The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 230: The Truth Behind the Concert Proposal_3

Just one sentence was said: "Did Chi Yu go to Miss Gu’s place?"

"I don’t know." Tu Kuan avoided the topic.

"Even if you don’t tell me, I can guess. But I can’t get into the Gu Mansion. If Chi Yu and Miss Gu reconciled, that would be great. It’s not easy for them. They were almost together, but then something happened. It’s like the heavens are testing them both."

Yi Shu spoke with a tired heart and was in no hurry to leave, so he sat down.

He continued to ramble to Tu Kuan: "You don’t know this, but when I signed Chi Yu, it was actually President Gu who recommended him. He pushed Chi Yu to me, asking me to manage him. At that time, I already had a top-tier celebrity under my wing, so taking on a complete newcomer meant starting from scratch again. But since it was President Gu who pushed him to me, I had to take on Chi Yu with gritted teeth."

"In the entertainment industry, there aren’t many whose appearances are poor, and Chi Yu’s looks are rare. But to become popular, besides packaging and promotion, it all depends on fate. I thought managing Chi Yu would take several years, but I never expected that in just two years, Chi Yu became the top star in the entertainment industry."

"Chi Yu and President Gu have always had a good relationship. He’s also the most successful ’toad who wants to eat a swan’s flesh’ I’ve ever seen. Do you know how successful he’s become? He jumped from being just a pretty face to becoming President Gu’s boyfriend, officially recognized, something that many people wouldn’t achieve even with luck from eight lifetimes."

"I’ve witnessed Chi Yu and President Gu’s journey together. Just a few months ago, on the night of Chi Yu’s second concert, he was planning to propose to President Gu. You know? An A-list star proposing at his concert would cause such a sensation! But I don’t know what went wrong afterward. He suddenly gave up on the proposal."

"I saw that ring. It’s really beautiful, and I’m sure President Gu would have loved it."

"But unfortunately..." Yi Shu sighed.

Tu Kuan wasn’t aware of these things. Listening to Yi Shu speak, he was quite touched and asked, "Miss Gu surely doesn’t know about this, right?"

"How could she possibly know?" Yi Shu wiped his face. "Damn it, that was the first time Chi Yu threatened me. He absolutely didn’t want President Gu to know about his proposal plan at the concert. I’ve kept it to myself all this while, not daring to mention it in front of President Gu. I’m thinking, eventually, they’ll reconcile, and Chi Yu will definitely propose again."

"I guess that day won’t come again." Tu Kuan sighed as he spoke.

Chi Yu no longer has the time, and it’s impossible for him to be with Miss Gu again. How could there be another proposal?!

Yi Shu continued, "On the night President Gu left, it was pouring rain. Chi Yu cried miserably outside the Gu Mansion. You should’ve seen the scene; it’s something I’ll never forget in my life. He was kneeling on the ground, crying with his knees on the ground. That was the first time I saw Chi Yu cry like that, and it remains unforgettable to this day."

"He’s not just a successful toad but also quite affectionate. That time he got into a fight and went into the police station, you probably didn’t know about it. I helped him out then, so he got into the station. I watched the video from the police station. I couldn’t imagine how crazy Chi Yu was then, beating the person like that and saying those words. At that moment, my eyes turned red..."

Tu Kuan listened, feeling uneasy: "Chi Yu is so affectionate, so in love with Miss Gu, yet he never admits the things he did secretly. It’s understandable why Miss Gu seems cold. She never knew, so how could she feel warmth?"

Yi Shu felt Tu Kuan was a good person to vent to. He patted Tu Kuan on the shoulder: "Buddy, thank you for letting me get these things off my chest. I need to leave. If Chi Yu comes back, tell him he has to have a farewell meal even if he’s quitting the industry since we’ve been together for two years."

Tu Kuan replied, "Alright, I’ll let him know when he comes back."

Yi Shu left the room and was about to return.

But as he stepped out, he was dumbfounded to see the person standing outside, as if struck by a bolt from the blue. All his sorrow and emotions vanished...

"Gu, President Gu, when did you get here?"

Gu Yuan glanced at Yi Shu, then said in a calm voice, "I heard everything."

As the words fell,

Yi Shu felt as if thunder struck him—

He shouted, "President Gu, just pretend you didn’t hear. I said nothing. I truly said nothing..."

Gu Yuan turned away and left, ignoring Yi Shu’s words.

Tu Kuan came out and saw Gu Yuan’s departing figure. He asked Yi Shu, "Did Miss Gu hear everything?"

"She heard..." Yi Shu looked desperate. "I couldn’t keep Chi Yu’s secrets for him."

"It’s okay, Miss Gu knows now. I think she would’ve found out eventually." Tu Kuan saw things a bit clearer.

After all, once Chi Yu leaves, Gu Yuan would find out about these things.

It’s just a matter of time.

Gu Yuan walked out of the gate, her entire demeanor scarily calm. Her mind echoed with every word she’d heard outside the room:

—Chi Yu was planning to propose to her at the concert.

—Chi Yu kneeling in the rain outside Gu Mansion, crying.

—The video of Chi Yu in the detention center.

"Heh..."

Gu Yuan let out a light, mocking laugh.

She questioned herself internally:

Why did I come to Chi Yu’s house tonight?!

Why did I have to hear what Yi Shu said?

I shouldn’t have come!

Tears uncontrollably burst forth, like pearls with a broken thread. Gu Yuan suddenly stopped, slowly raising her hand, her fingertips touching her cheeks.

The touch of her fingertips was met with warm tears.
