Jiao Yuyin ate slowly and listened quietly, looking relaxed.
After the meal, Jiao Yuyin unlocked his phone and displayed the brightly lit news screen in front of Lu Yu.
News headline: "Jiao family's third son meets with a mysterious woman at night, enters hotel together and doesn't leave overnight."
Lu Yu pondered the words "mysterious woman," feeling a mix of emotions. While others also made the news, some didn't even deserve a name.
Jiao Yuyin's voice came through: "Are you ready? Once you leave this hotel today, you can't back out."
Lu Yu stretched out the hem of her black t-shirt. "From the moment I put my pen on the paper and signed it yesterday, there was no going back. Neither could you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yu felt nauseous and rushed to the bathroom, covering her mouth.
Jiao Yuyin was clearly startled by the scene. He followed Lu Yu to the bathroom, but stopped at the door, grabbed a bottle of mineral water, and waited at the bathroom door.
"It's just a meal, don't scare me."
"My mild eating disorder, caused by long-term insomnia, has improved a lot recently. I guess it's because I ate a lot today due to increased training volume," Lu Yu said somewhat embarrassedly.
"What physique?"
"Not physically fit enough for a starting position."
Jiao Yuyin immediately shut his mouth, silently unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, and handed it to Lu Yu.
Cameras and microphones were already set up at the hotel entrance. The stage was erected, and the actors leisurely took the stage.
Mr. Jiao, there are rumors that Yu Hwa Group will elect a new receiver this year. Is this true?
Mr. Jiao, you were having a late-night rendezvous with the woman next to you. What is your relationship?
- Mr. Jiao, is she your official girlfriend?
Mr. Jiao, please respond.
Lu Yu followed beside Jiao Yuyin, listening to the cacophony of voices.
Who is that woman? She's covered up so much, you can't even see her face.
These two didn't come out until midday. We waited all morning, but thankfully we finally caught up with someone; at least we have something to report.
[Look at that woman, dressed so loosely and casually, she has absolutely no air of elegance. And she calls herself the third young master of the Jiao family? What kind of taste does she have?]
Lu Yu's expression was indifferent, and he was cursing inwardly that these people were blind to the greatness of Mount Tai.
Suddenly, her shoulders were enveloped, the man's chest was warm, the scent of patchouli was stronger, and his magnetic voice swept past her ear.
"A question you already know the answer to."
All the reporters got was this one sentence.
Hotel security pushed aside the surging reporters, and Jiao Yuyin helped Lu Yu into the Lotus Elletre. Once inside, Lu Yu asked, "Why did you deliberately attract reporters? Why haven't you given a clear answer yet?"
"An ambiguous response is the best response; otherwise, it seems too fake."
Lu Yu was thoroughly fed up with all this charade and stopped thinking about it. He figured he'd just do whatever the boss said and play along.
"Boss, what's the plan after this?"
"I'll go to the hospital this afternoon for a check-up, and then we'll go back to your place tonight to pack your things. You can move to my villa tomorrow."
Lu Yu thought for a few seconds and then summarized: "First, the hotel rendezvous revealed their relationship, then they added fuel to the fire and sparked speculation, and finally, confirming their cohabitation was a natural progression. Third Young Master, what a great arrangement! You three are truly ingenious!"
Jiao Yuyin sighed helplessly: "You're spouting rhymes all the time; anyone who didn't know better would think you were preparing for graduate school."
Lu Yu thought going to the hospital was just a formality, but she didn't expect to actually get a full physical examination.
Based on the individual's examination results, the professional doctor customized a physical training plan and diet plan for each item, which was quite expensive, and Lu Yu secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.
Lu Yu didn't want to waste other people's money, so he spoke up: "Third Young Master, you don't have to spend money like this. It's like I'm treating you like an ATM."
Jiao Yuyin didn't answer but instead asked, "Haven't you done a professional human composition analysis?"
“The team has conducted a unified check of the basic indicators, but we’ve never done anything this professional before,” Lu Yu replied calmly.
"You're a star athlete, after all. With your salary, prize money, and endorsements, why don't you save some money? Besides, you have abilities that others don't have. Why don't you use your special abilities to accumulate some capital?"
Lu Yu sensed a hint of disappointment or frustration in the other person's disdainful words.
She explained, "The economic environment for women's basketball isn't as good as that for men's basketball. The money I earn from playing basketball is limited. Building the basketball court and renovating the Ivy League campus already cost me a lot. As for using mind-reading to make money, I wouldn't even dare to think about it... I used mind-reading to take a shortcut in basketball, and the corresponding side effects have slowly come back to haunt me. This world is a cycle of cause and effect, fortune and misfortune are intertwined, and one shouldn't be greedy. That's what my grandfather taught me. Whether you believe it or not, I have never used mind-reading to obtain any ill-gotten gains, not even a single penny."
Lu Yu didn't know why she would talk to this person like this. Having grown up listening to people's stories, she had long since become disdainful of gaining the trust or affirmation of others…
After leaving the hospital, Lu Yu checked the number of paparazzi taking photos nearby. "There are three paparazzi. Did you hire them?"
"Do I need to search? All that's needed for an incendiary bomb is to light the fuse. Let's wait and see what happens next."
Jiao Yuyin is really starting to resemble a tycoon more and more.
Well, he was already a wealthy tycoon.
