Chapter 174 A Mature Adult
"Tu Su Min Fei, please stop belittling others like this."
Gu Yuexuan retorted coldly: "Tu Subo is your brother."
"Also, it was me, your respected sister-in-law, who saved you just now. You'd better be polite, kid, otherwise I will teach you a lesson right away."
Although she couldn't defeat so many thugs, wasn't it easy for her to teach a single opponent like Tu Su Minfei a lesson?
Complex emotions suddenly surged in Tu Su Minfei's heart, as if a bottle of seasoning that had been stored for years had been overturned, and all he tasted on his tongue was an indescribable bitterness.
He sneered, "Why, in Tu Subo's eyes, you are omnipotent and cannot tolerate any criticism?"
Gu Yuexuan crossed her arms. Although her face was covered with a black cloth, the dissatisfaction in her tone was obvious.
"otherwise?"
"Tu Su Min Fei, I'm too lazy to ask how you provoked those scoundrels, nor am I interested in exploring your past, but I must tell you that your mother is waiting for you at the tea stand in front of the gambling house. I came here with her."
Tu Su Minfei was suddenly shocked after hearing this, but Gu Yuexuan's tone was calm without any fluctuation.
"I have important matters to attend to. I don't have time to play cat and mouse with you. Please find a way to get me out of here, otherwise..."
"I can let you taste my power now without waiting for Tu Subo to arrive."
Gu Yuexuan's words sounded like she was joking, but the dagger held tightly in her hand showed no sign of loosening.
Even though she had temporarily escaped from the predicament, Gu Yuexuan still remained highly alert.
Tu Su Minfei was very familiar with that dagger.
It was a sharp weapon that his father had forged with his own hands, using a piece of rare black iron he had found during Tu Subo's coming-of-age ceremony. Tu Subo rarely showed it to anyone, not even his brother Tu Su Minxu, who had never had the chance to touch it.
However, this dagger was now tightly held in Gu Yuexuan's hand.
A strange feeling suddenly came over her, and a thought flashed through her mind involuntarily: If it was Tu Subo who was present at this moment, she would definitely not be as nervous as she is now.
Tu Subo can bring her a sense of peace.
Tu Subo can also protect her.
Tu Suminfei exhaled a deep breath of helplessness, bit the tip of his tongue tightly, and slowly stood up against the wall: "Come with me, I will take you away from here first."
He has been working in the gambling house for a long time and has summed up a unique set of survival rules during countless long nights.
Gu Yuexuan still had a black cloth covering her head. She tightly grasped the crutch handed to her by Tu Su Minfei, and followed him around, turning left and right, until she finally arrived at the side door of the gambling house.
Tu Su Min Fei pulled out ten taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to her. "Your head is wrapped tightly. Cao Shisan and the others may not recognize your face, but they will definitely be impressed by your clothes. There's a clothing store just around the corner. Go there and change your clothes first."
"I'll leave here in half a quarter of an hour."
In order to avoid being noticed by the Yu family, they had to leave at different times.
Gu Yuexuan gently tossed the silver in her hand and caught it again, saying in a complicated tone, "Third Uncle said that your monthly allowance is only two taels of silver. Could this silver be the money you won from gambling?"
Tu Su Minfei's expression suddenly became very strange.
It’s not wrong to say that it’s gambling money.
But he didn't win it himself.
He turned his head slightly stiffly and said sarcastically, "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood me. How could I possibly win the gambling money?"
"Put away your dagger and be careful."
Don’t refuse the free money.
Gu Yuexuan raised her hand lightly, threw the silver into the air, caught it steadily, and said nonchalantly, "I know, I'll be there in half a minute."
She ignored Tu Su Minfei's back as he blended into the crowd, and she walked around the seasoning shop and returned to her starting point.
The owner of the spice shop saw her and immediately smiled: "Hey, girl, you're back."
Gu Yuexuan still maintained a polite smile: "I'm here to pick up the items I left with you."
"Well, that chili powder is really good. Could you please weigh another two kilograms for me?"
Gu Yuexuan gently shook out the silver-white cloak she had stored away and put it on again. This cloak not only perfectly covered her original clothes, but also brought a warm feeling like spring, which made her take a deep breath.
Carrying the grace of life she received from Tu Su Minfei, she was in a good mood and strolled along the streets, enjoying the pleasure of consumption.
When she slowly walked back to her original place, she found Yu was talking with Tu Su Minfei.
Tu Su Minfei seemed to have been carefully groomed, and his previous disheveled appearance had faded away. Now he was well-dressed and even looked quite respectable.
There was no trace of his recent desperate escape or street brawl. His eyes lightly swept over Gu Yuexuan's cloak, and he stood up from the low stool at the tea stall and nodded to her politely but distantly: "Sister-in-law."
Hey, this kid.
Gu Yuexuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. She said calmly, "Second Aunt, how are things going over there? How about I go over there and take a look?"
Seeing that Tu Su Min Fei was safe and sound, Yu Shi felt relieved and immediately replied, "Alright, alright. I was just taking a look anyway. There's no need to say so much."
She was worried about Tu Su Minfei, but Tu Su Minfei was already a mature adult.
Too many instructions seemed unnecessary. Just knowing that he was safe and sound was her greatest comfort.
Yu pondered for a moment, then held Tu Su Minfei's hand tightly and asked in a low voice, "As for your father... is he causing you any trouble lately?"
"Does he still cause you trouble?"
Tu Suminfei smiled gently and replied, "No."
"Mother, this isn't our home. Father and I are here to work. We have someone in charge to take care of all matters, big and small. There's no excuse for us to cause trouble. Just relax and don't worry."
Yu sighed heavily with an indescribable complex emotion.
"I'm glad you're okay. Otherwise, Tu Suminyang would be worried about your safety at home."
"Chinese New Year's Eve is less than a month away. When do you plan to take leave and go home to reunite with your family?"
There are many things going on in the world, but no matter what, the Chinese New Year is always a time for the whole family to get together.
No matter what the family circumstances are, the whole family gathers together and shares a warm reunion dinner, which is considered to be a perfect end to the year. Otherwise, it always feels that there is a lack of harmony and warmth.
Tu Suminfei has a detailed plan for this. He smiled and said, "Although time is tight, I will definitely go back on New Year's Eve."
"Mom, when you go back, ask the children at home what New Year gifts they would like to receive. When I get paid at the end of the year, I'll buy some for them and bring them back."
Yu nodded with a smile, agreed to his request, and gave him a few detailed instructions before letting him leave.
When Tu Su Minfei passed by Gu Yuexuan, he skillfully cast an imperceptible glance to her left rear, where two men who seemed to be doing nothing were standing.
He whispered to Gu Yuexuan, so that only she could hear him: "Those two will be responsible for escorting you back safely. Be sure to pay attention."
Gu Yuexuan raised her eyebrows slightly and replied disapprovingly: "Okay, I'll remember that."
