Gu Dabao, who had just closed the door and come back, happened to witness this scene. Without a second thought, he grabbed a stick by the door and charged at Jing Wen.
"Let go of my wife!" he yelled furiously.
Jin Zijin and Gu Youyou didn’t stop him, because Jing Wen wasn’t any good either. They had both tricked Dabao terribly; he deserved a good beating.
"Ow, what are you doing? You crude, poor wretch, how could someone like you marry Qianqian?"
The commotion of the beating and yelling finally woke Huang Xiangwen from the other room.
But although she was awake, she was utterly clueless about what was happening.
Looking over at Lei Qianqian, she remained motionless.
Carrying a child, she walked over and asked, "What’s going on here? Who is this man?"
Seeing that enough was enough, Jin Zijin reached out and tapped the back of Lei Qianqian, and she regained her freedom.
"This..." She pointed at the man Gu Dabao was chasing and said, "I don’t know this person at all. He just ran into the courtyard and... he did that to me. But Gu Youyou and the others had done something to me, and I couldn’t move just now."
Wow, even at this point, she was still trying to turn the tables. Gu Youyou really learned something new today.
Lei Qianqian indeed had been unable to move, and Huang Xiangwen had witnessed it. She turned her gaze to Gu Youyou with a fierce look in her eyes.
"What exactly do you want to do? You wanted Dabao’s dad to turn himself in, he did; you wanted the Gu Family’s property, Dabao agreed to handle that for you, what more do you want now?"
Gu Youyou simply said calmly, "Since Dabao calls me ’big sister’ and is so sensible, naturally, I should lend him a hand."
"Help him?" Huang Xiangwen sneered.
Lei Qianqian, standing nearby, grew pale when she heard Gu Youyou’s words.
She was not foolish; she could clearly discern the implication behind Gu Youyou’s words.
"What nonsense are you talking? If you really wanted to help, you should have helped Dabao kick that guy out," Lei Qianqian roared fiercely.
"Indeed!" Gu Youyou said with a light smile.
Meanwhile, Jin Zijin had gotten up to separate the two fighting men.
With one hand on each, he dragged them over and threw them on the ground.
Gu Dabao had the upper hand and only suffered minor injuries; he quickly got up again.
Jing Wen was worse off, with half his handsome face swollen, multiple bruises on his body, and his leg so sore he couldn’t stand, leaving him no choice but to sit on the ground.
Gu Youyou continued, still completely serious, "Seeing how badly he’s hurt, I don’t think he can be beaten any more. Let’s not cause a fatality; better find someone to go to his home and have his family come and take him back."
Lei Qianqian glared at Gu Youyou with resentful eyes, and if Huang Xiangwen couldn’t see what was happening by now, she would really be a fool.
Getting up again, she placed the child back in Lei Qianqian’s arms and walked over to the man who had been beaten black and blue.
"Who are you? What is your relationship with Lei Qianqian?"
Though Jing Wen was in pain, he couldn’t help but laugh triumphantly.
"What? Didn’t Qianqian tell you?"
"Tell us what?" Huang Xiangwen turned to ask Lei Qianqian.
Lei Qianqian’s face was ashen, her whole body drenched in cold sweat, devoid of her earlier brazenness.
"No, nothing. I don’t know him at all," Lei Qianqian said through clenched teeth.
But Jing Wen wouldn’t have it and roared, "Lei Qianqian, I came all this way to find you and even got beaten up for you, and you say you don’t know me? Fine, fine, if you don’t know me, then give me back my son. Go and recognize whoever you want."
Huang Xiangwen and Gu Dabao were both simultaneously shocked.
Gu Youyou looked at them sympathetically, feeling a twinge of guilt towards Gu Dabao.
