Chapter 104: Chapter 81: Basketball Game?

Ye Xiao finished reading the subsequent plot and finally felt completely reassured about Liu Yan and their side.

Next, as long as there were no serious deviations in Liu Yan and their actions,

they were destined to follow the steps leading to the incidents written in the book.

La Jingzhou would be imprisoned in the end, and Liu Yan would take away all of La Family’s shares.

The event of La Jingzhou being imprisoned would happen in about three months.

Once in jail, La Jingzhou couldn’t do much.

He guessed that fresh plots would unfold only after La Jingzhou got out.

And there was Bai Shilan.

Bai Shilan had all her belongings taken away and lost her future in the entertainment industry. Originally, she was playing a love-hate relationship with La Jingzhou.

But as they were playing, La Jingzhou got put away.

And so, the love-hate plot abruptly stopped.

Bai Shilan finally received the freedom she wanted.

But she was at a loss.

Huanyu terminated the contract with her, she had spent all her money from the past years plugging financial holes, and La Jingzhou was imprisoned, with no one left to control her.

Yet, with nothing to her name, what could she do?

Bai Shilan thought about seeking out Ye Lin and Ye Xiao.

But soon, she no longer had the time to bother others.

After La Jingzhou was imprisoned, Liu Yan presented the bills and asked Bai Shilan to repay the money.

These bills were the same ones La Jingzhou had used to threaten Bai Shilan in the past.

Of course, Bai Shilan had no money to repay them.

Liu Yan then casually arranged a waitress job for Bai Shilan, so she could work off the debt.

It wasn’t that Liu Yan suddenly developed a kind heart, mainly because when La Jingzhou got out, he would find out she had no intention of returning the shares, and that the entire La Family had long since taken the Liu surname. He would definitely have something to say, so Bai Shilan also counted as a bargaining chip, I suppose.

Being monitored by Liu Yan like this, Bai Shilan naturally didn’t have time to come to Luo City to find Ye Lin anymore.

For the male and female protagonists, there was no threat for the time being.

Having assured this, Ye Xiao was still in a good mood.

In the next three months, to ensure La Jingzhou was sent away, Ye Bolin, Gu Yan, and Liu Yan and their group would still be quite busy.

Ye Xiao thought about trying not to disturb them as much as possible.

The next day.

She was getting ready to go to school by herself.

Seeing the car at the door, Ye Xiao hesitated for a moment.

Huh, that doesn’t seem like Ye Family’s car.

The car window rolled down.

Gu Yan raised an eyebrow at Ye Xiao, “Get in, I’ll take you.”

Ye Xiao was somewhat surprised.

But she got in the car anyway.

Ye Xiao looked at Gu Yan strangely, “Uncle Gu, don’t you need to help Sister Liu?”

Gu Yan’s face was calm, “The entire legal team has already gone to help them. I personally, am not of much use.”

“Is that so?”

Ye Xiao was half-convinced.

“Naturally,” Gu Yan nodded imperceptibly.

“So, do you have another lecture at our school today?” Ye Xiao asked, curious.

Gu Yan shook his head, “No lecture.”

“Then what is it?” Ye Xiao was puzzled.

[He couldn’t possibly have come especially to take me to school, right? What kind of elder does that? It’s not like they’d be so considerate.]

Gu Yan couldn’t help but glance at Ye Xiao, “I’m only six years older than you.”

So.

How did he become not only an uncle but also an elder.

Ye Xiao nodded, “Right, when you were in junior high, I was just in first grade.”

If that’s not an elder, then what is it?

Gu Yan felt mentally exhausted.

But fortunately.

He already had a full plan in place.

The most important thing now was to let Ye Xiao know that, although he was a few years older than her, in reality, they had common topics to talk about. When it came to being youthful, he wouldn’t be much worse off than those boys fresh out of puberty in her school.

Gu Yan said calmly, “Today, I’m going to your school to participate in a basketball game.”

Ye Xiao was stunned.

She looked at Gu Yan with some disbelief.

[Basketball game??? Uncle Gu??? Won’t he trip and fall if he runs too fast? Oh, wait, Uncle Gu isn’t someone without abs.]

Without changing his expression, Gu Yan explained, “When I was in university, I was a member of the basketball team and even played in the national championships. But I stopped playing after graduating. This time, some old teammates arranged a friendly game with your school’s team and since I was free, I decided to join in.”

Ye Xiao was even more dumbfounded.

[It’s still hard to imagine… Uncle Gu used to be part of the basketball team, that’s understandable, after all, youth is not youth if not a little rash. But… Uncle Gu hasn’t played basketball in many years, right? How did his old teammates think to invite him? Aren’t they afraid he’ll throw out his back?]

Ye Xiao was still somewhat worried.

Although Uncle Gu had abs, basketball? Not only had she never seen him play, but it also wasn’t written in any book.

Gu Yan glanced at Ye Xiao and narrowed his eyes, “The basketball game is during the third and fourth periods. I’ve checked and you have no classes after the first and second periods in the morning. How about it, come and watch me play?”

To display a youthful vigor.

Of course, it was through this kind of sports that one could best show it off.

He had to let Ye Xiao know.

He was still very young!

“Sure.” Gu Yan was still thinking about how to persuade her in case Ye Xiao refused, but to his surprise, she agreed immediately.

[Oh my, Gu Yan playing basketball! Such a big scene, it would be a waste not to watch!]

Ye Xiao was a little excited too.

In her previous life, she had never attended university, having started from bit roles to practice her acting early on.

She had only seen this kind of basketball game on TV.

Now, she could experience it in person!

A smile formed on Gu Yan’s lips, “Great, see you at the basketball court then.”

Ye Xiao nodded repeatedly.

When they reached the school gate, the two temporarily parted ways.

Gu Yan headed to the gymnasium to do warm-up preparations.

The teammates were already waiting there, and when they saw Gu Yan, they were somewhat restrained.

“Boss Gu, didn’t expect you to really come…” one of them said.

They had played basketball together before.

But afterward, their status was different, he one thing and they another.

After getting busy with their own affairs, their relationship gradually became estranged.

Nobody had thought that for this friendly match, the organizer would casually send out an invitation to all former team members.

Unexpectedly.

Gu Yan was the first to reply that he would come.

This news directly blew up their long-dormant group chat.

Gu Yan?

Playing basketball?

After all these years, he was still willing to hang out with them?

Suddenly, the chat boiled over as everyone signed up, swiftly forming a team.

Former teammates came from all over the country, boasting that although they had been working for many years, when it really came down to playing, these youngsters wouldn’t stand a chance against them.

Gu Yan also joined in on the boasting and chatting, everything seemed like a return to his college days.

However, when it came to the actual meeting, looking at Gu Yan, everyone couldn’t help but feel a little restrained.

Gu Yan smiled and joked, “What’s the matter, can’t recognize me after all these years?”

His tone was light, and the others relaxed as well.

A group of them shouted, this time they were determined to show the young ones that they were still sharp as ever.

On the other side.

As soon as Ye Xiao walked into the classroom.

Ye Bingtong’s profound gaze followed her like a shadow.

That expression was like a water ghost in a river, eager to drag Ye Xiao down as well.

Ye Xiao remained unfazed. She knew why Ye Bingtong wore that expression. These past few days had not been easy for Ye Bingtong.
