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

Chapter 105

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

Song Yuyan's pupils contracted, and she instinctively dodged backward to avoid the photo album. With a loud thud, the album fell heavily to the ground, and the glass shattered instantly.

I stared at the photo on the ground. It was a picture of Gu Jinhuai and Song Yuan from junior high school. Although they hadn't grown up yet, the man had a gentle demeanor.

Although his expression was serious, I could see the tenderness in his eyes. He wore a white shirt and black overalls.

The woman, needless to say, had a gentle smile on her face, wore a white dress, had lush green grass behind her, and her eyes sparkled with dazzling light.

Just as I was staring blankly at the photo, Song Yuyan's scolding voice came: "You're so vicious! You can't stand to see them doing well, can you? I'll beat you to death!"

As Song Yuyan shouted, her leg came flying toward my face. I could feel the wind whistling through the air. I looked up and watched her get closer. I stood firmly on the spot, my dark pupils contracting as I watched her leg approach.

In an instant, I felt a gust of wind behind me, and then I fell into a warm embrace.

The man put his arm around my waist, spun me around, and held me tightly in his arms, his back taking the blow of Song Yuyan's kick.

Song Yuyan used all her strength, wishing she could kick me to death. When she saw the figure that suddenly appeared, her pupils contracted, but she did not withdraw her strength.

Song Yuyan believes that everyone who protects Zhou Nanzhi deserves to die.

With a bang, I was so startled that I closed my eyes, my eyelashes trembling slightly, but the man didn't utter a sound, only his face was gloomy.

"Is everything okay?"

After a long pause, Gu Jinhuai's deep voice sounded from above, his eyes filled with urgency and worry as he looked at me.

I stared blankly at him, but Gu Jinhuai thought I was terrified. He reached out his large hand and gently rubbed my head a few times. Then, his sharp gaze fixed on Song Yuyan, as if he were looking at a dead person, and his voice was chillingly cold.

"What do you want? Who gave you permission to come in?"

The onlookers had already left in a hurry when Gu Jinhuai arrived. Song Yuyan across from me turned pale. She hadn't expected Gu Jinhuai to appear so suddenly. She stumbled and her gaze fell on the shattered photo on the ground. She glared at me angrily.

“It was her. She smashed the photo of you and your sister. She didn’t pick it up but stomped on it. This is a photo of you and your sister. I won’t allow it.”

Song Yuyan rebuked me sharply, and when she looked at me, a smug smile appeared in her eyes.

I sensed the coldness emanating from Gu Jinhuai, and even the grip on my hand tightened slightly. I felt a pang of panic, bit my lower lip, and looked up, my clear, bright eyes meeting Gu Jinhuai's gaze. I instinctively retorted, "I didn't."

My explanation was weak and lacked any evidence. Over the years, he has never believed anything I've said, and my rebuttal just now was merely a subconscious one.

During this time, Song Yuyan gave Peng Hui a look, who pushed up his glasses and carefully walked up to Gu Jinhuai to testify: "Young Master Gu, it was indeed Miss Zhou who smashed the photo."

In an instant, the air froze, and a chill rose from the soles of my feet, spreading throughout my limbs. My whole body stiffened, and a mist appeared before my eyes. At this moment, I couldn't see Gu Jinhuai's expression, but I knew his reaction.

He released me expressionlessly, his gaze falling on the photo on the ground. He bent down to pick it up, and I inexplicably shuddered.

I knew I had offended Gu Jinhuai, and instinctively I backed away, wanting to escape, but my weak legs wouldn't move.

"What are you running for?"

Gu Jinhuai glanced at me sideways, his gaze falling on my pale face. His brows furrowed slightly, and he lost all interest in joking. He picked up the photo and walked towards me.

"You...what do you want to do?"

My heart was in my throat. Song Yuyan's buddy Peng Hui exchanged a glance with me, then looked at me with schadenfreude.

I clenched my fingers tightly, ready to fight back.

The next second, my hand was grabbed, and with a tearing sound, Gu Jinhuai, in front of everyone, held my hand and tore the photo to shreds. Finally, he held my hand and threw all the scraps of paper at Song Yuyan's face.

"what……"

Gu Jinhuai hit her hard, and Song Yuyan felt as if her face had been hit by a stone. She instinctively closed her eyes and screamed.

Clutching her aching cheek, she stared in disbelief at the torn photos on the ground. Then came Gu Jinhuai's nonchalant voice: "It's my wife's right to do whatever she wants. Even if she demolishes this office, I'd be happy. Who do you think you are, daring to hurt her?"

Gu Jinhuai's eyes sharpened as he looked at the last four words, staring at Song Yuyan as if she were a dead person.

Song Yuyan felt a chill run down her spine, as if her whole body was covered in ice and snow, and she couldn't move.

"How many times has this happened?"

Gu Jinhuai's gaze fell on Peng Hui, his tone icy, yet his statement was a statement of certainty.

"Young Master Gu, I..."

Peng Hui wanted to defend himself, but when Gu Jinhuai’s gaze swept over, his throat seemed to be constricted, and he couldn’t utter a single syllable.

"Go to the finance department and collect your salary."

Gu Jinhuai put his arm around my trembling shoulders, frowned slightly, and finally fixed his gaze on Song Yuyan.

Peng Hui, standing to the side, didn't dare to say a word, quietly hiding like a coward.

"From now on, you are not allowed to set foot in the Gu family without my permission. If you dare to come, I don't mind hitting women."

Gu Jinhuai glanced indifferently at Song Yuyan, who was still resisting, and said in a deep voice, "Throw her out."

Immediately afterwards, two tall and strong bodyguards rushed in, grabbed Song Yuyan, and left.

As I listened to Song Yuyan's cursing gradually fading away, before I could even react, my feet left the ground as Gu Jinhuai picked me up and placed me on the sofa.

When his hand touched mine, he noticed my fingers were ice-cold, his brow furrowed deeply, but his voice was extremely gentle: "Were you frightened?"

My attention was completely focused on Gu Jinhuai's actions just now, and I didn't notice that Gu Jinhuai's gaze towards me was unusually gentle, and even revealed a hint of heartache.

Gu Jinhuai glanced at me quietly, then got up and poured me a glass of warm water.

I held the water glass, the warmth gradually reaching my fingertips, bringing me back to my senses. As soon as I looked up, I was met with the man's dark, deep pupils.

I forced a smile at him and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, Madam."

I listened to his words and felt something was off, but I didn't pay much attention to it. In order to graduate smoothly, I decided to just endure it for now.

After lunch, Gu Jinhuai took me to school. I looked at the four characters "Imperial University" with a slightly dazed expression.

The building is magnificent and imposing; even its entrance alone puts it far ahead of other schools. It is the dream of every student at No. 1 Middle School.

But in order to avoid Gu Jinhuai, I applied for a major in Lincheng. Sometimes I think it's really ridiculous. In the end, I came back to where I started. I sniffed and got out of the car.

"I'll pick you up tonight. Here are your enrollment documents."

Gu Jinhuai handed me the documents, and I looked puzzled, finally asking, "Aren't you going in?"

"Zhizhi wants me to come in with you?"

A mischievous glint flashed in Gu Jinhuai's eyes, but his deep voice was melodious and captivating, making it impossible not to fall for him.

"You lied to me?"

I was supposed to come to school this morning, but he said I needed an introduction to get in, and my voice unconsciously rose.

"I only said I needed an introduction, not that I was going to send you in. However, if Madam has such a request, I can do so appropriately."

I couldn't stand his way of addressing me anymore, so I spoke up and said, "Although I don't know how you got a fake marriage certificate, please stop calling me 'Madam' all the time. I have a name."

"Yes, Madam, what shall I call you? Zhibao?"

Seeing the mockery in his eyes, my face darkened. I really wanted to punch him, but there were people coming and going at the school gate, so I suppressed my temper and stared at him with a forced smile.

In an instant, Gu Jinhuai felt a chill run down his spine.

Immediately afterwards, my voice rang out: "Young Master Gu, thank you for the recommendation letter. Don't worry, I will make good use of these few months before graduation and focus on my studies. Please don't disturb me."

I deleted all his contact information right in front of him.

Seeing this, Gu Jinhuai's eyelids twitched, realizing that he had just gone too far, but his pride wouldn't allow him to back down. He said with a stern face, "Add it back."

"Gu Zi is back."

I looked behind him and called out. Gu Jinhuai subconsciously turned around, but there was nothing there. By the time he realized he had been tricked, I had already grabbed the letter and run into the school.
