Chapter 111 She hoped her girl could be as proud as a princess.
As Shen Wan and Chu Chu walked into the backyard, hearing Zhang Hua's name was like being doused with a bucket of cold water, sending a chill down her spine and making her shiver uncontrollably.
That bastard! He dares to come here again! What right does he have to ask for Tuantuan back? When Shen Wan gave birth to Tuantuan, they turned around and left as soon as they saw it was a girl, abandoning her and Tuantuan in that cold hospital. What right does he have?
Chu Chu looked at Shen Wan with a terribly gloomy expression. She knew all the suffering Shen Wan had endured. How dare the Zhang Hua family members show their faces here? It seemed she had to teach them a lesson, otherwise these people would never shut up!
Chu Chu turned around and made a phone call. She couldn't do anything illegal or criminal, but she was quite good at teaching people a lesson.
Chu Chu casually pressed Shen Wan down into the chair, squatted down, gently kneaded Shen Wan's hand, looked up at her with a hint of unruliness in her raised eyebrows, and said, "Xiao Wan, do you want to teach those who bullied you a lesson?"
Shen Wan lowered her eyes, looking at the bright and flamboyant face in front of her. Her heart gradually calmed down, a smile appeared on her lips, and she replied firmly, "Yes!"
Chu Chu shook her phone, put her arm around Chen Wan's waist, and leaned closer to ask, "Do you want to do it yourself, or find someone else to do it?"
The rich rose scent emanating from Chu Chu enveloped Shen Wan, making her heart pound. A blush slowly crept up her neck, and despite the low winter temperature, Shen Wan inexplicably felt warm.
Shen Wan was unwilling to be provoked by Chu Chu like this. She pressed down on Chu Chu's arm that was wrapped around her waist, leaned forward slightly, and her eyes were filled with a bright and fierce look. "How do you do it yourself?"
Chu Chu was slightly taken aback, then a wild smile bloomed on her lips. She knew they were different! Shen Wan was a rose blooming in the desert, with thorns.
"Okay, then we'll go together later."
Nights always fall earlier in the countryside, and the villages are exceptionally quiet.
Zhang Hua and Shen Guodong always liked to go out to play cards after drinking. They would walk home late at night, their steps uneven, and although they were used to taking the wrong path, it was unusually quiet tonight.
Before they even reached the village entrance, the two were surrounded by five or six people. They put sacks over their heads and began to be punched and kicked like raindrops.
"who?"
"Wait till I get out of here, I'll make you pay!"
"Ah! Let me go!"
The group fought silently and enthusiastically, when they looked up and saw Chu Chu and Shen Wan with a few other people carrying sticks.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Chu Chu. Chu Chu knew in her heart that Gu Yushu was teaching these two a lesson. What else was there to say? Join them!
Chu Chu raised her chin and rushed forward, delivering a hard blow with her stick. Shen Wan was even more ruthless, venting all her pent-up resentment from years past. Both of them are unforgivable! Whenever there's trouble at home, Shen Guodong always lets Chen Lin, that woman, take the lead, while he hides behind and reaps the benefits—his behavior is utterly disgusting!
"who?"
I'll beat you to death!
"Please...stop hitting me..."
Zhang Hua and Shen Guodong's voices grew softer and softer until they could only utter faint pleas for mercy!
...
The next day, Shen Zhen and her group packed their luggage early and got into the van to head back.
Before returning, I vaguely heard that Shen Guodong and Zhang Hua had been beaten half to death last night and dumped in a roadside ditch. Both of them were in the hospital now, and it was uncertain whether they would wake up.
That road was already remote, let alone having any surveillance cameras. They couldn't find the person, and the family didn't have the money for treatment.
Someone started the rumor that the two had done too many bad things and were now getting their comeuppance! The rumors spread, and since the two were already disliked in the village, their reputations were ruined even more.
...
After returning home in the evening, Shen Zhen was not in good spirits and took a shower early before going to bed.
Gu Yushu looked at the small lump on the bed, her heart ached slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she went to the study to get something and came back.
Gu Yushu gently ruffled Chen Zhen's exposed hair and asked softly, "Zhenzhen, are you asleep?"
Shen Zhen didn't move, and just grunted through her nose. She had been in a bad mood these past few days, and Yu Shu had let her be.
Gu Yushu dimmed the lights, carefully lifted the blanket, and pulled Shen Zhen into his arms, resting his chin on her head. "Zhenzhen, I have something to show you, but you can't laugh at me, okay?"
Shen Zhen sat up, leaning against Gu Yushu, looking listless and dispirited. "What is it?"
Gu Yushu took out a thick notebook and flipped through it page by page. Inside were photos she had taken during her time abroad, showing the places she had visited. Under each photo were her longing for Shen Zhen. At that time, she hated Shen Zhen for abandoning her, but she couldn't let go of her. She numbed herself by telling herself that Shen Zhen was waiting for her, writing down the details of every place she visited, thinking that one day when she returned, she would let Shen Zhen know how much she had missed her during their separation.
Shen Zhen listened quietly as Gu Yushu described the local customs and culture of these places. Her voice was deep and pleasant to hear.
The warmth of the embrace almost brought tears to Shen Zhen's eyes. She turned around, wrapped her arms around Gu Yushu's neck, her lips trembling slightly, her eyes red-rimmed. "A-Shu, do I deserve your love like this?"
Gu Yushu gently pecked Shen Zhen's lips, her voice tender and affectionate, her eyes filled with unwavering love. "Since you saved me, I can only repay you with my body."
Shen Zhen's eyelashes trembled slightly as she gently bit Gu Yushu's chin. "Yushu, did you teach Zhang Hua and Shen Guodong a lesson?"
Gu Yushu smiled, his warm fingertips gently pressing on Shen Zhen's reddened eyes, his nose brushing against her small nose. "If he weren't your father, I'd throw him into a ditch!"
Shen Zhen chuckled softly, her eyes glistening with moisture. "A-Shu, meeting you might have used up all my luck, which is why my family doesn't love me. How are you going to make it up to me?"
Gu Yushu reached out and tightly embraced Shen Zhen's slender and soft waist, gently caressing her skin as if feeling her warmth and touch.
She wanted her girl to live a free and unrestrained life, to laugh loudly and cry freely, without having to be humble to anyone, not even to her. Her girl should always hold her head high, proud as a princess.
Gu Yushu lowered his head, brought his lips close to Shen Zhen's ear, and said in a deep and gentle voice, "Zhenzhen, then I will treat you even better, and slowly unfold your life with my love."
Gu Yushu continued, "Baby, it's okay to cry when you're sad, it's okay to get angry with me, but don't torture yourself, don't be so hard on yourself. Grandma also wants you to be okay, understand?"
Shen Zhen's heart clenched, as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand. She gently stroked the notebook in her hand and slowly nodded, "Good, thankfully I still have you, Tuantuan, and Xiaowan..."
