Guo Jiahe was incredibly intelligent; she had already guessed everything correctly.
With a hint of curiosity and slyness, she asked, "So, it looks like you two had a fight?"
Li Peiyu nodded somewhat helplessly and replied softly, "Yes. We've already broken up."
"Why?"
"Because of Gu Yan, Lu Yuzhi didn't want to embarrass him."
"Oh, you've even called Lu Yuzhi." Guo Jiahe's eyes lit up, and she said with great interest, "I think Uncle Lu clearly still has feelings for you. Peiyu, go and seduce him again, and I guarantee he'll surrender immediately."
Li Peiyu refused without hesitation: "No."
However, Guo Jiahe was not about to give up so easily. After all, Uncle Lu had saved her life; he was her savior. She secretly vowed to repay his kindness and, no matter what, she would find a way to get the woman Uncle Lu was so fond of into his bed.
Only in this way can we repay Uncle Lu's kindness.
Guo Jiahe hurriedly waved down a taxi, then forcefully shoved Li Peiyu into it without saying a word, while saying to the driver, "Driver, please go to Qingyun Villa District, please hurry."
Li Peiyu struggled to get out of the car, shouting, "I'm not going, he must be asleep in the middle of the night."
Guo Jiahe, however, said dismissively, "He's probably so worried about you that he can't sleep. He's probably horny in his room, just waiting for you to rescue him." With that, he pushed Li Peiyu back.
Then, Guo Jiahe added a stern warning: "Don't go back to the apartment. Even if you do, I will absolutely not open the door for you."
In the quiet, dim night, the surrounding trees swayed gently in the breeze, making a soft rustling sound. Li Peiyu stood alone at the door of Lu Yuzhi's house, her heart filled with conflicting emotions, and she couldn't bring herself to ring the doorbell.
She was particularly afraid of disturbing Aunt Li and Lu Yu's sleep, since knocking on the door in the middle of the night was really impolite.
But she didn't have her ID card and couldn't go to the hotel, so she simply waited until dawn.
Time passed slowly, and it wasn't until five in the morning that the eastern sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, and everything around her gradually became clearer. She finally saw the light come on in Aunt Li's room.
Not long after, Aunt Li came into the yard to start her morning exercise. The flowers and plants in the yard were still covered with glistening dewdrops, which sparkled in the morning light.
As if seeing a savior, Li Peiyu hurriedly called out softly, "Aunt Li, Aunt Li."
Hearing the sound, Aunt Li stopped her Eight Pieces of Brocade exercises and slowly walked towards the door. When she saw that it was Li Peiyu, she said in surprise, "Girl, why are you here at this time? Come in, come in quickly."
"The master is still sleeping upstairs. You should go find him now," Aunt Li said softly.
Li Peiyu quickly waved his hand and said, "No, I'll go see him after he wakes up."
"Young lady, come inside quickly and have some hot water to warm yourself up," Aunt Li warmly invited.
"I can do it myself, Aunt Li, you can do your thing. I'll just drink my water and take a nap on the sofa," Li Peiyu said somewhat reservedly.
"Why don't you go inside and sleep, young lady? Your husband misses you terribly," Aunt Li said with a smile.
"Huh?" Li Peiyu exclaimed in surprise.
"Although he didn't say it, I just knew it. I've been here for so long, how could I not see what he was thinking?" Aunt Li explained with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Peiyu felt a little embarrassed, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
In the morning, the sunlight streamed in through the window.
Lu Yuzhi slowly walked down the stairs, preparing to have breakfast. When his gaze inadvertently swept across the sofa, he was surprised to see Li Peiyu sleeping quietly on the sofa.
He couldn't help but open his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating.
Lu Yuzhi acted as if he didn't see Li Peiyu, walking straight past her and heading towards the restaurant.
Li Peiyu was awakened by the slight noise. She quickly got up, walked to the dining room, and sat down opposite Lu Yuzhi.
However, Lu Yuzhi only glanced at her briefly before lowering his head to drink his porridge again, his face showing no extra expression.
Li Peiyu was somewhat hurt; he didn't want to pay any attention to her at all—it was like offering a warm face only to be met with a cold shoulder.
Lu Yuzhi quickly finished his breakfast and then got up to leave.
Seeing this, Li Peiyu hurriedly said, "I will pay you back that money."
Lu Yuzhi was stunned when he heard Li Peiyu's words. He slowly turned his head and looked at the "illusion" in front of him with disbelief. He wondered to himself, "Is an illusion that can talk?"
Li Peiyu said earnestly again, "Thank you for helping me last night. I will definitely pay you back."
Lu Yu's thick eyelashes trembled slightly. Suppressing the pounding in his heart, he asked calmly, "How do you want it back?"
Li Peiyu's eyes were firm, and she said sincerely, "I... I have ways to make money. Trust me." In her heart, she thought that she could invest in Jiang Shuchen. As long as he could develop and become a top star, a mere 80 million would be nothing to her.
Lu Yuzhi's lips curled into a mocking smile, his eyes filled with resentment, and he said coldly, "Pay back the money now! I see you're quite wealthy; you were even keeping a gigolo yesterday."
"Huh?" Li Peiyu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. She was going to invest that little bit of money in Jiang Shuchen, so how could she take it out to pay it back now?
While she was still in a daze, Lu Yuzhi said expressionlessly and in an icy voice, "Phone." Then he reached out his hand.
