An hour later, the Gu family's housekeeper hurried over.
Dressed in a well-tailored suit, with a gentle smile on his face, he politely thanked Xihe as soon as he saw her: "Thank you, Miss Jiang, for saving my young master."
Xihe said indifferently, "Don't Gu's parents have time?"
The housekeeper smiled gently, "The master and his wife will be here soon. Thank you, Jiang, for your bravery in saving our young master. You are truly very brave. The master and his wife will definitely thank you."
Xihe stood up: "No need, it's just a small favor."
He glanced at Gu Hui who was sleeping soundly in the ward and said, "Since classmate Gu is fine, I will go back first."
Butler Gu said hurriedly: "I'll ask the driver to take you."
-
When I got home, the huge villa was shrouded in darkness.
Xihe closed the door, changed into slippers, and went straight to the original owner's room on the second floor. The window faced a tall banyan tree. The nanny had closed the window to keep the wind and rain out.
The bedroom is decorated in white, elegantly and cleanly, and the roses on the balcony are in full bloom.
Xihe opened the cloakroom and took out a pair of pajamas that the original owner had never worn. He went into the bathroom. The bathroom had a non-slip floor. Xihe stood in front of the mirror.
Almond eyes, a small nose, rosy lips, and a delicate and slender sixteen-year-old figure.
Jiang Mo raised her hand, her fingertips sliding from her light eyebrows to her small chin: "Don't judge a person by his appearance."
I was in a hurry to go to class this morning and didn't have time to take a closer look. Now that I have taken a closer look, I find that this body looks particularly pure and beautiful, with delicate skin, and a slightly furrowed brow, with an indelible sadness.
Those who didn't know the situation might have thought she was a weak and easily bullied girl, but in fact, the original owner was terrifyingly scheming.
Jiang Mo, sixteen years old this year, is a marginal character in a Mary Sue novel. She does not seem to pose any threat and is just the daughter of a nouveau riche.
(...In Xihe's opinion, this is a novel written by Mary)
She was born into wealth, her father was busy with his career, and her mother was busy dealing with mistresses who kept coming after her.
Unlike the four great families of Guan, Xu, Gu and Ouyang that have prospered for hundreds of years, the Jiang family only rose to prominence during Jiang's father's generation. In the eyes of others, the Jiang family is not even qualified to speak to the four great families.
Father Jiang sent the original owner to school in the hope that she would get married into one of the four major families.
The original owner was ambitious. She also had a crush on Prince Gu, but he was not interested in her. Instead, he was fond of Shen Weiwei, who would play and joke with him.
The original owner was very distressed until one day, she discovered that the illegitimate son of the Gu family seemed to be interested in her.
What happened next...
Xihe stroked his brow, and the sadness was gradually dissipating.
The person who beat Gu Hui was hired by the original owner. She created a scene for herself where she was a hero saving a beauty. When Gu Hui was dying, she ran over to save him, and then left after the task was done, leaving Gu Hui deeply in love with her.
At this point, he became a loving spare tire, and the original owner did whatever he wanted.
As an illegitimate child, he was already unpopular, and now he was even more hated by Gu's father. In the end, he was ruthlessly kicked out of the house and completely turned into a gangster.
When Xihe arrived, it was already too late. The original owner was afraid of being implicated, so she didn't even add the contact information of those gangsters. She couldn't leave the school and could only go to rescue people according to the original plan.
After wiping his face, Xihe turned and walked into the bathroom. The shower turned on, and mist rose, blurring the glass...
For several days, Gu Hui did not come to school, and the atmosphere in the class gradually relaxed. The biggest excitement every day was that several princes came to play with Shen Weiwei, chatting and laughing, which made people very envious.
Xihe keeps a low profile in class and studies hard, just like the original owner.
The next time I saw Gu Hui was on the street.
The boy was wandering aimlessly on the street with his hands in his pockets. The bruises on his face were very obvious. He was still wearing the same clothes he wore today: a loose black T-shirt and overalls, which made his legs look very long.
His clothes were a little wrinkled, there were a few black footprints on the white shoes, his lips were tightly pursed, and he looked a little fierce.
A little girl selling flowers walked over and said timidly: "Brother, buy some flowers."
Gu Hui: walked past with an expressionless face.
The little girl blinked and chased after him: "Brother, brother..."
Gu Hui said impatiently: "Go away!"
Little girl: "Wow——" she burst into tears.
Passersby stopped, walked up to the girl, pulled her behind them and angrily accused Gu Hui. The boy stood coldly in the crowd with an expressionless face. Suddenly, his eyes met Xihe's across the crowd.
Xihe walked over and pulled Gu Hui behind him: "What were you guys yelling at just now?"
Gu Hui looked down at the hand he was holding, his thick eyebrows slightly raised.
The girl who cursed the most raised her chin and said, "What? You did it and you can't tell me? It's just a few flowers, how much is that? You have to scare a little girl to tears."
As he said this, he touched the little girl who was sobbing and crying, and the accusation on his face became even more severe.
Xihe sneered: "Yeah, it's just a flower, it doesn't cost much. Since you are so kind, wouldn't it be better for you to buy one from her?"
The girl choked: "You!"
Xihe looked directly at the little girl and said, "Did you hear that, little sister? We sisters are kind enough to buy you fifty-one roses. Why don't you thank me quickly?"
"Heh." He glanced at a few people, pulled Gu Hui and turned away.
Behind her, several girls faced the little girl's eager gaze with stiff expressions.
Away from the crowd, under dim streetlights, two people walked one in front of the other, their ears filled with the sounds of barking dogs and occasional passing cars. As they waited for the traffic light at an intersection, Gu Hui suddenly said, "Who told you I have facial paralysis and can't smile?"
The boy was probably in the voice change period, his voice was rough, and he quickly shut up as soon as he finished speaking.
Xihe was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Because I've never seen you smile before."
Gu Hui put his hands in his pockets and thought to himself that his expression changed very quickly.
The light turned green, and the two crossed the road to the zebra crossing on the other side. Thinking of his injury, Xihe couldn't help but ask, "Is the wound healed? Why don't you stay in the hospital for a few days? And the wound on your face..."
She raised her hand to touch him, but Gu Hui avoided her and looked at her with a frown.
Xihe blinked, put down his hand, turned around and walked towards his own community: "Remember to apply medicine. Although it's okay for boys to have some scars on their faces, scars are always unsightly..."
"Are you the sea? Why do you care so much?"
"Whether I'm beautiful or ugly is none of your business." He suddenly got angry and turned around and walked away.
Xihe: ???
She just said "not pretty" and she got so angry? Her temper is really too explosive.
The next day, Xihe went to school. Halfway through the class, the door was kicked open with a bang.
'Bang!'
The teacher and classmates were so scared that they trembled.
Gu Hui, however, acted as if nothing had happened. He walked across the classroom with an expressionless face, went to his seat, lay down, and began to sleep.
The whole class: “…”
Dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
He remembered something and looked around hurriedly. Huh? Wasn't he dealt with by Mr. Gu?
Gu Hui: “…”
He picked up the book on the table and threw it at the guy: "Look at this!"
Bang--
Xihe, who was hit innocently again: "..." She touched her head, slowly turned her head, and looked at Gu Hui expressionlessly.
Gu Hui: “…”
