Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Shushu, let's elope
"Zifeng, Zifeng, what are you doing?" Wen Meilan frantically came forward to pull Ye Zifeng back.
Ji Chunni also came forward to pull at him, glaring at Ye Shu as she did so, "You money-losing goods, you've handed over the entire Ye Group on a silver platter, and that's still not enough? You still want to bring harm to our family's Zifeng? Get lost, get lost, get out of here!"
"Mom, Grandma, how can you not distinguish between right and wrong? What did Sister do wrong? The one at fault is that bastard Gu Zuocheng! Don't try to stop me, I'll kill him right now!"
Ye Zifeng, young and brash, had always been pampered and spoiled by his family; he wouldn't bother with consequences, only wanting to vent Ye Shu's grievances.
Like a small wild animal gone mad, he furiously tried to pounce on Gu Zuocheng.
Ye Shu could ignore Wen Meilan; she could disregard Ji Chunni, but she couldn't let Ye Zifeng stain his hands for her sake.
Who knew if Gu Zuocheng, in a fit of madness, would send Ye Zifeng to the police station?
Ye Shu stood in front of Ye Zifeng, "Zifeng, if you truly care about your sister, then go to school obediently from now on and become a successful person who can one day restore our Ye Family."
"Sister...!" Ye Zifeng wasn't convinced.
Gu Zuocheng wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up, and offered to carry Ye Shu's luggage, "Shushu, all I want is for you to have dinner with me one more time, as a family, harmoniously."
A family? Wasn't it laughable to even mention those words between them now?
Ye Shu was about to speak when she heard the sound of a car horn outside.
Ye Shu directly grabbed the handle of her suitcase, "Young Master Gu's family is next door, it's not a good habit to knock on the wrong door!"
"That's right, your family is those two bastards Ye Shengli and Ye Xinyu, they have nothing to do with us, pah!"
Ye Zifeng spat on Gu Zuocheng's face.
Pushing Gu Zuocheng aside, Ye Zifeng grabbed the suitcase's handle, "Sister, I'll see you off!"
Ye Shu didn't refuse, and the siblings walked shoulder to shoulder towards the exit.
Ji Chunni and Wen Meilan, afraid that Gu Zuocheng would hold a grudge against Ye Zifeng, kept apologizing profusely.
Gu Zuocheng, growing impatient, pushed them away and hurried after them.
In July, around five o'clock, the sunlight outside was still glaring.
A flash of blue light nearly blinded Gu Zuocheng, but when he fixed his gaze, he froze in place.
On Ye Shu's earlobe dangled the blue diamond earrings, their significance he knew all too well.
Outside, Guan Jiu saw Ye Shu emerging and stepped out of the black nanny car.
He approached, took the suitcase from Ye Zifeng's hand, and placed it in the trunk. Then, with the utmost respect, he opened the car door, "Miss Ye, please."
Ye Shu nodded and was about to get into the car.
Suddenly, Gu Zuocheng rushed forward, seizing Ye Shu's hand urgently, "Shushu, I've thought it over, let's elope."
Elope? What kind of act was Gu Zuocheng putting on now?
"I had arranged with your uncle to put on these blue diamond earrings together with you, but now that uncle is gone, it is my responsibility to—"
So that was it!
Ye Shu's slender fingers gently twirled the blue diamond earring on her ear, smiling lightly, "I forgot to tell Young Master Gu, while you were frolicking with Ye Xinyu, I... got married."
Ye Shu calmly pushed Gu Zuocheng's hand away, smiling as she closed the car door behind her.
The black nanny car roared off.
Gu Zuocheng stood petrified, unable to move an inch.
So her words, that she wasn't indispensable, weren't said in anger? She truly had gotten married.
Gu Zuocheng suddenly realized he had yet to ask whom she married.
He started running, desperately chasing after the black nanny car.
