267: Let him start a new life

As soon as Tian Yuwei said this, Lin Jia frowned.

In Lin Jia's eyes, the current Tian Yuwei was no longer the confident and generous beauty she saw when they were only connected online; now, she was like a girl next door who could be bullied at any time.

Having just heard the news and knowing that the City wasn't safe lately, Lin Jia was genuinely worried that Tian Yuwei might fall for someone else's trap again.

"Are you planning to continue rushing announcements after you resume work? Where do you plan to live afterward? The rumors have just passed, the paparazzi must still be watching you, right?"

Tian Yuwei saw Lin Jia's concern. This was something she had already thought through clearly, and the questions Lin Jia asked didn't stump her.

"Yes, my agent just booked me a variety show, and I'll be going out for the show soon. Normally, I might still need to trouble you guys. My agent said it's safer here and suggested I stay until I buy a new place."

"As for the paparazzi issue, you don't need to worry. Because of the recent events, these paparazzi owe me a favor, and they've all agreed not to expose where I live."

When Tian Yuwei exposed Tang Juan online, she actually also leaked some of her investigative findings about Tang Juan's exceptionally outrageous behavior, such as sacrificing herself to a married Director for roles and privately assaulting assistants, to the paparazzi.

The paparazzi got such juicy gossip from Tian Yuwei, so their attitude towards Tian Yuwei is now extremely good. After learning that Tian Yuwei also assisted Police in solving cases, they dared not easily offend her.

For a requirement like Tian Yuwei not wanting people to know where she lived, paparazzi with integrity would naturally not offend Tian Yuwei over such a matter.

After all, the current Tian Yuwei is protected by the state. If they spread rumors about Tian Yuwei or disturb her private life, even if Tian Yuwei agreed, the state wouldn't allow it.

Seeing Tian Yuwei's certainty, Lin Jia knew that she had already made a decision and was just informing them today. Therefore, Lin Jia didn't continue to dwell on this topic.

She nodded and instructed, "Since you've made your decision, I respect it. Anyway, you living here doesn't affect me. You don't need to ask me about this; I respect your and Su Yue's approach."

"However, listening to the news just now, the City seems unsafe lately. You should be careful when you go out."

Tian Yuwei nodded, "Okay, I will, thank you, Lin Jia."

Lin Jia shook her head.

Tian Yuwei looked at Su Yue, who had been deep in thought, and asked with some worry, "Su Yue, what's wrong? You seem a bit unhappy? Did I disturb you? I'm sorry, I'll move out as soon as possible."

"But I've already troubled you for so long, I don't think I can keep bothering you like this. How about I sleep on the living room sofa from now on, and you go back to your room?"

Su Yue's thoughts were interrupted by Tian Yuwei. Suddenly seeing Tian Yuwei's cautious expression, he quickly shook his head.

"I'm not unhappy, I was just thinking about something just now."

"As for the room, you can just stay there, it's fine. Besides, I'm already used to sleeping on the sofa now, so there's no need to change. I've also contacted a few agents recently, and I'll take you to look at apartments then."

Tian Yuwei retorted, "No way, who gets used to sleeping on a sofa? I've seen you twist your neck several times, you're clearly sleeping very uncomfortably. We should still switch."

While Tian Yuwei was speaking, Su Yue was even massaging his neck due to soreness. Hearing Tian Yuwei's retort, his movements paused, and he awkwardly put his hand down.

However, even though Tian Yuwei saw through his discomfort, Su Yue didn't plan to let Tian Yuwei sleep on the sofa just like that.

"Really, it's not necessary."

Seeing Tian Yuwei about to retort again, Su Yue didn't want to argue with Tian Yuwei about this and grabbed a slice of toast, heading towards the door.

Breakfast was prepared by Tian Yuwei, because she always felt that living there was too much of a bother to Su Yue and Lin Jia, and she was always trying to find ways to repay them.

Both Su Yue and Lin Jia had told Tian Yuwei several times that she didn't need to do this, but Tian Yuwei was still stubborn about wanting to repay them. The two couldn't win against Tian Yuwei and could only tacitly agree to her actions in the end.

Anyway, they both ate lunch at the company, and occasionally had dinners or social events in the evening, so Tian Yuwei didn't need to do much for them.

However, after spending this time together, the three of them became completely familiar with each other.

The originally cold house also gained a sense of home, and Lin Jia, who used to attend social events frequently, has been going out less often lately.

"I have something at the company today, so I'll leave first."

Seeing Su Yue about to leave, Lin Jia also got up and walked out.

"I'm pretty much done eating too, let's go together."

Tian Yuwei watched the two leave together, wanting to stop them, but having no reason to, could only watch them leave.

Tian Yuwei looked at Su Yue's obviously somewhat hurried back and sighed helplessly, thinking whether her resuming work was a good thing or a bad thing.

She knew that if she really resumed work, she would definitely be very busy afterward. At that time, she wouldn't have the chance to get along with the two of them so leisurely, and perhaps she would move out of this small home soon.

Although she had only lived there for a few days, Tian Yuwei felt very unhappy thinking about leaving this place.

However, she had indeed troubled them for a long time, and it was time for her to leave this rare warm place.

Su Yue was busy avoiding Tian Yuwei just now and only realized after coming out that his company and Lin Jia's were in opposite directions.

He turned on his electric scooter and looked back at Lin Jia.

"Then I'll go first."

Lin Jia looked directly at Su Yue, "Want a ride?"

Su Yue shook his head, "No need, our companies are too far apart. That would affect your work."

Lin Jia explained, "I have something I want to tell you."

Hearing this, Su Yue, who was about to get on his electric scooter, paused slightly. He quickly reacted.

"Is that fat guy bothering you again? Don't worry, I won't let him get away with it."

Lin Jia shook her head, "No, I heard that Zhu Hua specifically went to your company to cause trouble for you. I wanted to ask if you're okay. I'm sorry, this matter is my fault for dragging you into it."

Lin Jia also remembered dragging Su Yue into this and potentially causing him trouble only after hearing Zhu Hua and Zhu Yuanyuan's warnings at a gathering.

As expected, the reality was just as she feared. Zhu Hua actually specifically went to Far View (Yuantu) to target Su Yue. Lin Jia was very angry when she learned about this but didn't know what to do to spare Su Yue from all this trouble.

In fact, Lin Jia had also been having a difficult time these past few days. Zhu Hua and Zhu Yuanyuan were harder to deal with than she expected. They now considered her an enemy, and even other socialites and young masters were hesitant to stay too close to her.

However, Lin Jia hadn't lived all these years for nothing. Although she was in a difficult situation now, it wasn't hopeless. She just needed some time to get through this tough period.

But Su Yue's situation was different from hers, and Su Yue was dragged into this by her, which was her mistake to begin with.

Upon hearing that Su Yue was targeted by Zhu Hua using the company, Lin Jia cursed Zhu Hua for being shameless in her heart but also felt somewhat helpless.

The Zhu family still had a huge, insurmountable gap compared to ordinary people like them.

Su Yue wasn't as nervous or worried as Lin Jia. He shook his head, "I'm fine, that big fat guy is no match for me."

Lin Jia frowned, "But he's the client, you..."

Su Yue was a bit surprised by Lin Jia's worry. He was a little confused, "Lin Jia, didn't you know that President Lan taught that fat guy a lesson for me? That fat guy can't use the client excuse to torment me."

Lin Jia was also very surprised by what Su Yue said. She honestly shook her head.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't know about this. So President Lan stepped in to help you? Then I feel relieved."

Lin Jia also heard about this from other colleagues, but they didn't know much either, so Lin Jia really didn't know that Lan Zijun had actually stepped in for Su Yue.

For some reason, Lin Jia felt a hint of sourness in her heart, feeling very uncomfortable.

Seeing Lin Jia's troubled expression, Su Yue thought she was still worried about him and comforted her.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. But you, if that fat guy messes with you, you must tell me. I'll make him learn how to be a person again."

Hearing Su Yue's comfort, the sourness in Lin Jia's heart immediately dissipated. She felt an urge to tell him everything that had happened to her these past few days and complain to him.

However, Lin Jia ultimately held back, shaking her head with a smile, "I'm fine too, he can't hurt me."

Su Yue nodded when he saw this.

Since their companies were in different directions, Lin Jia ultimately didn't insist on giving Su Yue a ride, and Su Yue rode his electric scooter to the company himself.

In fact, this modified electric scooter wasn't much slower than a small car, and during morning rush hour, riding an electric scooter was much faster than a small car. Su Yue still really liked his vehicle.

After successfully clocking in, Su Yue had just opened his computer when he received a message from Lan Zijun.

"Are you at the company? Come up for a moment."

Su Yue was a little surprised. This was the first time Lan Zijun had so directly asked him to come to her office. Had something happened?

Su Yue thought for a moment but couldn't figure out what could be so important that Lan Zijun would call him to her office first thing in the morning.

Unable to figure it out, Su Yue stopped thinking and got up to take the elevator upstairs.

Li Haoyang had just arrived at the office and saw Su Yue leaving again. He was a bit strange, "Su Ge, where are you going?"

Su Yue knew that Li Haoyang was especially fond of gossip, particularly about him and Lan Zijun, and didn't want to be watched like a monkey by the whole company again.

So Su Yue lied without changing his expression, "Getting paid to poop."

As expected, when Li Haoyang heard Su Yue say this, his curiosity vanished. He nodded, "Oh, I see, getting paid to poop. I thought you were going to see President Lan first thing in the morning."

Su Yue: "..."

Although Li Haoyang said this calmly, Su Yue could still see that he really wanted to see Su Yue go to Lan Zijun.

But how could Su Yue admit it? So he rolled his eyes at Li Haoyang.

"Didn't wake up first thing in the morning?"

Li Haoyang chuckled foolishly, covering his head, "Su Ge, how did you know? I was reading fanfiction about you and President Lan all night, got hooked and read until almost dawn. I really haven't woken up yet."

Su Yue hadn't expected to elicit such explosive news. He was silent for a long time and finally said, "Send it to me."

Li Haoyang immediately smiled even happier. He nodded, "No problem! There's a lot of good stuff here, I'll send it to you later."

Su Yue was worried that if he continued talking to Li Haoyang, the other party might talk about some indescribable content. He waved his hand and walked out.

"Alright, I'm going first."

Li Haoyang nodded and didn't control his volume at all, "Go ahead, Su Ge, I'll also go get paid to poop with you later. I have a lot of bathroom reading material and was just looking for someone to share it with."

Su Yue instantly felt those familiar hot, gossipy stares and felt like killing Li Haoyang.

In the end, he just glared at Li Haoyang, walked towards the restroom, and when no one was paying attention, turned and walked towards the emergency exit next to it.

Su Yue didn't dare take the elevator at this time. Otherwise, if someone saw him going to see Lan Zijun first thing in the morning, it would be hard for him to explain again.

Although Su Yue also felt that not explaining was fine, if he really didn't explain, those people might spread even more rumors about them.

He didn't care about the content of the rumors, but he felt uncomfortable being constantly pointed at and discussed. Reducing the opportunities for them to spread rumors was also good.

However, Su Yue clearly forgot that Yang Qingmei was President Lan's Secretary, and Yang Qingmei was Li Haoyang's girlfriend.

As long as he came up to see Lan Zijun, Yang Qingmei would know, and this matter wouldn't be hidden from Li Haoyang.

As soon as Su Yue pushed open the emergency exit door, he made eye contact with Yang Qingmei, who had just come out of the elevator. Su Yue instantly saw the aura of gossip in her eyes.

Yang Qingmei had a good relationship with Su Yue, so she directly teased him without ceremony.

"Su Yue, coming to see President Lan first thing in the morning? I wonder if President Lan is here yet. Want me to go check?"

He clearly knew Yang Qingmei was deliberately trying to trick him into talking, but Su Yue still had to fall for it.

He said somewhat helplessly, "President Lan asked me to come up."

"Oh~ Is that so? Then hurry up and go." Yang Qingmei was excited, looking like she had just witnessed a great scene.

The moment Su Yue saw Yang Qingmei, he regretted it. If he had known he would run into Yang Qingmei, he wouldn't have taken the emergency exit. What was originally a normal matter now seemed suspicious because he took the emergency exit.

Yang Qingmei couldn't control her curious and gossipy expression at all.

Su Yue felt a little headache but still didn't pay attention to the woman with a face full of gossip. He knocked on Lan Zijun's door.

"Come in," a woman's gentle and pleasant voice came from inside.

When Su Yue walked in, he found that Liang Yuzhu was also inside. The moment he saw Liang Yuzhu eating breakfast, Su Yue instantly understood why Lan Zijun had suddenly called him.

Lan Zijun also spoke at this moment, "Su Yue, Liang Yuzhu actually came to see you today. Because she was busy all night and just left Police Station, she thought you should be at the company at this time, so she came to find you first."

Su Yue nodded knowingly, "I know."

Liang Yuzhu also put down her chopsticks at this time and looked up at Su Yue.

Liang Yuzhu was clearly just as Lan Zijun said, having been busy all night. Her face showed obvious exhaustion and dark circles under her eyes. Her eyes were so swollen that she looked like she could lie down on the ground and fall asleep at any moment.
