The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 287: Appetite and Lust, Human Nature

Chi Yu couldn’t get in, so he sent a message to Gu Yuan saying he had arrived. Within five minutes, a car came out to pick him up.

"Are you Mr. Chi?"

"Yes, I am."

"Miss Gu sent me to pick you up, please get in the car."

Chi Yu got in the car and was driven smoothly into Gu Mansion.

All of this, to Chi Yu, was his first encounter with the world Gu Yuan lived in. The immense wealth that she possessed, rivaling nations; she was a formidable businesswoman, a well-known female mogul in Sui City. The Gu Group she ran was among the Fortune 500, and she was so exceptional that countless men were intimidated by her.

As the scenery outside the window blurred and retreated, it also blurred Chi Yu’s vision. When she was earnestly trying to win his favor back then, he never thought she was scheming against him.

From the time she sought his help in the rain.

From the time she held his hand in front of everyone.

From the time she sought refuge in his embrace...

She portrayed innocence to perfection and used him to perfection.

Later, he was completely used by her, deceived into a haze, and when he was coldly abandoned, others said he had fallen from grace. He alone knew that it was nothing to fall from grace; he was willing to go to hell for her.

Because he knew from the moment he tilted the umbrella towards her, he was destined to fall for her, never to recover.

During Chi Yu’s brief trance, the car had steadily stopped outside the entrance of Gu Mansion.

"Mr. Chi, we have arrived. Miss Gu is waiting inside for you."

The driver’s voice pulled Chi Yu’s scattered thoughts back, and he pushed the door open, walking briskly inside.

This was Chi Yu’s first time seeing the true appearance of Gu Mansion. The large mansion was situated in the most bustling district of Sui City, making it a tranquil haven amidst the chaos.

Servants could be seen everywhere. Entering the front door, a high-ceilinged hall, with arched windows adorned with golden edges, exuded luxury and grandeur.

He thought of the Quan Family; their old house wasn’t as lavish as Gu Mansion, but it also showcased an imposing presence.

"Mr. Chi, please have a seat for a while. Miss Gu is having a meeting in the study." Uncle Xiang brought a glass of water, placing it on the coffee table.

Chi Yu sat down casually, beginning to wait patiently.

He still needed to refine his plan further; being too impatient could spoil things and provoke her displeasure. He never intended to have any dignity from the start. His goal now was to push that other man out and replace him!

He was her first love.

Now, he was forced to become her second love.

While also taking on the duty of a stepfather.

Time passed by the minute.

Another half hour, an hour went by.

The glass of water had long been emptied.

Chi Yu arrived at five, and after sitting for an hour still saw no sign of Gu Yuan. He began to get restless. There was no one around, not even a servant in sight, and the old butler who had served him water earlier was nowhere to be seen either.

Chi Yu stood up, wandered around, finding that there was not a single person in the hall.

He walked out, stood under the porch, and looked around; still, not a soul in sight.

What was going on?

Where were the people?

Chi Yu didn’t know what was happening. He called Gu Yuan, fortunately able to connect, and when the call was answered, Chi Yu asked, "I’ve been waiting for an hour, where is Miss Gu?"

Gu Yuan’s voice came through the phone, "I’m in the study upstairs. You may come to find me now."

Chi Yu’s heart sank, a sense of unease lingered.

Was this a trap set by Yuanyuan and that other man to snare him?

Trap?

Damn it!

Why did he feel like he was the dog?

If anyone was the dog, it was that other man.

Chi Yu had no hesitation about whether to leave or not. He wouldn’t leave without seeing Gu Yuan. Now, he directly headed upstairs to find the study.

Going up the spiral staircase, the embossed murals on the walls came into view. The long corridor connected many rooms, and every place he passed felt familiar to Chi Yu, as if he had been there before. He didn’t find the study on his own; instead, it was as though driven by a memory that didn’t exist, instinctively finding it.

He pushed the door open.

The study was large, the light dim, with velvet curtains sealed tightly, exuding a faint scent. Chi Yu paused at the doorway for three seconds, then stepped inside.

The completely dark study felt oppressive and suffocating. Was this the kind of environment she usually worked in?

Chi Yu searched for the light switch. Upon finding it, he pressed it, flooding the study with daylight-like brightness, revealing the entirety of the room.
