CHAPTER 344: CHAPTER 344: I LOVE YOU (118)

"You’re back?"

"How did he come to live here?" Su Changzhi’s expression was cold, making it quite clear that he did not welcome Long Yubei.

"Ah, it’s like this, he invested in our company’s TV series and said he wanted to come here to recuperate for a while."

"So... you agreed?" Su Changzhi’s tone slightly deepened, "Aren’t you afraid that Ninth Prince will get angry when he finds out?"

Long Yubei quickly responded upon hearing Su Changzhi mention this, "Why should he be angry? Although Lili was saved by him, if his favor is used to claim her life as his own, it seems alright on the surface, but upon closer inspection, his favor can no longer be called a favor. It has turned into a transaction, in other words, because he saved her, her life belongs to him. This is a coerced transaction, the other party has no power to refuse."

Su Changzhi replied, "You’re twisting the facts. If it weren’t for Ninth Prince, could Lili be standing here alive and well? Since you and Lili are already divorced, you should act as an ex-husband should and not pester Lili shamelessly, causing her trouble as the president of a corporation."

"I’m sorry, I don’t know what an ex-husband should do, but I do know that even though we’re divorced, I still have the right to pursue her."

Su Changzhi’s eyes were frosty as he turned to Gu Lili, "If Ninth Prince does not agree to him living here, would you still insist on letting him stay?"

Gu Lili found it impossible to explain to him, "Ninth Prince isn’t unaware, is he? Besides, I have nothing to do with him, he’s just staying temporarily like you are."

Long Yubei hastily interjected, "Exactly, there’s nothing between Lili and me, things are crystal clear. If you can stay, why can’t I?"

The lines on Su Changzhi’s face tensed up, clearly showing his displeasure.

"Where is he staying?"

"On the sofa."

Su Changzhi thought Long Yubei was sleeping on the living room sofa, so he didn’t say anything more.

Actually, Long Yubei felt somewhat pleased inside because when Su Changzhi asked her, she did not say that she would kick him out if Ninth Prince really objected.

"How did your visit go?"

"Two kids were tied to a live stake, and the police station didn’t immediately handle the case when they received the report, mainly because Chunjiang Bridge is under the responsibility of Commander Wang’s son from City B, but now that it’s blown up, it’s probably going to be difficult to get under control." Gu Lili sat down on the sofa beside her, "I’ll go have another look tonight."

"I’m going back to my room to talk."

Seeing that he was very unhappy with Long Yubei’s arrival, Gu Lili stood up and followed him into his room.

"Are you angry?"

"What exactly are you thinking?" Su Changzhi stared at her, "You know full well he has ill intentions toward you, yet you still let him stay here. Your company’s project already has so much investment; there’s absolutely no need to accept more from his company. What he’s doing, it’s very apparent, he wants to remarry you. You see it, yet you inexplicably accept and don’t refuse?"

Gu Lili stepped forward, pressed him to sit down on the edge of the bed, and whispered, "I know his thoughts, and I know his obsession, but it’s up to me to accept or not. If I don’t accept it, what can he do?"

"You be the judge of that."

After Gu Lili left, Su Changzhi sat there, his face stern and cold.

"Liangzi, you’re going to act in a TV series invested by LN Media?" President Su twirled the pen in his hand, "Although I’ve heard it’s a big production, LN is a new, small workshop company. Wouldn’t participating in their TV series be a bit beneath you?"
