The A City Hotel is owned by the Ouyang family and is one of the most upscale hotels in City A.

Ouyang Yu said that he wanted to host a welcoming party for Zhao Shu, naturally at their hotel.

It's your own territory, you are free and can do whatever you want.

Zhao Shu drank a few glasses of wine, and her pretty face was flushed. Under the light, she exuded the seductive charm of a mature woman.

From the moment Ouyang Yu saw her, his eyes were almost always glued to her.

"Zhao Shu, where are you planning to live?"

Ouyang Yu filled her glass with wine again and asked with concern, "How about living in my house? My house is big and has many rooms. You can live in any room. My mother likes you so much. If you move in, she will definitely be very happy."

Mrs. Ouyang and Mrs. Zhao used to be card-playing friends and had close contacts in private.

Ouyang Yu and Zhao Shu have known each other since they were young, thanks to their mothers who love playing cards.

Zhao Shu picked up the wine glass and shook the wine in it, watching the wine draw beautiful arcs in the glass as she shook it.

"Ouyang, thank you for your hospitality and kindness. We still have a house in City A. After all, my household registration has always been in City A, so we didn't sell the villa. Over the years, I have come back occasionally, but mostly stayed at home. The housekeeper is still helping us look after the house."

Zhao Shu refused Ouyang Yu's offer.

Her main purpose of returning to China was to marry Ye Junbo and become the next mistress of the Jun family.

How can I live in the Ouyang family?

Ouyang Yu and Ye Junbo are still sworn enemies.

Even if they weren't sworn enemies, what would others think of her if she moved into the Ouyang family? Ye Junbo would definitely suspect that she and Ouyang Yu were having an affair.

How could Zhao Shu do something that would be detrimental to his reputation?

Ouyang Yu said sourly, "When you came back last summer, you lived in the Jun family's holiday villa in the south of the city until you left."

Zhao Shu laughed. "The Jun family's holiday villa is open to the public. Countless people go there for vacation every summer vacation, and I'm not the only one."

"Ouyang, come and clink glasses."

Ouyang Yu picked up the wine glass and clinked it with hers. Then, he took a sip and watched her drink the whole glass of wine with his eyes.

"Ouyang."

Zhao Shu put down his wine glass, reached out, and shook Ouyang Yu's hand. He looked him in the eye and said, "You and Junbo have known each other since childhood. It's not an exaggeration to say that you are childhood friends. Why fight to the death and make me, your mutual friend, feel caught in the middle and feel so awkward?"

Ouyang Yu lowered his head and looked at her fair jade hands.

She took the initiative to shake his hand, and he was happy.

But her words did not make him happy.

Ouyang Yu retracted his hand and said coldly, "Why don't you go and persuade Ye Junbo not to become my enemy? Zhao Shu, you are biased towards Ye Junbo."

"I...have always treated you two equally."

Zhao Shu did not admit that he was biased towards Ye Junbo.

Ouyang Yu looked at her quietly for a long time, his tone sour and tinged with resentment, "Zhao Shu, in the upper class of City A, everyone knows that you are deeply in love with Ye Junbo, but what about him? How did he treat you ten years ago? Have you forgotten it?"

"It's been ten years. Who caused you to leave the country? Do you still love him?"

He suddenly grabbed Zhao Shu's hand and squeezed it hard, making Zhao Shu feel his unwillingness and anger.

"Zhao Shu, you and I have known each other since we were young. We are childhood sweethearts. I am no worse than Ye Junbo, but you have never seen me in your eyes. Over the years, can't you feel my affection for you at all? I've been waiting for you, always waiting for you, waiting for you to give up Ye Junbo, waiting for you to return home willingly."

"Zhao Shu, give up on Ye Junbo. That man is a smiling tiger. He appears gentle and refined on the surface, but in reality he has a heart of stone. You can't move his cold heart. He simply doesn't know how to love. Have you seen him have a woman by his side over the years?"

"He never gets involved in any scandals. He's almost 30 years old and doesn't even have a girlfriend. Although people in our circle aren't in a rush for marriage, isn't he acting this way? I seriously suspect he's a eunuch, an inhuman eunuch!"

Zhao Shu: “…”

Ouyang Yu's suspicion of Ye Junbo brought back Zhao Shu's memories.

Ye Junbo’s birthday is Chinese Valentine’s Day. People say that people born on Chinese Valentine’s Day are infatuated.

But Zhao Shu only saw coldness and ruthlessness in Ye Junbo.

The Chinese Valentine's Day ten years ago was Ye Junbo's nineteenth birthday.

Zhao Shu, who was only half a year younger than him, made a bold decision. On the night of Ye Junbo's nineteenth birthday, he wanted to give himself to Ye Junbo as a birthday gift.

Who knew that Ye Junbo would remain unmoved...

He also told her that he had never loved her and that they were just childhood playmates, not even childhood sweethearts.

Zhao Shu didn't expect that his initiative would end up like this.

Unable to bear the blow, she fled to another country.

Only she, Junbo and Ouyang Yu knew about this.

At that time, Zhao Shu regarded Ouyang Yu as her best male friend. She did not hide the fact that she wanted to climb into Ye Junbo's bed from Ouyang Yu, and even asked Ouyang Yu to help her.

"Zhao Shu, I don't want to be just your friend, your bestie, or your buddy. I want to be your boyfriend and your husband in the future. Zhao Shu, can't you see my good side?"

Zhao Shu looked at him without saying anything.

She's not stupid.

As she grew older, she knew that Ouyang Yu didn't want to be her best male friend. He was so good to her and tolerated her in every way because he loved her!

Ouyang Yu is not a bad person, but Zhao Shu just wants to conquer Ye Junbo.

"Ouyang, you are drunk."

"I'm not drunk."

Ouyang Yu growled, "Don't change the subject. I know what I'm talking about now."

Zhao Shu was silent for a moment, pulled his hand back, then picked up his bag, stood up, and said to Ouyang Yu, "It's late, I'm tired after sitting on the plane for most of the day, I'm going to go home and rest first. Ouyang, thank you for your hospitality. After I've rested well, I'll find time to treat you to dinner."

After saying that, she pulled out the chair and left.

"Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu!"

Ouyang Yu called her twice but failed to stop her.

He slammed the table in pain and anger.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "Ye Junbo, I will never stop fighting you in this life!"

He targeted Ye Junbo largely because of Zhao Shu, and of course it was also related to business.

There can't be two tigers in one mountain

The two companies are involved in almost the same business, so it is normal for them to be jealous of each other and become sworn enemies.

Zhao Shu walked out of the A City Hotel, took out her cell phone and called her driver to tell him to come pick her up.

After the call, she couldn't help but send a message to Ye Junbo.

The message was very short: Junbo, I'm back.

After sending the message, Zhao Shu was waiting for Ye Junbo to reply to her.
