Volume 1 Chapter 26 Friends
As soon as Zhu's father fell, the entire Zhu family fell into chaos.
Zhu's mother almost fainted, and she cried as she sent the servant to take Zhu's father to the hospital.
With things like this, the birthday party definitely can’t be held.
The guests left without saying goodbye, and the hall that was bustling with people a few minutes ago became deserted in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Sheng watched coldly, but felt a little sorry that his father fainted so early. It was actually a bit of an easy deal for him.
However, thinking that today's incident would become a scandal and spread throughout the wealthy circles of Huacheng, and that the Yin family would definitely not let the Zhu family go in a short time, Zhu Sheng felt a little better.
The sad days for the Zhu family have just begun.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Zhu Sheng planned to leave.
However, the Shen siblings were still worried and offered to drive her home.
Just when Zhu Sheng wanted to take a ride, Gu Chiye spoke in a serious tone.
"Zhu Sheng, I'll take you home tonight."
Zhu Sheng then noticed that Gu Chiye's condition had been abnormal since he entered the tea room.
His face was gloomy, his eyes were sinister, and murderous intent emanated from his body, like an active volcano about to erupt.
While playing the recording, Gu Chiye clenched his fists several times and tried his best to endure it, as if he would punch and kick Zhu's father in the next second.
Perhaps because this was the place where Zhu Sheng was appealing, he had to suppress his inner impulse and allow the trial to be completed smoothly in public.
The Shen siblings also noticed that Gu Chiye was different and hesitated whether to let Zhu Sheng have contact with him in his current state.
Zhu Sheng sighed. Faced with today's unexpected events, she felt that she did have an obligation to talk to Gu Chiye about this matter.
"Okay, I'll take your car back."
After hearing Zhu Sheng's choice, Gu Chiye's expression improved a little.
He took a deep breath and reassured the worried Shen siblings.
"Don't worry, I will definitely send her home safely this time."
When he said the word "safety", Gu Chiye's back teeth seemed to be broken, and a hint of anger appeared on his face for a moment.
"Let's go."
Gu Chiye once again tightly grasped Zhu Sheng's hand and led her out of the Zhu family.
In the car, the two fell into an unusual silence.
Several times, Gu Chiye had an expression of wanting to say something but hesitating, as if he had a lot of questions to ask but didn't know where to start.
From a certain perspective, she could understand Gu Chiye's feelings. This matter was indeed not very glorious.
Fortunately, the news of the divorce had already been known to everyone, otherwise Gu Chiye would have been cuckolded for no apparent reason tonight.
It’s all because Zhu’s father is too greedy. Seeing that the Gu family has no new benefits to offer, he can’t wait to get in touch with the Yin family, forcing Zhu Sheng to play along.
Thinking of this, Zhu Sheng decided to take the initiative to speak up and comfort this innocent man to help him calm down.
“I admit that I did this impulsively, but at the time this was the only way to make those two beasts give up completely.
As for the consequences that will follow, I will take full responsibility for my own actions and will definitely not implicate you.
Besides, everyone knows that we are getting divorced soon, and this matter will not be blamed on you no matter what..."
Zhu Sheng spoke a long speech in one breath, thinking that this would be enough to comfort Chi Ye.
Unexpectedly, the more he talked, the worse Gu Chiye's expression became.
In the end, she felt more and more guilty the more she spoke. She could only look at Gu Chiye's profile, wondering in her heart, what had happened to provoke this young master?
After coaxing for a while, Zhu Sheng couldn't say anything more and just started questioning.
"Gu Chiye, I solved this matter by myself and didn't drag you into it. In the end, everyone is happy. What are you angry about?"
Hearing Zhu Sheng's complaint, Gu Chiye laughed in anger.
"So, you think the reason I'm angry is because I'm worried that you'll get me into trouble?"
There was a mocking smile on his face, but his voice was as cold as ice.
Zhu Sheng scratched his head, thought for a while, and whispered: "...Are you afraid that I can't beat them?"
As if he was fed up with Zhu Sheng's slowness, Gu Chiye yelled at her for the first time.
"Do you think you are so amazing that you can handle anything by yourself?
If Zhu Qi's drug was not put in the tea, but injected secretly when you were not paying attention. Or if this meeting was not at a public banquet, but at a private occasion, do you think you could still escape so smoothly? ! "
Seeing Gu Chiye behave in such a way for the first time, Zhu Sheng was shocked and reflected on his actions in his heart.
After a while, she actually nodded approvingly at Gu Chiye.
"You're right. I was inconsiderate this time. I didn't expect that the eldest son of the Yin family actually carried a gun with him. Fortunately, Mr. Yin didn't have any personal alarm devices on him, otherwise he would be discovered as soon as he made a move, which would have been a problem!
Next time I will bring more tools and be fully prepared. "
Hearing Zhu Sheng's seemingly serious reflection, Gu Chiye was almost going crazy. Did this woman understand the main point?
"Next time, and next time, do you still want to deal with them alone?"
"Of course. With today's incident, the Zhu family and the Yin family have become enemies, but I am also done with the Zhu family.
Who knows if these two companies will hire someone to deal with me in the future? I have to be prepared to protect myself at all times."
After hearing this, Gu Chiye was completely speechless.
What Zhu Sheng meant was, even if I encounter something like this next time, I still won’t take the initiative to ask for help from myself?
He couldn't help but think deeply, is their marriage really so bad?
It can make a love-brained wife who used to take care of everything by herself become a lone wolf with a somewhat masculine way of thinking after divorce.
Thinking of this, Gu Chiye's expression became a little bitter.
In the final analysis, Zhu Sheng had been hurt by him too many times and was unwilling to trust himself, so he chose to take the risk alone.
He sighed deeply, tried to calm himself, and spoke to her slowly in as calm a tone as possible.
"I will help you put pressure on the Zhu and Yin families. You are still my wife. If you do something like this in front of me and don't give me an explanation, the Gu family will not let them go."
"You mean, you want to help me out?"
Seeing Zhu Sheng’s surprised look, Gu Chiye felt uncomfortable.
"I'm not that cold-blooded, but you have to be careful. It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark."
Hearing that someone was willing to help settle the matter, Zhu Sheng was suddenly moved, and she patted Gu Chiye's shoulder with emotion.
"Xiao Gu, although you are not a very good husband, you are still a very loyal friend."
Hearing this, Gu Chiye felt mixed emotions, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
Finally, he sighed helplessly.
Okay, friends are friends, after all, there is a long way to go.
