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

Chapter 112

Just as I was lost in thought, I received a call from Kang Zheng.

I didn't want to accept the offer, but when I heard that they had returned to China and that Zhao Fang had been taken back by Zhou Yong, a chill ran down my spine.

I don't know why Zhao Fang came back. I've already helped her once, and now that Zhou Yong has found out, I can't help her a second time.

I know Zhou Yong's methods. He's not stupid. How could Zhao Fang, a woman, suddenly have the idea of ​​running away? What if she can't keep her mouth shut and betrays me?

Just thinking about it once sent a chill down my spine, and my whole body felt colder.

"What are you thinking about?"

I didn't know when Gu Jinhuai came back. He waved his hand in front of me, and I blinked to get back to my senses. Looking at his handsome face so close to mine, I quickly formed an idea.

"fine."

I forced a smile at him, but Gu Jinhuai glanced at me indifferently and didn't say anything more with his tightly pursed lips.

We ate our meal quietly, and I was just about to rest when Gu Jinhuai suddenly spoke up: "You can tell me if you have something to say."

I stared at him in surprise, then, as if I had just remembered something, I nodded slightly and responded.

I slept well through the night, and by the next day I was almost fully recovered. I didn't see Gu Jinhuai in the morning, and just as I was about to be discharged, the door to my ward was pushed open.

When I saw Zhou Yong storm in, I froze, my eyes filled with fear as I stared intently at the approaching man.

"Zhou Nanzhi, you are truly my good daughter."

Zhou Yong's words were laced with gritted teeth. Even I, in my daze, could tell he was very angry, confirming my suspicions from yesterday.

Zhao Fang chose to betray him, perhaps out of fear of Zhou Yong's beatings. Over the years, she had been worn down and had lost the will to resist.

I instinctively backed away, trying to leave from the other side of the bed, but Zhou Yong seemed to have discovered my intention. He grabbed a water glass from the coffee table, grabbed my arm with one hand, and before I could resist, there was a loud bang.

I felt a wave of dizziness, accompanied by Zhou Yong's cursing.

"Zhou Nanzhi, you bitch, just like your mother, why can't you learn your lesson? Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite."

I felt a ringing in my ears and was pushed to the ground. I knew that what followed was a beating. I just hoped that Gu Jinhuai would appear soon, so that Zhou Yong could finally be done for.

A cold smile curled at the corner of my lips, my unfocused and hazy eyes filled with chill as I stared at Zhou Yong, who was about to attack me.

But to make him even more ruthless, I deliberately provoked him.

"Zhou Yong, do you know why you don't have a son?"

I know that what he cares about most is having a son, but unfortunately Zhao Fang's womb is not cooperating. Even the women he keeps outside have never given birth to a son. As for those daughters, he killed them after they were born.

"What do you want to say?"

I saw the anger rising in Zhou Yong's eyes, and I chuckled lightly: "You've done so many beastly things, and you still want a son? You'll never have one in this life, and you'll only be a beast in your next life too."

“Zhou Yong, you deserve to die. Even if you strangle me today, I will haunt you every day as a ghost. You have accomplished nothing in your life, and you can forget about having a son.”

I deliberately guided him, and soon his rough hands gripped my neck, applying slight force.

"You bitch, you're asking for it! You're a jinx! Once you're dead, I'll have a son! Hahaha..."

I looked at the man who had lost his mind, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips. Instantly, a feeling of suffocation came over me, and my already pale face turned even paler, as if I was about to enter hell in the next second.

My consciousness gradually faded, my eyelashes trembled slightly, and blood began to seep from my forehead, flowing down my forehead. My vision was obscured by a sticky substance, and I instinctively grabbed his hands and squeezed them desperately.

The feeling of suffocation grew stronger and stronger. Just when I thought I was going to die, I saw the figure at the door, and my uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

"Zhizhi."

The man strode forward and kicked Zhou Yong to the ground, his voice trembling as he spoke.

Before I lost consciousness, I saw Gu Jinhuai's cold and hard face gradually soften, and there seemed to be a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"Don't be afraid."

I heard his soft voice, and then I was plunged into darkness, but I remained fully conscious and could hear everything happening around me.

"you wanna die."

Gu Jinhuai stared fiercely at Zhou Yong, who had stood up, while Weiss, who was standing to the side, snapped out of his daze.

"Calm down, put her on the bed first and do an examination."

Gu Jinhuai looked at me with pity, gently placed me on the bed, and then a chaotic scene ensued.

Then, I smelled a faint fragrance emanating from Gu Jinhuai, cool and aloof, and I finally felt at ease and fell asleep completely.

In the blur, I seemed to hear Zhou Yong cursing.

“She’s my daughter. I can beat her however I want. This ungrateful wretch is lucky to be beaten to death.”

The nurses and doctors around couldn't stand it anymore and frowned, but there was nothing they could do about such a scoundrel.

"You know she's your daughter. Over the years, hasn't she been beaten enough?"

After a long silence, Gu Jinhuai stared at him with a cold gaze, his words spoken in a clear and cold tone, yet revealing a murderous intent.

Zhou Yong shrank back a few times, but my words were still vivid in his ears, and he stared fiercely at Gu Jinhuai.

“You’re talking nonsense. I hit her because she was disobedient. Which parent hasn’t hit their child? I was just teaching her a lesson. She’s not going to get treatment anymore. I’m taking her home now.”

Zhou Yong displayed his rudeness and arrogance to the fullest, but Gu Jinhuai was not fooled and kicked him away.

“I will have my lawyer talk to you about this matter today.”

After Gu Jinhuai finished speaking, two bodyguards automatically stepped forward, each grabbing one of his arms, and dragged him out.

Seeing this, Zhou Yong panicked and struggled desperately: "What are you doing? I am her father. If you treat me like this, you can forget about being with her when she wakes up."

“Someone like you doesn’t deserve to be a father. Don’t forget the contract you signed. She belongs to me now.”

Gu Jinhuai waved his hand impatiently, and Zhou Yong was dragged away by the bodyguards. Zhou Yong's screams faded into the distance.

Everything was quiet around me, and I fell into a deep sleep again.

When I woke up, it was three days later.

I had just woken up to the sound of suppressed sobbing. When she saw me open my eyes, Zhao Fang immediately stopped crying and looked at me with teary eyes.

Looking at her red and swollen eyes, I knew she had cried a lot.

"Nanzhi, I'm sorry."

Zhao Fang stared at me for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out these few words.

But I remained indifferent, staring straight ahead, and neither responded to her apology nor said a word.

“Nanzhi, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said everything, but I was really scared. He’s a madman. I was so scared. I thought you had Gu Jinhuai protecting you. He’s so capable, he could definitely protect you. I never expected this…”

Zhao Fang spoke incoherently and tried to touch me, but because I didn't speak, she didn't dare to touch me. In the end, she hesitated in the air for a few moments before pulling her hand back.

"Nanzhi, I really know I was wrong."

Listening to her words, I looked away. Zhao Fang had indeed been beaten badly. There was hardly a patch of unblemished flesh on her face. Her nose and face were bruised and swollen, and even her eyes were bruised. There were also holes on her face from burns caused by cigarette ash. She looked terrible.

The exposed arm also had bloody wounds. Although it had been treated, the arm was still covered in blood and looked terrible.

Why did you come back?

My voice was hoarse because I had just woken up and hadn't had any water; my tone was light and airy, giving the impression of indifference.

"I……"

Zhao Fang's eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to meet my gaze.

I watched her stammer incoherently, remaining silent for a long while, but her gaze gradually sharpened.

At that moment, I truly understood the saying, "People die for wealth, birds die for food."

“Nanzhi, you know how expensive it is abroad. I don’t have any money. I’ve looked for many jobs, but because of the language barrier, I…”

“Nanzhi, you’re married to Gu Jinhuai now. I heard he’s the future heir of the Gu family, the most famous family in the capital. Please help your mother.”

“Although I am not your biological mother, if it weren’t for me all these years, how could you have grown up? Your father would have sold you to someone else long ago.”

As she finished speaking, Zhao Fang's voice gradually lowered, losing its confidence.

As I listened to her words, my heart grew colder and colder.

"So, you think I've hooked up with a rich guy, that's why you're risking your life to come back for money, even if Zhou Yong beats you to death."

My tone remained light and airy, making it impossible to discern my emotions.
