Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Men Are Also So Contradictory
Lu Yiyun unceremoniously slapped away Xiang Linghao’s hand and teased, "Doctor Xiang, do you still want your hand?"
Xiang Linghao was speechless, "Little brat."
Lu Yiyun smugly raised an eyebrow, "Who told you that you can’t beat me?"
That’s right, Xiang Linghao couldn’t beat Lu Yiyun.
The Lu Family is a military and political family. The children of the Lu Family have received special training from an early age, with good physiques and strong skills, especially the siblings Lu Fusheng and Lu Yiyun. They are geniuses rarely seen in the Lu Family for a hundred years. They challenged all the strong ones in the family at the age of fourteen and won ten battles in ten victories!
Since then, the two have become the most notable successors of the Lu Family.
Many people wanted to see the siblings Lu Fusheng and Lu Yiyun fight to death for the family’s highest position, but for ten years, the two got along well without any news of discord.
People thought they were pretending, but they indeed had a good relationship.
"Brother Tang, I’m very curious, how do you feel when you see your woman with another man? Can you tell me?"
Lu Yiyun tugged on Tang Yuxiu’s sleeve, knowing he had a cleanliness obsession, and immediately stepped back three steps, making it impossible for him to lose his temper.
The other three stood by watching the show with great interest. Only Lu Yiyun could speak so directly, fearlessly poking at Tang Yuxiu’s wound.
Because she was a woman, Tang Yuxiu wouldn’t do anything to her.
As expected, Tang Yuxiu just turned his head away, not looking at Lu Yiyun.
However, Lu Yiyun was not discouraged at all, persistently asking, "Brother Tang, why don’t you explain to satisfy my curiosity?"
Tang Yuxiu, unable to shake her off, could only coldly reply, "Go find a man yourself and watch him with another woman. You’ll understand better than hearing me talk."
Huh? Like this?
If Tang Yuxiu said this, does it count as indirectly admitting that his feelings for Gu Yan are the most straightforward feelings a man has for a woman?
Lu Yiyun, sitting on a high stool with a hand under her chin, said, "But I don’t even know where my man is right now. I really want to know. Why don’t you tell me in advance?"
This girl was really giving Tang Yuxiu a hard time.
Tang Yuxiu felt extremely vexed and said to the three onlookers, "You guys explain, stop bothering me."
The three of them raised their eyebrows, and Tang Mubei calmly said, "Big brother, Yiyun is asking you, not us, and besides, we don’t know either."
Tang Yuxiu snorted coldly, "Are you sure you don’t know? I saw the woman you were pursuing walking very close to the president of the Su Family a few days ago."
Tang Mubei thought of that scene, his face slightly darkened, and he immediately lost interest in watching Tang Yuxiu’s show.
Lu Yiyun blinked, "Second Brother Tang, you’ve just fallen so quickly."
She thought Tang Mubei would always be the most persistent one. Yet, with just one sentence from Tang Yuxiu, he was taken down in seconds.
And as for the other two, their fighting power compared to Tang Yuxiu is not enough to even warm up, so she can’t rely on them.
Lu Yiyun innocently looked at Tang Yuxiu, "Brother Tang, do you like her? If you didn’t like her, you wouldn’t be so angry and upset, right?"
"Who’s upset? Don’t talk nonsense!" Tang Yuxiu immediately retorted.
Lu Yiyun looked as if she saw through everything, "Oh, don’t deny it. With such a big reaction, no one will believe you."
Tang Yuxiu, "..." Is Lu Yiyun sent by heaven to checkmate him?
Lu Yiyun wanted to continue to bother him, so he simply walked a bit further away. However, she followed him all the way, nagging in his ear, while Xue Jiarui and the other two silently followed, ready to hear the gossip at any time.
Besides, Tang Yuxiu’s current appearance did indeed amuse them a lot.
On the other side.
As soon as Gu Yan and Qin Junnan entered the venue, many people came up to greet Qin Junnan.
Gu Yan stood to the side with a smile on her face. Whenever Qin Junnan introduced someone to her, she would greet them politely and behaved very appropriately.
Qin Junnan maintained a gentle smile throughout as he mingled with others.
Gu Yan always felt like someone was watching her. She glanced around, but it was all business celebrities coming and going, chatting in groups, and no one seemed to notice her.
Qin Junnan noticed her discomfort and dismissed someone trying to network with him, then softly asked, "What’s wrong?"
Gu Yan turned back to him, "Nothing. Senior, I’m a bit tired from standing. Can I rest for a bit off to the side?"
Hearing this, Qin Junnan showed a trace of apology on his gentle face, "Sorry, I was so busy greeting colleagues that I forgot you’re wearing high heels. Standing too long must be uncomfortable for you."
Gu Yan shook her head and smiled slightly, "It’s okay, just need to rest a bit."
"I’ll accompany you."
Gu Yan declined, "No need. You have to manage relationships with them and shouldn’t miss any opportunities because of me. I’ll just be over there. If you’re free later, come find me."
Hearing Gu Yan’s words full of consideration for him, a slight warmth rose in Qin Junnan’s heart, and he gazed at her with even more tenderness, "Alright, I won’t go far. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay." Gu Yan replied, then turned and walked towards the resting area.
Now, everyone in the venue was either busy with their affairs or networking. The resting area was empty, and Gu Yan also enjoyed the tranquility.
It provided food and drinks, and she found it quite pleasant.
Over there, Lu Yiyun looked at Gu Yan, "Hey, Brother Tang, your woman is alone now. It’s the best chance to go and reclaim her."
Tang Yuxiu glanced at Gu Yan, who was sitting alone on the sofa, and coldly huffed, "What does it have to do with me!"
Lu Yiyun shook her head with a fake sigh, "Ah, men are so good at saying one thing and meaning another, what are we to do."
"If it’s not your business, don’t concern yourself." Tang Yuxiu said.
Lu Yiyun opened her big eyes, "How is it not my business? Brother Tang finally has his eyes on a woman, I have to worry about it properly. Among so many of you, she’s my first sister-in-law."
Tang Yuxiu’s eyes darkened, "Who said I have my eyes on her? Stop talking nonsense."
"I told you, don’t say one thing and mean another. Admitting it won’t kill you, and the girl isn’t even here, nothing to be shy about."
No matter what he said, Lu Yiyun always had a comeback, and every word struck right at his heart. He didn’t want to say anything anymore!
"Think whatever you like, entertain yourself, I don’t want to deal with you anymore."
Lu Yiyun sighed, "Brother Tang is getting more and more petty, even telling the truth makes him angry."
Tang Yuxiu held his breath; he wasn’t angry!
So helpless, so speechless.
He had to hold his tongue, or who knows how many traps this girl would set, and he’d unwittingly fall into one.
"Hey, Brother Tang, someone is getting close to your woman. Although she’s a woman too, my instinct tells me the one approaching has bad intentions."
Tang Yuxiu looked over and indeed saw someone walking up to Gu Yan, arms crossed, exuding arrogance even from a distance.
Xue Jiarui exclaimed, "Gu Qin and Gu Yan? Aren’t they cousins? Why do they look so at odds?"
Speaking of Gu Qin, Tang Yuxiu remembered, and turned his gaze darkly towards Xue Jiarui, "Did you bring that woman in?"
Xue Jiarui nodded, "Yeah, she said she was good friends with Gu Yan, so I agreed to bring her in."
Otherwise, that sort of person, he’d play with her for a day and discard her.
Tang Yuxiu snorted coldly, "Have you ever seen someone who treats the person they’re selling themselves into friendship?"
You’d have to be brainless to do that.
Xue Jiarui had a bad feeling, "What’s going on?"
"Do you know why Gu Yan became my woman? At Shengshi, I found her drugged by that woman, intending to sell her to a pig."
The few of them listening were slightly surprised.
"So there’s more to it!" Xue Jiarui glanced towards Gu Yan’s direction, his face darkening, "That bitch, how dare she play me!"
Tang Yuxiu snorted coldly and walked briskly towards Gu Yan.
Lu Yiyun gave Xue Jiarui a sympathetic look, "Silly boy, you’ve drifted through the flowers for so long and still believe a woman like that. Should I call you innocent or just stupid?"
Lu Yiyun said this, patted his face, sighed, and left.
Xiang Linghao gave him a sympathetic pat on the shoulder and, along with Tang Mubei, followed her.
Xue Jiarui stewed in anger by himself, gritted his teeth, and also followed.
However, Tang Yuxiu hadn’t even reached the lounge area before being intercepted.
"Yu Xiu." Nie Rong’s gentle voice sounded as she approached him.
Tang Yuxiu glanced towards Gu Yan, and then at Lu Yiyun who was following, giving a slight signal with his eyes. Lu Yiyun cleverly understood, seeing the situation, thought, ah, here comes another melodrama.
Lu Yiyun directly bypassed them to head towards the lounge, hearing a woman’s gentle voice behind her.
"Yu Xiu, congratulations on officially taking over Tang Group and becoming the youngest CEO in the business world."
"Thank you." Tang Yuxiu nodded indifferently.
Even as a woman herself, Lu Yiyun couldn’t feel any goodwill listening to Nie Rong’s gentle voice.
Always feeling like being too gentle was just pretentious.
She simply hated those who were overly pretentious.
The subsequent three, Tang Mubei included, also bypassed Tang Yuxiu, following behind Lu Yiyun.
Over there, his woman was confronting someone else, yet he was with another woman.
These two really are a perfect pair; if she’s not with him, then he’s with her. Anyway, they’re never together.
Pathetic.
Gu Yan was originally bowing her head, eating the snacks prepared for the banquet. She hadn’t eaten all night and was already hungry.
Just as she took a bite, a shadow fell over her.
She looked up to see Gu Qin’s face, adorned with elaborate and seductive makeup.
She couldn’t help but mentally grumble about her unfortunate luck.
Gu Qin crossed her arms, looking down at her, "Oh, Gu Yan, didn’t you say you wouldn’t attend this banquet? What, couldn’t resist the temptation and came?"
Gu Yan responded calmly, "Whether I come or not, what does it have to do with you?"
"Heh heh, Gu Yan, you ungrateful thing, you wouldn’t even give up a position for me. Yet, I’ve come by myself now, and I don’t yearn for anything from you."
