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

Chapter

I was stunned, feeling that the girl in front of me was somewhat familiar, as if I had seen her somewhere before.

She stared at me with anger in her eyes, and I immediately retorted. She immediately lowered her head and pretended to be obedient.

I narrowed my eyes, a hint of coldness flashing across them. No wonder she seemed familiar. Song Yuan's younger sister, Song Yuyan, was even more favored than Song Yuan in the Song family.

Song Yuan was raised as a socialite of the Song family, while Song Yuyan was pampered from a young age and did things according to her mood, becoming the contrast to Song Yuan.

The air was completely silent. I didn't make a sound. In my past life, Song Yuyan had belittled and suppressed me a lot for Song Yuan's sake. Despite her baby face, she did many vicious things.

Song Yuyan, with her head down, had a look of resentment in her eyes. Gu Jinhuai remained silent, and soon he sat down next to me.

I looked up in surprise and met his deep eyes. My heart skipped a beat, and I tried to keep my distance from him.

Seeing that the three of them were sitting while she was left standing there, Song Yuyan looked embarrassed. In the end, she pitifully walked to Gu Jinhuai's side, grabbed his clothes, and said softly, "Brother Jinhuai, I have already apologized, please forgive me."

As Song Yuyan spoke, she glanced at me, her eyes filled with disdain and contempt.

I glanced at it out of the corner of my eye, then looked away without saying a word.

Gu Jinhuai avoided Song Yuyan's touch, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Are you still angry?"

Like a thunderclap out of nowhere, in an instant, everyone's eyes were on me, and I was at a loss for what to do.

"Keep apologizing until she calms down."

Gu Jinhuai coldly swept his gaze over Song Yuyan, his voice completely flat.

“Brother Jinghuai, I…”

Song Yuyan hadn't expected Gu Jinhuai to embarrass her in front of outsiders, and her face turned pale and then red.

I looked at Gu Jinhuai in surprise, only to find that he had peeled a lot of shrimp on his plate at some point.

Noticing my gaze, Gu Jinhuai paused in peeling the shrimp, his narrow eyes sweeping lightly across my face as he asked, "Want some?"

I was taken aback, and before I could refuse, he had already pushed the plate in front of me.

Looking at the shrimp in front of me, and noticing Song Yuyan's murderous gaze, I picked up a shrimp and put it in my mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

Gu Jinhuai stared at me intently, his gaze unwavering.

I choked while eating the shrimp and pushed it in front of Fu Yiran: "Senior, please have some shrimp."

Seeing Fu Yiran hesitate, I continued, "President Gu peeled them himself. Please give him face. Not everyone has the chance to eat shrimp peeled by President Gu."

With a hint of sarcasm, I noticed the man's gloomy expression and Song Yuyan's righteous indignation, but I simply ignored them.

"Thank you."

Fu Yiran thanked me with gentle eyes, and then looked at Gu Jinhuai beside me, saying earnestly, "Mr. Gu, thank you."

Fu Yiran was about to eat shrimp when Gu Jinhuai stood up, took the plate, and slammed it in front of me, saying coldly, "Eat."

“Brother Jinhuai, have you thought about my sister when you did this? She will be jealous if she knows you are so nice to other girls.”

Song Yuyan glared at me fiercely, and when she looked at Gu Jinhuai, her tone was urgent.

"Apologize or get out!"

Gu Jinhuai frowned as he listened to the chattering around him, his tone full of impatience.

Song Yuyan met Gu Jinhuai's gaze and felt a chill run down her spine. She shrank her neck and looked aggrieved: "Why should I apologize? How can a vixen like her compare to my sister? My sister is abroad, striving to become better and worthy of you, but what about you? You're just fickle here."

Song Yuyan's eyes were red and swollen as she accused Gu Jinhuai of wrongdoing. In the end, she couldn't look the man in the eye and could only vent all her resentment on me, a stranger, pointing her finger at my nose and cursing.

"And you, do you even know he already has a fiancée? He's coming back tomorrow to prepare for the engagement. Have you no shame!"

"You lowly thing, what good is your beautiful face? Gu Jinhuai is my sister's, don't even think about taking him!"

Hearing her increasingly outrageous words, I instantly turned cold, walked directly towards her, and without hesitation, in front of Gu Jinhuai, slapped her across the face.

Snapped……

The crisp sound of a slap landed, and her cursing stopped. My slap wasn't light, and soon, a five-finger mark appeared on her face.

"Who are you calling despicable? Say it again!"

My tone was cold, and my dark eyes stared straight at her.

"If you dare hit me, I'll fight you to the death!"

Song Yuyan covered her face in disbelief. After a few seconds, she ignored everyone and rushed towards me. She deliberately stretched out her manicured nails and tried to scratch my face.

Before I could dodge, Gu Jinhuai stood up and blocked my way.

I stared at the tall figure in front of me, a faint scent of mint lingering around my nose. It smelled wonderful and inexplicably made me feel at ease.

"Try to move her."

The man had a deep, resonant voice, but his words were full of threats and warnings.

"Brother Jinhuai, she hit me, why aren't you on my side!"

"You're still protecting her now. My sister must be devastated if she knew. Don't forget that my sister is the one who..."

Song Yuyan pointed at my nose with disgust in her eyes, and the next second, with a slap, Gu Jinhuai directly knocked her hand away from my face.

"Have you said enough? Your Song family knows what methods your sister used. Get out of here and don't hang around in front of me."

"How could you say that to me? I'm Song Yuan's sister."

Song Yuyan still hasn't realized her situation. She's looking at Gu Jinhuai with red eyes, looking pitiful and as if she's been bullied.

"Does your sister know you came to Lincheng to see me?"

Gu Jinhuai's gaze was icy, and the next moment he saw Song Yuyan's face turn pale, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.

I watched silently from the sidelines, remaining a quiet observer.

"I……"

Finally, Song Yuyan was too ashamed to stay any longer and left in a sorry state.

The meal ended unhappily. I glanced at the cold food and was just about to pick it up to eat when Fu Yiran and Gu Jinhuai stopped me at the same time.

"Wait a moment."

The two spoke in unison, and finally looked at each other, the air thick with tension.

Fu Yiran pushed up his glasses and looked at me gently: "It's already cold. I'll go ask the waiter to heat it up."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Jinhuai coldly interrupted him, reaching out to pull me to his side and asserting his ownership by putting his arm around my shoulder.

She glanced casually at the food on the table, then looked coldly at Fu Yiran: "She doesn't like any of these dishes, so don't bother. Also, Zhizhi is her nickname, and only the closest people can call her that. Please watch your words in the future."

Gu Jinhuai left me with a string of words.

During this time, I tried to break free from his control, and he immediately said, "Don't forget who you are. Your father has already sold you to me."

Listening to his words, I felt a chill run through me. I really wanted to throw that money right in his face, but if Gu Jinhuai wanted to mess with him, he had plenty of ways to do it.

"Don't go too far, let me go!"

I glared at him through gritted teeth, trying to get away from his embrace, but in the end, he pulled me into his arms.

"obedient!"

Finally, Gu Jinhuai shoved me into the passenger seat and slammed the car door shut.

"Gu Jinhuai, is this really funny? Is it fun to have your cake and eat it too?"

I stared straight at him, waiting for his answer.

Who's two-timing?

Gu Jinhuai frowned, his tone filled with anger.

"What do you think? You're engaged to someone else while getting close to me. I said I wouldn't bother you, and I really won't. How could you... um..."

I stared wide-eyed at the man so close to me, my hands clenched tightly, at a loss for what to do.
