Chapter 254 Plain Congee
It is precisely because we know this clearly.
Therefore, no matter how painful or reluctant Shao Zijie was, he always endured it silently.
She was even willing to never reveal any affection when facing Gu Yanfei, so as not to cause Gu Yanfei any unnecessary trouble.
Last night, after smoking half the night, he made up his mind to give Gu Yanfei his best wishes with a smile today.
There are many kinds of love.
He only hoped that Gu Yanfei could be happy.
Even if this happiness wasn't brought to her by him, he would be content as long as she was happy.
But Shao Ziyu ruined all of this.
If Shao Ziyu weren't his own sister, he would have strangled the person who ruined everything right now.
Seeing Shao Zijie's forehead veins throbbing with anger, Shao Ziyu felt no regret; instead, she was even happier and more excited.
Why is it that her family opposes her relationship so much that she can't be with the one she loves?
Since that's the case, nobody should have an easy time.
Wasn't Shao Zijie afraid to let people know that he liked Gu Yanfei?
But she insisted on making it known to everyone!
snort!
Why should Gu Yanfei be able to happily marry the person she loves?
Why is Gu Yanfei born into a better family than her, prettier than her, and more popular with the people in the courtyard since childhood?
Even now, those who have gotten married are luckier than her, receiving everyone's blessings.
Today, she will tear all of this apart and trample Gu Yanfei under her feet.
They labeled her as promiscuous and immoral.
She simply couldn't believe that after what happened today, the people around her would still like Gu Yanfei.
The Su family can still accept a woman with such a bad reputation as Gu Yanfei!
Thinking about all this, Shao Ziyu was even more excited.
Who could have imagined that one day she would be able to trample Gu Yanfei, the pampered darling of the compound, under her feet?
Shao Ziyu's voice grew increasingly shrill, piercing everyone's ears: "What did I do wrong? I didn't say anything wrong! Shao Zijie, you call yourself a man! Your woman is getting married, but you don't even dare to show your face. If you're a man, you should go and snatch her back! How dare Gu Yanfei seduce you, making you lose your appetite and sleep, only to turn around and marry someone else..."
"Smack!"
This time, it was Shao Zijie who slapped him.
He looked at his younger sister with eyes full of heartache.
Regarding this younger sister.
Although he felt they didn't click since childhood, he never lacked the love and care he received.
In fact, because of Shao Ziyu's bad personality, she was disliked by others from a young age.
Not just for adults, but also for children.
It was as if she was never meant to grow up in a compound.
It was like a crow that had blended into a flock of swans.
No matter what methods I tried, I couldn't integrate into this group.
As a result, Shao Ziyu, who was unconsciously excluded from the group from childhood, caused a lot of trouble.
Because of her, Shao Zijie has fought many times to protect her.
However, problems from childhood can be resolved by having a fight or a quarrel, since everyone was just a kid.
Now, Shao Ziyu has caused such a mess that it's almost impossible to salvage.
If this isn't resolved properly, then the friendship between the Gu family and the Shao family will have to come to an end.
"Brother, you hit me too? What right do you have to hit me?"
Shao Ziyu covered her burning cheek.
Without even looking in a mirror, she could tell that her face was swollen like a pig's head.
"You lunatics! What right do you have to come and hit me one after another? What right do you have to bully me like this?"
"Just because you spouted nonsense and insulted someone's reputation!" Shao Zijie looked at Shao Ziyu with icy eyes.
He took a deep breath, deliberately raised his voice, and said, "Didn't you just say that I didn't sleep last night and was smoking on the balcony? Yes, I did stay up all night smoking on the balcony. However, it wasn't because of Gu Xiaomei's marriage; it was to protect you!"
At this point, Shao Zijie bowed to Gu's father and mother, whose faces were ashen, and said, "Uncle, Aunt, I'm sorry. My sister has had some unpleasantness with the family recently, which is why she's acting so recklessly here today."
"As for her saying that I was unhappy because of Gu Xiaomei's wedding, that's complete nonsense. The reason I've been in a bad mood lately is because Shao Ziyu is dating someone... who's not presentable. I stayed up on the balcony last night because I was afraid she would sneak away while everyone was asleep."
Anyway, everyone in Beijing who needed to know about Shao Ziyu dating the grandson of a traitor already knew.
Whether you say it or not, it makes no difference anymore.
Moreover, now that Shao Ziyu has done something so shameful at the Gu family's wedding banquet, something that could ruin the relationship between the two families, there's no need for him to care about Shao Ziyu's reputation anymore.
"Shao Zijie!" Shao Ziyu hadn't expected that Shao Zijie would disregard her feelings and bring up her affairs right here.
Moreover, what does it mean to be "unpresentable"? When has Lai Jinchuan ever been unpresentable?
What gives Shao Zijie the right to talk about his partner like that?!
Thinking this to herself, Shao Ziyu decided to drop the pretense and said directly, "What makes you say such things about Lai Jinchuan? How is he not presentable! He's clearly such a good person..."
Shao Zijie sneered and asked directly, "You say he's good? What's so good about him?"
“He’s good to me!” Shao Ziyu said without hesitation.
"He's good to you? How has he been good to you?" Shao Zijie retorted.
“You and Mom and Dad have never understood me. Only Brother Jinchuan understands me. He’ll be there for me when I’m sad. And last time, when I was sick, you were all busy and didn’t have time, but he cooked me a bowl of plain porridge…”
As Shao Ziyu spoke, a happy smile appeared on her face, which was swollen like a pig's head.
It's as if they're still lingering over the taste of that bowl of plain porridge.
Upon hearing Shao Ziyu's words, the entire courtyard fell silent instantly.
Shao's mother asked in disbelief, "Ziyu, so the reason you think that Lai Jinchuan is so nice is because he cooked you a bowl of plain porridge?"
At this moment, Shao's mother also remembered that once when Shao Ziyu had a cold, after taking care of Shao's father who was in the hospital, she rushed home to cook for Shao Ziyu, only to find a pot of burnt white porridge in the kitchen...
