"Thank you, Aunt Ye."
While thanking the housekeeper, Ouyang Yu walked straight towards the main house without stopping.
Aunt Ye walked behind Ouyang Yu and said as she walked, "The young lady is in the study upstairs. Master Yu, please go directly to the second floor. I will get you an ice pack."
Ouyang Yu hummed.
There was no one in the lobby on the first floor.
All the Zhao family members are abroad, only Zhao Shu came back for Ye Junbo.
This realization made Ouyang Yu feel sour.
"Master Yu, do you want to have a midnight snack?"
Aunt Ye asked.
"Need not."
Ouyang Yu declined Aunt Ye's kindness and went upstairs on his own.
He often comes to the Zhao family and is very familiar with it.
When he arrived at Zhao Shu's study, Ouyang Yu was silent for two minutes before he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Aunt Ye, I'm busy."
Zhao Shu thought it was Aunt Ye.
"Zhao Shu, it's me."
Ouyang Yu responded to her in a low voice.
There was no sound in the room. Soon, the study door was opened and Zhao Shu, wearing a nightgown, appeared in front of Ouyang Yu.
Having taken a shower and removed her makeup, she was now bare-faced.
Not sure if it was an illusion or a problem with the lighting, but Ouyang Yu felt that Zhao Shu looked a little old now.
Zhao Shu is only one year younger than him and Ye Junbo. She is 28 years old this year and is considered an older leftover woman.
"Ouyang, why are you here? What's wrong with your face?"
Zhao Shu walked out of the study while talking, and asked Ouyang Yu with concern. He even reached out and gently touched Ouyang Yu's red and swollen face, "Does it hurt? Who hit you? Junbo?"
There are only a handful of people who dare to attack Ouyang Yu.
The first person Zhao Shu thought of was Ye Junbo.
After being slapped by Mu Qing, she pretended to meet Ouyang Yu by chance, letting Ouyang Yu know that she was bullied by Mu Qing.
Ouyang Yu loves her so much, he will definitely cause trouble for Mu Qing.
But Mu Qing is protected by Ye Junbo, and it is easy for the two to come into conflict.
What Zhao Shu didn't expect was that Ouyang Yu would be beaten so badly. His face was no longer as handsome as before. It was red and swollen, like a fermented steamed bun.
"It was Ye Junbo who beat you. His wife beat you up, and I went to settle the score with that woman. Ye Junbo happened to be there, so we had a conflict. You know how skilled Ye Junbo is. I was no match for him, and that's why I got beaten like this."
Zhao Shu had long guessed that Ye Junbo would protect Mu Qing, but when he heard Ouyang Yu say that, he felt jealous.
Although Ye Junbo has learned a lot of martial arts, he will not use them easily.
Zhao Shu grew up with him and had never seen him fight for anyone.
Now, he beats someone up for Mu Qing. Does he like Mu Qing so much?
Zhao Shu hated Mu Qing so much that his teeth were itching, and there was a cruel look in his eyes.
Anyone who dares to snatch Zhao Shu's man or blocks her way will be made to suffer a fate worse than death!
"Ouyang, you know Junbo is very skilled, so don't be impulsive when he's around."
Zhao Shu looked distressed. He touched Ouyang Yu's face again and said, "Jun Bo was too cruel. He hit you in the face, but he hit you like this. Let's go downstairs. I'll get you an ice pack."
As he spoke, he pulled Ouyang Yu downstairs.
Ouyang Yu quietly held her hand in his backhand.
Who knew that as soon as she held it, she quickly pulled it back.
Ouyang Yu felt a pain in his heart.
He had given so much for her and waited for so many years, waiting for her to let go of Junbo and accept his feelings. Whenever he pulled her hand, she would avoid him.
But for Ye Junbo, she was willing to kiss him.
Ye Junbo said that he did so much for Zhao Shu, it was not worth it...
Zhao Shu had no idea of Ouyang Yu's thoughts. She pretended nothing had happened and took Ouyang Yu downstairs.
Aunt Ye was about to go upstairs with the ice pack, but she stopped when she saw two people coming down.
"Miss, Master Yu."
"Auntie Ye, give me the ice pack."
Zhao Shu first walked a few steps to Aunt Ye and took the ice pack from her hand, "Aunt Ye, go and rest."
Aunt Ye walked away tactfully.
"Ouyang, come here and sit down. I'll help you apply a facial mask."
The disappointment in Ouyang Yu's eyes rekindled hope after Zhao Shu said this. He obediently walked to the sofa and sat down, allowing Zhao Shu to apply an ice pack to his face.
"Ouyang, when you went to see Mu Qing, did Junbo say anything? Did he blame me?"
She was worried that Ye Junbo would misunderstand her and complain to Ouyang Yu, causing Ouyang Yu to cause trouble for Mu Qing.
Even if she really did this, she couldn't let Ye Junbo know.
"He said that Mu Qing is his wife, and anyone who dares to touch a hair on Mu Qing is his enemy. He also said that hitting you hurt Mu Qing's hand, and he felt sorry for Mu Qing's hand. Zhao Shu, Ye Junbo is not a heartless person, he just doesn't have feelings for you."
"Ten years ago, before Mu Qing came between you, he was indifferent to you. Ten years later, he already has a beautiful wife, so it's even more impossible for him to accept you."
"Zhao Shu, let it go. Don't be obsessed with Jun Bo anymore. It will only make you miserable. If you're miserable, I won't be miserable either."
Ouyang Yu held Zhao Shu's hand and looked at her with his dark eyes. "Zhao Shu, there are more good men than just Junbo. Being my girlfriend is based on the premise of marriage, okay?"
Zhao Shu looked at him for a moment, then pulled his hand back and said, "Ouyang, I have always regarded you as a brother and a good friend."
"I don't want to be your good buddy, I just want to be your man!"
Ouyang Yu suddenly hugged her waist tightly and pulled her into his arms. He grabbed her hands and her waist with one hand, and pressed the back of her head with the other hand, grabbing her red lips domineeringly.
In order to get him to investigate Ye Junbo and Mu Qing, Zhao Shu was willing to kiss him, but he gave up at that time.
Now, he wants it back.
"Ouyang..."
Zhao Shu struggled, but couldn't break free from Ouyang Yu's grip, so she bit Ouyang Yu on the lips. When he let go of her in pain, she pushed him away with force.
Without thinking, he raised his hand and slapped Ouyang Yu.
There was a snapping sound.
Ouyang Yu's already red and swollen face was marked with the distinct Five Finger Mountain pattern, becoming even redder and more swollen.
"Ouyang, I told you, you are my best male friend, my good buddy, my good friend, you can't treat me like this. I came back for Junbo. The person I love is Junbo. Even after ten years, I can't let him go."
"Ouyang, the man I want to marry is Jun Bo. I'm determined to take the position of the eldest young lady of the Jun family! If you are willing to help me with this, I will be very grateful to you. If you are not willing to help me, please don't stop me."
Ouyang Yu looked at her quietly.
After a long time, he turned and left.
"Ouyang, Ouyang."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhao Shu panicked and hurriedly chased after him, trying to hold him back.
"Ouyang, I'll just pretend that what happened just now never happened. We're still good girlfriends and good friends. Don't be angry, okay?"
Her family is all abroad, and the Zhao family no longer has any status in City A.
Her ambitions and plans still need Ouyang Yu's help to be realized.
