Chapter 121 Do You Think I Care About This?
Five o'clock in the morning of the next day.
The lights in Zhou's five-star hotel were bright, and the entire banquet hall was decorated luxuriously and romantically.
Crystal chandeliers reflected brilliant light, flowers and silk decorations dotted every corner, and the air was filled with the faint scent of perfume and flowers.
Yun Ruzhu was woken up by Jiang Yan early in the morning to put on makeup.
Today is her and Zhou Yushen’s engagement party. As the protagonist, she naturally doesn’t want others to steal her limelight.
What's more, she specially invited Yun Zheng, and she must not trample her under her feet.
She sat in front of the makeup mirror, letting the makeup artist carefully sculpt her face, and occasionally looking down at her mobile phone.
Yun Ruzhu's makeup was almost finished, but she still hadn't seen Zhou Yushen.
She couldn't help but ask the servant beside her, "Where is Brother Yu Shen?"
The maid lowered her head slightly and replied cautiously, "Master Zhou is still in the room, and it seems... he hasn't gotten up yet."
Yun Ruzhu frowned, feeling a little unhappy, but quickly suppressed her emotions, "Okay, I understand."
She probably understood Zhou Yushen's personality, and he was already giving them a huge honor by agreeing to the engagement.
If anyone dared to urge him to get up now, he would not give them any face and would simply not attend the engagement party.
In the presidential suite of the hotel, Zhou Yushen had already woken up and was lazily leaning on the sofa in the room, holding a mobile phone in his hand, his eyes a little vague.
His mind was not on the engagement party at all. The reason he agreed to get engaged to Yun Ruzhu was clearly for the purpose of luring Yun Zheng out.
As soon as she appeared, he took her away.
He doesn't want the Zhou family or the Zhou Group anymore.
As long as Yun Zheng forgives him, he can give up everything and go with her, never returning to the capital.
But he didn't know whether Yun Zheng would come...
"Master, it's almost time to change your clothes." The butler reminded carefully.
Zhou Yushen raised his eyes lazily, threw his phone aside, and stood up. "Got it."
He walked slowly into the locker room and changed into a well-tailored black suit with a tie hanging loosely around his neck, looking casual and uninhibited.
He adjusted his hair in front of the mirror, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Yun Ruzhu waited in the dressing room for a long time. As the time for welcoming guests was approaching, Zhou Yushen still didn't show up.
Her mood gradually changed from initial anticipation to anxiety and even a little uneasiness.
She looked down at her phone. Time passed by minute by minute. Guests had begun to arrive one after another, but she, the heroine, was still waiting in the dressing room.
"What on earth is Brother Yu Shen doing?" Yun Ruzhu couldn't help it after all, she stood up, with a hint of suppressed anger in her tone.
She lifted her skirt, walked quickly out of the dressing room, and headed straight for Zhou Yushen's presidential suite.
She was feeling very nervous all the way, worried that Zhou Yushen would change his mind at the last minute, and also afraid that he would embarrass her at this critical moment.
Arriving at the door of the suite, Yun Ruzhu took a deep breath, raised her hand and knocked on the door, trying to keep her tone calm, "Brother Yu Shen, it's almost time, we should go to welcome the guests."
The room was silent, with no response.
Yun Ruzhu frowned and knocked on the door again, her voice rising a few degrees, "Brother Yu Shen, are you in there?"
Still no response.
She suddenly felt uneasy and opened the door without caring about etiquette.
In the room, Zhou Yushen was lazily leaning on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, looking out the window with indifferent eyes, as if he didn't hear her knocking on the door at all.
Yun Ruzhu's heart sank when she saw him like this, but she suppressed her unhappiness, walked over to him, and said softly, "Brother Yu Shen, the guests have arrived, we should leave."
Zhou Yushen then slowly turned his head and glanced at her coldly, with a hint of impatience in his tone, "What's the rush? Just let them wait."
Yun Ruzhu was choked by his attitude and was speechless for a moment, and the smile on her face became a little stiff.
She tried to remain calm and said softly, "But... today is our engagement party, and everyone is waiting to see us. If we don't go to greet the guests, I'm afraid people will think we don't take this party seriously enough."
Zhou Yushen sneered, his eyes revealing a hint of mockery, "Important? Do you think I care about these things?"
Yun Ruzhu's face turned pale instantly. She bit her lip and her voice trembled. "Brother Yu Shen, you...what do you mean? Today is our engagement day, how can you say that?"
Zhou Yushen put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up, looked down at her, his tone cold and distant without a trace of warmth.
"Yun Ruzhu, you should know that this engagement party means nothing to me. I only agreed to it to deal with the pressure from my family. As for you... don't take yourself too seriously."
Yun Ruzhu was completely devastated by his words. Her eyes instantly turned red, and her voice was choked with sobs. "Zhou Yushen, how could you do this to me? I've done so much for you, even at the cost of..."
"Not hesitating about what?" Zhou Yushen interrupted her, his eyes cold and stern, "Not hesitating to deliberately stir up a conflict between the Yun family and Yun Zheng and drive her out of the house."
Yun Ruzhu's face turned pale in an instant. She didn't expect that Zhou Yushen had already known all this.
Her lips trembled, and she wanted to explain herself, but she found herself unable to speak.
Zhou Yushen looked at her coldly, his tone devoid of warmth. "Yun Ruzhu, don't think I don't know what you've done. If you still want to maintain the superficial peace of this engagement party, then cooperate with me. Otherwise, I don't mind letting everyone know your true face."
Yun Ruzhu's body trembled slightly, and she tried hard not to let her tears fall.
She lowered her head and said in a weak voice, "I...I understand."
Zhou Yushen ignored her and turned towards the door, saying in a cold tone, "Let's go. Don't keep the guests waiting too long."
Yun Ruzhu wiped her tears, suppressed the humiliation in her heart, and followed him out of the room.
The banquet in the banquet hall has already started, but the two newlyweds have not arrived yet.
The guests were already getting a little impatient and were talking among themselves in low voices.
The elders of both families were already feeling a little embarrassed and were planning to send someone to urge them.
At this moment, Zhou Yushen and Yun Ruzhu finally appeared at the door of the banquet hall.
Zhou Yushen had a faint smile on his face, as if the indifference just now had never existed.
He took Yun Ruzhu's hand and slowly walked towards the center of the banquet hall.
In the eyes of the guests, they were a combination of handsome men and beautiful women, but in fact, Zhou Yushen was already giving her face by not pushing her away.
Yun Ruzhu also had a decent smile on her face, just to maintain her last bit of dignity.
Zhou Yushen's eyes were always wandering among the crowd, trying hard to find that familiar figure.
