Chapter 145 She will show weakness, but she will show weakness just right
Jiang Zhiyue washed the soiled clothes by the river.
Even Gu Zhaoye didn't know about this place.
She would wash herself here, in a relatively clean river surrounded by a large circle of lush vegetation.
Dead branches and leaves were scattered all over the ground, making it easy for someone to be spotted if they approached.
Jiang Zhiyue washed the clothes for a long time before she finally washed away the dirty traces. She went back with the clothes in her arms, but unexpectedly met Chu Junyue.
It seemed as if the man was waiting for her on her way back, or as if he had met her by chance.
Chu Junyue has a habit of fitness. Each piece of long-sleeved sportswear fits tightly to his agile body. The man's muscles are full of power, handsome and upright posture, strong physique, and the first impression he gives people is that he exudes a strong desire to conquer.
If those things hadn't happened, Jiang Zhiyue could have faced him calmly, but...
The feelings between men and women are inherently a very subtle thing, especially his desire, which is a very obvious feature that Jiang Zhiyue cannot ignore, and Chu Junyue is even less likely to ignore it.
A few hours ago, he watched her and Gu Zhaoye from afar. She just bit her lip at him, her eyes slightly red, looking like she had been bullied.
Chu Junyue's originally condescending look at her changed, and then he chose to leave.
It was getting a little dark. Jiang Zhiyue still had some wild fruits she had picked earlier in her pocket. Chu Junyue smelled that familiar fragrance again. She was a few steps away, but the fragrance went straight into his mind.
Chu Junyue's eyes were clear, and there was nothing wrong with the look he cast on her.
Jiang Zhiyue took the clothes and chose the path next to her to leave. Chu Junyue suddenly asked, "Did you do it with Zhaoye?"
Chu Junyue was a man with a strong sense of morals, otherwise he would not have refrained from touching her again and again. He hated women who were vain and materialistic and who had affairs with multiple men.
These women always use various excuses to cover up their intentions.
With clumsy means and humble origins, she dreams of rising to the top overnight and changing her fate by relying on her beauty.
Chu Junyue looked down on them and never even looked at Jiang Zhiyue. He classified her as one of them when he first met her.
Since when did you realize something was wrong?
Maybe what she said and what she did were different.
Even though it was their first meeting, she still questioned him with great confidence - was it wrong to change her fate with her beauty?
——There is nothing wrong with ambition. You should strive for any opportunity first.
But when a real opportunity came to her, she didn't take it.
At the beach, Gu Zhaoye kissed her and offered her money to do that kind of thing. Mu Liansheng also offered a high price to keep her, and she could easily become the lover of any one of them.
Even the most well-behaved Chu Junche did not accept the olive branch offered to her.
Just like that night, if Jiang Zhiyue had taken the initiative towards him, if he had wanted her, he would have given her a large sum of money as compensation afterwards, and she could have lived a better life with this money, as long as she was willing to sacrifice her body.
The bad nature of men.
The pure white paper is stained with dirt and filth.
Chu Junyue didn't have this hobby, but he knew how exciting this form of entertainment was, and he could have a lot of it as long as he wanted.
Jiang Zhiyue was under his gaze, and all the space around her seemed to be locked by the man's cold eyes. She turned around, and Chu Junyue said coldly: "This is the second time."
"He and I don't." Jiang Zhiyue shifted her gaze towards him, met his eyes, without dodging or evading, with a calm expression.
As she said this, she observed the expression on the man's face, but unfortunately Chu Junyue had a cold expression and a deep mind, so it was difficult to find any clues from his facial expression.
He was taller than Gu Zhaoye, and Jiang Zhiyue could feel his strong aura. He said nothing, his cold, thin lips were tightly pursed, and his angular face was tense.
"Young Master Chu..." Jiang Zhiyue called out softly.
That very light and soft voice immediately made Chu Junyue's expression slightly relaxed. He frowned and looked at her standing properly with her little face tilted up, like a child who had made a mistake.
"You said you can fulfill any of my wishes. If I tell you my wish now, will I still have a chance to receive your invitation?"
She wanted to know how many chances she could get back from Chu Junyue by saving Chu Junche.
One cannot be greedy, so one must seize opportunities.
If Chu Junyue was only willing to help her once, there were some things he couldn't say.
Chu Junyue was obviously not telling her the same thing, and his brows furrowed again.
Jiang Zhiyue discovered that he had a habit. His face was expressionless, but whenever he frowned, it usually meant he was very dissatisfied.
Jiang Zhiyue had enough experience and knew how to guess their thoughts. The more she wanted to achieve her goal, the more she had to make the other party feel that she didn't want it and that she was just forced to accept and beg. This satisfied their sense of superiority and fulfilled their desire for control.
The more moral burden a person has, the more reliable the promises he makes.
This soft voice clearly called him, Chu Junyue raised his eyebrows, "Of course."
Jiang Zhiyue felt relieved. She was glad to receive his invitation letter. If Jiang Wanrou's illness could be cured as soon as possible, she would be able to find out what had happened to Jiang Wanrou. This was her knot in her heart.
"Master Chu, I hope that next time you see something like that... you can stop my master." Jiang Zhiyue took a deep breath, her voice so low that it could be ignored. "The master and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend. I know I shouldn't be close to him, but this is a vicious circle... I can't leave the Gu family, so I can't refuse my employer's request."
"I still have to go to school, and my mother still has to work. If I leave the Gu family, my situation will only be worse than it is now."
"You may think I'm too greedy, or you may hate people like us, but this is my way of survival. I want to graduate successfully..."
This time Chu Junyue finally heard her true thoughts.
He looked at her shy expression, her fingers grasping the hem of her clothes, her tender knuckles turning pale due to excessive tension.
If it weren't for Jiang Zhiyue's last sentence, which was too honest, Chu Junyue felt that she was actually seeking his protection, but she was smart enough not to say it explicitly.
She will show weakness, just the right amount.
Just like she was strong and courageous enough to save Chu Junche.
The girl had her hair tied up with the same sky blue headband she had worn that night. Chu Junyue's eyes turned cold and he looked at her with an indecipherable expression.
"Master Chu..." The soft voice clearly called out his name again.
Chu Junyue pursed his lips even tighter, his Adam's apple rolled heavily, and he said coldly: "It depends on your performance."
