Chapter 7: You’re Not Good to Begin With, You Don’t Need Others to Tell You

T.Z Tower, office.

Gu Yanzhi stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a glass of red wine. He was lost in thought as he gently swirled the glass, his eyes as deep as a cold pool. His thin lips parted,

“Her sudden change of heart, besides a scheme, I can’t think of anything else.”

He still had doubts. In just one day, she had undergone a drastic change. But even though he doubted, even though he already had an answer in his heart, he was still willing to indulge in it, unable to extricate himself.

“There must be a scheme, or there’s something she wants from you.” Shen Yu sneered.

He knew Ruan Yu, the spoiled and ungrateful young lady that Gu Yanzhi held in the palm of his hand. He didn’t have any good feelings for Ruan Yu.

As soon as Shen Yu said this, Gu Yanzhi’s eyes became even deeper.

Lu Jingzhou’s long legs were crossed casually, he leaned lazily on the sofa, “I don’t think so. The eyes of someone who loves another person can’t be hidden. Her eyes will tell you the answer.”

After hearing Lu Jingzhou’s words, Gu Yanzhi’s eyes regained some light.

The eyes of someone who loves another person can’t be hidden.

Eyes will tell you the answer.

Gu Yanzhi took a sip of the red wine in his glass, lowered his head and pondered. He recalled her gaze, it was so sincere, so tender and firm, without any impurities.

Shen Yu looked at Lu Jingzhou with dissatisfaction, “What do you know? Those actors act, you know whether it’s real or fake. Actors with superb acting skills can scheme and make you unable to see any flaws.”

Gu Yanzhi’s action of gently swirling the glass froze for a moment.

Was that it?

He felt complicated, the bitterness in his heart was indescribable.

“I don’t watch TV dramas.” Lu Jingzhou said rudely, he glared at Shen Yu with dissatisfaction, “You change women like you change clothes, stop misleading others, okay?”

Lu Jingzhou knew that Shen Yu had been hurt in love. After his white moonlight left the country, he was like a different person. He spent his days drinking and carousing, never truly falling in love, and he hated women. His thoughts were extreme.

He thought all women in the world were like his white moonlight.

Shen Yu wanted to say something else, but Gu Yanzhi frowned in displeasure, finished the red wine in his glass, and gave them the boot, “You’re both noisy, get out and argue.”

Lu Jingzhou: “…”

Shen Yu: “…”

Wasn’t it his question?

He gave him sincere advice, why did it end up being their problem?

Shen Yu stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and glanced at Gu Yanzhi, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, “You’re the big brother, you have the final say. I’m not going to waste time with you two, the girls are waiting for me.”

After saying that, he put on a cynical and world-weary smile and walked out of the office.

Lu Jingzhou shook his head helplessly when he saw his appearance. He stood up and went to Gu Yanzhi’s side, patted his shoulder, “Whether it’s a scheme or a change of heart, listen carefully, you’ll have the answer.” He paused and reminded him, “Don’t be too extreme with the little girl, I have something to do at the company, I’ll go back first.”

These two brothers of his had both lost themselves in love. He shook his head helplessly, sighed, and left the office.

The large office was left with only Gu Yanzhi, who was lost in thought.

Can a person’s eyes really not lie?

Gu’s Residence.

Ruan Yu and Mu Luo Xi were chatting happily. It felt like a century had passed since they last saw each other after being reborn. They had endless things to talk about.

At this time, a sweet voice came from outside the living room door. Before the person arrived, the voice came first, “Ayu, I’m here to see you.”

Tang Qingning walked in as if she were returning to her own home. She casually changed into her house slippers and walked in, not forgetting to tell Zhang Ma to make her a cup of coffee.

She acted like the mistress of the house.

Tang Ma’s face was ugly. She disliked Tang Qingning even more than her own spoiled young lady.

She had experienced a lot, and Tang Ma saw the real problem at a glance.

The conflict between her young lady and the sir was instigated by her.

Although she was dissatisfied with Tang Qingning, she had to listen, after all, she was close to the young lady, and the sir had specifically instructed her to take care of the young lady’s friend.

The moment Ruan Yu saw her, her hands clenched at her sides, her eyes flashed with intense hatred. She looked at Tang Ma, “Tang Ma, you don’t need to make coffee, you can go down now. I’ll call you if I need anything.”

Tang Ma was slightly shocked, and Tang Qingning’s face also turned ugly for a moment, then she replaced it with a smile.

Tang Ma left the living room. Tang Qingning smiled innocently and purely, completely different from the night she was reborn.

She wanted to hold Ruan Yu’s wrist, but Ruan Yu dodged her. The smile on her face couldn’t be maintained.

Tang Qingning looked at Mu Luo Xi, who was beside Ruan Yu, and she already had an answer. It must be this bitch who said something to her.

She gave Mu Luo Xi a disdainful look, then her face was full of grievance, tears welled up in her eyes, her soft and weak appearance was endearing.

But it was often these weak people who were ruthless when they hurt others, more vicious than anyone else.

“Ayu, why are you so strange today? Did someone say something bad about me in front of you?”

Tang Qingning glanced at Mu Luo Xi with a hint of meaning, her eyes were as if she had confirmed it was her.

She hated Mu Luo Xi anyway, just because this bitch kept ruining her good things.

She didn’t believe that Ruan Yu, that fool, would listen to Mu Luo Xi instead of her.

Today, she would definitely use Ruan Yu’s hand to teach this little bitch a lesson.

Ruan Yu looked at Mu Luo Xi beside her, a sneer curled up at the corner of her lips.

Tang Qingning thought that Ruan Yu was going to teach this bad woman a lesson for her, but she was so angry by Ruan Yu’s next words that her face turned green and white.

“You don’t need anyone to tell you, you’re not good to begin with.”

As soon as she said this, even Mu Luo Xi was shocked.

Tang Qingning gritted her teeth in hatred, forced a smile, and was about to sit down and think about it later.

But Ruan Yu interrupted her, “If you have anything to say, just stand there. Don’t dirty my sofa, I’m a neat freak.”

Looking at Tang Qingning’s angry and embarrassed expression, Mu Luo Xi was shocked by Ruan Yu’s words and coughed violently.

The orange juice she had just taken a sip of was sprayed all over Tang Qingning’s white skirt, leaving a yellow stain.

She was very shocked, after all, Ruan Yu was usually as gentle as a lamb, and she spoke softly, except for Gu Yanzhi.

But she had always been friendly to Tang Qingning, and their relationship was even better than hers.

What was going on today?

Ruan Yu’s gaze fell on Tang Qingning’s skirt. Looking at Mu Luo Xi’s masterpiece, a happy arc curled up at the corner of her lips.

Tang Qingning’s gaze fell on the stained hem of her skirt. She glanced at the upturned corner of Ruan Yu’s lips, and her reason was about to be consumed by the anger in her heart.

She used her remaining reason to suppress the urge to tear Ruan Yu apart.

Since she couldn’t touch Ruan Yu, Mu Luo Xi would do. An ordinary girl with no name or status, she dared to laugh at her.

“You bitch, you did this on purpose.” Tang Qingning lost her previous innocent and docile appearance. Now she was like a shrew cursing in the street.

She reached out to slap Mu Luo Xi in the face. Mu Luo Xi didn’t react, she closed her eyes reflexively.

Ruan Yu was quick-witted, she grabbed her wrist and twisted it hard, making her cry out in pain, her face contorted as she covered her arm.

“In my house, you hit my people, you have no manners. Who gave you the guts?” Ruan Yu’s eyes were fierce, she was no longer the gentle lamb she used to be. Now she was more like a big gray wolf.

Mu Luo Xi opened her eyes and looked at the handsome Ruan Yu, her eyes sparkling. If she were a man, she would definitely marry her. She was so cool.

She was simply awesome.

Ruan Yu released her grip on Tang Qingning’s wrist, she shook her hand in disgust, picked up a wet wipe from the table, and wiped it vigorously, she threw the paper towel in the trash can in disgust.

Tang Qingning pointed at Mu Luo Xi, who was watching the show on the sofa, and accused, “Ayu, what’s wrong with you? I’m the one who cares about you. This woman is approaching you with ulterior motives. Don’t be brainwashed by her, don’t be fooled by her.”

“You…” Mu Luo Xi was furious. She hadn’t done anything, how could she become the villain?

Yes, she admitted that she didn’t like Tang Qingning, but she hadn’t said a bad word about her in front of Ruan Yu.

Ruan Yu gently patted Mu Luo Xi’s shoulder to comfort her.

Tang Qingning thought her words had worked, “Ayu, you have to recognize who is a person and who is a ghost. Not everyone wants you to be well. The only ones who truly care about you are me and Brother Jiang Chen.” She looked at Ruan Yu’s face and continued,

“Last time you eloped with Brother Jiang Chen, you were caught and brought back. Brother Jiang Chen was worried about you, so he asked me to come and see you. That devil, Gu Yanzhi, did he hurt you?”

She looked at Ruan Yu with a sincere face, as if she was really worried about her.
