The people in the crowd were surprised.
A phone call?
Straight to Mayor He’s phone.
It isn’t the secretary who picked up?
Since when did Mayor He just give out his phone number to anyone?
“I don’t know who he is, but he sure sounds like a powerful dude.”
“Really powerful okay. Our mayor! He has the mayor’s phone number, and the mayor personally picks up his call. How many people of this kind are there in the world? Gosh. What’s his background? I’ve never even met him before. Does anyone know him?”
“Gu Beichen. He’s a really famous car racer.”
“How could that be? A car racer has the Mayor’s private phone number?”
“We don’t know either.”
“He Xiaoai has finally met someone she cannot offend.”
He Xiaoai scoffed. She knew who Gu Beichen was, and she had watched him compete before. She did not even care about him, and she could not resist being boastful. “Gu Beichen, what are you trying to show? Who are you trying to scare with that silly phone call? You have my dad’s phone number, and you dare to hold me? You don’t know your place. I bet you are…”
Gu Beichen sneered and pressed the loudspeaker mode. Mayor He’s respectful yet fearful voice was heard on the other end. “Fourth Master, I am so sorry. My daughter is immature. Please don’t take it to heart. When she returns home, I will discipline her accordingly. An ignorant person is not to be blamed for his crimes. She is blind. May Fourth Master be open-minded and forgive her. Please don’t stoop down to her level. I am so sorry, so sorry…”
Mayor He clearly sounded respectful and fearful.
Everyone around heard his every word. Indeed, it was the voice that often appeared on TV.
He Xiaoai was dumbfounded. “Dad, what are you talking about?”
“Shut up!” Mayor He knew what happened immediately. “Apologize to Fourth Master right away. Otherwise, we will not have you as our daughter in this family!”
Gu Beichen did not wish to embarrass the Mayor by putting him in such a situation, so he hung up the phone and held Tong Hua’s hand. He smiled at He Xiaoai who had a pale face.
The people around were mindblown.
“Gosh, I don’t know what’s going on, but I like it.
“Same +1.”
“Same +2.”
“Where did this impressive Gu Beichen come from? Which amazing family in our nation starts with Gu? Search it up. Even Mayor He is afraid of them. How powerful must their background be?”
“He Xiaoai must be really blind. I knew this guy was powerful. She doesn’t know her place.”
Tong Hua smiled at Gu Beichen. He liked what was happening.
I want to cozy up to you.
Gu Beichen: Come on, come on. Do whatever you want.
He Xiaoai was trembling. In a while, she received a phone call. No one knew who phoned her, but she did not say a single word. People around her were silent like crickets in winter. They really had no idea what was going on, yet they really loved it.
Gu Xie and Lin Xiaojuan went to the middle hall. The two of them went on a date secretly.
When they returned, they noticed such a huge scene. People were surrounding Tong Hua.
Lin Xiaojuan raised her brows. What’s going on?
She walked over with Gu Xie.
“What’s wrong, Fourth Brother?”
“Nothing much. Teaching the blind a lesson.”
The people around them rambled on.
“Gu Xie and Gu Beichen are brothers! Gosh, no wonder no one dares to offend Gu Xie and no one dares to create news or scandals regarding Gu Xie. Gu Xie’s career has always been smooth… So this is actually…”
“I don’t know what’s happening, but I like it.”
“I seem to know something great.”
“Their family background must be really impressive. It’s not something commoners like us will understand.”
He Xiaoai came back with reddened eyes after the phone call. She bowed and apologized to Gu Xie in a sincere manner. “I’m sorry.”
