Chapter 164 Legends of the Martial World
Lu Jiunian's eyes seemed to be burning with anger. He had been anxious and stressed these past two days because he couldn't find Shi Nianzhi, and he hadn't slept well at all last night.
Shi Nianzhi, on the other hand, is acting all ambiguous with the male escort here. Judging from the way he's getting so close, it looks like he's about to take someone to a hotel room any second now.
Lu Jiunian didn't want to lose his temper with Shi Nianzhi, but he simply couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
"release."
Shi Nianzhi looked at him coldly. What kind of behavior was it for these two to drag him like this in public?
When Gu Zijian saw Lu Jiunian, he quickly put away his fierce expression that looked like he wanted to devour Shi Nianzhi.
Adopting a refined and cultured demeanor, he released Shi Nianzhi's arm and asked softly, "A-Nian, why haven't you answered my calls these past two days? Are you still talking about the wedding ring..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Zijian noticed the ring on Shi Nianzhi's ring finger.
He immediately grabbed Shi Nianzhi's wrist and demanded, "How did my ring end up on your hand?"
Shi Nianzhi nonchalantly retorted, "What do you think?"
"You tricked Jiang Kai out of the ring; you really have a vicious heart..."
"Enough! Aren't you tired of pretending?"
Lu Jiunian pulled Shi Nianzhi into his arms, and he pushed Gu Zijian away.
Gu Zijian was pushed back two steps. He looked up and stared at Lu Jiunian in disbelief. "A-Nian, you attacked me."
"Don't call me that, you're not Gu Zijian at all."
Gu Zijian's eyes suddenly changed. "I am Zijian, Anian. Don't be fooled by Shi Nianzhi. He is the imposter."
Lu Jiunian said coldly, "Gu Zichu."
Gu Zijian shuddered violently. The name Lu Jiunian felt like a knife stabbing fatally into his chest.
"I'm not, I'm not Gu Zichu! It's you, you've been deceived by Shi Nianzhi!"
I know in my heart whether it's a lie or not.
Gu Zijian stared at Shi Nianzhi with reddened eyes, pointing at him and saying, "It's you! What did you say to my Anian? You imposter, how dare you try to steal her from me! You're asking for death!"
Gu Zijian's eyes hardened, as if he were about to pounce on Shi Nianzhi and strangle him.
But before he could even touch Shi Nianzhi, he was kicked away by Lu Jiunian.
Gu Zijian clutched his aching stomach, his forehead covered in cold sweat as he looked at Lu Jiunian with seemingly deep affection in his eyes. "A-Nian, how could you do this to me? I am your Zijian. Look at me, I am the real Zijian."
Looking at Lu Jiunian's cold face, a pleading look appeared in Gu Zijian's eyes, and he reached out to grab the man's arm.
Lu Jiunian suddenly grabbed Gu Zijian by the neck, his arm tightening so that the veins bulged.
The man's voice, as if chilled to ice, said, "Madam Gu, you pushed me down the stairs. You've been deceiving me from beginning to end. Now, all I want to do when I see you is kill you."
Gu Zijian seemed unable to believe that these were Lu Jiunian's words to him, and tears welled up in his eyes.
The next second, he was thrown to the ground by Lu Jiunian.
Gu Zijian lay on the ground, his fingers slowly tightening into a fist.
Gu Zijian sneered, "What are you pretending to be so affectionate for? Do you really know who Gu Zijian is between me and Shi Nianzhi? People like you only care about whoever is Gu Zijian, and you turn on them faster than you can flip a book. Don't you think you're ridiculous?"
Lu Jiunian seemed to have no desire to watch Gu Zijian pretend any longer, so he directly presented the evidence: "The real Gu Zijian has a red mole on his lower back, which Gu Yuanyuan admitted to himself."
"So that's how it is."
Gu Zijian got up from the ground, leaned against the wall and sneered. This time, he wasn't looking at Lu Jiunian, but at Shi Nianzhi.
His eyes were filled with coldness. "Lu Jiunian is just a man you love so much. I've never been interested in him. You took him away from me, and it didn't hurt me at all. If you want him, you can have him! I have the entire Gu family in my hands now. You've come back now, and you still dare to dream of competing with me?"
Gu Zijian slowly straightened his back, adopting the posture of a victor. "You lost. You lost three years ago, utterly defeated. This is all owed to me by your Gu family!"
Gu Zijian turned around and walked towards the other end of the corridor.
He muttered to himself, "This is all because your Gu family owes me. I did nothing wrong. You are the ones who wronged me and forced me into this situation. I climbed so hard and endured so much grievances to get to where I am today, just so I can stand in the position of the head of the Gu family and make sure that none of you can pull me down."
He never wanted to go back to those days of kneeling at other people's feet; he would kill anyone who stood in his way.
He wasn't afraid, not at all, not even Lu Jiunian!
Lu Jiunian looked down at Shi Nianzhi beside him and said, "I will make him return everything that he took from you."
"what ever."
Shi Nianzhi didn't seem particularly moved. He placed his hand on Lu Jiunian's wrist, trying to remove the man's grip on his hand.
Lu Jiunian, however, refused to give in.
Shi Nianzhi looked up and said, "I don't like getting hurt."
Lu Jiunian lowered his eyes. Although he wasn't holding Shi Nianzhi's injured hand, if he continued to hold on like this, Shi Nianzhi's injured hand would exert force.
The current Shi Nianzhi is too extreme and too resistant to him.
Finally, Lu Jiunian slowly released Shi Nianzhi.
Sure enough, the next second, Shi Nianzhi left him.
Lu Jiunian watched as Shi Nianzhi walked past him and stood in front of the male escort.
He always spoke coldly to him, but in front of the male escort, he surprisingly showed a smile, "You still haven't answered me, what's your name? How old are you?"
"I...I..."
Ah Jiu is very introverted, and when she's nervous, she can't say a word.
Shi Nianzhi looked at Ajiu, as if he remembered something, and took off his suit jacket and draped it over Ajiu.
Let's rewind to an hour earlier:
When Shi Nianzhi met Ajiu, he was pinned down in the corridor by two rich kids. They ignored Ajiu's tears and the sharp dagger they held to her neck, and only cared about tearing at Ajiu's clothes.
He was muttering curses under his breath:
"Why are you pretending to be high and mighty while working here? Trying to pull that 'selling your art but not your body' act? It's an honor that we've chosen you."
"We've spent money on you, you understand?"
"What are you still doing holding that knife to your head? Do you really want to die?"
"Fine, go ahead and die. With a worthless life like yours, you're no big deal. Nobody will care if you die."
Ah Jiu closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling. Finally, he closed his eyes tightly, as if he had made a fierce decision, and his hand holding the knife was about to tighten.
Shi Nianzhi walked over, grabbed Ajiu's wrist as she tried to commit suicide, and kicked the most arrogant rich kid to the ground.
Ah Jiu saw Shi Nianzhi beat the two rich kids so badly they couldn't get up, then he found some people and had them hoisted into the room.
"You're already so young and already behaving badly. Will you grow up to be a scumbag? Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents."
The two rich kids who were hanging were crying and begging for forgiveness, saying they were drunk and had lost their minds.
"He's barely an adult and already out there causing trouble. There won't be a next time someone so bewitched."
The leader got annoyed and shouted, "Who are you anyway?!"
"Gu Yuanyuan".
The group of delinquents dared not utter a sound. Gu Yuanyuan was a well-known big brother among his peers in the circle. The legends about him were either fighting and taking down people, or on his way to fighting and taking down people.
"You're the Gu Yuanyuan who fought with an eight-meter-long broadsword?"
"You don't recognize me?"
"Not everyone is qualified to befriend you."
"A bloody battle with eight-meter-long swords? When did that happen?"
"One or two years ago, anyway, that's when we first learned about you. You were carrying an eight-meter-long broadsword and took on 108 people single-handedly. I heard that the blood flowed like a river."
Shi Nianzhi: "......."
Everyone knows that people believe what they hear, but how many rumors are actually true?
But when Shi Nianzhi closed the door, he still threatened the two of them, "If you know my name, you'll listen to me."
The two rich kids, their faces bruised and swollen, said in unison, "Don't worry, Brother Yuan, we'll never have any more crooked thoughts or do anything bad again."
One of them even shouted, as if to express his determination, "To show my repentance, I will recite Buddhist scriptures with my mother for a month."
The other immediately retorted, "I'll go to the temple to burn incense and eat vegetarian food for a month!"
"Well, even if you put down your butcher's knife, you're still a human being. You should repent and reform yourself."
"Brother Yuan, can you... put us down now?"
Shi Nianzhi closed the door to the room. "Someone will come to release you later."
Before speaking to Ajiu, he made a phone call to Gu Yuanyuan.
Gu Yuanyuan answered the call but didn't speak, waiting for Shi Nianzhi to speak first.
Whether his phone was in arrears or disconnected depended on how fierce the tone of Shi Nianzhi's first sentence was.
"You single-handedly wielded an eight-meter-long broadsword and fought against 108 heroes, causing rivers of blood to flow?"
"Holy shit?"
Gu Yuanyuan was surprised, "This happened so long ago, and we've already said it was a misunderstanding, how did it spread like this in the public eye?"
"An eight-meter-long broadsword?"
"It's just an art knife; the teacher told us to bring it."
"108 heroes?"
"I bumped into them when the freshmen majoring in auto repair came back from their field trip."
"Rivers of blood?"
"This is definitely a misunderstanding. It's red paint. Isn't that what they're doing? I was walking and playing on my phone and didn't see the guy carrying the paint buckets. The knife fell and the paint leaked out, that's all."
"oh."
"What? What kind of tone is that? This is supposed to be a harmonious campus, okay? And an eight-meter knife? Why not say eighty meters? Anyone with a brain would believe that."
Let's turn back time.
Ah Jiu frantically tried to pull off his suit jacket, afraid of getting Shi Nianzhi's clothes dirty.
"Clothing".
Shi Nianzhi was just two simple words, yet they made Ajiu freeze in place.
"Where do you live? I'll take you home."
Shi Nianzhi and Ajiu spoke in a mild tone.
Unable to bear it any longer, Lu Jiunian walked over and said, "I think we should have a serious talk."
Shi Nianzhi took Ajiu's wrist and said, "Let's go."
Ajiu followed behind Shi Nianzhi, while Lu Jiunian watched as Shi Nianzhi, with his cold expression, walked past him.
He gritted his teeth, "Do you really have to treat me like this? Finding such a shady person to get close to, deliberately trying to annoy me, is that really interesting?"
