Quick Wear: An honest man is always criticized for forced love

When they came back again, they didn't know what they were talking about. They stopped when they saw Shen Jun. Shen Jun held two cups of coffee and placed them steadily in front of them.

The cup hit the glass table with a crisp sound. Pang Zhuo picked up the coffee and put it to his lips and took a sip. The bitter taste immediately filled his mouth. He pinched the handle of the coffee cup as if he had something to say.

Before Shen Jun turned around, Pang Zhuo called him, "Shen Jun," his voice was calm, but Shen Jun could still see some hesitation in his eyes.

"Although this may be a little unfair to you, but considering that you are Shen An's child, I still think there are some things you should know."

Shen Jun stood there holding the tray of coffee, feeling an inexplicable panic. His intuition told him that what Pang Zhuo was going to say next might be difficult for him to accept.

"You may not know yet that Gu Jingzhou is going to marry my cousin Lu Wan." Pang Zhuo's voice was a little hesitant, but Shen Jun did not show the expected shocked expression. On the contrary, he seemed very calm, which surprised Pang Zhuo.

On the contrary, Xu Zhixi, who was sitting next to him, was so frightened by his words that he almost spit out his coffee. "What...what? Your cousin? Your omega cousin who grew up abroad?"

Xu Zhixi's reaction was so abnormal that the two had to turn their eyes to Gu Zhixi. "Yes, it's him. Do you have any opinion?" Pang Zhuo asked with some disgust.

Xu Zhixi smiled awkwardly, "No...nothing, I'm just surprised that Lu Wan is actually your cousin."

Pang Zhuo took another sip of the coffee in his hand and then said, "Nothing to be surprised about. We are not familiar with each other and have not interacted much since we were young."

"So..." Pang Zhuo looked at Shen Jun, "From your expression, you already know about this."

Shen Jun nodded. He indeed knew it. It happened yesterday, less than three meters away from where Shen Jun was standing.

"Uncle Shen treats me like an elder. You are his child. I don't want to see you stuck in the mud. The friendship between the Gu family and the Lu family is much deeper than you think, both emotionally and business-wise."

"This marriage is inevitable. I heard that Gu Jingzhou returned to his family today and made a big fuss just to cancel this ridiculous marriage. Gu's father, who has always doted on his children, was so angry that he fainted. He is still lying in the hospital." Pang Zhuo raised his head and glanced at Shen Jun meaningfully.

Although his face still had that indifferent expression, his slightly trembling hands betrayed Shen Jun's inner thoughts.

"I don't know much about the Gu family's affairs, but don't worry, Gu Jingzhou and I are not in the relationship you think..." Shen Jun explained haltingly, perhaps he didn't even realize that his voice was trembling.

Pang Zhuo just shook his head when he saw him like this. Gu Jingzhou had made his father very angry because of Shen Jun's matter. Later, Shen Jun ran away with someone else. Gu's father thought he could finally let it go, but who knew that Shen Jun would come back again.

Presumably, this time, the two people from the Gu family would never let Gu Jingzhou make the same mistake again. Since they couldn't persuade him there, they had to persuade this side. During these days in the hospital, Pang Zhuo also realized that Shen Jun was not as heartless and profit-driven as the rumors said.

Some things should be said only when they are mentioned. Pang Zhuo did not say anything more, and Shen Jun also tactfully took the plate and walked away.

Looking at Shen Jun's lonely back, Pang Zhuo felt a little bit reluctant for a moment. Perhaps... he shouldn't interfere with other people's karma, but... Shen An once told him that he only hoped that his child could live a peaceful and stable life in the future. He didn't want him to be rich, but just wanted him to be healthy and safe.

Since Shen An couldn't say these words, it would be better for him to say them. Pang Zhuo hoped that Shen Jun could understand that he and Gu Jingzhou were not from the same world.

But after saying it, Pang Zhuo felt depressed again, and he didn't know why.

"Is Lu Wanzhen your cousin?" Xu Zhixi asked again as if he was not giving up.

Pang Zhuo was annoyed by his question and frowned, "If he's not my cousin, then is he yours? Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Xu Zhixi immediately put on a submissive look and murmured in a low voice: "Don't be so fierce, I just heard that he had a lot of fun abroad, so I asked you... After all, your family tradition is so strict, it feels like you two don't seem like a family..."

"What do you mean? What do you mean by playing with extravagance?" Pang Zhuo heard something strange in Xu Zhixi's words.

"That's... literally. When I was studying abroad, I met the Chinese playboys a few times when we went out together. Lu Wan... well, he looks quiet and gentle, but he has always had a lot of lovers around him. I heard that he even washed his hands several times."

The more Xu Zhixi spoke, the more Pang Zhuo's brows furrowed. "Have you told anyone else what you said?" Pang Zhuo asked.

"No, I told you."

Pang Zhuo narrowed his light brown eyes slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking. After a long time, Pang Zhuo picked up the almost cold coffee on the table and took a sip. The bitterness was even stronger than before.

Shen Jun was a little out of shape the whole day. He wiped the water stains on the operating table, and kept replaying Pang Zhuo's words in his mind: "You are not from the same world."

Indeed, he does not belong to this world, and Gu Jingzhou does not belong to him either. Everything that is happening now is just the requirement of the plot. Shen Jun understands that the plot is developing in a normal direction, but he still feels a dull pain in his heart when he occasionally thinks of Gu Jingzhou.

Why is this? Shen Jun thought, this was the way it was supposed to go, there was nothing to be sad about, this meant that he would be able to finish filming soon, which was great, wasn't it?

Shen Jun tried hard to comfort himself, this was how it should be, it was supposed to be this way, everything was finally getting on track.

Shen Jun opened several scenarios sent by the system in his mind, and he picked one of them, a script called Death Escape, and put it in the to-do list.

It was not yet time to get off work and there were not many people in the coffee shop. Shen Jun packed up his things in the shop and waited for the time to get off work. He found a part-time job in a nightclub today, earning 300 yuan for two hours, which was a considerable salary. They were urgently looking for people, so he asked him to go tonight.

Gu Jingzhou sent a message half an hour ago saying that he would not be going home tonight. Shen Jun probably guessed that he was in the hospital taking care of his father who was angered by him. Fortunately, he was not coming back, which made it convenient for Shen Jun to do a part-time job.

The lights in the coffee shop were turned off. After crossing two streets and a dim alley, Shen Jun finally arrived at the door of the bar where he worked part-time. The decoration of the bar looked magnificent. It was hidden in a corner of a busy city, but it had an imposing manner that was hard to ignore.

No wonder the salary is so high, Shen Jun thought.

The manager took him to change into a set of work clothes. His job was mainly to deliver wine to each box. If he could sell a few more bottles, he would get a commission. The work content was simple, but before going in, the manager couldn't help but warn him to stay away from those drunk Alphas.

Shen Jun listened carefully and nodded. Seeing that he was a Beta, the manager didn't say much. He just told Shen Jun some precautions and asked him to go in and wait.

The lights in the bar were dim, and the loud music made Shen Jun's eardrums tremble. The unfamiliar place made him a little nervous, but fortunately he completed the first task.

The manager asked him to deliver a few bottles of wine to 301. Shen Jun agreed, took the wine, a corkscrew and an ice bucket and went up to the third floor.

From time to time, the laughter of guests could be heard in the stairwell. Shen Jun remembered the first time he met Gu Jingzhou, which was also in a bar.
