Chapter 390 : Gu Yan’s Story End (1/2)

Gu Yan had just attended a dinner party, so he was pretty drunk. Yet he just so happened to bump into Zhao Qian.

Who was she? Oh, only the woman who ran off with someone else when she saw his company failing.

Afterwards, he’d learnt that she had been seeing other men while they were still dating.

Zhao Qian wore splendid clothes, exquisite makeup, and a designer handbag in her hand, appearing quite the impressive sight. Her arm was linked with a man’s, as she shot him a distasteful glance.

“Gu Yan, just look at yourself now.” Zhao Qian’s mocking voice was like a thorn that stabbed into his heart.

Gu Yan forced himself to remain standing upright. “Zhao Qian, I believe that I was pretty decent to you. We’ve already broken up, so why are you being so aggressive?”

‘Just what were the many years of our relationship to her?’

“Decent? Gu Yan, why don’t you tell me how often you actually accompanied me? Whenever we went out shopping, you’d always be making calls on your phone. Whenever I wanted to have a meal with you, I’d always have to book you a week in advance!”

Whenever they went shopping, wasn’t he just there to pay for her?

Whenever she asked him out for meal, wasn’t it just to ask him for money?

Gu Yan suddenly felt cold inside. His lips moved, but he didn’t say anything. A man had to act like one.

“Nothing to say, eh?” Zhao Qian spoke aloofly. “No woman would want to be with a man like you! And who would take a liking to you now that your shitty company is going to fail?”

“Gu Yan?”

Someone called out from behind Gu Yan, before he felt an arm wrap around his shoulders. They even patted his shoulder and spoke with familiarity, “Why’re you here? Almost thought I was seeing things just now!”

“CEO Yu.” The man who Zhao Qian was hugging changed his attitude and cautiously reached out her hand. Yu Xingyun gave him a perfunctory handshake, his attitude a bit cold. “CEO Sun.”

“CEO Gu is your friend?” The man carefully probed.

Yu Xingyun didn’t reply, merely patting Gu Yan’s shoulder. “How about I give you a lift?”

“Thank you.”

“Why so polite? We’re bros!” Yu Xingyun got someone else to help him support Gu Yan while he walked to his car.

CEO Sun chased after him. “Er, CEO Yu, about the matter from last time—”

“Another time, perhaps.”

Zhao Qian only reacted once the car left. “CEO Sun, who was that man?”

“HK’s Yu Xingyun. He only recently came back. What’s his relationship with Gu Yan?” He looked at Zhao Qian, who shook her head. She’d never seen that man before.

……

The stress of work had taken Gu Yan’s mind away from his recently-ended relationship. But after this meeting with Zhao Qian, it was the first time he felt so upset. He made Yu Xingyun accompany him to drink for a long time.

Gu Yan’s relationship with Yu Xingyun was closer than his relationship with Sheng Xia’s parents. Back then, when he’d been completely inexperienced, they had introduced him to Yu Xingyun. He then went overseas to learn from the latter for a bit.

They met again after so many years, but everything had long changed.

With Yu Xingyun’s help, Gu Yan’s company soon improved and slowly got on the right track.

In the following year, he was very busy, and so rarely saw Yu Xingyun.

Everything changed on the day of Shi Sheng’s 18th birthday. Both Gu Yan and Yu Xingyun had drunk too much, probably from being too happy.

He sent Yu Xingyun to back to his home, but the two somehow ended up sleeping together. After that, things were awkward between them, so they didn’t meet for a long time.

Gu Yan had never thought of being together with a man. But ever since that night, he couldn’t help but think of Yu Xingyun.

These past few years, Yu Xingyun had helped him out a lot. It wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that Yu Xingyun took good care of him.
