Because he had agreed to Li Kuo's plan for the evening, Bai Luoyu brought a few people directly to his own hot spring villa, where they could soak in the hot springs and drink tea. There was also a place for leisure and entertainment, so everyone could chat together and wait until the evening to see what Li Kuo was up to.
"Nianchen, what are your plans after you return to China? Will you continue to go to school?" Chen Yu asked.
"No, I'll go back to the company after the show. I need to make money for Luo Yuhua." Gu Nianchen had a good impression of Chen Yu and the others, and didn't want to be pretentious anymore, so he chatted casually.
"Oh my, you really have to show off after just two sentences. I don't have to eat dinner tonight. You two can feed me well." Ye Miao held his forehead up to the sky.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Nian Chen to be like this. At first I thought you were too cold and difficult to approach." Chen Yu also joined in.
"Isn't that because of Luo Yu? He doesn't like it."
This time even Bai Luoyu couldn't stand it anymore. He pinched Gu Nianchen hard again and then covered his mouth.
"Seriously."
"Seriously? When are we getting married?"
When Chen Yu and Ye Miao heard this, they all burst into laughter, and Bai Luoyu almost wanted to beat Gu Nianchen to death.
"I was wrong. Why don't you hit me twice?" Gu Nianchen apologized quickly. He was so sweet and naive that you couldn't even breathe when you were angry.
Bai Luoyu was also amused by him and gave him a glare.
"That's enough, you two." Chen Yu thought to himself, this is pure dog abuse, show it to me.
The four of them spent the entire afternoon chatting and it passed quickly.
Although Ye Miao's family background was very different from the other three, he had a good personality and high emotional intelligence, and he had a lot of fun chatting with them.
But he was always a little worried in his heart, and he always felt that this night would not be peaceful.
In fact, the other three people had the same idea, but no one said it out loud.
Chen Yu felt that saying it wouldn't change anything, so he had to face it and this matter had to come to an end.
Gu Nianchen, on the other hand, was completely confident. Those two weren't going to cause any waves. Bai Luoyu, by nature, didn't take things too seriously, believing in the saying, "When you reach the mountain, there will always be a way." Now that he had Gu Nianchen, he was even less inclined to dwell on it. It was so tiring; being a pretty vase was fine.
In the evening, Li Kuo sent a message in the group, informing them that the VIP room had been booked and the time was right, saying that everything had been arranged.
Several people went back to their rooms to pack up and prepare to leave.
Gu Nianchen and Shen Yu drove Bai Luoyu and Ye Miao respectively, and when they arrived at Wansheng, they went straight to the room that Li Kuo mentioned.
This room is one of the most luxurious ones in Wansheng. It has the most complete decoration and facilities, including restaurant, leisure and entertainment, and KTV.
"I'll ask the manager to arrange the best dishes. You can decide what kind of wine you want to drink." Li Kuo stood up to greet the four people when they arrived.
"I don't care, I can drink anything." Chen Yu sat on the sofa and Ye Miao followed him.
"You decide. The guest should follow the host's wishes." Gu Nianchen said.
"Okay, I'll go choose and then notify them to serve the dishes. You guys take a seat first." Li Kuo said and left the room.
"Why isn't Zheng Xin here?" Ye Miao looked around but didn't see Zheng Xin. Worried, he took out his cell phone and wanted to call him.
"You're here. I'm going to the bathroom." Before Ye Miao could make a call, Zheng Xin came out.
Zheng Xin walked straight to Ye Miao's side. Zheng Xin had changed into a new shirt. Although the buttons were buttoned to the top, Ye Miao could still see the marks on Zheng Xin's neck.
He frowned and pulled Zheng Xin: "Where is the bathroom? Take me there."
Zheng Xin was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay, let's go."
Ye Miao followed Zheng Xin into the bathroom and closed the door casually.
Zheng Xin leaned on the sink, folded his arms, lowered his head, and said nothing.
"What's going on between you and Li Kuo? Did you know each other before?" Ye Miao and Zheng Xin have been good friends for so many years, but Ye Miao only thought so. Zheng Xin's changes in the past few days were so sudden that Zheng Xin had no time to react.
Although Zheng Xin might think he was meddling in other people's business, he still had to say that he couldn't just watch Zheng Xin go astray without giving her a hand.
"I don't know him." Zheng Xin took a deep breath and said.
"Then what's wrong with you? Do you really think that you can get close to a rich young master just by appearing on a variety show?"
"I'm not that naive. We each get what we need."
"Everyone gets what they need? What do you want to get from him? Can't we rely on our own efforts?" Ye Miao felt that Zheng Xin in front of him was too unfamiliar.
Zheng Xin has always given him the impression of being a good boy, with good academic performance, good gaming skills, a love for research, and a mild temper.
But today, it seems that Zheng Xin is the most ambitious and the most secretive.
"Work hard on your own? You and I played games for how many years before you joined the club. You've been in the club for such a long time and have never played once. Why? Isn't it because we have no fans and no money? What's so good about Wang Xu? I helped him win the King of Glory. Isn't it because he has a lot of fans and traffic? What's the point of our hard training?" Zheng Xin's emotions were also a little broken, and he shouted loudly.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to work hard, but he finds that hard work is only useful when taking exams in school.
"But, we have a show here, won't it be fine slowly?" Ye Miao was a little confused by Zheng Xin's sudden outburst of emotions. He didn't think too much about it. It sounded like what Zheng Xin said was right, but he felt that his method was wrong.
"I can't wait any longer. I didn't get into this university because I wanted to play professionally. If this path doesn't work out, what will I do in the future? My dad spent all the family's money after his surgery last year. My mom is the only one who supports him. She also fell ill last month. Can I afford to wait?" Zheng Xin said with tears sliding down her eyes. Ye Miao felt distressed when he saw it.
"Zheng Xin, why didn't you tell me?" Ye Miao rushed over and hugged Zheng Xin, crying even harder than Zheng Xin.
"What's the point of me telling you this? What else can I do except ask you to cry with me? Don't worry about it. I can only rely on Li Kuo to turn things around. As long as this show becomes popular, we will have the opportunity to play in the game, and the club will also arrange the live broadcast time." This was a gamble for Zheng Xin. If he won, he would have a bright future and be able to solve the financial problems for his family. As for losing, he didn't dare to think about it.
If it was before today, he thought that losing was losing, but after knowing Gu Nianchen's identity, he suddenly felt that the outcome of losing might be something he could not bear.
"You... no matter whether I can help or not, I can't let you do this. Stop it, there's still time. Li Kuo is so powerful that you'll be the only one who'll be in trouble if something happens to him." Ye Miao knew from Zheng Xin's serious expression that today's incident might be far more serious than he thought.
"It's too late. Even if I want to, Li Kuo won't agree. I have no choice." Zheng Xin turned to look at the mirror in front of the sink and tugged at his collar.
Gu Nianchen and the other two were sitting and chatting, only to see Ye Miao and Zheng Xin take a long time to come back, their eyes were still slightly red.
