Chapter 50 Video of Pulling Open the Collar
Returning from the airport, Shen Zhen looked at the house without Yu Shu and felt it was empty and desolate. The huge villa was eerily quiet.
Shen Zhen sat blankly in the living room, looking around. The beautiful crystal chandelier and the expensive oil paintings all seemed so cold.
Shen Zhen couldn't help but wonder if she was always this lonely when she and Tuan Tuan weren't by Ashu's side.
Shen Zhen felt increasingly upset, so she got up, took her computer, and sat outside, forcing herself to concentrate on typing for a while and temporarily forget about A-Shu.
This afternoon, I'm planning to take Tuantuan to visit her grandmother. Her grandmother's health hasn't been good lately, and I don't know if she'll be able to make it through the winter.
...
On the other side, the Gu Group.
"What? You want me to go and bring Jiang Yu to the villa?"
Zhong Li nestled in her office chair, her face as calm and collected as ever, a gentle smile playing on her lips, as she casually asked...
"Yes, I'm worried that Zhenzhen might overthink things if she's home alone while I'm away on a business trip. Jiang Yu is her good friend, so the time will pass faster if she goes to keep her company."
Gu Yushu's calm voice came through the receiver.
Zhong Li touched her earlobe. "Tsk! Mr. Gu, do you know that spoiling others like this creates unfair competition in the market? How are others supposed to survive?"
Gu Yushu chuckled softly, "What? You haven't won her over yet? This isn't a great opportunity, hurry up and go pick her up!"
Zhong Li curled a strand of her long hair into a circle and asked slowly and deliberately, "So I should thank you?"
Gu Yushu replied, "If you want to thank me, I have no objection."
A mischievous glint flashed in Zhong Li's eyes. "Alright, I'll set off right now and pick up Chu Chu too. More people, more fun. Besides, Chu Chu is your cousin, so you know her."
Gu Yushu's voice was completely flat. "Hmm, it seems I can save some money on my year-end bonus."
"Tsk! Threatening me?" Zhong Li stood up, the clatter of her high heels echoing. "Don't think I'm falling for that! I'm going to pick up Miss Jiang! No unauthorized personnel will get near Miss Chen! Is that alright, Mr. Gu?"
"Yes, if you do a good job, your year-end bonus will be doubled." Gu's voice rang out with a smile.
Zhong Li hung up the phone and scoffed, "Tch!" The stench of this romance was palpable even from halfway around the world! Love-struck fools are beyond saving!
Zhong Li felt disdain in her heart, but she still grabbed her car keys and went out. The thought of having a perfectly legitimate reason to approach that fiery girl made her heart leap with excitement. Zhong Li hadn't seen her since returning from the hot spring resort. Hearing that she had done well in the semi-finals, Zhong Li thought for a moment, then turned back and took a delicate little box from her drawer before leaving.
"Xiaoyu, come down, I'll be waiting for you down here," Zhong Li's lazy voice came.
Jiang Yu unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone, feeling as if an electric current was flowing from her eardrums to her heart, making her heart flutter.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yu cursed herself inwardly for being so spineless! Why couldn't she help but get flustered every time she was around Zhong Li? Just one sentence was enough to make her blush and her heart race. How pathetic!
Jiang Yu wore a fitted velvet dress today. Because of her long hours of dancing, Jiang Yu had a graceful figure with a prominent bust and shapely hips. She knew how to use her strengths, and for some reason, she always wanted to show Zhong Li her best side.
Zhong Li leaned against the car door listlessly, her long legs slightly crossed, exuding her usual languid and aloof air. A cigarette was held between the fingers of her right hand, and her eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Yu emerge.
Zhong Li had to admit that Jiang Yu's figure and looks were indeed very good, and her bright eyes also made her very attracted.
Zhong Li unconsciously curved the corners of her lips into a smile, opened the passenger door for Jiang Yu, gestured for her to get in, and said ambiguously, "Princess, please get in the car."
Jiang Yu's neck flushed red, but she feigned arrogance and sat down inside, carrying her handbag. As she passed by, she clearly smelled the faint scent of cedar on Zhong Li, which made Jiang Yu's restless heart even more uneasy.
Jiang Yu, sitting in the passenger seat, stole glances at Zhong Li. Zhong Li's hand rested casually on the steering wheel, her gaze fixed intently on the road ahead, her profile focused. Today, she wore a black shirt paired with a pencil skirt, exuding a sexy, mature woman's aura.
At the traffic light, Zhong Li suddenly turned her head.
Their eyes met, and Jiang Yu, caught peeking, pretended to be fierce and said, "Why are you looking at me? Watch where you're going!"
Zhong Li wasn't angry. She chuckled, leaned closer, and said earnestly, her eyes sparkling with pleasure, "Of course, it's because you're pretty!"
With a "whoosh!", fireworks exploded in her mind, unable to understand why Zhong Li would suddenly praise her. Jiang Yu's gaze wandered aimlessly, then fixed blankly on Zhong Li's fair and smooth jawline, her mind flashing back to how Zhong Li had been aroused that night. For some reason, Jiang Yu's heart suddenly raced, and an ambiguous atmosphere quickly spread in the car.
Having finally arrived at Gu Yushu's villa, Jiang Yu immediately opened the car door and jumped out. Staying any longer might not be enough for her heart...
"Hey! Xiaoyu, this is for you!" Zhong Li called out to Jiang Yu, casually tossing a beautifully crafted box into her lap and gesturing with his chin, "This is my lucky charm that I specially found for you. May you achieve great results in the finals!"
Jiang Yu took the box with both hands, her mind a jumbled mess. What did she mean? Why the sudden gift? Did this dress catch her eye today?
Shen Zhen was typing in the courtyard when she suddenly saw Jiang Yu walking over looking lost and disoriented, holding something in her hand.
As soon as Jiang Yu saw Shen Zhen, she immediately leaned against her like boneless lamb. "Zhenzhen, your husband was worried you'd be bored, so he specially had me brought over to keep you company. Tell me, you're not a child anymore, why do you need an adult to keep you company? I'm stuffed from this dog food."
Shen Zhen was taken aback; it turned out to be A Shu.
Shen Zhen was deeply moved. Her Ah Shu was so thoughtful and considerate that she could never bear to leave her again.
Jiang Yu reached out and tapped Shen Zhen's forehead with her finger. "Tsk tsk tsk, look at that infatuated expression, Shen Xiaozhen, you're hopeless! You're completely different from how you were a while ago! The glow of love is obvious to everyone!"
Shen Zhen blushed slightly, but pretended to be calm and said, "Ahem, scientific research shows that having a stable partner is beneficial to physical and mental health! So..."
Shen Zhen paused, then snatched the gift box from her hand. "Xiao Yu'er, just give in to Zhong Li!"
The two of them played around in the garden for a while, and then went to visit their grandmother together in the afternoon. The daytime passed by in such a lively and cheerful manner.
That night, after taking a shower, Shen Zhen lay in bed and felt that without Gu Yushu, every minute and second passed very slowly and was unbearable.
Finally, unable to sleep, Shen Zhen got up and casually snapped a picture of the night view outside her window and sent it to her. She's probably still busy, right? I wonder if she's thinking of her?
"Miss you.()"
Shortly after the message was sent, Gu Yushu made a video call.
Shen Zhen's heart skipped a beat. She quickly ran to the bathroom, applied some lipstick in front of the mirror, and swiftly pulled open her collar, revealing glimpses of skin that were incredibly alluring. Only then did she run back to bed, satisfied, and connect to the video call.
