Chapter 114 No one is indispensable!
Yun Ruzhu wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth and no sound came out.
Zhou Yushen looked at her with disgust and let go of her hand. Yun Ruzhu immediately collapsed on the bed, gasping for breath.
There were several obvious finger marks on her neck, and the pain made her frown.
Zhou Yushen stood up, gave her a cold look, then turned and strode towards the door.
Just as his hand touched the doorknob, Yun Ruzhu's voice trembled from behind him, "Zhou Yushen...we are now on the same page. You won't gain anything without me."
Zhou Yushen paused for a moment, but he didn't look back. He just said coldly, "Really? Then give it a try."
Zhou Yushen's hand paused on the door handle for a moment, his knuckles slightly white, as if he was suppressing some emotion.
He didn't look back, but just said that coldly, then pushed the door open without hesitation and strode out.
The door slammed shut, and the room fell into silence.
Yun Ruzhu lay on the bed, her breathing still rapid, her chest heaving violently.
Her fingers gently touched the finger marks on her neck, and when she touched the burning pain, she couldn't help but gasp.
Her eyes gradually turned from pain to coldness, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Zhou Yushen, do you think you can escape?" She murmured in a low voice, with a hint of sarcasm and determination in her voice.
She knew that Zhou Yushen would not easily break off the engagement.
The entanglement between the two families has long been deep-rooted, and neither can do without the other.
No matter how cold and resolute he seemed at the moment, she knew that he had no choice but to marry her.
Yun Ruzhu slowly sat up from the bed, her fingers tightly gripping the sheets, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Her eyes fell on a corner of the room, as if she was thinking about something.
After a moment, she stood up, walked to the dressing table, picked up her cell phone and dialed a number.
The call was quickly connected, and a deep male voice came from the other end, "Miss Yun, what can I do for you?"
Yun Ruzhu's voice was calm and firm, with a hint of unquestionable authority. "Help me keep an eye on Zhou Yushen's movements. Remember not to alert him. It would be best to check if he has contacted Yun Zheng recently."
"Understood." The other party responded briefly and hung up the phone.
Yun Ruzhu put down her phone and looked at herself in the mirror.
The finger marks on her neck were still clearly visible, as if reminding her of the humiliation she had just suffered.
Her eyes gradually became colder, but the smile on her lips became more intense.
"Zhou Yushen, the game between us has just begun."
At the same time, Zhou Yushen walked out of the hotel, and the night wind blew across his face, bringing a hint of coolness.
Without any pause, he walked straight towards the black car parked on the side of the road.
He opened the car door and got into the driver's seat, gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning white from the exertion.
Yun Ruzhu's words kept echoing in his mind. The sentence "We are grasshoppers on the same rope" was like a thorn, deeply piercing his heart.
He knew Yun Ruzhu was right. The conflict of interests between them had long been inseparable, and any attempt by either side to withdraw would cost a heavy price.
But he didn't want to be restrained by them anymore, and didn't want to be manipulated by them anymore.
Zhou Yushen's eyes gradually became cold. He started the car, the low roar of the engine echoed in the night, and his fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel, as if he was thinking about something.
He will definitely find Yun Zheng, and she will definitely not let go of the relationship between them that has lasted for more than ten years so easily.
But it was obvious that Zhou Yushen was too confident.
He forgot that no one in this world is indispensable to anyone else!
——
Country A, large flat in the city center.
Yun Zheng and Fu Linghe had just finished dinner and were walking home.
Just now, Fu Linghe left without finishing his work in order to accompany Yun Zheng out for dinner.
Now as soon as he got home, he went straight to the study to finish the finishing work he had just done.
Yun Zheng sat on the sofa bored, scrolling through her phone comfortably.
Suddenly, a striking headline caught my eye #Zhou Group Falls into Serious Economic Crisis#
Yun Zheng's fingers slid lightly across the screen of her mobile phone, her eyes fixed on the news about the crisis of Zhou Group.
The title is eye-catching, the content is detailed, and even includes a photo of Zhou Yushen at the press conference.
He no longer looks as gentle as before in the photo. His face is stern, and there is a hint of fatigue between his brows.
Her heart trembled slightly, and her fingers stopped unconsciously.
Although she had left Zhou Yushen, she still felt a complicated emotion in her heart when she saw his name and photo.
Those past memories came flooding back like a tide, drowning her thoughts.
"What's wrong?" Fu Linghe's voice came from the study door, interrupting her trance.
Yun Zheng raised her head and saw Fu Linghe leaning against the door, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, looking at her gently.
She quickly put her phone away and forced a smile, "Nothing, just saw some news."
Fu Linghe walked up to her, handed the teacup to her, and sat down beside her.
His eyes swept over her phone screen, and even though she had locked it, he was still keenly aware of her emotional fluctuations.
"Is it about Zhou Yushen?" he asked softly, without any displeasure in his tone, only a hint of concern and a barely perceptible trace of jealousy.
Yun Zheng was silent for a moment and finally nodded.
She knew she couldn't hide it from Fu Linghe, and she didn't want to hide it from him.
"The Zhou Group has been in some trouble recently. The news said that their capital chain has problems and their stock price has plummeted."
Her voice was very soft, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
Fu Linghe did not respond immediately, but just looked at her quietly, waiting for her to continue.
Yun Zheng lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the edge of the teacup. Her voice was a little vague, "I just happened to see it and took a quick look..."
Fu Linghe gently held her hand, and the warm touch made her feel a little more at ease.
"Yeah." His voice was low and gentle. "Zheng Zheng, I didn't marry you to restrict your freedom. You can see whatever you want and go wherever you want."
"You have your own private space, and I won't interfere." Fu Linghe's gentle tone was like the warm sunshine in spring, gradually covering the softest part of her heart.
"I just don't want the people and things from the past to trouble you or make you unhappy." Fu Linghe's gentle expression was full of concern.
Yun Zheng met the man's gaze and nodded slightly.
"However," Fu Linghe changed the subject, his tone carrying a hint of seriousness, "I'm afraid the crisis facing the Zhou Group is not that simple."
Yun Zheng was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"
