Chapter 21: A Passerby in a CEO Romance Novel (21)
Whether the world is good or bad, Leyan no longer cares.
After a night of self-reflection, Le Yan decided to let them do as they pleased. After all, they couldn't kill her, so let them do whatever they wanted.
The usually carefree Le Yan now greets the impeccably dressed Shen Mubai with a smile, saying, "Good morning."
Upon receiving her smile, Shen Mubai was somewhat flattered. The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't react for a moment.
But after a moment of stunned silence, he quickly came to his senses and presented the various breakfasts in his hands to Le Yan like a treasure. Shen Mubai asked expectantly, "Do you want to eat breakfast? I went to buy it specially."
Looking at the hands described in the book as wielding scalpels with unparalleled skill, carrying various breakfast bags, Le Yan's eyes glazed over.
Before she could say anything, Gu Yunting, dressed in his pajamas, opened the door and said with a forced smile, "You don't need to do anything. I've already prepared breakfast for Leyan."
He reached out and pulled Le Yan over, and in front of Shen Mubai, Gu Yunting closed the door directly.
Shen Mubai's fingers, which were hooked around the bag, stiffened slightly. His expression darkened, and his eyes turned sinister, as if a storm was brewing in his dark pupils, as if he were about to devour everything at any moment.
He suddenly let out a cold laugh, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips. In a moment of scheming, he devised a plan to deal with Gu Yunting.
Everyone wants this treasure; how can one person have it all to themselves?

Youshi Group
In the chairman's office, You Wenwen was confronting her father.
Mr. You looked at her with a worried expression, "Wenwen, are you really determined to take over the You Group?"
He sighed inwardly. He only had one daughter in his life, and naturally, the You family's assets would all be left to her. However, Wenwen had only ever thought about pursuing Gu Yunting and had no intention of taking over the You Group.
As a father, he had no other choice but to train a professional agent for his daughter so that she could focus on doing what she loved.
He just hadn't expected that in just a few days, Wenwen would first say she wanted to break off her engagement with the Gu family, then say she had fallen in love with another girl, and now she was determined to take over the You Group. The changes were too rapid; he didn't know whether to believe her or not.
Yu Wenwen looked at her father with a determined gaze and said sincerely, "Dad, I'm sure I want to take over the Yu Group."
She simply couldn't stand being so easily suppressed by Gu Yunting anymore.
Just as Gu Yunting said, she's a pampered young lady who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun. What does she have to compete with him or take from him?
Without the ability to protect the treasure, even if she is lucky enough to snatch it, it will be taken away by someone else sooner or later.
With a burning desire for power in her eyes, You Wenwen was determined to possess the ability to seize and hide treasures. She would never again see others easily take away the treasures she desired.
No one knows a daughter better than her father. Looking into You Wenwen's eyes, her father knew that his daughter was serious this time.
With a sigh, Mr. You's face turned serious: "Since you want to take over the You Group, you have to endure all the hardships and suffering. If you can't hold on, you can give up and go back to being a pampered young lady who never lifts a finger."
Rather than training professional agents, it would be best if the You family's assets could be handed over to their daughter.
Mr. You doesn't care what motivated You Wenwen to be ambitious; he just wants his daughter to persevere, and that's enough for him.
You Wenwen understood what her father meant, and she nodded firmly, her voice resounding: "I won't give up halfway!"
Looking out the floor-to-ceiling window through her father's eyes, the towering skyscraper came into view. You Wenwen's eyes were filled with malice; sooner or later, she would trample Gu Yunting under her feet.
No one can take her away from her.

Le's mom, who went hiking with her friends, has finally returned home.
She stood blankly at the door, carrying a hiking backpack, looking at the two busy men inside, and began to wonder if she had gone to the wrong house.
She took a step back with the foot she had lifted, and looked at the house number with a serious expression. It was 1502. She hadn't gone to the wrong place!
"Um..." Le's mother couldn't help but speak up. When she saw two men with different temperaments but both handsome looks staring at her, she was immediately startled and took a step back. "Who are you? Are you Le Yan's friends?"
Gu Yunting and Shen Mubai reacted in unison, both standing there somewhat awkwardly, looking at their mothers-in-law who had suddenly returned home, at a loss for what to do.
Seeing the silence in the room, Gu Yunting quickly spoke up: "Hello, Auntie, I'm Leyan's boyfriend. Nice to meet you."
To show his sincerity, he also bowed respectfully.
Le's mother was speechless; his attitude was so sincere that she was embarrassed to say anything.
"And who is this?" Le's mother shifted her gaze to Shen Mubai. Having watched countless melodramatic TV dramas, she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild. Could he also be Le Yan's boyfriend?!
Talking about two at once? That can't be...
Gu Yunting and Shen Mubai both fell silent for a moment, realizing what Le Ma was thinking.
Shen Mubai immediately smiled and said, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Leyan's good friend. I'm sorry to bother you."
He does want to be Leyan's boyfriend, but he's still working on it.
Shen Mubai sighed inwardly. With Gu Yunting as such a roadblock, his path to pursuing love was long and arduous.
Knowing the identities of the two men in front of her, Le's mother breathed a sigh of relief. She peeked into the house for a while, but couldn't find her daughter anywhere.
All I could ask was, "What about the Leyan people?"
She left her boyfriend and friends at home, and now she's nowhere to be found. That brat deserves a beating.
Perhaps hearing her mother's nagging, Leyan cautiously peeked out of her room.
She had only retreated to her room a dozen minutes ago, not for any other reason than that she had been accidentally hurt when Gu Yunting and Shen Mubai were arguing.
It's one thing for the two of them to keep bickering and arguing, but they also keep dragging her into it, which is not good.
So, not really wanting to talk to them, Leyan made an excuse to look for something and hid in her room until she heard her mother's voice, at which point she came out.
"mom!"
"My dearest mother!"
"I miss you so much!"
Like a fledgling swallow returning to its nest, Le Yan flew past Gu Yunting and headed straight for her mother's embrace.
Gu Yunting instinctively reached out to pull her, but missed.
Seeing her affectionately hugging and acting coquettish with someone else, Gu Yunting's expression stiffened slightly, and a strong sense of displeasure and jealousy welled up in his heart.
Leyan had never been so affectionate towards him before.
Gu Yunting lowered his eyes, feeling somewhat unsettled.
Even though the other person was Leyan's mother, he was still jealous.
Even though—he knew it wasn't right.
