Volume 1 Chapter 23 A New Look
Zhu Sheng wanted to shake off his hand, but hesitated when he met Gu Chiye's eyes.
Faced with such a sincere look, she couldn't think of a reason to refuse, especially since Gu Chiye had just helped her.
It was this moment of hesitation that made Zhu Sheng miss the best opportunity to refuse.
Just like that, she was dragged away by Gu Chiye in a daze.
The two of them left Zhu's house, got into a Phantom Rolls-Royce, and sped all the way.
It was late autumn at that time, and worried that Zhu Sheng would catch a cold wearing wet clothes, Gu Chiye carefully turned on the heater in the car.
This was the first time the two of them were in such a closed space, and Zhu Sheng didn't know what to say.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, she silently recalled what happened during this period of time.
Although their relationship was not particularly close, Zhu Sheng could feel that Gu Chiye was an upright man.
Apart from disliking the original owner, he has hardly done anything particularly bad.
Even in the show, when faced with difficulties from others, he would help others instead of hurting them, and he managed to get himself out of trouble several times.
Just now, from the perspective of interests, it is more profitable to give face to the Zhu family than to help her.
However, Gu Chiye was the first to stand up and speak for Zhu Sheng, stopping Zhu's father from attacking.
Overall, Gu Chiye is a nice person.
Maybe, next time I can try to get along with him normally?
She turned her head and glanced at Gu Chiye who was driving.
Gu Chiye noticed Zhu Sheng's gaze and said calmly, "We're almost there."
He drove into a large shopping mall.
Soon, a woman who looked like a manager appeared and bowed to Gu Chiye.
"Boss Gu, what can I do for you?"
"Find her something to wear."
Zhu Sheng then realized that Gu Chiye brought her here to buy clothes.
"I know you don't want anything from that house, so I'm taking you out. This is a mall owned by the Gu Group, so you don't have to worry about the price."
Zhu Sheng was about to refuse, but then he remembered that the most important task of the day had not been completed.
"Okay, but I will definitely pay you back."
When the female manager heard that Zhu Sheng was going to attend a banquet, she enthusiastically took her to the high-end formal wear area.
Seeing the expensive price tag, Zhu Sheng felt a little worried and turned around to go to the leisure and sports area of the mall.
To be honest, the money that Gu Chiye gave me before the divorce was quite considerable.
But in Zhu Sheng's consumption view, spending so much money on a piece of clothing is still a bit extravagant.
Just as she was about to leave, the considerate female manager gave her some advice.
"Ms. Zhu, I just heard from Mr. Gu about your situation. We also provide dress rentals. The price is as follows."
Zhu Sheng took a look and found it acceptable compared to before, so he stayed.
Gu Chiye sat outside, watching Zhu Sheng busying in and out of the fitting room.
He felt a strange fluttering inside.
Even when they got married that year, he was too lazy to accompany Zhu Sheng to try on wedding dresses.
This woman, like a beautiful doll, an expensive commodity, is bound by a contract and has to be placed somewhere.
Now, their contract is about to expire.
He could have happily gotten rid of this trouble, but he discovered that this familiar yet strange woman was bursting with a vitality he had never seen before.
Facing the completely different Zhu Sheng after the divorce, Gu Chiye couldn't help but reflect.
Perhaps, it was this marriage that restrained Zhu Sheng's nature.
Thinking of this, he felt even more guilty.
He didn't know when it started, but every time someone gave Zhu Sheng something difficult, his body would automatically move and he couldn't help but help before he could react.
Maybe, after some time, Zhu Sheng will completely get rid of the troubles in this marriage, and then he can let it go.
Gu Chiye carefully analyzed himself and finally found a reasonable explanation for his abnormal behavior during this period.
At this time, Zhu Sheng was sweating profusely in the fitting room.
She never knew that changing clothes was such a physically demanding task.
Either the hem of the skirt is too big to make it inconvenient to walk, or the chest is too low to expose yourself when walking around.
Finally, she chose a black haute couture wide suit, paired with a pearl necklace, earrings and red-bottomed high heels, looking domineering and elegant.
The most important thing is convenience of movement. She did not forget that she still has a tough battle to fight tonight.
"That's it, how about that?"
"Well, it suits your temperament."
Gu Chiye did not lie. The girl in front of him was like a beautiful yet dangerous wild animal, heroic yet gorgeous and charming.
"Okay, let's hurry back to Zhu's house."
After hearing Gu Chiye's answer, Zhu Sheng was full of confidence and planned to fight back immediately wearing this battle robe.
"Why, I thought you didn't want to go back?"
Hearing Zhu Sheng's suggestion, Gu Chiye frowned, somewhat confused.
"No, there is a good show today, and it can only go on if I am present."
Seeing Gu Chiye's disapproving expression, Zhu Sheng quickly added: "If you have something to do, I can take a taxi back by myself. After all, it's my private matter."
Although he knew that Zhu Sheng was a good fighter, Gu Chiye was still a little worried, especially after seeing the attitude of Zhu's family today. He estimated that there would be another bloody battle when he returned.
"It's okay, I'll go back with you."
Soon, the two returned to the Zhu family.
At this time, the birthday banquet has reached its climax.
However, this time, it was Zhu Sheng holding Gu Chiye's arm as they entered the Zhu family's gate together.
The idea of holding hands was suggested by Gu Chiye.
He believed that the two had parted ways peacefully and that Zhu Sheng did not need to endure criticism and misunderstanding from others because of this marriage.
In public, it is better to maintain friendly relations, which will also help the future development of both parties.
Zhu Sheng also agreed that it was sometimes a good idea to avoid a falling out with Gu Chiye.
At the same time, she kept in mind that she must not hinder the development of the relationship between Gu Chiye and Lin Muyun, otherwise she didn't know when disaster would come again.
However, what Zhu Sheng did not expect was that just by changing his clothes and the person around him, the whole world changed.
The ladies who had originally ignored Zhu Sheng now looked at her with envy. Some strangers even came over to praise her for how graceful and beautiful she was.
Seeing the refreshed Zhu Sheng, Shen Mo shouted in surprise.
"Sister Zhu, I knew you could wear sportswear so beautifully. If you dress up a little, you will definitely be better than everyone here."
"You're exaggerating."
"No, if you don't believe me, ask my brother."
Shen Yu's face flushed, and he looked a little dazed. He came back to his senses when his sister mentioned it, and answered softly while covering his mouth.
"Yeah, it's beautiful."
Noticing Shen Yu's abnormality, Gu Chiye's face darkened.
"Come here, I have something to talk to you about."
Shen Yu nodded, and walked towards the garden with Gu Chiye.
Zhu Sheng was not surprised that the two met. After all, from the first time they met, she guessed that the identities of the Shen brothers and sisters were not simple.
As soon as her brother left, Shen Mo unceremoniously took the seat next to Zhu Sheng and pulled her aside to talk to her in private.
"Sister Zhu, you and your brother-in-law are so romantic. You ran out holding hands and came back arm in arm. Now I wonder who would dare to say that you two are not a good match."
Looking at Shen Mo's excited expression, Zhu Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"He was just trying to help me out. You should have known we were getting divorced after watching the live broadcast."
"They haven't got the divorce certificate yet. I don't care. They are just a married couple now."
Seeing Zhu Sheng's helpless smile, Shen Mo couldn't help but ask.
"Sister Zhu, tell me in secret, what do you think of Mr. Gu?"
"He's okay, but we're not suitable to be husband and wife."
"Is that so..." Shen Mo looked regretful, "I thought we could get close to each other and support each other."
"What is CP?" Zhu Sheng asked curiously.
Just when Shen Mo was about to explain this to Zhu Sheng, a waiter came over and said respectfully to Zhu Sheng, "Second Miss, the master wants you to go to the tea room upstairs."
Zhu Sheng looked up and saw the closed door of the teahouse, and he immediately understood most of what was going on.
It looks like the fun is about to begin tonight.
