She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 23 Sickly and Gentle White Moonlight 23

Originally, Zhou Yejin and Tao Yixi had been getting along peacefully these days, but with the addition of Gu Zhixi today, the atmosphere during the meal became a little weird.

Only Shen Weicang seemed to be unaware of anything and was focused on eating, while Zhou Yejin and Tao Yixi took turns to help her.

Gu Zhixi was chatting with Zhou Yejin at first, but after noticing Zhou Yejin's cold attitude, she seemed to calm down for some reason.

She asked Shen Weicang again: "The New Year is coming soon, do you want to stay in Yucheng?"

"Yes, Ye Jin and I don't have any other relatives, so it doesn't matter where we celebrate the New Year."

Gu Zhixi smiled and said, "Why don't you all come to my house to celebrate the New Year? My brother and I will be the only ones at home during the New Year."

Zhou Yejin frowned and wanted to refuse directly, but Shen Weicang agreed immediately: "Okay, it will be more lively to celebrate the New Year together then."

Tao Yixi looked at her with some surprise.

Shen Weicang thought of what Tao Yixi had said to him a few days ago, and he couldn't calm down.

Tao Yixi said that the reason why Zhou Yejin was injured this time was because Gu Zhiyan wanted to teach him a lesson and give Gu Zhixi the opportunity to spend time with him day and night, so as to bring the two together and make Zhou Yejin abandon her.

Gu Zhiyan appears in front of her as a savior and takes care of her tenderly. As time goes by, she will sooner or later fall in love with Gu Zhiyan.

Tao Yixi thought that if she revealed Gu Zhiyan's despicable plan to Shen Weicang, she would panic and be extremely disappointed in Gu Zhiyan.

After all, the pair of earrings showed how deep Shen Weicang's feelings for Zhou Yejin were. How could she accept Gu Zhiyan harming him like this?

But unexpectedly, even though he knew what Gu Zhiyan and Gu Zhixi were planning, Shen Weicang actually agreed to go to the Gu family to celebrate the New Year.

Tao Yixi vaguely felt that things seemed to be developing in a direction he had never imagined.

Shen Weicang’s idea is actually very simple.

Ever since she heard from Tao Minyi that Gu Zhiyan had never given up on suppressing Zhou Yejin's company, she has been looking for a new way out. She couldn't just sit there and wait for Zhou Yejin to really go bankrupt and live a hard life with him.

Originally, she was worried that her background was too low in front of Gu Zhiyan, and he would not take care of her and do everything for her personally like Zhou Yejin did. After listening to Tao Yixi's words, an idea emerged in her mind.

New Year soon arrived, and Shen Weicang and Zhou Yejin drove to Gu's house.

The only servants left in the Gu family were Aunt Zhang, the cook, and the driver, and the huge villa seemed a little empty.

Gu Zhixi walked in enthusiastically holding Shen Weicang's arm: "You are finally here."

Gu Zhiyan was wearing a gray sweater and white trousers, dressed casually. He looked at Zhou Yejin and they both looked away with a cold face.

At the table, seeing that Zhou Yejin and Gu Zhiyan were only busy picking up food for Shen Weicang and taking care of her, Gu Zhixi couldn't suppress her resentment and said jokingly, "Cangcang eats like a princess. Brother, Yejin, stop picking up food for her all the time. Cangcang can't finish her meal."

Zhou Yejin seemed not to hear, and Gu Zhiyan just looked at Shen Weicang lovingly and smiled, "If Cangcang can't finish it, then don't eat it."

The plate in front of Shen Weicang was filled with food that the two had prepared for her. Even the fish had been carefully cleaned of bones by Zhou Yejin before being placed in front of her.

Gu Zhixi was spoiled, but she had never received such treatment since she grew up.

Looking at Shen Weicang again, she was enjoying the care of the two people as if it was a matter of course.

Gu Zhixi couldn't understand how Shen Weicang could enjoy it so naturally. She was obviously an ordinary person and didn't have the fate of a young lady, but she acted like one.

Zhou Yejin is such a gifted child, and it is obvious that he could have developed better without Shen Weicang holding him back, but he is willing to be Shen Weicang's nanny.

She forced a not-so-nice smile and said to Gu Zhiyan coquettishly, "Brother, look at how considerate Ye Jin is when she picks up vegetables, picks fish bones and peels shrimp for her sister. You are not so nice to me."

Zhou Yejin frowned slightly and was too lazy to talk to Gu Zhixi, so she didn't open her mouth to correct her words.

Gu Zhiyan saw that most of the food Shen Weicang ate was the food Zhou Yejin picked for her, and retracted his gaze to look at Gu Zhixi: "Cangcang is not in good health and needs careful care. You are full of energy, why do you need me to do all this for you."

Gu Zhixi felt sad. In the past, no matter what request she made, her brother would just smile and indulge her unconditionally to satisfy her request. But now that Shen Weicang appeared, he could no longer see his sister in his eyes.

She looked at Zhou Yejin again.

The same goes for the man she loves. He never has her in his eyes, only this fickle woman.

Instead, Shen Weicang smiled and said to Gu Zhiyan: "Zhiyan, I can just use Ye Jin to help me. You can also pick up some food for Zhixi."

Her peach blossom eyes looked at him innocently: "Ye Jin and I grew up together, and he always took care of me like this. Haven't you taken care of Zhixi like this?"

Gu Zhixi couldn't bear to hear her green tea talk: "We have servants at home, so brother doesn't need to do these waiter jobs."

The implication is that Shen Weicang is arrogant and treats Zhou Yejin like a servant.

Shen Weicang could naturally hear it as well. His expression became a little aggrieved and he looked at Zhou Yejin.

Zhou Yejin glanced at Gu Zhixi coldly and said, "Even if I have servants, I will take care of Cang Cang myself."

Gu Zhixi's face turned pale.

Even Gu Zhiyan stared at her, his expression not looking good: "Apologize to Cang Cang."

Gu Zhixi looked at him and felt a sense of strangeness.

Is this still the brother who only cares about whether he has been wronged no matter what happens?

Gu Zhixi stood up with a bang, and the chair made a harsh sound on the floor. Her eyes were a little moist, and her voice was a little tearful: "Why should I apologize? What did I say wrong?"

She looked at Zhou Yejin and pointed at Shen Weicang: "She treats you like a servant, and I speak for you, but you blame me?"

After that, she looked at Gu Zhiyan who was frowning, "Brother, who is your sister and who is your relative? You protected her and asked me to apologize?"

Gu Zhiyan's face had completely darkened. "It seems like I have spoiled you. You can't even just ask me to apologize when you do something wrong?"

Shen Weicang quickly tried to smooth things over: "Zhiyan, don't say that about Zhixi. I believe she said those things unintentionally. She just didn't understand how Ye Jin and I get along. It wasn't out of bad intentions."

As she said that, she also stood up and pulled Gu Zhixi's hand: "Zhixi, don't take it to heart. Ye Jin is not blaming you, he is explaining. This is how he speaks. You just have to get used to it."

To Gu Zhixi, these words sounded like Shen Weicang was showing off that she knew Zhou Yejin better than she did.

She shook her arm and shook off Shen Weicang's hand: "You don't need to pretend to be kind."

Unexpectedly, Shen Weicang staggered and almost fell on the dining table. Zhou Yejin quickly reached out and put her arms around her waist, bringing her into his arms.

Shen Weicang was frightened and trembling. If it weren't for Zhou Yejin, she would have been scalded by the soup bowl on the dining table.

Zhou Yejin hugged her tightly with concern: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, it's okay."
