"Mr. Gu, aren't you going to help him up?" Shen Beitang couldn't help but lean closer to Gu Zhun and ask in a low voice.
Gu Zhun glanced sideways at Shen Beitang and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Thank you, but I don't need to run for the Anshi Outstanding Youth award at the moment."
Shen Beitang: "..."
Your mouth is the hardest thing on your body. Once you fall head over heels in love with Bai Ling, you'll be so eager to have her lick your shoes clean.
But in Bai Ling's view, Shen Beitang was deliberately pulling Gu Zhun to embarrass her and make her get her new H-brand dress wet for no reason.
But so what? As long as Shen Beitang's most beloved person is still in his grasp, in the end he'll still have to kneel down and beg for her.
"Ling'er!"
When Shan Chengming entered the room, he saw Bai Ling lying on the ground in a disheveled state, covered in wine stains. It was hard to imagine how much grievance Bai Ling had suffered while he was away.
"Shen Beitang, Bai Ling is your own sister! How can you bully her like this!"
Bai Ling nestled in Shan Chengming's arms, tears welling up in her eyes. "Brother Chengming, it's not my fault, it was my own carelessness."
"Ling'er, don't try to explain for her anymore. Why are you always so kind? Shen Beitang, how long are you going to keep bothering me?"
Dan Chengming looked at Bai Ling and felt like he was about to break down. He couldn't imagine how badly Shen Beitang would have bullied this angelic girl if he hadn't met her two years ago.
Looking at the flawless acting of the seemingly innocent Bai Ling, Shen Beitang vaguely remembered that Bai Ling studied economics in the original book. When did she start minoring in stage performance...?
"Alright, Shan Chengming, since you like Bai Ling so much, I won't force you. You two can go now. The previous engagement is null and void."
"Are you serious?" Shan Chengming asked incredulously.
Shen Beitang had a strange obsession with him since childhood, and after learning that he liked Bai Ling, the obsession turned into fanaticism and madness.
“I swear in the name of the Shen family that every word I say is true.”
Shen Beitang glanced at the two people still stuck in the same spot and rolled her eyes speechlessly. Why aren't these two leaving?
Watching them perform an idol drama on set was more unbearable than taking a bath in lard. Since Shan Chengming made his choice, he had to bear the consequences...
"I've said everything I need to say. I organized this gathering today, so get out of here."
Shen Beitang had been lying in the coffin like a corpse for a day, and now all he wanted was to have a quiet meal.
Dan Chengming was quite straightforward in fulfilling his wish, and he dragged Bai Ling away without hesitation, probably even deciding which hotel to celebrate at.
...
Being in the same circle, he had heard about the Shen and Shan families' affairs. He heard that Shen Beitang's drowning was to force Shan Chengming to get a marriage certificate.
Only a fool like Shan Chengming would believe such a ridiculous claim as "the marriage is off."
Gu Zhun tilted his head subtly, wanting to hear what Shen Beitang was really thinking.
After all, a partnership between the Shen and Shan families would maximize the interests of both families, and the Gu family would be the most disadvantaged in the end.
Ugh, I regret it so much!
Gu Zhun had an expression that said he already knew; how could love for someone just disappear like that?
I should have gotten rid of Gu Zhun too.
"!!"
He was implicated? Was there something fishy going on? Gu Zhun listened even more intently, afraid of missing a single word.
[A chicken only has two legs, and Gu Zhun is going to have to give him one too; it's not worth it.]
"..."
Gu Zhun sneered and placed another chicken leg in Shen Beitang's bowl. "Miss Shen, eat more."
"Mr. Gu, I can't accept this."
Shen Beitang smiled gently, but her chopsticks were never idle.
Gu Zhun does have a good eye, at least.
With his keen eye, Gu Zhun accidentally tossed a chicken butt into Shen Beitang's bowl.
“Miss Shen, you really are… magnanimous.” Gu Zhun paused. “Just letting Shan Chengming leave like that?”
Gu Zhun's words were sarcastic, and Shen Beitang, looking at his unfathomable face, suddenly realized what he meant.
Gu Zhun is Bai Ling's biggest die-hard fan. Before, she was still tied to Shan Chengming, so he could take advantage of her.
His actions had essentially created obstacles for Gu Zhun's future pursuit of love! The villainous boss was definitely angry!
Shen Beitang reluctantly put down the chicken leg. In order to avoid being killed by the big boss in the future, she had to set a good example of love for him.
"Mr. Gu, as the saying goes, love is not about possession, but about giving someone freedom; love is not about forcing someone, but about fulfilling their needs."
Seeing that Gu Zhun was listening with great interest, Shen Beitang continued to make up stories, "So, if we love someone, we must not cause harm to her or the people around her, especially the 'innocent' people around her."
Shen Beitang emphasized the word "innocent" because in the original book, she was just a pawn in someone else's love affair.
Every time the female lead and the male lead, or the female lead and the villain, their relationship inexplicably deepens after the villain has tormented her.
"Are you done talking?" Gu Zhun asked.
Shen Beitang nodded obediently, "I'm done."
"Useless!" Gu Zhun's eyes were filled with contempt.
Having only heard about Shen Beitang's various crazy actions before, Gu Zhun thought that apart from her bad personality, she was still a woman who was crazy in love.
In retrospect, it's nothing special.
"Heh, what brilliant idea does President Gu have?" Shen Beitang asked.
Gu Zhun used a fork to firmly hold down the small octopus that was still wriggling in the sashimi plate. The fork pierced the octopus's head, and an unknown viscous liquid flowed out. Its eight legs struggled weakly in the plate.
But Gu Zhun was enjoying himself, slowly and methodically slicing the octopus's legs with his knife, without immediately severing its tentacles...
"If you like something, you must get it and hold it tightly in your hands, just like this octopus."
“If I cut off its legs, it will belong to me and can’t go anywhere else.”
Gu Zhun moved his fork away. The octopus on the plate, though a mess, was struggling to escape using its few intact tentacles...
"Deng!"
“Look, if she tries to escape from me even after her hands and feet are cut off, then I’ll destroy her completely.”
Gu Zhun's eyes were icy as he used a knife to slice the octopus in half...
The way Gu Zhun understood a life was even more efficient than chopping cabbage on the roadside, and Shen Beitang couldn't help but swallow hard.
As expected, the villain's declarations of love are always unconventional and unorthodox, blocking the path for everyone else!
"Mr. Gu, your technique is superb, a single, decisive strike." Shen Beitang clapped his hands awkwardly. "A woman who catches your eye in the future will surely live a very happy life."
She suddenly began to feel sorry for Bai Ling. If Gu Zhunga hadn't acted quickly later on, neither Bai Ling nor Shan Chengming would have escaped.
"Then do you want to be this happy woman?"
Gu Zhun slowly and methodically wiped his fingers one by one with a hot towel, his tone as if asking, "Have you eaten today?"
No, the happiness I'm talking about is the opposite!
"President Gu is handsome and wealthy, a diamond bachelor admired by countless young women."
Shen Beitang's praise was unambiguous and sincere: "I'm someone who was just dumped, I'm not worthy."
You should go and ruin other people's lives; men will only slow down my enjoyment of happiness!
Gu Zhun originally only intended to tease Shen Beitang, but he didn't expect an unexpected surprise.
Besides the Gu family, the Shen family ranks second in Anshi. If they really get married, it won't do them any harm.
Since I'm destined to find someone as a tool, I should at least find someone useful.
"If I say you deserve it, then you deserve it."
No, I'm not worthy...!
