Wang Boyang drove through the night, speeding all the way, and finally arrived at Li Peiyu's building at six o'clock in the morning.
After parking the car, Wang Boyang wearily turned to look at Gu Yan, who was asleep in the back seat, sighed deeply, and then took out his phone to call Li Peiyu.
“Peiyu, I’m in your neighborhood. Gu Yan is here too. He knows about you and Lu Yuzhi. He’s drunk and in a really bad state. Come down and check on him.” Wang Boyang’s voice was urgent.
"How did he know?" Li Peiyu asked, sounding somewhat surprised.
"I don't know either," Wang Boyang replied helplessly.
"It's good that he knows. I have nothing to say." Li Peiyu's voice sounded indifferent.
"You have nothing to say? You've turned him into this state, don't you have anything to say?" Wang Boyang couldn't help but raise his voice, his tone full of anger and dissatisfaction.
Li Peiyu was silent for a moment before finally saying, "Okay, I'll go down."
Wang Boyang hung up the phone and gently nudged Gu Yan, "We've arrived. Li Peiyu will be out soon."
Gu Yan sat up abruptly, his eyes revealing complex emotions. He was eager to see her, yet afraid of the situation that was about to unfold.
"Gu Yan, follow your heart. If you want to keep him, then keep him. Don't do anything you'll regret," Wang Boyang said earnestly.
"Try to keep her? Absolutely not. I'm here to curse her to death," Gu Yan said through gritted teeth.
"Fine, she's here. Get out of the car and give her a good scolding," Wang Boyang said helplessly.
Gu Yan saw Li Peiyu walking closer and closer, so he opened the car door and waited for her to approach with a serious expression.
Li Peiyu looked up and saw that Gu Yan's eyes were red. She lowered her head in shame and dared not take another step forward.
Seeing her stop, Gu Yan strode over. Seeing her red and swollen eyes, his previously hardened heart softened instantly.
Gu Yan asked, his voice trembling slightly, "You cried?"
"I'm the one who should be crying, why are you crying?" Gu Yanqiang pretended to be indifferent.
"I broke up with Lu Yuzhi. I'm heartbroken." Li Peiyu's voice was trembling with tears.
"You cried because of Lu Yuzhi? He dumped you for the second time, what are you crying for? You asked for it." Gu Yan raised his voice, trying to hide his inner pain.
"Mmm," Li Peiyu replied softly.
"Why did you betray me?" Gu Yan controlled his emotions, his eyes fixed on Li Peiyu.
“I was never with you, so it doesn’t count as betrayal.” Li Peiyu didn’t dare to look Gu Yan in the eye.
"You pursued me for two or three years, and then suddenly you hooked up with my dad. Isn't that betrayal?"
Li Peiyu lowered his head and remained silent.
"Why did you betray me? Because I kept rejecting you, so you deliberately seduced my father to get revenge on me?" Gu Yan's voice was low and pained.
"Right?"
"Now that you've succeeded in getting revenge, does it feel good?" Gu Yan asked, his eyes filled with tears and his voice hoarse.
“Awesome,” Li Peiyu raised her head and answered stubbornly.
"So what if you're crying?"
"Do you still love me, Li Peiyu?" Gu Yan could no longer hold back his tears.
"I don't love it."
"So you've fallen in love with him?" Gu Yan's voice carried a hint of despair.
"Mm." Li Peiyu nodded.
"Does he love you too? Will he marry you?" Gu Yan threw down those two harsh words, then turned and went back to his car without looking at Li Peiyu again.
"Gu Yan, I'm sorry," Li Peiyu shouted.
Gu Yan didn't turn around, but walked firmly into the car, as if he wanted to leave everything behind.
Wang Boyang got out of the car and walked to Li Peiyu's side. He was about to speak but then hesitated, "You..."
"I'm terrible." Li Peiyu lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
"No," Wang Boyang quickly denied.
"I think I've messed everything up and made a mess of my life." Li Peiyu looked up at the sky, her expression dejected.
“It’s not wrong for you to like Lu Yuzhi. If you feel confused, sort out your thoughts and figure everything out. Blaming yourself and feeling regretful won’t help. Think about the future.” Wang Boyang said earnestly, his eyes filled with encouragement and comfort.
Li Peiyu fell into deep thought. She had transmigrated into the book and was initially smug, thinking that by hooking up with Lu Yuzhi, everything would be within her grasp.
She lived life with a playful attitude, acting recklessly and without regard for anything. She thought she could control and manipulate everything, but instead, she ended up in this pathetic state.
If she had taken things seriously from the beginning, if she had lived life earnestly, would things have been different? But if she had taken things seriously, she wouldn't have met Lu Yuzhi that night, and their paths would never have crossed. Li Peiyu felt a pang of reluctance, but she was also grateful that her carefree attitude had allowed her to spend time with Lu Yuzhi. Those precious moments with him were etched in her heart, unforgettable.
She was certain that she had truly fallen in love with him, and that it wasn't just a physical desire.
"When things are chaotic, organize your thoughts and clarify everything."
Wang Boyang's words kept echoing in her ears.
Li Peiyu's eyes gradually hardened; she was going to wipe away her tears and start taking life seriously.
Wang Boyang started the engine, and the car slowly drove out of the residential area. Just then, a black luxury car came into view. Gu Yan glanced at it casually and immediately recognized it as his father's car, his eyes instantly turning sharp.
"Turn around," Gu Yan said in a low but firm voice.
After Lu Yuzhi parked the car, he was about to take out his phone to call Li Peiyu when his gaze inadvertently swept over and saw a girl standing blankly not far away. The figure looked like Li Peiyu.
Lu Yuzhi's heart tightened, and his pace quickened involuntarily. The closer he got, the more certain he became that it was indeed her. Lu Yuzhi instantly quickened his pace again, as swift as a gust of wind, and pulled her tightly into his arms, kissing her without hesitation. The force was as if he wanted to mash her into his body and never let her go again.
Li Peiyu was startled at first, then struggled desperately, but she couldn't overcome Lu Yuzhi's brute force. She could only helplessly close her eyes and let him kiss her as he pleased.
"You are not allowed to leave me." Lu Yuzhi's voice carried a hint of urgency and domineering.
"Let's part ways amicably," Li Peiyu said with difficulty.
“We can’t break up. You still owe me 75 million.” Lu Yuzhi said through gritted teeth.
“I can return it to you,” Li Peiyu replied stubbornly.
"How do you want to pay me back? By livestreaming or by selling yourself?" Lu Yuzhi asked angrily.
"You, it's none of your business." Li Peiyu turned her face away, not wanting to look at him.
"It's none of my business? You're my woman, and I can't control that?"
"I'm not your woman, just a servant."
"I was just teasing you, did you really take that seriously?" Lu Yuzhi said, forcefully turning Li Peiyu's chin so she would look at him directly. "Look at me. You think I paid 80 million because I wanted to find a sex worker? Hmm?"
"Okay, forget I wasn't clear before. I'll tell you clearly now. Let's be together, seriously." Lu Yuzhi's arms were tightly wrapped around Li Peiyu, his eyes full of expectation.
"Aren't you going to mention money anymore?" Li Peiyu asked.
"I won't mention it," Lu Yuzhi replied decisively.
