Chapter 333: Don’t Want to Indulge Him_1


    When I tried to snatch the bag, he instead lifted it high up.


    As I tiptoed to reach it, something wrapped in a stic bag fell straight out of the open bag.


    It hit the concrete floor, emitting a crisp metallic sound…


    Gu Yuanzhou directly handed the bag to me, then bent over to pick it up.


    After tearing off the stic bag’s wrapping, there was a gleaming fruit knife inside.


    The air instantly solidified.


    He nced at the knife, then turned his head to look at me,


    “You came to see me with a knife?”


    “I, uh… do you need me to exin? Do you want to hear my exnation?”


    I bit my lower lip, striving to make myself appear calmer.


    I had initially thought Gu Yuanzhou would blow up in anger.<div>


    Unexpectedly, he gave me a deep look,


    “Speak! I’ll give you a chance to exin!”


    “Uh… This is a fruit knife. Ding Yinuo has been in the hospital, and he has recovered a lot recently. He wanted to eat an apple. I was nning to buy this knife to peel apples for him at the hospital.”


    “You are talking about aatose person eating apples?”


    “I told you, he’s awake! He’s regained consciousness now, he can write words in the palm of my hand…”


    “What words?”


    “Write… ‘Wife, I love you!’”


    I told him truthfully.


    This news, it was like a small joy in my heart.


    It was a defiant victory over the pressure imposed by Gu Yuanzhou.


    What I wanted to express was, I had won.


    Sure enough, Gu Yuanzhou’s attention was diverted by me, and he seemed to have neglected the matter with the fruit knife. He grabbed my arm, emphasizing repeatedly,


    “You are my wife, not his. Have you got that straight?”


    I remained silent.


    I watched himugh.


    I didn’t say a word; I justughed.


    Gu Yuanzhou was very angry, he threw the fruit knife into the trash can, and then grabbed my arm and got into the car.


    The car eventually stopped at a restaurant we used to frequent.


    After the car was turned off, he didn’t get out immediately but sat in the car smoking, his eyes filled with thick, unresolved gloom.<div>


    About three minutester, people began to arrive one after another.


    These were the people from his circle. Listening to their conversation, I learned that today there was a celebration banquet for some asion.


    When I got out of the car, many people had alreadye up to greet Gu Yuanzhou.


    “President Gu, congrattions! You’ve sessfully gained control of Huaxin Group!”<div>


    “Haha!”


    Gu Yuanzhou was spirited and triumphant…


    I silently followed behind him.


    Entering the banquet hall, we were met with even more people.


    They were all powerful figures of A City, the upper echelons of society, among whom, surprisingly, were quite a few who had once been friends with my uncle.


    Indeed, it’s a case of fair-weather friends; all these people had now turned to Gu Yuanzhou.


    Their allegiance also meant that from now on, Gu Yuanzhou would be the wealthiest man in this city.


    Everyone looked up to him.


    In such circumstances, even if my older cousin Song Siwen came back from abroad, the city no longer had a ce for him.


    He had be a lone man with no one to turn to, isted and helpless, unable to revive the Song Family’s past glory.


    “President Gu,e, let’s toast to you!”


    Amid the clinking of sses, I saw everyone treating Gu Yuanzhou with respect.


    It figures, in this world, it’s the victors who tell the stories and the losers who listen.<div>


    I sat quietly in the distance, watching this man like a sessful king receiving everyone’s respect.


    Ever since Gu Yuanzhou moved against the Song Family, I had been thinking, this man is too terrifying, I really can’t ept it, how could he do this.


    But then, he kept lowering my bottom line again and again.


    It shattered my worldview.


    He had done so many terrible things without any limits.


    Time and time again assaulting me.


    I’m numb now, nothing he does can shock me anymore.


    Now, when I see anything he does, all I can do is sit quietly, void of any emotion.


    The only thought thates and goes in my mind is how to kill him.


    Sometimes I even ask myself.


    Was he always like this, or did he change over time?


    I can’t figure it out, I have no answer.


    I once asked Wenya a simr question.<div>


    The answer Wenya gave me was,


    “Why do you even ask? A scumbag is a scumbag, whether he was always like this or became like thister. It just proves he’s a scumbag, and there’s no reasoning with that.”


    I forced a bitter smile, “There’s a difference. If he became like thister, at least it means I wasn’t blind before!”


    Wenya sighed,


    “Blind or not, what does it matter? If you were blind, would you regret it, me yourself? No way, let yourself off the hook, don’t twist yourself up. He’s a scumbag, just throw him in the trash.”


    In that brief moment I was dazed, Gu Yuanzhou had already taken a seat beside me, one hand draped over my shoulder, the other holding a ss of red wine to my lips.


    “Have a little!” he said.


    “I don’t drink alcohol!”


    “You used to drink a little!”


    He looked at me with a half-smile, which I ignored.


    He whispered in my ear,


    “Have a little, perform wellter!”


    As he said this, a wicked smile yed on his lips.<div>


    Arge hand quietly crept to the small of my back.


    In front of so many people, I didn’t make a scene but still stubbornly refused him.


    I can indeed drink, and I could finish that ss, but I just didn’t want to bend to his will.


    His fingers gently caressed my waist, with a rhythm that was identical to when he used to seekfort with me.


    This man, in bed, was like a warhorse.


    He had numerous tricks and positions.


    Even the suggestive gestures were the same.


    But just thinking that he had done these things with Ye Mengyan filled me with disgust.


    I straightened my spine,


    My defiance seemed to put him in an awkward position; from the looks in people’s eyes, I saw much contempt.


    It seemed everyone thought me a woman out of touch with reality, not giving Gu Yuanzhou face.


    After all, someone of his high status now, I ought to be trying to please him.


    But I refused…


    When the atmosphere turned awkward,


    The smile on Gu Yuanzhou’s face froze.


    That Mr. He advised me,


    “Ahem, beauty, don’t make Gu’s president lose face, okay? Drink it, drink up!”


    “Right, if Gu’s president tells you to drink, just drink! Why dawdle? Gu’s president inviting you to have a drink is giving you face, don’t reject it.”


    The few already seated couldn’t hold back any longer and began to encourage me to drink.


    Because, besides Gu Yuanzhou, no one present knew I was his wife…


    Haha, how ridiculous this world is.


    So many are willing to be dogs…


    But I didn’t want to indulge them, I directly knocked over the ss,


    “Whoever wants to drink, let them drink! If you are willing to be Gu Yuanzhou’s dogs, that’s your business. Don’t drag me into it!”


    As soon as I said this, the whole room fell silent.


    Gu Yuanzhou probably didn’t expect me to be so brazen, his face darkening instantly.
