Chapter 74 Pei Yi is right, he is just heartless
Assistant Lin Te looked in the direction of his sight.
Having worked as colleagues on the top floor for several years, he is much more familiar with Liu Yiyi than Wu Yue.
"It's her. She's probably here to see Mr. Lu."
He hadn't paid attention to Liu Yiyi's movements since she left Lu's family, but he could roughly guess something without even thinking about it.
She wasn't having a good time.
Therefore, Special Assistant Lin was not at all surprised why she appeared here.
Wu Yue got a definite answer from Special Assistant Lin, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
Whether it was the relationship problems between Jian Yao and Lu Ge, or the quarrel with Li, it was ultimately Liu Yiyi's fault.
It was she who shamelessly interfered in the relationship between Jian Yao and Lu Ge, and it was also she who whispered in Lu Ge's ear to arrange her useless brother to work in the company.
After all, it was all her fault.
Under the light of the car lights, Liu Yiyi waved in the direction of the car, obviously recognizing that it was Lu Chengze's car.
Wu Yue snorted disdainfully and told the driver, "Ignore her and just drive past."
A black car passed by, and the wind it brought lifted Liu Yiyi's hair.
It was a hot summer day, but she felt cold all over.
She stared blankly at the familiar license plate disappearing at the gate of the community, and stood there in a daze.
She has been following Lu Chengze since college. After all these years, does he really not have any feelings for her at all?
She even...
He even rejected the generous offer from Lu Jingyi.
She came today just hoping that Lu Chengze would let her brother go for once out of their last bit of kindness.
But he refused to give her even a chance to talk or meet him.
Liu Yiyi lowered her head, and warm tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, tasted bitter and astringent.
The mobile phone in his hand kept vibrating, and every message was urging and questioning from Liu's mother.
She bit her lip and stared at the jumping message for a while. Finally, she made up her mind to find the strange number and dial it.
The person on the other end seemed certain that she would regret it, and answered the phone very quickly, with a light and playful tone.
"Have you figured it out?"
Liu Yiyi pursed her lips and confirmed again, "Can you guarantee that the Lu family will let my brother go after this is done?"
Lu Jingyi snorted and laughed, "Of course, if you don't believe me, I can transfer the money I promised you first."
Liu Yiyi thought of her brother's request for help in the police station, her parents' questioning, and Lu Chengze's ruthlessness, and the hesitation in her eyes gradually turned into determination.
"Okay, I promise."

The entrance of Xiaoxiang Mansion.
Xu Yao watched Gu Zhiyan's black Bentley disappear into the night, and raised his hand to rub his stiff face.
The secretary behind him was holding the freshly-made contract, smiling from ear to ear.
"We used so many connections but still couldn't get in touch with Gu's family. We never expected that the most useful connection was right next to us!"
"yes."
Xu Yao thought back to what had happened just now. Throughout the entire cooperation negotiation, Gu Zhiyan was extremely easy to talk to, as if signing the contract was just a formality. It was obvious that he was deliberately giving Xu an easy hand.
He actually went there on the engagement day, but there were so many people surrounding the Gu family that he couldn't squeeze in close.
Moreover, at that time they just thought that Jian Yao was marrying up, and as people from her family, they couldn't lose face for Jian Yao and let the Gu family look down on her.
Who would have thought that Gu Zhiyan and the Gu family seemed to value Jian Yao so much?
Even Xu Si, who got along well with her, was noticed by Gu Zhiyan.
Thinking back to the rock sugar bird's nest that Gu Zhiyan had just packed, he carried it with his own hands the whole time and didn't even let his assistant touch it.
I felt deeply moved.
"Jian Yao is a lucky girl."
When the secretary heard this, he thought of Lu Chengze who had just been dragged away, and curled his lips.
"That's right! Miss Jian Yao is blessed, but some people are probably going to be pissed off to death!"
What is this!
I don't even understand how to eat free food!
Look at his behavior just now. I heard that he even drove away the previous secretary named Liu.
The child died and the milk came.
What's the use!
"Mr. Gu has a good temper and doesn't get angry even if he offends you."
Xu Yao shook his head.
The boy is still too young. With Gu Zhiyan's status, why does he need to do it himself?
He only needed to show a little signal in front of others that he disliked the Lu family and Lu Chengze, and many people would be willing to charge into the battle line to please him.
He didn't argue with Lu Chengze because he knew that Lu Chengze didn't need his help at all.

After Gu Zhiyan got on the car, he put the lunch box in his hand away.
Assistant Xu glanced through the rearview mirror at Mr. Gu in the back seat.
His expression was normal, clear and elegant, without a trace of anger.
"Boss Gu, aren't you angry?"
He was provoked by Lu Chengze twice and three times.
Gu Zhiyan tugged at his tie, unbuttoning a button on his collar with his white fingertips, and asked lazily and casually, "What are you angry about?"
He chuckled, "I should be happy."
If it weren't for Lu Chengze's own disappointment, he might be the one drinking and going crazy now.
Pei Yi was right, he was just dirty-hearted.
To him, Lu Chengze's desolation and regret were a triumphant song of victory.
He was extremely happy to see him in pain.
Assistant Xu didn't quite understand why his boss was so happy, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions and concentrated on driving.
Gu Zhiyan raised his hand to check his watch. It was already past eight o'clock.
He raised his hand to feel the temperature of the food box and spoke softly.
"A little faster."
This was the latest he had returned home since Jian Yao moved in. I wondered if she would be worried.
Gu Zhiyan lowered his eyes, looked at his mobile phone which was motionless, and curled his lips in self-mockery.
Probably... not, right?
Assistant Xu held the steering wheel and looked at the crowded road ahead. He was not surprised by Gu Zhiyan's "rude" request.
Since getting engaged to Miss Jian Yao, the old “hardworking, overtime-crazy, and bossy” person no longer exists.
The current one is "Not doing his job. A man who dotes on his wife. Mr. Gu."
What's the big deal about speeding up? I'm willing to work overtime to discuss cooperation because the other party is Xu.
It is said that Xu Si, the vice president of Xu Group, and his wife wear the same pair of pants.
Nowadays, best friends tend to encourage separation rather than reconciliation, and you can't do without pleasing them.
In the silent carriage, the short message alert sound is particularly obvious.
The familiar cat avatar is displayed on the lit mobile phone screen.
The black eyes immersed in the night suddenly flooded with a bright color, and the slender fingertips swiped open the mobile phone screen.
"Are you busy today?"
The words "typing" at the top of the screen appeared and disappeared several times, as if the user was choosing his words carefully.
Gu Zhiyan smiled and typed a line of words and sent it over.
"Well, I just signed a contract and am on my way back now."
This time, the reply was much faster.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
He lowered his eyes and looked at the words "I'll wait for you". Even though he knew that she was just saying it casually, he couldn't help but feel a sweet feeling in his heart.
In Gu Garden, Jian Yao held her cell phone, feeling a little regretful.
If she had known he was on his way back, she would not have asked.
Tonight was the first night they would officially live together, and she urged him to come back, showing how anxious she was.
Especially when she had prepared a gift.
