"Given his enormous potential, I have poured a huge amount of resources into him. Now that he is dead, this investment is a complete loss. In order to cut our losses, it is necessary to stop pouring resources into Jack and those around him. Now you understand, right? I will not provide you with any help unless you have other value."

Wu Yu understood, but faced with this cold and ruthless statement, he was not angry. Instead, he calmly asked, "I thought you were his friend."

“That’s not all.” Yi Fang raised her hand and shook it. “I guess you could say I’m his girlfriend. We’ve seriously discussed marriage, but looking back now, it seems like it was the right decision not to rush into being with him and instead choose to observe for a while longer.”

"Aren't you sad at all?" Wu Yu asked in surprise.

"I'm a businesswoman, after all. How could I possibly cry, something harmful to my health, without any return? Anyway, Jack didn't like me in the first place. At most, we were just using each other," Yifang replied coldly.

Yifang waved her hand, a little impatiently saying, "Alright, if you don't leave soon, I'll have to call the guards. Violet, right? At least you don't have to worry about going to school. I personally handled the application, and even though Jack is gone, the spot is still valid."

"Let's go, Wu Yu." Violet's expression didn't change much, but Wu Yu could tell that she must be in a very bad mood.

"Hmm." Wu Yu nodded, and then even politely said to Yi Fang, "Excuse me, Miss Yi Fang."

Yi Fang was surprised by Wu Yu's good temper, but she did not try to persuade him to stay.

At that moment, the door to the room was opened again.

"Superb beauty and nourishing tea is here!" Accompanied by a lively voice, a man rushed in pushing a silver food cart.

"Brother, please don't give the food such tacky names, it makes me nauseous." Yi Fang frowned and glanced at the person who came in, saying with displeasure, "Didn't I tell you not to come in and bother me?"

"I brought you tea and snacks especially because the maids work very hard, we should be more considerate of them." The man said, making excuses for himself as he skillfully poured tea into four teacups.

This was truly a flamboyant man. His rather wealthy-looking face was shiny with oil, and his dark blue pompadour hairstyle was quite imposing. Wearing a pair of gleaming leather shoes, he cheerfully walked up to Wu Yu with a tray carrying teacups, gesturing for him to take them.

Wu Yu didn't stand on ceremony, but when he picked up his teacup, he noticed a strong scent of men's cologne. Although Wu Yu was a little uncomfortable with it, he didn't say anything.

When the man walked up to Violet, his eyes lit up, and he immediately knelt on one knee, saying affectionately...

“Beautiful lady, your silver hair shines like moonlight, which reminds me of a dear friend. Would you be so kind as to grant me the opportunity to have dinner with you? I would like to discuss with you the history of jewelry.”

"Hey, Fatty, those three things you're talking about are completely irrelevant. If you want to pick up girls, at least do your homework first," Wu Yu said bluntly, stepping between Violet and the man.

"What? You're actually questioning my womanizing skills? Let me tell you, I just went to the Monster Park with a noble lady this morning. Even in the capital, there aren't many handsome young men as rich and dashing as me." The man seemed to have been greatly insulted, pointing at Wu Yu and trying his best to defend himself.

"You've been spending money on dates with women again," Yi Fang said unhappily. "Brother, how many times have I told you, those sluts are just rich and stupid people who like you."

"How could that be? They clearly like my wise yet witty soul. Relax, although my heart is destined to be given to all the beautiful women in the world, my love will always be only for you."

"Uh." Yi Fang got goosebumps from hearing this. She rubbed her arms and said with disgust.

"Fine, I can still support a good-for-nothing like you. You should spend your time on other women instead of coming here to disgust me all the time. Look, this beautiful woman in front of you is Jack's sister. You can flirt with her however you like. Just stop bothering me while I'm working."

Impatient, Yifang simply ordered everyone to leave, including the man.

The three stood awkwardly outside the door. Wu Yu and his companion were about to leave, but the man seemed to have something else to say. His surprised expression was exactly the same as Yi Fang's back then. "Are you really Jack's sister?"

Violet nodded, but Wu Yu, fearing that the brother and sister were both cold-blooded, added, "But Jack is already dead."

"What? Jack is dead!" the man exclaimed, his voice so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire floor, and all the staff in the corridor looked over.

Then, the man collapsed to the ground and began to wail uncontrollably, "Waaah, Jack! My good brother, how could you die, waaaah!"

He cried so heartbreakingly, tears and snot streaming down his face, that Wu Yu even wondered if he and the mercenary woman in the room were really related by blood.

The walls of the Dragon Merchant Guild were quite soundproof, but faint cries still managed to get inside.

"This idiot, can't he just give me a break?" Yi Fang complained, annoyed by the crying.
