Gu Nianxi didn't want to pay much attention to Zhao Ziti's pretentiousness. Zhao Ziti had endured several years of not making her relationship with Su Yuheng public, just so that one day she and Su Yuheng could be together and avoid unnecessary trouble.
In front of the elders, Gu Nianxi didn't want to embarrass herself too much. She endured it again and again, and decided that in twenty minutes, even if the King of Heaven stopped her, she would walk out of this door.
"The children have grown up, and we are really old. I remember that when Zimu's mother was alive, she wanted Niannian to be our daughter-in-law, but Niannian looked down on us Zimu." Father Zhao sighed with a smile.
.
"Dad, how can our young and promising medical doctor be interested in an ordinary person like me? Dr. Gu has a high vision." Zhao Zimu raised his eyebrows at Gu Nianxi.
Gu Nianxi muttered in a low voice, "Tall ass." What she blurted out was heard by Lin Yiduo beside her. Under Lin Yiduo's surprised gaze, Gu Nianxi quickly explained, "Well, it's not that I have high vision, it's just that I haven't arrived yet."
After she finished speaking, she picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine. Lin Yiduo next to her bumped her elbow.
"Take it easy, what's wrong with you today? You're a little weird."
After Lin Yiduo finished speaking, all the eyes of the people at the table fell on her. Gu Nianxi became the center of attention. She quickly lowered her head to avoid their sight. She was most afraid of being stared at. This feeling made her extremely uncomfortable.
Su Yuheng's eyes followed Gu Nianxi from beginning to end, and every move she made was in his eyes. The way she frowned, the way she was dazed, and the way she spoke were all the same as before, but there was a subtle change between them.
What had changed? When Gu Nianxi glanced at him secretly, he finally discovered that it was the way she looked at him that was slightly different.
The brilliance in her eyes when she looked at him had been covered by a layer of ice.
"Nian Nian doesn't have a boyfriend yet? Do you want my sister to introduce you to us? There are many outstanding men in our company."
It seemed that she was deliberately looking for trouble today. As far as Gu Nianxi was concerned, she and Su Yuheng were already in the past, so why should she hold on to her? It seemed that she would not give up today unless she was taught a lesson.
Gu Nianxi put down her wine glass and turned to meet Zhao Ziti's gaze.
"I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry, but Sister Ziti needs to hurry up. I wish you get married to your sweetheart as soon as possible. If not, I will be your bridesmaid before you get married."
Zhao Ziti smiled and replied "Okay" on the surface, but in fact she was half angry inside. The contempt in Gu Nianxi's eyes was obviously contempt for her.
Both of them had knives hidden in their smiles. At this moment, only Su Yuheng could see that they were secretly competing. Gu Nianxi stared at Zhao Ziti, thinking that they were close when they were children, but they turned against each other over a man when they grew up.
Zhao Ziti did not stop provoking. She raised her wine glass and walked towards Gu Nianxi. As she walked, she smiled and talked to everyone.
"When I was little, I loved dressing up Nian Nian as a doll. I remember one time when I was combing her hair, she didn't tell me if it hurt. Then she burst into tears. I asked her why she didn't tell her sister that it hurt, and she said she was afraid of me.
I don’t take her to play if I’m not happy. When I think about this, I miss the past very much. Nian Nian was my little tail back then. Come on, let’s have a drink.”
Zhao Ziti stood next to Gu Nianxi, pretending to be in love with each other. Gu Nianxi was annoyed by her hypocritical face, and she had no intention of accompanying her in a palace drama script.
Gu Nianxi picked up the wine glass with a sullen face, deliberately lowering the rim of Zhao Ziti's glass to clink it with her. Her little move was obviously unfriendly, and when Father Gu saw it, he would naturally nag her and criticize her for being rude.
Zhao Ziti's face changed at first, and then her smile returned. She was secretly happy at Father Gu's scolding, but she didn't expect that Gu Nianxi would fight back the next second.
"I plan to open a psychological clinic. Sister Ziti, if you are free, you can come and sit at any time. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you can come to me."
Zhao Ziti stood there with an embarrassed expression. The changes in Gu Nianxi in the past two years were really surprising. She was obviously no longer the girl who cried and asked her why Su Yuheng abandoned her. At this time, Gu Nianxi was exuding power.
, an aura that is inviolable.
"By the way, I suddenly remembered something. When I was six years old, Uncle Su took Su Yuheng back to City S. Our family even had a meal together. Dad, godfather, you still remember that Zhao Zimu and I complained
Did Su Yuheng bully me? In fact, we lied. He didn't bully me. I remember that Uncle Su hit him and I stood aside and was so scared. I was really timid when I was a child."
In fact, this memory was not profound for Gu Nianxi, but it was unforgettable for Su Yuheng. He did not expect that Gu Nianxi would mention this matter. He looked at her quietly and found that he could not guess her thoughts more and more.
.
"Nian Nian, you must have drunk too much, why are you bringing this up?"
Although it was something he did when he was young, Zhao Zimu was still a little embarrassed. He glanced at Su Yuheng and said hello with a playful smile.
"Hey, I'm sorry, I wasn't sensible when I was a kid."
Su Yuheng shook his head and replied calmly, "It's all over."
…………
When Gu Nianxi was six years old, Su's father brought Su Yuheng back from abroad to visit relatives, and the whole family had a meal together.
The eleven-year-old Su Yuheng was the same as now. He was always quiet in front of others, and his back was straight wherever he sat. He was steady and decent, which was in sharp contrast to Gu Nianxi and Zhao Zimu.
"Look at how outstanding A Heng is. He is a few years older than you. Look at how sensible he is."
The elders' various compliments on Su Yuheng aroused dissatisfaction among Zhao Zimu and Gu Nianxi.
She stared at him intently at the dinner table, regretting that she had just given him her last candy star.
"Nian Nian, how about we play tricks on him?" Zhao Zimu suggested.
"How to play?"
Eight-year-old Zhao Zimu came up with a bad idea. Gu Nianxi didn't consider the consequences of their actions at all. She foolishly followed Zhao Zimu's plan and took Su Yuheng to an uninhabited corner.
"Brother Ah Heng, do you think I'm good-looking? Do you like me?" Gu Nianxi asked Su Yuheng with her big eyes blinking.
"Not good-looking, ugly." Xiao Su Yuheng replied to her with a blushing face.
When Gu Nianxi heard such heart-wrenching words, she cried angrily, "No one ever said I was ugly..."
"You'll know when you look in the mirror."
Gu Nianxi burst into tears. This was the first time she was told that she was ugly. Her self-esteem was shattered. She forgot what Zhao Zimu told her and just burst into tears.
Her cry was so loud that it made Su Yuheng a little nervous. He pushed her against the corner and covered her mouth, "Stop crying, you, you are not ugly, I like-"
At this moment, Zhao Zimu led his parents to find them. The adults saw such a scene and did not understand the situation. They only heard Zhao Zimu yelling.
"Uncle Su, Ah Heng is acting like a bully, he is Nian Nian himself! He is bullying Nian Nian."
Zhao Zimu pulled the adults and shouted as planned. Gu Nianxi froze on the spot. Seeing Zhao Zimu winking at him, she also cried and complained, "Uncle, Brother Aheng bullied me and he kissed me."
All of this was a bad idea from Zhao Zimu, a child who was poisoned by adult TV dramas. Gu Nianxi also guaranteed that she had acting skills and would be able to complete the task.
In fact, their motive for doing this was just to let adults know that Su Yuheng was also a child who made mistakes, and that he was not as perfect as they thought.
When Su's father slapped Su Yuheng hard on the face, Gu Nianxi realized that she had gotten into big trouble.
That loud slap hit his face and also hit her young heart.
"You have really embarrassed me! Go to boarding school for me when you get back! If you don't want to go, you have to go! There will be someone there who can take care of you!"
Gu Nianxi, who was crying, suddenly became quiet. She looked at Su Yuheng, who was covering his red and swollen cheeks, and felt extremely guilty. What made her saddest was that the eleven-year-old Su Yuheng did not defend himself. He just watched quietly.
Looking at her, his eyes were filled with disappointment for her.
He looked at her with a pleading look in his eyes. He probably wanted her to explain this matter, but the six-year-old Gu Nianxi did not dare to look directly into his eyes, let alone admit the truth.
Later, there was an episode that only the two of them knew about. When she went out to find him and apologize to him, Su Yuheng pulled her into an unoccupied private room. Gu Nianxi thought he was going to beat her, so she was too scared to say anything.
Unexpectedly, he pushed her against the wall, took away the bow hairpin from her head, and bit her neck.
"Liar, I will definitely come back to settle the score with you."
This was one of their secrets, and when he grew up, he used this lie as an excuse to be mean and vengeful towards her.
