Chapter 177 Fu Siyan and I have been in love for many years
When Xiao Zhang led Lin Lanyi to the audiovisual room, Zhou Yuchu was already sitting on the sofa, holding a script and looking down at it.
Hearing the noise, she looked up at Lin Lanyi, then turned to Xiao Zhang and said, "You can go out now."
"Okay." Xiao Zhang nodded, turned around and walked out, closing the door behind him.
Zhou Yuchu put down the script, stood up, and walked towards Lin Lanyi.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I recently started a new job and I've been so busy, I—"
Snap!
A crisp slap landed directly on Zhou Yuchu's face.
Zhou Yu's face turned to one side after being slapped, leaving a clear handprint on his cheek!
Zhou Yuchu was stunned until a burning pain shot through her cheek, at which point she finally came to her senses!
She covered her face, looked at Lin Lanyi, her eyes red with anger, but she still pretended to be weak and begged for mercy, "Mom, why did you hit me?"
"You think I can't do anything to you just because you changed companies and phone numbers?"
Lin Lanyi glared at her fiercely, "Let me tell you, Zhou Yuchu, I gave birth to you and raised you so that you could become successful and repay me! Now that you have money and fame, you want to kick me to the curb, right? Let me tell you, you're dreaming!"
Zhou Yu stared at Lin Lanyi.
So you've finally stopped pretending, huh?
Zhou Yuchu hated Lin Lanyi to the extreme, but she knew it wasn't the right time yet.
She needs to be more patient!
"Mom, please don't be angry, okay? I really didn't change my phone number on purpose. I changed jobs, and they won't let me use my old number anymore because they're worried my old company will try to poach me if they see I become famous, so..."
"You don't need to tell me so much!" Lin Lanyi pushed Zhou Yuchu away, walked to the sofa and sat down, breathing heavily. "Just give me the money."
Zhou Yuchu gritted his teeth secretly, "How many do you want?"
"Give me fifty million."
Zhou Yu was shocked: "Fifty million?!"
"Mrs. Gu sued me."
Lin Lanyi said impatiently, "That stupid woman is just relying on her three sons and her family to back her up! I was also deceived by Gu Zheng. I never thought he was a 'phoenix man'! The Gu family's wealth was all thanks to that stupid woman's dowry and her family's support! Now he's been kicked out with nothing, and I have to return all the things he bought for me!"
"Gu Zheng spent so much money on you?"
"More than 30 million!" Lin Lanyi looked at her and said quite matter-of-factly, "The other 20 million is for my medical treatment and living expenses. You are so busy with work, and it's not easy for me to contact you every time. Just give me a larger amount at once, so I won't have to bother you all the time!"
Zhou Yu was so angry he almost laughed.
Want to give me a larger amount all at once?
Even if she had that much money, would Lin Lanyi be lucky enough to spend it all?
"I don't have that much money right now."
"Who are you trying to fool!" Lin Lanyi sneered. "Don't think I don't know you've taken on a lot of commercials and variety shows in the past month! How could you not have fifty million!"
"Mom, I really don't have that much. Those appearance fees and advertising fees also need to be split with the company. It's really not as easy as you say!"
Zhou Yuchu looked at Lin Lanyi and said in an almost pleading tone, "I only have five million in cash here, would you please take it first?"
"What can five million do!" Lin Lanyi's face contorted with rage. "I don't care! Fifty million, not a penny less!"
Zhou Yu frowned.
"Xiao Chu, I know you're capable. Even if you don't have 50 million right now, you can definitely help me raise it if you want to. Here's what I'll do: I'll give you three days. If you don't give me 50 million after three days, then I'll have to sell my most valuable secret."
Lin Lanyi emphasized the word 'secret'.
Zhou Yu's pupils dilated, and his whole body tensed up instantly!
Seeing her reaction, Lin Lanyi felt extremely pleased. "Xiao Chu, I had no choice. I don't want to die. I need a lot of money to treat my illness. Just consider it repayment for the kindness of giving birth to you and raising you!"
As Zhou Yu closed his eyes, many dark images flashed before them.
Her hands, hanging clenched at her sides, clenched into fists. She gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. "Okay, I understand. I'll transfer the money to you in three days."
Having achieved her goal, Lin Lanyi felt much better and got up to leave.
After closing the door, Zhou Yuchu swept all the wine and fruit on the table onto the floor.
The floor was a mess, and the bright red wine was like the blood from that night when I was 17...
Zhou Yuchu clutched his head, crouched down, and let out a sharp roar.
The roar echoed in the home theater, each sound intense and terrifying, like a ghost.
…
That night, Zhou Yu changed into a designer black fitted dress, put on exquisite makeup, picked up her bag, and went out.
Xiao Zhang was driving the car.
Throughout the journey, Zhou Yuchu remained silent in the back seat.
Xiao Zhang would glance at Zhou Yuchu through the rearview mirror every now and then.
Zhou Yu was lost in thought.
Twenty minutes later, the car drove into the new patriarch's residence of the Zhou family.
Zhou Yu pushed open the door. "Wait for me in the car. I'll be out soon."
Xiao Zhang nodded in agreement, "Okay."
As Zhou Yu stepped out of the carriage, the female housekeeper came forward to greet him.
"Miss Zhou, Mr. Zhou is on the second floor. I'll lead you in."
Zhou Yu nodded.
Outside the master bedroom door on the second floor.
The housekeeper knocked on the door. "Sir, Miss Zhou has arrived."
"Come in."
The housekeeper opened the door and gestured for Zhou Yuchu to come in, "Miss Zhou, please come in."
Zhou Yuchu gripped her bag tightly and stepped into the bedroom.
The housekeeper lowered her head, kept her eyes straight ahead, and closed the door.
The master bedroom lights were off, except for the small orange lamp by the bedside.
Zhou Baiting stood tall and imposing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, exuding an aura of mystery and danger.
Zhou Yu's heart raced, and when he spoke, his voice trembled uncontrollably, "Second...Second Brother."
Zhou Baiting turned around, wearing glasses on his nose, the lenses gleaming coldly.
"They all say you are Fu Siyan's most beloved woman, is that true?"
Zhou Yu was a little confused by the question, but in Beicheng, who didn't fear Fu Siyan?
Zhou Baiting showed great interest in her from the first time they met, and even now, his purpose in inviting her over is definitely not pure!
Perhaps, by bringing up Fu Siyan, she can still protect herself!
“Siyan and I have been in love for many years. Although we have to separate now for some reasons, Siyan still takes care of me in private.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Baiting raised an eyebrow. "So, he helped you switch to your new company too?"
Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes!"
Zhou Baiting took off his glasses and smiled faintly, "It seems that Fu Siyan is indeed as rumored, deeply in love with you."
Zhou Yu didn't notice the cold ruthlessness that flashed in the man's eyes.
She said, "Siyan is indeed deeply in love with me, and I love him very much too."
Zhou Baiting shook his glasses. "Since Fu Siyan loves you so much, why would he need to borrow a mere fifty million from me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuchu lowered her head, her voice choked with emotion, "I am someone else's wife now, how can I possibly ask him for money?"
Zhou Baiting stared at her for a while, then said, "Someone will give you money after you go out, and you can leave now."
Zhou Yu was stunned; he had never expected things to go so smoothly!
As she left the master bedroom, the housekeeper handed her a bank card. "There's no PIN. Please keep it safe, Miss Zhou."
Zhou Yuchu happily accepted the card, "Thank you!"
The housekeeper personally escorted Zhou Yuchu out.
Zhou Yu got into the carriage.
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window in the master bedroom on the second floor, Zhou Baiting watched the departing car, his eyes filled with a sinister glint.
"Fu Siyan, is this the woman you love?"
