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

Chapter 82

The sound was crisp and melodious, resonating in everyone's heart.

Everyone stared at me in disbelief, even Madam Gu was speechless.

I stared at Madam Gu silently, my eyes cold and intimidating.

Madam Gu's expression changed, and she subconsciously wanted to retort, but when she saw my raised hand, she subconsciously stepped back.

I gave a mocking smile, twisted my wrist, and said coldly, "I don't owe you anything, and I certainly don't owe your son anything."

I left after I finished speaking.

Song Yuan's angry roar rang out from behind: "Zhou Nanzhi, how dare you hit Aunt Gu! Brother Jinhuai will not let you get away with this!"

"Really? Then tell him to wake up and come find me."

Weiss just said it's very serious, and whether he'll wake up is still unknown.

I left amidst the astonished gazes of everyone.

Time flies. A week passed and I was discharged from the hospital. During that time, Song Yuan came to cause trouble once, but I slapped her away. She never came again, and I was happy to have some peace and quiet.

"Zhizhi, wait here for a moment, I'll go and complete the discharge procedures."

"it is good."

Su Qi left in a hurry after she finished speaking.

I stood by the window, quietly gazing at the scenery outside. A gentle autumn breeze was blowing, and the leaves were gradually turning yellow. When the wind blew, the leaves seemed to lose their way, fluttering in the wind.

"Zhou Nanzhi, Jin Huai hasn't woken up yet, aren't you going to go see him?"

Suddenly, Weiss's voice rang out from behind, his tone tinged with displeasure.

I turned to look at him and said softly, "I hit his mother. Do you think he'd want to see me if he woke up?"

"Are you sure you're ruthless? That's Gu Jinhuai's mother, you..."

"Oh, so you mean she can hit me, and I can't fight back, I should just take it?"

I interrupted him and glanced at him sideways.

That one glance was enough to make Weiss's heart tremble, and he hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant."

"I won't see him. You should leave."

I have no intention of saying anything to anyone related to Gu Jinhuai. I turned around and spoke coldly.

"Zhou Nanzhi, I never expected you to be so heartless. Do you even know what Jin Huai is like...?"

Weiss abruptly stopped speaking, and I had no interest in listening.

After I was discharged from the hospital, I was called to the police station to give a statement, and then I went home.

"Nanzhi, the school has already arranged leave for you. You should rest at home. Su Qi will stay with you during this time."

Fu Yiran put down his things, gave a few instructions, and then left in a hurry.

I watched his retreating figure, then turned my gaze to Su Qi: "What happened?"

This is the first time I've seen Fu Yiran so anxious. Before, no matter what happened, he was always very composed.

"It's okay, don't worry about it, get some rest."

Su Qi's words were evasive, and I frowned slightly. I had hit Madam Gu, and given her vengeful nature, she wouldn't let it go so easily. She had stayed in the hospital for so long, yet Madam Gu hadn't retaliated, which wasn't like her.

Finally, under my persistent questioning, Su Qi confessed.

"The school has informed us that your admission will be revoked."

“Nanzhi, the Gu family is going too far. They are targeting you everywhere because of their power. Don’t worry, Senior Fu said he has a way to make sure you don’t drop out of school.”

Su Qi's eyes reddened again as she finished speaking.

"Ah."

I gave a soft "hmm" and went back to my bedroom.

When I slapped him, I had already considered the worst possible outcome.

I just didn't expect the price to be so high. I was still too inconsiderate. I sighed heavily and stared at the ceiling for a long time.

The next morning, I received a call from the school leaders. Because of my actions, the heir of the Gu Group was injured, and the school chose to refuse my admission as an exchange student and expelled me directly without giving me a chance to explain.

I predicted it yesterday, but even now, listening to it still makes me feel depressed and extremely uncomfortable.

"Zhizhi, open the door first."

Su Qi knocked on the door urgently, but I didn't open it; I just stayed in the corner of the bed.

Living is so hard, I had this thought, I really just want to lie here quietly and not care about anything.

Finally, I composed myself and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Su Qi rushed in, looked me up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that I was alright.

"Zhizhi, Senior Fu just called. He'll figure something out. Please don't..."

I met Su Qi's worried gaze, took her hand, and asked, "Did you think I would commit suicide?"

"Zhizhi!"

Su Qi hesitated, unsure of what to say.

"Don't worry, I won't."

I gave her a reassuring look.

In the end, I don't know what Fu Yiran did. Although I no longer qualify as an exchange student abroad, I can still return to China to continue my university studies and graduate safely.

To thank Fu Yiran for his help, I decided to treat him to lunch.

I took him to a nearby restaurant: "Senior Fu, thank you, otherwise I might have been expelled."

"What would you like to eat? It's on me today."

I looked sincere and full of gratitude towards Fu Yiran.

"You're being too polite. It's just a pity I didn't help you stay abroad, otherwise you would have gone much further in the future."

A hint of sadness flashed across Fu Yiran's eyes when he mentioned this matter.

Seeing his self-blame, I said directly, "This has nothing to do with you. I was too impulsive and offended people, but I never regret it. A person should always fight for their pride."

I looked at Fu Yiran and said sincerely, "When I took action, I had already considered the worst possible outcome. I just didn't expect that you would still help me stay in school and save my studies."

"Because we're friends."

Fu Yiran smiled gently, his eyes brimming with joy.

"Yes! We're friends!"

I responded with a smile, my heart filled with gratitude.

In the past few years, ever since I met Fu Yiran, he has been helping me a lot, both financially and academically.

After parting ways with Fu Yiran, I received a call from the principal of Lincheng that very night. He first greeted me and told me not to overthink it, as they didn't want to miss out on a promising future medical talent.

I was also very grateful to the principal, and after exchanging a few words of greeting, I hung up the phone.

I booked a flight back to China that night, then went to take a shower. Just after I finished showering, my phone rang. I glanced at the screen and saw it was Gu Zi calling. I swiped the screen and answered the call.

"Hey, Gu Zi."

After a long silence, I could vaguely hear soft sobbing in the quiet atmosphere.

Thinking about Gu Jinhuai's current situation, I pursed my lips and waited quietly for Gu Zi to speak.

I thought she would be like Madam Gu, blaming me for everything and finding an outlet to vent her anger on me, but she wasn't.

After a long pause, Gu Zi spoke with a choked voice, "Zhizhi, I want to see you."

I glanced at the time; it was already 8 p.m., but I didn't refuse her request. In the end, we agreed to meet at the coffee shop downstairs.

I wore a knitted sweater, paired with loose-fitting light-colored jeans, and casually threw on a coat before heading out.

"Zhizhi."

A few minutes later, I arrived at the coffee shop downstairs. The coffee shop wasn't crowded in the evening, and in the quiet environment, I spotted Gu Zi in a corner.

After not seeing her for a while, Gu Zi looked much more haggard. When she saw me, she forced a smile at me.

"You came?"

Gu Zi's hoarse voice rang out, her eyes red and swollen, as if she had just been crying.

"Are you ok?"

I asked softly, and what I really wanted to say was, "If you don't want to laugh, don't force yourself." But the words that were on the tip of my tongue changed to something else.

“Zhizhi, the doctor said my brother suffered a head injury. Do you think he might never wake up again? The doctor said we need to find the most important person in his heart and talk to him every day to stimulate his brain, and maybe he will wake up.”

"I know you have a problem with my brother, but he's really pitiful right now, Zhizhi. Please, I'm begging you, go see him, talk to him, okay?"

Gu Zi burst into tears as she spoke. Faced with her request, I hesitated, but in the end, I still did not agree.

“Gu Zi, I slapped your mother before, and I believe Song Yuan has already told you. I was also expelled from school because of this. In addition, your mother asked me out before, and I stood her up. My conflict with your mother has been escalating. She has already said that I am not allowed to appear in front of your brother.”

"Besides, the most important person in your brother's heart is not me. You've got the wrong person."

As I said this, a bitter smile appeared on my lips.
