The moment Lu Yu appeared, he captivated Li Peiyu, and all her guilt and heartache for Gu Yan vanished instantly.

Lu Yuzhi glanced at Li Peiyu out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't even bother to look at her properly. He simply walked past her with a cold expression and headed straight for Gu Yan.

"How could you suddenly become so sick?" Lu Yuzhi's tone carried a hint of reproach, his deep voice echoing in the air.

"Thanks to someone, I missed curfew and ended up spending the whole night in the wind on the playground." Gu Yan's voice was somewhat weak.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuzhi's face instantly darkened; Gu Yan indeed liked her.

Li Peiyu's eyes were fixed on Lu Yuzhi's back. Thinking of his decision to break up, his cold indifference, her heart was filled with grievance and sadness. Tears welled in her eyes, threatening to spill over at any moment. She desperately wanted to turn and leave, but her eyes seemed glued to Lu Yuzhi, unable to move an inch.

“A real man shouldn’t be so dramatic. It’s about time to be discharged.” Lu Yu’s voice remained cold.

"Dad, what kind of heart do you have? You're really cruel," Gu Yan said with some dissatisfaction.

Lu Yuzhi's tone remained icy cold. "I've never been a kind person to begin with." After saying that, Lu Yuzhi got up and left without the slightest hesitation.

He never glanced at Li Peiyu once.

Li Peiyu let out a tear and fell to the ground. After counting to thirty, she apologized to Gu Yan, "I... I'll come see you again this afternoon," and then stormed out.

Gu Yan turned his gaze to Li Peiyu and saw her tearful, pitiful figure. His heart softened immediately. He then turned to Song Yang and said, "Who told you to make her cry?"

With an innocent expression, Song Yang spread his hands and protested, "How could I have made you cry?"

"Didn't you say I was going to commit suicide? Look at how scared you've made her." Gu Yan frowned, his words carrying a hint of reproach.

"Oh, you're feeling sorry for her already? You're really shameless." Song Yang curled his lip, his tone laced with teasing and disdain.

Li Peiyu jogged along, panting, trying his best to catch up with Lu Yuzhi. His legs were too long, and he walked too fast.

Li Peiyu watched helplessly as Lu Yu got into the car, and then the car started moving.

Li Peiyu finally arrived and reached for the car door handle. The driver was startled by the sudden situation and quickly slammed on the brakes. The driver had no idea what was going on and could only wait quietly for Lu Yuzhi to give instructions.
