The attendant still refused to give up, "Miss Shen, the young master only wants to see you once!"
Want to meet? When she was framed, he didn't see her. When he was ill in bed, he didn't see her. But now he wants to meet her. What a joke!
Shen Zi said calmly, "Lead the way!"
After hearing this, Ling Shuang tried to persuade her, "Miss... that's Mr. Gu Xiaohou!"
Shen Zi didn't say anything, and just followed the waiter and turned around and entered the restaurant next to her.
At the hidden back door, Mr. Gu Xiaohou, who used to sit high in the clouds, is now a bit thin and haggard. He stands at the door, under an umbrella, and looks towards Shen Zi.
"The daughter of the common people has met the young Marquis." Shen Zi's seven short words showed their current identities.
Gu Jingheng's breath trembled, and a hot light suddenly burst out in his eyes, with a self-deprecating smile on his face, "Is this the only way we can talk between you and me?"
"Master Gu Xiaohou, after today, you should understand that there is no possibility for you and me."
"Zi'er, even you don't believe me..." Gu Jingheng calmed down and said softly, "I didn't do that thing!"
The wind and snow were falling, and Shen's frail figure stood not far away, with the veil hanging from her bamboo hat covering her face.
Shen Zi knew that he didn't do that, but did it mean anything? Can it wipe out what he had done in his previous life? Can it make up for the harm he and Lu Li had caused her in the previous life?
She is no longer the original Shen Zi, so she will not be shaken by his words.
"Master Gu, please respect yourself and call me Miss Shen." After saying that, Shen Zi took two steps back and distanced herself from Gu Jingheng.
Gu Jingheng stood there, watching Shen Zi's actions as if nothing had happened. He continued, "Miss Shen, you know there is no way I would do this!"
"Then what? Don't forget, Mr. Gu Xiaohou, that you will marry Miss Lu as your wife soon!"
Gu Jingheng thought Shen Zi was angry about his marriage to Lu Li, so he seemed to be coaxing and said, "If you are willing...wait for me for a few years..."
He didn't say anything else later. Shen Zi obviously understood what Gu Jingheng meant, wait for him? Why should she wait for him? She couldn't wish for this marriage to be canceled, so why would she take the initiative to jump into the wolf's den again.
However, she still felt a sudden chill in her heart. Although Lu Li took the initiative to come to her door, she was only devoted to Gu Jingheng. In the end, with him...
What's more, Gu Jingheng had wanted to use him as a chess piece all along, but meeting him now was probably a roundabout way. If Shen Zi in the previous life heard this, she would definitely be extremely happy, but now she won't.
Shen Zi remained calm, "Gu Xiaohou, you worry too much. If you miss some things, you will miss them..."
"Zi'er...it was all an accident! As long as you..."
Shen Zi couldn't listen to what Gu Jingheng said next, so she interrupted, "If the young marquis has nothing else to say, then the daughter of the people will retreat."
After saying that, Shen Zi turned around and was about to leave.
"What about the Shen family? Don't you care about the Shen family?" Gu Jingheng asked.
Hearing this, Shen Zi stopped and asked, "Is the young marquis threatening me?"
Gu Jingheng's mood gradually became a little irritable, "Zi'er, that's not what I meant!"
Shen Zi secretly thought, isn't that what he meant? She was so uncontrollable just because she was not as good as he wanted. What did she see in him in her previous life? That would lead to the destruction of her family?
A cold light flashed through, Gu Jingheng covered his arms and said in disbelief, "Zi'er, you..."
Shen Zi didn't know when a dagger appeared in her hand, and she said sternly, "Please respect yourself, little Marquis, you and I have nothing to say!"
"You!" Gu Jingheng was a little unbelievable that she was so guarded against him. She was not like this before. Although she had a cold temper, at least he knew that she cared about him!
"Zi'er, do you and I really want to do this?"
"I dare to ask the little Marquis, if someone threatens your family's life, will you still get along with them calmly?" Shen Zi clenched the dagger hard, her body trembling a little.
"No, Zi'er, that's not what I meant, it's just..." Gu Jingheng explained repeatedly, ignoring the wounds on his hands.
Gu Jingheng didn't know why he was like this. He just wanted to talk to Shen Zi. Although in his father's plan, the Shen family was just a ladder, he just couldn't help it.
"No? Could it be that the young Marquis is forgetful and forgot what he just said?" Shen Zi had a resolute expression and a pair of eyes with a cold light.
"Little Marquis, I know you have Lu Li and have wanted to get rid of me a long time ago, otherwise you would not collude with her and let her frame me without coming forward."
Gu Jingheng didn't expect that Shen Zi would say this, let alone that she knew everything. His face instantly darkened, "What else do you know?"
"What do you know? If others don't know, unless you don't do anything, little Marquis, there is no airtight wall in the world." Shen Zi replied coldly.
How could Gu Jingheng admit this? But he must not let Shen Zi speak anymore. There was a fierce look in his eyes...
"Young Master, do you want to kill people and silence them?" Shen Zi smiled coldly, and her body that was trembling just now suddenly stood up straight.
Gu Jingheng was stunned, "Did you call someone?"
"What do you think?" Shen Zi raised her lips indifferently.
Gu Jingheng never expected that Shen Zi would be so guarded against him and want to set a boundary with him regardless of her own reputation. Could it be that she really knew something?
"Little Marquis, you are going to marry Lu Li soon. Did you miss me when we met like this? Did you miss me when you and Lu Li were broken up by everyone? Now you are here telling me to wait. You! After I didn't listen, you actually threatened me with the lives of my family. Can you tell me, can a person like you be trusted?"
Facing Shen Zi's stern voice, Gu Jingheng put away his doubts. It turned out that this was all she said. It seemed that he was overly worried, so it would be easier to coax him.
…
After Shen Zi got on the carriage, she threw the dagger in her hand into the corner.
"Miss, you actually went under the knife? Are there any injuries?" Ling Shuang saw this and stepped forward to check Shen Zi's body.
Shen Zi smiled faintly, "I'm fine, it's the young Marquis who is fine!"
"Little Marquis! Miss, did you hurt the little Marquis?" Ling Shuang was surprised.
"The wound shouldn't be deep!" Shen Zi tilted her head and leaned against the carriage, feeling happy.
Today is a great relief, but this is not enough. One day she will cut Gu Jingheng into pieces.
Shen Zi seemed decisive today, but she left room for Gu Jingheng. This was not because Shen Zi wanted to renew her relationship with Gu Jingheng, but as a gift to Lu Li.
Didn't she like to steal other people's men in her previous life? Now she lets her steal them directly, but so what if they steal their bodies? What she wants is for the two of them to be suspicious of each other, and eventually the two of them will die together!
