[Xiaodeng: Chu Xinghui is going to livestream after things wrap up today.]
Despite all the anger inside him, Gu Chupei still sent Lan Xiangxian home first and waited downstairs at the livestreaming building with Pei Hanmo.
Just as he grew bored enough to want to talk to Lan Xiangxian, a message from Xi Qingyan arrived.
[Xiao Xi: I'm coming back to the country in a few days.]
Gu Chupei's hands were shaking when he saw Xi Qingyan's message.
He hadn't expected Xi Qingyan to still remember to message him after all these years.

Pei Hanmo wasn't as happy as he had imagined. Instead, after a moment of silence, he said:
"What about Lan Xiangxian? What are you planning to do with him?"

The happy gleam in his eyes was instantly doused with cold water. He had been so happy about Xi Qingyan coming back that he had forgotten Lan Xiangxian was still at the little villa.
"His contract hasn't expired yet."
Gu Chupei thought for a moment, then said:
"When his contract expires, I'll find him a job. If that doesn't work out, I'll just send him money."
In his worldview, there was nothing money couldn't solve.
"Didn't you tell me the two of you did it?"
Pei Hanmo continued showering Chu Xinghui's livestream with gifts. Seeing the fans screaming in the comments, he nodded in satisfaction:
"Aren't you still buying him with money?
How are you any different from those sleazy older men who kept your mother?
Money isn't
