Three bodyguards rushed over and started fighting with Gu Tingzhi.
With one hand holding Lin Benen, Gu Tingzhi faced the enemy with the other. Lin Benen was not favored in the family, and his bodyguards were not much better. They were big, but they were all just bluffing. Gu Tingzhi took them down in a few moves.
Lin Benen was stunned; it was the first time he had ever seen a Chinese person so capable.
He was surprised to find that he had actually defeated the tall, handsome Chinese man. Looking at the bodyguard lying on the ground groaning in pain, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction. Finally, a Chinese person could defeat them. They always used his mixed Chinese heritage to look down on him, but now he was no better than them.
Gu Tingzhi grabbed Lin Benen's hand and shoved him far away with force. "From now on, avoid her if you see her. Otherwise, I'll beat you every time I see you. Get lost!"
Having seen blood, the man unleashed his full power, and these bluffing thugs were naturally no match for him, quickly scrambling to their feet and running far away.
Gu Tingzhi came over, took Meng Fuyan's hand, and looked her up and down. "Are you alright?"
Meng Fuyan shook her head, "It's nothing, just a small-time hoodlum, nothing to worry about."
"Shout for help next time you're in danger. Most people here look down on Chinese people. Many men will harass pretty girls. Don't take it lightly."
"knew!"
The two returned to their seats. Gu Tingzhi had finished eating, grabbed his coat, and prepared to leave.
Many eyes were still focused on Meng Fuyan. Today she was wearing a red dress with wide shoulders and a few pleats at the chest, a very girlish style that suited her age perfectly.
She wasn't the delicate, fragile type; instead, she possessed a striking, even slightly aggressive, beauty. Her long hair, reaching her waist, was styled into beautiful curls and half-tied up on her head.
Her vibrant colors and fair skin made her stand out in a crowd.
Gu Tingzhi glanced at the people around him, draped his coat over her shoulders, and led her away.
Let's go!
Walking in the mall, Gu Tingzhi reminded her, "In the future, if I'm not with you, you must bring Chen Ying with you. It's not safe for you to be out alone."
Meng Fuyan never hesitated over such matters. "Don't worry, I will. I'll always take someone with me when I go out from now on, okay?"
Gu Tingzhi nodded, but he was still a little unhappy.
He was naturally upset that this happened on his first time taking his girlfriend out.
"I'll go back and find out who that person is, and then find a chance to teach him a lesson."
Meng Fuyan laughed, "No need to investigate, I know him. He's a spoiled brat, an illegitimate son of the James family. Moreover, his mother is Chinese. Because he is of mixed race, the family looks down on Chinese people, so his status in the family is very low and he has always been bullied."
"However, his mother is a very... well, a Western-worshipping person. Because she has been ridiculed too much for her Chinese identity and has never been able to turn her life around, she desperately wants to become like a Westerner and look down on Chinese people in order to distinguish herself from them."
"But, after all, he is Chinese, and there are many habits that he can't change. He also wants to learn from Westerners, so he often does things that are neither Chinese nor Western."
Gu Tingzhi: "..."
"How do you know him? Has he been to China?"
"No," Meng Fuyan made up an excuse. "I heard about it when I was in China, when I listened to foreigners gossiping. I even saw it in the newspapers here. Their attire is so distinctive that it's easy to spot them."
Gu Tingzhi didn't press further. He knew that Meng Fuyan used to interact with foreigners frequently with her mother, so it wasn't surprising that she knew some foreign gossip.
The two strolled around for a while. The goods here were more abundant than in China. There were tall buildings everywhere, and the shopping malls had everything. Shopping here was very enjoyable.
Gu Tingzhi was still happy to buy clothes, shoes, bags and various jewelry for Meng Fuyan. In the past, it was inconvenient to wear nice things when buying them in China, but now he didn't have to worry about that. It didn't matter if the things were expensive or not.
"How about this for Brother Lu? He'll definitely like it," Meng Fuyan said, holding up a watch.
Gu Tingzhi paused, noticing that she had already started picking out gifts for her family.
Clothes, shoes, wallets, belts, pens, watches, hats, scarves—she bought everything she set her sights on.
Judging from the style, it belongs to several people, probably Lu's older brothers, Meng Yunji, Lu Jianjun, and others.
He bought a whole bunch of things, and finally Gu Tingzhi called someone to send this batch home first.
Afterwards, she went to see a movie. However, at this time, the golden age of Hollywood movies had not yet arrived, and many classic movies had not yet been released. Meng Fuyan had seen modern films, so watching this kind of movie at this time was a bit unusual.
I fell asleep while watching it.
By the time we came out of the movie theater, it was almost dark. After having dinner, we prepared to go home.
However, it was clearly not the same house they went to before.
Meng Fuyan looked at the house in front of her and blinked. "Is this yours too?"
It's a two-story villa, not as big as the previous one, but not small either; it must be several hundred square meters in total.
Gu Tingzhi parked the car, smiled, and came over to take her hand. "There's no rush to go back. Let's stay here for a while."
He finally managed to get out of town, how could he possibly go back so soon?
The meaning in his eyes was quite clear.
Meng Fuyan glared at him and went inside with him to take a look.
The house here is decorated in a very fresh and clean style, with large areas of green used. The color scheme is quite bold, and Meng Fuyan likes it very much.
"This looks beautiful, did you do the decorating?"
Gu Tingzhi shook his head, "No, I've only been here for a few months. Even if we started renovations as soon as we arrived, it would be finished at the earliest, and we can't move in right now!"
"This was a Chinese renovation, but they were facing financial difficulties and wanted to sell. I immediately took a liking to the renovation here and thought you might like it, so I bought it."
"The renovation has been going on for over a year. We used high-quality materials and haven't lived here much. The furniture is all new. After I bought it, I had it thoroughly cleaned and replaced some frequently used furniture, like the bed and the bathtub in the bathroom. Let's go upstairs and take a look."
There are three rooms upstairs, and a large terrace; the environment is quite nice.
Meng Fuyan went to the master bedroom and collapsed onto the bed. "I'm going to rest for a bit, I'm exhausted!"
Gu Tingzhi sat down next to her, his eyes burning as he looked at her delicate body. "Go take a bath before you sleep. I'll run you a bath."
After saying that, he got up and went to the bathroom.
Meng Fuyan opened her mouth, as if to say that she didn't want to wash or move.
