Zuzi used Wei Yang’s phone to call Bao Gucheng.
The man naturally noticed that her phone watch was not with her.
He checked the location, and the watch was still at Qingcheng Hospital.
Something as personal as a watch, who could the little girl have left it with?
Bao Gucheng didn’t want to guess blindly, so he dialed the number directly.
Then, he heard something he didn’t want to hear: a young man’s unique, bold voice. "Who are you?"
Bao Gucheng’s voice immediately lowered, asking in return, "Who are you? Why do you have her things?"
Gu Jingyan said irritably, "What’s it to you? She’s busy. Stop calling to bother her."
When he woke up from his injury, he learned from Weibo that Zuzi was his younger cousin, but this news didn’t make him happy at all. Hearing a strange man calling her phone watch made him even more displeased.
Although he didn’t know why he was upset, he just felt like picking a fight.
Hmm, perhaps it was out of a protective instinct for his naive little cousin, to prevent her from being deceived by an older man.
Bao Gucheng: "..." Young man, you will regret your attitude today.
His voice was deep and nonchalant as he spoke again, "Please pass on a message to her: before going to sleep tonight, remember to apply some lip balm. After all, kissing too much causes moisture loss, which is bad for the lips."
Gu Jingyan felt like his ears had taken a ten-thousand-point critical hit.
What kind of indecent thing was this bastard saying?
Insinuating that he and Zuzi had kissed? And not just once, but for such a long time that it required lip balm?
"Who on earth are you?!"
Bao Gucheng hung up the phone, a slight smile on his lips.
Young man, you’re still too green.
When it comes to critical hits, I can take on a whole army with ease, let alone you, haha.
Gu Jingyan hung up and looked like he wanted to punch someone.
If not for fear of Zuzi holding him accountable, he really wanted to throw this blue-blooded watch emperor down the stairs into pieces.
He stuffed his hands in his pockets, looking disgruntled as he walked over to Gu Yuzhi’s side. "Uncle, why aren’t we leaving yet?"
He was eager to get discharged. He had already missed one subject in the fourth mock exam, and he didn’t want to miss the upcoming ones. After all, he personally didn’t care about grades, but the East Sea Class really needed him for their ranking.
Gu Yuzhi spoke in a gentle tone, "In a moment. We’ll leave as soon as your aunt’s matter is settled."
Fang Yumei was crying pitifully, reaching out to Gu Qiusha for help.
Xi Yuanshan beat her until she couldn’t get up, and if it got out, she’d never find another affluent match.
"Mrs. Xi, I’m begging you, I was wrong, I regret it. This man cheated me body and money, please take him back..."
Gu Qiusha stood before Xi Yuanshan and Fang Yumei, looking down at the couple fighting on the ground, feeling as if she was in another world.
The deeply rooted hurts she once suffered seemed unexpectedly soothed at this moment—
It turned out that heaven is indeed fair; scoundrels and scoundrelesses fell into a petty fight over a paltry sum, disgracing themselves.
While she could maintain her dignity, standing here without a stain on her clothes.
How wonderful, the power of money.
Faced with Fang Yumei’s plea, she just found it laughable: "The path you chose led to your current fate, who do you blame? No one can save you."
Seducing a married man, isn’t the outcome inevitable?
A man who can betray and abandon his wife can betray anyone; loyalty is out of the question.
