Chapter 191: Someone they fell in love with in their youth
Gu Yu shook her head.
Xicheng stared at her for a moment, making sure she wasn’t kidding, then delight filled the pair of eyes on his handsome face.
“Xu Yang, open a bottle of wine!”
“Okay!”
Xu Yang smiled and walked quickly to the wine cellar.
“You!” Gu Yu whispered. “You’re being childish for such a grown man. Tell me the truth, what happened to you and Ji Mo?”
Xicheng didn’t answer, but asked instead, “How does sister know him?”
Gu Yu sat upright. “Dad is already old and sick. I came back this time to move my business headquarters back to China and also take care of you. Ji Mo is my partner, and there’s been countless deals to be dealt with, so I let him come back in advance to help me test the waters.”
“You mean Fengyun Media?”
Gu Yu nodded, “I have taken 55% of Fengyun’s equity and will be taking over formally tomorrow.”
“You want to switch careers to entertainment?”
“It’s not a shift, it’s a multi-line operation. You should know that eggs shouldn’t be put in one basket.”
“But… wouldn’t that be too tiring for you?”
“So …” Gu Yu blinked at him, “Are you coming back to help your sister?”
Xicheng coughed, “Sister, don’t change the subject, okay?”
“It’s obviously you who changed the subject.” Gu Yu laughed. “I and Ji Mo have known each other long ago in the United States. I’m very optimistic about his talent and character. I don’t understand things in the entertainment industry. I need someone who has a good grasp of the ins and outs to help me. So … do you really have to send my partner to prison?”
Xicheng pouted, “You saw it, too, he asked for it.”
“What’s the truth of the matter?”
Xicheng sighed, and recounted the story briefly to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu nodded. “Pei Ruoxi should be Ji Mo’s ex-girlfriend. I’ve never known this man could actually be this infatuated.”
“What infatuation, he is simply an idiot.”
“Are you saying your sister has no vision?”
“I don’t mean that. He does have talents and good character, but … his vision is terrible! A woman like Pei Ruoxie is not worthy of him.”
“You are still young so you do n"t understand feelings.” Gu Yu’s lips rose. “It’s difficult for people to forget the person they fell in love with when they were young.”
As she spoke, her right hand reached out subconsciously, pulling the sleeve of her left hand that covered most of the back of her hand.
Noticing her subtle movements, a strange color flashed across Xicheng’s eyes, but before he could shift the topic once more, Gu Yu raised her face.
“Xiao Han, just for my sake, can you let it go?”
“This…” Xicheng raised an eyebrow and met her gentle eyes, and he lost his temper again. “But … this is too unfair to Ning Xiaofei.”
“Ning Xiaofei? You mean the girl you misunderstood?”
Xicheng nodded, annoyance tinged his voice, “Before going to her talk show that night, I got so angry with her and berrated her too much in front of the whole column group.”
Gu Yu was surprised, “You attended a talk show?”
“Blame that stinky girl!” Xicheng froze, “I shouldn’t have promised her to do the show.”
Looking sideways at her brother’s annoyance, Gu Yu’s lips angled lightly. “I’m guessing she must be a very special girl?”
“That girl …” When referring to Ning Xiaofei, Xicheng was indignant. “Of course, she’s different from others. In all my days, no woman has ever pointed at my nose like she has done!”
