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

Chapter 74

I glanced at the person in the car; it was Song Yuan. I didn't know what she was thinking, but soon, my phone vibrated in my pocket.

I glanced at it, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw the car across the street. The window slowly rolled down, revealing Song Yuan's delicate face. She waved her phone at me.

I looked at the unfamiliar number and answered it directly.

Immediately afterwards, Song Yuan's cold voice came from the other end of the phone.

"If you don't want anything to happen to your friend, just come over here. I need to talk to you."

I heard the threat in Song Yuan's tone, hesitated for a few seconds, then comforted Su Qi before following the bodyguard over.

I was pushed into the car by the bodyguard, with Su Qi calling out behind me. Just as I was about to turn around, the bodyguard ruthlessly closed the car door, and the car sped away.

I remained calm, my hands clasped together, my expression composed, yet my palms were sweating.

"Zhou Nanzhi, do you know what I hate most about you?"

After a long pause, Song Yuan lost her composure, her gaze turning sinister and filled with resentment as she stared at me and asked.

"I'm not a mind reader, how would I know?"

I gave a cold laugh and stared at her silently, without a trace of fear on my face.

"you……"

Song Yuan looked at me with a hint of resentment and venom. She shouted angrily, but then put on a smiling face and spoke in a sinister tone, like a venomous tongue.

"Zhou Nanzhi, aren't you just relying on your face? Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"What are you gambling?"

I stared straight at Song Yuan, my tone calm.

"Let's bet on whether Gu Jinhuai will ultimately choose you or me."

Song Yuan looked smug as she said this.

"That's it? I'm not interested."

I looked at her, my brow furrowed slightly, and my voice carried displeasure.

"What, are you afraid, or do you not want to face reality?"

When Song Yuan saw that I refused, her smile widened even more.

“I’m not interested in your affairs, Song Yuan. You like him, so be brave and find a way to get him instead of focusing on an insignificant person. We’re not from the same world.”

When I finished speaking, my tone was soft, revealing no emotion.

Looking at my composed expression, Song Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Playing hard to get, using all sorts of tricks to get Gu Jinhuai's attention, Zhou Nanzhi, you're shameless."

As I listened to Song Yuan's attack, my eyes turned cold. I looked at her indifferently and said softly, "If you're so afraid that I'll take him away, how uncertain are you? Do you still need to gamble?"

"Shut up. I just want you to see your own identity clearly, to see the distance between you and him, and to see just how worthless you really are."

I stopped arguing and looked out the window at the increasingly unfamiliar place. I felt uneasy, wondering what Song Yuan was up to.

Soon, when I saw the flashing colored lights at the door, my pupils dilated, and I instinctively wanted to resist, but the bodyguard pulled me out of the car. I lost my footing, the bodyguard let go, my knees buckled, and with a thud, I knelt down.

Song Yuan looked down at me with a smug smile on her face and said with a smile, "Zhou Nanzhi, although I know you are not worldly, you don't need to be so polite to me. I am your peer and I can't accept it."

I stood up nonchalantly, brushed the dirt off my knees, and shot her a cold gaze that pierced straight into her heart. I said casually, "What are you so smug about? Besides having a good family background, you don't have any other outstanding qualities. Oh, wait, you can dance."

Faced with my sarcastic remarks, Song Yuan's expression fell for a moment, but she didn't intend to waste words with me and directly led me inside.

“Your clothes are filthy. I’m taking pity on you and will have them take you to change.”

Song Yuan seemed to be deliberately trying to disgust me. She looked at the two male bodyguards beside me, and I felt a chill run down my spine. I instinctively stepped back, my gaze cold, and gritted my teeth as I said, "You dare."

“Our Song family is second only to the Gu family. What is there for me, Song Yuan, not to dare to do?”

Song Yuan seemed to have suddenly come up with a bad idea and immediately signaled to the bodyguard next to her.

As I watched the two bodyguards gradually approach me, I instinctively stepped back, my expression wary.

"Song Yuan, you've gone mad!"

I roared and was about to turn and run away when the bodyguard grabbed my arm and pulled me backward. Just as I was about to fight back, a voice rang out from not far away.

"Song Yuan, it's not good to go too far. This isn't the capital."

The next moment, the grip on my arm loosened, and when I looked up, I saw Song Yuzhou. It had been a long time since I'd seen him, and he seemed to have matured even more.

Immediately afterwards, Song Yuzhou stood in front of me.

"Song Yuzhou, what are you trying to do? Do you also like her and want to protect her? What's so great about her that she's got you all so infatuated?"

Song Yuan broke down emotionally, pointing at me with red eyes and screaming hysterically.

People passing by stopped and looked down instinctively.

Song Yuzhou frowned, a playful smile playing on his lips, and gently patted her shoulder: "Song Yuan, enough is enough. It's better for both you and the Song family."

"Why? I've been like a puppet since I was a child. I do whatever you tell me to do. I finally have someone I like, and why are you all siding with her? She's not as good as me. If you like her so much, why don't you just make her your sister? You're just a servant's son. If my brother hadn't died, how would it have been your turn!"

"Song Yuan, there are some things you shouldn't be discussing."

Song Yuzhou's expression immediately changed, and he looked at Song Yuan with a hint of warning.

I also noticed a change in his aura. Now that I know about this secret of a wealthy family, I wonder if I'll be killed to silence him.

Just as I was about to move and leave, Song Yu seemed to sense my thoughts, reached out and grabbed my wrist, not allowing me to leave.

I was horrified and tried to break free: "Let go of me!"

"Take the young lady home."

Song Yuzhou gave a deep order, and the two bodyguards behind him remained standing without moving.

A moment of silence fell over the air. Song Yuzhou's smile deepened, his sinister gaze landing on the two bodyguards, his expression cold: "What? You think I can't touch you?"

In an instant, Song Yuzhou exuded a powerful aura, and the two bodyguards' expressions changed.

“These are my people. What right do you have to order them around? They are the people my mother left me. What right do you have? They only listen to me.”

Song Yuan was furious and, disregarding my presence, retorted directly.

"is it?"

Song Yuzhou stared directly at Song Yuan. I couldn't see Song Yuzhou's expression, but I could clearly sense that Song Yuan's face had changed.

Finally, Song Yuan left with her bodyguard.

Do you know how to play cards?

Song Yuzhou looked straight ahead, but the question he asked was directed at me.

I instinctively opened my mouth to say no, but Song Yuzhou didn't give me a chance to answer, as if he were talking to himself: "Fine, it's fine to be a pretty face if you can't do it."

"Get on the bus and change your clothes."

Song Yuzhou found two shopping bags somewhere and tossed them to me.

I instinctively took it, wanting to say something, but Song Yuzhou turned around and looked at me with a smile: "I just helped you, now I need your help. You wouldn't be so heartless, would you?"

I clutched the shopping bags and finally changed my clothes.

I never expected it to be a white short-sleeved cheongsam, embroidered with gardenias. The workmanship was exquisite, and the fabric was comfortable. I was wearing white high heels, and as soon as I got out of the car, I noticed that Song Yuzhou's gaze towards me was filled with a hint of amazement.

"Hmm...it's beautiful!"

A playful smile appeared on Song Yuzhou's face.

I was slightly reserved, and listening to his praise, I said coldly, "Just this once."

"Okay, but your face is too eye-catching."

Song Yuzhou produced a black fox mask from somewhere and reached out to put it on me. I instinctively stepped back, took the mask from his hand, glanced at it, and said, "I can do it myself."

"it is good."

Song Yuzhou didn't insist, and I tied the mask strap myself.

"Let's go in. We can't be so abrupt. You're my dance partner."

Song Yuzhou slightly bent his arm, his gaze falling on the person beside me.

I glanced at him and took his arm: "This is the only time. Consider your kindness repaid today."

I took his arm loosely, drew closer to him, and spoke softly.

"You're really naive. Aren't you afraid you won't be able to get out once you go in?"

Song Yuzhou raised an eyebrow slightly, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.

I bit my lip, suddenly feeling timid. I was about to pull my hand away from his when the man gently patted the back of my hand.

"Don't worry, you're just attending as a dance partner. Stay by my side, and no one will dare to make things difficult for you."

Listening to his words, I felt a little more at ease and followed him into the luxury private room.
