Gu Yan knew the impact this matter would have on the two of them, and even more so, he knew that if this matter was not handled properly, it could potentially separate them.

Although he likes Xu Xinchen, it doesn't mean he'd resort to such improper means to do this.

If everyone criticizes him for everything, he might lose all face.

How could we possibly have the mind to talk about anything else at that point?

The next morning, Gu Yan arrived at Lu Shuangshuang's doorstep, wanting to see if the woman was still home.

I rang the doorbell, and sure enough, someone was home.

What brings you here?

Lu Shuangshuang clearly felt awkward about Gu Yan's arrival, and she always felt that there was something fishy about the matter.

"I've come here to talk to you about something. I know this matter has made things quite awkward for both of us, but I feel that we can continue to work together, and we can continue this project."

Lu Shuangshuang, you must be quite surprised to hear about this, considering that your attitude wasn't like this yesterday, and it's changed so much today.

"Are you really sure?"

Gu Yan nodded, and then told Lu Shuangshuang what he thought, since their relationship had already reached this point.

"Of course I've thought it through. It's impossible for the two of us to be together, so I've come to terms with it now."

In order to gain her trust, Gu Yan figured out what he should do.

Although Lu Shuangshuang was somewhat skeptical, she still agreed to the partnership between the two.

"Since you've already thought this way, I think you should know what you need to do next."

She told Gu Yan that the next step was to make their relationship even worse, until Xu Xinchen was eventually kicked out.

"I can agree to your request, but I think we should both be very happy about this. I'm telling you that we can cooperate, but I hope you can help me with the next step. Xu Xinchen is still thinking about how to clear her name, so what you need to do now is go out and admit what happened between the two of you that day."

Lu Shuangshuang had already thought it through. As long as Gu Yan admitted it, no one could say anything. Their relationship would be confirmed, regardless of whether it actually happened or not.

"How do you know nothing happened between us that day? What if something really did happen?"

Gu Yan wanted to see how this woman knew all this, and whether he could get any information out of her.

"Of course I know, and I even have the video. How could anything have happened between the two of you? I saw it all. I'm not trying to be mean, but why are you such a coward?"

Lu Shuangshuang knew very well what had happened between the two of them that night, after all, she knew what Gu Yan was capable of.

"Let me think about this. After all, this is not a small matter, and we talked a lot about it yesterday. If I really say it, it will be too late to take it back."

Gu Yan was well aware of how much trouble it would cause if he revealed this matter.

After thinking it over, I decided to give it my all for this final step, for the sake of what would become of the two of them.

"Okay, I promise you."

After the two of them reached an agreement, Gu Yan held a press conference the next day to explain to them the origin of the matter.

Hearing what Gu Yan said, they were all very surprised, not expecting things to turn out this way.

Hearing this man say that, Xu Xinchen was even more dissatisfied, as he was already very unhappy about the matter.

What is she supposed to do now that the man's words seem so unreal?

Xu Xinchen was still thinking about how to resolve this matter during this time. She originally thought that the matter would just be over, but she did not expect that Gu Yan would interfere again. What exactly does this man want to do?

Even if she's angry now, she doesn't know what to say. She and Gu Yan have already reached an agreement, so there's nothing more for Gu Yan to say to them.

Even if Chen Ningsheng ignores her, the two of them are still arguing, and their relationship is unstable, it's not a good time to talk.

After thinking about it, she decided to find Gu Yan and talk to him about what was going on and whether Lu Shuangshuang was threatening her.

She found Gu Yan and saw that he looked haggard. He avoided her after seeing her.

Just as Gu Yan was about to close the door, Xu Xinchen blocked it from closing.

They clearly had nothing left to say to each other about this matter, yet now that he had come to find him, Gu Yan truly didn't know what to say.

"What exactly do you want? Things have already come to this, what else do you have to say?"

Besides not wanting to speak, Gu Yan was mostly nervous and didn't know what to say.

He had no way of explaining this; Lu Shuangshuang had already made things this way.

He has already done this to achieve his goal, and there is no turning back.

"Gu Yan, I really misjudged you. Why did you do this? Why didn't you tell me sooner that you two had conspired together? Did I have to go through all this trouble to find various people to cover it up?"

Xu Xinchen grew angrier the more she thought about it. They had already made an agreement, but now this man had gone back on his word and said so many things in front of so many reporters.

I really don't know how to explain it. I can't explain it clearly. I don't know what to do.

"I...I know it's no use saying anything now, so I don't want to explain anything anymore. It's best if we don't talk to each other right now. If you don't want to listen to me, then naturally I don't want to explain to you either."

After finishing speaking, Gu Yan was about to leave. Right now, all he felt was guilt towards this woman.

Xu Xinchen had no idea what this man was thinking; she only saw how he treated her, and naturally, she was very unhappy.

"No explanation needed. Gu Yan, I really misjudged you. I used to think you were a reliable person, but now it seems you're just so-so. It seems I overestimated you."

Xu Xinchen is now nothing but disappointed in him.

Originally, he thought it didn't matter if Lu Shuangshuang attacked him, at least he still had friends around him who supported him, and Gu Yan didn't collude with him.
