Gu Yuzhi took a piece of jujube osmanthus cake and also instructed the waiter to specially warm a cup of ginger jujube tea. He personally carried the tray, weaving through the crowd to bring it back for Gu Qiusha to enjoy.
Halfway through, his phone kept vibrating incessantly in his pocket.
Not knowing what urgent matter it was, he had to stop to take out his phone.
It turned out it wasn’t a call, but a string of dense text ssages.
From an unfamiliar number composed of nonsensical digits, he opened it to see a series of ssages uniformly mocking: "Gu Yuzhi, do you still rember the woman you slept with in the bar back then? To save you the trouble of finding her, shall I help you publicly announce it later? Hehehe..."
The last three "hehes" made Gu Yuzhi’s hair stand on end!
The woman he slept with in the bar back then?
Wasn’t that just...
His heart pounded wildly; the scandal that almost ca to light at the family gathering back then—to think that if Zuzi hadn’t stepped in and pointed out that the man embracing Sha Sha in the drunken photos wasn’t him, fooling them over, both Sha Sha and he would have been dood.
If his social death was inevitable, so be it, but Sha Sha struggled to return to the Gu family, and if this scandal entangled her again, how would she possibly withstand it?
Moreover, Sha Sha seed not to hope that the man who spent a chaotic night in the bar with her back then was him.
"Brother, it’s a blessing it’s not you."
He rembered that line clearly.
If soone revealed that photo again now, would Sha Sha be plunged into grief?
Sha Sha’s career is booming right now, everything is going smoothly, if a scandal breaks out, everything will be ruined.
No, he must protect her.
Gu Yuzhi trembled as he dealt with the person on the other side.
"Who are you? What do you an? I never ssed around in a bar, that photo is fake!"
He rembered back then Zuzi had cleverly portrayed the red mole behind his ear as a speck of red ink on a newspaper, and pointed out discrepancies in hairstyle and attire that were contrary to his habits, which quelled the accusations of the photo.
Those who knew about the drunken photo must have been on site back then.
However, his inquiry was t with the person’s ridicule: "Hehehe, who said the only thing I have is that photo? I have even stronger evidence. Would you like to share it with everyone? Gu Yuzhi, right when your sister is about to go on stage to speak, how about that? This big gift is on the house."
No!
Gu Yuzhi’s heart nearly stopped.
It doesn’t matter if he gets ruined, but please don’t ruin Sha Sha.
He couldn’t imagine, with Sha Sha going on stage as a renowned platinum comic artist in the Empire, eagerly anticipated by the fans below, only for evidence of her drunken misconduct—still, with her own brother—flashing on the big screen... what a scandalous and humiliating scene that would be.
His palms were sweating profusely.
Earlier, he harbored resentnt towards Bao Gucheng upon entering, but at that mont, he wished Bao Gucheng would fly over, bringing Zuzi along, and brainstorm together on how to deal with such a sinister person.
Zuzi could help Sha Sha through a crisis before; maybe there’s a way again this ti.
Let him take back all the resentnt and jealousy he ever had towards Bao Gucheng, just hoping Mr. Bo quickly sends Zuzi, this miraculous little ancestor.
However, his prayers did not seem to have any effect.
The crowd around was dense.
And unmarked texts continued bombarding incessantly.
"Gu Yuzhi, ti’s almost up, hehehe."
"Ten-second countdown..."
"Nine seconds..."
"Eight seconds..."
Gu Yuzhi shook violently, spilling all the dessert and drink in his hand, mind blank, as he pushed through the crowd with all his might, frantically running towards the center stage.
"Sha Sha! Sha Sha, don’t go on stage! I beg you!"
