Gu Huainan and others waited at the entrance of Lu Yi's residential compound. When they saw him get out of the car, they immediately went to greet him.
"So that's why you were driving so fast, you had a private car..."
Seeing Liang Shiyue smilingly pointing at the driver and mouthing "my mom," Gu Huainan quickly stopped talking.
She waved awkwardly, "Hello, Auntie!"
"Hello, I'll take Xiaoyue back now. You can get together again sometime."
Liang Shiyue's mother didn't know Gu Huainan, but she saw her daughter winking at each other in the rearview mirror and guessed that they were friends.
"Okay, Auntie, my name is Gu Huainan. Lu Yi and I are best friends and business partners. When our store opens, Auntie and Xiaoyue will come to support us!"
Gu Huainan liked female elders the most.
Especially ordinary people like Liang Shiyue's mother, who look kind and approachable.
She has no mercenary air about her, and unlike wealthy ladies like Lin Yuan and Qin Fengying, she doesn't look at people with prejudice. She's very easy to get along with.
...
After watching Liang Shiyue and her daughter leave, Lu Yi pointed to the high stool next to the convenience store and went into the store to buy two bottles of water.
"How were the negotiations conducted? How much compensation were offered?"
"Pay me money? Pay my ass! Look... look at the damage he did to me! If my older brother hadn't spoken up with Miss Lu, I would have wanted the Lu family to compensate me!"
"That bastard Lu Han better not let me catch him doing anything wrong, or I'll send him to jail too!"
"By the way, has Lao Ma contacted you? Has that old guy confessed yet?"
Gu Huainan unscrewed the bottle cap, took two sips, and pointed to a long bloodstain on his neck, complaining.
"Summon? You think this is ancient times?!"
"Old Ma said he's not fully sober yet, so even if we interrogate him, his confession won't count. Let's just wait and see, he's not getting out of here anyway!"
Lu Yi's eyes were as sharp as ice blades, cold yet revealing a resolute strength.
Gu Huainan shuddered and couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.
"He's already inside, so it's time to talk, isn't it? What deep-seated grudge do you have against him, and how do you know he'll definitely stay at the Fanghai Hotel?"
Previously, he only admired Lu Yi's courage to take risks and make bold moves.
Now, however, she feels as if there is a frosted glass between her and Lu Yi. She can see his outline, but she can't see the mystery surrounding him.
"The hatred for the murderer of my father!"
Lu Yi's slender fingers gripped the plastic bottle, making a squeaking sound.
"Father-killing... Heh, you're quite composed!"
Gu Huainan thought he was joking. What era is this? It's so much better to fall in love than to fight each other.
"He was just an accomplice; the mastermind was someone else."
Lu Yi tilted his head slightly and looked at his face seriously. "Huainan, you live in a privileged environment, so it's normal that you haven't seen this before, but it's a fact."
Gu Huainan felt uneasy under his gaze.
He put down the water that was being brought to his lips, blinked, and nodded. "Oh, so what can I do to help you?"
Lu Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Focus on your love life and don't let Senior Lin down!"
"In addition, once you've built up the cinema business and opened branches in cities outside of Jiangzhou, I might consider giving you 10% of the profits personally."
Seeing that he seemed to be in a somewhat heavy mood, Gu Huainan stopped making jokes.
“Lu Yi, I don’t care what grudges you have with the Lu family, or what your relationship is with the Fan family. I just want you to know that you are my good brother, Gu Huainan!”
"Your business is my business, Gu Huainan's business. In Jiangzhou, I wouldn't dare say that you, Lu Yi, can walk around with your head held high..."
"But if anyone harms you, then they are making an enemy of the Gu family!"
After he finished speaking, he jumped off the high stool.
He patted Lu Yi on the shoulder and said, "You'd better have a grudge against the Lu family, otherwise I'd be too embarrassed to make a move on Lu Han!"
Lu Yi slowly raised his head, his eyes seemingly concealing a ruthless and restrained aura. "Go ahead and do it. Don't hold back!"
Hey! You're getting cocky just because I called you fat! Let's go!
Gu Huainan put one hand in his pocket, threw the empty bottle into the trash can, and walked towards his car.
"Come out, stop sneaking around!"
Hearing the engine sound fade into the distance, Lu Yi got up, entered the residential area, and called out to someone not far away.
"Third brother, Gu Huainan is really a good guy. He's much more approachable than that icy older brother of his. You've made a good friend of his!"
Du Guanglong walked over slowly, a toothpick dangling from his mouth.
“It’s his business if he’s wrong, I can’t put all my grudges on him.”
"The matter of that imposter from the Lu family..."
"That's their dispute. My grudge is mine, and his grudge is his. We won't let either of them interfere with each other."
"Hiss~~ That imposter has messed with both of you. He's in for a world of trouble."
"Come upstairs and sit for a while. My dad used to have some good wine in his collection, but I don't drink it myself. You can take it back and treat the brothers!"
Lu Yi and Du Guanglong entered the building one after the other.
Lu Yi walked ahead, and when they were almost at the floor, he took out his key from his pocket.
Just as I turned the corner at the stairwell, a figure suddenly flashed before my eyes, and I was hit hard in the chest, causing me to lean backward.
Holy crap!
"Damn it, who's so blind!"
Du Guanglong cursed, stretched out his arms to catch Lu Yi, and leaned against the wall, his back slamming against it.
Seeing Lu Yi clutching his chest, he didn't dare let go immediately. "Third brother, are you alright?"
"I'm fine..."
Before Lu Yi could finish speaking, hurried footsteps came from upstairs.
"Third Miss, don't run around! Didn't we say we were waiting for the young master to come back... Slow down, wait for me..."
Aunt Wu?
Lu Yi looked at the old woman who was staggering down the stairs in surprise.
