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

Chapter Ninety-Seven

"I'm sorry, I can explain this."

Gu Jinhuai put his hands on my shoulders, but when he met my clear eyes, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Seeing his speechless expression, I sneered, "Speak up, why aren't you saying anything? You can't find any other excuses, can you? I'm tired of hearing your excuses."

"That night was just an accident. We have nothing to do with each other afterward, and you don't need to rack your brains to come up with any excuses to fob me off."

I had just shaken off his hand and was about to leave when the door behind me opened, and Gu Jinhuai shoved me into the passenger seat without saying a word, slamming the door shut.

"Let me out."

I pounded on the car window, but the man didn't budge. He got into the car, started it, and drove away.

I stared at the cold, hard lines of his profile, my brow furrowed, a feeling of unease stuck in my chest, unable to rise or fall. Finally, I simply closed my eyes and pretended to be dead.

After a long pause, Gu Jinhuai, seeing that I remained motionless, finally spoke: "I will handle this matter."

I knew he was referring to Zhou Yong. After a few seconds of pause, the man's voice rang out again: "Don't worry, your dad will be fine."

As I listened to his words, I suddenly opened my eyes, my tone still cold: "If you can get him in there, I'll thank your ancestors for eighteen generations."

Gu Jinhuai's eyelids twitched, and he abruptly stopped the car on the side of the road. He stared at me for a long time before finally uttering, "Are you serious?"

"you……"

A sudden phone call interrupted me. As soon as I answered, I heard Su Qi sobbing.

"Zhizhi, something terrible has happened! Aunt Hui has fainted."

"what?"

I was startled and immediately tried to hail a taxi to Lincheng.

But Gu Jinhuai didn't open the door. Although I was angry, I still patiently explained, "Put me down, don't make me hate you for the rest of my life."

Gu Jinhuai tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his gaze deep and unfathomable, his lips pressed into a straight line, but his last words were gentle: "I'll take you there."

Without saying a word, Gu Jinhuai slammed on the gas pedal, and the car sped away like an arrow.

"Hold on tight, I'll take you flying!"

Gu Jinhuai had a faint smile on his face. When he looked at me, he even winked at me, just like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

For a moment, I felt my eyes burning and quickly looked away.

“Gu Jinhuai, this is unbecoming of your domineering CEO persona. Don’t do it again.”

My tone was cold, but I was worried about Aunt Hui's illness.

Neither of us spoke the rest of the way. I subconsciously closed my eyes, preparing to rest, when suddenly, there was a loud bang in front of the car, and my head slammed forward due to inertia.

Gu Jinhuai blocked my forehead with his hand, and with a thud, I heard him groan and withdraw his hand.

Luckily, I was wearing a seatbelt; otherwise, at that speed, I would have been thrown out.

"what happened?"

My drowsiness vanished instantly. I looked at Gu Jinhuai and found that the man's face was frighteningly gloomy.

I followed his gaze and saw a white car blocking the middle of the road.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged woman got out of the car; it was Mrs. Song. Then, Song Yuan also got out of the car, looking haggard and as if she had aged ten years.

Madam Song grabbed her arm, her face not looking too good, and pulled her over to knock on the car window on Gu Jinhuai's side.

Gu Jinhuai narrowed his eyes slightly, but still rolled down the car window: "Speak."

The man spoke indifferently, exuding an aura that said, "Don't mess with me."

“Jinhuai, Song Yuan was also deceived. This matter cannot be entirely blamed on her. She was not fully recovered when I brought her to see you so that she could apologize to you.”

Madam Song winked at Song Yuan, who looked at Gu Jinhuai with teary eyes. When her gaze fell on me sitting in the car, a look of resentment appeared in her eyes.

Seeing her angry but unable to speak out, I found it amusing, but I was worried about Aunt Hui. There were few cars on the road now, and anxiety flashed in my eyes.

Gu Jinhuai seemed to sense my urgency and gave me a reassuring look. He glanced at Song Yuan and finally landed on Madam Song, saying in a cold voice, "Madam Song, I heard everything that happened that day. She likes Liu Ke. Since she is already pregnant with his child, I will make Liu Ke take responsibility and marry her."

As I listened to Gu Jinhuai's words, a look of astonishment flashed across my eyes.

I never expected that Song Yuan liked Liu Ke.

"Don't listen to her nonsense. What does she know about liking someone? The son of a teacher can only be a teacher at best. What future can he have? Our two families should get married. That would be a perfect match."

"Say it quickly!"

Madam Song glanced at Song Yuan, who had killed someone in the accident, and then pinched her arm hard. The latter felt the pain, stared at Gu Jinhuai with teary eyes, and choked out, "Brother Jinhuai, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I will definitely be a good wife to you from now on."

Before Song Yuan could finish her tearful complaint, Gu Jinhuai had already pulled out two red booklets with three words written on them—marriage certificate.

Gu Jinhuai said calmly, "I'm already married, Miss Song. Please have some self-respect. What I owed you, I've already paid back!"

Mrs. Song, who was standing to the side, looked at the marriage certificate and her sinister gaze fell on me. I felt a chill run down my spine. I looked back at her with cold eyes, but Mrs. Song had already looked away, and her face showed a few more traces of anger.

"Mr. Gu, don't forget, the core technology of medical electronics belongs to the Song family. Your current actions will only offend me, and you'll end up with nothing. Professor Wang will be back from abroad soon, and then you..."

Before Madam Song could finish speaking, Gu Jinhuai said impatiently, "I'm in a hurry. Talk to my assistant if you have something to say."

Gu Jinhuai slowly rolled up the car window, and in that brief moment, I saw the photo on the marriage certificate.

it's me!

My pupils contracted sharply, and I thought I was seeing things. When I opened my eyes again, Gu Jinhuai had already put the marriage certificate away.

"you are married?"

I asked tentatively.

"Hmm, you're interested?"

I met the man's eyes, which seemed to be both smiling and not smiling, and for a moment I lost all curiosity.

I must have misread it. I guess I'm still haunted by the trauma from my past life. Besides, who he marries is none of my business.

I tried to force myself to shift my attention.

"It's not impossible for you to take a look, since you'll have to look at it sooner or later anyway."

Listening to Gu Jinhuai's rambling, I simply turned my body to the side to avoid his gaze and retorted, "Who cares to look? Hurry up and drive."

I gripped my phone tightly, my heart filled with worry.

"it is good."

Gu Jinhuai gave me a deep look, and the car slowly drove away.

I glanced at Song Yuan and Madam Song standing there through the rearview mirror, then slowly looked away.

When I arrived in Lincheng, it was already evening. I contacted Fu Yiran and learned that Aunt Hui had gone into the operating room and had not come out yet.

My face turned pale. As soon as the car stopped, I pushed open the door and ran out. I asked around and finally reached the entrance of the emergency room. When I saw Fu Yiran standing there, he looked dejected.

Fu Yiran also saw it, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

"How did Aunt Hui end up in the operating room?"

I quickly asked a question.

"I was making breakfast today when I suddenly fainted."

Fu Yiran's voice became hoarse.

"Where's Xiaoxiao?"

I looked around but didn't see Xiaoxiao. Although we hadn't known each other much, I learned from Su Qi that since Fu Yiran's father died unexpectedly, her relatives had distanced themselves from her and her mother. Aunt Hui had struggled to raise her children and now suffered from a host of health problems.

Xiaoxiao also developed autism due to the trauma. She has finally gotten better and can go to school. But what will happen to such a young child like Xiaoxiao if something happens to Aunt Hui?

"Su Qi is taking care of her, Zhizhi, can I hug you?"

Looking at Fu Yiran's vulnerable appearance, I moved my lips, about to speak, when Gu Jinhuai's voice sounded behind me.

"That's a bit offensive. How about you hug me instead?"

Gu Jinhuai pulled me behind him, spread his arms, and looked at Fu Yiran with a provocative gaze.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but he deliberately put the marriage certificate in his chest pocket. The three words "marriage certificate" pierced Fu Yiran's eyes, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes as he glanced back and forth between me and Gu Jinhuai.

"you……"

Before Fu Yiran could finish speaking, Gu Jinhuai put his arm around her shoulder, his eyes full of warning.

Suddenly, Fu Yiran felt as if his neck was being restrained, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Just then, the door to the emergency room behind us slowly opened, and a doctor pushed a hospital bed out.

"Doctor, how is my mother now?"
