Chapter 246

Jin Shaoyu saw Chu Yi's face turn pale and spoke even more gleefully: "This is also where you are smart."

"You know my brother doesn't like those who are arrogant, conceited, overbearing, paranoid, or have a dark psyche, so you do the opposite and wrap yourself in generosity, sincerity, and kindness."

"Aren't you being contradictory?"

"Aren't you tired?"

Chu Yi had a very firm temperament; he quickly adjusted his emotions and did not let himself be led by the nose: "I am not tired, thank you for your concern."

It was impossible for Chu Yi to hold anything against Jin Shaoyu; after all, Jin Shaoyu was not a bad person, and he was Ling Wu's younger brother—if not for the monk's sake, he had to consider the Buddha's.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Jin Shaoyu was convinced that he had schemed to approach Ling Wu, then deceived him to gain his trust, and was using Ling Wu to help him stir up trouble in the Empire.

On the surface, this understanding was not wrong.

After all, Ling Wu had almost died.

Mentioning this, Chu Yi's heart sank abruptly.

He could not let this situation happen again; he could not bear even the slightest risk.

Jin Shaoyu simply could not fathom how Chu Yi's skin could be so thick; he took a drink and continued: "I advise you to move out of my brother's house early and make a clean break."

He did not believe Ling Wu truly liked Chu Yi; from the bottom of his heart, he disliked Chu Yi and looked down on him, unilaterally declaring: "You are not worthy of my brother."

"Tell the outside world that you were dumped by my brother."

Chu Yi: "........"

This future brother-in-law of his was truly a thorny character.

With a few light, airy words, he had drawn a line between Ling Wu and him.

In fact, it was precisely this remark from Jin Shaoyu that reminded Chu Yi that his relationship with Ling Wu had not been made public; even someone as close to Ling Wu as Jin Shaoyu did not know, so others certainly did not know either.

So... he and Ling Wu were in a completely underground relationship.

Chu Yi felt very unsettled deep down.

A plan fueled by possessiveness quietly sprouted in Chu Yi's mind; he wanted to make the fact that he was dating Ling Wu known to everyone.

If Jin Shaoyu knew what Chu Yi was thinking right now, he would definitely burst into a string of curses.

Jin Shaoyu: "Hey!"

"What are you blanking out for? I'll take it that you agree."

The door opened, and a man's voice came through—"Agree to what?"

Ling Wu walked in carrying a bag of fruit, looking at the two people in the living room who were at daggers drawn with some suspicion; he soon discovered something was wrong, his gaze moving imperceptibly away from the crumpled collar of Chu Yi's shirt.

What are these two doing?

Seeing that his backer had arrived, Jin Shaoyu proudly lifted his chin, took the photo frame into his hand, and poked the nose of the person in the photo with his finger: "Who is this? Who is this?! Is this person the one sitting on the sofa over there?"

"Brother, I really didn't expect your eye for people to be so bad! He is not a good thing; he deliberately approached you and used you—can't you see that?"

"If you want me to say a fair word, you two should break up immediately."

Ling Wu was left very bewildered by what he said: "........"

"That's right, Shao Yu, we are together."

Ling Wu felt a bit apologetic; he had originally planned to tell Jin Shaoyu and Qin Zhonglian after things with Chu Yi had stabilized, but he hadn't expected Jin Shaoyu to launch a surprise attack and see the photo.

Chu Yi, on the sofa, kept his head lowered; the collar of his well-tailored handmade shirt had been violently tugged until it was all wrinkled, making him look very pitiful.

Ling Wu knew Jin Shaoyu's impulsive temper, so he sighed: "Shao Yu, come with me to the room."
