The True Young Master Reborn: No More Bootlicking, The Whole Family Is Devastated

As the long-lost son of the Lu family in Jiangzhou, Lu Yi originally thought this was heaven's favor upon him, but the truth was far from it.

Seventeen years of destitution did not earn h...

Chapter 317 I Will Try to Like You

Firefighters were busy on the ground, and more and more people gathered around, all of whom were terrified by the scene.

Gu Yan choked up and said, "Keke, whatever the problem is, Daddy can help you solve it. Come down first, okay?"

The extended family members wanted to go up and persuade her, but seeing Gu Keke's life hanging by a thread, no one dared to speak up.

They cannot bear any responsibility.

"Dad, you've done so much for me, it's my own fault for not being good enough! Please allow me to ask a few questions..."

Gu Keke covered her face with her hands, sobbed for a while, and then suddenly grinned and looked at Lu Yi.

Just then, Gu Huaibei came up and saw Fan Huijun lying limp on the ground. His expression darkened, and he helped her up.

"It's all my fault, I didn't think it through..."

Fan Huijun threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

She became a mother and had children of her own. In a daze, she saw Coco as her own child, and her heart ached as if it were being stabbed.

"It's not your fault. We forced you into this situation first. This marriage is very unfair to Lu Yi!"

Gu Huaibei sighed softly.

Gently wiping away Fan Huijun's tears.

The Gu family had long been prepared to lose Gu Keke at any time, but definitely not for her to end her own life.

Perhaps it's because these family-oriented men are outwardly somewhat cold-hearted and don't usually show it.

This led Fan Huijun to misunderstand that the Gu family was using Lu Yi as a sacrifice to bring good luck.

In fact, after Gu Yan had this idea, both Gu Huaibei and Huainan disagreed.

Lu Yi is not short of money, and he would never do anything against his conscience for money.

They didn't want to ruin their brotherhood by treating him like this, without even the most basic respect.

But between Gu Keke and Lu Yi, their hearts, like Fan Huijun's, leaned towards their own family.

When Fan Shenglun learned of this, he did not agree. He later suggested that they hold a banquet first, and then he would try to persuade Lu Yi.

Everyone noticed how well Lu Yi took care of Gu Keke at the banquet.

I thought that was the end of it, but I didn't expect that Gu Keke would cause a scene at home after she woke up.

"Coco, ask me anything you want!"

Gu Yan stood next to Lu Yi, looking at him with a complicated expression.

I already guessed Coco's question.

Liang Shiyue stood at the edge of the crowd, carrying a heavy bag.

Suddenly, I don't know why I came here.

Gu Keke was standing on high ground, and with a quick glance, she saw Liang Shiyue in the distance.

She slowly withdrew her gaze, her teary eyes turning towards Lu Yi.

"Lu Yi, tell everyone, are you willing to marry me?"

At the previous banquet, Lu Yi treated her extremely well, but she didn't ask, and Lu Yi didn't say, whether he really wanted to marry her.

Seeing the overwhelming ridicule online, Lu Yi's attitude became a source of anxiety for her.

She desperately needs to know the answer!

Gu Yan nudged Lu Yi's arm and winked at him.

Regardless, saving lives is the priority. It's just a lie. Surely Lu Yi wouldn't be so honest as to tell the truth?

Anyone with eyes can see that Lu Yi only has feelings for his ex-girlfriend and doesn't have any affection for other girls.

Gu Yan, having been through it all, understands the mindset of young people.

"Coco, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Lu Yi's answer caused Gu Yan's expression to change drastically.

Crazy?

When will they ever play these kinds of tricks again!

Gu Huaibei's hand suddenly tightened, pinching Fan Huijun until she let out a muffled groan.

Liang Shiyue thought Lu Yi would say "yes" decisively, and her steps, which were about to leave, suddenly froze. She looked over curiously.

The others were also dissatisfied with Lu Yi's answer; wasn't he pushing Gu Keke to the brink?

Gu Keke was taken aback, seemingly having never considered this question.

Her feet were a little sore, so she carefully bent down and sat down.

"Lu Yi, I want to hear the truth... You know I'm dying, I can't hide it anymore, I don't want to be fooled to death by lies!"

Gu Yan clutched his chest in heartache.

In an instant, he understood why Fan Shenglun had agreed on Lu Yi's behalf.

He has experienced the pain of a parent outliving their child, so he should feel sympathy and pity for his family.

"Okay, then I'll tell you the truth."

Lu Yi spoke, and his movements became more casual. He kicked at the debris with his feet, slowly approaching Gu Keke.

“Coco, considering our ages, it's a bit early to talk about marriage. I hadn't considered it before, but Dad said…”

Lu Yi turned around to look for Fan Shenglun, but didn't see him, so he smiled at Fan Huijun.

"My father said that it's a good thing for a man to get married early. Only after experiencing the responsibilities of human relationships can he learn how to deal with people and how to work hard."

"So...I'm willing!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This answer is fairly standard; it might not fool a normal person, but it should be enough to fool a mentally challenged, sickly person.

Gu Keke was furious. "You're lying! You only said you wanted to start a family, not that you were willing to marry me. The person you most want to marry is her, isn't that right!"

She pointed towards the stairwell.

Liang Shiyue stood there, looking lost, suddenly becoming the center of attention. She felt somewhat flustered. "Coco, Lu Yi and I have already broken up..."

She and Lu Yi were like two parallel lines that briefly intersected, but now they are drifting further and further apart, and whether they will ever intersect again remains to be seen.

Liang Shiyue will work hard, but hard work doesn't guarantee the results will be as she wishes.

"Lu Yi, I'll ask you again, why do you want to marry me? Not Wang Keke, Li Keke, Liu Keke..."

Gu Keke didn't dwell on Liang Shiyue.

But when her willful nature kicked in, Gu Yan was helpless against her.

At home, the extended family members could still say a few words, but now they are all silent and just watch the show.

"Because, more than a year ago, outside the Fanghai Hotel, it was you, Gu Keke, who came to my rescue!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Keke blinked and stood on the ground suspiciously.

"A year ago?"

“Yes, a year ago, you not only helped me out of a predicament, but also provided strong evidence to help the police identify the suspect.”

"It seems like that's true... Have you liked me for so long?"

Gu Keke's expression brightened, but then her brows furrowed again. "Impossible. Your girlfriend back then was Sister Xiaoyue."

As she spoke, she stood on the platform again.

Looking at Lu Yi with unwavering eyes, she said, "If you're lying and telling me falsehoods, I might as well just die!"

Amid the gasps of the crowd, Lu Yi smiled and lowered his head.

"Coco, I didn't like you back then, but now I really want to marry you!"

Gu Huaibei's tense heart relaxed a little.

Gu Yan loosened his clenched fist.

Just as those who were secretly cursing Lu Yi were about to do so, Gu Keke pouted and said, "You don't like me, yet you married me. You big liar!"

At this moment, Lu Yi was only one step away from her.

Taking advantage of Gu Keke turning her head, he grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.

"One cannot be trapped in the past, nor can one dream about the future; the only thing one can grasp is the present. I will try to like you..."

The sky was overcast, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Liang Shiyue didn't know how she got out of the building...
