Chapter 301 Breakup
In his panic, Lu Ziyi couldn't care less about anything else and could only seek An Li's help.
When they returned to the seaside apartment, they found it completely empty, with all the belongings gone.
Seeing this, Lu Ziyi looked surprised and quickly and discreetly took a taxi to the An family villa.
The driver noticed that he was disheveled and looked like he had been badly beaten. He glanced at him hesitantly in the rearview mirror several times.
Noticing his gaze, Lu Ziyi frowned and coldly rebuked, "What are you looking at! Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!"
The dignified gentleman he used to pretend to be is completely gone; he's now just like a thug.
Upon seeing this, the driver quickly looked away, keeping his eyes fixed on the road ahead, and dared not utter another word.
After all, it's best to avoid provoking such people if possible. If you get into trouble with one, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky!
After dropping him off at the villa area, Lu Ziyi had only a few hundred-yuan bills left in his pocket. He casually pulled them out and threw them in the car before turning around and getting out.
When the security guard at the An family saw Lu Ziyi, who was dressed in rags, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he immediately stopped him at the door.
Lu Ziyi's eyes darkened slightly, and he questioned sharply, "Do you know who I am and you dare to stop me? Believe me, your young lady will kick you out the door if she finds out!"
His words were full of threats, after all, he was unaware of the current situation and was still stuck in the days when An Li was in charge of the An family and he could take advantage of her power.
Seeing his rude remarks, the gatekeeper's expression changed drastically, and he sneered disdainfully, "You're just a poor beggar, who do you think you are?"
These past few days, news has been everywhere, and apart from the fact that Lu Ziyi is locked up there and has no access to information, everyone has already seen through his true character.
Moreover, in her fury, Anli specifically instructed that if she saw him, she should not show any mercy and should directly drive him out!
Having received the order, and recalling Lu Ziyi's previous disdain for them, they naturally sought revenge for any wrongs they had done.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyi's face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted sharply, "What did you say?!"
"You just wait, when I see An Li, I'll make you pay!"
His words were full of threats, and the gatekeeper couldn't help but scoff: "Fine, I'll wait and see how you treat me."
While the two were arguing, someone had already informed Anli in advance.
An Li was furious. She had originally wanted to avoid Lu Ziyi, but now that he had disappeared for several days and suddenly showed up at her door, as if he was deliberately courting trouble, she couldn't blame him.
A cold glint flashed in An Li's eyes as she got up and walked towards the door.
Upon closer inspection, one is greeted by a disheveled Lu Ziyi, who keeps spouting harsh words, a stark contrast to his former self.
Lu Ziyi saw An Li walking towards him from afar, and his eyes lit up. As she got closer, he quickly called out, "Lili!"
Then, lowering her gaze slightly, she pointed at the gatekeeper and complained, "He actually stopped me from entering! And he was rude to me!"
An Li listened, her eyes filled with coldness, staring at him with a slight smirk, before retorting, "So what?"
“He…” Lu Ziyi was about to continue his accusations when he suddenly realized the meaning behind An Li’s words. His expression froze, and he asked in surprise, “Lili… what do you mean by that?”
An Li's face showed a sneer, and she sneered, "Why should I punish my family's servants for your sake? Who do you think you are?"
Seeing the coldness in her voice, Lu Ziyi realized the seriousness of the situation. His face showed shock, and he quickly asked, "Lily... I only disappeared for a few days, why are you suddenly acting like this? Did I do something wrong? If it's my fault, tell me and I'll change it immediately!"
In front of An Li, Lu Ziyi was completely devoid of his previous arrogance, appearing humble and submissive, even disdainful of the gatekeeper.
No wonder everyone says that entertainment headlines are reporting on him as a "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success), someone who only thinks about relying on women, which is disgusting.
"How could you have a problem?" An Li sneered, her face full of sarcasm. "It's my fault. I misjudged people and failed to see through the true nature beneath your hypocritical face!"
“Lily…” Lu Ziyi frowned slightly, his face full of doubt, not understanding why her attitude had suddenly become so bad.
When An Li heard his voice, she felt a chill run down her spine. Her eyes narrowed, and she decided not to waste any more time talking to him.
He waved to the person next to him, who immediately understood, opened the news app, and handed the phone to Lu Ziyi.
Lu Ziyi looked puzzled, reached out and took it, his eyes sweeping over it before being instantly drawn to the headline.
They quickly scrolled down the page, finding even pictures as evidence, completely exposing their privacy.
Seeing this, Lu Ziyi quickly explained, "This is a malicious frame-up! Lily, you have to believe me!"
"How could I do anything to betray you? Heaven is my witness, I love you!"
Lu Ziyi didn't care about saving face at this point; he just anxiously explained, fearing that An Li would believe him and there would be no room for maneuver.
After all, he had nothing left, and the only person he could rely on was An Li. If even she abandoned him, then he would truly have no chance of recovery. Seeing that he still refused to admit it, a cold sneer flashed across An Li's face, and she sneered, "The evidence is right in front of you, and you still want to deny it?"
"How come I never knew you were this kind of person before? How dare you juggle multiple relationships at the same time?"
An Li questioned him sharply, and Lu Ziyi's face showed a hint of panic as he tried to explain, but with such conclusive evidence, he didn't know where to begin.
His relationship with the people in the photos was indeed ambiguous, but there was no substantial progress. That period coincided with his breakup with Jiang Ran, and in order to guard against any outside interference, he deliberately hooked up with some wealthy young men.
But ever since he got together with Anli, he has cut off contact with them. Those people are not on the same level as Anli. How could he make such a low-level mistake?
I originally thought these were just old stories, but I don't know who dug them up at this time.
Anli is extremely intolerant of any imperfections; how could she possibly allow such a thing to happen?
Seeing Lu Ziyi lower his eyes and remain silent, An Li suddenly sneered. She then took out a wad of cash and threw it in front of him. With a mocking expression, she said coldly, "I suppose you've already gone back to the apartment. I've disposed of and thrown away everything related to you, because just looking at it makes me feel unlucky!"
"Consider this money as money for your junk. Get out of here now, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
Before Lu Ziyi could continue to defend himself, An Li's eyes turned cold, and she turned and left.
Lu Ziyi hurriedly shouted loudly from behind, and the gatekeeper stepped forward and stopped him, saying, "Shut up!"
Then, he shoved him, and Lu Ziyi, who was covered in injuries, suddenly felt a sharp pain.
The gatekeeper's face was cold and showed no pity. He shouted sternly, "Didn't you hear what the young lady said? Take the money and get out!"
Lu Ziyi's expression suddenly turned cold, and he glared at the gatekeeper: "You!"
The gatekeeper glanced at him coldly, and Lu Ziyi suddenly realized that his current situation was not suitable for a direct confrontation. His eyes darkened, and he had no choice but to swallow his anger for the time being.
Looking down at the cash on the ground, Lu Ziyi's eyes flickered slightly. His pride prevented him from bowing his head and bending over, but right now he was penniless and struggling to even feed himself, so how could he care about his pride?
After a slight hesitation, he squatted down and picked up the cash from the ground.
The gatekeeper watched his actions, a look of disdain flashing across his face, before letting out a cold laugh.
Ignoring his sarcasm, Lu Ziyi, his face dark, silently picked up the money and turned to leave.
His silhouette hinted at a sense of desolation.
Anli stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the room, looking down at his departing figure, her face full of coldness, and the two of them broke up from that moment on.
On the other side, after leaving, Lu Ziyi had nowhere to go. In desperation, a figure suddenly flashed through his mind.
Her eyes suddenly lit up. She first bought some clothes and found a hotel, enduring the pain to take care of herself, but the bruises on her face were impossible to cover up.
Then I took a taxi to an apartment building. Looking at the familiar scene before me, a feeling of nostalgia welled up in my heart.
His eyes flickered slightly. Just then, he saw Song Yuqing coming downstairs. He was about to go forward when he noticed that there was a man with her.
The man appeared to be in his forties, dressed in a bespoke suit, and his wristwatch was a limited edition Vacheron Constantin.
