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

Chapter 50

Song Yuan was about to pay when Gu Zi stopped her.

"What are you doing? Who needs your fake kindness? It's not like I can't afford it."

Gu Zi pushed away Song Yuan's hand that was about to scan the code, and the phone in Song Yuan's hand fell to the ground with a thud, the screen shattering instantly.

"Song Yuan, so what if you get engaged to my brother? He still won't like you. Just give up on that idea."

Gu Zi glared at her fiercely, which seemed like a petty person getting their way to victory to onlookers.

Song Yuan hurriedly bent down to pick up the phone, and her eyes reddened as she looked at the shattered screen.

"I……"

A look of panic flashed across Gu Zi's face. She hadn't expected that a gentle push would cause Song Yuan's phone to fall to the ground.

Seeing tears welling up in her eyes, I pulled Gu Zi, who was "aiding and abetting the wicked," behind me.

Just as he was about to speak, a clear, cold voice came from afar: "Apologize."

Gu Jinhuai's figure gradually became clearer, and his icy gaze pierced through.

I looked up and met Gu Jinhuai's cold eyes, and my heart ached again. I looked at him, finally suppressing my anger. Before Gu Zi could speak, I looked at Song Yuan and said in a cold voice, "Miss Song, I'm sorry, how much was your phone? I'll pay you back."

"Limited edition, how will you compensate us?"

Gu Jinhuai's voice was deep and magnetic, yet carried an immense sense of power.

"You don't need to worry about that. I'll sell everything I own to pay it back."

My expression remained indifferent, and my cold eyes looked back, meeting Gu Jinhuai's murderous gaze without the slightest change.

"Jinghuai, don't be angry, it's just a cell phone."

Song Yuan hurriedly stuffed her phone back into her pocket, grabbed Gu Jinhuai's arm, and gently shook it.

I just felt the light was too bright, so I turned around and strode away.

Gu Zi, who was standing to the side, snapped out of her daze and looked at Gu Jinhuai with disappointment. She said angrily, "I broke the phone when I was talking nonsense. Why should you make Zhizhi apologize? Can't I afford a cake? Do you need to pay for it?"

Gu Zi glared at Song Yuan and then chased after me.

As I listened to Gu Zi's angry voice, a helpless smile tugged at the corner of my mouth.

Looking up at the sky, perhaps this is the destructive power of the "white moonlight" (idealized love). No matter what you do, the first thing your brain does is to check if the "white moonlight" is okay. You don't care about right or wrong, you only care about the person you love.

To be unconditionally loved by someone, I really envy that.

I sniffed, welcoming the cold air from the world around me. But the chill in my heart was far more desolate than the cold outside.

I blinked my sore eyes and suddenly didn't want to get on the bus. But it was freezing cold and there were very few vehicles at the service area. I stood at the intersection for a long time but no bus came.

"Have a cup of milk tea to warm your stomach."

Suddenly, a cup of milk tea appeared in front of me, and Song Yuzhou's voice rang in my ears.

I glanced at him and our eyes met. Half a year had passed, and he had lost some of his childishness, his eyes were more profound, but his sharp tongue and the fake affection in his eyes had not changed at all.

"Take a sip, and maybe it will touch your heart."

As I listened to his words, I was thinking to myself, "In my past life, I've heard all the sweet words imaginable. These love words can't even make a ripple in my heart."

I instinctively took the milk tea from his hand, gently held it, and felt a warmth enter my palm.

"How much? I'll pay you back."

My voice softened a bit because I was holding the milk tea.

"Little Zhizhi, we haven't seen each other for half a year, not ten years. There's no need to be so distant with me."

Song Yuzhou nudged me lightly with his shoulder. I turned slightly to the side, glaring at him with my cool eyes: "What do you want?"

"Nothing much. Look, aren't they a good match? But not as good a match as us. They'll definitely be riding in Gu Jinhuai's car. If you don't mind, why don't you come with me?"

Song Yuzhou's gaze fell on the Audi parked next to him. I followed his gaze, but my peripheral vision fell on Gu Jinhuai, watching the group of people standing in front of the car.

"Princess, please get in the car."

Song Yuzhou raised an eyebrow and smiled at me, opened the car door and gestured for me to get in. Without a moment's hesitation, I got into Song Yuzhou's car.

"Let's go!"

Song Yuzhou walked around the front of the car and was about to get in when he was stopped.

I looked up at the window and saw that Gu Jinhuai had run over at some point, stopped Song Yuzhou, and looked at me: "Get out of the car."

I listened to his commanding tone and gave a light scoff: "On what grounds?"

"Did you hear that? The beautiful lady said you're not qualified. You're just supposed to keep an eye on my sister."

Song Yuzhou casually held onto the car door, his posture dismissive.

"Zhou Nanzhi, don't make me say it a second time."

I looked at Gu Jinhuai with annoyance, meeting his deep eyes. My gaze then swept over Song Yuan, who was rushing over behind me, and a cold smile curled at the corner of my lips: "You are a married man now. Be mindful of your distance from women."

After I finished speaking, I climbed into the driver's seat, started the car, and looked coldly at the two of them: "If you've had enough, hurry up and get back to your own cars."

Upon hearing the sound of the car starting, Song Yuzhou's eyes flickered slightly. He reacted quickly and jumped into the back seat. Gu Jinhuai was stunned for a second. Just before Song Yuzhou closed the car door, Gu Jinhuai went around the front of the car and jumped into the passenger seat at the fastest speed he had ever been.

The car started, and I slammed the door shut the moment Gu Jinhuai opened it, but I was too late.

Gu Jinhuai moved too quickly, jumping directly into the passenger seat.

The car moved slowly, and I drove attentively, ignoring the scorching and scrutinizing gazes from the side.

Song Yuzhou, sitting in the back seat, gripped the handle tightly, his voice trembling with anxiety: "Zhou Nanzhi, when did you learn to drive? I didn't know."

"In my past life."

I parted my lips slightly, slammed on the gas pedal, and the car gradually accelerated.

"What the hell? I don't want to die here!"

Song Yuzhou's face contorted as he glanced at Gu Jinhuai and asked, "Do you know when she got her driver's license?"

Gu Jinhuai's eyes showed a hint of confusion, indicating that he didn't know either.

I'm not lying. Although I married Gu Jinhuai in my past life, I was neglected by him so many times that I became disheartened and had to do everything myself.

I remember after I took my driver's license test, I was hit by a car for the first time. My hand was dislocated and there were bone fragments inside that needed to be removed with surgery. I was scared and wanted to tell Gu Jinhuai, but his assistant answered the phone again. It wasn't until I had surgery that night and saw his WeChat Moments that I found out he had spent the whole day with Song Yuan.

Thinking of those unpleasant things from my past life, I felt a surge of resentment. The car sped up, and soon, Gu Jinhuai's phone rang. The ringtone was very familiar; it was a special ringtone that Song Yuan had someone set for her.

My mind went blank, and I really wanted to end it all. I floored the accelerator, and the car went faster and faster.

"What the hell? Zhou Nanzhi, are you crazy? Driving this fast in this snow!"

Even the usually carefree Song Yuzhou was stunned by my actions. Gu Jinhuai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw the phone but did not answer it. Instead, he gripped the armrest and looked at me, saying, "Zhou Nanzhi, calm down."

"you shut up."

I scoffed. Just hearing his voice now fills me with deep disgust.

My words seemed to work; Gu Jinhuai immediately shut up. Song Yuzhou behind him laughed in exasperation: "Gu Jinhuai, you're really obedient. It's so dangerous now, and you shut up just because he tells you to."

"How about you come?"

Gu Jinhuai glanced at Song Yuzhou coolly, his tone nonchalant.

"Nanzhi, if you have any grievances, you can take them out on Gu Jinhuai. Don't drag me into this; I'm innocent."

Song Yuzhou gripped the back of the driver's seat tightly, looked at me, and his voice unconsciously softened.

I took a deep breath, pulled the car over to the side of the road, opened my window, and let the cold wind rush in to calm my anger.

"Relieved?"

Gu Jinhuai's voice came softly from the side.
