The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 725 - 723: I Won’t Be Lenient With You Anymore

"You can abandon her for Tongtong, so why are you forcing me to be with her?" Ning Zesheng sighed, "You agreed to let her into YT Entertainment just so she could be with me and cut off her feelings for you. But senior, you’ve found the person you like; why do you have to force me to be with someone who likes you? I have someone I like too!"

After a long pause, Lu Beichen sighed, "Will your father agree to you breaking off the engagement with Xi Yao? After all, the Gu and Ning Families’ marriage alliance has helped your Ning Family a lot over the years."

His question implied a concession, and Ning Zesheng’s expression finally relaxed a bit, "I can deal with it first and report later, besides if I annul the engagement with Gu Xiyao, my mother and brother will definitely be pleased and will help me."

Without the Gu Family’s marriage alliance, they wouldn’t have to worry about him going back to seize the Ning Family!

Lu Beichen reached out and patted his shoulder, "Xi Yao used to be my little niece, growing up with me, I was indeed lenient with her before. However, if she really did something wrong, just like back then, I won’t let it go. But if it’s simply that you feel the two of you aren’t suited..."

He hinted something, Ning Zesheng nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ll handle it beautifully, letting Xi Yao get out unscathed, without implicating the Gu Family!"

Lu Beichen nodded, "I’ll head over first!"

He strode out and had just opened the door when he saw Gu Xiyao crouching in a corner nearby, shivering. Lu Beichen frowned and walked over, standing in front of her, looking down at her.

Seeing those leather shoes, Gu Xiyao quickly stood up, a touch of color returning to her pale face, "Little Uncle, how did the conversation go?"

"Do you really want to marry Ning Zesheng?" Lu Beichen looked down into her eyes.

Gu Xiyao smiled, gentle as usual, "We’re engaged to be married, of course we should!"

Lu Beichen slightly raised an eyebrow, casually took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, "Xi Yao, back then I hastily arranged for you to get engaged to Ning Zesheng without considering your feelings. So now, no matter what you’ve done, I’ll be a bit more lenient with you."

What does this mean?!

Gu Xiyao widened her eyes, looking at the man in front of her.

He remained expressionless and merely said, "Your engagement is indeed a joke! You’re not suited to be any artist director. Ning Zesheng and I will handle the matter of breaking the engagement, then you’ll live well in Paris."

"Little Uncle...?" She looked at him incredulously, "Did Ning Zesheng say something to you?"

"He said a lot." Lu Beichen replied flatly.

Gu Xiyao’s heart trembled, she reached out to grab his arm, "Little Uncle, listen to me, I didn’t do it on purpose, I really didn’t. I feel guilty every night for not being able to save Tongtong back then, I can’t sleep. Little Uncle, please don’t blame me, okay?"

She tried hard to remain calm and maintain her composed demeanor, but the words she spoke trembled!

"Whether or not you did it on purpose, I’ve said I don’t blame you, so let’s not mention it again!" His face showed a hint of cold indifference.

Gu Xiyao’s hand trembled, seeing Ning Zesheng standing at the door looking at her, she hesitated for a moment, then heard Lu Beichen say, "Don’t look at him, he’s not someone who speaks randomly. You grew up with me, I thought I knew you very well, but... Xi Yao, from now on I’m not your Little Uncle anymore and won’t be lenient with you! This coat is the last of my kindness to you, take care!"

Gu Xiyao seemed struck by lightning, stunned for a long time before withdrawing her hand, taking a deep breath, and tightening the coat Lu Beichen draped over her tighter around herself, "I understand, Little Uncle. Since even you think we’re not suitable, then I will annul the engagement with Ning Zesheng! I’ll speak with my father and mother myself! Now I’m still the artist director at YT Entertainment, I need to complete the final cultural ceremony!"

She turned and wrapped herself up as she walked away, as if trying to escape everything!
