Chapter 12 Is the Jade Pavilion Closed?

Abuse, humiliation.

Even though Gu Changsheng was used to strange behavior, he couldn't endure it any longer, "I won the prize, so what I buy is my right, isn't it? The company's junk car is also driven by someone, isn't it? As Jiayi's husband, it's only right for me to change her car."

"Are you getting cocky now, huh? Gu Changsheng, you think you're all that now, daring to be presumptuous with me?"

Seeing the two of them full of animosity, Zhou Jiayi was at a loss, "Alright, both of you stop arguing... Changsheng meant well, Mom, can't you be less excessive? The car is already bought and cannot be returned."

Liu Jinhua snorted, looking at the new car, she couldn't help but feel envious.

She ignored the couple and walked over, starting to carefully explore...

A million-yuan luxury car is indeed different.

Their own car hadn't been replaced for ten years, and although it was expensive, it was outdated in today's world, and they often faced ridicule when going out to meet friends.

"Where are the car keys?"

Gu Changsheng didn't want to hand them over, but Zhou Jiayi gave them to her anyway, "Give them to Mom to look at, she won't steal it."

Won't steal?

That's really hard to say!

As soon as Liu Jinhua got the keys, she directly opened the door, about to get in; the bow on the wrapping annoyed her, "What's this crappy thing." She tore it off with one swift motion.

At such a scene, Zhou Jiayi was completely dumbfounded.

Yet, strangely enough, she had no temper towards her mother.

After fiddling around inside, Liu Jinhua praised it, "Not bad, not bad, this car is really good, a million yuan is barely worth it, and it's even in big red, I like it."

Right after, she turned her head, took out a set of keys from her bag, and handed them to Zhou Jiayi through the window.

Zhou Jiayi unthinkingly took them, not yet realizing what was happening, when she heard Liu Jinhua say, "Good daughter, Mom will take this car for a spin for a few days, to break it in, as you don't have the time. You can drive my Mercedes in the meantime, it also cost eight or nine hundred thousand when I bought it."

As the words fell.

The car started right up.

In gear, step on the gas, the wheels spun half a circle with forceful frictional roar, and it zoomed away, quickly disappearing from the couple's sight.

Zhou Jiayi was in disbelief, even more incomprehensible.

Her features were frozen, tears of grievance swirling in her eyes, yet she was too embarrassed to show it in front of Gu Changsheng.

The car Changsheng had given her was taken by someone else.

And she had handed over the keys herself.

How could she have any dignity left?

'Why, why can't they be normal, why do they have to make me feel so humiliated?' Zhou Jiayi roared in her heart, filled with grievance.

On the side.

Gu Changsheng was both angry and amused, having anticipated this outcome.

What was supposed to be a surprise had become a shock, and he had never expected that Liu Jinhua would come to the company today.

And Jiayi's feelings, he understood them too.

With the intention to honor, but powerless to resist, too kind to everyone, which always led to being bullied. Besides protecting her, Gu Changsheng had no other choice.

He reached out, wrapping his arms around Zhou Jiayi, "Wife, it's okay, let her drive away if she wants, it's just a lousy BMW, we don't care about it that much. How about this... let's drive to the provincial city right now, I'll take you to buy a real top-tier luxury car."

"I don't want it!"

"Don't be angry, I'm serious, I'm willing to give you anything you like," he said.

"No, I really don't want it!"

"Aww, my little fairy is getting angry."

"Wuu wuu," at this point, Zhou Jiayi could no longer hold back her emotions and threw herself into Gu Changsheng's arms, burying her head and crying bitterly, "Changsheng, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't want to... I didn't want to give your gift to someone else, they're all bad, all of them are villains."

The long-suppressed grievance burst forth, and she cried like a child.

Gu Changsheng gently stroked her back, simply allowing her to vent.

After a long, long while.

When Zhou Jiayi gradually calmed down, he then said, "Wife, let's go, we'll buy a car in the provincial city, Maserati, Aston Martin, Mercedes G-Class, whatever you want."

Zhou Jiayi looked at his serious expression and laughed through her tears, "Alright, stop bragging. You've just spent a million, where do you get so much money? I don't want any Maserati, I just want the X5 you gave me, but... let's let Mom use it for a few days for now. I'll definitely get it back soon."

Speaking of which.

Without waiting for Gu Changsheng's reaction, Zhou Jiayi crouched down, carefully folded the huge bow, and held it in her arms, "I'm going to keep this safe, as it's the first gift you gave me."

Gu Changsheng was both amused and moved, thinking what more could a husband ask for with such a wise wife.

It's just, we really aren't short on money.

However, he didn't want to spoil this tender moment and finally nodded, "Then, how about we have a big meal today? To celebrate you becoming the president and also to vent out the gloomy emotions."

"Yeah, let's go!" Zhou Jiayi was happy, taking the keys and approaching Liu Jinhua's Mercedes.

The old Mercedes, without navigation, but built solidly, had a sense of heritage and luxury, not too shabby at all.

If it were Gu Changsheng, he would prefer this Mercedes; the quality of modern cars feels too superficial.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jiayi's reaction upon getting in the car was in agreement, "Actually, it's quite good, I really like this car. When I was the executive president at the head office, I used to drive this model, although a more recent year."

Whether it was self-comfort or genuine like, at least her mood had recovered.

"Wife, where shall we go?"

Zhou Jiayi said, "Huaqi Mall, there's a new Japanese restaurant on the upper floor, I've been craving it for a long time but couldn't bring myself to eat there."

"Then let's go, today the husband is footing the bill, we're not short on money."

Zhou Jiayi was also giggling, couldn't be happier.

But just as she was about to start the car, she paused and looked at Gu Changsheng, "Changsheng, you've changed a lot these last two days, and it seems your illness has gotten better too."

Gu Changsheng's heart tightened, also feeling that his transformation was too drastic.

But to keep playing the fool...

He was not willing either.

"Cough, I just feel like my mind suddenly cleared up, hey, aren't you happy that I'm not sick?"

"Of course not, anyway, I like you no matter what."

Without a word, Zhou Jiayi leaned in and kissed him.

The entire car was filled with a warm and affectionate atmosphere.

…

Huaqi Mall.

Upon arrival, they weren't hungry yet, and Gu Changsheng persuaded the frugal Zhou Jiayi to go shopping for clothes.

Buying the car today emptied the balance on the global gold card, but the card can overdraft the credit limit. There's just one thing, using this card would inevitably make Zhou Jiayi overthink.

So Gu Changsheng simply used his own salary card to pay. His income as a delivery guy wasn't bad, and Zhou Jiayi never made him hand over his salary, so there was enough money to buy some clothes.

After a round of shopping, the pair went to the elevator with bags big and small.

Third floor, elevator lobby.

Zhou Jiayi suddenly stopped, puzzling Gu Changsheng.

She pointed not far away, "Changsheng, look, that Jade Pavilion over there is dismantling their sign, it looks like... it's closing down."

Gu Changsheng saw it and sneered in his heart.

Useless!

Hesitating and dragging their feet, and they still haven't kicked them out?!

"Come on, let's check it out." Gu Changsheng, regardless of Zhou Jiayi's reaction, pulled her over.
