146: Take a gamble

In fact, families with some background are very particular about nurturing their descendants, so most second-generation individuals are well-mannered.

Although many news stories have broken online, the fact that they become news indicates they are isolated incidents.

Those who cause trouble are mostly unsupervised by their families or have been spoiled.

Such families, even if they accumulate a certain amount of wealth, cannot hold onto it.

They are meat on a chopping block; it's only a matter of time.

Gu Yunshu is Gu Zheng’s youngest son. Although he is not being groomed as an heir, he is still strictly disciplined.

Gu Yunshu knows very well what he can and cannot do, which is why he showed annoyance when Lu Yang revealed his identity.

On this point, Gu Yunshu is clearly fundamentally different from Lu Yang.

The salesperson quickly copied the footage and brought it over, but was surprised to see Gu Yunshu standing next to Xu Zimo.

Xu Zimo watched the video once.

Indeed, Yi Yi had obvious evasive movements; Lu Yang was too hasty and didn't notice anyone.

“Are you blind?!”

Gu Yunshu already had anger towards Lu Yang, and after watching the video, he kicked him.

At this moment, Lu Yang no longer had his earlier arrogance.

Even Gu Yunshu had backed down, so how could he, whose family relies on Dongye Group's business to make money, dare to speak up?

Although many people were watching, at this moment, he didn't even consider the issue of face; he just wanted to salvage something: “Yes, it’s my fault, I apologize…”

Lu Yang was sent by his family to curry favor with Gu Yunshu, so while he might have some common youthful flaws, he is definitely not stupid.

“Then I’ll head back first; you continue to have fun.”

Xu Zimo ignored Lu Yang the entire time, greeted Gu Yunshu, and pulled Yi Yi towards the booth.

Seeing him return, the Socialites present looked at him differently.

Although it was already clear that Xu Zimo was very rich, they had no concept of *how* rich he was.

Now they did.

If he only had assets in the hundreds of millions, it would obviously be impossible for the Young Master Gu of Dongye Group to back down.

So… Guan Yanchu naturally saw their looks, wanting to devour Xu Zimo, and immediately walked over, asking with concern: “Sister Yi Yi, are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

Yi Yi shook her head.

She was still a bit dazed, seemingly not having fully processed it.

So… he wasn’t going to make her pay?

She was still a little uneasy.

Xu Zimo, holding her hand, could naturally feel her slight trembling.

Her uneasiness, in fact, precisely proved her inner kindness.

This wasn't some kind of saintly compassion or weakness, but rather a psychological reaction that most ordinary people would have.

It takes some time to calm down.

After sitting down, although their positions were the same as before, Yi Yi no longer resisted physical contact at all.

And on the other side, Guan Yanchu, as soon as Xu Zimo sat down, proactively wrapped her arm around his.

She even… utilized her assets.

With a 92-point figure, her assets were undeniable.

Clearly, she was afraid Xu Zimo would prefer someone pure like Yi Yi and leave her out.

Guan Yanchu was very certain that if she missed this opportunity, it would be almost impossible to find someone better than Xu Zimo in the future.

Young, rich, generous.

Of course, she dared not mention any conditions anymore.

She could only gamble.

Bet that Xu Zimo would not treat her badly.

The game continued, and they became even more uninhibited, bringing out all sorts of games, just wanting to attract Xu Zimo’s attention.

Soon after.

Huang Yuqing was called out by the salesperson, and quickly returned, leaning close to Xu Zimo: “Zimo, Young Master Gu sent over some martell cordon bleu, saying he wants to toast you.”

She was greatly shaken internally and dared not harbor any extravagant hopes, only wanting to wholeheartedly please Xu Zimo.

“Oh.”

Xu Zimo naturally didn’t put on airs, stood up, and walked out.

He saw Gu Yunshu standing there, with the salesperson holding three bottles of martell cordon bleu beside him.

“Uncle Xu, I’ve disturbed your fun. I’ve come to offer a toast.”

Gu Yunshu now only wanted Xu Zimo to put in a good word for him with the old man; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to go out and have fun for at least a month.

“Why be so polite?”

Xu Zimo didn’t have any ill feelings towards him, so he didn’t refuse, “Come in and play for a bit?”

“Alright!”

After Gu Yunshu entered the booth, he only took a quick glance.

Well, well.

It was all women, with Xu Zimo as the only man.

Is this the joy of being an uncle?!

Although Xu Zimo looked young, with so many… could he really handle it?

He came in, offered a toast, and then left.

But Gu Yunshu’s attitude towards Xu Zimo left a deep impression on all the Socialites present.

Uncle.

My goodness, the Young Master Gu of Dongye Group actually called him Uncle!

What did this mean?

Xu Zimo must know the helmsman of Dongye Group, and their relationship was extraordinary.

What his specific identity was, they could only guess wildly.

But it was definitely not simple.

They hadn't expected Huang Yuqing to know such a person.

No wonder she had become successful now.

Even a little bit that leaked through his fingers would be enough to satisfy them.

Now, in their eyes, Xu Zimo was like the Tang Monk's flesh or a Ginseng Fruit.

Unfortunately, getting a taste was not so simple.

Time quickly came to eleven o'clock.

The bar began to warm up, lights were fully on, and the music was deafening.

Xu Zimo didn't leave the booth, but he was greatly aroused by Guan Yanchu next to him.

She had some skills.

Even though she initiated, she still maintained her demeanor, her leng yu appearance making people very eager to conquer her.

Moreover, she had subtle movements with her feet.

Xu Zimo felt a rush of heat from his feet to his head, suppressing the urge in his heart, and whispered: “Stop messing around.”

However, Guan Yanchu not only didn't stop but instead hooked Xu Zimo's trouser leg with her toes, gently tugging.

Xu Zimo could no longer sit still; he abruptly stood up, pulled Guan Yanchu up, “Come with me.”

A hint of a triumphant smile flashed in Guan Yanchu’s eyes as she obediently let him pull her.

“You all continue to have fun; I’ll be right back.” Xu Zimo instructed Huang Yuqing, then pulled Guan Yanchu out of the booth.

Yi Yi looked at the departing pair, a deep sense of loss flashing in her eyes.

She originally… still had some fantasies.

Now, those fantasies were shattered.

“Yi Yi.”

Huang Yuqing noticed her disappointment, leaned over, and comforted her: “Don’t worry, Zimo won’t abandon you.”

“Sister Yuqing, what are you saying?”

Yi Yi was still thin-skinned.

Although she pretended not to care, her gaze kept glancing towards the booth entrance… Xu Zimo was checking Guan Yanchu’s homework.

He originally thought she was highly educated and very capable, at least a female doctor.

But then he took out his phone and checked her academic background.

It was just an ordinary vocational college.

As for the knowledge she claimed to have, it was probably all from online courses.

Fake diploma.

It couldn't withstand scrutiny at all.
