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

Chapter 123

“So advanced?”

Madam Gu didn't understand my implied meaning; she was just a little surprised.

I didn't miss the fleeting look of excitement in her eyes.

Mr. Gu, standing to the side, had a gloomy face. Looking at his wife, who was still preoccupied with the topic they had just discussed, he felt frustrated and finally decided to vent his anger on me.

"What nonsense are you spouting, Gu Jinhuai? Throw her out of here! She's not allowed to set foot in the Gu family again without my permission."

"Thank you. I didn't want to come in the first place. If it weren't for your son, I wouldn't have bothered to even glance at him."

I stood up, patted off imaginary dust, and looked disgusted.

He turned around and strode out.

Gu Jinhuai's smile deepened as he watched me act so casually.

"You're still laughing? Let me tell you, even if your mother agrees, I won't allow the two of you to be together. If you want to enter the Gu family, wait until I'm dead."

"Oh, is she really my mom?"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Gu Jinhuai's eyes as he quietly watched the two people putting on an act in front of him. His lips curled into an infinitely sarcastic smile. These words shocked the two people present, and even the butler next to him felt a ripple in his heart.

"I will have my assistant bring the equity transfer agreement over this afternoon."

"You're dreaming if you think I'll sign."

At this moment, Madam Gu tore off her disguise, her eyes revealing hatred and ruthlessness.

"Is that so? Grandma's will clearly states that as long as I get married, I will have the final say on everything concerning the Gu family. You should think it over carefully."

"As for the transfer agreement, if you don't sign it, then we'll see you in court."

Gu Jinhuai looked at the two of them coldly, his face devoid of any affection. He had long since stopped wanting to stay in this family.

Sitting next to her, Madam Gu had already turned pale with fright at Gu Jinhuai's words.

"You...you bastard, if she's not your mother, then who is?"

Enraged, Mr. Gu grabbed a cup from the table and smashed it across Gu Jinhuai's face.

Gu Jinhuai watched indifferently, then gently turned his head to the side to avoid it.

The cup shattered on the ground with a loud crash, revealing just how angry the person who broke it was.

The moment the cup slipped from his hand, Mr. Gu regretted it; his eyes were filled with remorse, but even more so with fear.

"Good for you, this is your last chance."

Gu Jinhuai's dark eyes took on a colder edge, sending chills down one's spine.

The couple were terrified by the expression on his face and sat on the sofa, too afraid to move.

Gu Jinhuai's deep voice was like a demonic whisper, echoing in their ears and making them extremely frightened.

I wanted to take a taxi, but Guzhai is located halfway up the mountain, and there are hardly any people or cars around, but there are plenty of birds.

A short while later, Gu Jinhuai came out. When he saw me, he put away his hostility, pulled me into the car, and drove away.

For several days in a row, apart from being at school, Gu Jinhuai arranged all my meals meticulously.

Aside from attending classes, I was constantly watched by Gu Jinhuai, so I couldn't have the surgery for the time being.

I was so excited about the school's autumn outing that I thought I'd take the opportunity to visit a hospital. I was just about to sign up when the teacher said I'd be assigned to give a lecture to the freshmen.

I haven't forgotten my promise to Gu Jinhuai. I've put in a lot of effort these past few days to get excellent feedback from the teachers, but this is the result.

Seeing that I wasn't very interested, the teacher showered me with praise. I had no choice but to force a smile and agree.

"Xiao Zhou, the principal said that if you complete this lecture, he will personally present you with an award, and I will also give you a perfect score ahead of time."

The medical department is divided into two parts: theory and practice. Since I need to study both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, I have four teachers. The one in front of me is surnamed Wang. He has a gentle personality and is very kind to me.

If I can get her approval first, then I'll have already succeeded a quarter of the way.

"Thank you, Teacher Wang."

In my excitement, I hugged her tightly.

"Don't get so agitated, be careful."

Teacher Wang looked at me with a kind expression and encouraged me to keep going.

Teacher Wang watched my departing figure, let out a heavy sigh, and soon, a tall figure pushed open the door from inside.

"Mr. Gu, I have done everything you asked."

"Ah."

Gu Jinhuai's expression was indifferent, his gaze fixed on the figure gradually receding outside the door, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes softening with tenderness.

When Gu Jinhuai came to pick me up that evening, he saw me looking dejected and asked, "Why do you look so unhappy?"

Listening to Gu Jinhuai's words, I didn't see the knowing look in his eyes, and I didn't intend to tell him what was going on.

"fine."

After dinner, I wanted to take a walk by myself, but the man wouldn't allow it.

Just as I was about to argue, the man's deep voice rang out: "Recently, Fu Yiran opened a studio with her mentor, and I heard that she even took on a big deal involving a wealthy man's divorce."

I heard the threat in his words and pretended not to understand, asking, "What are you trying to say?"

"Threatening you? Can't you tell? It just so happens that I know that rich man. Although he cheated on her, the woman had no evidence. With the rich man's methods, the woman could only leave with nothing. But Fu Yiran took this job. No one in the entire capital dared to take it."

As Gu Jinhuai spoke, he moved closer to me, pinning me against the tree trunk. His warm breath fell on my cheek as he spoke, and a wave of heat washed over me. I couldn't help but shiver, and an unnatural blush crept onto my cheeks.

In the dim light, it wouldn't be noticeable at a normal social distance, but the man was wicked; he got very close and could see the blush on her cheeks clearly.

I listened to his blunt words, pursed my lips, lifted my eyelids to look at him, and asked indifferently, "What do you want me to do?"

“I’ve been busy at school lately and it’s been hard to find a place to stay. I heard you live in an apartment, so let’s stay together.”

As Gu Jinhuai spoke, he reached out and gently touched the tip of my ear. Instantly, my back stiffened, a wave of heat washed over me, and the tip of my ear turned red.

"You're dreaming, and don't even think about threatening me with others."

Fu Yiran is a man, and during his time at school, he was the president of the student council, helping the principal with various tasks. If he couldn't even handle this small matter, then he wouldn't be a man.

In this lifetime, I will not let Gu Jinhuai manipulate me for anyone's sake.

I pushed him away and walked forward.

Gu Jinhuai, standing behind him, raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

But soon, for some unknown reason, the corners of his mouth turned up, and a deep smile flashed across his eyes.

She quickly caught up with me, reached out and grabbed my hand, interlocking our fingers.

"So you don't have him in your heart after all."

As Gu Jinhuai said this, a subtle feeling arose in his heart.

I looked at him with an expression as if he were an idiot, trying to break free from his grasp. The man was very strong and wouldn't give me a chance to let go, holding my hand tightly and refusing to release it.

"You're crazy. I only care about myself."

I glared at him, only to find him grinning like an idiot.

I stared at him strangely, shaking my head to myself: He's gone mad!

Gu Jinhuai suddenly stopped, his eyes darkening as he stared at me: "You're not faking it, are you? Fu Yiran is going to get into trouble."

The man stood very close, as if afraid of missing the expression on my face—an expression he didn't want to see, yet also didn't want to miss.

"There's something wrong with you!"

I pushed him away and strode forward.

Gu Jinhuai is acting strange today; he probably didn't bring his brain with him when he went out.

He was clearly scolded, but he wasn't angry; in fact, he seemed happy. I didn't understand, and I didn't want to bother with him. I glanced at the time and strode towards school.

"It's late, I need to go back and rest. You're not allowed to follow me."

I pointed at the man behind me, my tone laced with warning.

God knows how anxious I've been these past few days with Gu Jinhuai, terrified that he'd discover something was wrong.

But looking at the man grinning foolishly today, I don't think he's that smart.

Looking at my angry expression, Gu Jinhuai found it adorable, and his smile deepened. His deep voice carried a hint of pleasure: "Alright, I'll watch you go in."

I glanced at the man standing at the door, then turned and walked back towards the school, but as I passed through the woods, I slipped inside.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, I heard the sound of an engine at the door and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. I then contacted the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department from last time.

I'm ready; all my physical exams came back normal.

Soon, I got a reply.

Okay, bring the documents over here.

"Zhou Nanzhi, what are you doing hiding here?"

Suddenly, a boy's voice came from behind me. I turned around abruptly and found that it was Liu Ke.
