Chapter 553: Campus (10)
Wen Wan grabbed Gu Qiao's arm, pointed to the wound and said, "You're fine? I just got slapped and it hurts so much. You have so many injuries, how can you be fine? Hurry up and go, don't make me worry, and don't ignore it, otherwise it will affect your tutoring. I'm your employer, and you'll affect my grades."
Gu Qiao: "..."
My arm felt like it had been burned, especially the part that was being grabbed.
In the end, Gu Qiao still went to apply the medicine, and naturally, the matter concerning Wen Wan was not kept from Wei's parents, since the driver had already contacted the Wei family from the beginning.
When Wei's mother heard that her beloved son had been beaten, she immediately drove over.
Seeing his son's face, his eyes reddened, while Wei's father had already gone to the police station to negotiate.
"Amin, are you alright?"
Wen Wan feigned grievance, "Mom, it hurts so much. How dare he hit me? No one has ever hit me before."
The show came so quickly that even Gu Qiao was somewhat surprised.
Afterwards, Wen Wan introduced Gu Qiao to Wei's mother, "This is Gu Qiao, my classmate. He's the top student in our school, a famous academic genius. I've been making rapid progress lately, haven't I? It's because he tutors me every day. He's amazing."
Mother Wei: "Thank you, Gu, for tutoring my son, A-Ming."
Gu Qiao: "You're welcome."
“If I hadn’t come today, Gu Qiao would have been beaten to death by his father. I used to think that there were no fathers in the world who didn’t love their children, but I didn’t expect that not everyone is a good father like my dad. He is so pitiful.”
Mother Wei: "..."
Wei's mother glanced at Gu Qiao, who was being led away by her child. She had initially thought that Gu Qiao was somewhat involved in the matter, but now she didn't blame her, since Gu Qiao hadn't done it on purpose.
"Mom, you must help me teach that man a lesson. He not only hit me, but he also extorted money from me."
Mother Wei: "Don't worry, Ming. Your father is gone. How dare he hit a child from the Wei family? He's asking for trouble. Shall we go home?"
Wen Wan nodded, and then went home with Wei's mother. Before leaving, she gave Gu Qiao a smug look.
Gu Qiao: "..."
...
Wei's parents were furious about this. If it was domestic violence against Gu Qiao, he would probably just be locked up for a few days, just like before.
But who told him to mess with the Wei family?
The Wei family directly sued him for intentional injury and attempted extortion.
During the prosecution, they sent people to investigate this person, and they almost stripped him bare. This person was not clean to begin with.
Gambling, assault, colluding with organized crime, borrowing money at exorbitant interest rates, and so on.
He was directly prosecuted by the Wei family's lawyer and eventually sentenced to seven years in prison. Wen Wan wished he would stay in prison until he died, but she was still satisfied with the outcome.
Wei's father said that even if he got out, he would have a hundred ways to get him back in.
Wen Wan naturally believed it. Besides, seven years was enough time for the male protagonist to grow. By then, he might not need Wei's father and could solve the problem on his own.
The neighbors all knew about Gu Qiao's father's situation. Who would have thought that Gu's father had been abusing his family for so many years, and that Gu Qiao's mother had even committed suicide because of domestic violence? The police couldn't do anything about it.
I never imagined I'd end up in jail for seven years.
This made them very happy.
They also sent Gu Qiao a lot of things, food and drinks. Actually, they weren't bad people, they were just afraid.
But when the fear disappears, the goodness of human nature naturally emerges.
Gu Qiao continued to tutor Wen Wan. He didn't want to charge her, but Wen Wan refused, saying, "How can you not charge me? Your father's affairs have nothing to do with you. He was punished because he hit me. If you really want to repay me, then tutor me properly and don't think about anything else."
Gu Qiao nodded, grateful to Wei Ming.
He would keep this gratitude in his heart. He had been in despair, feeling that he would live in pain for the rest of his life, and had even thought of a hundred ways to kill that person.
He was almost at his breaking point when someone unexpectedly came to his rescue and brought him out.
Looking at the other person's face, the redness and swelling had subsided, leaving only a small red mark.
He promised that he would protect the other person well in the future, as if he were repaying a debt.
...
The news of Wen Wan being beaten naturally couldn't be kept from too many people, after all, her father was very high-profile.
Hua Hu and the others naturally found out as well. They never expected that Wei Ming would actually ask Gu Qiao for tutoring, and what they didn't expect even more was that Wei Shao would actually be injured by a gambler.
Bai Linlin felt heartbroken and touched Wen Wan's face.
"Does it still hurt?"
Wen Yan: "..."
"I've been resting for several days and the pain is gone. Besides, that person will be stuck in prison for the rest of his life. I'm fine now."
Bai Linlin: I still feel sorry for her.
How can a cat be hit when it's so afraid of pain?
Ouyang Feng: "If you need any help, you can come to me. If you need tutoring, Qilian and I can both help you. There's no need to find outsiders."
Wen Yan: "???"
“Brother Ouyang, you have to go to class and work at the company every day, how could I ask you to tutor me? As for Qilian, he has to attend so many competition classes and participate in so many competitions every day, I can’t let him interfere with his studies, can I?” Looking at Huahu eagerly, “Your grades are not as good as mine, why should I ask you? Gu Qiao is very good, he is number one in his class, and he teaches much better than the teachers. From now on, he is my man, you can’t bully him.”
Hua Hu: "How could that be! Since he's A-Ming's friend, he's naturally our friend too."
Wen Yan: "..."
There's something about Huahu Lake that seems a bit unreliable.
The female lead also learned about this and thanked her on Gu Qiao's behalf, saying that she would definitely repay her and would do anything she was asked to.
Wen Yan: "..."
Thank you. As long as you stay away from the male lead and don't cause too much trouble, I'll be grateful.
After that, Wen Wan would occasionally go to Gu Qiao's house for tutoring, and their relationship took a qualitative leap. It was indeed a relationship of sharing hardships.
Originally, Wei's father did not agree to her playing with Gu Qiao. However, after seeing her grades steadily improve, he also investigated Gu Qiao thoroughly and found that he was indeed an extremely outstanding person. Moreover, he had started investing in stocks in private. Although the initial capital was small, he had a good eye and made money almost every time.
Wei's father could tell that Gu Qiao was a smart person, and if he was allowed to grow up, he might have unlimited potential in the future.
So they tacitly allowed their son to play with the other person.
Soon, the first semester ended, and Wen Wan even ranked in the top ten in the final exam.
This is entirely thanks to the male lead; without his daily tutoring, she really wouldn't be able to do it.
Afterwards, Hua Hu suggested going on a trip, and Qi Lian agreed. Almost everyone else agreed as well. Ouyang Feng was also able to take a few days off to travel. Wen Wan naturally wanted to go too, but she was thinking about the male lead. What if something happened to the male lead if she went on a trip?
So he decided to take the male and female leads with him. Why take the female lead along? The reason is simple: if something happens to her, the male lead will have to go and save her. It's better to keep her under his nose so that at least nothing will happen.
So during the tutoring session, Wen Wan told Gu Qiao, "It's okay if you don't want to go. I'm not forcing you to go."
Gu Qiao: "I'll go."
"Huh?" Wen Wan was genuinely surprised, but also very happy. "Then it's settled, let's go together."
Afterwards, Wen Wan asked the female lead, who also agreed that Hua Hu would cover everyone's expenses.
...
Soon we'll be getting ready to go on a trip.
Wei's mother packed a lot of things for Wen Wan. Wen Wan took several large suitcases to the airport where they were to meet, and the driver helped her check them in.
Hua Hu and the others also arrived. Bai Linlin, wearing a pretty dress, walked up to Wen Wan and said, "Brother Wei is wearing pink today, so cute."
Wen Yan: "..."
She was wearing a pink sweatshirt, which her mother had given her. She hadn't wanted to wear it at first, but in the end, she couldn't resist her mother's insistence.
"You are beautiful too."
Soon almost everyone had arrived, except for the male and female leads.
Chen Mingyue said as she walked alongside Ouyang Feng, "Why bring those two along? They're completely unnecessary."
Wen Wan frowned. "I was the one who called out. Are you blaming me?"
Chen Mingyue: "..."
Chen Mingyue fell silent. At that moment, the male and female leads arrived. The female lead wore a floral dress. Although she wasn't stunningly beautiful, she was elegant and refined. Moreover, due to her charm, she attracted a lot of attention.
What truly captivated Wen Wan was not the female lead, but the male lead.
The male lead actually cut his hair, revealing his entire face. Every feature was exquisitely sculpted and perfectly proportioned. He was arguably the most handsome man Wen Wan had ever seen, no less so than these so-called princes.
Even passersby couldn't help but look up at him.
Hua Hu and the others were also shocked. Hua Hu looked at Gu Qiao and said, "This is Gu Qiao? Gu Qiao actually looks like this? He's so handsome."
Hua Hu rarely admits that someone is more handsome than him, but Gu Qiao is excessively handsome.
Even Ouyang Feng and Qi Lian were somewhat surprised, let alone the others.
Bai Linlin: "Goodness, is this a completely different person?"
Wen Wan nodded, "Sure enough, hairstyle plays a crucial role in determining appearance; changing your hairstyle is like changing your face!"
"Now that everyone's here, let's go. The plane is about to board."
Hua Hu booked all first-class tickets. Wen Wan happened to be sitting next to Gu Qiao, while the female lead was sitting next to Ouyang Feng.
Bai Linlin frowned and looked at Gu Qiao. "Gu Qiao, let's switch seats. I want to sit with Prince Wei."
Gu Qiao: "No change."
Bai Linlin: "???"
Wen Wan looked at Bai Linlin, "Linlin, you can sit behind me and we can talk! Besides, you can't just change seats like this, so don't bully Gu Qiao."
Bai Linlin: "Okay."
She was still very angry, but since the cat had said so, she had no choice but to give up.
After that, every time Bai Linlin wanted to feed her cat, Gu Qiao would already have food and water ready for her. But Gu Qiao had already prepared food and water for her cat as well. Bai Linlin became even angrier. What did Gu Qiao mean? Was he trying to steal her cat? Unforgivable!
