Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 638 - 639: Full Marks for Showing Off

A mere house?

Upon hearing this, Murong Pengfei sneered, "This house might bankrupt you, and you still wouldn't be able to afford it!"

"Pengfei, don't say that, she's the CEO of the Gu Corporation!" Liu Yue chimed in, "Even though it's a bankrupt corporation, she's still a CEO!"

"You all are truly shameless!" The girl at Gu Yunxi's table finally couldn't bear it and stood up, speaking, "Is it necessary to step on others' shoulders to show off on your birthday?"

"I have money and I'm happy, what business is it of yours?" Murong Pengfei coldly chuckled.

"Exactly!" Liu Yue shot a disdainful glance at the girl, "If you have the ability, have your boyfriend gift you a villa too!"

"You all..." The girl trembled with anger.

"Peng Ying, don't get angry with such people, it's not worth it!" Gu Yunxi tugged at Peng Ying's sleeve, and she finally sat back down. It was as if the other party was right; they had money, and they were happy.

At this moment, Liu Yue was undoubtedly dazzling, after all, her boyfriend was extravagant—just giving away a villa like that. Not only that, but it also slapped Gu Yunxi in the face, achieving two goals at once.

Seeing everyone's envious expressions, Liu Yue's face was full of pride; for her, this was enjoyment.

Then, Murong Pengfei said to Gu Yunxi, "Breaking off the engagement with the Murong Family for that man by your side—are you happy now? The villa you lived in is someone else's, and the Gu Corporation has been acquired by my Murong Family, don't you regret it!"

Although these words were directed at Gu Yunxi, they were undoubtedly meant to humiliate Xiao Tianyu.

"Done spewing crap?" At this time, Xiao Tianyu stretched lazily and spoke coolly.

"Not yet!"

"Then continue spewing crap!" Xiao Tianyu said.

Instantly, Murong Pengfei felt insulted by Xiao Tianyu, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, "Please speak with respect!"

"If you want respect, first respect yourself. You think you deserve respect?" Xiao Tianyu said indifferently, his gaze sweeping over Murong Pengfei, "Do you know how Murong Bai was crippled? I suppose Murong Yunlong didn't tell you!"

Thud~

Upon hearing this, a shock ran through Murong Pengfei's heart. Though he knew Murong Bai had become a eunuch, he didn't know who did it or why, as Murong Yunlong hadn't told him. Furthermore, Murong Yunlong was furious over Murong Bai these days, so Murong Pengfei dared not ask.

But he glanced at Xiao Tianyu, seeing him dressed plainly, and said, "What does it have to do with you why he was crippled?"

"It indeed has nothing to do with me!" Xiao Tianyu's voice was indifferent, just as he was about to continue speaking, Gu Yunxi interjected, "Tianyu, he's just an autumn grasshopper, jumping around for a few more days; why bother with him?"

An autumn grasshopper?

These words had another meaning, which everyone understood. The Murong Group was just an autumn grasshopper? Wasn't this statement a bit outrageous?

How could Gu Yunxi do anything to the Murong Group with her current situation? It was somewhat laughable.

"Ridiculous, my Murong Group has deep foundations. You think you can do anything against us? Your Gu Corporation has already closed down, I really don't know how you have the nerve to say such things!" Murong Pengfei coldly laughed.

"Brother Pengfei, forget it, why bother with a woman!"

"True!" Liu Yue giggled, "Gu Yunxi, I'm not criticizing you, if you found a rich boyfriend, we'd accept it. But you just had to find a kept man, so it's no wonder Pengfei targets you. Everyone knows you broke up with the Murong Family for a kept man!"

"Can you shut up now?" Xiao Tianyu's voice was extremely cold, "One mention of 'kept man' after another, are you addicted to it?"

As the words fell, a cold aura enveloped Liu Yue, causing her to tremble uncontrollably with a look of terror on her face.

Xiao Tianyu continued, "Is your boyfriend very rich?"

"At least, richer than you!" Murong Pengfei snorted, but the next second, he exclaimed, "Ah... Liu Yue, why are you pinching me?"

"Pengfei, stop talking!" Liu Yue's face turned ashen because she felt as though she was being frozen by Xiao Tianyu's gaze. That gaze was terrifying, like a prehistoric beast, ready to swallow her whole at any moment.

"Why not talk!" Murong Pengfei shouted, but when he saw Liu Yue's pale face, he couldn't help asking, "Liu Yue, what's wrong, do you have a fever? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

"I'm fine, please, just stop talking, alright?" Liu Yue looked distressed.

"Why are you afraid of a pauper?"

"..." Hearing this, Liu Yue felt speechless, her body continuing to tremble.

Xiao Tianyu said indifferently, "Is that villa really yours? I doubt it. Obviously, it's Gu Yunxi's!"

Swish swish swish~

As the words fell, all eyes in the room were on Xiao Tianyu, showing a strange expression, "What does he mean by his previous words, Gu Yunxi's? That was days ago, wasn't it? Now the villa is under Murong Pengfei's name, right."

"This poor wretch is really funny? Does he not think he's made enough of a fool of himself?"

"I really don't know why Gu Yunxi would like such a boastful poor guy! Doesn't he know he'd get struck by lightning for pretending?"

"..."

Many people secretly slandered, "A person who can't even afford a taxi, dressed so plainly, could he have any money?"

"Maybe he likes to keep a low profile!"

"Even if he likes to keep a low profile, that villa is now Murong Pengfei's property. Does he have the ability to turn it back to himself, forcibly take it?"

At this moment, Murong Pengfei was also stunned by Xiao Tianyu's words. The villa belonged to Gu Yunxi? To him, it was a joke. Currently, the villa was under his name, how could it possibly revert to Gu Yunxi's?

This act of pretending was truly, ineffably ridiculous.

As for Xiao Tianyu, he ignored the disdainful glances and took out his phone, about to make a call, but Gu Yunxi said, "There's no need to bother with such people, let's eat!"

"Bother?"

"Can he afford to bother?" Murong Pengfei sneered, this time Gu Yunxi didn't stop Xiao Tianyu. There was no choice, when someone needs a slap to the face, she could only fulfill it.

Soon, Xiao Tianyu made a call, speaking indifferently, "I want the villa in the elite residential area where Gu Yunxi used to live!"

After saying this, Xiao Tianyu hung up the phone without any expression on his face. This call was naturally made to Tianyu International, asking them to arrange it. To him, it seemed like he was doing a very ordinary thing.

"..." Hearing this, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, finished? He just called, said one sentence, and it was done? This act of pretending was invincible, I give it a perfect score.

I had something to do today and went out early, ten chapters tomorrow, thank you for the support!
