123: Chapter 121 Gao Shuai Isn’t Necessarily Tall, Rich, and Handso 123: Chapter 121 Gao Shuai Isn’t Necessarily Tall, Rich, and Handso Liu Shiyi glanced at Tangyu and noticed that his gaze was fixed on her, causing a sudden thought to strike her.
Biting her lip, she hesitated for a long while before speaking with a resolute look, “Tangyu, as long as you can cure my grandfather, you can have whatever you want.”
Though her words were subtle, Tangyu clearly understood the implication.
Realizing there might be so misunderstanding, he imdiately retracted his hand.
“Uh, Liu Shiyi, don’t get wrong, I didn’t an it like that.
While I can’t claim to be a paragon of virtue, nor can I say I am devoid of desire, I definitely wouldn’t use such despicable and lowly thods.
Rest assured, your grandfather’s illness is on .
If you regard as a friend, naturally I should lend a hand when a friend is in need.
Moreover, it’s within my capabilities.
My hesitation just now wasn’t because I didn’t want to help you; it’s just that my master instructed not to use my dical skills carelessly,” Tangyu said.
Liu Shiyi looked at Tangyu sowhat dazedly, realizing she had overthought the situation.
She couldn’t help but show a bit of embarrassnt on her face and said, “I’m sorry, Tangyu.
I overthought it.
I didn’t an anything by it; I was just too anxious earlier.
I hope you don’t take it to heart.”
“Mmhmm, of course not.
eting is a matter of fate, and getting along is the start of friendship.
We are both studying traditional Chinese dicine, so we’re in the sa boat.
It’s an honor for that you regard highly enough to ask for my help, and I can’t let you be disappointed, right?
Shall we go now?” Tangyu said with a smile.
Liu Shiyi nodded her head in gratitude, her eyes sparkling like autumn waters, touched by the gesture.
They had only t once, which didn’t really amount to a solid friendship.
Today, after much hesitation, she mustered the courage to seek Tangyu’s help because her grandfather had fallen ill again the previous night, leaving her deeply worried about his well-being.
To her surprise, he had agreed to help so readily, without setting any conditions—a gesture that moved her greatly.
She already considered Tangyu a good friend.
A man like him was indeed worth developing a deeper relationship with.
A young girl’s heart was inexplicably stirred.
Just as they stood up to leave, three figures approached.
The sound of their voices carried over before they arrived: “Hey, isn’t this our campus beauty, Liu Shiyi?
What a coincidence to bump into such a beauty early in the morning right here.”
The speaker was a young man in his early twenties, the leader of the group of three.
He was fashionably dressed, looking rather like a pop star, except he was sowhat chubby, his round face like a big balloon.
Not very tall, even with shoes, he was probably no more than 1.75 ters.
His stride had a bit of a swagger to it.
If he added a pair of sunglasses, he would look just like a gangster.
The two behind him also looked like students, about the sa age, likely his flunkies.
Seeing the newcors, Liu Shiyi’s expression darkened slightly, “Gao Shuai, I’m busy with sothing today and don’t have ti to play around.
Please step aside.”
“Liu Shiyi, why are you in such a hurry?
With such a fortunate encounter, don’t you think we should at least have a few drinks before you go?” Gao Shuai’s eyes, however, lingered greedily on Liu Shiyi with a lascivious look.
It was clear that he was a shaless lecher from a wealthy family, the type of person who is like mud that can’t support a wall.
“I’ve said I’m not free, please step aside,” Liu Shiyi said coldly.
Gao Shuai, thick-skinned as ever, persisted, “How can you be busy so early in the morning?
Co on, I am a tall, rich, and handso guy.
Why the rush?
It’s not like I’m going to eat you up.
Hehe, even if I did want to eat you up, it certainly wouldn’t be here.
Don’t always keep such a cold face, okay?
I, Gao Shuai, have liked you for more than a day or two.
Back at school, soone stood up for you.
Do you think you’ll have soone stand up for you here too?
You’ve always avoided , but today we have such a great chance, how can I let it slip away?
How about it, join for tea, a song, and lunch?
Does that really put you out?
Being favored by , Gao Shuai, is your good fortune.
Brother isn’t short of cash.
Just be my girlfriend, and I guarantee you a lifeti of splendor and wealth,” Gao Shuai sneered.
Liu Shiyi looked at Gao Shuai with disdain.
She detested these rich kids who thought they could buy people with money.
“Enough, Gao Shuai.
I’ve told you many tis, don’t show off your family’s wealth in front of ; I’m really not interested.
Go find those girls who are interested, but keep away from .
I truly despise it.
There are plenty of wealthier n in Donglin City, and I’ve had no shortage of rich young masters pursuing .
I honestly don’t see how the son of a deputy director of the Health Bureau is of any great significance.
Don’t think that just because your family has so power and money, you’re all that, as if all the girls should be fawning over you.
To be honest, your behavior only makes people feel sick,” Liu Shiyi said with exceptional anger, unloading all the thoughts she had held back for so long.
For Liu Shiyi, there were too many people in this world who were full of themselves, too many who used money to cajole won, and she loathed such people.
Tangyu observed Liu Shiyi, admiring her character; a woman should indeed have such spirit.
After Liu Shiyi’s outburst, Gao Shuai’s face began to look ugly, his pride having taken a hit.
“Hmph, acting all high and mighty with that vase-like face.
There’s always a price for any woman.
I have yet to et a woman who could resist money.
Really taking yourself for so princess, aren’t you?
I’ve had my fill of girls like you.
Since you’re so straightforward, let be frank as well—I just want to play with you.
Na your price, as long as it’s within seven figures,” Gao Shuai retorted with a cold snort.
“That’s right, playing hard to get?
Being favored by our Gao Shuai is your good luck.”
“Giving face but don’t want face, huh?”
Gao Shuai’s two lackeys also echoed in agreent.
Liu Shiyi was truly furious, so angry she was about to cry.
That Gao Shuai was simply a bastard.
Seeing Liu Shiyi about to cry from anger, the usually good-tempered Tangyu also got angry.
He stepped forward to shield Liu Shiyi behind him, gazing coldly at Gao Shuai and said discontentedly, “Just because your na is ‘Gao Shuai’ doesn’t an you can be arrogant and self-important.
Being called ‘Gao Shuai’ doesn’t make you tall and wealthy.
Not to ntion anything else, you’re definitely not tall, and far from handso.
You look like a pig.
Aren’t you ashad to be out and about?
Aren’t you afraid the animal protection agency will nab you?
Scum like you are a disgrace to all n.
Does bullying a girl make you feel powerful?
Apologize to Liu Shiyi right now, and I’ll let this slide.”
Tangyu seldom despised soone, but Gao Shuai had genuinely disgusted him.
This person was truly the scum of the scum.
Bullying others was one thing, but to bully Liu Shiyi—Buddha might tolerate it, but I, Tangyu, cannot.
Gao Shuai was already displeased, and seeing Tangyu standing up for Liu Shiyi made him even more so.
He scanned Tangyu from top to bottom and sneered disdainfully, “Who the hell do you think you are?
You dare ddle in my business?
Tired of living, are you?
What, playing the hero for Liu Shiyi?
Don’t you dare look in the mirror, see what you’re worth.
Get lost.
Don’t provoke , or you’ll face consequences you can’t handle.”
Liu Shiyi was touched to see Tangyu standing up for her.
She looked at his comforting silhouette and felt moved in an indescribable way, as if sothing inside her had been stirred.
Liu Shiyi tugged at Tangyu and said, “Forget it, Tangyu.
Let’s not bother with him, let’s go.” Liu Shiyi knew Gao Shuai had so clout, his father was a deputy director after all, and their family held so power in Donglin City.
She didn’t want Tangyu to anger Gao Shuai on her behalf.
Knowing the kind of person Gao Shuai was, he would surely seek revenge.
She didn’t want to drag Tangyu into this.
Tangyu ignored Liu Shiyi.
He was set on dealing with this.
He always acted on instinct, committed to what he felt needed to be done, regardless of the cost.
That was his principle in life.
As a man, if you can’t even protect the won around you, then what kind of man are you?
Although he and Liu Shiyi were only friends for now, she was still accompanying him, so she was a woman in his life.
Therefore, Tangyu would not allow anyone to bully Liu Shiyi at this mont.
“Hmph, don’t worry about who I am.
At least I know you’re nobody impressive.
Your dad is Gao Mingsheng, right?
The least influential deputy director in the health bureau, right?
His best buddy is Jiang Xian, the deputy director of Donglin’s Eastern District public security bureau.
That’s the backup you’re relying on, right?
You sure your family is really rich?
How much can a deputy director have?
But you’ve got my interest now; I’d like to see just how much your family has, to find out how much your dad has embezzled,” Tangyu said with a cold smile.
Gao Shuai’s expression changed slightly, looking at Tangyu with so surprise.
How could this guy know so much about his family?
Does he have so background too?
But it didn’t seem likely.
“Hmph, trying to trap ?
My mom runs a company.
So what if we have a bit of money?” said Gao Shuai, though his confidence was clearly shaken.
“I don’t care if your dad is corrupt or not.
But he got on his knees begging for rcy yesterday.
So don’t use him to try and intimidate .
I have sothing to do with Liu Shiyi today and don’t have ti to bother with you.
I’ll give you one last chance, apologize to Liu Shiyi earnestly and take back what you just said, or else bear the consequences,” Tangyu said.
Gao Shuai’s mouth twitched.
He had always been proud.
When had he ever been scolded like this?
The very thought of soone deflating his pride made him seethe with rage and blockheaded anger.
“Fuck, acting all high and mighty.
What if I don’t?
What can you do to ?
What, you want to fight?
Believe it or not, I’ll kill you,” Gao Shuai glared at Tangyu furiously, his two lackeys also staring at Tangyu angrily, ready to strike at Gao Shuai’s command.
Tangyu’s mouth curled into a smirk, “You’re quite clever.
As the saying goes, ‘When forbearance is exhausted, forbearance is unnecessary.’ Since you’re asking for it, I’ll indulge you.” Before his words could finish, Tangyu slapped Gao Shuai across the face while his other hand jabbed at Gao Shuai’s chest.
Tangyu was incredibly fast; Gao Shuai and his n only saw a blur before a figure was right in front of them, feeling a weighty palm smack heavily across their faces, which imdiately left them seeing stars and their cheeks burning with pain.
Gao Shuai wanted to fight back, but found his body unresponsive, unable to muster any strength.
Slap!
Slap!
Two crisp slaps sounded, the force indisputably strong, sending Gao Shuai spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face swelling instantly like a pig’s head.
