"I also know youâre not that stupid to leave," but now that he knew she was safe, he felt much relieved, "As long as youâre safe. In the future, have Su Bai or Su Qing take you wherever you go. Even though Gu Tianyu probably wonât harm you, itâs best to be cautious."
Eleven didnât say much either, the conversation at the dinner table had nothing to do with Gu Liancheng.
"Do you know about Old Master Guâs birthday?"
"I know." He answered.
"It seems like they will all go, will you?"
"Of course, I will."
"Even if youâre not welcome?"
Gu Liancheng said, "Although itâs just a family banquet, if I donât go, rumors will spread. I always attend these kinds of gatherings. They donât want me to go for prideâs sake, but they also want me to appear."
"..." Eleven let out a sigh, "Canât you guys be more straightforward? If you canât stand each other, then simply sever ties and announce it, why make things so complicated?"
"You wouldnât understand."
"Of course, I donât."
She would never get a chance to understand.
After all, her biological mother decided to choose benefits over family affection.
"By the way, what happened today?" Gu Liancheng suddenly asked.
"What happened?"
"Why would Lin Qiang suddenly fire you?"
"Speaking of which..." Eleven thought of the incident in the break room, "Do you know about Xiao Man?"
"What about him?"
"You know Li Sinian, right?"
"Weâve met, but weâre not close. Why, do you know him?"
How could she know Li Sinian? Gu Liancheng was puzzled.
Eleven agreed with him: "How could I? I saw him today, I donât know why he came to Xicheng. And do you know, he and Xiao Man appeared to have rather....close relations?"
"Xiao Man and him?" Gu Liancheng looked puzzled as well, "Is he the one...?"
"What are you muttering about?"
Gu Liancheng didnât say a word, simply stating, "Nothing."
"Li Sinian has these dark connections, you should know this, right? Today someone was causing trouble for Xiao Man, Li Sinian appeared with his men, each of them armed with a gun."
"What? Youâre alright, right?"
Su Bai also looked startled.
"Iâm fine...They werenât here to settle accounts with me. At that time, I didnât think much about it, but I found it terrifying later. Guns donât have eyes, what if I had been hit? Although Xiao Man isnât as awful as people say, I should stay away from her and cherish my life."
Su Bai asked, "Real guns?"
"Real...although I have never held one."
I heard the police came, but Iâm not sure how it was handled in the end.
There doesnât seem to be any news about the illegal possession of guns, so I guess itâs quietly settled. They wouldnât let ordinary people like us know.
...
The Yan Xi Dojo.
Fang Jiujiu listlessly swung his sword forward.
"Ah..." He yawned, feeling bored.
"Ha!" Gu Mengmeng, on the other hand, was full of fighting spirit, a stark contrast to him.
With one swing of her sword, the wooden stake fell down with a bang.
Fang Jiujiu who was half a meter away: "..."
"Wow! I defeated it!" Gu Mengmeng shouted excitedly, "Little bro, let me help you!"
"...No need."
Suddenly, the people around felt that this little girlâs destructive power...was a bit terrifying!
Fang Jiujiu turned to Ye Fei: "Godmother, are you sure letting Gu Mengmeng practice martial arts is a good idea?"
Would she end up demolishing the entire kindergarten when she goes back?
