Chapter 570 I Don’t Care
This clearly shows that the two brothers have a bad relationship. Shen Ci can probably guess that this must have a lot to do with Liang Shishi.
Soon, the birthday banquet began to be served, and before the dishes came the various fine wines.
Although the people at this table are younger, they are all adults, and on a day like today, they are bound to have a few drinks.
"Chen Ci, right?" At this time, Liang Shishi suddenly looked at Chen Ci, and her hands kept moving as she poured herself a glass of red wine: "It's our first meeting, I toast you a glass."
The meaning of her sudden action was unclear, but it was definitely not a sign of goodwill towards her, because Shen Ci could still feel that she was competing with her.
Maybe I was really not convinced.
But Chen Ci couldn't sympathize with Liang Shishi. Putting herself in his shoes, she realized that she was already sitting here as Gao Zhan's girlfriend. Even if Liang Shishi was unwilling in her heart, her current actions were completely unreasonable.
He neither respects himself nor Gao Zhan.
But even so, Shen Ci still poured himself a glass of wine, and the surface harmony had to be maintained.
As a result, just as she was about to pick up the wine glass, a hand gently rested on it.
"Your period is about to begin, so you shouldn't drink." Gao Zhan said, taking the wine glass from her hand and gently placing it aside. He then poured a glass of juice from his own glass and placed it in front of Shen Ci: "Drink this."
Alcohol can dilate blood vessels and worsen menstrual conditions, especially since Shen Ci already has sufficient Qi and blood, the situation will be even more serious.
Gao Zhan was not only attentive, but also remembered that Shen Ci was "large in quantity".
After a moment of hesitation, Shen Ci came back to his senses and said with a look of sudden realization: "I almost forgot it myself, luckily you remembered it."
He really remembers.
Yesterday, Gao Zhan asked her about her menstrual period. She was still wondering if it was necessary to disclose personal information to each other in such detail?
"Of course I remember." Gao Zhan said softly.
Liang Shishi, who was sitting opposite, watched this scene and couldn't help but tighten her grip on the wine glass. They had grown up together, and Gao Zhan had been right beside her when she had her first period, and he had always remembered his period.
Also these two days.
But at this moment, his eyes were only on Shen Ci. He only remembered that his girlfriend was on her period, but he didn't even look at her.
Liang Shishi looked at Gao Zhan with an obscure look. Have you really forgotten, or are you pretending not to care?
However, even if Gao Zhan doesn’t remember, there are people who remember.
Gao Qi hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but remind her: "Sister Shishi, you've been drinking these past two days too, right? You should stop drinking too."
As he said this, he was about to copy Gao Zhan's actions, wanting to reach out and snatch Liang Shishi's wine glass, and then pour her another drink.
But Liang Shishi stubbornly turned slightly to the side and raised her hand to avoid it, and then raised her head and drank the glass of red wine under the gaze of everyone at the table.
After putting down the wine glass, she deliberately looked at Gao Zhan and said, "It's okay. I'm no longer the same as before."
Gao Qi's hand was suspended in the air, and finally he clenched his fist awkwardly and slowly dropped it, his cold eyes shooting towards Gao Zhan.
There was hidden anger in both of these eyes, but what did Gao Zhan say and do from beginning to end?
Nothing.
Shen Ci felt puzzled and felt that Gao Zhan was innocent.
The two people who were unable to be in love surprisingly pointed their spearheads at Gao Zhan.
However, not everyone at this table was as indifferent as Gao Min. Most people knew that the relationship between them was delicate. So they all kept silent, not daring to speak, while secretly watching the show.
As Gao Zhan's girlfriend, Shen Ci felt a breath of turbid air rising in her chest at this moment.
But she did not lose her temper and tried hard to control her emotions.
In today's occasion, everyone else is insignificant. The reason why Gao Zhan brought her here is because it is his great-grandfather's birthday, and his only purpose is to make his great-grandfather happy.
So, Shen Ci picked up the juice that Gao Zhan had poured for her and took Gao Zhan's hand: "Let's go toast to Grandpa!"
"Okay." Gao Zhan picked up the wine glass, ignored everyone's gaze, took Shen Ci's hand and left the table.
As soon as the two of them left, everyone felt that the tense atmosphere was instantly relieved by half. They exchanged glances with each other, and some people started to change the topic to liven up the atmosphere.
Gao Qi silently glanced at Liang Shishi's profile. He wanted to say something but felt timid because of Liang Shishi's cold aura.
"Are you angry?"
Gao Zhan stopped by the archway in the front and back yards and looked back at Shen Ci and asked.
Although Shen Ci didn't show it on her face, Gao Zhan could clearly feel the change in Shen Ci's aura. She was restraining and forbearing.
And at that moment, Liang Shishi and Gao Qi were looking at him together.
She was angry because of herself.
Shen Ci looked at Gao Zhan and was shocked at his sensitivity and delicacy. He could even sense that she was angry, but she clearly didn't show anything.
Since he is so sensitive and delicate, he must be able to feel 100% of the negative emotions that Liang Shishi and his younger brother released towards him for no reason.
"Aren't you angry?" Shen Ci asked.
Gao Zhan looked at her, and the next second he smiled, his entire aura relaxed: "I don't care."
He really doesn't care.
Shen Ci just looked into his eyes and felt his emotions at the moment, and believed his words 100%.
She felt relieved at once.
Yes, the reason why I was angry was because I felt that the feelings of those two people that had nowhere to go had nothing to do with Gao Zhan?
Gao Zhan must have thought the same thing. He must have felt that it had nothing to do with him. Since it was none of his business, why should he care?
"Let's go and toast to Grandpa."
Putting the bad luck behind them, the two of them walked into the backyard together.
Great grandfather was really happy today. Even if Chen Ci used juice instead of wine, he was still happy. Not only great grandfather was happy, Gao Zhan's grandfather and father were also in very high spirits today.
He wanted to pull Gao Zhan and Shen Ci around the venue so that everyone could see the beautiful girlfriend Gao Zhan brought back.
It was past nine o'clock in the evening and the birthday banquet was only about to start halfway.
Gao Zhan drank some wine and pulled Shen Ci aside: "It's almost time, I'll take you home."
Shen Ci glanced at the time. It had been about five hours since she left home in the afternoon.
"Since we're already here, it's not good for me to leave halfway, right?"
Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol that softened Gao Zhan's demeanor: "It's okay, you're still in school, they will understand."
"And it's just today. I'm afraid if you don't leave after the end, they'll keep you talking again. You don't have to deal with so much for me. You've done more than enough today, and it's good enough."
This hit the mark of Shen Ci's heart. Even when she was in a serious relationship, she didn't want to have too much contact with her boyfriend's family. Today was the only day, so it was an exception.
So I nodded and said, "I'll go back by myself. You can't drive after drinking."
As he was about to pull his hand away, Gao Zhan held it tightly: "I'll take you there. I'll call a designated driver."
I'm almost exhausted. Let me take a break. I'll post the other chapter later.
