Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Ye Shu’s Microcosm Eruption
Gan Xiaotian stood there stunned, her gaze complex as she looked at Ye Shu and then said faintly, “For a unfilial daughter like me, death is the solution.” After saying this, she hung up the phone abruptly.
Ye Shu stared blankly at Gan Xiaotian’s retreating back as she wiped her tears, his frown deepening significantly.
Unfilial daughter? Was Gan Xiaotian hinting at something?
When Ye Shu was released from prison, it was already seven o’clock at night.
That evening, Ye Shu didn’t return to Shengjing Garden but went straight to stay at Ou Linlin’s place.
Since Ou Linlin had an engagement she couldn’t get out of, the expansive luxury apartment was left empty but for her alone.
Ye Shu lay down on the bed early but found himself unable to sleep, tossing and turning restlessly.
His mind was filled with the sight of Gan Xiaotian’s tearful hesitation.
With a heavy heart, Ye Shu sat up, turned on his computer, and began searching for information about Gan Xiaotian.
The information on Gan Xiaotian was so scant it only covered her alma mater and some acting experiences, with no mention of her family background.
It seemed as though someone had deliberately erased this piece of information.
For celebrities, wanting to hide some disgraceful past, including vanity and even the desire to conceal past poverty, was common.
But Ye Shu felt the absence of Gan Xiaotian’s family information was not that straightforward.
He saw the sorrow in her eyes clearly when she mentioned the words “unfilial daughter.”
Ye Shu dialed Ou Linlin’s number, who had many gossip resources. If Gan Xiaotian had ever uploaded information about her family background, it was sure to be found.
Ou Linlin sounded as if she was drunk on the other end, her voice loud, tinged with a drunken weep, “Who’s there? I’m not seeing anyone today, nobody!”
Ye Shu frowned, “Where are you?”
“Where? Ha, you want to take care of me too? No way! I’m not going to tell you, I’m at, ugh—Lijiang Club Hall No. 1!”
As she spoke, Ou Linlin began to vomit.
Through the phone, Ye Shu could only hear Ou Linlin’s heart-wrenching retching sounds.
Ye Shu got up, grabbed her purse, and headed straight to the Lijiang Club.
There, in the corner of Hall No. 1, he saw Ou Linlin being groped by an older man.
It was clear that Ou Linlin was heavily intoxicated, but she was still desperately trying to push the man’s wandering hands away.
Ye Shu frowned, picked up a beer bottle from the table, and smashed it.
The sudden noise broke the atmosphere of the entire hall.
Everyone fell silent, leaving only the blaring music echoing throughout the lively hall.
“Let go of Ou Linlin!” Ye Shu glared with her beautiful wide eyes and pointed the broken bottle at the old man who was now frozen in shock.
The man was stunned for a good while before he came to his senses, shoved Ou Linlin away, and squared up to Ye Shu, “Oh, we’ve got a feisty one here, just to my taste!” He said, moving towards Ye Shu.
Ye Shu kicked the old man without hesitation.
The old man immediately clutched three inches below his navel, howling and writhing in pain on the floor.
“President Du, are you alright, President Du…”
Taking advantage of the chaos, Ye Shu quickly dragged Ou Linlin out and ran.
They ran out of the Lijiang Club and unceremoniously took a seat by the large fountain outside.
Water from the fountain surged and scattered, drenching them both.
Ye Shu laughed and patted Ou Linlin’s back vigorously.
While vomiting, Ou Linlin lifted her bleary eyes, “Ye Shu, you’ve really become… more and more unique.”
“It’s all thanks to you! Tell me, what’s got you so upset?” Ye Shu took a cigarette from Ou Linlin, lit it, and put it to her lips.
