Chapter 44: How Come She Sounds So Much Like Jian Yao?

Gu Zhiyan’s identity is special. When he first entered the esports scene, it caused quite a stir.

Over the years, although he has kept a low profile, he has been shrouded in a mystery about his sexual orientation.

Now, after being out of the esports scene for many years, he attended an event for the first time, bringing his newlywed wife. The attention he garnered wasn’t just from esports fans.

There were also a bunch of bigwigs who wanted to climb the ladder of the Gu family.

With the support of various forces, the hot search term “Gu Shen Takes Wife Live, Full of Sweetness” was closely followed by “Who is Gu Shao’s Mysterious Sweet Wife?”.

Several companies that had recently partnered with Gu’s were thoroughly investigated by netizens. After excluding those who were already married or too old, two families remained: Xu’s Entertainment’s heiress Xu Si and Ming’s Pharmaceutical’s Pearl.

They not only ate melon seeds themselves but also dug up a bunch of old stories as evidence, analyzing them in detail.

One said that Xu Si and Gu Shao were college classmates, while another said that Ming Zhu and Gu Shao knew each other from kindergarten. Both sides argued their points, refusing to yield.

Thus, online voting began for who would ultimately become Gu Shao’s wife.

Lu Group Headquarters.

Wu Yue finally finished a wave of work, rubbed his sore eyes, and went to get coffee.

After Jian Yao resigned, Lu Chengze’s stubborn temper flared up again. To prove that he could handle things without Jian Yao, he put up all the vacant houses and cars in his name for sale.

Because he urgently needed money, he spent a day contacting buyers, each of whom tried to take advantage of the situation and drive down the price. After a whole day, none of them had bought anything.

He originally planned to contact Xu Si, asking her to buy these properties and cars at market price. They would buy them back later when Brother Lu had the money.

After all, she was as close to Jian Yao as two peas in a pod. In the future, when Jian Yao married Brother Lu, wouldn’t Brother Lu’s assets belong to Jian Yao? Helping them was like helping Jian Yao.

Unexpectedly, this woman didn’t even give him a chance to speak.

Wu Yue sighed.

If he had known this, he wouldn’t have been so stiff with her. He didn’t even have her personal contact information.

Everyone else in the company had already left work. Wu Yue stood alone in the pantry, took a big gulp of coffee, and finally felt like he was coming back to life.

He picked up his phone to check the time, but immediately saw the push notification.

【Gu Shen Takes Wife Live, Full of Sweetness.】

Wu Yue held his coffee cup, his eyes filled with confusion. “Gu Shen? Gu Zhiyan?”

“Didn’t he quit esports? What kind of live stream? Did he switch to selling goods?”

Could it be?

Although live streaming is now making a fortune from selling goods, there’s no need to lower oneself.

Surely the Gu family’s direct descendants wouldn’t stoop to that level?

Full of doubt, Wu Yue clicked on Weibo.

The page directly jumped to the pushed notification.

He glanced at the text and clicked on the attached video.

The video was clearly a live stream recording. The streamer didn’t show their face, but through the bullet comments and voice, it could be discerned that the live stream was indeed Gu Zhiyan himself.

In this part of the video, the game characters barely moved, but through the voice, it could be heard that he was teaching people how to play the game.

It was very basic gameplay, but his explanations were detailed and patient.

At the end of the video, he asked softly, “Did you remember?”

A familiar, soft voice replied softly, “I think so.”

Upon hearing this female voice, Wu Yue choked on his coffee, coughing violently.

This voice…

How come it sounds so much like Jian Yao?

He must have heard wrong.

The girl only spoke a few words, and her voice was very soft.

He must have misheard.

He couldn’t care less about the spilled coffee, grabbed two napkins to wipe the coffee stains off his clothes, and clicked on the next video, trying to find more of the woman’s voice in the video.

The second video switched to a different livestream, showing the girl’s perspective, and the video was longer.

The first half of the video showed her using smoke grenades and grenades to kill two people, followed by Gu Zhiyan’s praise, and he gave her a signal gun.

In the second half, a group of people went to block the bridge, and the girl used smoke grenades to clear the way for her teammates until they won the game.

She didn’t say much, only a few sentences.

“Is that right?”

“Thank you.”

“I have smoke…”

“I’m smoking in front, follow me.”

“I can’t fight, it’s safer to pick up more smoke when escaping.”

“But isn’t the rule of this game that the last one alive wins?”

“This is my first time winning!”

Wu Yue listened to these short sentences repeatedly, and the more he listened, the more he felt like Jian Yao.

But how could that be possible?

That’s Gu Zhiyan!

Not to mention that Jian Yao and Gu Zhiyan had little interaction.

Just in terms of family background, the Jian family and the Gu family were worlds apart. How could the Gu family look down on Jian Yao?

Don’t be ridiculous!

Wu Yue thought this in his heart, but he couldn’t help but tremble, reaching out to support the bar counter to steady himself.

He went through the recent events in his mind.

The cold reception he received when he went to the Jian family to deliver the list, his disappearance for days, not even answering Brother Lu’s calls.

On the day of the engagement, he knew that Brother Lu was coming back, but he still held the engagement ceremony according to the original time, and left without waiting for Brother Lu to arrive.

He refused to contact the Li family to buy time, and he was willing to resign and leave Lu’s company.

Each of these things, taken individually, seemed like he was throwing a tantrum, but when all of them were put together, they were all unusual.

Jian Yao loved Brother Lu so much, and she had been jealous before, but she had never been so angry.

Moreover, she was not someone who mixed business with pleasure, and she never brought her personal emotions into work.

This time, such a big deal with the Li family, she actually refused to help.

Now that things have come to this, is Jian Yao really just throwing a tantrum?

Wu Yue suddenly became uncertain.

He clenched his phone, swallowed, took a deep breath, “No, I have to talk to Brother Lu about this.”

Wu Yue turned and went upstairs with his phone.

Several of the assistants in the president’s office had been dismissed, and the lights in the secretary’s office were on, but it was empty.

The door to the president’s office was not closed tightly, and he could faintly hear Lu Chengze’s angry voice and a soft, delicate female voice, seemingly being reprimanded.

Thinking that the one who caused such a big mess was Liu Yiyi’s brother, Wu Yue also had a grudge in his heart.

He stood at the door for a while, listening to the reprimanding inside, before pushing open the door to the president’s office.

Seeing Wu Yue come in, Assistant Lin lowered his head slightly and called out, “Vice President Wu.”

Liu Yiyi also had red eyes, looking pitiful as she nodded to Wu Yue as a greeting.

Wu Yue directly ignored Liu Yiyi and walked to Lu Chengze, turning his head to ask the two to leave first.
