Chapter 13 She just wanted to humiliate you with money.

After that, Shen Zhen picked up and dropped Yu Shu off from work every day, and arranged three meals a day for her, essentially becoming her personal caretaker. Their relationship gradually improved, and Shen Zhen felt sweet at times and confused at others. On one hand, she cherished the warmth Yu Shu gave her, and on the other hand, she was afraid that one day Yu Shu would get tired of her and suddenly break up with her.

One day, Yu Shu called to say that she had a social engagement that evening and that Shen Zhen didn't need to pick her up. She told Shen Zhen to go to bed early and not to wait for her.

Just as Shen Zhen had put Tuan Tuan to sleep, Jiang Yu called.

"Zhenzhen, come out and drink with us!" The loud music mixed with Jiang Yu's slurred words hit our eardrums.

Shen Zhen gripped her phone tightly and asked worriedly, "Xiao Yu, what's wrong?"

Jiang Che took the phone and shouted, "Zhenzhen! We're at the Nebula Club. You made me go on so many blind dates because of my parents. You have to come out and buy me a drink! To soothe my fragile heart!"

Jiang Yu cried out, her voice trembling with tears, "Zhenzhen, come and be with your sister! I'm so sad, sob sob..."

Shen Zhen thought about it and felt uneasy about leaving the two people there. The Nebula Club was a mixed bag of people, and it was so late. What if they ran into some bad guys? It would be safer to send the two of them home as soon as possible.

Shen Zhen told Zhang Ma and hurried over. In the dimly lit club, the music was loud and the lights were dim, making it impossible to see the emotions on everyone's faces.

Shen Zhen finally found the two people huddled on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief. The two didn't seem drunk, and when they saw her, they smiled and pulled her to the middle.

"Zhenzhen, tonight we're drinking until we drop!" Jiang Yu said with her hands on her hips, pointing at a table full of wine.

Whether it was the music that was too exciting or the lighting that was too dim, Shen Zhen smiled and picked up a bottle of wine, and the three of them started drinking.

Jiang Yu gently leaned her head on Shen Zhen's shoulder and asked, hurt, "Zhenzhen, what's wrong with me? Why doesn't she like me? I checked, she clearly had girlfriends before, so why doesn't she like me?"

Shen Zhen patted Jiang Yu's body reassuringly, "Our Xiao Yu is the best! It's her loss if she doesn't like it!"

Jiang Che chimed in, "Exactly! If all else fails, try pursuing someone else. I think the CEO of Gu's Group is quite handsome! If that doesn't work, go after her!"

Shen Zhen was drinking her wine with her head tilted back when she heard this and choked hard, "Cough cough cough!"

Jiang Che immediately patted her back, asking suspiciously, "What's wrong? Mr. Gu, why are you so agitated?"

Shen Zhen shook her hand and patted her chest, saying, "No..." Shen Zhen did not tell Jiang Che that Yu Shu was her sugar daddy. The Jiang family and the Gu family were in the same circle, and she was afraid that Yu Shu did not want too many people to know. After all, keeping a lover was not a respectable thing.

The three of them nestled on the sofa, drinking and toasting each other.

After drinking a few cups, Shen Zhen's cheeks flushed. After a moment's thought, she mustered her courage and asked, "Friends, what do you mean if you once hurt someone you loved very much, and that person should hate you, but is now treating you very well?"

Jiang Che looked Shen Zhen up and down, placed his hand on her forehead, and frowned as he said, "Zhenzhen, are you talking about that sugar daddy?"

Shen Zhen impatiently slapped Jiang Che's hand away, muttering, "Just talk, don't get physical. It's not good if someone sees us!"

Jiang Che wasn't angry. He casually sat down next to Shen Zhen and said in a pretentious tone, "In my opinion, she's definitely a scheming and manipulative girl. She just wants to dump you when you're completely infatuated, making you suffer terribly!"

With misty eyes and a slightly hurt look on her face, Shen Zhen asked hesitantly, "Isn't it possible that you still really love me?"

Jiang Che waved his hands rapidly and exclaimed, "How could that be?! If I still loved you, wouldn't I be love-struck?! She's asking you to be her lover now, what is that called? That's a transaction of money and sex, you've already lost if you talk about feelings!"

Jiang Yu kicked Jiang Che, "You're a single dog who's never been in a relationship, where do you get all this big talk from? We've both been hurt by love, can't you offer some encouragement?"

Jiang Che clicked his tongue a few times. "I have a lot of theoretical knowledge! What do you call a relationship that isn't based on marriage? That's just playing around! Does Zhenzhen's sugar daddy want to marry her? Obviously not! He just wants to humiliate her with money!"

Jiang Yu said sarcastically, "Oh, why isn't anyone trying to humiliate me with money? Humiliate me as much as you want, I'm thick-skinned, I'm not afraid!"

Jiang Che ignored her and nudged Shen Zhen, "Zhenzhen, the Jiang Group and Gu Group's project is currently underway. Tell me which senior executive is in charge, and I'll help you vet them and see what their character is like!"

Shen Zhen was in low spirits. She picked up her wine bottle and clinked it against Jiang Che's. "Never mind who it is, drink up!"

Jiang Yu pulled Shen Zhen into her arms and, slightly drunk, called out, "Zhenzhen, don't listen to this single dog's nonsense. Trust your feelings! You still have me! Who can resist the charm of the two sisters?"

Jiang Che chuckled and said, "Me too! We're revolutionary friends, after all."

Shen Zhen laughed through her tears. All these years, Jiang Yu and Jiang Che had been by her side. Yes! What was there to be afraid of? At worst, she could go back to the way things were, finding joy in every day she was with Yu Shu. Perhaps she could even win Yu Shu back?

Upstairs in a private room, behind a large glass wall, a woman with shoulder-length short hair stared intently at the three people on the sofa below, her thin lips pressed together. The cigarette between her fingers flickered between light and darkness. She scoffed inwardly. Just a while ago she was chasing after him every day, saying she liked him, and now she's found a new target, already embracing him. How devoted!

Zhong Li's gaze was fixed on Jiang Yu downstairs, and seeing her frolicking with Shen Zhen made her feel uneasy. Ever since she presented Jiang Yu with the award, Jiang Yu had become obsessed with her, constantly professing her love for her. However, Zhong Li had rejected Jiang Yu again this morning, and unexpectedly, she found her embracing another woman that evening.

"Ah Li, is there a problem with the contract?" Yu Shu's indifferent voice sounded from behind.

Zhong Li snapped out of her daze, her expression cold, her eyes filled with anger, and her aura grew even colder as she casually stubbed out the cigarette between her fingers in the ashtray.

The partners were so intimidated by the aura of Zhong Li and Yu Shu that they broke out in a cold sweat, not understanding what was wrong with their contract. They wondered how much money the company would lose if the cooperation failed!

The business partner chuckled awkwardly and said ingratiatingly, "President Gu, President Zhong, we can discuss any issues."

Zhong Li suppressed his irritation and said softly, "Yu Shu, the contract is generally fine, but we still need to go back and have the legal department finalize some details."

Yu Shu nodded, glanced at his watch; it was past ten o'clock. His wife and child should already be asleep. Thinking of this, a smile unconsciously crept onto Yu Shu's lips. He wanted to finish quickly so he could go home and hug his wife.

"Okay, then take the contract directly to the company to sign it tomorrow." Yu Shu tapped the table. "That's all for now, it's getting late, we should head back."

Zhong Li tugged at her sleeve in frustration. "You guys go first, I have something to do."

Yu Shu gave Chu Pei a wink, and Chu Pei immediately went out to greet the partners.

Yu Shu got up and patted Zhong Li's shoulder, "What's wrong?" Following her gaze, she looked down and saw that the little one who should have been sleeping at home was now nestled obediently in Jiang Yu's arms.

For a moment, Yu Shu froze, the smile on her face vanished, her expression turned terribly gloomy, and her dark eyes churned with unreadable emotions.
