Chapter 367 Providing Timely Help
Lu Yi looked at the newcomer with surprise, his astonishment almost palpable. "Wu Cheng? What brings you here?"
Wu Cheng smiled faintly, "What else could I possibly want from you now? Just think about it and you'll know."
Lu Yi remained silent, then turned and waved at him, "Alright, what are you doing standing outside? Come in!"
Wu Cheng gave a bitter smile. At this point, everyone was avoiding him like the plague, as if they were afraid he would ask them for money.
Previously, when he went back to his mother's home with her, his aunt always seemed very unwilling, showing none of the previous tenderness and flattery she had shown him.
Including his former friends, they have all unilaterally cut off contact with him.
These were all within his expectations, but the one thing he hadn't anticipated was that Lu Yi would treat him this way.
Despite having done many despicable things in the past, Lu Yi had maintained the same attitude towards him from beginning to end.
Although he's still not this polite as always, that's something that started before and hasn't changed at all because of his downfall.
And now they're even inviting me into their home, really...
It's somewhat ironic...
Wu Cheng, unusually, did not go against Lu Yi's wishes, but obediently followed behind him and entered the Lu family's gate.
When he and Lu Yi went in, everyone was taken aback.
Lu Ting looked at Wu Cheng, composed himself, and said, "Isn't this Wu Cheng? You're here to play today?"
Wu Cheng nodded, "Yes, it's been a long time since I visited you. I came to see you, and your parents still look so energetic."
Yan Xiu'er smiled gently, "Xiao Wu, you speak so sweetly! Come and sit down! Have you eaten yet? If not, Auntie will have the kitchen make you something."
Wu Cheng declined, "No need, thank you Aunt Yan. I've already eaten. I mainly came today to talk to Lu Yi."
Yan Xiuer nodded, then picked up the child and stood up. "Alright, we won't disturb you any longer. You can chat here."
Ye Ran and Lu Ting also stood up, leaving space for Lu Yi and Wu Cheng.
After everyone left, Lu Yi sat down on the stool and looked directly at Wu Cheng. "Alright, now that no one's around, just say what you need to say."
Wu Cheng laughed. "You should know what's going on with me. To be precise, most people in Beijing know. Don't you want to ask me what's really going on?"
Lu Yi looked at him speechlessly, "Do you think I'm that kind of boring person? But you, how did you get into this state after only one day?"
I did hear a lot of rumors, but they've all been distorted in the stories, so I didn't pay much attention to them.
But now that you mention it, those rumors are actually true?
Wu Cheng sighed and sat down opposite Lu Yi. "It's half true, half false!"
Lu Yi was genuinely shocked. "Half true, half false?! I thought it was at most three-tenths true! What's going on?!"
Why did things suddenly escalate so much? Your parents…
Wu Cheng smiled indifferently, "It's just because of that one thing! I lost a lot of money, my dad was furious, and he had a huge fight with my mom. In the end, that's how it is!"
Lu Yi's expression changed completely. "Just because of this? No way? Who can go through life without failing a few times?"
Was it really necessary to make such a big fuss? This is... too much...
Wu Cheng held his cheek and said calmly, "It's not entirely because of that. All the conflicts didn't arise overnight."
