Chapter 62 Feeling Wronged
Yang Runbai remained silent. He was a smart man and not someone who could be easily manipulated.
Seeing that Yang Runbai didn't answer, Gu Yuan clicked his tongue, somewhat impatiently, "Do you still want me to take you to the birthday party?"
Of course he wanted to go; someone with his charisma would be guaranteed to date a rich second-generation heir.
He was still very confident in himself; what he lacked was an opportunity to climb into this circle.
Now the opportunity is in front of him.
Yang Runbai pursed his lips slightly and looked at Gu Yuanyuan, "Shi Nianzhi will complain. If President Lu says one word, I'm doomed! I don't dare to take that risk."
Gu Yuanyuan sneered, "I was hoping to outsmart you, but I didn't expect you to be so clever. No wonder you're a top student. Fine..."
Gu Yuanyuan tapped the ruler lightly in his palm, then turned towards the villa door.
Then he said, "I'll go in with you. I'll beat him up. I have plenty of ways to keep that idiot from reporting me."
Yang Runbai followed behind Gu Yuanyuan, "That night..."
"I'll take you there, but don't rush, I still need you to do something."
"you say."
Where do you teach Shi Nianzhi?
"Media Room".
Gu Yuanyuan smiled wickedly, "I can't just go in like this. If the servants see me, they'll call my Uncle Lu, and I'll be finished. That's not my goal. This time, I'm going to sneak in without my Uncle Lu's knowledge and teach that country bumpkin a lesson."
What do you want to do?
"I want you to go in first, then send the servants away and let me in. Then you tell me you need to give Shi Nianzhi an exam and close the media room. Leave the rest to me."
"good."
This is not difficult; Yang Runbai can do it.
Since the incident has already occurred, he can simply claim that Gu Yuanyuan forced him to do it.
Shi Nianzhi was unaware of what the two people outside were up to; he had just gotten up and was having breakfast.
Aunt Zhang told him that Yang Runbai had arrived.
Shi Nianzhi lowered her head and took a sip of milk. "I understand."
After having breakfast, he headed towards the media room.
Yang Runbai told Shi Nianzhi to study on his own, and after a while he went out.
Upon meeting Aunt Zhang, Yang Runbai said, "Auntie, I've prepared a test paper for Shi Nianzhi, and I'd like him to take it to check his learning progress. You know, exams require quiet, could you perhaps...?"
Aunt Zhang was unaware of what happened at the restaurant that night. She still quite liked Yang Runbai because she felt that this tutor was genuinely teaching what he taught.
The person is alright.
So Aunt Zhang immediately nodded, "Okay, I'll have them come over to clean this afternoon."
"Okay, thank you for your help. You can go and rest now; the exam should be finished around 11 o'clock."
"good."
Aunt Zhang went to make the arrangements.
After everyone had left the villa, Yang Runbai opened the door, and Gu Yuanyuan slipped in.
Shi Nianzhi was reading intently when the door to the media room was opened again.
He looked up and saw Gu Yuanyuan walking in carrying an iron ruler, followed by Yang Runbai.
Shi Nianzhi was somewhat confused, but he was afraid of Gu Yuanyuan.
He defensively reached into his pocket and grabbed his phone. "Why are you here?"
"Uncle Lu asked me to supervise your classes."
Gu Yuanyuan smiled, appearing completely harmless.
Actually, if he weren't so bad, judging by his appearance alone, he would indeed be the kind of well-behaved student.
"And him?"
"He's away on a business trip. Didn't he tell you?"
"......"
No.
Shi Nianzhi lowered his head slightly. He was still wondering why Lu Jiunian hadn't come to find him, and he had been anxious about it for a long time.
It turns out he was away on a business trip.
Gu Yuanyuan approached Shi Nianzhi, placed his hand on the table, and gently tapped it. "You really didn't tell you? Well, my Uncle Lu is so busy, he can't tell you everything. Someone like you, who doesn't understand anything and can't do anything, it would be pointless to tell you."
“I didn’t ask. If I had asked, he would have told me.”
If he had feelings for you, would you need to ask?
"You don't need to sow discord here."
Gu Yuanyuan laughed, "With such a thin relationship between you and my Uncle Lu, why would I bother to sow discord? See this ruler in my hand?"
Shi Nianzhi stiffened her neck, looking stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat, and said, "I saw it."
Did you know that Uncle Lu had dinner at my house last night?
Shi Nianzhi was displeased, "I don't know!"
Gu Yuanyuan smiled mischievously, "Of course you wouldn't know. A country bumpkin like you is no good for anything. Telling you would be pointless. Would I take a country bumpkin like you out to embarrass yourself?"
Shi Nianzhi understood good and bad words. He looked at Gu Yuanyuan with a cold gaze and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Smack—"
Gu Yuanyuan slapped Shi Nianzhi across the face. "You country bumpkin, who gave you the right to look at me like that? You dare to have a temper in front of me? You're so spoiled!"
Shi Nianzhi covered his face and glared at Gu Yuanyuan.
Gu Yuanyuan raised her hand again, "You dare glare at me?!"
He was about to slap Shi Nianzhi across the face, but Shi Nianzhi grabbed Gu Yuanyuan's wrist. As if he could no longer bear it, he stood up and slapped Gu Yuanyuan hard across the face.
"I can hit people too!"
"You fucking want to die."
Gu Yuanyuan's eyes were filled with malice. He kicked Shi Nianzhi in the stomach, and Shi Nianzhi was kicked backward, knocking over a chair and falling to the ground.
His face contorted in pain. Gu Yuanyuan walked over and kicked Shi Nianzhi a few more times.
Shi Nianzhi was in so much pain from the beating that he pounced on Gu Yuanyuan and pinned her to the ground.
Shi Nianzhi was very angry. He grabbed Gu Yuanyuan's hair and wanted to bang Gu Yuanyuan's head on the ground, but when he saw the gauze on Gu Yuanyuan's head, he stopped.
He is not Gu Yuanyuan; he doesn't have that kind of confidence.
Shi Nianzhi forcefully pulled on Gu Yuanyuan's hair, glaring at him, his breathing unsteady with anger, "Why do you always bully me? I've never offended you!"
"Yang Runbai, are you dead? Hold him down!"
Gu Yuanyuan called out to Yang Runbai.
Yang Runbai was hesitant to step forward.
Then Gu Yuanyuan said again, "I'll take care of things if anything happens, what are you afraid of? Come here! Do you still want to go out tonight?"
Things have come to this point, and it's impossible for Yang Runbai to back down now. If Gu Yuanyuan turns around and bites back, he'll only be in a worse situation.
Rather than offending both sides, it's better to appease one side first.
Yang Runbai walked over, and together with Gu Yuanyuan, they pinned Shi Nianzhi against the wall.
Gu Yuanyuan picked up the ruler on the table. "Yesterday, when my Uncle Lu saw the injury on my head, he felt guilty and thought he had been too kind to you, his stand-in. This morning, he had someone deliver this ruler to me, and then he called me and said I could hit you however I wanted, as long as I didn't kill you. Do you know what that means?"
Shi Nianzhi closed his eyes, he was very angry, "I don't want to know."
Gu Yuanyuan didn't care whether Shi Nianzhi wanted to know or not. He continued, "This is just me taking my anger out on you. I didn't want to make things too difficult for you, after all, you're all alone in the capital, pitiful, with no one to love you and no friends. I thought I'd give Uncle Lu some face, since he was trying to appease me, so I'd just give you a couple of light slaps. But you're so ungrateful! Today I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of Uncle Lu!"
Gu Yuanyuan grabbed Shi Nianzhi's hand and slammed the ruler hard into Shi Nianzhi's palm.
Shi Nianzhi pulled her hand away in pain, but Gu Yuanyuan held it tightly. He hit her again and again, hitting her hard more than ten times before switching to his other hand.
His punches were tricky and painful, but they didn't leave deep marks or injuries.
His face was deathly pale, cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and he clenched his teeth so as not to burst into tears in front of Gu Yuanyuan.
Even Yang Runbai couldn't bear to watch anymore after the beating, saying, "It's not just a hundred hits, stop hitting me."
Gu Yuanyuan slapped Shi Nianzhi hard on the back again before he stopped.
"I've vented my anger today, so I won't hit you anymore. I'll see how I feel tomorrow. If I'm not in a good mood, I'll come back. You little country bumpkin, my Uncle Lu clearly doesn't love you at all, so why are you still shamelessly staying here? If I were you, I would have gone back to where I came from."
Gu Yuanyuan pinched Shi Nianzhi's cheek hard again. "Actually, I know you're just after my Uncle Lu's money, that's why you won't leave. You're shameless! Ha..."
Gu Yuanyuan grabbed Shi Nianzhi's face and shook it, finally slamming Shi Nianzhi's head against the wall.
He left with Yang Runbai.
Shi Nianzhi pressed his head against the cold wall, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
He had no reason not to believe Gu Yuanyuan's words, because Lu Jiunian had always favored Gu Yuanyuan, and Gu Yuanyuan was that person's nephew.
Moreover, he himself is very insecure when it comes to the word "love".
Shi Nianzhi cried even more intensely.
No, he wasn't after Lu Jiunian's money.
He didn't.
He doesn't necessarily want to stay here.
Why does Lu Jiunian not love him and instead let Gu Yuanyuan humiliate him? And why doesn't he let him go back to his hometown?
He's so easy to please; a train ticket would have been enough for him to leave.
Shi Nianzhi, clutching his arm that was still aching from the beating, slowly sat down against the wall.
He cried his heart out, but made no sound.
How could Lu Jiunian disregard Gu Yuanyuan's life or death just to appease him?
"I'm so thirsty! Why is the door open? Xiao Nianzhi! Xiao Nian Nian! I've come to get the free-range chicken."
Seeing that the door was not closed and there were no servants in the house, Jiang Kai quickly went to the living room and poured himself a glass of water.
Then he prepared to go upstairs to find Shi Nianzhi, taking advantage of Lu Jiunian's absence to meet this little cutie.
But then a barely audible sob was heard.
"Um?"
Jiang Kai turned around; he had excellent hearing and followed the sound of crying.
Jiang Kai stood in the media room and saw Shi Nianzhi, whose shoulders were shaking as he cried. Shi Nianzhi hugged his knees, and the half of his arm that was exposed from his long sleeves was covered with marks from being hit.
Jiang Kai strode over, kicking over an overturned chair in the process. "What happened? Who hit you?"
Shi Nianzhi wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and hugged herself even tighter when she heard the sound.
"I'm fine," she whispered.
