Don't meet me in your next life.

Xiang Yi gasped for breath and coughed violently.

Gu Zeyu looked down at her, mocking, "Can't even handle this? Xiang Yiyi, if you really can't stand it, then shut your stinking mouth!"

Xiang Yi looked up at him: "You..."

"Listen to me carefully," Gu Zeyu said sternly. "I am Gu Zeyu!"

"Gu Zeyu? So what if he's Gu Zeyu?"

"Gu Zeyu is the young master of one of the four major families in City A. His influence extends all over the world; he's a terrifying figure, and everyone who mentions him is filled with fear!"

Xiang Yi's pupils widened instantly.

She never imagined that one day she would hear such a title with her own ears.

Gu Zeyu looked down at her: "Are you scared now? If you are, you'd better behave yourself, otherwise, if I see you being intimate with another man again, it won't be as easy as tonight!"

Xiang Yiyi looked up at him defiantly: "Gu Zeyu, who do you think you are? What gives you the right to threaten me?! Let me tell you, even if you turn the whole world upside down, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Very good," Gu Zeyu said with a slight smile, "I hope you remember what I said today: your future will be in my hands!"

Xiang Yi scoffed, "You're dreaming!"

"Dreaming?" Gu Zeyu suddenly leaned closer to her. "Do you think I'm joking? Let me tell you, if I wanted to, I could make you wish you were dead! Do you believe me?"

Xiang Yi was startled.

She was indeed scared.

After all, she never imagined that one day she would face a situation worse than death.

However, when she saw Gu Zeyu's cold eyes, she inexplicably believed that he was not exaggerating.

"you......"

"Believe it or not!" Gu Zeyu said, then turned and left with a flourish.

Xiang Yi watched as his tall, handsome figure gradually disappeared from sight.

Gu Zeyu, I will make you pay the price!

"Mr. Gu, your coffee." The assistant placed the coffee on Gu Zeyu's desk and politely bowed as he withdrew.

Gu Zeyu picked up his coffee and took a small sip.

The rich, bitter taste spread across his tongue, and he couldn't help but frown before putting the coffee down on the table.

This coffee is too bitter!

He took out his phone and dialed a number: "Hello?"

"Mr. Gu, what are your orders?"

"Help me find out which men Xiang Yiyi has met with recently. Especially the man who had dinner with Lin Fan the other day."

"Mr. Gu..." the assistant hesitated for a moment, "that man... seems to be Lin Fan's ex-boyfriend."

Gu Zeyu's hand holding the phone froze.

He squinted: "When did they meet?"

"According to the investigation, the man visited Ms. Lin's residence approximately two weeks ago."

"What else did he say?" Gu Zeyu's tone revealed his displeasure.

"Uh... he also seemed to say..."

After hesitating for a while, the assistant finally said, "Mr. Gu, it seems that Miss Xiang likes that man."

Gu Zeyu's expression changed.

"What did you say?" he gritted his teeth. "Are you brainless? Such important news, and you're only telling me now!"

"No, no, Mr. Gu... I... I didn't dare to hide it from you... I was worried that if this got out, your image would be damaged..."

"You've got some nerve!" Gu Zeyu scoffed coldly. "Whether my image is damaged or not is none of your business."

The assistant stammered, "But...but I can't just stand by and watch your image be ruined..."

"roll!"

Gu Zeyu slammed the microphone down and broke it.

Xiang Yiyi, how dare you betray me!

He punched the glass window in the office, and blood immediately oozed from his fingers.

Does this woman even have eyes for him? Whom is she still hiding in her heart?!

As Xiang Yi walked out of the company, intending to take a car home, a black sedan suddenly stopped in front of her. The window rolled down, and a man's head popped out.

It's Shen Che.

"Miss Xiang, please get in the car."

"No need," Xiang Yi refused indifferently. "I'm going home."

Shen Che's eyes flickered: "Miss Xiang, where is Gu Zeyu?"

"Where he is is none of your business!" Xiang Yi said, then turned to leave.

“Miss Xiang!” Shen Che quickly called out to her, “I don’t know how deep your feelings are for Gu Zeyu, but he was, after all, your ex-boyfriend. Don’t you ever want to know what he’s been up to lately?”

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yi stopped in her tracks.

"What he's been doing lately is none of my business!" Xiang Yi gritted her teeth. "Let me tell you, you don't need to try and sow discord between me and Gu Zeyu anymore!"

"I didn't mean to sow discord between Gu Zeyu and you."

Shen Che said slowly, "I was just reminding you."

"What exactly do you want?" Xiang Yi stared at Shen Che warily. "Don't forget that my current fiancé is Ji Jinnian."

Shen Che sighed softly, "Although Young Master Ji is very outstanding, you should know that he is simply not right for you."

"Don't worry about that!"

"Miss Xiang, let me give you a piece of advice: it would be best if you broke up with Young Master Ji as soon as possible. It's better for everyone."

"Ha, he's not worthy!" Xiang Yi sneered. "I advise you to stop having such unrealistic ideas; you'll never have me in this lifetime."

She ignored Shen Che and walked straight towards the taxi in front of her.

However, before she could even step forward, Shen Che had already rushed in front of her and blocked her way.

"Shen Che, what exactly do you want?" Xiang Yi shouted coldly. "Get out of my way, don't force me to take action."

"I just wanted to advise you to give up on Ji Jinnian as soon as possible," Shen Che said, grabbing Xiang Yiyi's hand. "Gu Zeyu isn't worth it."

"You say he's not worth it? I'll make him worth it! Let go of me!" Xiang Yi struggled desperately, but she couldn't break free.

Seeing the growing crowd of onlookers, Xiang Yi had no choice but to give up and instead threatened Shen Che: "If you don't let me leave, I'll scream for help!"

"Heh." Shen Che glanced at her dismissively. "Go ahead and shout. No one will care if you shout until you're hoarse."

Xiang Yi gritted her teeth.

She really wanted to beat Shen Che to a pulp!

Just then, a familiar voice rang out.

"Shen Che, what are you doing?"

Xiang Yi was taken aback upon hearing this.

It's Ji Jinnian!

Shen Che was also stunned, and then released Xiang Yiyi.

As soon as Shen Che let go, Xiang Yi immediately jumped behind Ji Jinnian, watching him warily to prevent him from doing anything reckless to her again.

Shen Che stepped forward with a respectful expression.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Young Master Ji! Why did you come to pick me up in person?"

"If I hadn't come to pick you up, were you planning to stay here all day?" Ji Jinnian smiled. "Come on, get in the car, I'll take you home."

Shen Che's lips twitched slightly, and he thought to himself: You really don't want me to stay here, do you?
