The reception room was bright and spacious.

The exterior features large floor-to-ceiling windows, while the interior is made of transparent floor-to-ceiling glass. Today, the sunlight is excellent, and the living room is bright and airy with natural light alone, so much so that the living room door is not even closed.

Pei Wu felt she still needed to meet Gu Yanyu, the instigator who had inexplicably tricked her.

Gu Yanyu waited for Pei Wu all morning.

On the second day of Miss Pei's wedding, news about her ex-boyfriend, her "white moonlight," was already everywhere. The male protagonist in this news actually appeared in Diana early in the morning. With the help of the bad guidance of online marketing accounts and the emotional copywriting of unrequited love, Diana was in an uproar.

Gu Yanyu's eyes were bloodshot, and he had severe dark circles under his eyes. He looked haggard, as if he hadn't slept all night. Any woman would feel sorry for him looking so worn out.

“…” Pei Wu looked on in silence.

Perhaps when they saw the news, they immediately understood Gu Yanyu's intentions, so they felt that Gu Yanyu was being too deliberate. The news had only broken this morning, so how could he have foreseen today's news and spent the whole night tossing and turning in bed?

As Pei Wu lowered her eyes, she noticed the other person's hands, which were resting on their knees and seemingly uneasy, intertwined.

“There’s no need for an apology. I roughly understand what you’re thinking. I’ll just ask you one question: if I helped you get rid of the Xu family, would you refrain from doing some…” Pei Wu paused slightly, as if considering her words, “things that are pointless, like what happened today. I’m different now than before. I’m married now, and I need to consider my husband’s thoughts and feelings.”

"..." Gu Yanyu clearly hadn't expected Pei Wu to be so direct today. "I don't understand what you mean, A-Wu. What are you referring to as 'meaningless things'?"

"It refers to the farce you orchestrated and staged today."

Pei Wu always speaks directly. She is not the original owner of this body, and she has no unrequited love for Gu Yanyu. The reason she chose to meet Gu Yanyu today is only to resolve this trouble and to prevent similar things from happening again in the future.

"..." Gu Yanyu's pupils contracted sharply as he looked incredulously at Pei Wu, who sat calmly and composed across from him.

Her eyes seemed to see right through him; the air of strategic planning and complete control he had never seen in Pei Wu before.

At that moment, Gu Yanyu inexplicably felt that Pei Wu in front of him was very unfamiliar.

The old Pei Wu was always very careful when speaking to him...

Seeing Gu Yanyu remain silent, Pei Wu continued, "If I help you completely get rid of the Xu family, will you stop bothering me?" Pei Wu spoke slowly and calmly, "Perhaps you have other motives. Money? Status?"

"Entanglement?" Gu Yanyu muttered to himself, repeating Pei Wu's words.

The fact that Miss Pei, who had previously adored him so much, was now using the word 'entanglement' suddenly filled Gu Yanyu with curiosity about Pei Wu's new husband, Ye Shaosang. What kind of man could make a woman who was so good to him use the word 'entanglement' when discussing their relationship?

Pei Wu doesn't really need to care about Gu Yanyu's life or death. Once the wedding planners find the video of her conversation with Gu Yanyu yesterday, the truth will come out. Pei Wu has no lingering feelings for Gu Yanyu. Yesterday's brief conversation was just Gu Yanyu pestering her.

However, the emotional entanglement between the original owner and him was real, and what the marketing accounts on the Internet said was also exaggerated and half true. If she could not get rid of Gu Yanyu's thoughts once and for all, she was afraid that such things would only come to her one after another.

Gu Yanyu suddenly chuckled self-deprecatingly upon hearing Pei Wu's words.

"What purpose could I possibly have? Even if you call me scheming, or say I orchestrated this whole thing, all I wanted was to get rid of the Xu family and be your man openly and honestly. But it seems you've forgotten your promise to me and actually married someone else? Does you think I'm a jinx who brings bad luck to wives, just like they do?"

As Gu Yanyu spoke, his eyes reddened even more, and they seemed ready to burst into tears at any moment.

"Does Awu look down on me? Does she look down on me because I'm a married man?"

Gu Yanyu's voice rose higher and higher, only to suddenly drop again.

“Awu, how could you bear to let me live such a miserable life in the Xu family? You promised me, you promised me! You said that as long as you gave me some time, you could let me get rid of the Xu family and marry you in a grand manner. But just yesterday, you married someone else. I know you really don’t want to care about me anymore. If I don’t do something myself, am I supposed to be tortured to death in the Xu family?”

In Pei Wu's view, Gu Yanyu's words were an admission of Pei Wu's questioning and an admission of the drama he had orchestrated.

"..." Pei Wu looked at Gu Yanyu calmly. "Now that I'm married, I can only apologize for what you've said. However, if you want to get rid of the Xu family, I will help you. But from now on... we'll go our separate ways. I hope you can understand."

"As long as you promise me you won't bother me anymore, I will help you get rid of the Xu family."

When Gu Yanyu looked at Pei Wu, he subconsciously pursed his lips and hesitated to answer her question.

At this moment, Pei Wu was nowhere near the image of someone who cared for him as she remembered her. Speaking slowly, Pei Wu sat upright in her chair, her back straight and her demeanor outstanding. Facing the natural light from the window, the thin silver-rimmed glasses on her nose reflected the light slightly, making it difficult for Gu Yanyu to see the color of Pei Wu's eyes.

Pei Wu placed her hands on her knees, looking just like she was negotiating with a client when facing Gu Yanyu.

Seeing Gu Yanyu remain silent, Pei Wu continued, "I've already asked the wedding planning company to find the video of our conversation yesterday. With so many cameras around, they're sure to have captured what we were saying."

Pei Wu paused briefly, glanced at Gu Yanyu's expression, and continued, "As long as I upload yesterday's video online, all the rumors will be dispelled. But what will you do then? Even if we once had feelings for each other, you are now Miss Xu's widow, and I am a newlywed. Besides, what I said yesterday was very clear: the only daughter of the Pei family being harassed by Miss Xu's widow on her wedding day? Don't even mention how the Xu family will treat you; just consider the public opinion on the internet."

"You'll only end up disgraced."

At this point, Pei Wu slightly raised her chin. "You're very clever. From the very beginning, you wanted to use the attention my marriage would garner to achieve your goals."

Looking at Pei Wu in front of him, Gu Yanyu felt that the woman who was analyzing his psychology and behavior word by word was quite unfamiliar.
