Lin Yu stopped in his tracks and nodded at Feng Jia as a greeting.

Feng Pei said, “He’s Lin Yu, right?”

Feng Jia walked to his car. “Yes.”

“They’re really close. With that glance just now, those who don’t know would think that Lin Yu is Gu Chu’s fiancé.” Feng Pei curled her lips in disdain and continued to babble non-stop.

“They are childhood sweethearts. They are close to begin with, but since they are so close, why doesn’t Gu Chu marry him?”

Feng Jia heard this and looked at her expressionlessly.

Only then did Feng Pei shut her mouth.

Lin Yu had come to pick up Gu Chu on his way to the airport to do some business. As she scrolled through Weibo, she said, “Lin Yu, I haven’t thanked you for helping me find a lawyer.”

Lin Yu laughed. “It’s a small matter. However, he said that there was already someone who requested him to deal with the same matter.”

Gu Chuyi’s expression froze.

She had not even told her secretary about what had happened to her, so there was only one person who did this.

Lin Yu saw her expression and guessed. “Feng Jia?”

Gu Chu nodded. “Yes.”

If it was really him, he probably cared about her, right?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she laughed to herself. She still couldn’t change her self-indulgent behavior.

If he really cared about her, he wouldn’t be so confused about Gu Wan, because he also knew that she would be angry if she saw them together.

Lin Yu sent her all the way to her apartment. As soon as Gu Chu got out of the car, she said to him, “I’ll transfer the lawyer fees to you.”

She had to give it to him even though he didn’t need the money.

She added, “I still have to unpack so I won’t invite you in. I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”

Lin Yu nodded and took out a document and handed it to her. “Here.”

Gu Huan took it in surprise. When she saw the words, her eyes widened. “This is?”

Lin Yu smiled. “Didn’t you lose a business? I gave you another one.”

Gu Chu was touched when she heard that. She said tearfully, “Oh my God, you’re my brother!”

Lin Yu waved his hand. “That’s enough. Go back and rest.”

“Be careful on the road then.”

Gu Chu happily closed the car door, dragged her suitcase, and returned to the apartment.

Lin Yu didn’t start the car until the lights were on at her house.

The apartment she lived in was given to her by her parents on her 18th birthday. Although it wasn’t as expensive as the one Feng Jia lived in Jinyuan, it was still one of the most upscale residential areas in Haicheng City.

Gu Chu was really tired. When she got home, she didn’t even pack her suitcase and lay on the sofa.

She ordered a takeout. She fell asleep but was woken up by a call from the receptionist of the building.

She hummed twice. “I ordered takeout. Tell him to come over.”

“Okay, Miss Gu.” The receptionist hung up and told the takeout guy to go upstairs.

She didn’t know why, but she wanted to eat something sour, so she ordered a serving of hot and sour noodles.

However, she didn’t even take two bites before she started to feel nauseous.

She immediately stopped eating and took out her phone to set an appointment. She planned to go to the hospital to see the gastroenterologist the next afternoon.

Right after the appointment was made, Lin Yin video-called her. As soon as she picked up, she saw her naked body.

She immediately took a screenshot and threatened in a sinister manner, “I took a screenshot. If I don’t have money in the future, I’ll use this to threaten you. If you don’t send money, I’ll send this photo to your family and friends!”

“Aiya, you’re so annoying!” Lin Yin quickly put on a t-shirt and said shyly, “You usually don’t pick up so quickly.”

Gu Chu snorted.

Lin Yin asked her while applying body lotion on her body, “By the way, I heard from my brother that you just came back from Yangcheng City, and you came back with Feng Jia. How is it? Have the two of you improved your relationship in the past few days?”

Gu Chu shook her head. “No.”

They hadn’t even slept together. How could they get closer?

“Then you’d better hurry up!” Lin Yin said anxiously. “I’ve been thinking about Gu Wan these past few days. I suddenly feel that she’s such a scary woman. I’m afraid that you’ll be at a disadvantage.”

She added, “Think about it. If you break off the engagement with Feng Jia, what will happen to you?”

“I will become the laughingstock of Yangcheng City,” Gu Chu replied.
