Chapter 88 Single Dogs Don't Understand Romance
Shen Zhen had only been sitting for a short while when Gu Yushu called.
"Zhenzhen, what are you doing?" Gu Yushu's deep and pleasant voice came from the phone.
Before Shen Zhen could speak, Jiang Che asked in a high-pitched voice, "Sister, do you like me?"
Jiang Yu followed closely behind with a sly grin, calling out in a sweet, soft voice, "Sister Zhen, are you satisfied with my service?"
Shen Zhen covered the receiver and glared at the two of them fiercely. "Stop yelling! If my wife misunderstands, you're responsible for explaining!"
Then Shen Zhen hurriedly said to Gu Yushu, "It's the weekend today, and Jiang Che invited everyone to come out for lunch."
Jiang Che chimed in sarcastically, "When President Gu wasn't around, you called her 'Little Che'er,' but now that President Gu is calling, you call her 'Jiang Che.' Zhenzhen, you really are a heartless little bastard!"
Shen Zhen was amused by Jiang Che's exaggerated expression and said softly to Yu Shu, "I didn't drink today. I'll go back this afternoon after dinner. Don't listen to their nonsense."
Hearing the laughter and commotion from across the ocean, Yu Shu couldn't help but smile and replied softly, "Okay, then tell me when we get back."
Jiang Yu deliberately called out, "Zhenzhen, is President Gu worried about you? Afraid we'll run off with you?"
Shen Zhen hung up the phone, slowly picked up some food and put it in her mouth, then smiled with her eyes narrowed, "This is the fun between husband and wife, caring for and missing each other. How could you single dogs understand?"
Jiang Yu got up, went around behind Shen Zhen, put her arm around her shoulder, and exclaimed, "I can't eat this meal! I'm already full from all this PDA! Shen Xiaozhen, you have to have a meal with me next time!"
Zhong Li watched Jiang Yu making a scene without showing any emotion. They could have been like this, right? But... she unconsciously tightened her grip on her chopsticks. Did she still have a chance?
Although everyone had their own thoughts, they all enjoyed the meal.
After finishing their meal, Chu Chu walked to Chen Zhen's side and asked cautiously, "Zhen Zhen, shall I take you home?"
Shen Zhen smiled and shook her keys. "No need, I'll drive myself."
Shen Zhen pushed Shen Wan in front of her. "I have work to do when I get back. If you have time, could you please take Xiao Wan home? She recently found a job and has to go to work this afternoon."
Shen Wan paused for a moment, then lowered her head and stammered, "Sister, I... I can go by myself." For some reason, she felt inferior easily when she was around Chu Chu, and even dared not look at her.
Chu Chu paused for a moment, her gaze falling lightly on Shen Wan, and beckoned to her, "Let's go, I'll see you off."
Shen Wan looked at Shen Zhen for help, and Shen Zhen pushed her in front of Chu Chu and said with a smile, "Go ahead, I'm worried about you going by yourself. I'll pick you up tonight."
Shen Wan pursed her lips, nodded, and carefully followed.
Chu Chu opened the car door for Shen Wan, shoved her into the passenger seat, tapped the steering wheel impatiently with her fingers, and turned to ask coldly, "Would I eat people?"
Shen Wan didn't react for a moment, staring blankly at Chu Chu, "Huh? What?"
Chu Chu frowned, her thin lips parted slightly, "I'm asking you, would I eat people?"
Shen Wan unconsciously tightened her grip on the seatbelt, not daring to look Chu Chu in the eye, and stammered, "No...no..."
Chu Chu's eyes narrowed slightly with a smile. "Then why are you so afraid of me? And why do you keep avoiding me?"
Looking at Chu Chu's smiling face, Shen Wan felt her heart race. She stammered, unable to speak, and could only lower her head and whisper, "No...no..."
Shen Wan believed that beauty was harmful. Deep down, she was a ruthless person, but for some reason, she couldn't help but soften whenever she saw Chu Chu's bright and flamboyant face. Perhaps it was because she had lived in darkness for most of her short twenty-odd years, making her easily attracted to bright and beautiful things.
Chu Chu was amused and exasperated by her timid, wife-like behavior. Anyone who didn't know better would think Chu Chu had done something to her. Chu Chu considered herself fairly kind to Shen Wan, so she couldn't understand this girl. Every time she saw her, she acted as if she'd seen the King of Hell, terrified to death. How come she remembered this girl being quite skilled in martial arts?
Chu Chu stopped worrying about it. She was too lazy to guess what others were thinking, and asked indifferently, "Where are we going?"
Shen Wan, clutching her seatbelt, whispered, "Coffee shop on XX Road."
Shen Wan didn't want to rely entirely on Shen Zhen, so she found a job at a coffee shop during the day and enrolled in night school to improve herself. She thought she should also live a normal life. Having her sister and Tuantuan was good enough.
Chu Chu didn't say anything, but after dropping Shen Wan off, she inexplicably parked the car a short distance away. Through the car window, she could vaguely see Shen Wan's busy figure.
Chu Chu thought the Shen sisters possessed a certain resilience, always able to survive even in dire straits; they only submitted to their lovers. Perhaps that was why she had fallen irrevocably in love with Shen Zhen?
...
Welcome!
Shen Wan said these words with a smile, but when she looked up, she froze.
Time seemed to freeze. Upon seeing who it was, her eyes turned cold and stiff. After a long pause, she managed to squeeze out two words through gritted teeth: "It's you?"
Yang Yao's lips curled up slightly, carrying a hint of barely perceptible arrogance. "Can we talk?"
Shen Wan's face remained expressionless as she replied calmly, "I don't think we have anything to talk about, besides..."
At this point, Shen Wan paused slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes, "The Yang family is also in dire straits now, isn't it? Why don't you think about discussing business instead of coming here to talk about something else?"
Yang Yao seemed to have anticipated Shen Wan's reaction. She smiled nonchalantly, then walked to the table, sat down, picked up the menu, and said with a faint smile, "I'll start with a coffee!"
Shen Wan frowned, her beautiful eyes filled with wariness. She stared intently at the other person and said coldly, "What exactly do you want?"
Yang Yao's lips curled up slightly, her gaze lingering on Shen Wan's wary face. She said with a half-smile, "Miss Shen, there's no need to be so nervous. I mean no harm. I've come here simply to discuss a collaboration with you. A collaboration that will satisfy both of us."
Shen Wan inwardly sneered. What was there to say to this eldest daughter of the Yang family? After the last banquet, Yu Shu had already pushed the Yang family to the brink of bankruptcy. Yang Yao was nothing but a clown now; what new tricks could she possibly pull?
Shen Wan quietly clenched her fists and asked calmly, "What kind of cooperation? Miss Yang is in dire straits herself right now. We've all seen how miserable Zhao Jingjing is now, whom you dragged into this mess. Does Miss Yang also want to drag me down with her?"
Yang Yao calmly shook her head. "Our cooperation is a win-win situation. I will become Mrs. Gu, and you can get everything you want: a daughter, money, and freedom."
