Chapter 34: Secretly Cannot Be Hidden For the sake of world peace, please do not quarrel...

Gu Zhi drove the car to the gate of a high-end residential area.

"Her son finishes school at 4:30, just wait another fifteen minutes." He raised his wrist to look at his watch.

"You...you...you're not going to kidnap a child, are you?" Zheng Haonan was so scared that he sat up straight.

"Don't think too much. I just want to talk to her." Most of Gu Zhi's face was shrouded in shadow.

A middle-aged woman in a linen dress appeared at the corner of the road, holding the hand of a little boy carrying a rocket backpack.

She has a rosy complexion and well-maintained skin, but when she smiles, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes are very deep, which looks unnatural.

Gu Zhi rolled down the car window and soon met Lin Shuyao's eyes.

The most similar thing between mother and daughter is their eyes, but the difference lies in their habits of looking at people.

Jiang Ziyi's eyes were very frank, making people feel that they were simply being noticed; Lin Shuyao's eyes were full of scrutiny, and she was always weighing the other party's value and bargaining chips.

After sending her stepson home, Lin Shuyao appeared alone under the shade of a tree, carrying a half-full garbage bag.

Gu Zhi motioned Zheng Haonan to follow him.

"Why, do you need to hire a bodyguard to see me?" Lin Shuyao quickly labeled Zheng Haonan, who was wearing a no-name sportswear and had a muscular body, as self-righteous.

"I'm just looking for someone to keep evidence. After all, we've seen your methods of confusing right and wrong in the past." Gu Zhi replied.

Lin Shuyao snorted coldly and crossed her arms.

"You haven't looked for Jiang Ziyi in the past month, right?" The ordinary question sounded a bit threatening when it came out of Gu Zhi's mouth.

"Her? She has already become very successful. How can I afford to disturb her?" Lin Shuyao said sarcastically.

"Are you still in touch with Jiang Shengchao?" Gu Zhi asked immediately.

Lin Shuyao's expression suddenly changed and she looked around.

"Don't mention this name here!" Hatred made her voice distorted.

Gu Zhi watched the scene indifferently.

She teamed up with the man who had abandoned her to blackmail her young adult daughter, intending to ruin her future with doctored footage from the crew. However, she was cheated of all her family wealth by Jiang Shengchao, and even her newly-married wealthy in-laws treated her coldly.

Lin Shuyao is as pitiful as she is hateful.

"Why are you asking these questions?" The woman guessed maliciously, "Is Jiang Ziyi's malicious comments no longer suppressed? Or... is she losing control of her emotions again?"

Gu Zhi clenched his fists, and the muscles in his forearms were tense.

"You're so old, but you still complain about your parents every day. You can't get out of the 'shadow of your childhood'... You're basically incompetent." Lin Shuyao is even more cold-blooded than he thought.

"You are the least qualified person in the world to say this," Gu Zhi tried to suppress his anger. "Venting your hatred on a young child and forcing her to bear her own misfortune is truly incompetent."

"I gave birth to her and raised her by myself, and I have done my best," Lin Shuyao has long been accustomed to dealing with this kind of accusations, "Why, is it that I am the one who ruined her in the end..."

"You don't deserve to ruin her," Gu Zhi interrupted firmly, "Jiang Ziyi's life will only get better and better."

The topic raised by Zheng Haonan aroused strong resonance among all the members of the family and friends group.

"Gu Zhi is a very thoughtful person. Every time he quarrels with Jiang Ziyi, he will turn into the ultimate villain and will stop at nothing to get back together." Liu Feilu described it vividly.

"What kind of self-torture tactics, Mission Impossible, wiretapping, tracking, poaching, and psychological tactics, except Jiang Ziyi who is the target, all others are tools." Chen Yuan could tell at a glance that he had experienced it fully.

"What the hell?" Jiang Ziyi was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it the same routine every time he tries to make peace with me?"

He appeared in front of her unexpectedly, and pestered her with a wronged look until she softened her heart.

"Ha, how do you think he finds your specific position every time?" Mao Yuanzhan, who had been rubbed repeatedly by the evil Gu, said exhaustedly.

"And how did it make you feel so miserable?" Military strategist Chen Yuan has been carrying this heavy burden for a long time.

"Jiang Ziyi is also very scary when she is quarreling with Gu Zhi. She will do a lot of outrageous things with a normal look on her face." Mao Yuanzhan further revealed.

"I get up at three in the morning to wash my hair; I rush downstairs in the community to walk other people's dogs; I quarrel with the electric fan for no apparent reason and even use my mouth to compete with it to see whose wind power is stronger." Chen Yuan lists all of them.

"Even though I had blocked all the contact information, I still checked my phone every two minutes. I hid when I saw a figure, and I felt secretly disappointed when I found out it wasn't Gu Zhi." Mao Yuanzhan continued.

Jiang Ziyi: "...Traitors! You two are traitors!"

"For the sake of world peace, please stop quarreling in the future." Zheng Haonan clasped his hands together and said sincerely.

[What a poor group of relatives and friends]

[It seems like everyone has been putting up with this couple for a long time! ］

[Feeling sorry for Mao Yuanzhan who was single-point-blasted by Gu Zhi]

[Feeling sorry for cat foster specialist Chen Yuan]

[I feel sorry for Zheng Haonan who was dragged around]

[I feel sorry for Liu Feilu who has witnessed Gu Zhi's villainous face]

[…Then I should feel sorry for the dog that got snatched away from the opportunity to walk two more laps! ］

[Gu Zhi’s poaching skills are really successful... Chen Yuan and Mao Yuanzhan have become walking intelligence machines]

[I’m not convinced so I blow air into the fan… this is so cute]

[We hold hands and just can’t let go of each other]

[For the sake of world peace, please stop quarreling! ］

[It feels like they are still showing off their affection…]

"The most shocking thing was when Gu Zhi and Jiang Ziyi got their marriage certificate." Zheng Haonan became more and more excited as they talked.

"It's too difficult for Gu Zhi to make the official announcement..." Before he finished his words, Mao Yuanzhan coughed wildly, Chen Yuan drank water awkwardly, and Liu Feilu covered his mouth with her hand.

"Why bother to make an official announcement?" Jiang Ziyi quickly grasped the point, "Were we forced to announce our marriage because we were photographed by paparazzi?"

Four pairs of guilty eyes looked at Gu Zhi in unison.

“…It’s true that I was photographed, but I actually had enough time to buy out the photos.” Gu Zhi chose his words carefully.

"This is what a man who is eager to get married is like." Chen Yuan was the first to criticize.

"He just couldn't hide it." Mao Yuanzhan defended him.

"I really want the whole world to know that he has a wife." Liu Feilu poked her boyfriend's elbow wildly.

"If you don't show off after getting married, it's the same as not having anything... I'm sorry, it's all my fault for having this damn mouth." Zheng Haonan said with his head down.

————————————————————

"Have you been secretly looking at my big-eyed forum again?" Jiang Ziyi put the cold soda bottle on Gu Zhi's face.

"No." Gu Zhi responded vaguely and covered the screen with his hand.

"Do you really not need me to ask the PR team to resolve it?" He confirmed with Jiang Ziyi for the eleventh time today.

“No need. Controlling the comments at this time will only make the viewing experience worse,” Jiang Ziyi opened the can with a click. “Besides, I am also looking forward to the reaction of those haters after they see the court verdict.”

Jiang Shengchao specifically chose the eve of their wedding to reveal all the so-called negative information about Jiang Ziyi.

She was throwing tantrums and acting like a big shot on the set because she had been working nonstop for two days to complete the announcements, and she was arguing with her agent just for half an hour of rest.

The bullying of young actors was nothing more than a remix of several disputes with the "Neighbors" group, with Zhou Shengsheng and others adding fuel to the fire.

The recording of "talking about other artists in the nanny car" was spliced ​​together under the guidance of Lin Shuyao.

These half-true and half-false pieces of information would have sparked some discussion, but the fact that such low-level pornographic rumors about being kept by multiple sponsors had spread online was something Jiang Ziyi found a little funny.

Gu Zhi cared about these comments more than she did. When he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, he would open a small account to charge into the battle.

But he really doesn't know how to swear, and his typing speed is average. After he finally put out a valid argument, the other party simply replied "You are impatient" and blocked him.

"How can this be?" Gu Zhi felt that netizens were simply unethical. "I told him that the 5-minute and 48-second audio had obvious traces of splicing. It's fine if he didn't believe me, but what's the point of him saying I was showing off the model of my phone?"

"I just liked a selfie you posted before, why did you go to your homepage to check my profile and say I was a troll?"

"You not only look like a troll, but also like a robot." Jiang Ziyi laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. "Who would start a post on a forum with the sentence 'to state the purpose clearly' these days?"

"I should be able to do it if I practice more." Gu Zhi said eagerly.

"Go to bed early. You don't have to scold me back." Jiang Ziyi reached out and ruffled his hair. "Don't worry, I'm wearing invincible armor. No one can break my defense except Lin Shuyao."

"I know that replying these now will not have any effect, but I just feel angry." Gu Zhi was blocked again in the blink of an eye, but this time he pressed the report button skillfully.

"I'm already very happy that you're like this," Jiang Ziyi said softly, "I don't need the whole world to be on my side. That would be very troublesome."

"But the heat generated during the clarification will never be as high as the topic that fermented before that. I don't think this is a solution." Gu Zhi straightened the frame of his glasses.

"I am an artist, and it is my duty to entertain the public." Jiang Ziyi has always been open-minded in this regard.

"But it would be better if the black and red effect was stronger. Now it ranks in the top ten of the trending searches at most," she joked, "It's still difficult to get roles."

Gu Zhi frowned, seriously worried about her.

"Hey, I'm just kidding. My workload lately... is actually quite satisfying. I have time to walk the dog every day, and Robert only knows how to catch the frisbee I throw!" Jiang Ziyi wanted to continue persuading him to go to sleep.

Gu Zhi still said nothing, and the way he looked in thought was very charming.

Jiang Ziyi walked to the desk, leaned over, and gave him a small kiss on the corner of his lips.

This method of waking up Sleeping Beauty always works for Gu Zhi.

A glimmer flashed across Gu Zhi's eyes, and he took her hand and pulled her to his side.

"If we make an official announcement directly, can we solve this problem?" Gu Zhi asked softly.
