Chapter 27 Ashu is Love-Obsessed
The office of the president of Gu's Group.
"Mr. Gu, Miss Shen has been asking about your schedule a lot these past few days. Do you think we should tell her?" Chu Pei asked Yu Shu respectfully.
He really couldn't understand it. Every night, President Gu would wait until she fell asleep to go see her, sometimes sitting there all night long, almost ruining his own health. During the day, he wouldn't show any interest whatsoever, even though the girl would subtly inquire about his schedule every day, he still wouldn't give her any response.
Yu Shu stood with her back to Chu Pei in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing outside. Her expressionless face was reflected in the glass. After a long while, she said indifferently, "Tell her about the event and cocktail party tonight."
"Okay." Chu Pei left. When it comes to dating, he admired his own CEO the most. He had the girl completely under his thumb with ease. Sigh, this Miss Shen really fell for the CEO.
The summer sun cast long shadows around her, and she stood there, staring blankly outside. Shen Zhen made her feel powerless; this time, she wanted to see how much she meant to Shen Zhen. If Chu Chu knew her thoughts, she would surely laugh at her for being love-struck, but what could she do? She felt insecure too!
...
"Little Yu'er, do you know about the Gu family's banquet tonight?" Shen Zhen asked cautiously, observing Jiang Yu's expression.
While peeling an orange, Jiang Yu said, "Yeah! I know, I'm going tonight too. This dance competition is sponsored by Gu's. They said they'd hold a party before it starts so everyone can get together and get to know each other. What's up?"
Shen Zhen immediately took the orange, peeled a segment and stuffed it into Jiang Yu's mouth, smiling obsequiously, "Yu! Yu'er! Little Yu'er! My little Yu'er! My best little Yu'er!"
Jiang Yu's body trembled, and she shouted, "Stop! Stop! Stop! Get to the point, you're giving me goosebumps!"
Shen Zhen shook Jiang Yu's arm, her eyes sparkling, and said softly and coquettishly, "Good Yu'er, take me with you!"
Before Jiang Yu could speak, Chu Chu, who appeared at the door, froze, her heart skipping a beat. At this moment, Shen Zhen was charming and lovely, her eyes seemingly sparkling with countless lights.
In a daze, Chu Chu heard her own voice, "Zhenzhen, where do you want to go? I'll take you there."
Shen Zhen was startled. When she realized it was Chu Chu, she smiled awkwardly and said, "It's nothing..." After all, Chu Chu was Yu Shu's cousin. If she found out, Yu Shu would definitely find out too.
Jiang Yu, confused, blurted out, "Are you stupid! Chu Chu can take you there! Gu Yushu is her sister, isn't that a small matter?"
Chu Chu asked in confusion, "Where are you taking Zhenzhen?"
Jiang Yu said, "The Gu family is having a cocktail party tonight, and Zhenzhen would like to attend. Could you take her in?"
Shen Zhen looked at her with bright, expectant eyes, as if she would cry if she were told no.
Chu Chu swept her long hair behind her ear and smiled. "Of course, you two are coming with me tonight! I'm sick of the smell of disinfectant in this hospital, it's a good time to get out and have some fun!"
Seeing Shen Zhen's happy expression, Chu Chu couldn't help but smile as well. She gave Shen Zhen's head a good rub, and the texture was just as she had imagined—soft and comfortable!
Shen Zhen calmly withdrew her hand from Chu Chu's grasp and politely said, "Thank you."
The touch in her palm was fleeting. Chu Chu silently put her hands in her pockets and smiled nonchalantly, "You two hurry up and get ready, and help me prepare our battle outfits for tonight!"
Shen Zhen shook her head and said softly, "No need, I have a dress."
Jiang Yu put her arm around Shen Zhen's shoulder. "It's okay, you can wear any of my clothes!"
Chu Chu waved her phone. "Are you sure you don't want to buy a new one? There are a lot of beautiful women tonight. Sister Shu has been out of the closet for a long time, and both men and women will be vying to get close to her. Grandpa has always wanted her to get married, and maybe her marriage partner will come tonight."
Chu Chu paused for a moment, then continued, "What was her name again? When the Yang family was in power, their daughter was called Yang Yao. She was famous for her oranges."
Shen Zhen opened her mouth, her heart suddenly clenching. All she had were those three years of memories. Ashu... did she still care? She hadn't come to see her in a long time. Was she angry, or did she really want to let go?
Seeing that Shen Zhen was keeping her head down and not speaking, Chu Chu knew that her words had made her uncomfortable. She squatted down by Shen Zhen's bedside and smiled, "But... if you ask me, Sister Shu cares about you the most, Shen Xiaozhen. I even saw her come to see you in the middle of the night a couple of days ago!"
Although Chu Chu really didn't want to tell Shen Zhenshu that she had come, she didn't want to see her sad either.
Shen Zhen raised her eyes, her moist eyes filled with surprise, and asked softly, "Really? You're not lying to me?"
Ah Shu came! This news was hard for Shen Zhen to process. No matter what, she should go see her and make things clear!
Chu Chu suppressed the bitterness in her heart, nodded, and gently touched the hem of her clothes. "Yes, how could I lie to you? Let's go, consider it my way of thanking you for cooking for me for so long! Okay?"
Chu Chu's tone was soft and gentle, as if afraid that Shen Zhen would refuse. Jiang Yu, standing to the side, was somewhat surprised. This... really? Could Chu Chu be infatuated with their Shen Xiaozhen? What's going on? Sisters with the same taste? A happy life for the three of them? My god, just thinking about it is exciting.
Jiang Yu smiled ambiguously at Shen Zhen. Their Zhenzhen is quite the lucky one!
Jiang Yu immediately pulled Shen Zhen up. "Zhenzhen, don't hesitate! I'll go pick out a beautiful dress for you that will make your sweetheart swoon!"
The three of them immediately went to the largest shopping mall in City A. Standing in front of the huge luxury store, Shen Zhen was still a little dazed. This... her wallet wouldn't allow her to indulge in luxury!
Shen Zhen hesitated for a moment, "How about... we look for another place? This... isn't really suitable for me..."
Jiang Yu and Chu Chu each pulled her on one side and led her inside. Chu Chu said in a way that left no room for refusal, "Why look at other places? This is it! I'll pay for it!"
"Tsk!" A voice, neither too loud nor too soft, came from behind. A girl dressed in fancy clothes looked at her with disdain and said to her companion without any hesitation, "There are all kinds of people in the world. It's just a piece of clothing, why should someone else pay for it? If you can't afford it, don't buy it. I'm annoyed by gold diggers!"
Chu Chu frowned upon hearing this, then put her arm around Shen Zhen's shoulder and walked inside.
"There are all kinds of people in the world, I get annoyed just seeing gossipy old women!" The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone to hear.
Now, Chu Chu can't stand anyone saying a bad word about Shen Zhen. She doesn't know when it started, but she's always wanted to protect Shen Zhen firmly. She even secretly hopes that Sister Shu will let go, so she can seize the opportunity!
Shen Zhen shook her head, glanced at her simple clothes, and patted Chu Chu's arm reassuringly. She had endured countless scornful looks since childhood and was immune to unwarranted malice. No matter what others said, she only needed to know what she wanted; she didn't need everyone to understand her.
The three ignored the two haughty girls and went inside to browse.
"Hello, please bring this over to try on," Shen Zhen said to the shop assistant, pointing to a short black dress.
The shop assistant respectfully went to get it, while the girl speaking at the door looked at Shen Zhen with disdain, sizing her up and down. She disliked Shen Zhen for no reason; her clothes were ordinary, and she had a gentle and mild demeanor, which made her look like a green tea b*tch!
The girl stopped the shop assistant, "Wait! I've got my eye on this dress, let me try it on first!"
