Capítulo 569: Chapter 569: Whose Fault Is It?
Gu Beihuai had listened to Gu Nanzhi’s thanks all the way, and it put him in an even better mood.
On the way, the other few girls were curiously asking Tang Chuxia, “Sister-in-law, does Zhizhi always talk to her brother like this?”
Tang Chuxia nodded.
For many years, the two had been like this, so close yet always at each other’s throats.
Tang Chuxia had thought that the few young girls would be scared, but instead, they envied them one after another.
“I wish my brother were this easy to talk to!”
To think they were actually envious of this kind of interaction.
Tang Chuxia was quite speechless, but as long as they were happy, she was fine with it.
After dropping the few female students off at school, Gu Nanzhi didn’t want to go back ho with them, but one look from Gu Beihuai scared her into following them ho.
She guessed she would be dealt with by Mrs. Gu once she was ho.
Life is hard, she thought, insisting on buying so tasty snacks on the way and reasoning that it’s better to be full before getting scolded so the scolding wouldn’t keep her from eating.
Her considerations were quite comprehensive, though a bit irresponsible.
Tang Chuxia thought that Gu Nanzhi wasn’t taking it seriously at all; at most, she just thought she was unlucky.
Back at ho, Tang Chuxia saw Zheng Duoqing who had co to find Gu Nanzhi. Based on the principle that a good girlfriend should have a long mory, she told Zheng Duoqing everything very directly.
Zheng Duoqing beca so angry that she didn’t even notice Mrs. Gu was there and directly scolded Gu Nanzhi, “Gu Nanzhi, do you even have a brain? I warned you before that that person has impure motives, he’s tried to approach several tis before. Yet you didn’t take it seriously, and you almost got tricked and sold off by him!”
Gu Nanzhi shrank her neck.
If it were Mrs. Gu scolding her, she could argue or act cute, but facing Zheng Duoqing, Gu Nanzhi was like a quail.
She was truly afraid of Zheng Duoqing getting angry.
It’s said that even when beautiful n get angry, they look good, but Zheng Duoqing would really hit Gu Nanzhi.
He held Gu Nanzhi down and started spanking her.
“Mom, save !”
Mrs. Gu was on the side egging on, “Xiaoqing, hit her more, she’s got a lot of flesh on her butt, it can take a beating, it won’t break!”
Gu Nanzhi: …
“Are you my real mom? Having soone else hit your own daughter!”
Gu Nanzhi cried miserably, yet not a single tear fell.
Mrs. Gu reprimanded her with frustration, “If it wasn’t because my hand would hurt, I would definitely hit you myself!”
Gu Nanzhi: …
She saw there was no help from Mrs. Gu, so she turned to Gu Beihuai for help, “Brother, dear brother, you’re my own brother, can you really watch your own sister get hit like this? What about sharing fortune and hardship together as siblings?”
Gu Beihuai cleaned his ears, “I’m tired today, can’t hear well!”
Gu Nanzhi knew her brother was unreliable and looked to Tang Chuxia for help.
Tang Chuxia was even more straightforward, “Zhizhi, just bear with it, and it’ll be over soon. Weren’t you thinking the sa when you were held down at soone else’s house?”
Gu Nanzhi: …
Everyone is just too much.
Zheng Duoqing didn’t intend to seriously harm Gu Nanzhi; otherwise, Mrs. Gu wouldn’t have condoned actual violence.
After a few hits, there was just the sound of Gu Nanzhi wailing—no real harm done!
“All of you, you’ve gone too far, and I will never forgive you!”
Gu Nanzhi ran back to her room, slamming the door in anger, only to have Zheng Duoqing follow and squeeze in. As for what happened afterward, Mrs. Gu didn’t care, and Tang Chuxia cared even less.
Mrs. Gu, however, did ask Tang Chuxia, “Could you keep an eye on Zhizhi at school? I’m afraid she might be at a disadvantage!”
Tang Chuxia assured her that she would watch over Gu Nanzhi and keep her safe. She also reminded Mrs. Gu, “It’s getting hot lately. Take care of yourself to avoid heatstroke!”
Mrs. Gu said she would be careful and left for the hospital, as she had a night shift later.
Because Zheng Duoqing was still at ho, Gu Beihuai was worried about that guy causing trouble with Gu Nanzhi again, so he sat in the courtyard to cool off. He cut a waterlon for Tang Chuxia.
The two of them sat there eating waterlon while discussing the day’s events.
To be honest, Tang Chuxia was really curious: why did so many people think that taking a woman’s purity could ensure she stayed with them?
Just thinking about it made her feel terrible.
Gu Beihuai comnted, “Ultimately, it’s society’s unfair treatnt of won. If they were fair to won, they’d realize that no matter the issue, it shouldn’t be pinned primarily on won.”
After all, what had they done wrong?
“Let’s not get into the societal issues. There’s sothing else I need to ask you about; any progress on Yang Chao’s case?”
Tang Chuxia asked, washing her hands and looking at Gu Beihuai.
Gu Beihuai shook his head, “It’s still unclear; there’s too little to go on. Although you ntioned that the scent on the envelope might co from Sun Qingyuan, all the information about him is quite clear!”
Tang Chuxia wanted to say that Gu Beihuai was playing dumb. With Sun Qingyuan having his sights set on her, Gu Beihuai had long wanted to deal with him. Now was a good opportunity, so it would be unlike Gu Beihuai not to seize it.
“How Sun Qingyuan truly is should be sothing that Lu Qiming and the others know better than us. We’ll ask them later, especially since I’m nearly done with the model weaponry I promised to make for them!”
The so-called weapons were just models and couldn’t actually be used. Otherwise, with their power, they would certainly attract unwanted attention.
After all, firearms are banned nationwide; there’s no need to push boundaries.
The models are quite impressive, all carefully crafted by Tang Jianbing.
“Rember the donations they ntioned last ti? Did they go through with it?” Gu Beihuai reminded Tang Chuxia not to forget about collecting the items.
On such matters, Tang Chuxia still trusted the nobility of the three young masters; none were short of money, and it was unlikely they’d cause trouble over such a small amount.
After Tang Chuxia finished speaking, Gu Beihuai ntioned, “Okay. I’m going to be busy soon, so Qin Zhan might be accompanying you for a while.”
Tang Chuxia saw no issue with this. Lately, other than attending classes, she was just at ho and had no plans to go anywhere. Even if soone wanted to bother her, it didn’t matter; she felt fully capable of handling it.
However, what Tang Chuxia didn’t expect was that without seeking trouble from anyone, Sun Qingyuan took the initiative to look for her—not at ho, but by visiting her school.
Tang Chuxia was speechless.
Though she often arrived late or left early from her classes and engaged in private tutoring, Sun Qingyuan’s networking skills were good enough to corner her at school.
“Tang Chuxia, considering we were almost engaged, could we talk?”
Sun Qingyuan’s confident and arrogant deanor instantly energized Tang Chuxia. Honestly, it had been a long ti since she had a good chance to vent her emotions, and now this guy had shown up inconveniently.
“We definitely need to talk!”
