Chapter 572: Don't Lie to Me

。At that moment, he was filled with anxiety and worry. He had driven for two hours from Senzhou to see her, but she was busy and didn't pay him any attention. 。I don't have time to meet you today, i...She stopped in her tracks, her elation from earlier slowly returning to calm. It wasn't a surprise from Gu Ruandong after all.

Do Yu Yu and Xu Zhao know each other

and are closely related.

This was her current understanding, a thought popped up, but it quickly disappeared and she didn't think about it further. It's normal to get to know someone, isn't it

She slowed her pace, walking expressionlessly toward the hotel.

Xǔ Shòu and Yú Yù both saw her at that time.

"Miss Lu."

"Yaoyao, it's time to clock out"

Yu Yu and Xu Zhao greeted each other in unison.

Xu Zhao: "Yu Yu, do you know YaoYao too"

Yu Yu: "Nice to meet you, we've met a few times."

Xu Zhao warmly said, "That's just great, let's go have a meal together."

Lu Yaoyao didn't like Yu Yu and Xu Zhao, nor did she want to have dinner with them. Especially after the surprise turned into disappointment just now, she hadn't adjusted her mood yet, but somehow, she left her assistant and went with them.

I just want to see how well they know each other.

"How could you have time to visit" Xu Zhao asked Yu Yu.

"I happened to be here on business and knew you were filming here, so I came by to see you."

"It's been a while since I last went to Senzhou. I was planning to visit you after finishing my work." Xu Zhao's home is in the capital, but many events are held in Senzhou, so she often goes there.

Lu Yaoyao was never the type to be able to keep things down.

A person who holds their breath, so after pretending for a while, they still couldn't help but ask

"Are you guys close"

Yu Yu smiled but didn't speak.

Xu Zhao replied, “Of course, when I first debuted, I often saw producers or directors at the Baoli Club. Many things were helped by Yu Yu.”

She rose to fame in college thanks to a film, but many times, good scripts or teams still require one to fight for them. After all, the entertainment industry is not short of famous stars. However, some directors or producers like to make inappropriate advances or use suggestive or teasing language. Xu Zhao was just a university student back then and struggled to handle it. Yu Yu always stepped in to protect her, so over time, she preferred meeting potential collaborators at Baoli Club whenever discussing work.

Yu Yu said: "At that time, I was just following orders. I didn't expect that you could really make it in the entertainment industry."

Xu Zhao: “That's also because you care. If I depended on Gu Ruandong to protect me, I might have been taken advantage of a long time ago and wouldn't be able to stand firm in the entertainment industry like I am now.”

Due to Lu Yaoyao's question, both of them couldn't help but recall the past.

Lu Yaoyao's mind was buzzing: "Are you close with Gu Ruandong"

She blurted out, remembering that time she had asked Gu Ruandong if he knew Xu Zhao. Gu Ruandong had only said that he knew him, but not well.

Thinking about this, she glanced at Yu Yu again.

Yu Yu knew about her relationship with Gu Ruandong.

But Yu Yu turned her head away, avoiding her gaze.

To Lu Yaoyao, this was obviously a guilty expression.

Xu Zhao smiled: “Gu Ruandong is a cold-blooded person. Who knows him”

He claimed to be unfamiliar, but his tone clearly betrayed familiarity.

If someone else said this.

Lu Yaoyao might not have cared at all, but coming from Xu Zhao's mouth, she couldn't think rationally. Her face was a little pale as she sat there, but enduring it wasn't her character. After a long while, when the dense, needle-like pain in her heart subsided, she coldly said to Xu Zhao:

“May I speak with Yu Yu alone for a few minutes”

She didn't want to speculate on the relationship between Gu Ruandong and Xu Zhao, nor did she want to misunderstand Gu Ruandong. So she wanted to get to know Yu Yu first.

She wanted to get Xu Zhao away so she could chat with Yu Yu alone. Although Xu Zhao felt a little confused, he politely stepped aside for the time being.

Once she left, Lu Yaoyao went straight to the point.

“What is her relationship with Gu Ruandong”

She looked at Yu Yu, her face calm on the surface but her heart was in turmoil. She had said that she didn't care about Gu Ruandong's past, but if he were with her, she wouldn't tolerate any deception.

Yu Yu: "What capacity is Miss Lu asking in"

"What do you think" Lu Yaoyao didn't want to go back and forth.

"Why don't you just ask Shao Gu yourself I don't feel obligated to tell you, and besides, I have no interest in getting involved in your affairs." Yu Yu wasn't a pushover either. Regardless of one's status or position, she had the right to choose whether or not to speak.

Lu Yaoyao: "You put on quite a show today, didn't you Just to let me know about your relationship with Xu Zhao You saw Qiao Jiao's photos, knew that I and Xu Zhao were at the same hotel, so you came here on purpose Does Gu Ruandong know you're here"

Lu YaoYao wasn't stupid. As a woman, she knew Yu Yu had feelings for Gu Ruandong. But her pride and confidence made her completely indifferent to it.

Yu Yu

I didn't expect Lu Yaoyao to say this to my face. My face turned slightly pale, but I remained calm.

Miss Lu has a rich imagination.

The two's conversation ended there. When Xu Zhao came in, Lu YaoYao excused herself and left.

"What's going on" Xu Zhao asked Yu Yu.

"It's alright, little princess temper."

Lu Yaoyao walked back to the hotel with a pale face, Xu Shao and Yu Yu's words from tonight still echoing in her mind.

Yu Yu said: I'm just following orders.

Xu Zhao said: That's because you have a kind heart, hoping Gu Ruandong will protect me...

To whom she was entrusted with protection, is now clear as day.

The assistant saw that her face was not good when she came back, thinking to herself: Did she get bullied by Xu Zhao again

So he advised, "Let's just avoid her from now on. There's no need to interact with her anyway."

"Why do I have to walk around her Don't you all think I'm not as good as her" In front of her assistant, she couldn't hold back her emotions.

"No, our Yaoyao is the best little fairy in the world, no one can compare to her."

The assistant didn't know her true feelings, only thinking it was another losing argument with Xu Zhao as usual, so the consolation was a bit perfunctory.

Lu Yaoyao simply lay down on the bed, covering her head with the blanket, not wanting to speak anymore.

Not until very late did Gu Ruandong send a video request, and she still answered it, but without turning on the lights in her room, it was pitch black.

"Are you asleep" he asked.

"Well, I'm a bit tired today." He didn't feel like talking anymore.

"Okay, good night then."

Just as she was about to start the video call, she suddenly called out his name again.

"Huh"

"You should never lie to me."

"No."

"I trust you."

She thought, perhaps the one who loves more might unconsciously become humble or even timid.

They don't even have the courage to pursue the truth.

Lu Yáo cannot tolerate such a compromising situation. It's hard for her to keep things bottled up inside.
