Chapter 126 Yu Li's Side Story: Zhong Li, you bastard!
Jiang Yu greeted Zhong Li daily, not caring whether she replied or not. She waited for Zhong Li at her apartment entrance in the morning and picked her up from work on time in the evening. Those around Zhong Li never missed a morning coffee or afternoon tea. Gradually, everyone in the Gu Corporation knew that President Li had a beautiful, enthusiastic, and charming admirer, and everyone started betting on when President Li would accept her.
Jiang Yu sighed and lamented in the dance studio every day, looking at herself in the mirror, unable to understand why she didn't like him. He had the figure, the face. No matter how she thought about it, she felt she and Zhong Li were a perfect match—their names matched, their looks matched, their personalities matched, and their heights were just right! It would be an injustice if they weren't together!
Jiang Yu grew angrier the more she thought about it, and couldn't help but send Zhong Li a message: "I have something to do tonight, you can go home by yourself!"
When Zhong Li received the message, she was both amused and exasperated. It seemed the woman hadn't even asked her to pick her up. This person had forcefully entered her life, and none of her subordinates had a bad word to say about her. They all seemed to have tacitly agreed that they would accept this bright and beautiful girl.
Zhong Li couldn't quite describe her feelings. She felt that Jiang Yu was like a passionate fire, stirring up her stagnant, routine life and bringing it to life. The most outrageous thing she had ever done was refuse to join the Zhong family business, not wanting to live the life her parents had planned for her. Jiang Yu was an unexpected turn of events for her, and she didn't have the courage to accept her now.
In a noisy bar at night.
Through the window, Zhong Li could clearly see that the person who said he wouldn't come to pick her up was now sitting in a booth downstairs with another girl. From her angle, she could even clearly see the coquettish and aggrieved expression on Jiang Yu's face.
Zhong Li pursed his thin lips tightly, his eyes dark and unfathomable. He couldn't help but scoff inwardly. He told her he liked her every day, and this was her love? If she didn't accept it, she would go find someone else?
An inexplicable anger rose within Zhong Li, who couldn't quite explain why she felt this way—restlessness and unease.
This emotion reached its peak after Jiang Yu finished dancing on stage. Zhong Li followed Jiang Yu to the restroom, deliberately blocking her way as she came out.
When Jiang Yu came out of the restroom, she immediately spotted Zhong Li, who was hiding in the shadows. Zhong Li was already tall and slender, and now that she was deliberately blocking the way, Jiang Yu couldn't pretend she didn't see her.
"Excuse me, could you please move aside?" Jiang Yu said calmly, her face deliberately cold.
Zhong Li remained motionless, brazenly scrutinizing the girl before him in the darkness. Her red halter-neck dress accentuated her figure, and her slightly pursed, bright red lips revealed faint teeth marks. The thought of Jiang Yu's recent intimacy with that girl ignited a surge of anger within Zhong Li.
Just as Jiang Yu was about to walk over, he grabbed her arm and threw her against the wall.
"Hiss!" Jiang Yu's beautiful eyebrows furrowed, her eyes glaring at Zhong Li, and she roared, "Zhong Li, are you sick in the head?!"
Zhong Li looked down at her with a playful gaze, his hand caressing her waist. "Didn't you say you were going to pursue me? What? Changed your target?"
Jiang Yu found this person inexplicable, and her eyes turned red with anger. She raised her leg and kicked at her.
Zhong Li was prepared. He pressed down on her, his long legs against the base of her fair thighs, gently caressing them as he watched the subtle changes in Jiang Yu's expression.
Jiang Yu put her arm around her shoulder and kissed her passionately, their bodies locked in a tight embrace. In the darkness, the wet sounds of their intertwined lips and tongues were especially clear. Zhong Li, panting, released her and whispered, "Come to my place?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu's romantic fantasies vanished, and her heart sank. Zhong Li's agreement to let her have sex should have been a happy thing, so why was she so sad at this moment?
Before I could even process what was happening, my hand had already struck.
The crisp sound of a slap was drowned out by the noisy music. Jiang Yu's body trembled uncontrollably; the string of her love snapped completely at that moment. No matter how much she joked around, her body couldn't resist.
"Zhong Li, I don't like you anymore! Don't ever show your face in front of me again, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
Jiang Yu gave her a fierce warning, then grabbed her and ran out.
......
After that, Jiang Yu deliberately avoided Zhong Li. Strangely enough, she hadn't run into Zhong Li even once before, no matter where she was.
Zhong Li saw Jiang Yu again at the Gu family's banquet. Jiang Yu was breathtakingly beautiful that day. Zhong Li had known Jiang Yu was beautiful before, and that night she even had the thought of hiding her away. She thought, what's wrong with occasionally going off the rails?
After Yu Shu and Shen Zhen, Zhong Li took Jiang Yu to meet the competition judges. Even though they hadn't drunk much, the two of them somehow ended up sleeping together. When Zhong Li woke up the next day, the person beside her was already gone, and the glaring red on the bed made her tremble. In an instant, she understood why Jiang Yu had reacted that way at the bar.
Zhong Li was unsure of her own emotions. She was infatuated with Jiang Yu's love, but lacked the courage to be with her openly. She didn't have the courage to tell her parents all this; how could she tell them that their daughter liked women? She couldn't bring herself to say it, yet she also couldn't refuse Jiang Yu.
All Zhong Li could do was help Jiang Yu remove those discordant voices online; she wanted to pretend nothing had happened. But every time she woke up in the middle of the night, Jiang Yu's face, flushed with desire, and the tears in her eyes, would appear in her dreams. How could she forget?
On Jiang Che's birthday, Zhong Li heard that Jiang Yu had gone back, so she went there without thinking. Jiang Yu was still the same as before, saying the most unrestrained things, but as long as she teased her a little, Jiang Yu would become shy.
Zhong Li kept testing, kept trying to confirm that Jiang Yu loved her. They spent time together, and Jiang Yu repeatedly asked her what their relationship was. Zhong Li couldn't answer. She watched the hope in Jiang Yu's eyes fade away, inch by inch. She hated her own weakness; her calm and composed demeanor was merely a facade, her true nature cold and selfish. Zhong Li craved Jiang Yu's kindness and didn't want her to leave, yet she dared not confess her love.
They found a delicate balance in this relationship, and Jiang Yu gradually stopped asking questions, which secretly relieved Zhong Li.
Zhong Li just didn't expect the imbalance to come so quickly.
That night, Zhong's mother arranged a blind date for her. Jiang Yu cried out in anguish, "Zhong Li, you bastard!"
Zhong Li simply kept her head down, her hands clenched into fists, and sat there silently, never once glancing at her.
Only after Jiang Yu was taken away by Shen Zhen did Zhong Li look up blankly at the empty doorway. It felt as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out, the pain making it hard to breathe. At that moment, Zhong Li truly realized that she might really lose Jiang Yu forever.
