Tinglou??!"

Sheng Yi felt constrained as soon as she saw Lu Tinglou.

Probably because Lu Tinglou had served in the military for three years before, and in the last year of his service, he was invited as an instructor on a variety show. Sheng Yi was a participant on that show.

That time, even though Lu Tinglou only stayed for a day during the recording, his impact as an instructor on the participants was considerable.

As a soldier who showed no mercy, he was frighteningly strict and rigid with rules. The female guests on that episode all felt Lu Tinglou was both manly and scary; he didn’t blink when punishing people, practically a living King of Hell.

"It’s me, Lu Tinglou." He introduced himself.

Sheng Yi felt especially uneasy, replying awkwardly, "... it’s been a long time indeed."

"Please have a seat." Lu Tinglou gestured.

"Ah... I know, I know, I’m more familiar with this place than you are." Sheng Yi felt that Lu Tinglou seemed to see himself as the man of the house here.

What to do, if Yuanyuan really got together with Lu Tinglou, she wouldn’t dare to visit the Gu Mansion anymore.

Uncle Xiang came over with a cheerful smile, "Miss Sheng Yi, I’ve just developed a new flavor of fruit tea. Do you want the new flavor or the usual one?"

Sheng Yi asked, "What’s the new flavor?"

Uncle Xiang said, "Kiwi fruit."

"Then I’ll have the new flavor." Sheng Yi smiled sweetly, "Thanks, Uncle Xiang."

"You’re welcome, you’re welcome." Uncle Xiang left with a beaming smile to prepare.

As soon as Uncle Xiang left, Sheng Yi was restless. She got up intending to go upstairs, but just as she took a step onto the staircase, Lu Tinglou’s voice came from behind, "Gu Yuan is in a meeting, don’t disturb her."

Sheng Yi gritted her teeth in frustration, then returned to her original seat.

As soon as she sat down, she immediately stood up again, "I’ll go check on Uncle Xiang’s new creation."

"Sheng Yi, are you very afraid of me?" Lu Tinglou’s puzzled voice came through.

The tone was a bit rigid, the kind that made people instinctively fearful. Sheng Yi didn’t think she was a coward, but towards certain people... she and Lu Tinglou didn’t quite get along.

Turning around, she grinned, "No way, how could I be afraid of you, haha."

"That smile is so fake."

"..."

Her pearly white teeth were too dazzling, so she simply closed her mouth, sat down, and while Gu Yuan wasn’t around, she bluntly asked, "Are you and Yuanyuan really together?"

Lu Tinglou picked up the coffee on the coffee table, ready to drink, but upon hearing Sheng Yi’s question, he frowned slightly and asked her back, "What do you think?"

"Do I know or should I be asking you?!" Sheng Yi replied irritably.

Lu Tinglou always felt Sheng Yi seemed afraid of him yet looked down on him at the same time.

Such a contradictory view.

Not hearing a reply from him, Sheng Yi continued on her own, "Honestly, I think Yuanyuan is probably just settling for you."

"What makes you think it’s settling?" Lu Tinglou responded with an unwilling-to-lose attitude.
