Huo Ju was really afraid of Gu Huainian.
Because Gu Huainian is Gu Ying's brother, he loves his sister Gu Ying to the core. He and Gu Ying were originally engaged, but Gu Huainian not only wanted to break off the engagement but also ran away from the marriage, which completely touched Gu Huainian's sore spot.
Gu Huainian beat him almost every time he saw him.
Huo Ju always avoided him, but he never expected that he would run into this plague god again on the street this time.
As soon as he saw Gu Huainian, Huo Ju felt his hair stand on end. He was so scared that he even forgot to run away and tried his best to shrink behind Tang Li.
Although Gu Huainian is a rough man, he never hits women, so Tangtang is his umbrella of protection.
He wanted to hide behind Tangtang. However, Tangtang was too small to completely block him. Huo Ju could only make sure his head was blocked.
Gu Huainian put the two children down. The children's parents rushed up, hugged the children, and thanked Gu Huainian profusely before leaving.
Tang Li looked at the tall man before her. This was her original body's brother, connected to this body by blood. Her brother was quite handsome, tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and very handsome. Combined with her own appearance, it seemed that the Gu family had good genes.
Gu Huainian also looked at Tang Li. His gaze paused for a moment before landing on Huo Ju. His expression suddenly turned cold: "Huo Ju, it's you again! You still have the guts to appear before me?"
"Why can't I appear on this street? This street is not yours!" Huo Ju stuck his head out and said indignantly. After that, he met Gu Huainian's cold eyes and quickly shrank behind Tang Li.
As soon as Gu Huainian saw Huo Ju, he thought of his escape from marriage.
His sister was such a good girl, why did Huo Ju, a dandy, despise her? He even ran away from the marriage, causing others to gossip behind her back. Even if she despised him, it should be Ah Ying who despised him. Even if she wanted to run away from the marriage, it should be his Ah Ying who should run away!
Gu Huainian suddenly felt angry and walked towards Huo Ju.
Huo Ju felt that he couldn't escape a beating, so he threw his head out and said, "Gu Huainian, don't go too far. What if I don't like Gu Ying? You treasure your sister, but I just don't like her! Although I ran away from the engagement, I gave your family the opportunity to cancel the engagement. I gave you face! Our Huo family is not going too far!"
"If you're angry, just hit me a few times, that's all! Now all these years have passed, and it's never going to end, right? I can't stand this anger anymore, if you have the guts, beat me to death!"
Gu Huainian stretched out his hand to grab Huo Ju, and Huo Ju was also ready to receive a beating. At this moment, Tang Li stopped Gu Huainian.
Tang Li understood what was going on from the conversation between the two.
Huo Ju was originally engaged to Gu Ying, but he ran away from the marriage because he didn't want to marry her. Although it was the Gu family who took the initiative to cancel the engagement, Gu Huainian, the doting sister-loving demon, still harbored a grudge against Huo Ju...
In the novel, after Gu Ying was reborn and returned to the Gu family, she was doted on by everyone. Everyone in the Gu family doted on her and would not let her suffer any grievances.
Now it really matches the setting in the novel.
Tang Li once again felt that the original self in the novel was too pitiful.
His identity was taken away, his family was taken away, his love was taken away...
Tang Li looked at Gu Huainian.
"Mr. Gu, can you listen to me?" Tang Li said.
Gu Huainian looked at Tang Li. In fact, he had a liking for this girl from the first moment he saw her. That liking came inexplicably. He had a bad temper and wanted to grab Huo Ju and beat him up, but now that he heard what this girl said, he suppressed his anger and waited for her to continue.
"Mr. Gu, my name is Tangli, and I'm Huo Ju's adopted sister." Tangli stated her identity and said in an orderly manner, "Marriage is a matter of mutual consent. You may think your sister is great, but my brother doesn't like her. Forced marriages don't work, and my brother ran away from the marriage. This behavior was indeed not good. However, the Huo family gave the initiative to cancel the engagement to the Gu family, preserving the Gu family's reputation. It's understandable that Mr. Gu felt angry and stood up for his sister and beat my brother up. But beating him up every time he saw me is too aggressive."
Tang Li paused for a moment and continued, "Now, Miss Gu is also engaged to the Third Prince, and has found a perfect match. It seems that canceling the engagement was a wise move. Now that times have changed, please forgive my brother, Master Gu, and move on."
Gu Huainian doted on Gu Ying to the core. In the past, he would not listen to anything that was not in her favor. But today, he actually listened to what this girl said and thought it made sense.
Indeed, Ah Ying and the Third Prince had already been engaged and would soon be married. The Third Prince was infinitely superior to this dandy boy and a perfect match. Why should he dwell on the past and hesitate?!
"The girl is right." Gu Huainian looked at Huo Ju, "I won't beat you again."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Huo Ju was stunned when he saw Gu Huainian's back.
He was prepared to get a beating and then lie down for four or five days, and his butt was sticking up.
He didn't want to be beaten, and he was afraid of the pain, but there was nothing he could do. He was no match for the plague god Gu Huainian, so he could only take the beating!
As a result, this plague god actually let him go!
Huo Ju looked at Tang Li with sparkling eyes.
It was Tangtang who saved him!
Tangtang is very eloquent and actually convinced the plague god!
Tangtang is so handsome!
"Tangtang, I love you so much!" Huo Ju said, and pounced towards Tangli.
Then, a hand was placed against his chest, and the owner of the hand was Bai Muyang.
Xiaotang is already married. Although they are sworn brother and sworn sister, they still cannot be too close, otherwise it will be bad for his sister's reputation.
"Don't be so clumsy." Bai Muyang lectured, then looked at Tang Li and became gentle again, "Are you hungry? The dishes we just ordered should be served. Let's go eat."
The three of them returned to the box and had lunch.
Bai Muyang and Huo Ju were both desperately trying to put food into Tangli's bowl. Tangli actually quite liked the feeling of being spoiled by his brother and enjoyed the meal very much.
After the three of them finished their meal, they left the restaurant.
As soon as he left the restaurant, he came towards a young man in a flashy purple outfit. He was about the same age as Huo Ju, with a pair of peach blossom eyes and loose clothes, looking a bit playful.
Huo Ju looked at him, then walked a few steps to the side with disgust, away from him.
The young man also saw Huo Ju, and seemed to be extremely disgusted. He snorted twice and looked at him with disdain.
At this moment, a girl suddenly rushed up and hugged the showy young man.
"Gu Lang, I finally found you, it's great!"
"Why have you been missing for a while? I've been looking for you for a long time. I thought you didn't want me anymore. Didn't you say you wanted to marry me? Why are you gone? Did something happen to you? Gu Lang, you definitely won't abandon me, right?"
The girl hugged the showy young man and cried with joy.
