Chapter 33 Gu Suixing, Aren't you childish?

Huo Huai'an followed Gu Suixing into his room, laid down his suitcase, took out his clothes, and hung them in the closet without any hesitation.

Gu Suixing said coldly, "Get out."

Huo Huai'an didn't stop what he was doing and casually said, "Then I'll go and stay with Lu Nian?"

Gu Suixing's jawline was tense, and he didn't respond.

Huo Huai'an finished packing his things and, seeing that Gu Suixing still had a cold face and looked unapproachable, asked with some amusement, "Are you having a fight?"

Gu Suixing ignored him.

Huo Huai'an continued, seemingly oblivious to his own words, "Why are you angry with the young lady? Do you really expect her to lower her head and come to you on her own?"

Just as he finished speaking, a bell rang.

Gu Suixing calmly pressed the answer button, and the young lady's angry shout came through the receiver—

"Gu Suixing, how childish are you!"

The sound was so loud that Huo Huai'an could hear it even standing several meters away.

Gu Suixing glanced at Huo Huai'an with a mocking expression, her eyes seeming to say, "Well, here you are, coming to me on your own initiative."

Huo Huai'an: "..."

His face hurt a little.

What's even more outrageous is that the next second he heard this ancestor lazily say, "I'm just that childish."

Huo Huai'an: "…………"

"Sleepwalking? Who went back on their word? What did I promise? Where's the proof?"

"If you can't understand human language, go back to the pigsty. If you keep yelling, I'll kill you."

"Why wouldn't I dare, you..."

The conversation ended abruptly there.

The young lady seemed to have hung up the phone first.

This guy wasn't angry when the call was hung up on. He picked up his laptop, walked to the sofa, and sat down, looking like he was about to get to work.

Her face, which had just looked so delicate and cold, now showed no signs of being frozen at all.

Judging from his expression, he seems to be in a pretty good mood.

Huo Huai'an was utterly speechless.

In the next room, Lu Fengqing, who had hung up the phone first, raised her chin.

Want to hang up on her? Dream on!

What a scoundrel.

...

...

Lu Fengqing lowered her head.

Men who have new lovers are just different.

So what if you're childhood sweethearts? So what if you're an ex?

She was no longer useful to him, so the cooperation he had previously promised to give to the Lu family fell through.

Lu Fengqing opened the message that Lu Fengyang had just sent her.

Actually, he didn't say much, just asked her if she had argued with Gu Suixing.

Her second brother wasn't the type to meddle in other people's business; there must have been some problem with the collaboration, otherwise he wouldn't have asked her such a question for no reason.

She also knew that this was not Gu Suixing's fault. She had obtained the cooperation through "improper means" in the first place, and now that things had fallen apart, it was normal for him not to want to give it to Lu's Group anymore.

Continuing this ambiguous relationship would only harm both of them. She didn't want to beg or coax him anymore; at least she wouldn't take the initiative. So she was prepared to lose that partnership.

Lu Fengqing thought with a sense of despair: So what if the Lu family is gone? As long as we're still here, we'll rise again someday.

At worst, she could sell her house and car, and all the jewelry and limited-edition bags she'd collected over the years; they'd be worth at least a billion yuan.

If that's not enough, she...she'll go work for Boss Xie!

...

Huo Huai'an was idly scrolling through his WeChat Moments when he came across a video posted by Lu Fengqing of herself talking to a beautiful robot. His lips twitched.

Below is a reply from his sister, a wealthy and aristocratic woman with a yellow diamond:

[Yellow Diamond Luxury Noble: How silly, hahahahahahaha]

"..."

Great, the price of Yellow Diamond has been reduced. From now on, you are just an ordinary Yellow Diamond VIP who pays 10 yuan a month or 120 yuan a year.

Huo Huai'an scrolled back to the top, and a new update popped up.

[Lu Nian: [Image] If men are reliable, pigs will fly.]

In the photo, the woman's slender, fair hand rests on the glass window, as if she is caressing the sunset outside.

That's not the point.

The key point is that the pink diamond ring on her middle finger, which she wore the whole way and would occasionally raise to look at, is gone.

There were no reflections of people on the floor-to-ceiling windows, but a trash can was cleverly placed there.

"..."

Huo Huai'an suddenly remembered the photo that his ancestor had posted before, showing a diamond ring that had been thrown into a trash can.

This trash can that "inadvertently" appeared in the photo... has a similar effect.

Huo Huai'an refreshed the page again, and his sister, who had just been downgraded to a Yellow Diamond VIP, had arrived at the scene.

[Diamond VIP: Hey, men are just like ATMs, who goes to rely on an ATM for no reason?]

Huo Huai'an looked up and saw that Gu Suixing was also looking at her phone, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Noticing that his ancestor was about to look up, Huo Huai'an quickly looked away and pretended to be asleep.

If he can't afford to offend him, can't he at least avoid him?

-

Huo Huai'an knew that the young lady liked to make a grand entrance, so he specially knocked on her door twenty minutes early.

Gu Suixing stood to the side, his face full of impatience... It was hard to tell whether he was genuinely impatient or just putting on an act for someone else.

Huo Huai'an knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response from inside.

Qin Xuan asked, "Asleep?"

The door across the street opened, and a strange man and woman came out.

The woman's gaze lingered on them for a few seconds before she said softly, "This lady across the street just left."

The man who came out with her greeted her with a smile: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Huo."

Huo Huai'an subconsciously looked at that ancestor.

Very well, the face of this ancestor, which had just melted away two hours ago, has frozen again.

-

As the banquet time approached, there were only a few guests in the banquet hall besides the staff and waiters.

The group of young men who had been chatting in a group turned to look at the banquet hall entrance when they heard the noise.

The woman who walked gracefully towards them wore a long black dress with a side slit, her seaweed-like black hair cascading down her back, her fox-like eyes sparkling, and her fiery red lips incredibly alluring.

The men were stunned.

“It’s you.”

One of the young men, after regaining his senses, let out a soft exclamation of surprise.

Lu Fengqing recognized him.

It was the young man who struck up a conversation with her at the technology expo that afternoon.

Lu Fengqing was surprised to run into her here. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a familiar female voice coming from behind her.

"Miss Lu?" The woman strode up to Lu Fengqing. "It really is you!"

The woman's voice was very loud, as if she wanted everyone in the banquet hall to hear it.

Lu Fengqing remained silent, arms crossed, watching the woman's performance with amusement.

She wanted to see what tricks this gossip was up to this time!

"I thought I was seeing things, after all, you always make a grand entrance last." The woman glanced at Lu Fengqing, her smile widening. "Don't you always wear formal gowns to these kinds of banquets? Why are you only wearing haute couture today? Is your Lu family really failing you?"

"..."

The smile on Lu Fengqing's lips disappeared.
