Chapter 28 Her book is the most beautiful person in the world

Jiang Yu was a little annoyed. What was wrong with this person? He was never going to stop! But she still patiently said, "Miss, there should be a proper order of arrival, right?"

The shop assistant gently tugged at Shen Zhen and Jiang Yu's sleeves, smiling as she tried to smooth things over, saying, "How about we look at some other clothes?"

The shop assistant then leaned closer to the three of them and whispered, "This is the daughter of the Yang family. Her family owns shares in this shopping mall. It's best not to argue with her."

Yang Yao, smug and self-satisfied, raised her chin at Shen Zhen and snorted. She despised these kinds of sycophantic girls who relied on their looks to curry favor with the powerful. "Disgusting!" she thought.

"Oh? Yang Yao?" Chu Chu let out a soft laugh.

Yang Yao thought Chu Chu was afraid of her, so she raised her head, pointed at the clothes, and said, "Hurry up and let me try this one on!"

With a slight smile, Chu Chu took the clothes from the shop assistant and said unhurriedly, "Sorry, I've never heard of Yang's or Niu's. We don't need to try them on, just wrap them up."

Shen Zhen tugged at Chu Chu, but Chu Chu remained unmoved. "Besides... our Zhenzhen is 1.68 meters tall, and you..."

Chu Chu looked Yang Yao up and down and continued, "I don't know if you're even 1.6 meters tall? I'm afraid you really can't wear that."

Chu Chu pulled Shen Zhen and Jiang Yu and walked towards the cashier without looking back. The shop assistant apologized to Yang Yao, saying, "Miss Yang, I'm so sorry, we can look at other clothes."

This Ms. Yang has a terrible temper. She seems very upright and straightforward, but she actually looks down on people. Any shop assistant with a bit of looks is subjected to her veiled criticism and attacks, as if they're trying to climb the social ladder. It's rare to see her get the short end of the stick, and not a single shop assistant comes to her aid.

Yang Yao stomped her foot angrily, glared at the three people's backs, pulled her friend aside, and snorted, "I don't care about the tattered clothes worn by rotten people!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Chu frowned slightly, grabbed Yang Yao's arm, and said coldly, "Who did you call a scumbag? Apologize!"

Yang Yao tried to break free from Chu Chu's grasp, but Chu Chu's strength was immense, and she couldn't break free at all. With her neck stiff, she shouted, "What's it to you? Let go!"

With clear eyes, Shen Zhen said to Yang Yao neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Miss Yang, you use the name of being straightforward to actually speak recklessly and trample on other people's self-esteem. In my opinion, you are not much more noble than a gold digger. At least the gold digger is sincere."

Yang Yao's face flushed red with anger. "You! What right do you have to lecture me?"

Shen Zhen took a step back, shrugged, and laughed, "Probably because... there are more of us?"

Jiang Yu took Chu Chu's arm and glanced at Yang Yao. "Let's go. Don't waste your breath on this kind of person. It'll only lower your status."

After the three walked away, the girl next to Yang Yao whispered, "Yao Yao, don't bother with those nouveau riche. Let's go pick out some clothes. The head of the Gu family will be there tonight. Haven't you always wanted to find a chance to get closer to her?"

Yang Yao pinched the girl's arm hard. "Sun Xiao, you're so annoying! Do I need you to remind me? You didn't say a word just now, all you know is 'don't take it to heart'! What good are you!"

Sun Xiao's eyes welled with tears, but she dared not cry, silently enduring them. She was Yang Yao's follower. Yang Yao looked down on gold diggers, but wasn't she herself one?

...

Evening, Carlton Hotel.

Shen Zhen opened the car door, and the hotel's crystal chandelier made her squint.

Chu Chu walked to Shen Zhen's side, looking down at the woman beside her. A black dress hugged her slender waist, so delicate it could be encircled by a single hand; her long, ink-black hair cascaded down her back, making her appear like a fairy descended to earth. Her snow-white swan neck was alluring, sure to be sexy and graceful when aroused.

At that moment, Chu Chu clearly felt her heart pounding faster and faster, and instinctively tried to hold her breath. She clenched her fists to force herself to calm down, bent her arm and stretched it out in front of Chen Zhen, secretly hoping that she would take her arm and lead her inside.

Shen Zhen smiled and shook her head, then leaned close to Chu Chu's ear and whispered, "Chu Chu, this isn't appropriate. Let's go inside quickly."

Chu Chu concealed her disappointment. The fragrance she smelled vanished in an instant. She awkwardly withdrew her hand and beckoned to Jiang Yu, "Little Yu'er, hurry up, let's go in together."

Jiang Yu wore a red floor-length dress, her shoulders slightly exposed, her figure swaying gracefully, sexy and alluring, but it was not very convenient for her to walk.

Shen Zhen turned around and helped her hold up her dress as they walked inside, sincerely exclaiming, "Xiao Yu'er, you must be the most beautiful dancer tonight."

Jiang Yu waved her hand, "Zhenzhen, please remember, beautiful women only hang out with other beautiful women, so don't underestimate yourself!"

Shen Zhen chuckled and followed the two inside, completely unaware that Chu Chu was leading them through the VIP elevator, where two people were already standing.

Yu Shu immediately spotted Shen Zhen walking with her head down behind her, and Chu Chu glancing back every now and then. Yu Shu's beautiful brows furrowed slightly. When did Chu Chu become so concerned about Zhen Zhen?

When Zhong Li saw Jiang Yu, her eyes flashed with amazement. The off-shoulder dress showed off her beautiful figure. Zhong Li even wanted to take off her coat to cover her snow-white shoulders, not wanting others to see them...

Jiang Yu looked up, their eyes met, she paused for a moment, hummed, and then calmly lifted her skirt and walked into the elevator, as proud as a princess.

A smile appeared in Zhong Li's eyes. This girl really holds a grudge. He quietly made room for her to come in.

Unexpectedly, when entering the elevator, Shen Zhen tripped over Jiang Yu's long dress and fell forward at an angle. She subconsciously closed her eyes and silently thought, "Oh no, oh no, before Yu Shu can see my beautiful self, I'm going to fall flat on my face."

A pair of hands held her tightly around the waist, and she fell into a familiar embrace. Her chin rested on the soft fabric, and a cool, refreshing fragrance filled her nostrils. Shen Zhen looked up and met a pair of dark eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, and the heat from the embrace made her tremble even through her clothes.

Yu Shu glanced at Chu Chu, who had withdrawn her hand, seemingly unintentionally, but her gaze was full of pressure.

Yu Shu naturally wrapped her arms around Shen Zhen's waist, pulling her into his embrace. He lowered his head and said expressionlessly, "It's been over a month since we last met, and you've even learned to throw yourself into my arms?"

Shen Zhen's face turned bright red. With so many people around, what was A-Shu saying? Clutching the corner of her clothes, he obediently retreated to the corner, lowered his head, and murmured, "No... it wasn't on purpose."

Yu Shu ignored her and simply put one hand in her pocket, looking ahead and casually watching the elevator numbers jump up.

Shen Zhen stood there dumbfounded, her heart pounding fiercely. She secretly glanced at Yu Shu's profile. A month had passed, and her longing had grown exponentially. The soft light falling on Yu Shu's eyes couldn't warm her cold demeanor; she was exceptionally radiant. Shen Zhen's lips curved into a smile, and she couldn't help but think of her Yu Shu—she must be the most beautiful person in the world.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Yu Shu stepped out first. Shen Zhen hurriedly said, "Chu Chu, help Xiao Yu'er with her dress," and chased after Yu Shu.

At the entrance of the banquet, Shen Zhen grabbed Yu Shu's white suit jacket, and Yu Shu looked down at her, puzzled.

Shen Zhen moved her lips, about to speak, when she saw her own timid self reflected in Yu Shu's deep eyes. She realized with some despair that Yu Shu's eyes no longer held the warmth and affection of the past, but rather the cold indifference of their first meeting.

Shen Zhen's breath hitched, and she mustered her courage to ask, "A-Shu, do you have time tonight? I'd like to talk to you..."
