C5 Boiled Fish in Water

After an hour —

Chu Zui walked into a high-priced Yee restaurant called blues. As she cut the steak, she glanced at the man in front of her. Xu Zhuyu showed a rare smile at her skillful way.

"Zui, people have their roots in the end, just like how you would never be happy like those women when you're sitting here and eating these things."

"Needless to say, I know that my father asked you to travel a thousand miles to become my lobbyist, but the decision I made was already made. Since I have already chosen this path, it is already too late to turn back." Chu Zui picked up a small steak and casually stuffed it into her mouth. Her expression was one of unshakable persistence.

"And you don't have to come to see me for such a mission." This is a friend that she's known since childhood. In the eyes of their parents, they were completely the same as when they were married in the future, there was no other choice but that in this world, plans would never change fast, just like now.

"Mission?"

Xu Zhuyu looked at her speechlessly. His eyes were innocent and harmless. Suddenly, a look of understanding appeared on his fair face. "You mean, our meeting today is a mission?"

"Mmm, mmm. Or what?"

Chu Zui was starving, and she said while holding something in her mouth, "A famous family like yours is a little open, surrounded by beauties, and a lot of rich second generations too. I don't have much looks, but it just depends on the fact that your mother and I are old classmates. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't be able to get along in this lifetime."

"Oh."

"..." "Clatter." Chu Zui choked. The food in her hand fell. She raised her head with a face full of astonishment and looked at Boiled Fish in disbelief.

She had talked for a long time with balabala just now, but this old man had actually used a single word to lie to her?

"You don't think so?" Chu Zui sipped the coffee in her cup and looked at the simple and bright smile in Boiled Fish's eyes. "Besides, you don't even know the reason why I broke off all ties with them."

"Not just because of that person?" When Xu Zhuyu heard her mention this, a flash of coldness and decisiveness appeared in his eyes.

Chu Zui forced a smile as she lowered her head to drink her coffee. After sinking for a long time, she said slowly, "No matter how much I love you, if I am cut off from my parents because of a man, do you think I am such a person in your eyes?"

This was the favorite grandson of C City's Mayor, and also the son of the Xu Bank. With such a well-known family, he really couldn't stand up to them, even if this was what his mother had said, even though Boiled Fish had been very kind to her since she was young, caring for her, considerate, wise, and humorous, and often tried to make her happy. Chu Zui couldn't help but laugh at herself.

"I don't think so either." His gaze was gentle, and his arms, which had been wrapped around his chest, were suddenly released. He raised his hand to hold Chu Zui's slightly cold hand, which was holding a fork, and slowly tightened his grip, "What happened to you in your first year in England? After that, when my aunt and uncle heard about you, their expressions changed, especially Aunt Chu, who didn't want to talk about you at all. Later on, I heard from my parents that you went to a lawyer and cut off all ties with them! "
