She slowly turned her head.
Only then did he realize that he was lying in Gu Lianzhou's room, but Gu Lianzhou himself was nowhere to be seen.
She stretched out her hand and stared at her fingertips, which were translucent in the sunlight and seemed to still retain his warmth.
She couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a slight smile.
Then I turned my head and looked at the other side of the bed. The blankets and pillows were neatly arranged, as if no one had ever lain on them.
She crawled over as if possessed, buried her face in the pillow, and took a deep sniff.
A wisp of extremely clear, faint, and dry scent wafted out.
It smells like Gu Lianzhou's cooking.
She hugged her pillow, rolled around on the bed a couple of times, and her smile widened.
...
Gu Lianzhou went to the company early in the morning.
He never imagined he would one day be in such a sorry state, fleeing as if he were hiding from some raging flood or ferocious beast.
Before leaving home, he specifically instructed the maid not to clean his room.
They were afraid they would find out that Shen Zhiyi had spent the night there.
He pursed his lips and sat in the company for several hours before finally figuring out the reason behind Shen Zhiyi's actions.
It must be because of that bottle of medicine.
He added a tiny amount of the powder to his milk every day.
If taken long-term, it can amplify feelings of anxiety and unease, making one feel particularly insecure.
At this point, as long as you stay by her side every day, solve all her problems, and take care of all her affairs, she will consider you her only reliable source of support.
I poured all my sense of security into him.
In the end, she will become so dependent on him that she will be afraid of losing him and will obey his every word.
He didn't expect it to take effect so quickly.
The calm in Gu Lianzhou's eyes shattered, gradually turning into a fanatical and obsessive light.
He will clear away all obstacles.
As for her...
"Ring ring—"
His phone rang abruptly, interrupting his thoughts.
Gu Lianzhou glanced at the number.
He was the assistant who stayed outside the villa to monitor Shen Zhiyi's movements.
He answered the phone, his voice cold and sharp.
"explain."
"Mr. Gu, Miss has gone out and is currently having dinner with Shen Zhang at the restaurant."
Shen Zhang?
Gu Lianzhou frowned slightly.
"Listen to what they have to say, and tell me in a bit."
He hung up the phone, stared at the document on the table that read "Shareholders' Meeting," and tapped it lightly with his knuckles.
If she decides to stand with Shen Zhang, then she shouldn't blame him, her "brother," for showing no mercy.
Dining room.
Shen Zhang smiled kindly: "Zhiyi, you've just come back, so there are many things you don't know."
“Lianzhou, after all… is not a true descendant of the Shen family.”
"We're family!"
“But…” Shen Zhiyi held the teacup with both hands, somewhat awkwardly, “My brother is very good to me. He took me home, protected me at the party, and even taught me about the company…”
“Silly child,” Shen Zhang interrupted, “He’s only nice to you now because your father is still alive.”
"If something really happens to our eldest brother, see if he still harbors his wolfish ambitions."
“Listen to your second uncle, let’s join forces at the shareholders’ meeting and bring him down.”
"Once we get back the shares from him, my second uncle will definitely..."
"Second Uncle!" Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath, her soft face bathed in sunlight, revealing a hint of determination. "My brother genuinely helped me; he's not the kind of person you're describing, Second Uncle."
“My father is sick, and my brother is the only one supporting the family. He works so hard every day, yet he still takes the time to teach me. How can I be ungrateful and hurt him in return?”
She noticed a furtive figure not far away.
His eyes flickered.
Raising her voice, she said, "My brother is also my family."
"Regardless of whether his surname is Shen or not, I will always treat him as my older brother."
"In that case, please don't say it again, Second Uncle."
