Chapter 13
In a dare, the winner randomly assigned the loser a punishment-an action or a task-and the loser could not refuse.
Chu Yu, who had always been bold, suddenly hesitated for a moment.
Chu Chen noticed her strange expression and immediately jumped up in excitement. "You hesitated! Are you hiding some shameful secret?"
Chu Yu gave two dry coughs and cleared her throat. "What would a little brat like you know? It's fine. Go ahead, An Ya."
Chu Chen stared closely at Chu Yu's expression, trying to find a clue.
An Ya smiled and nodded. "All right, I'll draw the punishment cards at random, then."
The first punishment card was for Chu Chen. It was a truth card.
In front of the cameras, An Ya read out the punishment: "Truth punishment: when was your last romantic relationship?"
The question was not actually very pointed, but for Chu Chen, who was still a minor, it was quite a sharp one.
The haters in the livestream immediately pricked up their ears at the question.
If there was even the slightest thing wrong with Chu Chen's answer, the haters could blow it up on the spot.
Chu Chen chuckled and leaned back against the sofa, completely relaxed. "I've never dated anyone."
On this point, his older sister Chu Yu felt very reassured.
Although her younger brother was handsome and rich, he really had no head for romance, which was one thing that saved her some worry.
With the first punishment easily resolved, An Ya nodded and quickly drew the second punishment card for Chu Yu.
This time, it was actually a dare card.
After seeing what was written on the card, An Ya visibly froze. The punishment seemed to have surprised her somewhat.
She hesitated for two seconds before reading out the punishment. "Dare punishment: please send your ex a greeting. The required message is: hello, darling."
For a moment, silence fell.
Quite a few of the crew members filming the scene took on distinctly gossipy expressions.
The livestream was flooded with comments.
[Holy shit! This punishment is way too juicy. I want to see!!]
[Who's Chu Yu's ex-boyfriend? Fuck, I'm suddenly so excited.]
[I remember Chu Yu had a dating rumor a while back, right? Wasn't it with some entertainment company's
CEO
?]
Coming to his senses, Chu Chen also narrowed his eyes slightly and cast a suspicious look at Chu Yu beside him.
Chu Chen had been curious about his sister's love life for a long time, but he had never managed to coax a single honest word out of her.
An Ya awkwardly put down the punishment card. "How about we draw another one? This one really does feel a little over the line."
"No need." Chu Yu waved a hand. Without saying anything more, she took out her phone and opened WeChat.
Under the cameras, Chu Yu lowered her eyes and tapped her fingertips against her phone screen a few times, apparently typing.
"Done. I sent it." Chu Yu showed An Ya her lit-up phone screen.
With a quick glance, An Ya saw the final message bubble in the chat: "Hello, darling."
She quickly nodded and confirmed it with the other crew members. "Yes, she really sent it."
[Fuck! I want to see too. Let me see?]
[Aaaaaaaaah, who exactly is Chu Yu's ex-boyfriend? I want to know so badly.]
[Help, why did I have to watch the livestream right now? Now I can't focus on eating or working. All I want is the gossip on who Chu Yu's ex-boyfriend is.]
Not long after the last flood of comments, the matter of Chu Yu's ex-boyfriend sparked another heated discussion.
Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Gu Group building.
A tense atmosphere filled the conference room.
All the shareholders sat upright, as silent as cicadas in the cold, watching Gu Jinhuai at the head of the table.
"Today..." He had barely begun speaking when the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
Gu Jinhuai, who had not intended to pay it any attention, instinctively glanced at his phone, ready to continue speaking.
But when he saw the contact name displayed on the screen, he abruptly froze.
Why would Chu Yu suddenly message me?
Gu Jinhuai thought seriously for two seconds, then quickly picked up his phone and opened WeChat. There, in his chat with Chu Yu, was:
[Chu Yu]: Hello, darling.
Gu Jinhuai: "?"
They had broken up a year ago. What did she mean by sending this?
Gu Jinhuai's brows knitted tightly, and his gaze lingered on the phone screen for a long time.
Seeing his grave expression, the other shareholders thought something serious had happened and were even more afraid to make a sound.
Ten minutes later, Chu Yu, who had long since put the punishment out of her mind, suddenly received a reply from her ex-boyfriend, Gu Jinhuai.
She froze for a moment too before opening the message.
[Gu the Big Sucker]: What? Did your account get hacked?
Chu Yu: "??"
Author's note:
Chu Yu: My ex-boyfriend really does live up to being an ex-boyfriend, huh~
Chapter 13
The corner of Chu Yu's mouth twitched. She replied, [A dare], then paid it no further attention.
Meanwhile, Gu Jinhuai stared at the WeChat reply he had just received, his brows tightly furrowed, his thoughts unknown.
After a long while, Gu Jinhuai specifically opened Weibo and searched for Chu Yu's name.
In an instant, all sorts of related topics appeared, including a topic for the show Sisters and Brothers Charge Ahead, which caught Gu Jinhuai's eye.
Before long, the shareholders sitting stiffly upright in the conference room heard voices from a variety show livestream.
Someone listened carefully and recognized it as the sibling livestream variety show that had been very popular lately.
"Mr. Gu, is our group planning to enter the entertainment industry this year?" a shareholder asked with a fawning expression.
The Gu Group's businesses spanned major, well-known industries such as jewelry, real estate, and finance, but entertainment was the one area it had almost never ventured into.
In recent years, the entertainment industry had been developing increasingly well. If they could enter that industry, the gains for the Gu Group would certainly be considerable.
