Chapter 18. Chapter 18. He slapped himself in the face...

It's true that Qin Xuewei returned to China; she made a special trip abroad before coming back.

If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way.

Before returning, she specially posted on her WeChat Moments, and even blocked Gu Tingyun, so that everyone else would know that she was going to give Gu Tingyun a surprise.

Although Gu Tingyun was unaware, his group of friends would definitely inform him.

She received a series of messages from Lin Beibei as soon as she landed.

Knowing that Gu Tingyun had abandoned her without a second thought, Qin Xuewei even sent Lin Beibei a large red envelope to comfort her.

However, Qin Xuewei couldn't hold back her emotions when she saw Gu Tingyun.

Lin Beibei would always message her saying she wanted to punch Gu Tingyun, and she could still offer her a few words of comfort.

Although she often talked to Gu Tingyun on the phone, Qin Xuewei trembled when she actually saw Gu Tingyun standing there looking all dignified, holding flowers.

The scene from my dream reappeared before my eyes.

She wanted to kill Gu Tingyun.

Qin Xuewei picked up her phone and apologized to Lin Beibei.

She was wrong; seeing Gu Tingyun, it was really hard not to want to slap him.

This time, it was Lin Beibei who comforted her.

"Don't be impulsive, please don't be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil."

Qin Xuewei took a deep breath. "Don't worry, I'll be able to control myself."

Only then did she adjust her expression, walking towards Gu Tingyun with a look of surprise, pretending not to know that he would come to pick her up at the airport.

Lin Beibei looked at her phone, feeling genuinely worried. Of course, she wasn't worried about Gu Tingyun; she was worried about Qin Xuewei.

They were afraid that she might get too agitated and accidentally stab Gu Tingyun to death, which would be a huge problem.

She didn't dare to keep messaging Qin Xuewei, but only sent one message advising her to calm down.

However, Qin Xuewei did not reply, which worried Lin Beibei so much that she couldn't concentrate on her studies.

She pressed her face against the window, praying that Qin Xuewei wouldn't do anything foolish.

"Sister Xiang Bei, can you see what's happening on Qin Xuewei's side?"

【cannot. 】

Lin Beibei sighed, slumped on the bed, and kept glancing at her phone to see if any news popped up.

Qin Xuewei stabbed Gu Tingyun in public, it's bound to make headlines.

After waiting for a while without any news, Lin Beibei became even more worried, mentally simulating 108 ways Qin Xuewei could kill Gu Tingyun.

"Sister Xiangbei, what should we do? If Qin Xuewei really killed Gu Tingyun, will she go to jail? But I'm not a lawyer now, so I can't defend her."

Xiang Bei was speechless. Although she couldn't see what was happening on Qin Xuewei's side, Gu Tingyun was the male lead, and if he died, the system would definitely know.

[He's not dead, he's perfectly fine, and he's having dinner with his fiancée.]

Lin Beibei breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're alive. It's better to die at Qin Xuewei's hands than at anyone else's. It's not worth breaking the law for someone like that."

Knowing that everything was alright, Lin Beibei somehow got hold of a red cloth strip, took a black pen, and wrote the words "Passed the postgraduate entrance exam" on it. She then began to study hard again.

The desk where I study is covered with motivational sticky notes.

Xiang Bei felt sorry for her, so she rummaged through the system space again and prepared some pills to refresh her mind and some things to help her focus on studying.

Xiang Bei dared not give her the pills that enhanced intelligence, as she couldn't guarantee they would still be effective after she left.

Only if she studies hard will the knowledge she acquires after leaving remain Lin Beibei's own.

All she can do is offer some assistance.

Xiang Bei didn't mention that she would be leaving sooner or later. Now was a crucial time for her studies, so she naturally couldn't disturb Lin Beibei, fearing that knowing would distract her.

She already has so much to do, why bother her with more trouble?

With Qin Xuewei holding Gu Tingyun back, Lin Beibei felt much more at ease.

Although Gu Tingyun still comes to see her, it's much better than before. He can only say a few words before Qin Xuewei calls him away for various reasons.

Either the light bulb in my house is broken, or I feel like I'm being followed.

It was just an excuse Qin Xuewei used to get Lin Beibei away from him. She just said whatever came to mind, and although the reason was lame, Gu Tingyun was still willing to believe it.

But Gu Tingyun's thought process was different from others. He stormed to the hotel in a rage. He somehow got hold of a room key and barged into Lin Beibei's room, dragging her out of bed while she was still fast asleep.

"Lin Beibei, did you do this?"

Lin Beibei was still a little dazed. She had studied late last night and planned to relax and sleep in today, but she didn't expect Gu Tingyun to appear like this.

Lin Beibei first reflected on herself and realized that she shouldn't have been lazy in her studies.

Then he slapped Gu Tingyun across the face and did what he had always wanted to do.

Gu Tingyun was still holding her wrist. Lin Beibei thought the slap wasn't hard, but in reality, her slap sent Gu Tingyun flying to the side, and she was almost dragged to the ground by him.

Lin Beibei broke free from Gu Tingyun's grasp and got out of bed.

She stood on the bed, looking down at Gu Tingyun who was lying on the ground.

She is 1.65 meters tall, which is indeed very short next to Gu Tingyun, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall.

However, looking at Gu Tingyun like this, Lin Beibei felt really good inside.

No wonder Gu Tingyun liked looking down at her.

happy!

Gu Tingyun was incredulous that Lin Beibei could slap him to the ground.

Touching my cheek, it feels swollen.

"Lin! Bei! Bei!"

"What? Mr. Gu, do you want me to call the police and say you molested me?" Lin Beibei said without any politeness.

Gu Tingyun stood up, looking at Lin Beibei with a gloomy gaze.

"How dare you hit me?"

Getting slapped by a woman is considered fun, after all, how strong can a woman be?

But being slapped by a woman and left defenseless was a humiliation for Gu Tingyun.

His gaze was so intense it seemed he wanted to devour Lin Beibei.

Sensing something was wrong, Lin Beibei crossed her arms and flexed her wrists, somewhat eager to try.

She learned many moves in Sanda (Chinese kickboxing). It's impossible for her to kill someone, but she wouldn't lose out if she beat them up. She even studied how to hit someone in a way that would hurt without leaving any wounds.

Unfortunately, before she could make a move, Gu Tingyun was called away by Qin Xuewei with a phone call.

After everyone left, Lin Beibei quickly closed the door and was about to call Qin Xuewei when the latter called.

It turns out that Qin Xuewei was in a car accident this morning when she went out. The other car ran a yellow light and hit her. She then contacted the traffic police to handle the situation.

When Gu Tingyun found out, he went to see her and somehow started to associate her with Lin Beibei.

After learning that Gu Tingyun had left the hospital, Qin Xuewei went straight to Lin Beibei, and Qin Xuewei and Lin Beibei each gave Gu Tingyun a dressing down.

Xiang Bei also joined in the cursing.

The CEO's once rational mind has now shriveled into a tiny, delicate date.

"Impossible, he was never rational at all." Lin Beibei couldn't help but refute after seeing the comments.

Gu Tingyun is simply a self-righteous madman.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Beibei washed up, changed her clothes, and went to the hotel front desk.

Why was Gu Tingyun allowed to get her room card? Why didn't the hotel staff check it before giving it to Gu Tingyun?

The hotel receptionist initially argued that Gu Tingyun claimed to be Lin Beibei's boyfriend, which was why she gave him the room key.

Lin Beibei immediately called the police.

In the end, the hotel admitted its fault and compensated Lin Beibei. That same day, Lin Beibei contacted a moving company, moved all her belongings, and quickly moved to another hotel.

Along the way, there were also photos of Gu Tingyun that Qin Xuewei had secretly taken. Half of his face was swollen, and the finger marks on his face were very clear.

Qin Xuewei said that Gu Tingyun was stubborn and refused to admit that he was hit. He insisted that he had accidentally fallen while walking and that he had even left a slap mark on his face.

After Gu Tingyun left, Qin Xuewei laughed so hard in the hospital room that her stomach hurt.

"How did you end up in the hospital? Are you injured?"

Qin Xuewei sent an eye-rolling emoji, saying that she got out of her car to argue with the person who hit her car, and accidentally got a minor scrape. Gu Tingyun insisted on making a big fuss to take her to the hospital, and even arranged for all the doctors in the hospital to come to her ward to treat her.

"He's a lunatic. If he had been any slower, my wound would have healed by now. It's one thing for the orthopedic and obstetric doctors to be called in, but the pediatricians were called in too."

Now it was Lin Beibei's turn to sigh.

Being entangled with a mentally ill person is not a good thing, because mentally ill people can kill without breaking the law.

Upon arriving at the new hotel, Lin Beibei moved all her belongings inside.

This time, she gritted her teeth and spent a lot of money to book a luxury suite for six months, and repeatedly instructed that no one should be allowed into her room.

She doesn't have a boyfriend, and her family will contact her when they come over; no one needs to get her room key under any pretext.

"Madam, please rest assured that our hotel is absolutely safe, unlike the hotels you stayed at before."

When a competitor suddenly stabs them in the back, they are naturally happy to step on that competitor to rise to the top.

Lin Beibei settled into a new hotel, undisturbed, and the knowledge quickly entered her brain.

I never expected to run into Yao Xuan here.

He also stays in hotels for extended periods.

"Didn't you buy a house?"

Lin Beibei felt something was strange, since Yao Xuan had said he planned to develop his career in China.

"I bought it and it's under renovation. I was thinking that renting a place is not as convenient as staying in a hotel, and the hotel also provides three meals a day, which I'm not very good at cooking."

Lin Beibei nodded, showing no intention of continuing the conversation.

Although he's the older brother next door, after so many years apart, people change, and now we can practically call him a stranger.

When Yao Xuan brought up the incident from last time, he hesitated before asking, "Was that your boyfriend last time?"

Lin Beibei quickly denied it, "Of course not."

Yao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Beibei, don't get too close to him. He's not a good person, and he has a fiancée."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for reminding me."

After finishing her meal, Lin Beibei prepared to return to her room to continue studying.

Yao Xuan followed, saying, "Let me take you."

"No need, no need, you go ahead with your work."

What's so great about the hotel that they give away freebies? Nobody stays on the same floor.

Sending and receiving things back and forth only creates more trouble.

Yao Xuan then suggested inviting Lin Beibei to dinner.

Lin Beibei still refused, "No need, I have a lot of things to do lately, I don't have time."

"Let's talk about it when you have time. I'm really sorry about what happened last time."

"It has nothing to do with you."

After all, who can fathom the thoughts of a madman like Gu Tingyun?

Lin Beibei is now on high alert, fearing that Gu Tingyun might go crazy and act recklessly.

I don't want to have anything to do with Yao Xuan.
