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

Chapter 80

I don't know if Gu Jinhuai is doing this out of revenge or just for fun, but whatever it is, he's not good to me.

My heart was pounding, and I didn't dare to look at Gu Jinhuai. I sat quietly with my back straight, waiting for Gu Jinhuai's final judgment.

The next moment, Gu Jinhuai bent down and poured the last bit of wine from the bottle into a glass, gently swirling the glass, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Everyone present, except for the drunken man who was talking nonsense, changed their expressions.

Seeing Gu Jinhuai's expression, I knew better than anyone that he was angry.

Gu Jinhuai tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. The glass slammed heavily onto the table, and the moment he let go, it cracked and shattered.

Immediately afterward, catching everyone off guard, Gu Jinhuai picked up an empty wine bottle from the table and smashed it directly at the drunk man.

With a loud bang, the bottle shattered and hit the ground with a crisp sound.

At the same time, a man's wailing sounded, and I inexplicably shuddered.

The man next to him stared at him expressionlessly, radiating a powerful aura that made people afraid to get close, yet I happened to be the closest to him.

He crossed his legs and leaned lazily against the leather sofa, one hand on my shoulder, and my heart skipped a beat.

A hint of arrogance appeared in the man's usually composed eyes. His tone was flamboyant, yet he had the right to be: "Who do you think you are, daring to covet my people?"

The drunk man felt a stinging pain in his forehead and was about to retaliate, but when he saw that the man sitting opposite him was Gu Jinhuai, his pupils suddenly contracted and the effects of the alcohol instantly wore off.

He covered his bleeding forehead, realized what he had just done, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Jinhuai.

His face was deathly pale, and he kept apologizing: "Young Master Gu, I'm sorry I spoke without thinking. Please forgive me. I was just talking nonsense. How could I dare to offend your people?"

In the end, the man started slapping himself in the face.

Soon, only the man's apologies and the sound of slaps filled the private room.

"Are you relieved?"

Gu Jinhuai's gaze fell on me.

I looked at the person kneeling on the ground, my brows furrowed, and a look of disgust flashed across my face.

Actually, the moment this person came in, his gaze was fixed on me. His intense gaze carried a hint of malice, which made me feel disgusted.

I didn't say anything. Gu Jinhuai put his arm around my waist and said coldly, "Continue."

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the private room held their breath, and all that could be heard was the sound of him slapping his hands, growing louder and louder.

"okay."

I felt the gazes directed at me from all around, my brow twitched slightly, and my voice carried a hint of impatience.

Gu Jinhuai didn't speak, but stared at me. After a while, he laughed out loud, his cool fingertips pinching the back of my neck as he gradually moved closer, a meaningful smile flashing in his eyes.

Gu Jinhuai looked at the person, who exuded a sense of restlessness, and his slightly rough fingers rubbed against my neck.

The force gradually increased, and I couldn't help but gasp.

But glancing to the side, she noticed a hint of irritation in Gu Jinhuai's expression.

I gritted my teeth, clenched my fists tightly, not wanting to anger anyone, and endured the pain in my neck without uttering a sound.

Gu Jinhuai seemed to have gotten tired of playing around. He withdrew his hand, placed one hand on his knee and tapped it rhythmically, while playing with my fingers with the other. He glanced sideways at the man on the ground, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, and said coldly, "Get out of here!"

Those three simple and blunt words sent a chill down the man's spine. He wanted to say something, but Gu Jinhuai didn't give him the right to speak.

The door to the private room was opened directly, and two burly bodyguards dragged the person away.

The private room fell into a deep reverie, but the little incident was quickly forgotten.

"Miss Zhou, it's been a long time."

Just then, Weiss's voice came from across the room. I looked up and realized that the man sitting opposite me was Weiss.

This is the third time we've met. I knew he and Gu Jinhuai were good friends when I played cards with Song Yuzhou last time.

In my past life, I knew nothing about Gu Jinhuai, not even how many friends he had.

He wanted to stay far away from everyone in his life, but he always ended up running into people connected to him unexpectedly.

Fate played a cruel trick on us.

I didn't expect him to have such a good memory; he actually remembered my name.

Last time I was playing cards with Song Yuzhou, I ran into Gu Jinhuai, but I didn't say a word the whole time and was wearing a mask, so how could he possibly tell?

I snapped out of my thoughts, smiled at him gracefully, and said, "Hello, Mr. Weiss."

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a sharp pain in my wrist.

As soon as I looked away, I was met with the man's cold gaze. His voice was deep, and only the two of us could hear it: "Very beautiful?"

As I listened to his words, a fleeting look of confusion crossed my eyes, but I quickly grasped what he meant, and I didn't explain.

Would you like some wine?

Weiss raised an eyebrow and handed me the poured wine.

Just as I was about to reach out to take it, Gu Jinhuai snatched it away, tilted his head back, and drank it down quickly, surprising everyone.

I stared at him in surprise, but he looked straight ahead, not even glancing at me, and coldly said, "She doesn't drink."

Soon, the waiter handed me a glass of orange juice. I glanced at it, but just held it in my hand without drinking it.

Gu Jinhuai seemed to sense my concerns and gently rubbed the back of my neck, saying, "Don't worry, drink it. There's no medicine in it."

Looking into Gu Jinhuai's serious eyes, I hesitated for a moment before putting down the orange juice and coldly saying, "No need, I only trust myself."

"Really? You'd better tell no one."

Gu Jinhuai gave me a deep look, chuckled, picked up the orange juice I had just placed on the coffee table, tilted his head back and drank it down in one gulp, whether intentionally or not, and then turned the glass upside down.

In my opinion, it's incredibly naive.

I ignored them. Apart from Gu Jinhuai and Weiss, I had never seen anyone else in the private room before. Because of Gu Jinhuai's strong aura and the unpleasantness just now, everyone was too reserved and kept flattering me.

When I sat down at the very back, I felt like my lower back was about to break. I subconsciously leaned back a little, but I didn't expect Gu Jinhuai's arm to be behind me. I instinctively tried to sit forward, but the man held my waist and I ended up lying on his arm.

Immediately afterwards, the man's large hands gently rubbed and massaged my lower back.

It must be said that Gu Jinhuai's technique was excellent; the soreness disappeared in no time.

"Comfortable?"

Suddenly, Gu Jinhuai approached, his voice hoarse and low, with a strange smile and a meaningful look in his eyes.

My head buzzed, and I instinctively tried to escape, but he was still holding my waist and I couldn't move.

If the lighting in the private room hadn't been so dim that I couldn't see my flushed face, I would have wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.

Even late into the night, no one seemed inclined to leave. Gu Jinhuai borrowed my phone, saying he needed it for something very important, but when I got closer, I discovered he was playing a match-3 game.

I snatched the phone from him and glared at him angrily: "Playing games is what you consider important?"

To my surprise, Gu Jinhuai showed no embarrassment at being exposed. He watched me snatch the phone but didn't try to take it back.

Finally, they started playing cards. Although Gu Jinhuai didn't participate, he just sat there drinking.

My head was spinning, and my eyes were starting to feel sleepy, but I still fought off the drowsiness and tried my best to keep them open.

I thought to myself: This isn't some kind of collective punishment meeting, am I supposed to stay up until dawn? Just as I was about to fall asleep, Gu Jinhuai stopped drinking and pinched my waist. I instantly woke up and sat up straight.

"It's getting late, let's head back."

Gu Jinhuai pulled me down to the second floor, but the second floor had already closed. I thought of Fu Yiran and just took out my phone when I found that it was out of battery.

Gu Jinhuai has used up all his points, and he doesn't even know if Fu Yiran has gone back yet.

I frowned, and Gu Jinhuai pinched my chin. We looked into each other's eyes, and he said, "What's with that expression? Am I bullying you?"

"You didn't?"

I slapped his hand away and hurried downstairs.

It's already past 1 a.m., and there are very few cars on the roadside. I glanced at my phone and no one accepted my order. Just as I was getting annoyed, Gu Jinhuai pulled me towards the Maybach parked next to him.

"I'll take you back."

Gu Jinhuai was adamant, but he shoved her into the driver's seat and sat in the passenger seat himself.

"drive."

"Didn't you bring me here?"

I stared wide-eyed at his outrageous antics.

“I’ve been drinking. If you don’t want to end up in the police station tomorrow, drive.”

"You've seen my driving skills."

I stared at him with a deliberately mischievous grin.

To my surprise, he opened his eyes, his dark, deep gaze fixed on me, his expression serious: "If we're going to die, we'll die together."

"Fine, then let's die together."

I was all smiles, but no one knew how happy I felt when I said those words.

I've had this extreme thought: to drag him down with me into hell.
