Beijing Colors Lingering

A few days later, a sex scandal caused a huge uproar in Beijing and online.

Soon, resourceful netizens discovered that the protagonist of this scandal was the daughter of the Gu family in Beijing. Her name, photos, and other information were all posted online, making her the subject of much discussion.

It was lunchtime, and netizens were engaged in continuous online discussions—

[Tsk tsk, the rich really know how to have fun...]

[Ahem, unfortunately we can't discuss this in detail, I'm afraid my comments will be blocked.]

[One of the men was discovered by a netizen to be married.]

[Pah! A scumbag and a mistress, a perfect match!]

Why would someone as beautiful as her get entangled with a married man?

I don't think this guy is any good either.

Yes, a cheating scumbag!

……

At this moment, Gu Sihe is sleeping in a hotel room, with a man involved in a sex scandal lying next to her.

After a long while, she woke up from her sleep. As she sat up, she was just about to get out of bed when an incoming phone rang.

Gu Sihe yawned lazily, slowly picked up her phone from the bedside table, and saw that it was a call from Grandpa Gu.

She immediately answered her grandfather's call, but before she could even speak, his angry roar came through the receiver: "Gu Sihe, where are you now? Get your ass home right now!"

Next, Gu Sihe understood what had happened from her grandfather's questioning and cursing.

After hanging up the phone, she stood there stunned for a while before rushing online to check the trending topics.

She carefully read through the various comments from netizens, feeling as if the sky was about to fall.

Because Gu Sihe has normal physiological needs, she has always had a regular bed partner, and just three days ago she was intimately entwined with him in a hotel.

She recently ran into a boyfriend she had dated before. They drank some alcohol and ended up sleeping together in a daze.

Last night, her ex-boyfriend asked Gu Sihe to meet him for dinner again.

After she finished a glass of red wine, she felt something was wrong, but her ex-boyfriend didn't notice her unusual reaction and simply pulled her towards the hotel.

Gu Sihe thought her ex-boyfriend had secretly added something to her drink to liven things up, so she pretended not to know and let him lead her into the hotel room.

At this moment, her ex-boyfriend also woke up.

When he saw the countless missed calls and unread messages on his phone, his expression suddenly turned panicked.

He quickly put on his clothes and pants, said a few words to Gu Sihe, and hurriedly left the room.

Gu Sihe simply ignored him, not even giving him a glance.

After a while, a hint of annoyance flashed across Gu Sihe's brows. She raised her hand and pressed her temples, as if something had suddenly occurred to her.

Last night's spiked red wine, the paparazzi's videos and photos of her entering and leaving hotels over the past few days, and now a large number of online comments deliberately smearing the facts...

These were all things she had planned to do for Shen Jinsui last time, and now she was using them all on her.

Could it be that Zhou Yancong knew about her previous arrangements, which is why he retaliated in this way?

Gu Sihe's eyelids twitched violently several times, and she felt a sudden chill run down her spine, fearing that Zhou Yancong would continue to retaliate against her.

Gu Sihe quickly dialed her grandfather's number and briefly recounted what she had done and her suspicions. Her voice trembled uncontrollably, revealing a hint of fear.

Grandpa Gu listened quietly to his granddaughter's words, and after a long silence, he sighed deeply and said in a deep voice, "Sihe, go home now, and I will arrange for someone to send you abroad immediately. Don't come back to Beijing again."

"Okay, I'll go home right away."

This time, Gu Sihe did not silently object as she had before, and chose to follow her grandfather's arrangements.

Meanwhile, the Gu Group has not made any official response, allowing the rumors to fester, which has already affected the group's stock and reputation.

While netizens continued their heated discussion, the major families in Beijing realized something: this situation meant that Gu Sihe had been completely abandoned by the Gu family because of the scandal.

After hanging up the phone, Grandpa Gu thought for a long time, then called Grandpa Zhou and relayed what his granddaughter had just said to him. In the end, he begged Zhou Yancong to let Gu Sihe go.

After listening, Grandpa Zhou remained silent for a long time before finally saying simply, "Old Gu, Yan Cong always acts with discretion, so don't worry."

Grandpa Gu understood Grandpa Zhou's unspoken meaning and sighed helplessly. He knew that Zhou Yancong would definitely not let his granddaughter off easily.

Grandpa Zhou didn't say anything more, and after hanging up the phone, he sighed deeply.

Starting today, the Zhou family and the Gu family will completely sever ties.

When Cheng Yu learned the whole story, he immediately stopped all cooperative projects with the Gu family and announced to the public that there would be no future business cooperation with the Gu family.

Soon, everyone learned that the Gu family had offended two of the most powerful families in Beijing.

The next day, Saturday.

In the afternoon, the sky gradually darkened, and dark clouds rolled in, bringing the first light rain of early winter to Beijing.

The light drizzle weaves a silver curtain, falling from the sky and covering the earth.

The city was shrouded in a light drizzle, as if veiled by a hazy filter.

A chill swept over us, and the air was filled with a damp scent, mixed with the fresh fragrance of flowers, grass, and trees.

The Jingsheng Manor has activated an intelligent temperature control system to maintain a comfortable temperature 24 hours a day.

The top-floor bedroom was quiet and cozy, with the sound of rain blocked out, except for the occasional clicks of a mouse and taps on a phone screen.

Shen Jinsui, wearing a spaghetti strap nightgown, was half-lying on the bed, idly browsing the contents of her phone screen, her pair of fair and delicate feet resting on Zhou Yancong's thighs.

Zhou Yancong sat on the edge of the bed, with a mobile desk in front of him and a laptop on it.

He was working at the time, clicking the mouse with his right hand and holding Shen Jinsui's foot with his left, casually stroking the smooth and delicate instep with his thumb.

A moment later, Shen Jinsui saw that several trending topics about the Gu family's daughter from yesterday were still on the trending list.

She looked up at Zhou Yancong and asked curiously, "Is Gu Sihe's matter related to you?"

Shen Jinsui had originally intended to ask Zhou Yancong yesterday, but forgot when she returned to Jingsheng Manor.

Zhou Yancong didn't say anything upon hearing this, but gently squeezed her foot while still focusing intently on the computer screen.

Seeing that Zhou Yancong did not answer, Shen Jinsui decisively pulled her foot out of his hand, casually kicked his thigh, and snorted to express her dissatisfaction.

A faint smile appeared on Zhou Yancong's lips as his long, slender hand with distinct knuckles grasped Shen Jinsui's foot once more, enveloping it in his palm.

He gently stroked that small, delicate foot, his eyes filled with doting affection, as if he were holding a rare treasure.

After a moment, Zhou Yancong spoke slowly, his voice lazy and magnetic: "Hmm, it's just giving them a taste of their own medicine?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jinsui was slightly taken aback, but then she understood what Zhou Yancong meant.

Shen Jinsui remembered that Gu Sihe had gone to see Ji Yan before, so she guessed that Gu Sihe was planning to create a scandal between herself and Ji Yan.

Shen Jinsui was speechless, secretly thinking that Gu Sihe had reaped what she sowed this time.

There's nothing wrong with liking someone, but she should let go as soon as she finds out that the other person has a partner.

After a while, Zhou Yancong shut down the computer and pushed open the movable desk.

He then stood up, bent down, and picked Shen Jinsui up in his arms.

Shen Jinsui, who was deep in thought, suddenly snapped out of it, naturally raised her hands, affectionately wrapped them around Zhou Yancong's neck, and looked up at him to ask, "Are you done with your work?"

"Mmm." Zhou Yancong lowered his head and kissed Shen Jinsui's lips. His eyes were deep and fiery, as if he wanted to devour the person in his arms.

Zhou Yancong carried Shen Jinsui into the bathroom and whispered meaningfully, "Now we should do other things."

A deep, slightly husky voice entered Shen Jinsui's ears, and her face immediately turned shy, her cheeks flushing red.

Not long after, the sound of churning water came from the bathroom, mixed with disordered breathing and soft kicking.
