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

Chapter 32

"You dare to insult me? You've been brainwashed by Zhou Nanzhi. It's foolish to be friends with someone like that!"

Qiao Weiwei felt wronged after being scolded by Su Qi and made a move to argue back, but she was defeated by the talkative Su Qi in the end.

"It's my freedom to be friends with whomever I want, it's none of your business. Mind your own business. You dare to slander Zhizhi? I'll tear your mouth apart."

Besides being a chatterbox, Su Qi was also incredibly capable in combat. With one hand on her hip and the other pointing at Qiao Weiwei, she said disdainfully, "Try uttering another slanderous word."

The latter was startled, nervously backed away, moved her mouth slightly, and finally burst into tears, slamming the door and leaving.

Before leaving, he glared at me fiercely, then looked at Su Qi and cursed, "You'll regret this."

With a bang, the door was slammed shut.

"Who is this person who spoils her so much?"

Su Qi muttered to herself.

She turned to look at me and comforted me, saying, "She's just talking nonsense, don't take it to heart. How could you possibly be a mistress?"

Looking at Su Qi, who was very supportive of me, I decided to explain to her what had happened in high school.

With Qiao Weiwei acting like a loudmouth, who knows how she'll slander me later on.

Besides Gu Zi, I don't have any other good friends. Now that I finally have someone I can talk to, I don't want to make Su Qi sad.

Finally, I decided to roughly recount how I confessed my feelings in high school. I had thought about it a lot, and even considered the worst-case scenario: Su Qi might look at me with disgust, just like Qiao Weiwei.

But in the end, instead of crying, Su Qi burst into tears with red eyes. She hugged me tightly and said in a choked voice, "Zhizhi, I feel so sorry for you."

“But my mom said, good things come to those who wait. Gu Jinhuai is a real jerk. He treated you like that. If he doesn’t like you, it’s because he has no taste. A pretty girl like you would have a line of guys liking you.”

"And that Song Yuan you mentioned, just hearing her name makes me think she's a white lotus flower, a green tea bitch. If I ever met someone like that, I would definitely tear her apart."

Su Qi spoke indignantly. I didn't expect her to be so angry. I hadn't even told her about the mountain climbing yet. If I did, she would be furious. I could only laugh helplessly.

"You wait, I'll introduce you to someone tomorrow. I think Fu Yiran is pretty good, I'll try to get him later."

As I listened to her increasingly nonsensical ramblings, I interrupted her directly: "It's great that Senior Fu is gentle and generous, but right now I just want to focus on my studies and find a good job after graduation. As for relationships, I'll leave it to fate."

I have no expectations for relationships at all, and Su Qi noticed that. She pointed her index finger at me with a look of exasperation and said, "Are you stupid? You should be screening for high-quality men in college, otherwise you'll be picked over long ago after you enter the workforce. You have such good advantages, but you don't know how to take advantage of them. Besides, who has time to date after you start working? It's all about exchanging benefits."

As I listened to her long-winded explanation, I looked at Su Qi with a surprised expression.

I never expected that beneath her carefree exterior, she would be so thoughtful.

The principles she spoke of were completely unlike those of a college student who had just entered the halls of university.

Even in my past life, I experienced these things before I understood them.

"Not bad! You know quite a lot."

When I praised her, Su Qi raised her chin and replied with a smug look, "Of course, I'm very shrewd, you just don't know it."

"If I praise you, you'll be so proud of yourself."

Even with my lips pursed, I couldn't hide the smile on my face.

“I’m telling the truth, but these are all principles my family taught me. I was impatient with them before, but now I find them very useful. You should pay more attention to them.”

We drank bone broth together and then prepared to rest. While I was resting, a phone call came in.

As soon as the call connected, I heard Gu Jinhuai's deep voice, and I was jolted awake, my drowsiness instantly vanishing.

I glanced at Su Qi, who was lying on the bed playing games, then took the phone and went straight to the bathroom.

I remained silent, and the other person waited in silence as well. A few seconds later, Gu Jinhuai's voice came through the receiver. His voice was as deep and melodious as a cello, directly reaching my nerves through my ears.

"Please ask for leave tomorrow, I need to talk to you about something."

Hearing Gu Jinhuai's serious voice, I instinctively wanted to refuse, but I still hesitated and asked, "Is there something that can't be said on the phone?"

I paused for a moment, then continued, "And how did you get my phone number?"

I tried so hard to get his phone number before, but now I can easily get a call from him.

When I love you, I feel like I'm walking on thin ice; when I don't love you, I feel like a hot wind, always appearing before my eyes, easily stirring my heart each time.

Gu Jinhuai remained silent for a moment, and just when I thought he wouldn't answer, his deep voice reached my ears.

"Don't you want an explanation for those thugs from the vocational school last time?"

As I listened to his words, a hint of surprise flashed across my eyes.

When will he stand up for me? He only ever charges ahead because of Song Yuan.

I snapped out of my reverie and coldly refused, "No need. My affairs are none of your concern."

Just as I was about to hang up, Gu Jinhuai spoke slowly and methodically.

“Zhou Nanzhi, don’t make me say it a second time, you still want your parents to come and see you.”

Gu Jinhuai's words stung me.

"You're threatening me."

My tone was displeased.

Having finally escaped my parents' control, all I want to do is stay away. If they come, things will be out of my control.

Finally, under his coercion and enticement, I agreed to take the day off to see him.

Send me the time and location tomorrow.

As soon as I said that, Gu Jinhuai chimed in, "The phone number is V."

I moved my lips, but before I could explain, the call ended. I glanced at the string of numbers; it felt both familiar and strange.

Even though I had his number saved in my past life, I never called him more than a few times. Every time I called, his assistant would answer.

We've been married for five years, but we've only seen each other a handful of times, let alone talked on the phone. Eventually, I got too lazy to call him anymore, since his assistant always answered anyway.

I was feeling irritable, as if I had fallen into his trap again, but in order to prevent my parents from coming, I still agreed to add his contact information.

The next morning, I took the day off and just as I stepped out of the school gate, I saw a black sedan parked across the street.

I glanced at the familiar license plate number, and a ripple of emotion stirred within me. Just as I hesitated, the car window rolled down, revealing the man's sharply defined profile.

The warm sunlight shone down, falling on his profile and adding a touch of gentleness.

I stood there for a few seconds, then walked over.

Looking into his eyes through the rolled-down car window, she said, "Didn't I send you my location? You don't have to come over."

Gu Jinhuai glanced at me sideways, looking at me speechlessly, and stated the fact in a serious tone: "You have no sense of direction."

I listened to his words with a dissatisfied look on my face and retorted directly: "Brother, you should go online more. Besides, navigation is very convenient now. If I'm really in a bad situation, I can just take a taxi."

To my surprise, my explanation only made him impatient: "Get in the car."
