After seven years of being a "simp," she's reborn and no longer pursuing the aloof sc

Chapter Ten

"Gu Nanzhi, what gives you the right to say you don't want it?"

He led me for a long time, then suddenly stopped, looked down at me, his dark pupils reflecting my image, his eyes slightly upturned, full of affection.

For a moment, I felt as if I could sense his affection for me, but I quickly withdrew that feeling.

I shoved him away, memories of my past life surfaced, my voice involuntarily became more nasal, and my eyes burned with anger as I looked at him: "Gu Jinghuai, don't be so selfish. You're just arousing your resentment, you just feel like no one is licking your boots anymore, you're not satisfied. The one you like and approve of has never been me."

I finished speaking slowly and deliberately, and looking at Gu Jinghuai, who was standing there in a daze and didn't say a word, I felt as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I went home feeling light and airy.

As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw my parents sitting happily on the sofa. In addition, there was a man with an oily face, a big belly, and bald temples due to his age.

Upon hearing the sound at the door, all three pairs of eyes turned to me. I knew something was wrong, but it was too late.

My mother ran up to me, grabbed my arm tightly, and although she was smiling, her eyes warned me: "Come in quickly, you need to see people."

I was forcibly pulled over, and all I saw was my father, who was uncharacteristically humble, pouring tea for the old man.

"Mr. Zhang, have some tea."

But the moment I walked in, Mr. Zhang's eyes were glued to me.

His gaze was so sinister that it made me uncomfortable. I tried to make an excuse to go back to my bedroom, but my father glared at me with a sharp look. I broke out in a cold sweat and reluctantly sat down opposite Mr. Zhang.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang."

I smiled ingratiatingly.

"Yes, this is your daughter. She's very nice. I like her very much."

Mr. Zhang's gaze lingered on me, as if he wanted to strip me naked; I felt the hairs on my body stand on end.

I was mentally prepared, but I still felt a little uneasy.

"Okay, go ahead and chat."

Seeing my parents about to leave, I realized what was about to happen. I panicked and clung tightly to my mother's arm, refusing to let go.

"Mom, I'm still half a month away from turning 18, and I still have to take the college entrance exam."

Before his mother could speak, his father snapped, "What's the point of taking the college entrance exam? You're just a peasant, what kind of brain do you have? Just serve Mr. Zhang well, keep him happy, and you can have anything you want."

Finally, I watched helplessly as my father led my mother away. My mother looked numb and didn't say a word when she looked at me.

My heart sank lower and lower. I was completely disheartened about this family. Tell me, what kind of kind-hearted parents would invite a strange man into their home and abuse their daughter? Only the two of them in the world would do that.

The door slammed shut, pulling me back to reality. The next moment, Mr. Zhang was already rubbing his hands together, eagerly sitting down next to me.

Just as he was about to make a move, I looked up at him and negotiated with him in a tone and manner unbecoming of my age.

"Mr. Zhang, do you want a woman you can replace at any time, or do you need an assistant who can help you get promoted and earn a raise?"

There was a moment of silence. Mr. Zhang's smile froze for a second before he relaxed again. He placed his groping hand on my shoulder and said arrogantly, "You're too young to talk big in front of me. I've been there. Don't try to fool me."

I suppressed my nausea and subtly avoided his hand, moving it to the side. My tone was serious: "Mr. Zhang, do you think I'm joking? Your wife will file for divorce in three days. Why don't you check her recent spending records and see where she spent her money? This is my sincerity. Anyway, it's only three days, and you won't lose anything."

Finally, after much persuasion, Mr. Zhang agreed to my request. Watching him leave, I let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Knowing my parents' usual behavior, they probably won't be back tonight, so I can finally get a good night's sleep.

The next morning, as soon as I came out of the community, I saw my father lying on the chair downstairs in a disheveled state, covered with my mother's coat. I didn't know where my mother was.

I glanced at him with disgust and quickly left. Just as I reached the next intersection, I saw Gu Jinghuai riding a bicycle, his two long legs on either side, one hand gripping the handlebars, and his right hand raised to check the time.

I glanced at it, crossed the street on the pedestrian crossing, and left. Gu Jinghuai behind me also saw it, but he didn't move.

Not long after I left, Song Yuan appeared in front of Gu Jinghuai.

"Excuse me, I'm a bit late. Is that Zhou Nanzhi up ahead?"

Upon hearing Song Yuan's voice, I quickened my pace.

As soon as I arrived at school, I noticed that everyone in the class was looking at me. I don't know if I was seeing things, but I felt that their eyes were filled with pity.

As soon as I got to my seat, I saw Gu Zi with puffed-up cheeks and an angry expression. But when she saw me, her expression instantly changed to one of heartache.

"Nanzhi, why didn't you tell me you were being bullied? Song Yuan went too far. How could she treat you like that?"

I was completely confused, and the classmates around me gave me sympathetic looks.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

As soon as I finished asking, Gu Zi took out her phone, opened a video, and there was only me and Song Yuan in the video. I was wearing a backpack and standing face to face with her.

The person who took the photos had a very clever angle, capturing both Song Yuan and me clearly, as if afraid of being mistaken for someone else.

Song Yuan's arrogant voice came from the video.

“Zhou Nanzhi, you come from a rural area and are not good enough for Gu Jinghuai. You should stay away from him. We are about to take the college entrance exam, and we should focus on our studies. Your persistent pestering will only annoy him…”

Hearing those familiar words, I suddenly remembered that these were the words Song Yuan had said to me the night before last. Who took that picture? And they were so good at it.

I thank his ancestors for eighteen generations.

Immediately afterwards, my voice came from the video: "Is this troubling you? Don't worry, I don't like Gu Jinghuai, not now, and certainly not in the future. If you really like him, then watch closely."

My words were met with an uproar.

Before Gu Zhi could speak, a hand suddenly reached out and snatched my phone. As soon as I looked up, I saw Gu Jinghuai forcefully throw the phone, which slammed against the wall with a bang.

The screen shattered into pieces, and the sound in the video abruptly stopped. Then, Gu Jinghuai walked towards me, radiating coldness, his eyes fixed on me like a hungry wolf, which frightened me.

Seeing this, Gu Zi instinctively blocked me behind him.

"What you want to do is none of Nanzhi's business."

I looked gratefully at Gu Zi, who was standing in front of me, a mocking smile playing on my lips.

It's always been like this. Whenever something goes wrong, it's always my fault, and he only dares to come after me to blame him.

Sure enough, the next second, Gu Jinghuai gripped my wrist tightly, his eyes filled with malice as he questioned, "Why did you take these photos secretly?"
