Upon hearing the news of Zhang Xiaomeng's death, Zou Yu fell silent. Although she wasn't close with the girl, she was still someone she knew. Especially recently, she found that because of that incident, she had some endocrine imbalance and became sentimental. In order to not let her eyes become moist for no reason, she chose to make her face more indifferent and her mind more empty.
At that moment, she heard Xu Le's question. This question was very natural. It was like a young woman in a coffee shop covering her mouth and giggling while asking a female friend next to her. It was also like a mother nervously and joyfully asking her daughter.
No one knew about that incident. In order to hide it, Zou Yu, who had already fallen out with her family, simply moved out. For so many days, she hadn't told anyone about this incident. It weighed on her heart, making her feel extremely painful and troubled.
Xu Le's ordinary face and gentle and steady pace of speech often made the people around him feel close and trustworthy. Although Zou Yu wasn't his friend, when she heard such a natural question, the pressure that had accumulated over the past few days seemed to have found a breakthrough. She naturally replied bitterly, "It's been more than three months."
…
…
As soon as this sentence came out, Zou Yu's expression suddenly froze. She suddenly turned around and stared coldly at Xu Le's face. After Xu Le confirmed his guess, the expression on his face became more serious and concerned.
"How did you know?" The extremely cold expression didn't last long. It immediately collapsed into a pale and slightly panicked face. Zou Yu looked at Xu Le and asked in a trembling voice.
Xu Le's eyes lowered and landed on her lower abdomen. If it weren't for his sharper eyes than the average person, he definitely wouldn't have noticed the slight bump.
"You're pregnant … Why are you still racing? It's too dangerous," Xu Le said.
There was no makeup on Zou Yu's face. She was pure and beautiful. When she heard the word "pregnant," a trace of desolation suddenly appeared on her face. It was just like that morning a long time ago when she left an unfamiliar apartment. She burst into tears like a broken pot.
"It's none of your business. If I remember correctly, we don't know each other that well. In fact, we've always been enemies," Zou Yu said.
Xu Le had no interest in arguing with her. He only knew that he had guessed one thing correctly, and with the confirmation of her pregnancy date, his second guess was about to come to fruition. On the night after the Double Moon Festival ball, the pair involved in the scene on the grass beside the Rose River did not know that he had already seen it.
Xu Le was silent as he considered his choice of words. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the few well-dressed young men beside the car had already cast strange glances at his car.
Without waiting for him to open his mouth to ask, Zou Yu suddenly said coldly, "I didn't expect the crown prince to actually give you this car. It seems like you really are a subordinate that the Tai family values."
"He has a lot of cars. It's not strange that he gave me one," Xu Le corrected. "I'm not his subordinate. I'm his friend."
Hearing the word "friend," Zou Yu's slightly red eyes flashed with a strange light. She immediately said mockingly, "Someone like him has friends? Someone like you is worthy of being his friend? "
These words were very disdainful and humiliating, but Xu Le acted as if he didn't hear it at all.
"How … is the crown prince now?"
"I don't know. I haven't contacted him in a few days. Originally, he was supposed to finish studying in Lin Hai for half a year and then directly go to the West Woods to join the army. However, since he ended his studies early, I don't know where he will go."
Looking at the lonely girl in red beside him, Xu Le slightly narrowed his eyes. Only now did he remember that this girl and Tai Zhiyuan were the same year. She was younger than him and was a real girl. However, in the past, the vitality and innocence that a young girl should have was covered up by her cold personality and gorgeous makeup.
After Zou Yu heard about Tai Zhiyuan's recent situation, she became silent. Her rosy lips slightly opened as if she wanted to continue asking, but in the end, she only remained silent.
Seeing her companions walking towards the car, she was about to get out of the car when Xu Le called her back.
"Don't go racing. It's too dangerous for you and others," Xu Le said softly to her as he looked out the window at the expensive blue sports car not far away.
Zou Yu laughed mockingly. "Who do you think you are? You actually dare to control me like that old man of mine? "
"Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me. I also don't like trash like you who don't care about human lives." Xu Le was rarely so mean. He turned his head and looked at her with narrowed eyes. He said word by word, "But right now, the life in your belly has a lot to do with me, so naturally, I have to control you."
Zou Yu was a smart person. She didn't misunderstand these words. Instead, she very sensitively discovered that this ordinary person named Xu Le … Perhaps he had already guessed the true identity of the father of the child in her belly. This was because she knew very well that this person and Xu Le beside her were very close friends.
Her face suddenly became even paler. She looked at Xu Le in a daze. In her shock, she forgot to get out of the car.
…
…
The few well-dressed young people were originally discussing the night run. However, when they saw Zou Yu get into the black car that suddenly arrived, they were silent. They were guessing the identity of the black car's owner in their hearts.
These people's families had considerable status in the special capital region. However, their father's company had to maintain a good relationship with the National Defense Department's Deputy Minister Zou, who was in charge of logistics. Naturally, they didn't want to disturb the conversation between Miss Zou and her friends.
"Where do you live? I'll send you back and ask you some questions. "
"I can't leave yet. I lost a bet with someone today. If I can't win it back in the night run, I have to pay for the bet." For some reason, Zou Yu calmly explained.
The people outside the car seemed to be a little impatient, especially when the blue Silver Spirit sports car flashed its lights twice. A young man walked to the car window, gently knocked, and said with a smile, "Sister Zou, are you still running tonight? They're urging us. "
Although they didn't want to offend Zou Yu, they didn't want to offend the owner of the blue Silver Spirit sports car even more. Although until tonight, they still didn't know the name of the owner of the car, they had been warned from all sides that this was a big shot that they couldn't afford to offend.
At this time, a middle-aged man got out of the blue Silver Spirit sports car. He walked straight to Xu Le's car and said coldly, "Miss Zou, the young master said that we have three people in the car, and he'll let you sit empty for five minutes … If you're not in the mood tonight, or you don't want to change cars, then please drink this bottle of wine."
A bottle of aged wine was in the middle-aged man's hand. It seemed that today's bet on Highway 2 was a bottle of wine. It was strange. Although the descendants of the Federation's rich and powerful definitely wouldn't be so bored as to gamble, it was a bit surprising that they would only drink a bottle of wine.
The car window slowly rolled down. Xu Le said, "She won't be running today, and … she won't drink the wine either."
Xu Le thought of the thrilling scene on the streets of Wangdu City. He didn't have the slightest good impression of the person in the blue Silver Spirit sports car. It was the same for Zou Yu, who drove the red Lotus. He shouldn't have gotten involved in this trouble, but at this time, since he already knew that Zou Yu's slightly swollen abdomen could be the descendant of that lazy guy, he definitely wouldn't let Zou Yu race so crazily again.
As for something like wine, could a pregnant woman drink it?
…
…
Xu Le's reply made the middle-aged man slightly stunned. Immediately, a gloomy expression appeared on his face. He thought that his young master had already given enough face to this young miss from the Zou family by only letting her drink a bottle of wine as a gesture. He didn't expect that the owner of the black car, who had suddenly appeared, would reject him so cleanly and without giving him any face.
"This is between my young master and Miss Zou. May I ask who you are?"
He didn't know the identity of the ordinary-looking young man in the black car, but he thought that since the other party was sitting together with Zou Yu, he must not be an ordinary person, so his tone of reply was still polite.
Before Xu Le could answer, Zou Yu replied with a faint smile, "I don't know him. I overtook his car on the road, but I didn't expect him to follow me here."
Xu Le's pair of knife-like eyebrows furrowed slightly. He knew that the woman beside him had habitually started to cause trouble again.
The middle-aged man walked toward the blue sports car, but the expressions of the well-dressed young men beside the car changed slightly. They believed Zou Yu's words and thought that Xu Le was just an outsider.
"Don't interfere in things you don't understand." One of them narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Le. He said, "I heard that the sound of your car is not bad. Looks like it took a lot of effort to modify it. Do you want to go one round?"
"I'm not someone who doesn't take my life and other people's lives seriously." Xu Le didn't have a good impression of these people outside the car, and Zou Yu's words put him in a bad mood. Although he still spoke calmly, there was a trace of impoliteness in his tone.
"I'm giving you face, but you don't want it." The young man's expression changed. He kicked the car door heavily and scolded, "Get out of the car!"
Whether it was in the nightclub or in the GU, Xu Le was used to the faces of these people in the Federation's privileged class, so he was not surprised by the other party's violent reaction. He was not worried that the other party's foot would be hurt.
The car window rolled up, blocking out the scolding outside. He turned to look at Zou Yu and said, "Why do you have to cause trouble for me?"
"With your status, since you came to provoke me, trouble will naturally accompany you."
Zou Yu glanced at the people outside the car, but had no intention of getting out. She smiled and said, "You rejected the other party on my behalf. In their eyes, this is a very embarrassing thing … Since you have already offended them, you have to completely subdue them. To put it bluntly, this is what this circle is all about."
There was a trace of tiredness and coldness in her indifferent smile. She said, "If you can be more arrogant than them, they naturally won't dare to be arrogant in front of you."
Those arrogant young people had already blocked in front of Xu Le's car. Two of them were even preparing to go back to the car to get their weapons. It seemed that these people didn't just disregard human life when they were racing, they were also the same on a normal day.
Xu Le shook his head and said, "I don't want to take this kind of class, and I'm not a member of this circle. I really hate you people. For people like you, it seems that it is more appropriate to use your fists, just like outside the ball. "
He did not get out of the car to use his fists, although he knew very well that when it came to fists, there were probably not many people in the Federation who were a match for him. Even the special forces of the Federation were the same.
He stepped on the accelerator. The car under him suddenly sped up. Amid the screeching sound of the tires grinding against the ground at high speed, it rushed forward.
Zou Yu's face paled. She looked at the people in front of the car and the expensive sports car and screamed, "What are you doing?"
