“Qianshu, give way,” Gu Chun said softly. “I want to beat this ungrateful beast to death today.”
Ye Ling stood at a side as if the matter did not concern him. However, his gaze was fixed onto Gu Chun’s whip. If this whip had fallen onto Shen Qianshu, he would not sit back anymore.
“He definitely has his difficulties,” said Shen Qianshu. She believed Gu Yuanli for no apparent reason. She had been suspicious and furious and had wanted to break all ties with Gu Yuanli. However, what had happened that day in the Gu family’s manor was very vivid in her mind.
She thought that Gu Yuanli definitely had his difficulties.
Gu Chun held the whip as he looked at Shen Qianshu, whose head was raised and gaze determined. However, he felt bitter in his heart. Ye Ling said coldly at the side, “You have thought of the authority as a father, but you also ought to see whose woman you are beating.”
Gu Chun glanced at Ye Ling as if he hated him a lot. Suddenly, he stormed off in a huff.
Shen Qianshu hurriedly held onto to Gu Yuanli. Fifth Brother also hurriedly came over. Gu Xie stood still without moving. His eyes could not hide the ambiguity. It was still Fifth Brother who supported him to one side. “Call the doctor.”
Gu Yuanli was hurt very seriously. His back was covered with wounds, and the flesh and blood was a blur. Second Old Master Gu had been very forceful.
Shen Qianshu’s heart ached as she watched. “Shifu… ”
“I am content.” Gu Yuanli’s voice was very repressed and bitter. His gaze was also very restrained and forbearing as he looked at Shen Qianshu. Ye Ling suddenly walked over and pulled Shen Qianshu up. Gu Yuanli’s gaze at Qianshu was simply not how a brother would look at his sister.
He had originally suspected this truth, but it was confirmed now.
The look towards a sister could be adoring and doting, but it should not be restrained and repressed like that.
Gu Xie was Gu Yuanli’s younger brother, born to the same mother. Compared to Fifth Brother, however, he was like a stranger. Fifth Brother looked after Gu Yuanli meticulously. The doctor came and cut Gu Yuanli’s clothes as he had to bandage and stitch his wounds.
Shen Qianshu watched until her eyes turned red. Ye Ling’s big palms suddenly covered her eyes.
“Master?”
“Don’t look.”
“Master, let go. I want to see.”
“You are not allowed to,” Ye Ling said calmly. “Dirty.”
In his eyes, blood was always dirty.
Shen Qianshu’s heart was palpitating. In his hands, she became quiet. Her eyelashes lightly brushed across Ye Ling’s palms. It was like tugging his heart. Ye Ling lightly went around her. Cold sweat was dripping from Gu Yuanli’s forehead. However, there was no sign of dismal seen at all.
There was even happiness.
Little Shu still believed him.
His growing up phase was extremely difficult. Since young, he had to go through very strict training in order to become Ghost City’s Second Master. In the hands of Ghost City, as he was growing up, he subconsciously drifted further apart from his younger brothers.
Big Brother had said, Ah Li, don’t be so ruthless. When you do things, be magnanimous and show mercy.
Gu Xie had said, Second Brother, did you kill Big Brother?
Gu Beichen had said, Second Brother, you disappoint me so much.
Yes, disappointment.
He had made his younger brothers disappointed.
It was also this that made him place all his feelings on Shen Qianshu.
Whenever he had time, he would think of going to see what Shen Qianshu was doing.
Even if he was sitting in the car and waiting downstairs under her office, he was also happy when he saw her coming out.
He only regretted that he had paid attention to Shen Qianshu too late. As his feelings had also changed in nature and he had shown too much concern, it led to Black Rose’s suspicion. It made Shen Qianshu become embroiled in this dispute. Whether it was him or Ye Ling, they would bring harm to her.
His gaze was far too repressed and restrained. Ye Ling’s face turned cold. He pulled Shen Qianshu and came out from the door.
“Master…”
“I don’t like him,” Ye Ling said.
