I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 375 Ms. Hu: Right now, I'm furious!

2007 has passed, and a new year has begun.

But when everyone flew back to Shanghai, everything seemed unchanged.

Life goes on as usual.

The buzz surrounding Teacher Zeng's trip and his relationship with fans is a thing of the past; the news that Zhanbo actually has a girlfriend is the future.

Lu Zhanbo!
This straight, single guy, who's famous on apartment forums, actually has a girlfriend.

The bachelors were so jealous they wailed.

Zhanbo was moved directly to third place on the apartment's list of most attractive men!

The reason is that they betrayed the FFF group, which is unforgivable!

At this point, some people might be wondering, if Zhanbo is only third, who are the first two?

Second place goes to Ziqiao, no doubt about it. He was originally in first place.

So who is number one?
Gu Yifan?
No, no, it's actually Teacher Zeng!

Surprisingly, there was a reason behind it all.

The suites on the sixth floor of Building 3 are the apartment's 'star suites'.

Who can blame them? This is where the apartment's number one rich and beautiful woman lives, along with many other beauties—the highest quality and the most numerous in the apartment complex.

The apartment building is full of young people, but there are too many applicants and not enough available spaces.

All the bachelors were drooling over the residents on the sixth floor. Countless people applied to switch to suites, hoping to move into 3604, as proximity would give them an advantage.

But all of them were rejected by the apartment residents' committee.

This enraged many single men.

It is generally believed that Zeng Xiaoxian was behind this.

As the vice chairman of the apartment residents' committee, instead of working for the benefit of single men, he abused his power and blocked the 'upward mobility' of other apartment residents.

They are the 'class enemies' who should be overthrown the most!
After a round of criticism and denunciation of Teacher Zeng on the forum, a coalition of eighteen groups was formed to oppose him.

Their daily actions, such as using the name of the "Salted Vegetable Group" to occupy the comment sections of other forums or online communities, have aroused public anger.

The show "My Moon, Your Heart" received rave reviews on Douban, along with positive comments about the hypnosis program.

It must be said that people on the internet these days are still quite law-abiding, and there wasn't much real harm done.

These are all online antics with a humorous twist; no one is actually teaching Teacher Zeng in person.

This series of unconventional actions ironically led to the rise of "Zancai Bar" (also known as "Zai Bar"), a popular online forum.

It will become a gathering place for internet enthusiasts, no less than the future Sunba.
It also unexpectedly brought a group of fans to Teacher Zeng's program.

This also instantly transformed Teacher Zeng from an unknown nobody into the number one male public enemy and class traitor on the apartment's kill list.

It must be said that this was a completely undeserved disaster for Teacher Zeng.

The reason why the apartment residents' committee rejected other residents' applications to move in was entirely because Miss Lin, the hidden 'landlady,' spoke up.

No one is allowed to stay in 3603 or 3604 unless they have her permission.

Girls are not allowed either!
Lin Wanyu: Don't think I don't know that those coin pools are all eyeing Gu Yifan. Don't even think about it!
At this point, some people might ask...

What about Gu Yifan?

It doesn't make sense that the man who dated the most beautiful and wealthy woman in the apartment wasn't on the list.

On the contrary, Gu Yifan's reputation among the male residents of the apartment was not bad.

Perhaps it's because Gu Yifan and Miss Lin, standing together, truly looked like a perfect match, with no flaws to be found.

Although there were rumors at the beginning that Gu Yifan was a kept man by Miss Lin.

But later, when fans of Three Kingdoms Kill and Under One Person flooded the apartment forum to worship this author.

Everyone discovered it.

Wow, this kid is not only handsome, but also quite talented.

Although there are still occasional sarcastic remarks, Gu Yifan's reputation has actually improved.

That's how everyone comforted themselves: luckily this guy has Wan Yu, otherwise he would have taken all the other beauties in the apartment.

People know what self-comfort is.

It's too far off topic.

Ms. Hu kept saying she wanted to see her brother's wife.

But Zhanbo changed his previous obedient image and insisted that the time was not right and it was not yet time to meet the parents.

After all, in Shanghai, Zhanbo only has his older sister Yifei, and as the eldest sister, she is like a mother to him, practically a parent in his own right.

As it turns out, Zhanbo's persistence was correct.

Because she was furious, Hu Yifei confided in Gu Yifan and Wan Yu.

I'm planning to meet him every day, settle things, and try to get my younger brother married off this year!
That way, she, as the mother, or rather, the older sister, could rest assured.

At first, Wanyu, who couldn't stand it anymore, tried to persuade Ms. Hu, but later found it was no use.

Yifei was determined to achieve her goal, so I simply stopped trying to persuade her.

Miss Qin knew Yifei's personality all along; she neither tried to persuade her nor listened to her.

As soon as Yifei appeared, she returned from 3601 to 3603, waved her sleeves, and left without taking a single cloud with her.

By the way, Miss Qin has also started going to 3601 every day, and silly Lin Wanyu is quite welcoming of her.

Little did they know that her true intentions lay elsewhere.

As a result, Gu Yifan was left with no choice but to listen to Ms. Hu's nagging.

Gu Yifan: But what did I do wrong!

Even when he sneaked into Ms. Hu's room and the two made love, Hu Yifei would still chime in with her opinion.

In fact, it is understandable.

Hu Yifei's reaction was an emergency response; after all, the little female leopard is also a feline.
Seeing that Zhanbo had grown up and dared to disobey her, she secretly celebrated that Zhanbo had become a real man, but at the same time, she was heartbroken.

Everyone else was used to it, after all, Hu Yifei was a walking contradiction.

"hateful!"

"boom!"

3601 Living room, on the sofa.

Gu Yifan and Lin Wanyu were playing Mario with a controller when Hu Yifei stormed in, pushing open the door.

Lin Wanyu was startled by the sound of the door closing, her hands paused, and her character died.

"Oh no!!! This doesn't count, it was Fei Fei who scared me!"

Faced with Miss Lin's shameless behavior, Gu Yifan said, "Hey, hey, hey, you don't have to use the same excuse every time."

Lin Wanyu put down the controller and said confidently, "But I was really scared by Feifei."

"Alright, alright, then you're right."

Don't try to reason with a girlfriend who's already acting out, otherwise not only will she continue to act out, but you'll also lose a girlfriend.

Gu Yifan understood this principle.

as predicted.

Seeing that Gu Yifan had given in, Lin Wanyu smiled like a little fox who had successfully stolen a chicken.

She grinned and opened her arms, snuggled up to him, rubbed her cheek against Gu Yifan's shoulder, and said in a coquettish tone.

"Fanfan is so nice~"

"I already told you not to call me Fanfan," Gu Yifan said, feeling a bit disgusted.

He could always picture a certain bowl of wide noodles.

Seeing that the two of them were ignoring her, Hu Yifei became even angrier and sat down around the sofa.

As a result, his knee accidentally bumped into the coffee table.

"Hey! This broken coffee table dares to try and scam me? Believe me or not, I'll tear it apart and sell it for scrap!"

Ms. Hu was utterly powerless and furious.

Faced with Ms. Hu's childish behavior of arguing with the coffee table, Lin Wanyu and Gu Yifan exchanged a glance and both shook their heads and sighed.

Oh, how childish Yifei is.

When Lin Wanyu first met Ms. Hu, she was amazed by her beauty and thought, "This woman has such a great attitude and is so charming. I admire her so much!"
Now.
"Feifei, what's wrong with you again? Why are you so angry about a coffee table? Don't be angry, don't be angry, what if your period gets irregular?"

With a smile on her face, Lin Wanyu sat down next to Yifei in a sweet, coaxing tone, as if she were comforting a child.

"Hmph, it's all because of Zhanbo!" Ms. Hu's tone became even more aggrieved.

"Zhanbo rejected your dinner invitation again?" Gu Yifan chuckled as he got up, went to the kitchen to get a drink, and asked.

“The child is growing up, she needs some personal space, doesn’t she, Yifei?” Miss Lin gestured to Gu Yifan as if she wanted some too, before comforting Yifei in a mature tone.

"He actually rejected me because he wanted to have dinner with Moran! Five times this week! And today is Friday!" Yifei was still furious.

"I need to know the specific progress of his relationship with Moran so I can make preparations!"

"What preparations are you making? Preparations for becoming an aunt? Well, I think you don't need to worry about that, it's still early." Gu Yifan came over with three cans of Coke.

He handed it to the three of them, while simultaneously complaining.

Hu Yifei took the cola, rolled her eyes at Gu Yifan for being heartless, and held it to her knees.

“You don’t understand. Before, it was me, Zhanbo. Now it’s me, Zhanbo and Moran! I’ve been excluded.”

Lin Wanyu shook her head and muttered under her breath, "Even your own mother doesn't care as much as Yifei. No wonder Zhanbo avoids you."

"Wanyu, what did you say?!"

Facing Yifei's raised voice, Lin Wanyu blinked, "Did I say anything? No, right? Hehe! Oh right, I forgot that Yumo is waiting for me to do my nails together. Bye-bye, Feifei."

With that, Miss Lin slipped away in a flash.

Seeing this, Gu Yifan also quietly prepared to return to his room.

But before he could turn around, Ms. Hu called out to him.

"Hey! You want to leave me too!"

The more arrogant Yifei usually is, the more vulnerable she becomes in her slightly aggrieved tone.

Gu Yifan turned around, scratched the back of his head, and said, "How can that be considered leaving? I'm going back to my room to draw."

"Shut up!"

Ms. Hu exuded a queenly aura and beckoned to Gu Yifan with her finger.

"come over!"

Gu Yifan hesitated for 0.3 seconds, but still walked over.

"what?"

"Sit down, do you think I'm going to eat you?" Ms. Hu said with a half-smile, patting the sofa next to her and gesturing for Gu Yifan to sit down.

"It's not impossible," Gu Yifan muttered softly.

These past few days, Ms. Hu has been getting angry because of Zhanbo. Whenever Lin Wanyu comes over, she runs off to find Yu Mo or goes downstairs to play with Meijia in order to avoid Yifei.

Then Ms. Hu would say to Gu Yifan, "I'm really angry right now!"

Then came what is well-known and widely welcomed.

After being told it again and again, Gu Yifan suddenly realized what was happening.

Could it be that Ms. Hu used anger as an excuse to scare Wan Yu away and then get another chance to be alone with him?

"What kind of expression is that? Rub my leg, it hurts so much."

Hu Yifei pulled Gu Yifan down to sit, and then put her long, beautiful legs directly on his lap.

Gu Yifan had no choice but to comply.

As Gu Yifan placed his slightly warm palm on Ms. Hu's knee, she comfortably closed her eyes and let out a soft murmur.

"call"

Gu Yifan's guess was absolutely correct.

Hu Yifei was indeed anxious about Zhanbo at first, but things soon changed when she realized that Wan Yu and Yu Mo would avoid her when she was irritable.

As of now, only she knows how much of her anger is genuine and how much is feigned.

At this moment, Ms. Hu was scrutinizing Gu Yifan's profile. She liked this feeling, a sense of conquest as Gu Yifan bowed his head to serve her like a maid. Although most of the time, Ms. Hu was the one being conquered.

There's no way around it; she's a woman who's inherently afraid of being abandoned, stubborn and doesn't like to show it, and also very competitive.

About ten minutes have passed.

Hu Yifei moved her legs slightly. "It's ready."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yifan responded with an "oh" and prepared to pick up Ms. Hu in a princess carry.

"What are you doing! You're being a pervert!" Ms. Hu blushed and dodged Gu Yifan.

Gu Yifan: "???"

Isn't this the standard procedure?

"Get lost! What do you take me for? I don't need you today!"

Ms. Hu understood Gu Yifan's gaze, her face turned even redder, and she kicked him several times, forcing Gu Yifan to dodge.

"You should have said so earlier." Gu Yifan breathed a sigh of relief.

Honestly, you need to be careful when starting a harem; it can ruin your health and even your back.

Seeing Gu Yifan breathe a sigh of relief, Ms. Hu felt a surge of pride. Sure enough, she was still slightly better.

Although it's a case of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own.

"I heard from Wanyu that Mr. Shen went to your company?" Ms. Hu casually started a conversation and asked lazily.

"Yeah, he went to the company for an inspection and to sign a contract while he was there," Gu Yifan said with a yawn.

He felt a bit overwhelmed, which might also be related to the fact that he became busier after returning.

This week, Gu Yifan's slacking off was forced to come to an end, and he returned to his busy schedule.

Zhanbo successfully completed the task of building the Ele.me website and was subsequently hired as the head of Ele.me's technology department.

He officially entered into a senior management position with an annual salary plus bonuses.

Among the many young people in Shanghai, he is already considered one of the best.

It seems Miss Lin has no intention of letting Zhanbo go back to Yifan's game company; in her words, it's a waste of his talent.

As a result, Eleba plans to take advantage of the period after New Year's Day to try to launch quickly.

Once the website is set up, you can naturally start restarting cooperation with other merchants to join the platform.

The subtle resistance, or rather, pressure from those chain restaurant brands, crumbled on its own after Gu Yifan and Young Master Shen reached a cooperation agreement.

Young Master Shen's connections in the catering industry are far wider than Gu Yifan imagined.

He knows almost all the owners of high-end restaurants and brands that you can name, and he often goes to Japan to investigate.

The president of the Shanghai Catering Industry Association is his longtime friend, and Mr. Shen is also the vice president.

With Young Master Shen's help, the original problem is no longer a problem.

Of course, Young Master Shen didn't just go out of his way to help anyone; he provided both manpower and effort.

To be precise, it's a relationship of mutual benefit.

Shen Linfeng's restaurant chain brand has reached a bottleneck in its development, and he wants to seek a breakthrough.

At this time, Gu Yifan's Eleba appeared, and its model caught Shen Linfeng's eye. He keenly sensed that this might change the current prospects of the catering industry.

In addition, Ele.me is backed by the behemoth, Lin's International Bank.

Although Lin Wanyu has always said that this is her own company and has nothing to do with her father.

But her status as the eldest princess of the Lin family bank alone has already branded Ele.me with the label of Lin's International Bank.

This is the real reason why Young Master Shen provided manpower and effort; it's all about mutual benefit.

Of course, Gu Yifan still approves of Young Master Shen's personal character; it's not wrong for him to like fair-skinned, beautiful women with long legs.

After listening to Gu Yifan's brief explanation.

Ms. Hu, who had a vague understanding of business, nodded. To be honest, watching Gu Yifan speak so eloquently, she felt a small sense of pride welling up inside her.

Look, this is her man!

They are working hard for a better life in the future.

"So, Young Master Shen has been a great help to you?" Hu Yifei said after thinking for a moment.

“That’s right.” Gu Yifan nodded.

"Then how are you going to thank me?" Hu Yifei asked with a smile.

Gu Yifan was taken aback and asked in return.

"So how do you want me to thank you?"

Their eyes met, and Ms. Hu's eyes sparkled brightly, like a glittering star in the night.

"Well... I haven't thought about it yet." Hu Yifei was just joking; she certainly didn't really want to get anything from Gu Yifan.

But since things have come to this point...

Ms. Hu thought for a moment and said she would remember it and bring it up again when she had thought it through in the future, and Gu Yifan was not allowed to deny it.

Gu Yifan naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Alright, Wanyu will be back soon, I'm going back now."

The two sat quietly for a while, shoulder to shoulder and head to head, without saying a word.

A moment later, Ms. Hu pushed Gu Yifan away, straightened her clothes, stood up gracefully, and said this.

But behind her seemingly carefree demeanor lies a deep sense of loneliness.

Hu Yifei sacrificed no less for Gu Yifan than Wan Yu did.

She used her status as the eldest sister to restrict herself, and her relationship with Gu Yifan was likely to end in failure.

If this gets out, Ms. Hu's reputation will be ruined.

A university teacher, a woman who hates evil, actually knew about the affair and became a traitor.

It will be quite surprising.

But Hu Yifei never urged Gu Yifan to confront Wanyu.

She never intended to oust Lin Daiyu and take her place. Although the chances of success were slim, she generously told Gu Yifan that it was her own choice and that she would bear all the consequences herself.

It was her initiative; it had nothing to do with Gu Yifan.

When a woman is willing to risk being condemned by everyone in order to stay firmly with a man, it's clear that her love is unconditional.

Even Ms. Hu, who has always been as proud as a swan, will take the initiative to back down.

That sounds incredible.

Gu Yifan felt an even deeper sense of indebtedness towards Ms. Hu.

"Yifei."

Gu Yifan took Ms. Hu's hand and called out softly.

"Huh? What for?"

Hu Yifei stopped and turned to look at Gu Yifan, who was holding her hand, only to see the apology and guilt in Gu Yifan's eyes.

I'm sorry, I've wronged you.

Hu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then bit her lip lightly, feeling a touch of emotion welling up inside her.

She understood what Gu Yifan meant.
But Hu Yifei pretended to be stupid again, "Nonsense, why are you apologizing to me? You should say that to Wanyu."

"Do you think I'm some kind of little girl who cries and needs to be coaxed?"

"No need! I, Hu Yifei, have never regretted my own choices!"

"Speak," Hu Yifei said, gently pinching Gu Yifan's cheek with her delicate hand. She smiled proudly before turning and leaving without hesitation.

That's fine, there's nothing wrong with it.

Hu Yifei told herself.

Perhaps one day she'll realize she doesn't love him as much anymore, and then she can gracefully walk away.

Besides, does Hu Yifei need to explain her extraordinary life to others?
Even so, I still feel a lump in my throat.

As Hu Yifei hummed a tune and swung her arms through the stairwell, she caught a glimpse of a crescent moon hanging in the dark night sky, shining through the stairwell window.

"."

She stopped in her tracks instinctively.

After hesitating, I turned and went to the window in the stairwell.
Standing quietly.

Hu Yifei stared blankly at the crescent moon outside the window, and an ancient poem involuntarily came to mind.

"Silently I ascend the western tower alone, the moon like a hook."

"A lonely paulownia tree in a deep courtyard locks in the desolate autumn."

"A tangled mess that can't be untangled."

"The sorrow of parting is a unique feeling that lingers in my heart."

A few more days passed.

As the weather grew colder day by day, an unexpected light snowfall occurred just before mid-January, causing a sensation throughout Shanghai.

It is a rare sight indeed.

However, the residents of the apartment who had witnessed real heavy snowfall were not surprised, and even looked down on the excited passersby on the street.

What's the big deal? You call these tiny snowflakes snow?
But in the end, everyone decided to have a hot pot meal to fit the occasion.

We'll hold the party in room 3601; it's more spacious and we don't have much stuff there.

Meanwhile, the addition of a new person made the meal even more lively and engaging.

In front of the extra-large hot pot with two broths.

Everyone sat in a circle, with all kinds of dishes neatly arranged. The hot pot, divided into two broths, had already started to boil, and fragrant white steam rose up.

Zeng Xiaoxian pulled Sally, who was dressed up and looked exceptionally beautiful, to stand up and raised her glass.

“Sally has been busy since she came back, but she finally has time to meet everyone today. From now on, we're all family, so don't tease her.”

Zeng Xiaoxian's unspoken message was that everyone should stop targeting Sally, give him face, and not play pranks on her or tease the newcomer.

"Of course! Don't worry, Teacher Zeng, we're very enthusiastic," Meijia said with a smile.

Everyone nodded in agreement, reassuring Teacher Zeng and so on.

Seeing this, Zeng Xiaoxian downed a large glass of beer in one go, burped, and then sat down.

As soon as he sat down, Sally thoughtfully wiped Zeng Xiaoxian's mouth, without blushing at the laughter and jeers of the crowd.

Zeng Xiaoxian really enjoyed this feeling.

Sally was practically his perfect girlfriend: gentle, considerate, understanding, and caring.

Gu Yifan finished his beer in a few gulps, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed Lu Ziqiao rubbing his hands together, looking ready to fight.

Needless to say, Lu Ziqiao is definitely up to something again.

Sure enough, Sally had just finished wiping Zeng Xiaoxian's mouth.

Before Zeng Xiaoxian could signal everyone to put down the lamb rolls, he stood up on his own initiative.

“Teacher Zeng, you’re my girlfriend, that is, my dear sister-in-law.” Lu Ziqiao stood up with a grin, drawing out the words before Zeng Xiaoxian got impatient.

"From now on, we're all friends. Let me toast you, welcome!"

Sally graciously stood up, smiled generously, and clinked glasses with Lu Ziqiao, saying, "Thank you."

After finishing her drink, Sally apologized, saying, "I'm not a big drinker, so I'll just have a little. Everyone, please feel free to drink as you like."

“No problem.” Lu Ziqiao nodded, since his target wasn’t Sally anyway.

Lu Ziqiao wouldn't go so far as to get women drunk.

He has ulterior motives.

"Come on, come on, let's serve the food." Zeng Xiaoxian smoothed things over, making the atmosphere harmonious and pleasant.

But there seems to be an undercurrent of tension.

Gu Yifan and Miss Lin exchanged glances and winked at each other in tacit understanding.

Looks like there's going to be some fun to watch.
