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

Chapter 96

"hiss--"

I cried out in pain, and tears welled up in my dark eyes.

Upon noticing this, Gu Jinhuai's expression shifted slightly, but he was quickly provoked by Song Yuzhou's words.

"Do you know that while you were serving other women, Xiaozhizhi was already with me? You have no idea how happy and wonderful we were during that time."

Listening to Song Yuzhou spouting nonsense with a straight face, I angrily interrupted him: "Shut up."

"Is Xiaozhi worried about me, afraid he'll beat me up? Don't worry, I know martial arts, it's not certain who will beat whom..."

Song Yuzhou's laughter abruptly stopped as Gu Jinhuai's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he stared intently at him. Gu Jinhuai uttered three words, each one laced with malice: "You're courting death!"

Immediately afterwards, I saw Gu Jinhuai rush over, clench his fist and punch him directly. Song Yuzhou's smile vanished, and he didn't dodge, letting Gu Jinhuai hit him.

With a thud, Song Yuzhou stumbled back a few steps due to inertia. He looked up at me with a smile, but his voice was tinged with grievance: "Little Zhizhi, don't feel sorry for me. This is a matter between us men. We'll handle it ourselves."

No sooner had Song Yuzhou finished speaking than Gu Jinhuai's second punch came flying towards them.

I remained calm, spread my hands, and said indifferently, "Do whatever you want, I'm not going to watch the show here."

After I finished speaking, I immediately hailed a car, got in, and drove away.

I glanced at the two people standing there dumbfounded in the rearview mirror, a mocking smile playing on my lips.

If it were in my past life, perhaps I would have felt sorry for others and wouldn't have been able to bear hurting them, but this time, I don't care anymore.

I instinctively clenched my fists, only to find my palms empty. My expression changed, and I cursed Gu Jinhuai and the other man in my mind.

I glanced at the time and decided to go home immediately. At this hour, Zhou Yong was probably drinking and drowning his sorrows somewhere. I rushed home and searched every corner for Zhou Yong's hair.

This time I was smarter; I prepared a sealed bag and tweezers.

As soon as I opened the door, the living room was very clean. I ran to the bedroom first, only to find that it was neat and clean, spotless. A hint of suspicion flashed in my eyes.

After leaving the bedroom, I stubbornly went to the bathroom, which was also very clean.

This is very unusual. According to Zhou Yong's habits, his house should be a mess. How could it be so clean? He would never pay someone to clean it.

I had just stepped out of the living room when I heard a click. The door to the entryway opened, and a well-dressed woman walked in. Our eyes met, followed by the woman's shrill scream.

"Who are you? Who let you in? This is my home, get out of here right now!"

A look of panic flashed across the woman's face, and she grabbed her bag from her waist and threw it at me.

I instinctively tried to dodge, but the woman wouldn't give up and kept throwing things at me.

Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. I grabbed the water glass on the coffee table and slammed it to the ground with a loud bang. Instantly, the air became completely silent.

"Can you shut up? It's so noisy!"

I impatiently picked at my ear, my cold gaze sweeping over her, looking her up and down.

The woman was well-maintained, with exquisite makeup on her face and chestnut brown curly hair. However, there was a hint of panic and vigilance in her eyes. She wore a floral dress under her dark red coat.

"who are you?"

"Is this Zhou Yong's home?"

We spoke at the same time. The woman glanced at me and suddenly realized, "You must be his daughter."

I didn't say anything, waiting for her to continue.

"Zhou Yong said I own half of this house. You're not going to try and take it from me, are you? Let me tell you..."

Listening to her words, I understood that this woman was Zhou Yong's mistress. I have to say, Zhou Yong's methods of flirting with women are endless. Over the years, I've gotten used to it.

I don't know when Zhou Yong will be back, but I still plan to leave.

"Where are you going? You've made such a mess of my house, and you think you can just leave? No way!"

I looked at the woman in front of me, picked up the cup next to me, made a throwing gesture, and sneered: "If you stop me again, believe me, I'll tear your house down!"

"you……"

The woman's face turned red with anger, and she looked at me with fury.

Seeing how all dolled she was dressed, I still kindly reminded her, "He doesn't like women who dress up every day, and he has a history of alcoholism and domestic violence. Be careful."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Zhou Yong is the best person I've ever met. He's not after my money. Get out of here, the farther the better."

I don't know what I said that offended her, but the woman let out a hysterical roar in rebuttal to my words. I sneered and walked away.

Just as I came out, I ran into Zhou Yong, who was entering the residential area. He was accompanied by three men. I glanced back at the fourth-floor window with a calm expression.

As the group approached, I instinctively looked for a building to hide behind, and finally hid in front of the black sedan next to me.

As the group of people drew closer, I instinctively stopped breathing.

Their conversation reached my ears.

"Xiao Zhou, I heard there's something new at home. This one should be more fun than the last one, hahaha!"

As I listened to their foul language, my brow furrowed, and my gaze fell on the fourth floor.

Just then, a hand landed on my shoulder, and my back was pressed against a wall. My heart jumped into my throat.

She instinctively wanted to resist, but then she heard Gu Jinhuai's deep voice in her ear: "It's me."

"open!"

I tried to lower my voice and break free, but the man held me down tightly.

"Don't move. Do you want them to find you?"

Gu Jinhuai remained indifferent, showing no sign of tension.

Looking at his indifferent expression, and then at Zhou Yong and the others who were gradually approaching, even my breathing became lighter.

"Xiao Zhou, didn't you say your daughter was back the other day? When will you introduce her to us? That way, we can discuss our future cooperation more easily."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. That girl has a powerful backer now, so it's not easy to make a move against her. In a few days, I'll definitely let you have a taste of her."

"So what if she has powerful connections? She's probably been played before. I'm already being kind by not looking down on her. The hotter she is, the more I like her. As long as I teach her a lesson, even the fiercest temper can eventually be overcome, hahaha!"

Listening to the foul language uttered by those people, I felt cold, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured directly over my head.

I didn't notice the man behind me's face growing increasingly grim, and the hand gripping my wrist tightening slightly. I couldn't help but gasp out.

Hearing this, the people passing by shouted, "Who's there?"

I froze, shrinking into Gu Jinhuai's arms, my face almost pressed against the car window, when the man behind me suddenly groaned.

"Wow, these young people nowadays are even more adventurous than we were. When should we bring some of them out for a spin too?"

One of them seemed to have discovered some wicked pleasure, and his voice became more sinister.

“Okay, Mr. Liu’s request must also be met. As long as we cooperate in the long term, I can meet any request you have.”

"She's on the fourth floor right now, so I'm not going up. Here's the key."

As Zhou Yong spoke, he took out the key.

"You're so sensible, obediently guarding the door."

President Zhang raised his hand and slapped his cheek a few times, lightly but firmly. Although the slaps were gentle, they were full of insult.

As I listened to the crisp sound of the keys, and thought of the radiant woman inside the house, my heart clenched.

If she knew that what awaited her wasn't the Zhou Yong she longed for, but three disgusting men, what a shock it would be.

While I was lost in thought, the group started going upstairs, and Zhou Yong left in the opposite direction.

I felt a churning in my stomach, and a wave of nausea washed over me. I pushed Gu Jinhuai away and kept bending over to vomit. There was nothing in my stomach, only some sour water.

"Do you want to save her?"

After a long pause, Gu Jinhuai's indifferent voice came from above.

The man remained indifferent, showing no expression whatsoever in the face of the foul language he had just heard, as if he were used to it.

My eyes were wet as I stared at him, my voice cold: "Your conditions?"

"Is that the kind of person you think I am?"

Gu Jinhuai looked at me with a furrowed brow and a cold tone.

I slowly stood up, as if I had heard a ridiculous joke, and asked in return, "Isn't that right? You are Gu Jinhuai."

"Zhou Nanzhi, do you have to speak with such barbs?"

Gu Jinhuai frowned, his voice filled with anger.

"Otherwise what? You've hurt me time and time again, and you still expect me to smile at you? Who gave you that right?"

My cold eyes stared at him indifferently, my voice barely registering a ripple of emotion.
