Chapter 310: Chapter 311: Gu Qing’er Was Infuriated to Tears
After leaving Dao Jiu’s house, Su Changfeng’s phone rang before he could get into the car. It was Gu Qing’er, who looked genuinely impressed.
Gu Qing’er, who had her call cut off by Su Changfeng, felt increasingly stifled the more she thought about it. It was the first time someone hung up on her before she finished speaking.
“Su Changfeng, if you hang up on me for no reason, I’ll fight you to the end!” Gu Qing’er threatened.
“Oh~!” And then Su Changfeng hung up again.
On the other end, Gu Qing’er stood there holding her phone, dumbfounded. In less than 10 seconds, this eldest daughter of the Gu Family was furious, her face red. When she tried to call again, the line was always busy.
“Who made our dear Qing’er so upset? Do you need Grandpa to avenge you?” Gu Changsheng smiled as he walked over to Tian Liu’er and asked.
“Grandpa, quickly give me your phone,” Gu Qing’er reached out her hand.
“What do you need Grandpa’s old phone for? It’s not a smartphone, are you going to use it to crack nuts?” Gu Changsheng asked, puzzled.
“Never mind that, just give it to me,” Gu Qing’er insisted.
Gu Changsheng handed his phone to Gu Qing’er.
Gu Qing’er skillfully dialed Su Changfeng’s number, a sequence she had memorized long ago.
It actually got through!
Once Gu Qing’er hung up, she tried calling with her own phone again, but the line was still busy.
“Ah!” Gu Qing’er screamed and shouted, “He actually blocked my number? How dare this jerk treat me ?”
Gu Changsheng was baffled. Could it really be something serious? He quickly asked, “Who has the nerve to block you?”
“Grandpa, you must avenge me,” Gu Qing’er demanded.
Gu Changsheng patted his chest and said, “No problem, Grandpa will make it right for you. Who is this person?”
Upon hearing the name, Gu Changsheng deflated like a punctured balloon, looking awkwardly at Gu Qing’er.
“Grandpa, don’t tell me you’re going back on your word?” Gu Qing’er retorted.
“Qing’er, that guy Su Changfeng is my master. If I were to retaliate, wouldn’t that be insubordination?” Gu Changsheng explained.
He had now willingly become one of Su Changfeng’s many apprentices. Even without that relationship, he didn’t dare confront Su Changfeng, because knowing his true background, the Gu Family was nothing in his eyes.
“Grandpa,” Gu Qing’er burst into tears.
Gu Changsheng felt helpless, too. Su Changfeng was the first to make Gu Qing’er cry out of anger, but in this matter, he was also powerless.
Moreover, he knew clearly that Gu Qing’er was just throwing a tantrum with Su Changfeng. Given her feelings for him, it’s impossible she’d be truly angry over this.
“Alright, alright, be good, Qing’er. You weren’t truly mad at Su Changfeng in the first place, so why get upset with him?” Gu Changsheng said.
Gu Qing’er wiped her tears and stubbornly said, “How do you know I wasn’t truly mad at Su Changfeng? I really despise him right now.”
Gu Changsheng chuckled and asked, “Really? If Su Changfeng showed up now, would you hit him? Or would you scold him?”
“I would beat that guy to death!” Gu Qing’er intentionally pretended to be ferocious.
“Who just said they were going to beat me to death?”
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind her, and Gu Qing’er froze on the spot as if she had been immobilized.
Gu Qing’er turned around, looked terrified, and ran back to her room, screaming.
She couldn’t let Su Changfeng see her in her current state.
“Master, you finally came,” Gu Changsheng smiled as he approached Su Changfeng.
“You really are a haughty apprentice, making me come personally,” Su Changfeng said.
Gu Changsheng quickly explained, “This time there’s something particularly important, a Go tournament waiting for you. Huangfu Heibai personally named you as a participant, and Liu Chen has already signed you up.”
Su Changfeng frowned. He couldn’t leave Hai City now because he never knew when people from Purgatory might show up. He couldn’t delay this matter for some Go tournament.
“I’m not going,” Su Changfeng stated flatly.
Gu Changsheng’s expression didn’t change, as if he anticipated Su Changfeng’s answer. He said, “If you don’t go this time, you’ll probably lose face, Master. This time, Huangfu Heibai has staked his reputation and is spreading the word about your match with Sima Chenguang. Being a coward isn’t your usual style.”
“Then let it be,” Su Changfeng replied.
Gu Changsheng was initially confident that Su Changfeng would go, but after hearing these words, he couldn’t stay calm and said, “Master, you can’t be . You’re representing Hai City. Now, many people are secretly watching you, and I heard rumors that people in the Go community are already planning to trouble you, belittling you.”
“So what? I said I’m not going, and that’s final,” Su Changfeng said firmly.
Gu Changsheng’s face changed instantly. Su Changfeng was unusually firm, which was completely different from what he expected. If he didn’t participate, the name Su Changfeng would become a joke in the Go community.
“Master, think about it carefully before making a decision,” Gu Changsheng advised.
“Can’t you see my stance yet? I’m not participating in this tournament,” Su Changfeng said coldly.
Gu Changsheng felt awkward. He had hoped to see Su Changfeng perform spectacularly in the tournament, but not participating was no joke.
“Have you really decided not to go? Master, don’t you care that people are belittling you and making Su Changfeng a laughingstock in the entire Go community?” Gu Changsheng asked.
“A laughingstock? I should still be Hai City’s laughingstock, right? Do you think I’d care about that?” Su Changfeng said indifferently.
The words left Gu Changsheng stunned. Indeed, in the eyes of the people of Hai City, he was famous for being a coward, looked down upon, yet he never seemed to care, nor did he intend to clear up any misunderstandings.
After all, being a laughingstock in the Go community was just a trivial matter to Su Changfeng!
“Anything else?” Su Changfeng asked.
“No, that’s it.” Gu Changsheng replied with a bitter smile. If Liu Chen found out about this, the old man would probably despair. If Su Changfeng didn’t participate, the Hai City Go Association would surely face a lot of criticism, and as the association president, his dignity would likely be tarnished.
When Gu Qing’er returned, looking as beautiful as ever after reapplying her makeup, Su Changfeng had already left. The Gu Family’s eldest daughter started crying again.
Seeing this, Gu Changsheng could only sigh.
