Chapter 22: It's all thanks to you? Why pretend to be a savior?
Lu Zhenzhu even despises herself.
How desperate is she for a man that she would willingly be a substitute and endure all kinds of grievances?
"Aren't all the difficulties I'm facing now all because of you?" Her eyes were full of ridicule.
"You are the creator of the predicament, don't act like you are the savior."
She turned her face away coldly and looked outside, "Gu Huai, you really make me sick."
Gu Huai's face was as gloomy as water, and the room was plunged into a low pressure.
Jiang Sesu's phone call broke the silence in the carriage.
Gu Huai called out to the woman who ignored him with a blank face and answered the phone, "Sese, why are you calling so late?"
Jiang Sesu had already learned what happened at the party from Li Zhi. She suppressed her anger and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Ah Huai, I want to treat you to dinner at home on Friday. I called you in advance and told you to set aside your time on Friday. Invite your sister as well. I have prepared a gift for her. I hope we can finally put aside our differences."
Gu Huai frowned, inexplicably reluctant to agree.
His silence made Jiang Sesu angry, and her voice suddenly dropped. "Ahuai, I have already made an appointment for surgery next Tuesday. I want to resolve the misunderstanding between my sister and me before I lose the child. Can't you promise me this?"
"I've already decided to abort the baby, what are you still worried about?"
Gu Huai pursed his lips. He felt guilty towards Sese about the child's matter, so he agreed.
When he hung up the phone and was about to tell Lu Zhenzhu, the woman had put on headphones and fell asleep leaning against the car window.
She leaned her whole body against the car door, leaving enough space between them for another person to sit.
His face darkened again. Gu Huai originally wanted to pull her over, but seeing her peaceful sleeping face, he moved his butt next to her and gently placed the woman's head in his arms.
The next day, Yue Jie asked Lu Zhenzhu out.
She arrived at the barbecue restaurant and found Zhong Xin there.
Zhong Xin apologized to her for what happened yesterday, and Yue Jie looked at her with guilt.
"Junior, I'm sorry I couldn't help you yesterday."
"This has nothing to do with you." Lu Zhenzhu shook her head.
Zhong Xin breathed a sigh of relief and explained to her that he had blocked and deleted her. It was his girlfriend who did it and he had no idea about it. He only found out about it after they broke up.
I felt embarrassed to add her at that time.
"It's all misunderstandings, it's okay." Lu Zhenzhu still had a faint smile on her face.
Seeing that she really didn't take it to heart, Zhong Xin let go of his worries. In the middle of the conversation, he received a phone call and left in a hurry.
There were only two people left in the barbecue restaurant, and Yue Jie directly exposed her marriage with Gu Huai.
"Schoolgirl, Li Zhi didn't say anything nonsense about your marriage to Mr. Gu. It's true, right?"
Lu Zhenzhu bit the meat and waited until she swallowed it before asking, "Senior is really concerned about the relationship between him and me? This is a private matter between him and me."
Yue Jie explained anxiously, "Don't think too much. The teacher is also my academic mentor. I have always treated you as my younger sister. Zhenzhu, I don't want you to suffer any grievances."
"Last night, he seemed to be venting his anger for you, but it made Li Zhi hate you. He clearly had bad intentions. If he really cared about you, he wouldn't do something like that. The teacher is still here and doesn't want to see you compromise."
Lu Zhenzhu put down her chopsticks and repeated, "This is a private matter between him and me, so please stop making wild guesses."
Yue Jie wanted to say something but stopped himself. Seeing that she was unhappy, he could only swallow the rest of his words.
She lost her mood to eat, and they soon parted ways. However, Yue Jie would look for her every day and ask her out for dinner.
He asked her out again on Thursday, and this time Lu Zhenzhu did not refuse and wanted to go and explain things to him.
Yue Jie took her to a hot pot restaurant that she was familiar with. She always ate hot pot there in college. The taste was good and the price was not expensive, making it very suitable for students.
The two of them wanted a seat by the window. There were not many customers in the store at the moment, so it was not noisy.
Lu Zhenzhu admired the small garden outside.
This is the sky garden designed by the boss. Every flower is in full bloom, and the fragrance of flowers overflows into the hot pot restaurant.
The words in the garden change with the seasons, and there are never any flowers in the fields. It is also a small and famous check-in spot.
"Zhenzhu, do you like flowers?" Yue Jie suddenly asked when he saw her looking at them seriously.
His question was a bit confusing.
“Beautiful things are always attractive.”
A delivery man called out the last digit of a cell phone number at the door of the hot pot restaurant. Yue Jie stood up, and when he came back, he had a bouquet of beautiful flowers in his hand.
The flowers are very bright and summery.
The wrapping paper used is red, light blue and yellow respectively, and the flowers inside are also of these three colors, which match the wrapping paper and are bright and beautiful.
Yue Jie handed the flower to her with both hands, "Zhenzhu, this is for you."
Lu Zhenzhu didn't answer. "Senior, I'm already married. It's inappropriate for an unmarried man to give a bouquet of flowers to a married woman."
He didn't retract his hand, still holding it in the air, "What's inappropriate? Just give it to me if you want to. Zhenzhu, I just want to make you happy with this bouquet of flowers. Don't think too much about it."
How can I not think too much?
Lu Zhenzhu saw that some people around were looking at them, and she frowned because she didn't want to be watched.
"Put the flowers on the table first."
Yue Jie didn't listen, "Go on."
This is asking too much.
She already said it was inappropriate.
Lu Zhenzhu was displeased, "If you like to hold it up, then go ahead. I told you it's inappropriate."
She was about to leave, and Yue Jie panicked and hurriedly grabbed her hand, "Zhenzhu, I'll put it on the table, I'll put it on right away, don't leave, I still have something to tell you."
When Lu Zhenzhu saw him put it down, she sat back down, and the onlookers also looked away.
"What do you want to say?" She said in a slightly colder tone.
Her attitude changed obviously. Yue Jie smiled bitterly, "Azhu, are you really unwilling to divorce Gu Huai?"
"If you want to divorce him, I'll wait for you. Once you divorce him, I'll officially pursue you. I won't despise you..."
Lu Zhenzhu interrupted him before he could finish his words.
"Have I ever given you the illusion that I have feelings for you?"
Yue Jie remained silent, only gazing at her lovingly, "Zhenzhu, I've liked you for a long time. Although I'm not as powerful as Gu Huai, nor as rich as him, I will treat you well all my life."
Lu Zhenzhu was speechless and choked up, "Senior, I don't have any feelings for you. I don't like you."
Yue Jie looked at her sadly, and smiled bitterly for a long time. "I knew you would reject me, but if I tell you the love hidden in my heart, I can completely let it go."
He breathed a sigh of relief. "To be honest, my family arranged a blind date for me, but my heart wasn't ready yet. It wouldn't be fair to girls. Now I'm ready."
"Junior, can I have a hug?" He pleaded, and whispered softly, "Today is my birthday, and this is my birthday wish. You won't refuse me, right?"
Lu Zhenzhu looked at him, not knowing what he was thinking, and nodded in agreement, which was unusual for her.
"OK."
