Chapter 713: You're Too Kind
Gu Yeqi's behavior was extremely hypocritical in Li Chenxu's eyes, but most men are competitive and ambitious, and Li Chenxu was no exception. If Gu Yeqi could tolerate it, why couldn't Li Chenxu?
Li Chenxu's slightly displeased expression instantly changed. He smiled politely and shook hands with Gu Yeqi, saying, "Of course, I've long forgotten what happened before. It's just that I don't usually have much contact with Mr. Gu, so I haven't said much. Since Xiaoyu and Song Yin are best friends, we should become friends too."
There was an undercurrent of tension between the two men, neither willing to admit defeat, and both were extremely good at maintaining appearances.
Seeing this, Song Yin and Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but want to chuckle to themselves.
They were both extremely shrewd individuals. Gu Yeqi and Li Chenxu didn't get along, and they certainly knew that reconciliation wouldn't be so easy. But there was plenty of time; these things could be dealt with gradually.
Mu Xiaoyu wouldn't pressure Li Chenxu about other things, but on this matter, she hoped he could persevere.
Excluding Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu had a good relationship with both Song Yin and Gu Yeqi. She could get along well with either of them.
But Li Chenxu is different; without her, he can't get along with anyone.
Seeing him all alone made her feel bad.
Actually, when I think about it, the reason why Li Chenxu developed such an extreme personality is largely due to his family.
If he hadn't been born into the Qin family, he might not have developed the personality he has now.
Li Chenxu is a really good person; it's just that the people around him in the past were too wicked.
After this incident, at least on the surface, Li Chenxu and Gu Yeqi have reconciled.
Seeing this, Song Yin and the others didn't say anything more, and briefly explained to Mu Xiaoyu the reason why she and Gu Yeqi went abroad.
After saying that, she couldn't help but sigh softly, saying, "To be honest, before I was with Gu Yeqi, I never considered these things. I never thought I would have to face them now."
Having been friends for so long, Mu Xiaoyu remembered clearly that Song Yin had once told her that she didn't have high expectations for marriage and that being alone was actually quite nice.
Anyway, they're not short of money; as long as they have money, they can basically do whatever they want. If they really feel lonely and can't live alone, they can just adopt a child.
Song Yin used to live a very carefree life. Apart from her friend Mu Xiaoyu and her family, there was basically nothing that could bind her.
However, now there is another Gu Yeqi.
Mu Xiaoyu knows her too well. The fact that Song Yin has gone to such lengths shows how important Gu Yeqi is to Song Yin right now.
"However, if you just go there like this, what if... Ye Qi's parents don't want to see you?"
After listening, Mu Xiaoyu thought for a moment and then voiced her concerns.
It was unclear what Song Yin was planning, but upon hearing her words, she immediately laughed. Her laughter held a hint of cunning as she whispered, "Of course we won't go into battle unprepared. The Gu family arranged a marriage for Gu Yeqi when he was young, and his fiancée has someone else in her heart, and... she's already done everything she could. The reason she hasn't broken off the engagement with Gu Yeqi is that she wants to use him as a shield."
Upon hearing Song Yin's words, Mu Xiaoyu immediately understood. She let out a long "Oh," and said, "So this is it. It's good that you were prepared. If there's anything we can help with, just let us know. Didn't we just say we're family? Let's not be so formal, right?"
Mu Xiaoyu emphasized the words "family," deliberately saying them so that Gu Yeqi and Li Chenxu could hear.
As expected, these two grown men were clearly very resistant to those three words. No matter how well they tried to hide it, the twitching corners of their mouths betrayed their inner emotions.
“Xiaoyu is right, we are family. If there is anything we can help with, Mr. Gu, please don’t hesitate to ask. I heard that Mr. Gu’s work has been suspended for some time now, so this matter must be quite complicated. So please don’t hesitate to ask if there is anything you need.”
Li Chenxu's words were clearly a veiled insult to Gu Yeqi. Because of his father's interference, Gu Yeqi had been receiving virtually no work lately. Furthermore, his credit card had been suspended; to put it bluntly, he had been living off Song Yin these past few days.
He eats Song Yin's food, uses Song Yin's things, he's spending a woman's money anyway, it's obvious he's a freeloader.
How could someone as intelligent as Gu Yeqi not understand the hidden meaning in Li Chenxu's words?
If it were anyone else, they might have already flew into a rage.
Unfortunately, Gu Yeqi remained unmoved and even chuckled softly.
He is indeed living off a woman now, but neither he nor Song Yin are short of money. Moreover, it's a good thing that Song Yin is willing to let him live off her now.
It would be a terrible thing if one day Song Yin stopped spending money on him.
Thinking of this, Gu Yeqi's smile deepened, but in the end, only a look of annoyance remained on his face.
"Yeah, I've been using Yinyin's things for everything lately, and I feel a little guilty about it. Yinyin loves to buy me things, she likes to buy me all sorts of nice things, but right now I can't give her anything..."
This is clearly showing off. Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu had been in a cold war for so long, but she never bought Li Chenxu anything even once.
Even in the past, Mu Xiaoyu didn't buy Li Chenxu many things.
Compared to Gu Yeqi, Li Chenxu's situation was far more than just miserable.
Immediately, Li Chenxu's expression turned somewhat ugly, and his gaze towards Mu Xiaoyu even carried a hint of resentment.
Seeing Li Chenxu's pitiful appearance, Mu Xiaoyu showed no mercy and burst out laughing.
From an angle where Song Yin and Gu Yeqi couldn't see, she gently tugged at Li Chenxu's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Alright, stop looking at me like that. Once I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll buy you things when I have time, okay?"
"Don't lie to me, you have to keep your word."
"I'm not lying to you, I'm not you."
Mu Xiaoyu blurted it out, then immediately realized she had said the wrong thing. Even though Li Chenxu had made the mistake before, it wouldn't have mattered if she said it now, but for some reason, she suddenly felt a little nervous.
Mu Xiaoyu's throat bobbed nervously, and she was about to speak when Li Chenxu said, "What happened before was indeed my fault, and what you just said is also right. There's no need to feel guilty. Xiaoyu, you're too kind and too soft-hearted."
