Chapter 211: For Him, Becoming the Target of Public Criticism

Gu Xinchi glanced at Chu Guanhua coldly: "He's here too?"

Shen Zhichu sneered disdainfully: "Such a good opportunity, how could he be willing to give it up."

"It seems that he is planning to break off completely with your family?" Gu Nichi shook his wine glass viciously. "In order to satisfy his vanity, he really went to great lengths."

"He wants to, but he's unwilling to do so. After all, he still has to rely on me, someone he doesn't approve of." Shen Zhichu could no longer hide the contempt in his eyes.

Gu Jinchi nudged Shen Zhichu, and they looked at Lin Du and Chu Xu.

Chu Guanhua walked up to Chu Xu, frowning coldly: "You hid here as soon as you arrived. What's the point of me bringing you here?"

Chu Xu rubbed his brows and sighed softly. Facing this kind of coercion from his father, he seemed to have become accustomed to it.

"Lin Du, please sit down for a while. I'll go over there."

Lin Du was worried and wanted to stop Chu Xu, but he stopped him by shaking his head.

Lin Du felt distressed. Chu Xu was like a puppet, being led by his father to flatter others.

There was no trace of emotion on his face, but Lin Du could clearly feel the pain in his heart.

If he is like this, what about Shen Zhichu who loves him deeply?

Gu Niechi walked over to Lin Du and put his arm around his waist: "What are you looking at?"

"You see Chu Xu is smiling, but I feel like he is crying." Lin Du pinched his fingers, "I understand his helplessness."

Gu Yanchi took Lin Du's hand and stroked it tenderly, "Don't worry, Shen Zhichu will take care of it."

Chu Guanhua brought Chu Xu to Shen Zhichu. He patted Shen Zhichu's shoulder and said, "Zhichu, your father is really envious of you for having such a reliable son."

Chu Xu felt depressed. He turned around and tried to leave, but was stopped by Chu Guanhua: "You uneducated thing, did I let you go?"

Shen Zhichu frowned, his eyes filled with danger.

But after seeing Chu Xusheng's helpless expression, her heart ached again.

"Zhichu! Your father and I have been friends for many years. You must help me more. After all, Chu Xu is not as capable as you. I can't count on him."

Shen Zhichu snorted and raised his lips: "You don't count on him, but you use him everywhere. You really have the nerve to say that."

Hearing the voice, Chu Guanhua's face darkened. He stared at Shen Zhichu but could do nothing.

Chu Xu sighed. The scene he least wanted to see finally came.

"Shen Zhichu, don't think you are so great. I am just frustrated now, but I won't stay like this forever."

"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. We'll see."

The humiliated Chu Guanhua completely stopped pretending. He raised the corner of his mouth sinisterly: "As long as I'm alive, you can't get together with Chu Xu."

"No... Even if I'm gone, you can't be with him."

"I can't deal with you, but I can torture him."

"I want to make him suffer so much that he wants to die. I want you to watch your loved one struggling so hard that your life would be worse than death."

Chu Xu was trembling all over. Who could have imagined that these were words a father could say?

He endured it, veins popping out on his neck: "Dad! That's enough!"

Bang!

A loud slap made the originally noisy atmosphere freeze instantly, and everyone focused their attention on Chu Xu.

Lin Du was about to rush over, but was stopped by Gu Yanchi: "Don't go, let Shen Zhichu handle it himself."

The wine glass in his hand was crushed and bleeding profusely.

Shen Zhichu clenched his fists, veins bulging, as if the anger had accumulated in his body to an uncontrollable level.

Chu Guanhua was startled and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Shen Zhichu raised the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were extremely vicious: "You really deserve to die."

Chu Guanhua pointed at the frantic Shen Zhichu with a trembling hand: "What do you want to do?"

"What?" Shen Zhichu sneered, "To destroy your delusional dreams."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Zhichu pulled Chu Xu over, held his face and kissed him.

A look of surprise appeared on Chu Guanhua's face, and his eyes were as big as copper bells, as if an unbelievable scene was playing out before his eyes.

Everyone cried out in surprise. They could never imagine that Shen Zhichu would do such an outrageous thing in such a situation.

Chu Xu did not struggle, but only shed tears.

He didn't dare open his eyes. The gazes of the people around him were like sharp blades, ruthlessly piercing his body.

Shen Zhi's eyes were already wet from the heat of his first kiss.

He didn't know what consequences his actions would bring, but no matter what the consequences were, he would accept them all.

Chu Guanhua covered his chest with his hands, his face pale.

Shen Zhichu's action undoubtedly thwarted all his hopes. He glared at his disappointing son angrily, then turned and left.

Lin Du tightly grasped Gu Xinchi's hand and hid in his arms.

How helpless Chu Xu must be at this moment, caught in the middle of the struggle between his lover and his relatives.

Chu Guanhua left the scene angrily. Although people had some criticisms, they did not discuss it too much.

Shen Zhichu let go of Chu Xu and kept saying sorry in his ear.

Chu Xu sighed deeply. What had he done wrong? Why should he apologize?

Shen Zhichu's father, Shen Zhu, walked over slowly with a solemn look on his face. It was not until today that he understood why Shen Zhichu had always resisted the marriage partner he had arranged for him.

So this is where the problem lies.

Shen Zhichu protected Chu Xu behind him. He knew what kind of person his father was: "Dad, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Shen Zhichu was slapped in the face.

Chu Xu wanted to step forward to explain, but was stopped by Shen Zhichu.

"You'd better explain it to me clearly." Shen Zhu scolded, hoping that Shen Zhichu would not be so presumptuous.

Shen Zhichu took Chu Xu's hand and looked at everyone present.

"I'm sorry to bother you all, but I have a few words to say today."

"As you can see, the person I have always loved is Chu Xu, but he has never agreed to my pursuit, and it is me who has been pestering him."

Shen Zhichu raised his lips and said, "I don't have any other skills, but I am best at pursuing relentlessly."

"As you can see, it's really hard to pursue someone like Chu Xu, so I need to keep working hard to become his sooner rather than later."

The scene was in complete silence, and everyone was in shock.

Gu Lianchi raised his hands high and was the first to applaud his brother.

Someone takes the lead and many people join in.

Lin Du pursed his lips and looked at Chu Xu with heartache.

He thought he should be able to understand Shen Zhichu's good intentions.

Shen Zhichu held him high and made himself the target of public criticism.

Shen Luo sighed helplessly, he knew his son best.

No one can stop him from making a decision.

But this concerns the survival of two major families, how can it be treated so lightly?

When everyone left, Lin Du rushed to Chu Xu first and hugged him. No words could compare to his hug.

Chu Xu patted Lin Du's shoulder: "I'm fine."

Gu Xichi and Shen Zhichu stood side by side, his eyes following Lin Du closely, but that did not prevent him from giving Shen Zhichu a thumbs up.
