The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

The meal lasted about two hours. Although Baili Ye, the only "victim" of the meal, was not in a very good mood at the beginning and kept eating lemons because of the affection between Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi, he was a young man who did not take the past too seriously. After the meal, he not only started to treat Lu Sanshi, who he was very unhappy with before, as a brother, but he even took the initiative to acknowledge Xu Yiyu as his sister.

Qi Mo watched with great interest from the side - good fellow, it turned out that he didn't need to worry at all, right? Baili, who had a heart bigger than the sky and nerves thicker than wide noodles, would never be hit by anything for more than an hour!

When the dinner was almost over, Xu Yiyu received a message from Gu Qiu on Yixin.

[Sister Yiyu, come quickly! Help! ]

After receiving this message, Xu Yiyu's mouth curled up, but he did not get up and go to the hall immediately. Instead, he called the waiter to settle the bill. However, the curve of his mouth showed a bit of gloating.

Baili Ye, who was eager to pay, was just a little slow in taking out his mobile phone, and Xu Yiyu had already scanned the payment QR code.

"Next time we go to the Magic City, Ah Ye, you can invite us. I will definitely not refuse. You will arrange all the itineraries of your brother-in-law and I in the Magic City."

Xu Yiyu's words were so flawless that Baili Ye didn't even have a reason to refuse. He could only put down his hand that was reaching for his phone.

"Sister Yi Yu, aren't you going to help that childish ghost? Do you want me to help you?"

Baili Ye's resentment towards Gu Qiu has not completely disappeared, but he is a loyal man. He will not let Gu Qiu fall into the clutches of a gold-digger just because of a small grudge between them, so he immediately offered to help.

Xu Yiyu was of course happy to see Baili Ye's initiative to volunteer. Judging from the level of obsession that Miss Zhuang had with Gu Qiu that he had met in the hall before, having one more person to help Gu Qiu would naturally make it more likely that they would be able to rescue him.

Xu Yiyu, Lu Sanshi, Baili Ye and Qi Mo walked to the hall together. Seeing that Gu Qiu seemed to be dealing with Zhuang Xuanqi in a leisurely manner, and thinking of the tone of his voice when he asked for help in Yixin just now, Baili Ye felt relieved.

In Baili Ye's heart, although Gu Qiu's family background is not as good as his own, it is not a family that some ill-intentioned materialistic people can try to cling to.

Baili Ye is arrogant, and so is Gu Qiu, otherwise they wouldn't have been so confrontational at the previous cocktail party.

"Mr. Gu, it's getting late now. Since you have important things to deal with later, I'll take my leave."

Zhuang Xuanqi pretended to stand up and leaned over to pick up her bag, using a subtle tactic of retreating to advance.

Although she knew that Gu Qiu had reinforcements in this restaurant, she would not just let Gu Qiu's opportunity to cross the class slip away. No matter what, she still had to fight for herself.

"Okay, I'll take Miss Zhuang back. It's too late now, and it's not safe for a girl like you to walk on the road at night."

It is one thing for Gu Qiu to hate Zhuang Xuanqi, but it is another thing to disregard her safety. Whether out of gentlemanly manners or basic humanitarianism, he could not really let Zhuang Xuanqi walk alone at night.

No matter what the other party's plan is, Gu Qiu believes that he is a principled person and will never be tempted by external things that do not belong to him.

Gu Qiu, who had not received a reply from Xu Yiyu, was just about to stand up when he felt someone holding down his shoulder.

"Hey, isn't this Gu Qiu? Why are you here today too?"

A groaning voice sounded in his ears. Gu Qiu subconsciously stiffened his fists when he heard it. It took him a long time to relax his tense body.

Sister Yi Yu is really tight-lipped. Why doesn’t she tell me that Baili Ye is also here?

He and Baili Ye were enemies before, and his current situation would make him a laughing stock!

Xu Yiyu calmly walked behind Zhuang Xuanqi who had already stood up, looked helplessly at Baili Ye who was addicted to acting opposite him, and exchanged a tacit look with Lu Sanshi beside him.

Qi Mo was right to say that Baili Ye was childish! He did help, but he did this right away. It was obvious that he wanted to disgust Gu Qiu.

"It's quite a coincidence, but I think I should be the one asking, why is Master Baili here now?"

Gu Qiu understood that some of the segments where questions were asked despite knowing the answer were necessary, otherwise the rest of the play would not be able to go on.

Baili Ye lazily pointed in the direction of Xu Yiyu with his chin, but did not release the hand that was pressing down on Gu Qiu's shoulder.

"Isn't this a car I sent to my good sister? Don't say I didn't tell you."

Baili Ye did not bring any vehicles to Lucheng, but he absolutely could not lose in the battle.

Otherwise, how could Miss Zhuang, who was staring at him and Qi Mo, give up?

"Ms. Zhuang, Miss Xu and I have some things to deal with Gu Qiu, but it's not appropriate for you to go back alone so late. How about this, I'll let my assistant take you back?"

Seeing that Gu Qiu, who had always been at odds with him, did not resist his actions, Baili Ye immediately understood that Gu Qiu had acquiesced to his behavior. He spoke to Zhuang Xuanqi in a seemingly overbearing and rude manner, and winked at a bodyguard in a black suit behind him, motioning him to go forward and send Zhuang Xuanqi off.

Zhuang Xuanqi stood there and watched the situation. She subconsciously took a step back, but she didn't expect to be supported by a pair of hands the next second.

"Miss Zhuang, be careful and don't fall. But Mr. Baili and I do have some things to deal with with Mr. Gu today, so it may not be convenient for him to send you back. Why don't we do as Mr. Baili said and let his assistant escort you back first, and you and Mr. Gu can meet again on another day. What do you think?"

After Zhuang Xuanqi stood firm, Xu Yiyu loosened his hand and took a step back, looking at Zhuang Xuanqi's face with a smooth and gentle smile.

Although Zhuang Xuanqi was anxious to find a shortcut that would allow her to cross the class barrier, she also knew that several people present were not people she could offend, so after weighing the pros and cons for just a few seconds, she smiled reservedly and nodded.

It doesn't matter that the battle suit is useless today. She now has Gu Qiu's contact information, and there will be plenty of opportunities to make Gu Qiu take the bait in the future.

Zhuang Xuanqi smiled at everyone and left first with the "assistant" mentioned by Baili Ye.

Afterwards, Baili Ye's attitude towards Gu Qiu changed 360 degrees in the next second.

"Pah, pah, pah, I must wash my hands carefully when I get home, so as not to be infected by your childish stupidity!"

Seeing that Zhuang Xuanqi's back was no longer visible, Baili Ye immediately took his hands off Gu Qiu in disgust, and shook them in the air a few times in disgust, as if they were stained with something dirty.

"Baili Ye! Are you——"

When Gu Qiu subconsciously wanted to settle the score with Baili Ye, he remembered the moment when Baili Ye came to his aid, and the question he was about to ask was stopped in his mouth.

He tried his best to hold back and swallowed the second half of the sentence.

Considering that this guy just helped him, he endured it!
