After a long while, Gu Qingcheng only managed to say, "It'll do so long as you like him!"
"Then, Uncle Qingcheng, do you mean to say, you don't have to vet the boy on my father's behalf anymore?" Yun Liuli gazed at Gu Qingcheng with her pretty eyes.
Uncle Qingcheng again.
In the past, Gu Qingcheng had asked Yun Liuli to address him as Uncle Qingcheng, but Yun Liuli stubbornly insisted on calling him by his name. Now, although Yun Liuli had heeded Gu Qingcheng's words, Gu Qingcheng didn't feel happy about it.
He felt choked and couldn't say anything, so he only frowned and nodded. "Okay…"
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng wasn't feeling too good about this, Yun Liuli didn't deliberately say much else to agitate Gu Qingcheng. She obediently sat in her seat and replied to Guan Nina's message.
Guan Nina said she uploaded the photo of her and Lin Nuan on social media. A sharp-eyed person caught Yun Liuli in that photo, and someone also saw Zhou Yuchen's hand. She seemed to have caused Yun Liuli trouble.
Yun Liuli was speechless.
After she tapped on the photo, Yun Liuli frowned. Fine, it could be said that it was her in the photo. But how did they manage to tell that hand belonged to Zhou Yuchen?
Guan Nina basically meant that Zhong Qingfei's friend Xiao Yuan saw the photo too, and he knew that the three of them were together that afternoon. So, he declared to people in school that whoever associated with Zhou Yuchen was opposing him, Xiao Yuan, and they ought to bear the consequences.
Guan Nina could tell that these words were meant for Yun Liuli. She was very apologetic about this. Initially… thanks to Yun Liuli, she got to see her idol and got her autograph and photo, and Guan Nina was grateful enough for that.
Who knew, when she uploaded the photo on social media, she brought Yun Liuli trouble.
Xiao Yuan was the only son of the Xiao family! The Xiao family spoiled him to the skies… Because the new library at school was donated by his family, even the dean had to give him some leeway.
All these years, more than a few people had suffered at the hands of Xiao Yuan. All of those people had offended either Xiao Yuan or his close buddies. Basically, in the end, those people all transferred to another school…
Guan Nina had no idea about Yun Liuli's background, so she genuinely felt worried about Yun Liuli. She was so frantic that she even forgot to delete that post from social media.
As she was texting Yun Liuli, she suddenly thought to delete it, but alas, it was already too late.
Yun Liuli didn't really care about what Xiao Yuan said, for she had Gu Qingcheng backing her. Because of Gu Qingcheng, Yun Liuli had never feared anything all these years.
It would be fine if Xiao Yuan didn't trifle with her, but if he did, Yun Liuli wouldn't stand on ceremony with him.
Yun Liuli replied to Guan Nina's message, telling her not to worry about this.
Guan Nina grew concerned about Zhou Yuchen. She wondered what Zhou Yuchen would do in school from now on. Since Xiao Yuan had declared this, Zhou Yuchen might have tough days ahead of him.
Yun Liuli misinterpreted Guan Nina's intentions. She thought that Guan Nina was afraid she'd be implicated by Zhou Yuchen, so she replied, saying…
'Yun Liuli: If you're worried about being implicated, you can chase after him again when this matter blows over.'
Guan Nina wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. She was clearly worried about Yun Liuli. After all, Guan Nina was on closer terms with Xiao Yuan and his gang, so she more or less knew what was going on.
Xiao Yuan had deliberately wanted Yun Liuli to see this message. When Zhong Qingfei saw this message, he exploded. He called Xiao Yuan and asked him about the meaning of this. Xiao Yuan replied in a carefree manner, saying that since Yun Liuli wasn't his girlfriend anyway, he should stay out of it.
Just as Yun Liuli and Gu Qingcheng reached the Cloud Top Condominium, when Zhou Yuchen walked out of the slum area in Haicheng and got to the entrance of the area, Xiao Yuan showed up with a group of people and surrounded him.
Zhou Yuchen only made a move after the skies turned completely dark. When he got to the entrance of the area, he vaguely saw a group of people under the spoiled streetlight at the entrance of the area.
He didn't take notice of them, merely continuing to walk with his head lowered. But before he entered the area, those people came up to block his way.
When Zhou Yuchen looked up, he saw that those blocking his way were people who were on close terms with Xiao Yuan, who constantly bullied him!
Xiao Yuan leaned against the wall, biting a cigarette in his mouth, one leg propped against the wall. Seeing that his men had already surrounded Zhou Yuchen, with a cold face, he straightened his body and put out his cigarette with his foot, then walked towards Zhou Yuchen.
"You think that by cutting your fringe and revealing this face of yours, Yun Liuli would fall for you?" Xiao Yuan's voice was full of sarcasm.
Xiao Yuan pried away two of his companions and stood upright before Zhou Yuchen. In a carefree manner, he exhaled a thin puff of smoke. "Since you think this face of yours is pretty, then I'm going to destroy it!"
Xiao Yuan's face was extremely cold when he spoke, and he was looking at Zhou Yuchen as if he was looking at garbage. "Beat him as hard as you can. If he dies, put it on me! Especially that face… I get disgusted when I see it! Just scratch it!"
These few companions had long viewed Xiao Yuan's words as a sacred decree to be obeyed. Without a second word, they carried out his instructions.
Zhou Yuchen, who had extensive experience in being beaten up, tightly hugged his head after he was kicked and fell down, his entire body scrunched up like a shrimp.
Zhou Yuchen, who was punched and kicked, felt so painful that his brain was filled with a sharp "weng" sound. But still, he clenched his teeth and closed his eyes, not uttering a sound.
Xiao Yuan watched on coldly by the side. After beating him up for ten minutes… those people stopped, fearing if they were to continue, he might really die. They turned around and said to Xiao Yuan, "Such a useless bum, beating him up only dirties our legs. Let's go! Let's go sing karaoke!"
Seeing that they were done teaching him a lesson, Xiao Yuan slowly walked to Zhou Yuchen and said, "I've warned you to stay away from Yun Liuli. I'll beat you up so long as you don't heed my words! I'll be done when you're beaten to death! You're an extra bastard anyway!"
All Zhou Yuchen, who was feeling pain all over, could hear in his mind was that statement by Yun Liuli…
"You can't fight against everyone, but you can grab onto one of them and beat them up with all you have. This is how things are for everyone… When you're harsh, they'll cower! Don't be bullied like this again in the future!"
Xiao Yuan glanced at the garbage-like Zhou Yuchen who had footprints all over him and said blandly, "Garbage is garbage. Your mom was foreign garbage, while you're crossbreed garbage. Let's go…"
Zhou Yuchen, who was curled up on the floor, clenched his fists, cracking his knuckles…
Nobody expected to see Zhou Yuchen, who was so badly beaten up he couldn't stand, suddenly grab a brick and shakily stand up, walking to Xiao Yuan and attacking him from the back!
Those people had some limits when they were beating Zhou Yuchen up earlier. But the way Zhou Yuchen was behaving, he was totally trying to claim Xiao Yuan's life. He smashed the brick at Xiao Yuan's head from the back, breaking the brick into two. Xiao Yuan's companions were shocked, subconsciously dodging away.
Xiao Yuan's head blanked out when the brick struck him initially, and he stumbled two steps forward…
