Chapter 921 - How Hurtful

Gu Shen had drunk too much. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the person in front of him wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a hat. She was covered quite tightly, so he did not recognize her immediately. He frowned and asked impatiently, “How much?”

Upon seeing his attitude, Ling Sheng was so angry that she laughed. Was money the problem? She might as well ask for more. “10 million!”

Gu Shen finally sobered up a little. The voice was a little familiar, and his eyes turned cold. “10 million?! You’re ripping me off!”

Ling Sheng’s lips curled up as she said, “Young Master Gu, you’re drink driving, and you didn’t even turn on the rear lights. What do you think will happen if I expose you?”

“Ling Sheng!” Gu Shen had not heard her voice clearly just now. Now that he heard it clearly, he sobered up halfway too. When he looked over, he saw that it was really that d*mn woman Ling Sheng. His lips curled up into a cold sneer. “Are you threatening me?”

What a coincidence! It was actually her!

“I am threatening you. What’s wrong?” Ling Sheng was arrogant and unyielding. She gave him a scornful look and even covered her nose in disdain. The smell of alcohol was too strong.

“Get this straight. You hit my car.” Gu Shen’s stomach was churning terribly. As soon as he finished speaking, he could not help but retch.

“It’s a foggy day, yet you didn’t turn on the car lights, went in the wrong traffic direction and suddenly took a sharp turn. Do you think you’re being reasonable?” Ling Sheng took another step back, not hiding the disdain in her eyes. She took out her phone and took a few photos nimbly before taking a picture of the window. “Young Master Gu, I’ll look for you again after you’re sober then.”

Gu Shen felt terrible. He wanted to vomit, but could not. When he saw her take photos with her phone, the expression in his eyes twisted. He reached out and clamped onto her arm. “Isn’t it just money? I’ll give it to you. Delete the photos!”

Ling Sheng struggled for a while, her brows furrowed tightly. “I’m warning you to let go!”

Gu Shen’s lips curled up as he smiled at her. The moment he suddenly approached her, the smell of alcohol hit her face. “What can you do if I don’t let go?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a bang. Something had smashed onto the car window. He instinctively let go and retreated.

Ling Sheng had taken a brick out of nowhere and was smiling at him. “If you don’t let go, I’ll smash your glass.”

He was obviously the one responsible, yet he still dared to be so arrogant and use violence on her. Just because a tiger did not demonstrate its power, he truly treated her as a sick cat!

Gu Shen’s eyes darkened as he looked at the woman in front of him. His heart accelerated uncontrollably, and his eyes reddened as he leaned against the steering wheel in discomfort.

Upon seeing this scene, Ling Sheng was dumbfounded. She pointed at him warningly. “Gu Shen, are you trying to scam me? I didn’t touch you. Don’t you think of blaming me.”

For a moment, Gu Shen only felt the blood in his body boil and rush all the way to his head. His vision turned pitch black, and his ears buzzed. Then, he could not hear anything.

“Gu Shen, I’m warning you not to put on a show. I was just joking, I don’t want your 10 million.” Ling Sheng took a step forward warily and reached out to touch him gently.

Gu Shen’s body was like a doll. As soon as she touched him, he collapsed on the car seat and did not move anymore.

Gu Shen!

Who was calling him?

Gu Shen had a dream. In his dream, he had returned to his childhood. There was only a vast expanse of white in front of him, and it was so quiet that it was suffocating.

He kept running and shouting. Anxiety, pain, and despair gradually spread throughout his body.

After running for a long time, he finally saw a blurry figure in front of him. It turned out that he was chasing after the person in front of him. He tried his best to chase after the figure, but he just could not catch up.

Suddenly, the back view of the person in front of him became clear for a split second.

“Ling Sheng!” Gu Shen shouted in alarm. He opened his eyes suddenly and sat up. Soon after, his lips curled up in annoyance and self-mockery.

He did not know if he had gone crazy. Why had he dreamed of that detestable woman, Ling Sheng?!

“Since you’re awake, I’m leaving.” Ling Sheng thought to herself that she had just blackmailed him verbally. Did he have to come after her even in his dreams?

Gu Shen turned his head around and saw the woman’s wholly disdainful eyes glancing at him lazily from the side. The smell of disinfectant on the tip of his nose told him that he was in the hospital.

He only remembered this d*mn woman in front of him smashing his car window with a brick. Then, he could not remember anything anymore.

Ling Sheng did not know what kind of bad luck she had. Not only had she gotten into a car accident early in the morning, but she had also met this unlucky b*stard Gu Shen. Her initial good mood suddenly turned bad. After informing him, she turned around and left.

Gu Shen’s eyes grew slightly serious. Even without thinking, he reached out to pull onto her. Upon seeing the woman’s slight frown, his heart was in a mess for a short while. He swallowed the words ‘thank you’ before looking at her with a mocking smile. “You don’t want the money anymore?”

“Let the insurance company handle this.” Ling Sheng thought to herself, I don’t want to see you, all right? She shook off his hand directly, her eyes full of warning. “Don’t paw at me. Be careful, I’ll break your arm.”

Gu Shen’s heart was full of mixed feelings. He did not know why, but when he saw her and knew that she had not abandoned him, he felt a strange sense of joy and excitement. He let go obediently. “The insurance company won’t pay you as much as I can.”

He knew that the woman in front of him liked money. Later, he had heard from Brother Chen that she had chosen to film that last advertisement because of the money, despite knowing that the male lead was him.

“No need.” Although Ling Sheng loved money, she would not take money that did not belong to her either.

Especially this son of a b*tch Gu Shen. He even acted as though he knew her very well. She got angry just looking at him and did not want to see him for even a second.

Besides, she was still in a hurry to go home. She had said that she would buy breakfast, but an hour would pass soon. If she did not go back soon, she would not make it in time for breakfast. She could only go to the filming site directly.

Actually, she could have just walked away from this mess, but she was not the kind of person who would leave someone to die. She was also particular about carrying things through properly. After she had sent him to the hospital, she had waited for him to wake up before leaving.

When Gu Shen’s agent, Chen Ge, entered, he saw the duo confronting each other. He hurried over. “Ms. Ling, thank you so much for saving my Ah Shen.”

Ling Sheng turned around and gave Gu Shen a disdainful glare. Learn from him. This was the true attitude one should have when dealing with one’s benefactor. She looked at Chen Ge and smiled. “Brother Chen, you’re speaking too seriously. I’m used to acting bravely for a just cause. Even if I meet any Tom, Dick or Harry by the roadside, I won’t stand by and watch.”

Chen Ge could clearly see Gu Shen’s pale, handsome face turn even uglier instantly. The corners of his eyes twitched. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry? How hurtful Ms. Ling’s words were. However, he could only smile apologetically. “Ms. Ling is right.”

Gu Shen frowned, anger surging in the depths of his eyes as he held back a mouthful of blood. So he was only worthy of being compared to Tom, Dick, and Harry in her heart?

Ling Sheng had just finished the small talk and given Chen Ge her phone number when she heard someone shout worriedly for Ah Shen at the door. The next moment, she rushed in.

It was Luo Xin, whom she had not seen in a long time. She was even surprised for a while. Could the two of them have gotten back together again?
