Gu Shen wanted to say something more, but Xun Ting had already gotten into the car with the man, and the car door was suddenly closed.
"Young Master Gu, please." Assistant Gu pointed to the taxi next to him, silently praying for him for a second. Poor silly kid, he really doesn't know what's good for him.
Even though Gu Shen disliked the car for being dirty, he had no choice but to get in. The person in front of him wasn't Xun Ting; he wasn't easy to talk to. If he said even a little too much, he might be thrown out!
The vehicle was going in an increasingly strange direction. When he saw the familiar road, he panicked instantly.
"Weren't you supposed to take me to the hotel? This is clearly not the right direction!"
Gu Zhu pretended to be mute.
The vehicle eventually stopped at the Gu family villa.
Gu Shen originally thought that at most he would get a beating and lose face when he came back, but he didn't know what Gu Zhu had said to his father. For the first time in his life, Gu Shen experienced the brutal beating of a gangster.
His dad was ruthless and swift!
"Dad, Dad, Dad, that's enough, stop hitting me! I was wrong!" Gu Shen was initially stubborn, but after being beaten so badly he ran all over the house, feeling utterly hopeless.
He still couldn't understand what Gu Zhu had said to his father that caused him to be beaten!
"Didn't you say yesterday that you'd never admit your mistake even if I beat you to death? Where did your backbone as a man go!" Father Gu gripped the stick tightly in his hand.
It was as if he was afraid that if he loosened his grip even slightly, the beating wouldn't hurt as much. This kind of father made Gu Shen question the meaning of life.
"Dad, explain yourself clearly what I did wrong? You're making such a fuss about beating me? Was yesterday's little incident really worth beating me to death?"
Gu Shen practically grew up being beaten; he's not afraid of anything except being hit.
No amount of stubbornness can withstand the stick in Dad's hand!
In his mind, he wouldn't use a stick for anything that wasn't serious, so what the hell did he do?
"You actually dared to teach Master Huo's woman to deal with Master Huo? You should think twice before you die!" Father Gu was also tired of beating him, so he threw down the stick in his hand and sat on the sofa to drink water.
Gu Shen frowned sharply, suddenly realizing the familiarity of Master Huo. "Holy crap! That man is Master Huo, a powerful figure in the New Territories?"
"Could there be a second Master Huo?"
Gu Shen fell into a strange slump. Was Xun Ting really that awesome? Did he really think he was courting death today?
...
...
The air in the car was heavy; this was the first time she had seen this man drive himself.
"Mr. Huo, have you eaten?"
"I haven't eaten." Huo Lin's gaze remained fixed on the road ahead, never wavering. His unfathomable eyes held a dark depth that was impossible to decipher, and his long, well-defined hands rested on the steering wheel.
His expression remained calm throughout, and it was unclear whether he was angry or not about what had happened today.
Listening to him, I could only try to find topics to discuss and gauge whether the man was still angry from his tone. "Mr. Huo, are you just passing through here today?"
"Um."
Damn, this is awkward!
The profanity he uttered was forced out of him. No wonder the villain never had a girlfriend and was abandoned by everyone. His personality can be described in the original text as: paranoid and pathological!
She leaned back, deciding not to make a fool of herself. Anyway, she figured she and the villain wouldn't be together for long, so she just needed to get through this initial period of infatuation with him.
She has completely ruined the direction of this book, so the second male lead... should be immune to any further harm, right?
I remember that the only thing she felt regret and obsession with when reading the book was the second male lead's experiences and ending.
She remembered that the school wasn't far from the Huo family's house, but this drive had taken at least an hour. She rubbed her eyes, feeling a little sleepy, and asked, "How much longer until we get there?"
