Chapter 20: Arguing

Gu Shanshan's words caused Gong Ye's expression to change. He stopped in his tracks and looked at Gu Shanshan with a cold expression.

"Gu Shanshan, do you know what you're saying?"

Damn it, I was just about to introduce him to everyone as my other half; he was so good to Gu Shanshan.

What about Gu Shanshan?

Not only did she ignore him, she turned around and ran out of the banquet.

That's fine.

He could understand why Gu Shanshan ran away from the banquet because she didn't know anyone there.

He generously forgave him.

Gu Shanshan is quite something. She personally found him out, which is such an honor, but instead of being grateful, she scolded him the moment she saw him.

Gu Shanshan gave a sarcastic sneer and said with certainty.

"Of course I know, I'm not crazy."

Gu Shanshan's words made Gong Ye so angry that his lungs ached.

His hands, clenched into fists at his sides, seemed to wish he could punch Gu Shanshan to wake her up.

But he couldn't bring himself to do it, because he had already developed feelings for this little rascal.

"Gu Shanshan, I'm giving you one last chance. Take back what you just said, and I'll forgive you and not hold it against you for insulting me."

Gong Ye said this in a condescending tone.

This directly touched Gu Shanshan's sore spot.

He took a few steps back and spat at Gong Ye with disdain.

"Pah!"

After spitting out the word, a sarcastic sneer curled at the corner of his lips.

"Gong Ye, why should I take back those words? Why should I take them back? Is it because of your disgusting, arrogant attitude? So what if I cursed you? You disgust me!"

"Are you blind? I felt so disgusted when I saw you that I threw up."

"No one in this world disgusts me more than you."

As she spoke, Gu Shanshan pointed to Gong Ziyu, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

"Even he, I find him a thousand times more pleasing to the eye than you!"

Gong Ye was the culprit behind everything.

If he could, he really wanted to kill Gong Ye.

He truly couldn't understand what grudge he held against Gong Ye that made Gong Ye want to toy with his feelings and body like this.

"Gong Ye, I really don't understand. Since you were the one who gave me away to other men to play with, why did you pretend to be a savior and bring me out of the auction house in the end?"

"Do you want me to think you saved me, so I'll be grateful to you?"

"And you revel in my gratitude, watching me foolishly thank my enemy in my heart!"

One question after another came out of Gu Shanshan's mouth.

The handsome man in front of her suddenly became repulsive in Gu Shanshan's eyes.

Anger filled Gu Shanshan's heart, completely dispelling any trace of his reason.

Like a small animal that has been cruelly hurt, it howls and roars angrily at the person who hurt it.

"Gong Ye, I will never forgive you in this lifetime!"

After hearing so many curses directed at him, Gong Ye's expression became even more gloomy and terrifying, and he squeezed out a fierce sentence through gritted teeth.

"Gu Shanshan, you're asking for it!"

A large, claw-like hand reached out to grab Gu Shanshan, carrying the chilling aura of a sharp sofa.

But before his hand could even touch Gu Shanshan's body, Gu Shanshan suddenly took a step forward.

Gu Shanshan's action came suddenly. Gong Ye did not expect Gu Shanshan to step forward, and his movements froze for a moment.

Gu Shanshan immediately seized the opportunity and took the initiative to slap Gong Ye hard across the face.

Snap!

The loud slap echoed in the night, sounding particularly jarring.

Gu Shanshan slapped the man with intense resentment, without holding back at all.

The blow caused Gong Ye's handsome face to turn slightly to the side.

After delivering that slap, Gu Shanshan felt much better.

Gong Ziyu, who was sitting in a wheelchair next to him, was completely stunned.

This was the first time in his life he had ever seen Gong Ye get slapped.

No......

He was beaten.

For so many years, Gong Ye has been a genius since childhood, and his methods have been ruthless and vicious. He was naturally groomed to be the future head of the Gong family.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she is showered with love and affection.

Growing up surrounded by admirers, this favored son of heaven was someone no one dared to touch, let alone be beaten.

Gong Ziyu caught a glimpse of Gong Ye's gloomy and terrifying face, and turned his wheelchair back two steps, trying to leave.

But as soon as the wheelchair started to turn, a gurgling sound came from it.

Before Gong Ziyu could react, she looked up in terror and met Gong Ye's terrifying, murderous gaze.

The next second, the wheelchair was kicked away by Gong Ye with a hard kick.

Clang!

The wheelchair, carrying Gong Ziyu, overturned to the ground with a loud crash.

"ah......"

Gong Ziyu fell off the wheelchair and landed next to the flower bed, hitting her head directly on the edge of the tile, creating a hole.

At this moment, it was bleeding profusely and screaming in agony.

When Gu Shanshan looked over, she saw that the armrest of the wheelchair had been kicked off by Gong Ye, and there was also the scene of Gong Ziyu clutching his blood and screaming in agony.

The thought of slapping Gong Ye Na just now sent a chill down his spine.

But then she thought of Gong Ye's excessive actions, and her fear immediately vanished, replaced by resentment and disgust towards him.

He stared directly into Gong Ye's cold gaze with a firm and unyielding voice.

"Ha, don't think I'll be afraid of you just because of that. Let me tell you, I'm not afraid!"

As he spoke, he puffed out his chest, looking arrogant and as if to say, "What can you do to me?"

Gong Ye's face was clouded with gloom, and his jawline was taut and hard.

He gritted his teeth and shouted Gu Shanshan's name angrily, "Gu Shanshan!"

Although Gong Ye likes Gu Shanshan, his pride prevents him from confessing his feelings to her first.

Even when he had feelings for Gu Xingxian in the past, he never explicitly expressed them.

With his power, status, and wealth, Gu Shanshan should be grateful and confess her feelings to him first.

Gong Ye's pride made him keep his feelings to himself. Even if the two of them quarreled, he would never say anything soft.

"I'm here! What, you want to hit me too? Go ahead and hit me. It's not like this is the first time you've hurt me. Hitting me a few times is nothing, I bet you, Gong Ye, can do it with ease."

As he spoke, he deliberately brought his face close to Gong Ye's eyes.

Gong Ye's face turned ashen, and a fierce anger welled up inside him.

His hand was clenched into a fist at his side, and the bones cracked.

Like an angry lion, you never know when it will lose control of its emotions and suddenly bite the clueless little white rabbit to death.

Just when Gu Shanshan thought Gong Ye was really going to hit her, she was suddenly pushed by Gong Ye.

He took a few steps back.

While Gu Shanshan was still in shock, she heard Gong Ye let out a furious roar from his throat.

"roll!"

The roar was deafening, showing just how furious Gong Ye was at that moment.

Gu Shanshan was stunned; he thought Gong Ye would hit him.

After all, he had provoked him so fiercely, yet Gong Ye had only told him to get lost.

However, he didn't want to be with Gong Ye at the moment, and sneered without thinking.

"Fine, I'll get out! Do you think I want to be around a piece of scum like you?!"

After uttering those words harshly, Gu Shanshan turned and left.

He didn't care that Gong Ye behind him was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

The butler remained silent in the back, not daring to breathe, lest he suffer the same fate as Gong Ziyu.

......

Gu Shanshan left as soon as she said she would, and she left decisively.

He left the hotel without even looking back.

Therefore, he did not see that as he left the hotel and passed the banquet hall, a gaze was fixed on him and followed him out of the hotel.

After leaving the hotel, Gu Shanshan touched her pocket and found only a cell phone inside.

He logged into his Alipay account, and when he saw that he only had 102 yuan left, the confidence he had had when arguing with Gong Ye just now vanished instantly.

It's only 102 yuan. This is a well-known wealthy area where there are no buses passing by, and even taxis are rare.

If he's lucky enough to hail a taxi, it will cost him over fifty yuan to get from here to his little rented room.

He'll only have fifty-two yuan left then.

In today's society, fifty-two yuan is only enough for two meals.

"Ugh, I'm so poor!"

Gu Shanshan rubbed her hair and roared in frustration.

Resigned to his fate, he continued walking, keeping an eye out for taxis passing by.

Otherwise, if he insisted on leaving, he wouldn't be able to reach his small rented room even if he walked until three or four in the morning.

Gu Shanshan walked for more than ten minutes, and the hotel was long gone, no longer visible in sight.

I walked until my throat was dry, but I didn't see a single taxi pass by.

Just when Gu Shanshan was about to despair, she heard the sound of a vehicle coming from behind.

Gu Shanshan turned around in surprise and saw a taxi driving towards her from a distance of a few hundred meters away.

The taxis displayed "Available" on their roofs.

Gu Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief, a look of joy on her face, and stood by the roadside, waving at a taxi.

Jin Datong, who was in the car, saw Gu Shanshan standing there with a silly look on her face, waving at his car.

A cold expression appeared on his face, and he spat out a curse.

"Damn it, Gu Shanshan, I've finally found you! You made me lose my job and I'm bullied and ostracized by everyone. I'll kill you today to get my revenge!"

After uttering those vicious words, Jin Datong slammed his foot on the gas pedal, hurtling straight towards Gu Shanshan standing by the roadside...
