Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Wishing You to Find Love Soon
Lu Yiyun stared at his face, and continued, "Also, you’re the President of Tang Group now, the youngest CEO in the business world. A man’s career is equally important!
"Looking at it this way, Brother Tang, you certainly have an advantage. If I were Gu Yan, I would definitely lean towards you. Just be a little more gentle and considerate, and your charm would be off the charts! Gu Yan wouldn’t be able to help but excitedly pounce on you!"
Young Master Tang’s gloomy face gradually softened a bit, and Lu Yiyun secretly raised an eyebrow, it was indeed effective.
Alas... He probably doesn’t even realize now that Gu Yan can easily influence all his emotions.
His heart has moved, all his joys and sorrows are for one person.
"Brother Tang, don’t lose heart, think of your strengths and the more favorable conditions over that man, like how Gu Yan lives with you. You could just bed her one day, and make it a done deal. Why would you worry she wouldn’t stay with you then?"
The few present were silent. For a girl, what kind of advice is this. The rare thing is, Young Master Tang actually seriously considered the feasibility of Lu Yiyun’s words!
More silence ensued.
Young Master Tang, have you drunk too much and muddled your brain? To take Lu Yiyun’s words seriously and even consider them, you might be digging your own grave without realizing it.
Second Young Master Tang silently held his forehead; he couldn’t believe his brother was this foolish.
After a while, Young Master Tang, filled with a slight sadness, said, "Your method won’t work."
Even if it comes to that, it would have to be with Gu Yan’s willingness; otherwise, forcing her would only make things worse.
The aftermath of previous attempts has persisted to this day, leaving him feeling very stifled inside.
Moreover, her deeply ingrained mindset now is that she’s his mistress, and he foolishly keeps reminding her of this fact in front of her, which can’t be resolved quickly.
Upon hearing this, the few people subtly raised their eyebrows. It seemed Young Master Tang was considering the girl’s feelings.
That’s indeed rare.
Does Gu Yan really have such great charm that even someone like Young Master Tang breaks all sorts of rules and behaves differently than usual?
"If it doesn’t work, think of another method, Brother Tang. With your talent, you surely wouldn’t have trouble winning a woman’s heart."
"Tch, there’s nothing I can’t handle!" Young Master Tang said without thinking, a deeply ingrained confidence.
"That’s the spirit, Brother Tang. Don’t let that seemingly gentle man outshine you. Actually, when you say ’gentle man’, it sounds nice as gentlemanly demeanor, but not so nice as a wimpy pretty boy. Your chances are very, very high."
Lu Yiyun reached out a hand, wanting to pat his shoulder for comfort, but Tang Yuxiu’s cold glare forced him to retract it.
Lu Yiyun chuckled innocently, retracting his hand with ease, "Brother Tang, don’t lose heart. Finding a woman you’re interested in is so rare, don’t let us down."
"Exactly, I wish you get out of bachelorhood soon," Xue Jiarui added.
Young Master Tang gave the three of them a disdainful look, "You should worry about yourselves first."
Three single guys, how could they have the nerve to wish for his relationship success.
Second Young Master Tang remained unmoved, "As the eldest brother, you should be the first to settle down."
"Hmph, go away if you have nothing to do." Young Master Tang gulped down a drink, his expression sour, chasing them away once more.
Lu Yiyun thought it was about time to leave, so he nodded along, "Brother Tang, take your time drinking, we won’t keep you company, off to find a place to eat."
Young Master Tang wished they would vanish now. Hearing this was like music to his ears, "Hurry up, go, go, go!"
Lu Yiyun stood up, "Then we’ll really leave. Brother Tang, don’t miss us, and don’t feel lonely."
So much nonsense!
"Just get out." He definitely wouldn’t miss them, nor feel lonely, being alone was quite good.
Before Gu Yan entered his life, he was always alone, never feeling anything.
The four of Lu Yiyun waved to him and left together.
Nie Rong, who was interacting with people at the banquet, had been paying attention to the situation there. When she saw Lu Yiyun, a woman, approaching Tang Yuxiu, she couldn’t help but frown and instinctively wanted to go over.
But upon seeing the three men behind Lu Yiyun, she held back.
She knew the three of them—one was the Second Young Master of the Tang Family, another was a young master from the Xue Family, and the third was a renowned medical expert, all with good relations with Tang Yuxiu.
Even though she didn’t know Lu Yiyun, being able to associate with them meant she wasn’t simple. She had already lost favor with Tang Yuxiu and couldn’t rashly do anything damaging, especially offending his friends.
So she continued to watch the situation from a distance.
Although she couldn’t hear their conversation, she could see that woman teasing Tang Yuxiu with a playful grin, and though Tang Yuxiu’s expression wasn’t good, he wasn’t genuinely angry, indulgently allowing her.
Nie Rong unconsciously clenched her hands at her sides. Who exactly is she? What’s her relationship with Tang Yuxiu?
Why can she interact with Tang Yuxiu so freely and without restraint?
Is Gu Yan not important at all, is this woman the one who really matters?
Nie Rong’s eyes darkened; no matter who it is, anyone who blocks her from getting Tang Yuxiu, marrying Tang Yuxiu, is an enemy, and she won’t spare a single one!
On this path, she doesn’t allow any obstacles!
Watching Lu Yiyun’s departing back, a trace of vicious murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
The Nie Family was involved in the underworld early on, even if they’ve cleaned up, the innate cruelty and murderous nature of the underworld remains hard to change.
No matter how dignified and gentle Nie Rong appears in public, it’s just a facade. The Nie Family’s upbringing isn’t as refined as that of a noble family.
Lu Yiyun walked to the door, sharply feeling the malevolent gaze from behind, and casually turned back, immediately spotting the vicious eyes staring at her from the crowd.
Nie Rong didn’t expect Lu Yiyun to suddenly turn around, was startled, and immediately withdrew her gaze, suppressing her inner panic.
Lu Yiyun raised her eyebrows slightly; indeed not a good character.
"What’s the stare for?"
Lu Yiyun turned back, shrugged, "Nothing much, just thinking some things can’t be changed. A duckling hidden from daylight will always be a duckling, even if dressed as a swan, it can’t change its nature."
Xue Jiarui looked puzzled, "What are you talking about?"
Xiang Linghao and Tang Mubei exchanged glances, "What have you noticed?"
Lu Yiyun said, "It’s best not to let Brother Tang get engaged to that one from the Nie Family. No matter how noble they act on the surface, the dark nature can’t be washed away."
"Are you talking about Nie Rong?" Xue Jiarui suddenly realized, "She looks alright."
"That’s why you’re still young, don’t be deceived by appearances." Lu Yiyun chuckled jokingly.
Xue Jiarui looked annoyed, "Enough, stop using my age as an argument."
"Hmph, what can you do?" Lu Yiyun raised her eyebrows.
Xue Jiarui glared at her angrily, what could he do, he’s not older or as skilled as her, always been the one oppressed since childhood.
"Wonder who will marry you in the future, truly eight lifetimes of bad luck."
"And wonder who dares to marry you, flirting around all day without seriousness. I bet you’re the longest bachelor."
"Nonsense, just wait, I’ll find a girlfriend someday."
Lu Yiyun gave him a quick up-and-down glance, not taking his words seriously at all.
At this moment, Gu Qin walked over, "Young Master Xue, are you leaving?"
She had seen Xue Jiarui and these three heading toward the door from afar and linger here. Although she didn’t want to leave and wanted more interactions or a chance to be alone with Tang Yuxiu, she was brought by Xue Jiarui, she couldn’t offend him, otherwise such a good opportunity won’t come again.
Xue Jiarui, seeing Gu Qin, didn’t hide the disgust on his face, frowned, "I’m leaving with my friends, suit yourself."
Gu Qin didn’t quite understand why Xue Jiarui suddenly had this attitude towards her but pretended not to notice and said softly, "I’ll leave with Young Master Xue, anyway I don’t want to stay."
Saying so was only to make Xue Jiarui think she wasn’t after wealth or status, hoping to gain some good impression.
However, Xue Jiarui and the other three had already seen through her, Lu Yiyun crossed her arms with a playful smile on the side.
Xue Jiarui was impatient; since knowing this woman used and deceived him, he hadn’t wanted to see her at all.
"If you don’t want to stay, just leave on your own, don’t follow me. Don’t come looking for me again, you ruin my mood."
Though Xue Jiarui often dallied with women, he was never gentle with women he wasn’t interested in, especially ones like Gu Qin who used him.
Gu Qin’s face darkened, not knowing why Xue Jiarui suddenly became so rude to her.
"Young Master Xue, what’s wrong?"
"Aren’t you a woman who understands human words? I’ve gotten tired of you; bringing you to this banquet is your breakup fee. Don’t tell others we have any relation; whether you stay or leave doesn’t concern me."
After speaking, Xue Jiarui gestured to the others, indicating they could leave.
Gu Qin was still bewildered, but she really didn’t want to give up on Xue Jiarui, who was a great stepping stone. He was close to Tang Yuxiu, a big chance to get near Tang Yuxiu!
So she reached out to grab Xue Jiarui’s sleeve, looking pitiful, "Young Master Xue, what’s wrong with you, why this sudden change?"
Xue Jiarui only felt repulsed by this woman, rudely shook her off, "Let go!"
"Young Master Xue!"
She wanted to reach out again but was stopped by Lu Yiyun, "Miss, it’s inappropriate to pull and tug in public. Although you’re disregarding your image, we’re afraid of embarrassment. Xue Jiarui was clear not to bother him again. Please be sensible and leave; ugly will surely be you."
