☆、Silent Man
With pictures to prove it, everyone believed Chu Yaofeng's story. They pointed at Gu Li, calling her promiscuous and shameless. Some young girls even scolded her for being blind, abandoning her handsome and rich boyfriend to seduce someone who looked refined and decent, but whose temperament and appearance couldn't compare to her boyfriend's.
"You guys are the ones who've got your heads stuck in a door or kicked by a donkey. What's it to you, you busybodies?"
These people are all just bored and have nothing better to do than spew nonsense. Why should they bother commenting on other people's business? Gu Li retorted defiantly. In fact, the person she most wanted to slap was that man who deliberately threw mud at her, then pretended to be pitiful, covering his face with his hands while laughing gloatingly. He was incredibly annoying.
asshole!
Gu Li's face flushed red and then turned pale. It felt like tens of thousands of tons of gunpowder were buried in her chest, and the fuse had been lit. She could no longer control her temper. She clenched her fists tightly, ready to go all out and teach Chu Yaofeng a lesson.
At this moment, Gu Ziqian suddenly rushed forward to separate the two, protecting Gu Li behind him. He tilted his head slightly, his angry eyes meeting Chu Yaofeng's nonchalant dark eyes with neither arrogance nor servility.
"Want to hit me?" Chu Yaofeng sneered disdainfully, glancing at his right hand. It wasn't because his right hand was particularly handsome, but because... that hand was tightly gripping Gu Li's wrist. His expression remained unchanged, but his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
"Chu Yaofeng, you can target me however you want, but Miss Gu is innocent. Please don't take your anger out on her." Gu Ziqian's face was gloomy, and his sharp eyes had the glint of an eagle.
"What I do with my woman is none of your business. If you want to be my protector, go ahead and hit me." Chu Yao scoffed, stepped forward, and then slammed his arm hard. He was a trained fighter with very strong muscles. Gu Ziqian, a mere scholar, couldn't withstand such a forceful bump. He staggered back a few steps. If he hadn't been holding onto Gu Li tightly, and if Gu Li hadn't supported him, he might have fallen.
"President Gu, are you alright? Chu Yaofeng, you bastard..." Gu Li was genuinely distressed, especially seeing her older brother's face change as he clutched the spot where he had been hit. The culprit who had deliberately injured her was extremely arrogant, with a mocking smile on his lips, which made her furious. She wished she could pounce on him and tear his smiling face to shreds.
Gu Ziqian pulled her back. After all, Chu Yaofeng was not someone she could afford to offend. It was a feud between the two of them, and he didn't want Gu Li to be implicated. He already felt bad about letting her get caught in the middle and be tricked by Chu Yaofeng.
Gu Li was furious and had nowhere to vent her anger. She knew what Gu Ziqian was thinking. To be honest, she didn't want to provoke Chu Yaofeng, that bastard. But she really couldn't swallow this anger. Apart from glaring at him with all her might, wishing she could glare a thousand holes through him, she couldn't think of a good way to vent her anger for the time being.
Chu Yaofeng looked at the two of them with an arrogant air, his arms crossed coolly, a smirk on his lips, and a contemptuous look that clearly showed he despised Gu Ziqian as a good-for-nothing.
Even if he were worse, even if he bullied him to the point of defecating, he wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
The message conveyed by his eyes was arrogance, swagger, provocation, and lawless domineering.
But in reality, he was filled with anger and jealousy.
The more Gu Li protected Gu Ziqian, the more he disliked Gu Ziqian because of him, and the more he looked at him with disgust, anger, and contempt, the more he showed his worst side. Whoever made him unhappy, he would not let them have an easy time.
Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Gu Li's phone suddenly rang.
