Chapter 579 - 580: Negotiation
Murong Tiancheng only knew that his brother had been beaten but didn’t know by whom, because he hadn’t gone to the hospital to see him. He was at the airport today to pick someone up when he happened to run into Gu Xiao and Gu Yunxi and the others.
However, what frustrated Murong Tiancheng was that his future sister-in-law actually claimed someone else as her boyfriend. What about his brother then? The wedding hadn’t happened yet, and his brother was already being cuckolded. This was simply unbearable.
"Yes, this is my boyfriend!"
With a smack~
After saying that, Gu Yunxi gave Xiao Tianyu a kiss on the cheek, undeniably affirming her relationship with him.
Xiao Tianyu wiped the lingering lipstick from his face, showing a helpless expression. What on earth was this woman doing? Wasn’t she already accusing him unjustly enough? He even pondered whether the fifty thousand a day was really worth it.
"Tiancheng, what are you doing here?" Just at that moment, a woman’s seductive voice came through.
Immediately, a woman dressed rather provocatively, carrying a handbag and walking with a lilting step, swayed toward them.
"Darling, I got held up by something, sorry!" Murong Tiancheng smiled gently at the woman who had just arrived, then wrapped his arms around her, as she pretended to pout, "What’s more important than picking me up?"
This woman was Murong Tiancheng’s girlfriend, and he had come to the airport to pick her up.
Then, her gaze fell on Gu Yunxi, noticing that Gu Yunxi’s beauty far exceeded hers, she grumbled to Murong Tiancheng, "Did you forget to pick me up just because of this woman, huh..."
"Baby, you’re mistaken!" Murong Tiancheng explained, "This is going to be my future sister-in-law, and those two are her parents!"
"And who is this handsome guy?" the woman asked, all the while thinking: Damn, he’s so handsome. I wonder how strong he is in that respect. I’d love to flip him over and test it out.
"This guy!" Murong Tiancheng was taken aback.
His girlfriend smiled alluringly, extended her right hand to Xiao Tianyu and said, "I’m Lisa, and you, handsome?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu didn’t even glance at her. He had a deep aversion to such women.
Seeing Xiao Tianyu ignoring her, Lisa was taken aback. Having initiated a greeting only to be snubbed in return was infuriating.
So, Lisa sized up Xiao Tianyu, saw that he was dressed normally, and snorted, "A poor loser acting all high and mighty?"
Xiao Tianyu remained unfazed, but Gu Yunxi couldn’t swallow the insult. She gave Lisa a cold look and said, "Please speak with some respect. Just because you’re with a rich guy doesn’t mean you can disrespect my boyfriend!"
"Boyfriend?" Lisa was stunned, thinking: Didn’t Tiancheng say this woman was his sister-in-law? How come this...
"Yunxi, shut up!" Gu Xiao shouted. This girl was speaking without any regard for the situation.
But Gu Yunxi’s eyes twinkled as she declared, "What I’m saying is the truth. From now on, Xiao Tianyu is my boyfriend, and I’ll give the Murong Family an explanation!"
"What kind of explanation, hand over the Gu Corporation?" Gu Xiao glared at Gu Yunxi, "If you are still my daughter, you will immediately sever all ties with this man and dutifully become the Young Madam of the Murong Family. Even if you don’t think about yourself, think about the Gu Family!"
"I’m not that selfless!" Gu Yunxi looked directly at Gu Xiao, unashamed, "I can’t use my whole life to elevate the Murong Family for your sake. Today, I brought Tianyu here to prove that Xiao Tianyu is my boyfriend. He is the one I love!"
Xiao Tianyu stood to the side, dumbfounded, staring at Gu Yunxi. Was this woman determined to drag him down the rabbit hole? We don’t even have any real connection, right? Playing the scapegoat has gone this far, isn’t that enough?
Gu Xiao’s gaze shifted to Xiao Tianyu, a chilling tone in his voice, "We should sit down and have a proper talk!"
"What is there to talk about?" Xiao Tianyu replied calmly.
The Murong Family was no big deal in his eyes, and the Murong Group’s assets were just trivial junk to Xiao Tianyu.
"Given how complicated things are between you and my dear daughter, do you think it’s unnecessary to talk to her parents?" Ruan Lingyu, who had remained silent up until now, glanced at Xiao Tianyu with a look of disdain.
"You really want to talk?" Xiao Tianyu’s voice suddenly turned cold, "I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle the conversation!"
Gu Yunxi’s parents kept picking on him, and even this tolerant man had his limits.
"Unable to handle it?" Lisa burst out laughing, "Tiancheng, where did this joker come from? Dressed like that, and he thinks he can out-talk us?"
"Anyone can brag!" Murong Tiancheng sneered.
Xiao Tianyu couldn’t be bothered, as his eyes locked onto Gu Xiao, causing Gu Xiao, for some inexplicable reason, to feel a sense of intimidation, almost as if a fierce beast could leap out of Xiao Tianyu’s gaze at any moment.
Yet Gu Xiao insisted, "Given the situation between you and my daughter, isn’t there a need for a discussion?"
"Address!" Xiao Tianyu said.
"Across the street from the airport, Binhai Hotel, Room 15!" With that, Gu Xiao took Ruan Lingyu’s hand and left the airport, giving Gu Yunxi a glance before departing.
Gu Yunxi’s eyes sparkled, but she did not respond.
Murong Tiancheng, with Lisa in tow, also exited the airport lobby to follow Gu Xiao and his wife, all the while keeping a trace of a cold smile on his face. Competing with my brother for a girlfriend? You have no idea what you’re dealing with.
Once they had left, Xiao Tianyu turned to Gu Yunxi and said, "Satisfied now?"
"Are you really going to talk with my parents?" Gu Yunxi’s eyes flickered, to which Xiao Tianyu gave her a dismissive look. Since I’m already being paid, I have to play the role seriously. Don’t worry, I won’t get into trouble!"
Uh?
Hearing this, Gu Yunxi gave Xiao Tianyu an annoyed look. She wanted to say, I know you won’t get into trouble; I’m worried they’re the ones who might!
"Wait here for me!" Xiao Tianyu said nonchalantly before striding out of the lobby and heading toward the Binhai Hotel across the street, while Gu Yunxi said, "I’ll go with you!"
"Are you stupid?" Xiao Tianyu looked at Gu Yunxi in exasperation, "If your parents wanted you there, they wouldn’t have invited me to the hotel alone!"
"Alright then." Gu Yunxi nodded, "Just take it easy, okay? They are my parents after all!"
"Got it!" Xiao Tianyu nodded, and then he left the airport.
Binhai Hotel.
As soon as Xiao Tianyu entered the hotel’s lobby, he was warmly greeted by a smiling female attendant, "Welcome!"
"Please take me to Room 15!"
"Certainly!" The female attendant nodded, extending her right hand in a welcoming gesture, "This way, sir!"
