Chapter 238: Chapter 238 - I Didn’t Ask You to Get Yourself Into Such a ss!_1
"Alright Ruoshui, stop crying. Auntie will stand up for you! Xiao North, he’s really getting out of hand!"
Fang Eleven... why is it always Fang Eleven! Does there always have to be a Fang Eleven between her and Xiangbei?!
....
"Eleven, is your hand okay?"
"I’m fine, thanks for your concern Sister Qiang. Can I go to the hospital to take care of my wound before going to the company?"
"Oh of course, you’re injured, I’m not that heartless." Lin Qiang gave her a comforting smile, her earlier reproach seed to have disappeared, "So, you know Jin Xiangbei."
Rembering that Lin Qiang must have heard everything earlier, Eleven nodded, "We were in a relationship, but we’ve broken up. That was several years ago."
"Oh...so you can’t be together because of family objections?"
Eleven nodded, "Sister Qiang, I should be going now."
"Go ahead, I’ll get Xiao Man."
Lin Qiang’s attitude was surprisingly good, so Eleven didn’t think too much of it. After all, Lin Qiang and Yao Ruoshui are different, she isn’t interested in Jin Xiangbei because of love, so it’s not surprising that she wouldn’t cause Eleven trouble.
With her uninjured hand clenched around the injured one, to stop the bleeding, her brows knitted together. She won’t lie, it really hurt.
She moved through the crowd, everyone was engrossed in their own conversations, nobody paid attention to her. The blood from her hand dripped onto the ground, passersby glanced at her but didn’t fuss about it.
Suddenly, there was so commotion at the entrance — it seed like so big shot had arrived.
Eleven found it strange that she could sense Gu Liancheng’s presence, even in a crowd.
It was indeed him.
She stood at the edge of the crowd, watching Gu Liancheng walk in. Su Qing and the bodyguards were keeping the insignificant people at bay.
Gu Liancheng turned his face slightly and imdiately noticed Eleven. Even from a distance, he could see her hand clutching her chest, furrowing his brows into a fierce glare.
Eleven panicked, she bent down and quickly walked away.
Of course, Gu Liancheng wouldn’t just let her go; he pushed through the crowd towards her. The bodyguards quickly cleared a five-ter radius around Gu Liancheng — he doesn’t like overcrowding.
Eleven couldn’t outrun Gu Liancheng’s long strides; he only took a few steps before he reached her. He grabbed her hand, his voice deep and intimidating, stifling the atmosphere: "What happened to your hand? I’d better get a satisfactory answer."
The room was in an uproar.
Who is Gu Liancheng holding onto?
Who is that woman? Instantaneously, she attracted the dia frenzy.
Is she the rumored mysterious Mrs. Gu? Or perhaps so newly promoted actress?
The bodyguards along with the security at the venue, swiftly pushed the crowd several ters back from Gu Liancheng.
His towering figure shielded Eleven, aware of the flashes behind him. Fearing that Eleven would be exposed, he pulled her away from the hall.
Jin Xiangbei, who followed them out, saw all of this and walked in their direction.
Behind the curtains, Gu Liancheng’s voice was filled with fury: "I allowed you to gain experience, but not like this!"
In that mont, Eleven looked up at Gu Liancheng dominating over her and felt a sense of relief. In front of her, was a broad chest that she could rely on, at least for now. She could, right?
"It was an accident..." Eleven lowered her head.
"What makes you think I would believe such a poorly crafted lie?"
