How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

Two minutes later, the battle for seats finally came to an end...

Despite the availability of four sofas, which offered ample comfort and space, this group of people insisted on cramming themselves onto just two, leaving the other two completely empty...

Luckily, these internet celebrities weren't completely brainless; no matter how fiercely they fought for their spots, they always left one seat empty beside Gu Heng.

That spot was reserved for Lin Jiayun, He Jing, Cheng Yuxin, Liu Siyao, and Yumeng...

As for Lin Jiayun and He Jing, there was no need to mention them—the others already saw them as Gu Heng's and would not dare to compete with them for seats, even if they were given ten times the courage...

And as for Cheng Yuxin, Liu Siyao, and Yumeng, their status within Wuyou Media was too high to offend. Whether they could gain Gu Heng's favor was still an open question. Would they want to ruin their chances in the company by offending these major internet celebrities?

Lin Jiayun looked at the seat next to Gu Heng and smirked proudly.

She then sashayed over to Gu Heng and whispered, "Gu Heng, I need to use the restroom, I drank too much water tonight, and I'm not feeling great."

At the moment, Gu Heng was engrossed in looking at the tablet's beverage menu and didn't even lift his head as he said, "Sure, my bodyguards are at the booth entrance. Have them accompany you."

"Mhm!"

Gu Heng's minor show of concern was very satisfying to Lin Jiayun...

Her slender neck held even higher, she glanced over the group of web stars like a proud swan under the nightclub lights, then took still-bewildered He Jing by the hand and walked out of the booth.

Although the internet celebrities inside the booth were annoyed by Lin Jiayun's attitude, they were undeniably envious...

Envious that she could garner Gu Heng's attention, while they themselves didn't even pique his interest to remember their names...

...

After dragging He Jing to the restroom, the blaring music significantly quieted down.

Seeing Lin Jiayun, who did not go to the stall and instead stood by the sink applying lipstick, He Jing was puzzled and asked, "Jiajia, didn't you need to use the restroom? Why aren't you going?"

Lin Jiayun rolled her eyes upon hearing this, then put the lipstick back into her purse and whispered, "If I really needed to go, why would I bring you here?

I brought you here because I have something to tell you, of course!"

He Jing, looking utterly clueless, her chubby face a blend of confusion and sex appeal.

Upon seeing He Jing's expression, Lin Jiayun shook her head in resignation, "I actually wanted to talk to you about this on our way here, but there were others in the car, so it wasn't a good time to speak."

He Jing, sensing the seriousness on Lin Jiayun's face, felt a vague premonition but still played dumb, "What's it about?"

Lin Jiayun didn't respond; instead, she continued to watch He Jing with a mocking expression until she saw He Jing become a bit uneasy, avoiding eye contact. Only then did Lin Jiayun slowly say, "Do you like Gu Heng?"

He Jing: ???

This unexpected question caught He Jing off guard.

She twitched as if shocked by electricity, then hurriedly said, "No, don't get me wrong, I didn't..."

The denial instinctively spilled out from He Jing's mouth.

Yet, as if she hadn't heard, Lin Jiayun repeated the question, "Don't be incoherent; just tell me, do you like Gu Heng or not?"

There was even an interrogative tone in her voice...

He Jing looked into Lin Jiayun's eyes, silent for over ten seconds before slowly saying, "Actually, I can't really say for sure. If you ask if I don't like him, sometimes he's all I can think about, especially when I see him; it's even easier to get carried away.

But if you ask if I like him... I couldn't tell you what it is about him I like...

But we've known each other for so long, Jiajia, you should know the kind of person I am. I really have no intentions of competing with you for Gu Heng!!"

Lin Jiayun first scoffed upon hearing this, "You don't know what you like about him? You just like his money."

Seeing He Jing about to argue, Lin Jiayun didn't give her a chance to speak, cutting in, "Don't be in such a hurry to deny it. Do you know why I say you like him for his money?

Considering that you've known Gu Heng two years longer than me, if you liked something else about him, why hasn't anything happened between you two in two years? Can you honestly say you had the slightest feelings for Gu Heng before?

If I'm not wrong, you started realizing you liked Gu Heng after he invited you, me, and Xiao Lan out to eat, right?"

```

He Jing, "I won't deny that, but I never liked him just because he was rich. It was because Gu Heng truly helped me that I started to have feelings for him!"

Lin Jiayun's sneer grew even more intense, mixed with a bit of disdain, "Doesn't that still boil down to his wealth? If he had no money and couldn't help you, would you have thought highly of him? I don't think so. Honestly, whether it's him helping you complete a mission by tipping 100,000 in your live stream or having a lawyer handle contract issues for you, all of it is just another manifestation of Gu Heng's wealth.

You've seen 'The Wealthiest Man in Xihong City,' haven't you? There's a film review, I'm not sure if you've heard of it.

Xia Zhu doesn't like money, but every single thing that touches her heart done by Wang Duoyu involves money.

The difference between us two is that my reaction to money is more direct, while you prefer to ascribe other meanings to 'money.'"

After hearing Lin Jiayun's words, He Jing fell completely silent...

Because she knew that what Lin Jiayun said was completely true...

What she liked was the wealthy Gu Heng. If he were the same Gu Heng who made a salary of 4,500 before, it's likely she would never have been able to fall for him in her entire life...

At this thought, He Jing also bitterly said, "I get what you mean. Don't worry, I'll leave right after this. I won't go back to the company anymore. I admit I'm not exactly pure, but I still have my bottom line. I won't compete with my best friend for her boyfriend."

She had thought Lin Jiayun was warning her to stay away from Gu Heng.

But then, the sneer on Lin Jiayun's face slowly turned into a self-mocking smile, "Boyfriend? If only it were that simple..."

He Jing, "???"

Lin Jiayun looked at the puzzled expression on He Jing's face and countered, "Do you think I'm worthy of the title of Gu Heng's girlfriend?"

"What do you mean?"

"It means I'm not really Gu Heng's girlfriend at all. To put it nicely, I'm just one of his sexual companions. To put it harshly, I am a woman who is kept by Gu Heng."

Though He Jing had this suspicion, hearing Lin Jiayun candidly confess everything still made her gasp in surprise, her mouth agape.

Lin Jiayun, however, was unwilling to dwell on this topic any longer and simply said, "I'm telling you all of this not to make a point, but to ask you something. Are you willing to have the same relationship with Gu Heng as I do?"

"???"

Lin Jiayun's words were so blunt that He Jing's mind just couldn't process them.

"From the day I agreed to be with Gu Heng, I knew very well that a man like him couldn't be mine alone. As for why I didn't tell you earlier, it was simply because I was selfish, thinking I could enjoy one more day as one more day.

But I've seen the recent news about Gu Heng online. Even rumors with a top-tier celebrity like Ouyang Nana have surfaced. Do you think there could be no other women elsewhere?

And today, my sense of crisis is even greater.

Whether it's someone like Ouyang Nana or women from elsewhere, I can't interact with them, so I prefer not to think about it.

But look at this group from Wuyou Media. These internet celebrities are right beside us! And not a single one is up to any good.

You've been in the internet celebrity circle, you know how unscrupulous these people can be when it comes to climbing the social ladder!

I'm very aware of Gu Heng's attitude towards you; he definitely likes you. As long as you drop the act, I believe it won't even take till tomorrow, you could win him over tonight!

'We don't let outsiders reap our fertile fields.' I can accept sharing Gu Heng with you, my best friend, but I absolutely cannot accept sharing him with that bunch of vixen tramps.

And even if Gu Heng does have some interactions with those internet celebrities, the two of us can form a best friend alliance! I refuse to believe that the two of us can't outmatch those disjointed schemers. If all else fails, I'll go persuade Xiao Lan! Make her join us too!! The three of us together!"

After listening to Lin Jiayun, He Jing's head was buzzing...

What on earth had she just heard?

If this conversation were posted online, who knows how many people's values would shatter...

Sharing a man between two women is one thing, but Lin Jiayun even had the crazy idea of dragging Xiao Lan into this...

But for some reason...

It was as if a devil was compelling her to respond...

And she subconsciously nodded her head...

The bottom line she clung to was utterly pierced through by Lin Jiayun's few words...
