Ji Yu didn’t understand why this manager was looking at her with such an expression, but it certainly made her feel uncomfortable.
Of course, encountering sothing like this made Ji Yu feel uneasy too.
"His condition is better off being checked at a hospital. If he doesn’t go, I’m afraid there might be so lingering aftereffects later on."
To be honest, the manager really didn’t want to ddle in his affairs anymore. That lovesick fool—who knows when he’ll ever recover? Ji Yu clearly already has soone, yet he still insists on putting himself in a position to get hurt. What on earth is he thinking?
"I understand. Thank you for reminding ."
After saying this, he left with Lu Xingchen by his side.
Lu Xingchen truly found this situation hard to accept.
"What exactly are you thinking? Yu already has soone she loves, and there’s even a child involved now. You aren’t seriously planning to beco the third wheel for love, are you?"
Even the thought of it was absurd. If he really dared to do such a thing, his manager might actually explode in frustration.
"I just don’t want to make things look too ugly."
The truth was, he simply couldn’t let go.
With how much he liked Ji Yu, how could he possibly forget her so easily?
"This ti was an accident. Honestly, this trouble was my doing. I don’t want to keep seeing Ji Yu in this situation."
If it weren’t for him, Wang Baiquan probably wouldn’t have gotten involved with Ji Yu in the first place. So when everything cos down to it, he should definitely be considered part of the problem.
The manager had completely run out of patience. He knew Wang Baiquan was far from a decent person. "Just pray that Wang Baiquan doesn’t resurface. If he does, the first one to suffer will be you. Why are you always so impulsive?"
How could it be called impulsive?
It’s just that when it ca to Ji Yu, he couldn’t stay calm. There were other ways to handle it back then, but his mind had gone blank.
"Forget it. I won’t berate you anymore. Just do your best to make sure things between you two don’t get too awkward. Knowing Yu might still be useful to you in the future. At the very least, she could lend you a hand when needed."
The Gu family’s vast influence made it easy for them to provide assistance. But whether he was willing to accept their help was another matter entirely. Being assisted by his rival in love was worse than anything—it would almost be better if he were just taken out right then and there.
Perhaps understanding what his artist was feeling deep down, the manager’s expression turned helpless. "You better stop causing trouble. This is such a simple matter, yet you’re making it seem like Ji Yu has to choose you or sothing."
The truth was, Ji Yu was already starting to have doubts about Lu Xingchen’s behavior, mostly because relationships between friends usually don’t look like this.
She was beginning to wonder if she had oversimplified things from the start, leading to this sudden, unexpected situation.
"Gu Qixiao, tell honestly, is this situation exactly what I think it is? Could Lu Xingchen actually have other intentions toward ?"
Gu Qixiao didn’t initially want to share this with Ji Yu, but since she had asked him directly, he couldn’t keep hiding it.
"That seems to be the case. But you already rejected him before, didn’t you? He should’ve known better by now."
Since Ji Yu had clearly turned him down before, Gu Qixiao hoped Ji Yu wouldn’t bother about Lu Xingchen’s matters any further.
But even though Ji Yu had rejected him, there was still a tinge of guilt in her heart.
"You saw how things unfolded today. He even helped out. It was so incredibly awkward. I just hope this can be resolved quickly."
If it went on like this, she worried she wouldn’t be able to bear it.
"I know you probably feel guilty, but all of this was sothing Lu Xingchen chose for himself. No one forced him into it."
Ji Yu still cared deeply about this situation.
"I just feel like, after everything he’s done for , I don’t have feelings for him. Staying close might make things even more awkward, and owing soone favors is the sort of thing you should always minimize if you can."
If this continued, Ji Yu truly feared things would beco unbearable.
It was best to clarify this situation and draw a clear boundary.
"This is my fault. If I had co to you sooner, none of this would’ve happened."
Watching Ji Yu like this made him feel a deep pang of heartache. "How could this even be your fault? This whole thing doesn’t have much to do with you. I thought I could handle it myself, but I didn’t expect him to act so rashly."
At that mont, Ji Yu had been utterly stunned, standing there dumbfounded. Even if she’d avoided things slightly, she wouldn’t have found herself in such a predicant.
Maybe it was because Ji Yu’s reaction had been so surprising that he assud she’d be easy to take advantage of.
"Yu, none of this is your fault. Wang Baiquan was deliberately causing trouble. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure this is dealt with properly."
He absolutely wouldn’t let Wang Baiquan just walk away from this.
His heart burned with anger over the situation.
Ji Yu looked at him and nodded, hoping this matter could progress smoothly. Mostly, she just felt emotionally drained.
"Yu, none of these things are issues. You just need to stop thinking about it anymore."
That night, the Wang family had already started trying to bail him out. But no matter who they contacted, the result was the sa. They were beginning to realize that sothing was off—that their son must’ve offended the wrong people. Otherwise, how could it be so difficult to get him released?
"I can’t say too much about this, but I’d suggest you have a proper conversation with the Gu family. This issue is tied to them, and the reason your son isn’t being released is because people from the Gu family already made arrangents. Continuing with this approach won’t change anything."
Struggling further would be futile; resolving things at the source was the only way. Otherwise, this problem would persist endlessly.
Wang Fuyu felt nothing but despair at this point. Who would’ve thought his son would end up entangled with such people? Minor mistakes from the past could have been overlooked, but actions like this were sure to bring ruin.
His heart was heavy, but in the end, he arranged to et Gu Qixiao, hoping Gu Qixiao would be rciful and let the matter go. The Wang family was willing to pay compensation at fair market value.
However, Gu Qixiao didn’t even have the intention of eting them.
