Chapter Eighty-Four: Temptation on the Edge
Shen Zhuxi's physical condition at this time had reached its limit, and a strong smell of blood poured into her throat again, but she swallowed it hard, and her heart was as uncomfortable as being eaten by ten thousand insects, but ......
She can't show her vulnerability!
In today's tough battle, she will take the lead no matter what!
Even if Gu Huaizuo wants to say something hurtful or make a move that disappoints her, she has to hold on. And all this persistence now depends on the only belief that sustains her.
She had the sequelae of a car accident, and her condition was not completely healed at that time, and she was still running back and forth, and now it was time for retribution to come. Just when she was so helpless and panicked, there was surprisingly no one around.
"Calm down, don't do anything stupid!" Shen Zhuxi gritted the tip of her teeth and bit the tip of her tongue, wanting to refresh herself, but the pain made her stay sane for a short time.
However, when Gu Huaizuo looked at her with a worried face, everything seemed pale and powerless.
"Xi'er, I'm ......" Gu Huaizuo lowered his eyes with guilt, not knowing how to redeem Shen Zhuxi's trust in him.
"Hmph, Huaizuo, do you remember what you promised me?" Shen Li squinted and glared at her uncompetitive son with displeasure. He is still too tender, so easy to trap in the trap of love, the devil knows what this woman has in mind!
Shen Li has always had a deep prejudice against Shen Zhuxi, and always felt that this poor girl and Gu Huaizuo had ulterior motives together.
"Mrs. Gu, I think there is something you haven't figured out yet!" Shen Zhuxi had to remind again, even if Gu Huaizuo was standing by her side now, she was relieved.
She didn't mind letting him have a deeper preconception of herself, it wasn't possible anyway, was she?
"Dead girl, you dare to threaten me!?" Shen Li's voice suddenly sharpened, and she stared at Shen Zhuxi with a near-roaring look, and that cruel look seemed to want to tear her apart in an instant.
The cold wind of the night blew in wisps, blowing on Shen Zhuxi's jade-like goose egg face, and the silver moonlight refracted through the window, making her look like she had crossed a layer of silver.
And she calmly and fearlessly met Shen Li's gloomy gaze, shrugged her shoulders indifferently, and followed Shen Li's words with an indifferent face: "It's up to you, after all, I have no power or power, and I'm not afraid of offending you." ”
After saying that, she left her with a meaningful look.
And she was like a night elf at this time, revealing an ethereal and cunning beauty on her whole person, which shocked Gu Huaizuo at once. He seemed to immediately embrace her, but the only remaining reason made him struggle a little, and he still dispelled the thought.
Shen Li opened her eyes suddenly, and her vicious gaze flashed, but she immediately showed a kind look.
"Girl, you really misunderstood your aunt. She glanced at Shen Zhuxi with disgust, as if she was reproaching her for being ignorant1, completely looking like a big family, so that people couldn't find any fault.
What's going on!?
Shen Zhuxi immediately frowned when she heard this, her eyes were dark, and she squinted dangerously at Shen Li, wanting to see some flaws in her. However, Jiang is still old and spicy, and she can't see anything.
After half a ring, she smiled faintly as if nothing had happened, and turned away.
What kind of medicine is this woman selling in her gourd, and why did she suddenly change her face so quickly!? Is there any plan? But these thoughts only flashed through her mind, and she went to find Chu Kuo's parents in a blink of an eye.
"Stop!"
After Shen Zhuxi left, Gu Huaizuo immediately followed, but how could Shen Li let him go so easily, and immediately stopped him coldly.
His figure immediately froze, and a shallow embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but in an instant, his gaze returned to calmness again.
"What does Mother command?" Gu Huai's left mouth curled with sarcasm, this mother of his, who liked to control everything about him since he was a child, seemed to be a high emperor.
He has turned a blind eye to what Shen Li has done over the years, thinking that he could barely spend his life like this, but he didn't expect her methods to become more and more arrogant.
"You!" Shen Li was shocked, Gu Huaizuo had never spoken to her in such an impatient tone before, but .......
However, she knew that things would be opposed, so it was not good to interfere with him now.
A cold aura gradually spread around them, Gu Huaizuo's body was filled with a murderous aura that could freeze people to death in an instant, and the air around him condensed into frost, and the tyrannical aura could suffocate people.
Shen Li suddenly felt a little weak, and her momentum immediately withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. In this family, Gu Huaizuo's right can cover the sky with one palm, and she can only rely on her son.
Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied she is at this time, she can't show it in front of him. After all, in terms of his love, she has already managed too much, and if she cares too much as a mother, they will be unfamiliar. Haha Literature Network
In the end, she still sighed, shook her head in disappointment, and added, "Don't worry, I won't interfere in the affairs of the Chu family." ”
The bird is big and its wings are stiff. He was an eagle and should be soaring in the sky, so she still couldn't control her son.
"Thank you so much. Gu Huaizuo thanked him stiffly, but no emotion flashed in his eyes, and the whole person looked rusty and indifferent, which made Shen Li freeze directly, but Gu Huaizuo didn't say anything, and turned around and left directly.
"Ahem-" Shen Zhuxi staggered to a sparsely populated place, she was coughing all the way, her slender white fingers had long been stained with red blood, and even the skirt of her evening dress was not spared.
Her body has been weakening since the car accident, and she has been coughing up blood for unknown reasons lately. However, she didn't dare to find anyone to explain this, so she could only hold it in her heart.
However, compared to her physical discomfort now, the damage to her soul is the deepest and heaviest. Shen Zhuxi weakly continued to walk forward, but after only a few steps, his legs and feet were weak and he almost fell directly to the ground.
"Be careful!" An exclamation immediately came from not far away, and before Shen Zhuxi could hear what he was talking about, he was already hugged into a full embrace.
There seemed to be a layer of black fog all around this old forest, and except for a few abrupt bird calls, even the sound of needles falling could be heard quietly.
Who is it!?
Shen Zhuxi was puzzled, but he immediately opened his eyes and hurriedly pushed away the person who was holding him tightly. However, due to the disparity in strength between men and women, she couldn't shake the man who hugged her, and immediately raised her head anxiously.
The evening breeze crept in, blowing away a few strands of hair on her forehead, and just the familiar crisp breath swept in. Shen Zhuxi's heart moved slightly, and he opened his mouth to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything, and his voice seemed to be hoarse.
The faint smell of blood diffused all around, Gu Huai frowned left, sensed that something was wrong, and immediately held Shen Zhuxi's hand tightly and put it in front of him. As expected, her fists were covered in blood.
When did it happen?
Just when Gu Huaizuo's heart was in an uproar, Shen Zhuxi directly pushed his hand away, and said with a faint expression: "Mr. Gu, please respect yourself!"
Hearing this, his heart immediately sank to the bottom, and his face turned blue with anger. The deep eyes stared at Shen Zhuxi's delicate face, trying to find a flaw, but he was disappointed.
"Shen Zhuxi, do you know what you're talking about?" Gu Huaizuo asked in a cold voice, he pinched her jaw mercilessly, eager to crush it immediately, but he was reluctant.
All her feelings for him had been shattered in today's cold and merciless eyes, and there was nothing left.
Even if he was doing it at the time, her heart still couldn't accept it. She didn't want to know the truth of what happened at that time, all that resounded in her mind was the despair at that time, and she was afraid that she would not be able to repeat it in this life.
"I miss you so much. Without waiting for the answer Shen Zhuxi wanted, he immediately hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub the person in front of him into his bones.
Shen Zhuxi had another blow in her heart, she no longer believed in Gu Huaizuo's feelings for herself, and she didn't want her liking to be humbled to the dust.
"Cheng Yu is not with you?" she closed her eyes gently, and at that moment there was endless exhaustion in her eyes, but she was deeply hidden.
And it is this sentence that directly indicates her attitude and represents her position.......
Gu Huaizuo didn't expect Shen Zhuxi to say this, staring at her in astonishment, wanting to see through her. He thought that she was empathetic and would understand her good intentions, especially when he heard Shen Zhuxi's words outside the door at that time, his mood suddenly felt like March sunshine.
Unexpectedly, he still didn't understand his intentions, but misunderstood his original intentions.
"Shen Zhuxi, you know that what I like is you, she is just acting on the spot. Even if Gu Huaizuo didn't want to have any argument with her, he couldn't help but refute at this time and fight for his reputation.
He looked at Shen Zhuxi, who was not moving in the mountains, and immediately felt panicked, this feeling as if something was moving away from you, once you let go now, you would never be able to hold on.
"Please respect yourself, there is nothing between us anymore. She forcefully pushed Gu Huaizuo away, the blood in her hands had dried up and stuck to her hands, just like the matter between them, imprinted in her heart.
"I ......." He wanted to explain something more, but Shen Zhuxi didn't give him this opportunity at all and left directly.
And by this time, the dinner party had long since ended. All the people had already dispersed, and Shen Zhuxi hurried to the gate of Gu's house, and couldn't help frowning when he saw a group of servants who were cleaning up the mess.
She originally planned to find Chu Kuo's parents, but later the old illness recurred, and she chose the grove. But I didn't expect to just stay in it for a while, and now the banquet has come to an end.
I didn't see Chu Kuo's parents when I trotted all the way over just now, Shen Zhuxi looked at the empty gate, and only felt a lot of pressure. This villa is quite far from the city and there are generally no cars passing by, if she is allowed to walk back......
Shen Zhuxi couldn't believe it, but now she really couldn't find Chu Kuo's parents, so she still stepped out of the door and chose to walk outside the door for a while before considering a solution.
At this time, Gu Huaizuo was chasing behind, and he had to explain these things clearly no matter what today.
