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

Chapter 104

"Haven't you caused enough trouble already?"

Gu Jinhuai subconsciously replied with this sentence, and I immediately fell silent, lowering my head in thought.

This road is both familiar and unfamiliar to me; it's the road to the company. I don't know what Gu Jinhuai is going to do.

After a long pause and not hearing me speak, the man beside me said, "That's not what I meant. I meant that our interests are now intertwined..."

As I listened to his explanation, my brow furrowed slightly, and my tone turned much colder: "I know I won't embarrass you, much less your company. You can rest assured about that. If you need me to clarify, I can. I guarantee that I have absolutely no feelings for you right now."

I raised three fingers above my head as a gesture of assurance.

"I don't need you to do that."

Gu Jinhuai looked displeased, raised his hand and grabbed my hand, his voice turning cold.

As we spoke, we arrived at the company building. Looking out the window at the towering and imposing office building, I suddenly felt timid and didn't want to go up.

Gu Jinhuai, who had gotten out of the car, waited for a while, but I didn't get out. He walked over directly, opened the passenger door, and saw that I had a pale face. He subconsciously moved closer and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Were you scared?"

I looked up at the man standing with his back to the light, remained silent for a while, and then said, "Actually, you don't have to do this. Anyway, the marriage certificate is fake. If you really want to anger Song Yuan, you can just use the marriage certificate to provoke her. There's no need for me to get involved."

I know Gu Jinhuai's temper; he's vindictive and holds grudges, but he's incredibly kind to Song Yuan and can tolerate her endlessly.

"What are you thinking? What do you mean by fake? That's real."

Gu Jinhuai gave me a heavy tap on the head, his tone filled with helplessness.

"hiss……"

I instinctively covered my head, staring at him with a mournful expression, not understanding what he meant.

"Zhou Nanzhi, you're clearly a top student, how come you're so clueless about this kind of thing?"

Gu Jinhuai sighed softly, giving me no more time to speak, and bent down to pull me out of the car.

"These days, you can't get into a university without my recommendation letter."

Listening to Gu Jinhuai's words, I belatedly realized and said, "You're not trying to trick me, are you?"

Anger flashed in my eyes, but the man in front of me did not show any anger.

"Afraid I'll lie to you?"

"you!"

I glared at him angrily and was about to shake off his hand and leave, but he grabbed my wrist and slid his hand down to interlock my fingers.

"Since it's all an act, then act it out properly. The contract states that as a subordinate, you must cooperate with all your superior's requests without question."

"Where? I don't see it."

I felt a sudden panic, and my voice was tinged with nervousness.

Gu Jinhuai stared at me intently with his dark eyes: "Page 15, Item 3, Line 10."

Seeing how clearly he remembered it, and recalling the time of signing the contract and the man's meaningful look, I felt annoyed that I hadn't read the contract carefully.

Why are things going further and further off track? He's not usually like this, so why is he suddenly acting like a scoundrel?

"How could you lie to me? You may be a businessman, but you've always been fair and just. How could you do this..."

I stared at the man in front of me with a mournful face, feeling him getting further and further away.

"treacherous?"

Gu Jinhuai followed my words, but still had a smile on his face: "Zhou Nanzhi, no businessman is without cunning. This is the first lesson I'm teaching you. Learn it well."

Finally, Gu Jinhuai led me inside. When the receptionist saw Gu Jinhuai, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but after working at Gu's for so many years, she hadn't done it for nothing. She quickly concealed her surprise and respectfully greeted him, "Hello, Young Master Gu."

I wasn't surprised by this title, because the company was built from scratch by Gu Jinhuai's father, Gu Bolin, but since high school, Gu Jinhuai had been involved in some of the company's projects.

To distinguish between the two bosses surnamed Gu, the company staff often call Gu Bolin "President Gu" and Gu Jinhuai "Young Master Gu".

Before I knew it, Gu Jinhuai had pulled me up to the top floor. I was filled with anxiety the whole way, wondering what Gu Jinhuai was going to do.

To my surprise, after he arrived at the top floor, he simply arranged for me to wait in an office, where I met an old acquaintance again—Peng Hui.

When he saw me, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly masked it.

Gu Jinhuai was in a hurry. After arranging for me to be with Peng Hui, he left, leaving Peng Hui and me staring at each other.

Thinking back to my past life, Peng Hui was the one who made things difficult for me quite a bit.

Noticing my gaze fixed on him, Peng Hui's face flashed with embarrassment. But the shrewd man took the initiative to stand in front of me, his attitude respectful. However, his eyes, once lowered, began to look for an excuse to slip away and tip someone off.

"Miss Zhou, what would you like to drink?"

"I heard there's a place in Shili Lane nearby that makes good orange juice. Could you please go and buy me a cup?"

My face wore a harmless smile, and my eyes were crystal clear, making it hard to believe that someone like me would play pranks.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Peng Hui's face, but he still agreed.

"Okay, wait a moment."

I watched him leave the office. As soon as I walked over and lifted the curtain, I saw him take out his phone, look around a few times, and then go to the side to send a message.

I watched his actions, a cold smile curling at the corner of my lips.

Sure enough, before I even got the orange juice, an uninvited guest arrived.

Unexpectedly, the person who came was not Song Yuan, but her younger sister Song Yuyan.

The woman wore a light pink Peter Pan collar dress and matching high heels. She walked with a confident stride, the clattering sound of her heels clearly finding my resting place as she approached.

I slammed the door open, and Peng Hui, feigning helplessness, looked at me anxiously, putting on a good-natured act as he blocked my way: "Miss Song, this..."

Before Peng Hui could finish speaking, Song Yuyan impatiently pushed him away.

Song Yuyan was still seething with anger after being splashed with juice last time. Unexpectedly, she overheard Song Yuan talking on the phone this morning, saying that Zhou Nanzhi actually showed up at Gu's company. How could such a parasite like her stay in a place like this?

“Zhou Nanzhi, have you no shame? You not only seduced my brother-in-law, but you also lied to me with a fake marriage certificate. I knew it! How could my brother-in-law possibly fall for a woman as cunning as you?”

"Now that your plan has failed, you still want to come in and seduce my brother-in-law. To attract attention, you even sell counterfeit goods and wear the same clothes as my sister. Look at the cheap stuff you're wearing, just like you."

The office door was wide open, and Song Yuyan's voice was loud; every word she said reached the ears of all the employees in the office. Peng Hui subconsciously moved to the side, making more space in front of the door, giving those who loved to gossip more room.

Even without looking, I could sense that after Song Yuyan finished speaking, the way those people looked at me changed, becoming filled with doubt and contempt.

I looked at them, my face cold, but my hands clenched tightly. This was Gu Jinhuai's purpose in bringing me here: half to please, half to humiliate. Was it to avenge Song Yuan?

I took a deep breath, my calm eyes fixed on Song Yuyan, waiting for her to continue.

Song Yuyan was intimidated by my gaze, but considering the large number of people present and her own status, she was certain I wouldn't dare to resist. Her venomous eyes and humiliating words came one after another.

“Zhou Nanzhi, don’t covet what doesn’t belong to you. You’re just a stinking rat from the gutter. How dare you admire my brother-in-law? Today I’ll make you understand what happens when you love someone who doesn’t belong to you.”

As Song Yuyan spoke, she began to move her wrists and ankles, making a loud cracking sound as she pinched her fingers, which sent chills down the spines of those who heard it.

I had been avoiding Song Yuyan because I didn't want to have a conflict with her. Song Yuyan has been arrogant since she was a child, not to mention that she has been learning martial arts since she was young. When she fights, no one can beat her.

As I watched her approach, I instinctively stepped back, always keeping a safe distance.

"Hahaha, you're scared now? Weren't you very tough last time? You even splashed orange juice all over my face."

The thought of the sticky feeling on her face made Song Yuyan look at me with anger and hatred.

"Why are you running? My brother-in-law can't take care of you right now, you can't escape."

Upon hearing this, my pupils contracted. As she gradually approached, my heart leaped into my throat, but I feigned composure and decided to stall for time.

"Your sister is here too?"

"Of course, my sister has already gone to find my brother-in-law. Zhou Nanzhi, you shameless mistress, you have no chance."

As Song Yuyan spoke, she seemed to have seen through my intention, and her smile widened.

"Zhou Nanzhi, are you trying to stall for time and wait for Gu Jinhuai to come and save you? I won't give you another chance."

Song Yuyan stopped smiling and gave me no more time to talk nonsense. A murderous glint flashed in her eyes. Then, she lightly leaped up and was about to kick me in the face.

I was prepared, so I ducked and grabbed the glass photo album from the table, smashing it at her face.
