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

Chapter 229

Uncle Lei invited Su Qi into the car and handed the younger brother in his arms to a middle-aged woman in the back seat. Su Qi glanced at him and then got in as well.

She wanted to watch over this woman and wait for Zhizhi to wake up.

Gu Jinhuai looked at me with my eyes closed, his brows furrowed the whole way, and held me tightly until we arrived at Mingzhu Garden. The car drove straight in and into the upscale residential area, stopping steadily in front of a building.

After the car came to a stop, the man carried the person in his arms inside. Uncle Lei respectfully opened the door. The room was magnificent, with thick red plush carpets covering the floor everywhere.

Just as Su Qi was about to get out of the car, Uncle Lei stopped her.

"What, you're not going to let me in now that we're here?"

Although Su Qi was afraid of Gu Jinhuai, she could muster up her courage for Zhizhi's sake.

"Miss Su, you misunderstand. You are a distinguished guest of the Madam, and we dare not neglect you. It's just that it's cold outside, so we're covering the young master with a blanket."

As he spoke, Uncle Lei handed a soft blanket to Su Qi.

Su Qi glanced at him, then calmly covered Mo Mo tightly with the blanket, as if afraid he would get cold.

But her heart was in turmoil. She didn't know what Gu Jinhuai was thinking, but with her there, he wouldn't be able to hurt Zhizhi.

As soon as Gu Jinhuai entered the elevator, Su Qi was about to quickly follow with the child in her arms, but was stopped by Uncle Lei beside her.

“Miss Su, let’s not disturb Madam and Young Master any longer. Please come this way.”

Although Uncle Lei spoke respectfully, his words carried a commanding tone, leaving Su Qi no room for refusal.

Su Qi looked at the tightly closed elevator doors, and finally, unwilling to give up, she could only follow Uncle Lei to the elevator next to her.

Soon, the elevator reached the ninth floor. The elevator doors slowly opened, and a person whose gender was indistinguishable walked in. They were wearing a black suit and had a neat short haircut.

Since she came in, Su Qi's gaze had been fixed on her, scrutinizing her. She was Xie Zhao, a fact she hadn't yet told Zhizhi.

This woman also knows Gu Jinhuai. This is the elevator going upstairs. Why did she come in? What does she want?

Su Qi's heart jumped instantly, and she had already imagined a dramatic scene.

Similarly, Xie Zhao's gaze also fell on Su Qi, but her gaze was more focused on examining the child in Su Qi's arms. Her gaze was scrutinizing, which Su Qi disliked, and she subconsciously moved to the side with the child in her arms.

Upon noticing this, Uncle Lei smiled and said, "Miss Xie."

"Uncle Lei, I heard Jin Huai is back, and he brought back a son and a daughter. Is this him?"

Xie Zhao's gaze, which held a forced smile, fell on the child in Su Qi's arms; his dark eyes revealed no emotion.

"What do you want to do?"

Su Qi held the child tightly in her arms, looking at Xie Zhao and Uncle Lei with a wary expression, and deliberately moved her feet away from them.

"Nothing, I'm just a little curious and want to see what their child would be like?"

Xie Zhao spoke so casually, not at all like someone who liked Gu Jinhuai. If she knew the man she liked had a child with another woman, she wouldn't have this expression.

Su Qi was puzzled, but then the elevator dinged and slowly opened, stopping at the eleventh floor.

Xie Zhao went out first, and just as he reached the door, he heard a loud bang from inside. Su Qi and Uncle Lei behind him also heard it.

"What are you standing there for? Open the door!"

Su Qi spoke quickly, as if afraid that Zhizhi would be bullied inside.

Uncle Lei looked troubled, and his face showed more worry: "I don't have the key."

Then, seeing the worried look on Su Qi's face, he slowly said, "Don't worry, young master won't hurt madam."

Upon hearing this, Su Qi reacted as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, and scoffed, "That's not necessarily true."

"Your young master has hurt you more than once."

Faced with Su Qi's cold mockery, Uncle Lei was speechless for a moment. Xie Zhao, who was standing to the side, did not tolerate her and said in a deep voice, "It is not appropriate for outsiders to interfere in the matters between the two of them. If you are really worried, you should hurry up and think of a way to get in."

"If I had a solution, would I need you?"

Su Qi retorted without backing down.

"you……"

Xie Zhao's expression changed, and in the end, he couldn't be bothered to argue with her.

"Uncle Lei, why don't we go to my house first? The child can't stay here freezing."

Seeing that Su Qi was not moving, Xie Zhao said in a deep voice, "This is between them. No one can interfere. You may be fine if you get cold, but what if the child gets sick?"

After listening to Xie Zhao's words, Su Qi hesitated for a few seconds, but still followed him.

Inside the room, I looked at the environment around me that was exactly the same as in my previous life, even the decorations were the same. I felt oppressed, and a feeling of helplessness and fear gradually spread in my heart.

I wanted to leave, but the man didn't give me a chance. He pulled me onto the bed, and looking at his tender and affectionate expression, I felt disgusted. In a fit of anger, I grabbed a nearby wine bottle and smashed it against him.

Unexpectedly, the man not only did not dodge, but also went straight for it. With a bang, his forehead instantly turned blood red, and bright red blood slowly flowed from his temple.

I only froze for a second before resuming my cold expression.

"Gu Jinhuai, let me go."

My voice was cold, devoid of any gentleness, and my gaze towards him was icy and unfamiliar.

"impossible."

Gu Jinhuai seemed oblivious to the pain, uttering only three words before turning to leave.

"Gu Jinhuai, do you really have to do this?"

As I looked around at everything familiar, memories kept flooding back: his bruises, his indifference, his insults, etched into my very bones.

"Zhou Nanzhi, you've already given birth. Where else do you think you're going? They're my children. How can you bear to abandon them and leave?"

Seeing that I didn't speak, Gu Jinhuai's eyes flashed with a hint of pity, but what he thought in his heart was different from what he said. His tone was as cold as a knife: "You can leave, but leave the child behind."

Gu Jinhuai's meaning was very clear: I can't take the child with me.

It wasn't until the door slammed shut that I snapped out of my daze, my hands clenching my fingers tightly, and I screamed as if venting my anger.

Finally, he collapsed to the ground, his eyes bloodshot, and helpless tears streaming down his face.

Why? I've been reborn, so why can't things change? I'm already so far away from him, so why can't I escape? What is the reason?

I can not be reconciled.

My chest heaved violently, and then I felt dizzy for a long time before sitting on the ground to recover.

Gu Jinhuai didn't linger outside the door. He made a phone call to Uncle Lei, gave him a few instructions, and then left.

"Where's Zhizhi?"

Su Qi rushed in carrying the child, ignoring his gloomy face, and questioned him.

"It must be inside."

Seeing that Gu Jinhuai's expression was not good, Xie Zhao spoke first.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Su Qi walked towards the bedroom, but Gu Jinhuai stopped her and picked up the child from her arms.

Su Qi's pupils contracted, and a hint of tension flashed in her eyes: "What do you want to do?"

"My child, what can I, as a father, do?"

Seeing Su Qi's wary expression, Gu Jinhuai felt displeased, and his tone turned cold.
