Chapter 158 Gu Tingyu Offers Help
Xu Rou cried her heart out, which made Gu Tingyu feel a pang of heartache.
But for Gu Tingyu, this was not a place to talk, so he could only pull Xu Rou away first.
He spoke gently, his peach blossom eyes reflecting Xu Rou's fair face.
"Rou Rou, let me take you home."
As he spoke, Gu Tingyu stretched out his left hand, trying to help Xu Rou up.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Xu Rou saw his well-defined hands through her blurred vision.
Gu Tingyu's attitude was completely different from Gu Tingyan's just now.
She bit her lower lip, her heart filled with grievance, and raised her hand to grasp his, her voice trembling with tears: "Yes, thank you, A-Yu."
Gu Tingyu pulled her up from the ground.
Xu Rou had been squatting for too long, and her legs were a little numb. She staggered a few steps as soon as she stood up.
Fortunately, Gu Tingyu caught her in time, preventing her from falling to the ground.
Gu Tingyu in the car.
Gu Tingyu didn't start the car immediately. Sitting in the driver's seat, he turned his head to look at Xu Rou and asked with concern, "Rou Rou, why were you crying in the clubhouse corridor?"
Xu Rou sat in the passenger seat, head down, staring unfocused at her tangled phone.
Her shoulders were trembling, and she said with tears streaming down her face.
“My dad was laid off, and I wanted to beg Gu Tingyan to show him mercy, but he ignored me completely.”
“He actually looked down on me in front of Su Yin and the others, making me a laughingstock.”
"Ah Yu, I... I really don't know what to do."
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingyu flew into a rage and began to curse with a furious expression.
"How could Gu Tingyan and Su Yin treat you like this?"
These words struck a chord with Xu Rou.
She suddenly looked up at Gu Tingyu, her tear-streaked face looking pitiful.
After a long and complicated struggle, Xu Rou called out, "A-Yu..."
Gu Tingyu felt sorry for her and took out a few tissues to gently wipe away her tears.
He couldn't bear to see her troubled and heartbroken, so he said directly, "Rou Rou, why don't you ask your dad to quit his job? I'll help him find a good one. What do you think?"
Xu Rou stared blankly at Gu Tingyu.
The man's features were exquisitely handsome, but most importantly, his captivating eyes seemed to hold only him.
"Thank you... Ayu."
Xu Rou gripped the seatbelt tightly with her small hands, her grip loosening slightly unconsciously, her voice filled with gratitude.
After a moment of silence, Xu Rou suddenly spoke again.
"Are you free this weekend? You've helped me so much, I'd like to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."
Gu Tingyu immediately shook his head and spoke, gazing affectionately at Xu Rou.
"Rou Rou, I don't want to be your friend anymore."
Xu Rou subconsciously tensed up, anxiously waiting for Gu Tingyu to finish stating his request.
He said, "I want to be your boyfriend, is that okay?"
Gu Tingyu was unwilling to keep following Xu Rou around; he also wanted a formal title.
Xu Rou hurriedly avoided his gaze.
"Sorry, Yu, I'm a little tired. Can we talk about this later?"
She awkwardly changed the subject, speaking nervously.
Gu Tingyu realized that Xu Rou was intentionally rejecting him. Disappointed, he looked away and, suppressing his heartache, silently escorted Xu Rou back to her dormitory.
Watching Xu Roudao's figure disappear from his sight, Gu Tingyu suddenly stepped on the gas and drove off in a certain direction.
He stood at the door and rang the doorbell.
Shen Nianxu walked over, opened the door, and asked, "Who is it?"
When she realized that the person who came was Gu Tingyu, her gaze paused.
Before she could react, Gu Tingyu closed the door, hugged Shen Nianxu, and walked towards the bedroom.
