"What do you an by that? What do you an there’s no such person?"
Tu Kuan said, "It’s exactly what you heard."
Yi Shu was very displeased with Tu Kuan’s words: "Do you know what ’no such person’ ans in the entertainnt industry? Either they have retired completely! Or they are... are..."
Yi Shu couldn’t bring himself to say the rest.
The other possibility is... they’ve passed away.
The latter is impossible.
The forr is the most likely.
But Yi Shu couldn’t understand. Chi Yu had co this far, and his relationship with President Gu seed to be less tense than before. Just one more step and it would be clear skies ahead. Why suddenly retire from the industry?!
"If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it. I was just like you before," Tu Kuan comforted Yi Shu.
Yi Shu felt this comfort was worse than none at all: "Forget it, you help communicate more with Chi Yu. I can’t communicate with him anyway."
If he could communicate, he wouldn’t be here frowning and angry for him to see.
Chi Yu’s indifferent attitude, he simply ignored him.
After Yi Shu left, Chi Yu sat in the chair basking in the sunlight, seemingly ready to take a nap. Tu Kuan walked over, sowhat reluctant to disturb him.
"If you have sothing to say, say it quickly, or I might never open my eyes again once they’re closed." Chi Yu didn’t even glance, sensing Tu Kuan’s presence and his hesitance.
"Miss Gu has been very close to Mr. Lu recently, did you know?" Since no topic could stir Chi Yu’s emotions, Tu Kuan had to sprinkle salt on his wound.
At least this way, Chi Yu would react like a normal person.
Sure enough, Chi Yu opened his eyes: "Since when did you beco a detective."
"Haven’t you read the recent newspapers? It’s so easy, no need to bother being a detective." Tu Kuan stood, feeling tired, and sat down beside him.
Chi Yu has been quite neglectful lately.
Not caring about any work matters, nor asking about Gu Yuan’s activities.
Seeing Chi Yu’s reaction was just opening his eyes without asking, Tu Kuan deliberately brought up: "From the newspaper reports, Miss Gu might get engaged to Lu Tinglou. Lu Tinglou is a rising star in Hong Kong’s business world, with countless people optimistic about him. If he and Miss Gu form a union of a hundred years..."
Chi Yu’s breathing beca irregular.
He shot an extrely resentful glance at Tu Kuan: "You just can’t feel comfortable if you don’t annoy for a day, can you?"
"You’re right!" Tu Kuan chuckled.
Chi Yu got up and went back inside.
He searched the downstairs living room for a long ti without finding a single newspaper, making him almost furious, with very poor emotions.
Until Tu Kuan handed a newspaper to Chi Yu: "You’re critically ill, didn’t expect your mory to get worse. Who was it that said newspapers weren’t allowed at ho these days?"
"..."
Chi Yu ignored Tu Kuan’s sarcasm.
Took the newspaper and opened it to read.
[According to reliable sources, the president of Central Court Real Estate and the chairman of Gu Group were photographed holding hands while shopping, looking very sweet. Others had a chance encounter with them at a cinema, fingers interlocked, snuggling while watching a movie, suggesting imminent good news.]
[If Gu Group and Central Court Real Estate unite, it would not just be a union of two companies, but the establishnt of a vast business empire. Note that Central Court has Hengyuan behind it, making it not just a strong alliance, but a three-way alliance.]
The newspaper reports were still re speculation.
Whether the parties involved were really together, no one outside knew. If they were indeed together, such reports could be seen as a preview.
Moreover, such reports wouldn’t affect the two involved. It might even increase attention, causing both companies’ stocks to rise.
Overall, it’s a good thing.
After reading the newspaper, Chi Yu casually tossed it aside, as if he didn’t care at all.
Tu Kuan picked up the discarded newspaper: "I thought you really wouldn’t react at all. At least you tossed this newspaper away."
"Boring newspaper, what am I supposed to do with it, cook dinner at night?!" Chi Yu went to the bar to pour himself a drink.
Tu Kuan wanted to persuade him not to drink, but before he could speak, Chi Yu had already downed half a glass of wine.
Tu Kuan: "..."
He stepped forward, placing the newspaper on the bar, pointing it out for Chi Yu: "Do you think Miss Gu and Mr. Lu are a good match?"
Chi Yu glared at the newspaper, a fierce look growing in his eyes, almost shouting: "What do you think?"
Tu Kuan wasn’t afraid of Chi Yu’s anger, calmly saying, "I just hope, even in this last period, you live with so dignity."
Chi Yu was stunned for a mont.
He poured another half glass of red wine, Tu Kuan covered the wine glass with his hand: "Stop drinking, if you want to et Miss Gu, go see her. Ti won’t wait for regrets."
"I’m not going. Whoever she marries has nothing to do with ."
Chi Yu turned and went upstairs.
"Stubborn as a mule." Tu Kuan sighed.
...
Recently, the news about Gu Group and Central Court Real Estate forming a union of a hundred years has been rampant in the business world.
With neither party denying it, everyone beca more convinced of the truth.
Sheng Yi also heard about it, her first reaction was to call Gu Yuan: "Yuanyuan, are you getting engaged to Lu Tinglou?"
"Where did you hear that?"
Sheng Yi imdiately breathed a sigh of relief: "...Good, it’s fake news, I thought..."
"We’re going to Uncle Lu’s for dinner soon to discuss the date."
"..."
???
Date?
Discuss what date???
Sheng Yi admitted she was confused, not knowing what date. She quickly asked: "Yuanyuan, are you saying you’re going to Lu Tinglou’s house for dinner, not just you two alone, right?"
Gu Yuan agreed with a lazy voice, tinged with laughter: "Yes, you’ve been busy filming lately, I haven’t had a chance to tell you."
"Ah no no no... wait, I... still don’t get it, are you really going to be with Lu Tinglou?" Sheng Yi felt like she’d been living in the mountains for decades, shocked at everything she heard.
And then Gu Yuan’s response was: "Yes, we are together now."
Sheng Yi: "..."
!!!
Gu Yuan being with Lu Tinglou was too sudden for Sheng Yi, though she had t Lu Tinglou before, and knew how exceptional he was.
But honestly, Sheng Yi was still very shocked.
That afternoon, Sheng Yi’s acting was off.
She left the set early in the afternoon and headed straight for Gu Mansion.
After her call with Sheng Yi ended, Gu Yuan turned around and saw Lu Tinglou standing not far behind her, hands in pockets, looking at her with a gentle smile.
Gu Yuan put away her phone: "You heard it all."
It wasn’t a question, it was a statent.
Lu Tinglou did not deny it: "If it’s true, that would be even better."
