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

Chapter 100

"Gu Jinhuai, you..."

Song Yuan's face was pale, and her eyes were wet with tears. In the end, she couldn't say anything.

"Xiaoyuan."

Liu Ke, who had been silent for a long time, looked at her frail body, reached out and put his arm around her, his eyes full of concern and tenderness.

Gu Jinhuai frowned. I quietly observed his reaction and belatedly realized that he probably knew that the woman he liked was with another man and had another man's child. He was using me as a cover for revenge.

I glanced at the marriage certificate; it was probably fake too. I didn't say anything and just watched this farce unfold.

"Gu Jinhuai, you've gone too far."

Song Yuan looked frail, stumbled back a step, and fell into Liu Ke's arms. After holding back for a long time, she only said one sentence before grabbing her bag and leaving.

"Xiaoyuan."

Liu Ke called out, his gaze lingered on me for a moment, and then he chased after me.

"Zhou Nanzhi, you're shameless!"

Across from me, Song Yuyan's face was full of anger. She grabbed a glass of water from the table and splashed it in my direction.

I glanced at it, and before I knew it, Song Yuyan's hands were too fast. The next moment, Gu Jinhuai's tall body shielded me in his arms.

His cold gaze fixed on Song Yuyan, like an endless abyss, leaving Song Yuyan momentarily speechless.

I pushed Gu Jinhuai away, glanced at his wet clothes, and without hesitation, grabbed the glass full of orange juice and splashed it at Song Yuyan.

"what……"

Song Yuyan opened her mouth in surprise, ready to curse, but instead, she was greeted with a mouthful of orange juice.

"Zhou Nanzhi, I'll kill you!"

Song Yuyan lost her temper and rushed towards me. I gripped the empty cup in my hand and smashed it hard in the direction she was rushing from.

With a loud bang, shards of the cup flew everywhere, showing how much force had been used. Shards were scattered all around Song Yuyan's feet, and a few pieces even cut her calf, drawing bright red blood instantly.

"A madman should stay in a mental hospital and not come out to harm people."

I stared at her coldly. A hint of fear flashed across Song Yuyan's eyes, but it was replaced by anger.

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on me, some with surprise and doubt, some scrutinizing me, but I didn't care at all.

I was about to leave the private room when my shoes betrayed me, and I stumbled after just one step. Someone in the room couldn't help but chuckle. I bit my lip, glanced at the annoying shoes on my feet, and was about to take them off when my feet suddenly felt light, and I was picked up by Gu Jinhuai.

"Put me down."

He always appears when I'm at my most embarrassed; I don't know if he's doing it on purpose.

"obedient."

Gu Jinhuai's smile didn't fade before he stared at me. I glanced at him, and felt even more annoyed.

"None of the clothes I give away are counterfeit."

Gu Jinhuai left home after saying that.

The man gentlemanly carried me to the car, without blushing or panting. I didn't say anything, but Gu Jinhuai couldn't stand the silence and asked, "Are you sulking?"

"What do you say?"

I gave a cold laugh, glanced at him sideways, and asked.

"You think I brought you here today to spite Song Yuan, and that I didn't speak up for you just now because I wanted to embarrass you?"

As I listened to Gu Jinhuai's words, I raised an eyebrow slightly, my expression remaining icy: "You know the answer yourself."

I saw that he was about to say something, but I was too lazy to pay attention, so I just closed my eyes.

After a long pause, Gu Jinhuai let out a long sigh, then started the car and asked, "Where do you live?"

"Hospital."

I glanced at the time; it was only eight o'clock. Su Qi had just told me that Aunt Hui had woken up, and I was planning to go check on her.

To my surprise, when Gu Jinhuai heard that I was going to the hospital, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he still went to the hospital as I requested.

Is she good to you?

Gu Jinhuai's sudden words startled me for a second. After thinking for a while, I slowly said, "She is very good to me. Besides, this is my private matter. You have overstepped your bounds."

I rolled my eyes at him. After arriving at the hospital, I kicked Gu Jinhuai out of the car, changed my clothes, and then got out of the car to go to the hospital.

He glanced at his sneakers and said, "My sneakers are still the most comfortable."

It feels so good to be grounded.

Even the air felt much fresher.

Gu Jinhuai stared at me for a long time, his eyes deep and unfocused, as if he were thinking about something. Finally, he uttered a sentence: "I'm sorry to trouble you. You don't need to accompany me to social events anymore."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across my eyes. I looked at Gu Jinhuai, and the emotion in his eyes vanished instantly. He accompanied me into the hospital.

I stopped just as I reached the door because Aunt Hui was talking to Fu Yiran inside.

“Son, Nan Zhi is a nice girl, I like her a lot. If you like her, don’t miss out. Mom can’t be there for you forever, you have to plan for your future too. You’ve graduated and you’re very successful, so don’t worry about me all the time. This money is what I’ve saved up over the years, just to help you get married.”

“We are just ordinary people, and this is all we can give. Mom just hopes you can be alright.”

As I listened to Aunt Hui's words, my fingertips curled slightly, and a bittersweet feeling welled up in my heart.

I am not good enough for Fu Yiran now.

He is a man of integrity, gentleness, and generosity, and he is a man of comprehensive abilities, but I am not good enough for him now.

I suppressed the bitterness in my heart, gripped the doorknob, and didn't push the door open.

"Mom, I'll figure out my own way. Nanzhi is indeed a good girl. I will work hard to become better and be worthy of him."

As I listened to Fu Yiran's gentle words, my heart suddenly ached, and a feeling of suffocation slowly spread through me.

What a pity! If I had met you sooner, perhaps I wouldn't be in such dire straits.

I took a deep breath, composed my expression, and then heard a soft voice above me: "What? Regretting it? Tempted?"

I met Gu Jinhuai's dark eyes and said earnestly, "Yeah, I regret it. If I had met him sooner, would things have turned out differently?"

I forced a bitter smile, but decided against pushing the door open and going in.

With Gu Jinhuai around, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause.

However, Gu Jinhuai seemed to sense my hesitation. Before I could turn around, he pushed the door open, put his arm around my waist, and walked inside.

Panic flashed in my eyes, and I was about to pull my hand away when he warned me, "Don't move, or I might do something even worse."

"you……"

I gritted my teeth and glared at him fiercely.

"Nanzhi has arrived."

Aunt Hui had a smile on her face, but when she saw the man next to me, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes, but she quickly composed herself.

"Who is this?"

Aunt Hui's gaze fell on Gu Jinhuai.

"Hello, I am her husband. Zhizhi told me that you took good care of her during her time in Lincheng, so I came here to thank you."

As he spoke, Gu Jinhuai put the gifts he was carrying aside.

"Flammable, go help quickly."

Aunt Hui glanced at Fu Yiran, who was standing to the side in a daze, and spoke in a low voice.

"Oh."

Fu Yiran's gaze fell on Gu Jinhuai's hand on my shoulder, and he felt inexplicably annoyed, but he had no right or position to say anything at the moment.

She simply accepted the gift from Gu Jinhuai and put it aside.

"Please sit down."

Aunt Hui spoke with a smile.

I didn't notice when Gu Jinhuai picked up the gift. Noticing my suspicious gaze, Gu Jinhuai just affectionately rubbed my head, his gaze gentle, and smiled without saying a word.

"You're her husband, you're married?"

This was the first time Fu Yiran had spoken since he came in, but his voice was somewhat hoarse.

"Ah."

"When did this happen? I've never heard Zhizhi mention it before."

Fu Yiran's eyes gradually sharpened.

"I……"

I really wanted to explain, but Gu Jinhuai didn't give me the chance.

"Flammable".

Aunt Hui noticed that her son was acting strangely and coughed softly.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Fu Yiran's eyes were full of worry.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little thirsty. Go get me some water, I need to talk to Nanzhi for a bit."

I glanced at Gu Jinhuai and gave him a look, but the man seemed not to see it and completely ignored it.

I frowned, but Fu Yiran walked up to Gu Jinhuai and said in a gentle voice, "Let's talk."

Gu Jinhuai glanced at it, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then left.

……

After leaving the hospital, Gu Jinhuai looked at me with a somewhat unpleasant expression and a cold demeanor. His voice was clear and hoarse, and his gaze towards me carried a unique and profound meaning: "Why didn't you tell me?"

"what?"

I stared at him, puzzled, wondering what Fu Yiran had said to him that made him react so strongly.

"never mind."

Gu Jinhuai frowned, and after a long while, he uttered those two words and got into the car. I glanced at him, and the car window slowly rolled down. The man gave me a sidelong look and said coldly, "Get in the car."
