Gu Jinhuai quickly responded, "Yes, thank you, Mom."
Chu Yu, who was eating a pear, paused.
??
Did she mishear something?
Chu Yu slowly turned her head to Gu Jinhuai beside her, her eyes full of doubt, "You..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Jinhuai had already stood up. "It's getting late, let's not disturb Mom."
Chu Yu: "?"
As he spoke, Gu Jinhuai reached out and grabbed Chu Yu's arm, trying to help her up.
Fang Lanzhi nestled on the sofa, secretly pleased as she watched the young couple walk up the stairs.
Judging from the current situation, her wish to hold her grandson soon should be fulfilled very soon.
Thinking of this, Fang Lanzhi immediately got up excitedly and ran to find Chu Tingnian to discuss a suitable date for their engagement.
On the other side, Chu Yu was pulled into a room by Gu Jinhuai alone.
Once the door was closed, everything outside was instantly shut out, as if only the two of them remained in the world.
The atmosphere in the room gradually became subtle.
Chu Yu became wary and sized up the man opposite her. "What are you doing?"
Gu Jinhuai lowered his gaze to Chu Yu's face, a gentle smile unconsciously appearing in his eyes. "It's nothing, I'm just a little happy that we can finally be together openly."
A few years ago, when Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu first got together, they kept their relationship a secret and had no chance to show it off to others.
After that, the two broke up and never crossed paths again.
Therefore, Gu Jinhuai had been waiting for this day for a very long time.
Infected by Gu Jinhuai's emotions, Chu Yu lowered her head and coughed lightly, trying to hide her nervousness.
But the next second, the man's passionate embrace rushed towards Chu Yu.
A faint scent of men's cologne emanated from Gu Jinhuai, conveying a sense of composure and restraint.
Chu Yu, who hadn't had such intimate contact with a member of the opposite sex in a long time, was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, a slight blush rose to her cheeks.
Sensing that the girl in his arms did not resist, Gu Jinhuai tightened his grip on her, finally giving her the embrace he had been waiting for for so many years.
At that moment, neither of them said anything.
Because they already understood each other's feelings.
A brief moment of warmth was enough to restore their spirits.
After a long while, Gu Jinhuai slowly released Chu Yu from his arms, looked down at her, and smoothed her hair with his hand. "Go to sleep, goodnight."
Chu Yu's gaze softened slightly. "Goodnight."
Two days later, the day of the Beijing elites' banquet finally arrived.
In the past two days, rumors about the dramatic storyline between Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu have intensified online, causing the stock prices of both the Chu Group and Gu Group to plummet for two consecutive days.
But for some reason, Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu never came forward to clarify the situation.
This led netizens to trust the rumors even more, believing that Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu had something to hide and therefore dared not come out to clarify.
[Have you heard? Many of Beijing's elite families are attending a private banquet today, and the invitations were sent in Gu Jinhuai's name.]
[What kind of banquet? Where is it? They have time to hold a banquet, but don't clarify online? They're clearly hiding something.]
[Family members, I've found out. The banquet is being held at the Bulgari Hotel, but outsiders probably can't get in.]
Before long, the location of the banquet held in Gu Jinhuai's name in the Beijing entertainment circle was widely spread.
Although outsiders were not allowed to enter the hotel to attend the banquet, for netizens who were in a state of anger, just having a group of Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu waiting at the door was enough for them to question them.
For the past two days, Chu Yu's personal fan club has remained silent.
Although fans still believe in Chu Yu, the overwhelming rumors circulating online inevitably cause them to waver.
Amidst the increasingly anxious atmosphere in the fan group, group administrator Xiao Qi finally received an updated message from manager Zhang Yue: "[Today, Chu Yu and the company will release a comprehensive clarification statement. The fans have suffered these past two days. After this matter is resolved today, I will work with the company to apply for benefits for everyone.]"
Since the leaked information came out, Xiao Qi has not made any rash moves.
As an administrator of Chu Yu's fan club, any extreme remarks she makes in an irrational state could directly negatively impact Chu Yu.
So no matter how much netizens criticized her or how much her fans urged her, Xiao Qi remained calm and composed, keeping everyone quiet.
But today, she finally doesn't have to endure it anymore.
[ Xiao Qi: Today, Chu Yu and his company will officially release a clarification statement. The company will apply for welfare benefits for everyone who has suffered during this time!]
After Xiao Qi's announcement, she immediately received excited responses from the group members.
[Great! My wife is finally going to clarify things; I've been so angry these past two days.]
[Aaaaaaah, those who spread rumors must be sued to death!!]
[Waiting for a clarification statement! Support Chu Yu's wife!]
Upon seeing the group notification, Xu Mengying's eyes narrowed slightly, and she clenched her small fists.
The goddess is finally ready to fight back!
These past few days, Chu Yu and Gu Jinhuai have been severely criticized, and Xu Mengying is naturally the one who is suffering the most.
Fortunately, she had already learned the entire plan from Chu Yu the day before yesterday.
It's worth mentioning that Xu Mengying has now been moved by Gu Jinhuai's sincerity and has become one of her brother-in-law's supporters.
As for how she was turned, the main reason lies in the banquet that is about to begin today.
Two days ago, Gu Jinhuai's men were secretly dispatched to begin preparing for the banquet, and all of this preparation was kept secret from Chu Yu.
Currently, only Chu Chen, Lu Haoming, and Xu Mengying know the inside information.
