After being reborn, I'm no longer going to play the role of a spoiled rich kid.

Chapter 89 The Secrets of Adults
If Yu Sijia still had even the slightest hesitation, it vanished the moment she saw that the event would be held in Beijing, as Ma Zuozuo had mentioned.

Yu Sijia showed the message to Jiang Lingyu with a hint of delight, "Ah, that's pretty close!"

Jiang Lingyu gave her a half-smile, "That's right, in that case, I don't even need to come to the rescue. If you're unhappy inside, just call President Meng. President Meng will definitely get here faster than me."

Yuska nudged her shoulder. "What are you saying!"

With plenty of time in the afternoon, You Sijia bought two tickets to an orchestral concert, intending to take Jiang Lingyu to a performance. However, before they even left the International Finance Center, Jiang Lingyu's phone rang.

Jiang Lingyu glanced at the caller ID and answered it without avoiding You Sijia.

"Hey?"

Jiang Lingyu's expression turned strange after hearing what the person on the other end of the phone said. She even glanced in You Sijia's direction. "...How is that possible? She's right next to me right now. Aren't you guys talking nonsense?"

Yu Sijia looked at Jiang Lingyu curiously, wondering what had happened.

The person on the other end of the phone said something else, and Jiang Lingyu became a little impatient. "What does that have to do with me? Are you sick in the head?"

After saying this, Jiang Lingyu continued without waiting for the other person to say anything more: "I don't have time. Go find someone else yourself. Besides, he's a grown man, how could he possibly get lost? Adults should be responsible for their own actions, why should others clean up their messes?"

After finishing her sentence, Jiang Lingyu lost patience and hung up the phone immediately.

Yu Sijia hadn't heard clearly, but she knew that Jiang Lingyu had mentioned her in her conversation with the caller, so she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who was it?"

Jiang Lingyu didn't want to be bothered by these things, so she didn't want to speak up.

But at that moment, Yusjia's phone rang.

Yusjia took out her phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Although she hadn't saved it, she knew who it was.

Jiang Lingyu: "These people are really persistent."

She meant to tell Yuska not to answer, but Yuska had already picked up the phone.

A moment later, Yustia hung up the phone.

"Let's go, shall I buy two coffees first, and then go to the concert?" Jiang Lingyu said, pretending that nothing had happened.

Yusia looked at her, "The person who called me just now was Zhang Qi."

Gu Yu's classmate and friend.

Jiang Lingyu sighed, "Even if Gu Yu is missing now, it has nothing to do with you. He's a grown man, and it's impossible for anything to really happen to him."

Seeing Jiang Lingyu's nervous and helpless expression, You Sijia suddenly laughed.

Are you worried that I'm going to go find him?

Jiang Lingyu didn't even bother to look at her. "So, are you going? If I tell you not to go, will you listen to me?"

Although the call Jiang Lingyu just received wasn't from Zhang Qi, it was from a mutual friend in their circle in Nancheng.

Gu Yu has been missing for three whole days. His friends can't get through to him by phone, and they can't find him at his apartment either, so they're getting worried.

Many people recalled that You Sijia had always followed Gu Yu around, and the two were childhood sweethearts and neighbors. Moreover, the time of Gu Yu's disappearance was roughly the same as the time You Sijia returned to China, so many people thought that You Sijia should know Gu Yu's whereabouts. Even if she didn't know, given their friendship, You Sijia would still take the initiative to look for Gu Yu.

Yustya: "Listen."

"So even if I told you not to go, it wouldn't make any difference... Huh? What did you just say?" Jiang Lingyu suddenly paused, then turned to look at You Sijia, who was typing with her head down, incredulously. "What did you say? You're going to listen to me?"

Yu Sijia must have already edited and sent a message before she looked up from her phone screen and focused her gaze on Jiang Lingyu's face.

“Yes,” she nodded. “I’ll listen to you.”

She spoke with remarkable naturalness, while Jiang Lingyu stood there dumbfounded.

As if she couldn't quite believe it, Jiang Lingyu asked again tentatively, "Gu Yu has disappeared. Are you sure you're not going to go look for him?"

Yu Sijia: "I think if he really is missing, reporting it to the police would allow them to find him much faster than we can. Besides, even if he disappears, all I can do is provide Zhang Qi and the others with a location I know he might be in. We shouldn't need to worry about the rest, right?"

After saying this, Yu Sijia pulled Jiang Lingyu into the elevator. She pressed the button for the first floor instead of going directly to the underground parking lot. "Let's go buy coffee together."

Jiang Lingyu couldn't help but give You Sijia a thumbs up.

Yu Sijia had almost forgotten about Gu Yu's "disappearance" incident. If Zhang Qi hadn't called her today, she would have really forgotten.

Jiang Lingyu was visibly relieved after confirming that You Sijia wouldn't go to Gu Yu.

After all, as someone in the know, she knew how much You Sijia liked Gu Yu back then. Even though You Sijia had complained about Gu Yu to her several times before, that was only when his personal safety wasn't involved.

Regardless of Yu Sijia's reasons for marrying Meng Weiyuan, she already had a partner. She didn't want Meng Weiyuan, who was far away in Beijing, to hear any rumors about Gu Yu. In that case, wouldn't Yu Sijia be the only one in trouble?
“Actually, I knew about this before you returned to China,” Jiang Lingyu explained. “But I thought it had nothing to do with you, and Gu Yu disappeared on his own, so how could you possibly have any news about him? So I didn’t say anything.”

Yuska nodded to indicate that she understood.

Only someone who truly cares about her would keep it from her.

“He…” Jiang Lingyu was still trying to figure out how to explain the cause and effect when You Sijia interrupted her.

“Forget it, let’s not mention him. I’ve already sent Zhang Qi a few addresses. If they go to each one and still can’t find him, they’ll naturally call the police,” You Sijia said.

Of course she knew why Gu Yu had suddenly disappeared.

She knew back then that her neighbor's parents were different from her own parents. Her parents were very hospitable and often invited friends over to play together.

One day, after school, You Sijia insisted on following Gu Yu. Just as they reached the Gu family's front gate, she saw a strange man with Gu Yu's mother coming out, their arms around each other intimately. Behind them, Gu Yu's father was also with a woman she had never seen before, laughing and talking.

Gu Yu's expression was very unpleasant at the time. You Sijia didn't know why, but she felt that something was wrong with the scene.

This time, Yu Sijia knew that Gu Yu had stumbled upon the scene they had witnessed together years ago at home.

This was also the initial reason why Gu Yu couldn't face it and ultimately decided to go abroad and start his own business.

After all, he simply couldn't accept his parents' penchant for partner swapping.
