Chapter 837: Gu Yang’s Gossip
Editor: Henyee Translations
After Gu Yang agreed to meet Yan Xi, she went online to find out more about her recent activities.
Yan Xi had been quite popular lately and was doing well in the girl group’s live broadcast talent show.
Moreover, Tiansheng Media appeared to be supporting her, with various articles praising her.
On the surface, she seemed bright and beautiful. Even if she didn’t debut in the top spot, she was at least set to debut and had a promising future.
However, who knew what troubles lay beneath this glamorous exterior?
Gu Yang opened WeChat and went to her chat with Fu Mingxiu.
Ever since she revealed her connection to the little blood bank to Fu Mingxiu, they hadn’t been in contact.
Gu Yang asked him: [Brother Xiu, did you give my contact number to Yan Xi?]
It took a while for Fu Mingxiu to reply.
Fu Mingxiu: [Yangyang, did she bother you?]
Fu Mingxiu: [Yes, it was me. I’m sorry. I gave her your contact number without asking you.]
Fu Mingxiu: [At that time, she said she just wanted to apologize to you. She seemed pitiful, so I agreed.]
Fu Mingxiu: [I also warned her not to disturb you after apologizing. Did she say something nasty? I’ll help you deal with her if she did.]
Fu Mingxiu regretted it afterward. He worried that Yan Xi might take out her anger on Gu Yang, using her to vent her dissatisfaction.
Gu Yang had no intention of interrogating her. He just wanted to confirm if Yan Xi was the substitute lover mentioned in the original novel.
Since Yan Xi and Fu Mingxiu had interacted, it seemed likely.
Gu Yang: [She didn’t provoke me. You said she was pitiful. What happened?]
Gu Yang wanted to see if their plot would develop like in the original novel.
Feeling guilty towards Gu Yang and wanting to make amends, Fu Mingxiu explained what had happened.
Gu Yang was surprised to learn that Fu Mingxiu and Tang Shiya’s marriage agreement had failed.
After all, this arrangement was considered set in stone within the wealthy circles of Jin City.
Fu Mingxiu explained, [I know it’s unfair to Tang Shiya and the Tang family to oppose this marriage now. But if I don’t act decisively this time, I won’t have another chance.]
[If we break off the engagement after it’s been formalized, the impact will be even worse. Our Fu family is in the wrong. Although the marriage can’t proceed, we’ll compensate the Tang family and Tang Shiya for their losses.]
Unless it was a life-and-death feud, wealthy families usually avoided being too ruthless.
If the deal didn’t work, benevolence remained. The same applied to marriage.
Gu Yang chose not to comment on this.
However, after hearing how Fu Mingxiu met Yan Xi, she was a bit surprised.
According to the plot of the original book, when Fu Mingxiu encountered a drugged Yan Xi, he would probably follow the typical domineering CEO trope instead of taking her to the hospital to help her.
It seemed her butterfly effect had significantly altered Fu Mingxiu and Yan Xi’s future.
Gu Yang felt compelled to give Fu Mingxiu a heads-up. [Brother Xiu, everyone is unique. I am, and so is Yan Xi.]
[She’s not my substitute for the netizens in the entertainment industry, nor should she be anyone’s substitute.]
Fu Mingxiu replied: [I know, Yangyang. I’ve seen her before. She’s very different when she’s bare-faced. She’s not like you either.]
Yangyang was a warm and bright little sun, radiating light and warmth to everyone around her.
Yan Xi, on the other hand, was like wild grass that could grow even on cliffs.
Saturday finally arrived.
Feng Jue drove Gu Yang to the Grass-Raising Internet Cafe near Hua University.
Despite knowing Gu Yang’s capabilities, Feng Jue was still a little worried since Yan Xi was a stranger.
“Sister, remember to call me if you need anything.”
He wouldn’t interfere with his sister’s actions, but he was always ready to protect her.
Gu Yang nodded. “Don’t worry, I’m super awesome too.”
Her brother-in-law had confirmed that her hypnosis level was at least SS-level. Even if she encountered an elder from Utopia, she could hold her own.
Feng Jue smiled indulgently, “Yes, you are the best.”
However, as he watched Gu Yang walk into the Grass-Raising Internet Cafe and noticed the well-tended, expensive flowers and plants at the entrance, Feng Jue was stunned. His gaze darkened.
“Grass-Raising Internet Cafe, Grass-Raising Internet Cafe… Ha…”
