Chapter 59: Childhood Sweethearts, Two Little Kids

Office.

Shen Yu sat on the sofa in a carefree manner, his legs were propped up on the table, the cigarette between his fingers flickered on and off.

Gu Yan Zhi, behind the desk, frowned unhappily at him, “Get out and smoke.”

Shen Yu put out the cigarette in his hand, raised his eyebrows, “You never acted like this when I smoked before.”

In the past, Gu Yan Zhi and Ruan Yu’s relationship was like fire and water, there was often smoke and alcohol in the office, he himself often smoked, later the two reconciled, he gradually quit smoking.

Later, Ruan Yu often came to the office, when the smoke was heavy, she would cough a few times, from then on, Gu Yan Zhi wouldn’t let them smoke in the office.

Gu Yan Zhi’s voice was very faint, but there was an undeniable sweetness, “Things are different now.”

“Yes, yes, yes, everything is based on your wife, my brother’s feelings don’t matter.” Shen Yu said resentfully.

“Did Tang Qingning seduce you?” Gu Yan Zhi got up, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, opened half of the window, and dissipated the smoke in the office.

Shen Yu lowered his head and played with his phone, he said casually, “She’s the one who’s throwing herself at me, I’m just playing with her.”

He had countless fish in his pond, he had seen all kinds of women, Tang Qingning’s beauty was just a small shrimp in his pond.

“I don’t care who you play with.” Gu Yan Zhi said, “You keep an eye on Tang Qingning, if she does anything to hurt Ayu again, I’ll make her disappear from this world, and you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.”

This time, Ruan Yu was poisoned, Gu Yan Zhi originally wanted to make Tang Qingning disappear directly, but Ruan Yu refused, she said she wasn’t in a hurry.

Shen Yu was confused, “Why would I regret it because of your wife?”

He really didn’t understand, and he didn’t have any good feelings for Ruan Yu.

Gu Yan Zhi didn’t answer his question, “Also, she’s back.”

Shen Yu’s hand holding the phone paused, his eyes darkened for a few seconds, then he curled his lips, “She left.”

——

Because of the poisoning, Gu Yan Zhi asked Ruan Yu to rest at home for a few days, Guangyinji was left to Mu Luoxi.

She was a little uncomfortable being at home with nothing to do after being busy for so long.

Thinking about it, she got up and went to the kitchen to make soup, she decided to go to the Gu family’s old house to curry favor with her future mother-in-law.

Although Jiang Shiqing had accepted her, it was a reluctant acceptance, she was still cold to her most of the time, she had to keep trying.

Gu Family’s Old House.

As soon as she entered, Zhang Shen greeted her, respectfully, “Madam.”

Since she took a knife for Gu Yan Zhi, when she came back to the old house, Zhang Shen changed her address, from Miss to Madam, it seemed that Jiang Shiqing had allowed it.

“Is Aunt Jiang here?”

“Madam is in the backyard, I’ll take you there.”

Ruan Yu followed Zhang Shen to the backyard. In the gazebo, Jiang Shiqing was leisurely drinking tea, opposite her sat a girl who was about the same age as Ruan Yu, she had long, wavy, flax-colored hair that cascaded over her shoulders, she was wearing a white dress, she had a pair of pearl earrings, her skin was fair, she looked like a noble lady.

From a distance, the two of them seemed to be chatting happily, it was clear that Jiang Shiqing liked her.

Ruan Yu walked forward, “Aunt Jiang.”

Jiang Shiqing just glanced at her faintly, the girl opposite her nodded slightly at her, Ruan Yu politely curled her lips at her.

Ruan Yu put the soup in her hand on the table, “Aunt Jiang, I learned a new soup recently, try it.”

Jiang Shiqing’s expression didn’t change much, she just gave a faint “hmm”, “Sit down.”

She briefly introduced them, she learned from Jiang Shiqing that the girl’s name was Xu Jiu, she was the daughter of her friend, she had just returned from studying abroad.

When Jiang Shiqing introduced her, she said that she was Gu Yan Zhi’s girlfriend.

Xu Jiu’s face showed a subtle change when she heard that she was Gu Yan Zhi’s girlfriend, Ruan Yu caught it.

A girl’s sixth sense, Ruan Yu felt that Gu Yan Zhi was definitely not ordinary to this girl.

Ruan Yu sat there like an extra person, the two of them chatted happily, she was ignored, she just occasionally curled her lips.

After a while, she heard Xu Jiu say, “Aunt Jiang, do you remember? When I was a child, I was very naughty, I was playing by the pond, I slipped and fell into the pond, it was winter, it was Brother Yan Zhi who jumped in and pulled me out.”

Xu Jiu said, she intentionally looked at Ruan Yu, as if she was observing her reaction after hearing this.

“Of course I remember.” Jiang Shiqing said, “Yan Zhi came back home with his face blue from the cold, it took him a long time to recover, I was so worried.”

Seeing that Ruan Yu didn’t have any expression on her face, Xu Jiu continued, “If it hadn’t been for Brother Yan Zhi that time, I wouldn’t be in this world anymore. I remember that when Brother Yan Zhi pulled me out, his face was so black, he even scolded me, I was scared at that time, and I was being scolded, so my tears just flowed out,

I was angry for many days and didn’t talk to him, later Brother Yan Zhi brought me a limited edition doll, and I forgave him. Now that I think about it, I was really too willful at that time, Brother Yan Zhi was doing it for my own good.”

Although Ruan Yu knew she was being deliberate, she still felt a little sour in her heart, but she didn’t show it.

She didn’t expect that Gu Yan Zhi, who was cold and ruthless in front of outsiders, had also given girls dolls they liked.

Then, they chatted about many other interesting things, every topic revolved around Gu Yan Zhi.

The more she listened, the more uncomfortable Ruan Yu felt, she got up, “Aunt, I have something to do, I’ll go back first.”

Before Jiang Shiqing could speak, Xu Jiu stood up and looked at her, “I’m going shopping with Aunt Jiang, why don’t you come along?”

Jiang Shiqing also agreed, “Yeah, come along.”

Ruan Yu couldn’t refuse, so she nodded.

Jiang Shiqing said a word, then she went back to her room to change clothes.

Xu Jiu had never seen Ruan Yu before, she said, “How long have you known Brother Yan Zhi?”

“Ten years.” Ruan Yu didn’t want to have anything to do with her, but she answered her question out of politeness.

Xu Jiu didn’t expect that they had known each other for so long, and for these ten years, she had never known that there was such a woman by Gu Yan Zhi’s side.

“I’ve known Brother Yan Zhi for over twenty years, we’ve played together since we were little, childhood sweethearts, two little kids.”

She said it casually, but there was a strong sense of provocation and showing off.

Ruan Yu didn’t have much of an expression, “That’s a long time.”

But what’s the point of a long time, if Gu Yan Zhi really had romantic feelings for her, how could she have lived in the Gu residence for ten years.

It was clear that she was just in love with him, she had fought wits with Tang Qingning, these small fry were really not worth mentioning, she could see through her purpose at a glance.

“Sister, Brother Yan Zhi only treats me as his sister, don’t be angry.” Xu Jiu started to stir up trouble.
