Chapter 59 The doctor said to restrain yourself

Zhong Li took out her treasured red wine and poured a little for everyone, but when it came to Jiang Yu, she replaced it with juice.

Zhong Li said softly, "Don't drink tonight, drive home."

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then met Zhong Li's deep eyes, her heart pounding uncontrollably. "I understand." What did Zhong Li mean? Go home? Did he mean to take her home or go home with her?

Zhong Li leaned lazily against the table and said with a faint smile, "Everyone, let's drink this to welcome Yu Shu."

Gu Yushu pressed down on Shen Zhen's hand, which was reaching for the wine, and gently squeezed it. He looked at her intently, and whispered in her ear with a faint smile, "Zhenzhen, don't drink. The doctor said you should pay attention to your diet."

"Boom!" The family doctor's words exploded in his mind. He clearly said that he should restrain himself in that area and pay attention to his diet, but how did it become "pay attention to his diet" when it came to Yu Shu!

Shen Zhen's face turned bright red, revealing her girlish side. She awkwardly picked up the juice next to her, took a sip, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I won't drink it. You shouldn't drink it either, you need to take care of your stomach."

Gu Yushu chuckled softly and nodded. "Yes, Zhenzhen is right, I won't drink." Her tone was indulgent and gentle.

Jiang Che immediately slammed his hand on the table, making a loud bang. "Help! You guys are bullying single people like this! Are you trying to kill us?"

Chu Chu's eyes were filled with melancholy as she poured herself another glass, a bitter taste rising in her throat. She knew this would be the outcome, yet she couldn't help but come to see just how much they loved each other.

Jiang Rou took everything in, feeling a pang of sympathy for Chu Chu. From the moment she entered, Shen Zhen had only greeted her politely, her eyes fixed solely on Gu Yushu. Actually, she thought Chu Chu was better suited to big, wavy curls, which would make her look both glamorous and unrestrained.

Jiang Rou sighed inwardly, "Ah, people! What they can't have is always the best. How could Chu Chu possibly love someone else?"

At the dinner table, Jiang Che asked, seemingly casually, "President Gu, um... when is Chu Pei coming back?"

Jiang Yu immediately drew out her voice, "Oh~", and turned to echo, "President Gu~ When is Chu Pei coming back? I miss him so much!"

Gu Yushu chuckled, "Just in the next few days, I still have some things to take care of over there, then I'll be back."

Jiang Che blinked, a faint pink tinge appearing behind his ears. He nudged Chen Zhen, "Zhenzhen, tell me the truth, shouldn't Xiao Yu'er be hit?"

Shen Zhen nodded seriously, thinking about how Yu Shu had punished her, "She definitely deserved it!"

Jiang Yu flicked her hair, deliberately lifted Shen Zhen's chin, and said in a cheeky tone, "How are you planning to punish me, sister? Will '18+' make you vent your anger?"

Jiang Yu looked both funny and cute. Chen Zhen almost spat out her juice, laughing so hard she couldn't catch her breath. This little Yu'er is such a treasure!

After dinner, Jiang Rou went home first because of the school's curfew. Zhong Li insisted on inviting everyone to sit at Zuo Se, ostensibly to experience the lively atmosphere.

As Zhong Li spoke, she stared intently at Jiang Yu, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Jiang Yu, sitting to the side, felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She didn't want to go with Zhong Li at all, fearing that she would end up sleeping with Zhong Li again tonight.

But Zhong Li didn't give her a chance to refuse, and shoved her into the car. Before she could even protest, Zhong Li rubbed her temples and leaned wearily on Jiang Yu's shoulder, saying in a low voice, "Don't move, let me lean on you for a while."

This was the first time Jiang Yu had ever seen Zhong Li so vulnerable. Usually, she was always lazy and carefree, never showing any signs of fatigue.

Jiang Yu froze, too afraid to move. She caught a glimpse of the woman's slightly pale lips out of the corner of her eye, and her heart clenched. She had only one thought in her mind: to let her rest a little longer.

After a while, Jiang Yu coughed twice and asked softly, "Are you very tired?"

Zhong Li closed her eyes and nodded pitifully, "Yes, Yu Shu is finally back. The company has been too busy."

Jiang Yu felt a pang of tenderness and secretly moved closer to Zhong Li to make her more comfortable. "Then... shall we go back directly?"

Zhong Li's lips curled up where Jiang Yu couldn't see. The little one still had a conscience. She reached out and twisted her long hair into Jiang Yu's, slowly making circles, and said teasingly, "I also need to study the performances that little Yu'er likes to watch, so we can discuss them together."

Zhong Li, with her malicious intent, made their discussion sound extremely ambiguous. Jiang Yu pouted, not wanting to pay her any attention. This person was always so irresponsible, her mind filled with things unsuitable for children. She gave up!

...

Once inside the private room, Chu Chu, who was drunk, obediently fell asleep in the corner. She didn't want to be an audience member for Shen Zhen and Sister Shu.

Shen Zhen sat in the best spot with a view of the lively dance floor below. To be honest, she didn't like coming to such occasions; she always felt flustered when there were too many people.

Yu Shu quietly took her hand under the table, their fingers intertwined, and said with a faint smile, "If you don't like it, we can sit for a while and then go back."

Shen Zhen nodded; Yu Shu always took good care of her feelings.

A moment later, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Yang Yao, with exquisite makeup, held a wine glass and waved it at Yu Shu, "President Gu, my father recently visited your grandfather, and the old man said he wants to come back to China to see you soon."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of panic crossed Shen Zhen's eyes. She vividly remembered the old man's stern and disgusted gaze, and how she had taken the money but was now with Yu Shu. Shen Zhen couldn't imagine how much the old man must hate her; he was Yu Shu's grandfather. Could they truly be together without any guilt?

Yang Yao turned to Shen Zhen and said sarcastically, "Miss Shen, you've got some skills! Zhao Jingjing will never be able to dance again. You not only helped your best friend get rid of a competitor, but also a love rival. You're a role model for us all!"

Gu Yushu tightened his grip on Chen Zhen, his face so somber it could drip water, and said calmly, "I think Uncle Yang and Miss Yang should focus more on their business. Gu's Group has already secured those regular projects for the Yang family. The Yang family's market share is decreasing, and it's only a matter of time before they withdraw from City A. I wonder if they can still support Miss Yang's extravagant lifestyle in the future?"

After what happened to Zhenzhen's parents, Yushu had been suppressing Yang Shi, wanting to teach them a lesson. Unexpectedly, the father and daughter continued to do as they pleased, even daring to complain to their grandfather—they were courting death!

Yang Yao was stunned. Her father had told her before that she must get involved in the marriage alliance with the Gu family, otherwise the Yang family would not be able to survive for long. It turned out that it was all true.

Yang Yao had only intended to make her presence known when she heard Gu Yushu was coming, but she hadn't expected this outcome. No, the Yang family is an old business; they won't collapse so easily. As long as Old Master Gu returns, and the marriage is arranged, everything will be fine.

Chu Chu woke up at some point, staggered, and splashed a glass of wine on Yang Yao, drunkenly saying, "Make way, a good dog doesn't block the road!"
