Two minutes later, led by the waitress, Xiao Tianyu arrived at the door of private room number fifteen. Opening the door, he saw four people inside, two of whom were Murong Tiancheng and Lisa.
"Come and sit down!" Gu Xiao said indifferently to Xiao Tianyu. Before coming here, he had already looked into Xiao Tianyu's background and found nothing—just an unemployed drifter without any formal job.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu's expression remained emotionless. He chose a seat to sit down, and in no time, delicious dishes were served on the table. All of them were quite expensive, probably worth over a hundred thousand in total.
"I'm afraid you've never had these dishes before!" Murong Tiancheng smiled faintly, but the sarcasm in his eyes was evident. He continued, "But of course, such a high-end five-star hotel isn't affordable for just anyone!"
"Tiancheng, how can you speak like that?" Lisa giggled at Murong Tiancheng. "Maybe he's just hiding his real capabilities!"
"Yes, yes, it was my mistake, darling. What would you like to eat?" Murong Tiancheng chuckled. "This African Long Family delicacy is delicious, but one piece costs ten thousand!"
Xiao Tianyu couldn't be bothered with them and instead spoke to Gu Xiao, "So, speak, what do you want to discuss?"
"Since you put it that way, I'll get straight to the point!" Gu Xiao said, "The Gu Corporation, I assume you've heard of it in Fengzhou City. It's one of the top ten financial institutions, with total assets of 150 billion!"
"Never heard of it!" Xiao Tianyu replied.
Xiao Tianyu wasn't the kind of person to waste time finding out about Gu Corporation.
"Never heard of it?" Ruan Lingyu looked surprised. In Fengzhou City, the Gu Corporation is so famous, and yet he's never heard of it? I guess he thinks he can't reach that high, right?
So Ruan Lingyu said to Xiao Tianyu, "Whether you've heard of it or not, as Gu Yunxi's mother, I naturally have to think about Gu Yunxi's future happiness. So I think you should disappear from Gu Yunxi's life from now on!"
"Are you threatening me?" Xiao Tianyu's expression turned cold. "What if I disagree?"
Originally, Xiao Tianyu intended to explain his relationship with Gu Yunxi, but now, with this couple's aggressive tone, he didn't mind letting them continue their misunderstanding.
"Disagree?"
"Ha ha!"
Ruan Lingyu chuckled twice, a cold sneer flashing in her beautiful eyes. "I believe you will agree. Just name your price, ten million, or twenty million?"
Throwing money at me?
Xiao Tianyu sneered inwardly. More and more shallow people like this exist in the world. Does he really need this twenty million?
So Xiao Tianyu took out the check given to him by Gu Yunxi and said calmly, "Sorry, your daughter promised me that as long as I'm with her, she'll give me fifteen million a month. So I'm not interested in your twenty million at all!"
What?
With these words, Gu Xiao and Ruan Lingyu abruptly stood up, eyes wide with terror as they stared at the check in Xiao Tianyu's hand, which bore Gu Yunxi's personal signature—there was no mistake.
Did the girl lose her mind? Having a boyfriend and even subsidizing him?
"Auntie, I told you, this guy getting close to Yunxi is obviously after your family's money!" Murong Tiancheng remarked disdainfully.
But Lisa beside him pouted, "Tiancheng, look, look, you've never given me so much money. You're not even as generous as a woman. Yunxi is supporting a kept man, shelling out fifteen million a month. What about you? You never really loved me, boohoo..."
"Baby, don't be mad. I'll write you a blank check when we get home, okay?"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
"I knew Tiancheng loved me the most!"
"..."
Then Murong Tiancheng sneered at Xiao Tianyu, "Since you're with my sister-in-law for the money, let me give you a piece of advice. With fifteen million, it's wise to leave her. Otherwise, you might end up penniless, and this fifteen million is something you can never earn in a lifetime!"
"Are you speaking to me?" Xiao Tianyu's expression remained calm.
"Of course, I'm talking to you!"
"Do you know the consequences of threatening me?" Xiao Tianyu asked.
"Consequences? Ha ha, what consequences? I don't see any." Murong Tiancheng held Lisa, full of disdain—a poor loser, an average guy one can find on the street, talking about consequences? Ridiculous.
"I hope you'll still have those words to say later!" Xiao Tianyu's voice remained as calm as ever.
"Hee hee hee~"
Lisa giggled, "Tiancheng, he's threatening you, saying he might take your life later!"
"Oh, I'm so scared!" Murong Tiancheng patted his chest.
"Enough, all of you quiet down!" Gu Xiao huffed, locking eyes on Xiao Tianyu, and continued, "I've already investigated your background—no connections, no proper job, so you're not worthy of my Yunxi!"
After speaking, Gu Xiao opened his briefcase, took out a bank card, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Xiao Tianyu. He continued, "This card contains fifty million ancient coins. As long as you leave Yunxi, this fifty million is yours. This money is enough to buy a car, a house, and find a beautiful wife!"
"Money is nothing more than a number to me!" Xiao Tianyu's voice was flat.
"Don't pretend to be so noble!" Ruan Lingyu's voice dripped with disdain. "If you want an outrageous amount, just speak!"
With these words, Ruan Lingyu took a blank check from her purse, placed it in front of Xiao Tianyu, and continued, "Fill it in. Whatever you want, fill it in. The Gu family has plenty of money!"
"Auntie, aren't you making it too easy for him?" Murong Tiancheng expressed his bewilderment. Does breaking up with Gu Yunxi really require such a high price?
A blank check for him to fill?
However, the next moment, Xiao Tianyu pulled out a stack of checks from his pocket, tore off one, placed it on the table, and said, "You can write any amount you want, even astronomical numbers will do!"
"..."
Dumbfounded, Xiao Tianyu's words left everyone present—Gu Xiao, Ruan Lingyu, Murong Tiancheng, and Lisa—in shock. You can write any amount, even astronomical numbers?
"Are you kidding?"
"I think he is!"
"He's an absolute fool!" After a long pause, Murong Tiancheng sneered with disdain in his eyes—a poor loser without a proper job, handing out random checks for people to fill in? Can they even be cashed? What a joke! Does he really think he's a legendary figure of Dao Power International?
