Chapter 22



What? What?

Gu Zhendong became her kept man?

Lu Huan couldn't help but laugh out loud, two blushes appearing on her fair cheeks. However, she looked at Xu Wei with particularly mocking eyes and retorted without any mercy: "If your eyes are not good, you should go to the hospital to get them checked out."

What kind of eyes do you have to say that Gu Zhendong is her kept man?

Don't you even look at Gu Zhendong's aura? Do you think I can afford to keep him?

"Besides, what business is it of yours whether I support men or not?"

Regardless of whether Gu Zhendong is her kept man, even if he is, what does that have to do with the two of them?

Lu Huan turned to look at the man sitting opposite her. Gu Zhendong frowned deeply, his dark eyes fixed on Chu Jun and Xu Wei.

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes. If Kong Xun were here, he would definitely be so nervous that his palms would be sweating. He would be silently praying for Chu Jun and Xu Wei.

The atmosphere in the private room instantly turned cold.

They couldn't really control Lu Huan keeping a gigolo, but Xu Wei felt inexplicably depressed and uncomfortable all over.

Xu Wei, still oblivious to the eerie atmosphere, yelled at Lu Huan, "Lu Huan, aren't you afraid your dad will find out you're keeping a gigolo outside?"

Although Lu Zhong dotes on Lu Huan, he doesn't want to spoil his daughter. As long as Lu Huan's actions aren't too outrageous, Lu Zhong usually won't interfere.

If Lu Zhong found out about Lu Huan keeping a male lover, he would definitely break both of Lu Huan's legs.

Lu Huan could only laugh: "What's it to you? I can support whoever I want, what's it to you?! Am I using your money to support a man, or eating your rice?!"

"you……"

What's wrong with me?

"You're absolutely shameless! Keeping a gigolo and acting so arrogantly!"

"I'm shameless? Hah... You men are allowed to have a few mistresses outside, but we women aren't allowed to have a man? You hypocrite!"

No wonder they're following the male lead; they all have sexist tendencies.

Xu Wei was furious. Lu Huan actually scolded him for this pretty boy. "You actually did this for this pretty boy..."

"You didn't brush your teeth this morning, did you? Your breath smells awful!"

Xu Wei kept calling Gu Zhendong a pretty boy, and Lu Huan's face turned cold: "Xu Wei, you're not just jealous because he's better looking than you, so you're deliberately calling him a pretty boy?"

Xu Wei was furious, his eyes bulging as if they were about to pop out. "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Who would be jealous of a pretty boy? He doesn't make a living off his looks.

"Hehe, who told you to be ugly? It's only natural to be jealous of people who are more handsome than you."

Xu Weisheng was not bad-looking, and many women pursued him from childhood to adulthood. The word "ugly" had never been associated with him.

But one thing is undeniable: Gu Zhendong is indeed better looking than Xu Wei.

Xu Wei was absolutely furious. Lu Huan actually compared him to a pretty boy, "Who do you think is uglier?!"

"Whoever answers, that's who."

"Lu Huan, you..."

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Chu Jun not only had a headache listening to it, but was also flustered.

He snapped at Xu Wei, "Xu Wei, that's enough!"

Gu Zhendong is mysterious and low-key, so it's normal that Xu Wei doesn't know him.

However, Chu Jun had met Gu Zhendong before, and they even had business dealings.

Given Gu Zhendong's status, he could never possibly be Lu Huan's kept lover.

Every time Chu Jun faced Gu Zhendong, he was always overwhelmed by the aura emanating from the other party.

I had long heard that Gu Zhendong was ruthless and might break up their cooperation because of this.

Gu Zhendong is not someone they can afford to offend!

Or rather, they cannot afford to offend Gu Zhendong right now.

Xu Wei wanted to take advantage of Chu Jun's presence to give Lu Huan a good talking-to, so that she wouldn't only have eyes for men all the time.

Unexpectedly, Chu Jun was scolding himself, and he was momentarily stunned: "Lu Huan, she..."

Lu Huan has liked him for so many years, yet he doesn't care at all?

Chu Jun's expression turned ugly, and he gave him a meaningful look: "Shut up!"

They had known each other for many years, and Xu Wei regarded Chu Jun as a brother. He listened to whatever Chu Jun listened to.

Right now, Chu Jun's face was solemn, and his low voice was full of warning, telling him not to speak.

What's wrong?

"But……"

Xu Wei wanted to say more hurtful things, but Chu Jun forced him to shut up with a look.

He glared resentfully at Gu Zhendong, who was sitting opposite Lu Huan, and, having some idea that this man was no ordinary person, shut his mouth indignantly.

Now that the joke has already been made, Lu Huan just wants to know how Chu Jun will handle this matter.

I still remember how respectful Chu Jun was to Gu Zhendong back in the Heaven on Earth.

Xu Wei has now messed with someone he can't afford to offend.

Chu Jun calmed down and his mind raced. The best solution he could think of was to apologize.

"Mr. Gu, this is a misunderstanding. My friend made a mistake. I apologize on his behalf."

Chu Jun's apology was sincere; he had always been arrogant and had never bowed his head to anyone.

After he finished speaking, the private room became unusually quiet; you could hear a pin drop.

Gu Zhendong dislikes being disturbed by others, even business partners.

He had previously admired Chu Jun's talent and methods.

But now, he finds everything about Chu Jun displeasing.

Gu Zhendong glanced at Lu Huan, his dark eyes falling on Chu Jun's face with a gloomy expression. "President Chu, shouldn't you apologize to Miss Lu?"

Xu Wei was stunned. He wanted Chu Jun to apologize to Lu Huan?!

Lu Huan was always the one chasing after Chu Jun, and Chu Jun always disliked her. Lu Huan was always the one with the lowest posture, always apologizing.

Now, it's the other way around, and Chu Jun has to apologize to Lu Huan?

Xu Wei turned to look at the man beside him. Chu Jun frowned, thought for less than a second, and then apologized to Lu Huan in a deep voice: "Lu Huan, I'm sorry, Xu Wei didn't mean it. You know he's always been impulsive."

He said he was apologizing to Lu Huan, but in reality, he was just making excuses for his brother.

I really don't know what the original owner saw in Chu Jun?

He's not particularly good-looking, has a terrible temper, and most importantly, he's incredibly ruthless towards the original owner of this body.

Lu Huan raised an eyebrow: "Sorry, I have amnesia and don't remember anything from before."

Whether Xu Wei has a fiery temper or not has nothing to do with me.

Chu Jun choked, but Lu Huan remained indifferent and continued, "I'm not that petty. Just have Xu Wei apologize to me and my friend, and then you two leave quickly and don't disturb our meal."

What a spoilsport! We were having a nice meal when two lunatics showed up.

Xu Wei had no intention of apologizing to Lu Huan. She was keeping a gigolo on the side, and she still thought she was right.

However, Chu Jun glanced at them and said, "Apologize to Lu Huan!"

Xu Wei glared angrily, "I..." No...

The words of refusal stuck in her throat. Suddenly, she remembered that Chu Jun had already apologized in person. If she didn't apologize, the other party would definitely make things difficult for Chu Jun again.

Even Chu Jun was quite wary of who the other party was.

Reluctantly, Xu Wei said with a dark face, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what? You should at least give me the full answer."

"you!"

I've already apologized, but she's still pushing her luck.

Xu Wei wanted to lash out, but Chu Jun pushed him and gave him a warning look. He had no choice but to apologize again in annoyance: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that about you, and I especially shouldn't have called your friend a gigolo."

Lu Huan wasn't a very demanding person. Since Xu Wei had apologized, she didn't want to keep nagging him.

The main reason was that she really didn't want to see those two people.

Lu Huan waved his hand, "Please, you two, get out of here as soon as possible!"

Chu Jun and Xu Wei were both pampered young masters, and when had they ever been told to get out? Their faces turned extremely ugly.

Gu Zhendong didn't want these two to disturb his and Lu Huan's meal, so he didn't even exchange a few polite words and left everything to Lu Huan.

The moment he sat there, he was essentially acting as Lu Huan's protector.

Although Chu Jun was displeased, he didn't say anything more.

"Mr. Gu, I'd like to invite you to dinner another day when you're free."

As the two emerged from the private room, Xu Wei, unable to contain himself, asked, "Who was that pretty boy just now? Why did you apologize to Lu Huan?"

The person who could make Chu Jun apologize must be someone extraordinary.

Xu Wei racked his brain for all the people in S City with the surname Gu, but he couldn't connect them to that one person.

Chu Jun lowered his voice in front of others, feeling frustrated. He took a deep breath and said, "He is Gu Zhendong."

"Gu Zhendong?"

Xu Wei gasped, "How could it be him? Wasn't there a rumor a while ago that he was unconscious and about to die? How come he doesn't look like he's about to die at all today?"

Gu Zhendong's coma was kept very secret, but some rumors still got out.

Various rumors about Gu Zhendong's incompetence and the impending change of ownership of the Gu family have been circulating widely, and many people are eager to make a move.

Seeing him today, I realized he wasn't the person who was supposedly dying from illness as the legends said.

Thinking of the scene of Lu Huan and Gu Zhendong having a meal together, Chu Jun felt extremely annoyed. He lit a cigarette and smoked it, saying, "Rumors are not credible."

I had met Gu Zhendong once before. He looked at most unwell, not as frail and bedridden as the rumors suggested.

After a few days apart, Gu Zhendong looked much better than before.

Inside the private room, Lu Huan apologized to Gu Zhendong: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, for causing you trouble."

"It's nothing." Gu Zhendong's voice was low and deep, indescribably pleasant. "What's your relationship with Chu Jun?"

Gu Zhendong pondered for a while, but finally couldn't help but ask.

Lu Huan scooped up a spoonful of caramel pudding; the caramel was crisp and sweet. Without thinking, she replied, "I have nothing to do with him."

Gu Zhendong frowned, seemingly not quite believing it.

He had seen Lu Huan's profile, which clearly stated that she had pursued Chu Jun.

He still wanted to hear Lu Huan's words in person, even though it was all in writing.

There was no point in hiding such a trivial matter with Chu Jun, so Lu Huan simply told him the truth.

"Actually, before I lost my memory, my eyesight wasn't very good. I really liked him and did a lot of crazy things for him... but he didn't like me at all and even hated me. Luckily, I lost my memory and forgot everything from before. Now I don't like him at all."

Lu Huan spoke with great relief, as if liking Chu Jun was a dangerous thing.

Gu Zhendong noticed Lu Huan's last words: she no longer liked Chu Jun at all.

The lingering unease in her heart subsided, and her expression brightened slightly. "He hates you?"

He never misjudges people; the way Chu Jun looked at her just now clearly showed he cared a lot.

"That's not true, no matter what I do, he hates me!"

Chu Jun was prejudiced against the original owner of this body. No matter what she did, Chu Jun liked to think of her in the worst possible light.

Oh well, anyway, she's just a wicked and self-destructive supporting character in the book.

"This time it must be Xu Wei gossiping in front of Chu Jun. Chu Jun doesn't like me, so he deliberately came to mock me and make a fool of me."

To see her make a fool of herself?

Gu Zhendong frowned, his face looking very unpleasant.

Lu Huan thought Gu Zhendong was angry because Xu Wei called him a gigolo, so she hurriedly said, "Mr. Gu, don't take what they said to heart. They're just targeting me. I really hate them."

Does she hate Chu Jun?

Gu Zhendong raised an almost imperceptible smile, his expression faint. "Hmm, I didn't mind."

The food was delicious, and Lu Huan even drank some wine.

Lu Huan is a very lively person, and she becomes even more talkative after drinking.

She rambled on and on, talking about this and that, her pink lips opening and closing non-stop.

Gu Zhendong originally wanted to stop her, but seeing that she kept talking, he stopped trying to persuade her.

Lu Huan has a good alcohol tolerance; after drinking more than one glass, he remained perfectly sober.

After dinner, Gu Zhendong offered to take Lu Huan home.

Having earned 10,000 yuan from someone, and then being treated to a meal and offered to take her home, Lu Huan felt somewhat embarrassed.

She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't refuse.

Gu Zhendong insisted on delivering it: "I happen to be free."

Lu Huan didn't refuse again and got into Gu Zhendong's car.
