Chapter 675: Chapter 675: Are You Running a Fever?
Lin Xinbei had been drifting around for the past few years because of problems at home, but since he never mentioned it, she refrained from asking.
Gu Linxi was relatively at ease with Lin Xinbei. She patted her shoulder and comforted her, “He’s not the type to bite off more than he can chew. If he really runs into a problem he can’t solve and needs help, he’ll definitely tell us. But you…”
Gu Linxi’s tone shifted, “Have you run into some trouble? You came to me out of the blue today, and you seem more irritable than before. What’s wrong?”
Rong Yan pursed her lips; she had come to find Gu Linxi for a heart-to-heart. After a moment of hesitation, she opened up, “Xixi, if you liked a guy, but his family didn’t approve of you two being together, what would you do?”
Gu Linxi didn’t have striking features, even a bit ordinary. Yet, when put together, there was a peculiar charm that made it hard to look away. She gave her answer without a second thought, “It depends on what the guy does. If he listens to his family, then I would break up immediately. If he stands firm against his family and insists on being together, then stay together.”
It was a straightforward answer, not something you’d expect from a delicate girl like her.
Rong Yan rested her chin on her hands, her heart-shaped face scrunching up with worry, and she added another condition, “What if not breaking up with him would cause him to go bankrupt?”
“Not breaking up leads to bankruptcy?” Gu Linxi had never heard of such a scenario. She reached out and touched Rong Yan’s forehead as if checking for a fever, “Are you sick?”
“Pfft!” Rong Yan burst into laughter at her reaction, batting her hand away, “I’m not sick, I’m perfectly normal. I’m just asking.”
Gu Linxi said incredulously, “What is this, a plot from a new drama you’re shooting, or some random thought that popped into your head?”
Rong Yan raised her hands in exasperation, almost ready to swear, “I don’t plan on doing dramas. I just want to sing, compose, and make music. The last movie was an accident. So, it’s not a drama, there’s no movie. I haven’t lost my mind~!”
Gu Linxi looked at her sideways, speaking calmly, “So, are you saying your boyfriend’s family told you that if you don’t break up with him, they’ll make him go bankrupt?”
Rong Yan, “…” It could be said that way, but it seemed there was still a gap between that version and the truth.
Taking her silence as an admission, Gu Linxi concluded, “Alright, then it’s their brains that have short-circuited!”
“Not breaking up results in bankruptcy? Do they think going bankrupt is that easy, like it’s just kids playing house? Besides, I’ve seen the news. Your boyfriend is Li Shengxiao. If Li Group were that easy to bankrupt, my car repair shop would have gone under hundreds of times by now.”
She wasn’t interested in gossip, but Rong Yan was a celebrity, so she tended to pay more attention to the entertainment industry.
Rong Yan dating Li Shengxiao was hinted at vaguely in the news. However, they only mentioned that Rong Yan was ‘appreciated’ by the Li Group. Being close friends with Rong Yan, Gu Linxi could guess who ‘appreciated’ Rong Yan from Li Group.
But this was Rong Yan’s private life, and even as a good friend, it wasn’t her place to comment.
All she hoped was for her to be a little happier.
As for Li Shengxiao’s family being opposed, she wasn’t surprised at all.
