Chapter 962 You actually prefer money, don't you?

"You saw it too?"

Cheng Yu wasn't looking at Zhang Zimo's WeChat Moments, but rather Cheng Ran's.

His brother rarely posts on WeChat Moments, so when he saw it, he clicked to read it.

Upon seeing it, his expression changed.

Especially when you see his mutual friends and relatives praising the two of them as a perfect match, you'll know that they are a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven.

Yes, he also admitted that his brother and Zhang Zimo looked like a good match.

But it looks glaringly bad no matter how you look at it.

Why do they have to show off their affection in front of me? Can't they just do it quietly?

And his brother used to always have a cold and indifferent attitude towards any girl he met.

Why is he so concerned about Zhang Zimo?

Was it simply because Zhang Zimo was his fiancée, or had he already set his sights on Zhang Zimo?

Cheng Yu thought back and realized that from childhood to adulthood, it seemed that his brother had never given Zhang Zimo a cold shoulder.

The last time he returned to the old house, he was surprised to find a childhood photo of him and Zhang Zimo in his brother's study.

Zhang Zimo was still a little girl with two buns in her hair. She was being led by Cheng Ran, and although there was another person beside her, it was clear that her cousin thought he was an eyesore.

Because his cousin blocked his way with something.

At first glance, there are only two people in the photo.

"I'll go over and take a look."

Cheng Yu was an expert in eating, drinking, and having fun, and he quickly found out which private room Cheng Ran had booked.

"I'll go too!" Zhang Ziqi said, not wanting to be left behind.

She knew she could no longer compete with Zhang Ziming, but she also wanted to hold onto Cheng Yu tightly and not let Cheng Yu's heart fall for Zhang Ziming again.

What else can she do?

She had even done things like offering herself to Lu Xingye.

As it turned out, it was completely useless.

They really didn't take her seriously.

Her little tricks might fool a greenhorn like Cheng Yu, but they wouldn't fool someone like Lu Xingye.

Zhang Ziqi gritted her teeth and followed.

Cheng Yu glanced at her and said, "You'd better not go. Zhang Ziming and you don't get along to begin with. If you go, she'll just get angry again."

Not to mention Zhang Ziming's outburst, if his brother is unhappy, Cheng Yu will also suffer the consequences.

Cheng Yu was also afraid of this cousin.

"I also want to repair my relationship with Momo."

"Now that she and Ran are engaged, and we have no other conflicts, I hope we can get along well."

"As long as she doesn't look at me with prejudice, I won't do anything."

"Besides, she always looked down on me; I really didn't do anything."

In the past, Cheng Yu would have believed Zhang Ziqi's words.

But he's not the same Cheng Yu he used to be; he won't believe everything Zhang Ziqi says anymore.

“She really doesn’t think much of you.” Cheng Yu nodded seriously.

Zhang Ziqi waited for Cheng Yu to finish his sentence.

She thought Cheng Yu would stand up for her as before.

But Cheng Yu did not.

Even in Cheng Yu's eyes, Zhang Zimo's previous prejudice against Zhang Ziqi had become perfectly normal.

It was only after his brother reminded him that Cheng Yu remembered that Zhang Ziming was a legitimate daughter of the Zhang family, and there was nothing wrong with her not liking Zhang Ziqi.

After all, to Zhang Zimo, Zhang Ziqi was an outsider, an intruder, someone who came to take things from her.

Cheng Ran gave Cheng Yu an analogy, saying that if Cheng Yu's parents divorced and his stepmother brought a younger brother to claim his inheritance, he would ask if Cheng Yu was willing to accept it.

In fact, the younger brother tried in every way to create the image of himself as more sensible than Cheng Yu in front of outsiders.

Will Cheng Yu be unhappy? Will he hate his younger brother? And what will he do?

Cheng Yu was unable to answer.

He thought that he would most likely compete with this younger brother who came later in life and was not related to him by blood.

So, if he couldn't even do it himself, why did he ask Zhang Zimo to do it? Was he out of his mind?

Or were they truly deceived by Zhang Ziqi's appearance and successfully brainwashed?

Regardless, Cheng Yu truly took Cheng Ran's words to heart.

Then he added, a little angrily, "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"If you had told me, maybe Zhang Ziming and I would have—"

Before he could finish speaking, he received a glare from Cheng Ran.

"What do you think?"

Later, Cheng Yu realized that his brother was a wolf in sheep's clothing and had been eyeing Zhang Zimo for a long time.

Just watch him act up, and wait until he's done acting before taking action.

Although Cheng Yu saw through his cousin's cunning and treacherous nature, he also admitted that he was no match for him.

He admits he lost!

Didn't his cousin also help him see Zhang Ziqi for who she really is?

Not a loss!

"Cheng Yu, are you still angry with me about Momo?"

"Is it because I once gave Cheng Ran a love letter that he looks down on me?"

Before Cheng Yu could speak, Zhang Ziqi explained to herself, "I've already apologized to you, can't you forgive me just this once?"

"I was young and naive back then, and I mistook admiration for liking."

"The person I truly love is you."

Zhang Ziqi now hates Cheng Ran the most.

This man saw through her intentions and watched her perform for so many years, yet he exposed her when she tried to sabotage his engagement with Zhang Zimo.

Now, not only Cheng Yu has a problem with her, but many members of the Zhang family also don't want to see her.

Years of hard work, while not making it difficult for her to make a living in this industry, have certainly made her feel worse than before.

Especially the girls in this circle, they all started to ostracize her, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

This made Zhang Ziqi very unhappy.

However, despite disliking Cheng Ran, Zhang Ziqi had no choice but to muster up the courage to appear in front of him.

Because she was afraid of his absence, Cheng Ran's two sentences once again reminded Cheng Yu, causing him to reject her again.

"Alright, stop talking about whether you like it or not." Cheng Yu was already fed up with it.

"Zhang Ziqi, you actually like money more, don't you?"

"Just like before, you treated me as a friend, but you were eager to get close to Lu Xingye."

"You know better than I what kind of person Mr. Lu is. You know he has a fiancée and you're not good enough for him, so now you want to come back to me, your backup plan, and cultivate a relationship with me?"

Cheng Yu's tongue is sharp; it can be venomous at anyone.

Previously it was targeting Zhang Zimo, now it's targeting Zhang Ziqi.

Zhang Ziqi felt extremely upset upon hearing this.

She used to be secretly pleased when she saw Zhang Ziming rendered speechless by Cheng Yu, but now the retribution has finally come to her.

"Ayu, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"

Zhang Ziqi was furious; she hadn't expected Cheng Yu to see her that way.

If he looks down on her, why would he agree to go out to dinner and go on a date with her?

Is he playing a trick on her?

"What misunderstanding could there be? I've just seen your true colors."

Cheng Yu's lips were still curling upwards.

Zhang Ziqi dug her fingers into her flesh, forcing a smile: "If you're unhappy, I won't go with you."

"Whatever." Cheng Yu ignored her.

He admitted that his continued willingness to associate with Zhang Ziqi was a form of desensitization training.

Once he can truly stop being soft-hearted towards Zhang Ziqi, he will break off all contact with her.
