Chapter 63 - I'll Break Your Bones In Half
The guards that were stationed at the door that day began to break into a cold sweat.
The senior officer had indeed said that the old minister needed to rest, and no one could disturb him.
However, Miss Gu suddenly appeared and demanded to enter the old minister's ward. She even deliberately woke him up with the commotion. Since he asked her to enter, they had no other choice but to obey.
Nevertheless, the guards could not use these as an explanation. After all, they had failed at their duties.
Fu Beichen muttered under his breath, saying, "From tomorrow onward, both of you don't have to come here anymore."
"Understood."
Gu Dongxue merely wore an ambiguous expression; it was impossible to decrypt what she was thinking.
When Fu Beichen marched over, she immediately rose to her feet and stood before him. Then, she quickly put on a display, pretending to be meek and well-behaved. She spoke in a seductive, saccharine voice that was hard to resist.
"Uncle, I'm Gu Dongxue. Please don't blame them. It's my fault, after all. I insisted on visiting my grandfather. Please don't punish them because of me, I will feel very guilty about it."
Gu Nanyu merely watched the performance silently from the side.
She quietly thought to herself. Gu Dongxue must have entered the wrong field in her last life. She should've been an actor, seeing how she can put on such a fake persona.
Generally, men could not resist giving in to women like this.
I'm afraid that even Fu Beichen can't resist such tactics. Look at how sweet her voice is when addressing him.
"You knew that you would drag other people down, but you did it anyway. Are you telling me that you'll feel guilty over such selfish actions?"
Fu Beichen snarled while glaring at her, causing Gu Nanyu to choke on her water.
When did this man become so ruthless?
Fu Beichen nonchalantly took a glimpse of Gu Nanyu. When he saw her choking on the water, it suddenly gave him a sense of recompense.
Since he also choked this morning, this sort of felt like an equal payback.
Meanwhile, Gu Dongxue was taken aback by surprise. No doubt, she had never expected Fu Beichen to be so dismissive and unwavering. Her face instantly flushed red in anger from an uncourteous response.
After all, she was merely a girl at the tender age of 17 or 18. She was simply no match for Fu Beichen, who had a thick skin and a mature, resilient mind.
After Fu Beichen mocked her, her mouth was agape in shock, unable to utter a word.
Seeing that she could not react, Fu Hongtao swiftly said something to ease the situation.
"Dongxue, your uncle has always been like this. He lives by the book, so don't be hurt by his sharp words. Come, sit next to me. Tell me about the stories when you're young."
Gu Dongxue had a spot to retreat to now. Hence, she pouted and hurriedly returned to Fu Hongtao's side.
Fu Hongtao seemed to be much more energetic and alert today. Thus, Fu Beichen left to talk to the doctor about his health.
After some time, Jiang Yishan entered the room and walked toward Gu Nanyu, respectfully saying, "Master Gu, Senior Officer wishes to talk to you."
Gu Nanyu did not want to stay in the room anyway. After all, it was sickening enough to live under the same roof as Gu Dongxue.
Conversely, she could be at ease when she entered Fu Beichen's room.
It's so strange. Clearly, he's the man that I should avoid and be on guard against this lifetime. Yet, I don't have to pretend and be someone else when I'm in front of him.
Fu Beichen was fervently typing something on the keyboard. When Gu Nanyu approached him and had a look, she noticed that he was typing the symbols and characters that she recalled from the USB.
Seeing that Gu Nanyu was next to him, Fu Beichen handed her a piece of paper.
"After your college entrance examination, contact this number and join a one-month training."
"What for?" Gu Nanyu had no idea what his intentions were.
Fu Beichen merely stared at her broken right arm and chided, "You won't be so lucky that I'll appear to save you every time."
Gu Nanyu was a little flabbergasted when she heard his reply.
Is this training for me to learn self-defense?
Curiously, an odd feeling arose in her heart.
For example, if a man that used to beat you every day suddenly stopped. He even gave you candy.
Then, your heart will simply have sparkles and stars.
Hmm, right. This is it.
Gu Nanyu merely stood there, stupefied, with a weird sensation in her heart. Then, she read the information and contact number on the name card.
"I have to pay for this?" Gu Nanyu saw that the fee was quite exorbitant.
"Yeah."
"If I mention your name, can I get half off?" Gu Nanyu said coyly.
Fu Beichen merely raised his head and glared at her, before snatching the name card from her hand back.
"I'll break your bones in half."
No doubt, Brother Nan was rendered speechless by the ludicrous reply.
