Chapter 8 Heartache and Jealousy

Gu's Group.

When Yu Shu received Zhang Ma's message, a slight smile appeared on her indifferent face. She thought to herself that Zhang Ma still had some conscience and knew how to care for her.

Chu Pei, who was reporting on his work, got goosebumps. President Gu's smile was a little creepy!

"Um... Mr. Gu, the old man called this morning to say that Miss Chu is back and wants to stay at your place for now." Before Chu Pei could finish speaking, the sound of high heels clicking could be heard from outside.

Chu Chu is Yu Shu's cousin. She has been by her side while she was abroad and knows everything that happened to her over the past four years. She is very outgoing and has a flirtatious personality.

"Sister Shu, Grandpa told me to come back and make sure you eat on time and take your medicine on time!"

A sweet, delicate voice rang out, and Chu Chu, with long curly hair, fiery red lips, and a hot figure, appeared at the office door.

Chu Pei paused for a moment, lowered his eyes, and wanted to leave the office quickly. He was naturally intimidated by such strikingly beautiful women.

Chu Chu stretched out her long legs, grabbed his tie at the doorway, shoved him against the wall, and pressed herself against him, saying flirtatiously, "Handsome, let's add each other on WeChat!"

Chu Pei tensed up, feeling awkward at the girl's sudden approach. A flash of disgust crossed his deep eyes, and he forced a dry laugh, saying, "Miss Chu, please have some self-respect."

"Chuchu, come here! Stop fooling around!" Yu Shu said in a cold voice.

Chu Chu glanced at Yu Shu, then reluctantly released Chu Pei. "Tch~ How boring!"

"Mr. Gu, I'll be going now." Chu Pei said goodbye and immediately left.

Chu Chu, carrying a small handbag, swayed her hips as she sat on Yu Shu's desk, her eyes boldly scanning her.

Deep, alluring eyes, a high, straight nose, beautiful thin lips, long legs, and a slender waist—he's practically the epitome of a handsome tomboy. It's just a shame this stunning beauty is her cousin! Oh dear! What a tragedy!

Chu Chu leaned closer to Yu Shu with a hint of regret, "Sister Shu, if only you weren't my sister! I would definitely date you!"

Yu Shu's eyes flickered slightly, a cold glint in them. She said with a half-smile, "If I weren't your sister, guess where you would be right now? Believe me or not, I'd throw you out."

Chu Chu raised her hands, "No, no, no, I believe you, I believe you! Grandpa gave me two tasks this time. First, to make sure you eat properly and take your medicine properly. Second, to make sure you don't fall for that scumbag woman's tricks again!"

Yu Shu pursed her lips, her eyes filled with anger, and said coldly, "If you say one more word, you can leave now."

She didn't need any medicine; Shen Zhen was her medicine. No matter what happened to Shen Zhen, she wanted her by her side and wouldn't allow anyone else to say a word against her, not even her own family.

Chu Chu was intimidated by her aura, shrank back, and muttered softly, "Grandpa was right, you really can't forget that scumbag woman!"

Yu Shu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, word by word, "Chu! Chu!"

Chu Chu put her hands on her shoulders and pleaded, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything, Sister Shu, don't be angry! I'll treat you to dinner tonight, how about that?"

Yu Shu leaned back in her chair, patted her hand, and said calmly, "Okay."

"By the way, I'll be staying at your place for the next few days!"

"No way!" Yu Shu refused without even thinking.

"Gu Yushu! If you keep this up, I'll tell Grandpa! Are you keeping a mistress? Why won't you let me stay here!" Chu Chu moved closer to Yushu, the two of them almost touching, scrutinizing Yushu's face, trying to find some flaw.

As if remembering something, Yu Shu smiled gently, her eyes softening, and chuckled softly, "Yes, there is indeed a troublesome little wildcat at home."

...

Shen Zhen arrived at Gu's with a food box. The receptionist, as if she had been informed in advance, led her to the private elevator.

"The president is on the twelfth floor. You can go up directly."

Shen Zhen nodded politely. As the elevator continued to ascend, the thought of seeing her soon filled her with excitement.

Shen Zhen tiptoed to the office door, wanting to surprise Gu Yushu. The office door was ajar, and she could vaguely see Gu Yushu lounging lazily in her chair with a smile on her lips, while a woman with delicate features and a charming appearance sat on the desk in front of her. The woman's hips were encased in a short skirt, making her extremely alluring. The two were very close, and the woman said something. Gu Yushu's smile deepened, and she nodded with tender eyes.

Yu Shu's smile stung Shen Zhen's eyes. Since their reunion, Yu Shu had never smiled so freely. For a moment, Shen Zhen's breath seemed to stop, her hand gripping the food box tightening as if needles were pricking her heart, a painful, unbearable ache. Who was this? What was their relationship?

Shen Zhen felt a pang of heartache and forced herself not to think about it. What right did she have to be jealous?

Shen Zhen silently withdrew, carrying the food box, and dejectedly hid in the bathroom. The person in the mirror was dressed plainly, with an average figure, incomparable to the person Yu Shu had in front of her. Shen Zhen gave a bitter smile. Yu Shu had so many choices now, she'd probably get tired of them soon, wouldn't she? She would stay by her side for a while, at least until Yu Shu got tired of them, so she could leave with dignity. No longer burdened by guilt, no longer burdened by longing.

...

"President, a Miss Shen just came up to see you." The receptionist immediately called Shu after seeing Shen Zhen go up.

"You can leave now." Yu Shuwen gave Chu Chu a curt dismissal and got up to go outside to greet Shen Zhen.

...

Suppressing her surging jealousy, Shen Zhen composed herself and picked up the food box, heading back towards the door. Before she even reached the entrance, she saw Yu Shu emerge and instinctively glanced behind her.

Yu Shu took the food box from Shen Zhen and pulled her towards the office.

Chu Chu flicked her long hair across her chest, clicked her tongue, and said sweetly, "Sister Shu, you're asking them to leave because someone else has come!"

Shen Zhen felt like she had been caught red-handed by the wife. She lowered her head, feeling uneasy and afraid that the beautiful woman would suddenly rush over and beat her up.

Shen Zhen hurriedly replied, "Um... I'm the nutrition expert that President Gu recently hired."

Chu Chu's eyes lit up immediately. Interesting! What kind of new game is this? Cosplay? Chu Chu instantly got into character and said ambiguously, "A nutrition expert! I really need one! Can we add each other on WeChat?"

Yu Shu glanced at Chu Chu with displeasure and said coldly, "You can go back now."

Chu Chu glared at Yu Shu, "Tch~ You stingy guy! Fine, I'm leaving, but don't forget to have dinner together tonight!" With that, Chu Chu swayed her slender waist and walked away.

Yu Shu nodded lightly, "Go quickly."

Shen Zhen watched their interaction from the side, her heart aching as if soaked in vinegar. They were going to have dinner together that night; how far had their relationship progressed? What would they do after dinner?

Shen Zhen even felt a little ashamed. She had only been a passing fancy to Yu Shu, so why was she so concerned about whether Yu Shu had someone else? Even if Yu Shu had cared about her four years ago, how could he possibly have remained unchanged and waited for her all these years? She had truly lost her mind. She had come to bring him food as soon as Zhang Ma mentioned it that morning; Yu Shu probably didn't even need it…
