“Who caused the injuries on your face?” Gu Qinxiang asked in a low voice.
“Gu Ning’s friend,” Gu Xiaoxiao said.
Thinking of Chu Peihan, Gu Xiaoxiao was in a rage, but she could do nothing about it.
It was obvious that Gu Ning’s friend had slapped Gu Xiaoxiao for Gu Ning, but why was it Chu Peihan?
Gu Qinxiang asked, “What’s her background?”
It seemed like he planned to fight back for Gu Xiaoxiao.
“I don’t know clearly. Her family seems powerful. She is absent from classes and fights all day, but the principal and teachers don’t dare to expel her,” Gu Xiaoxiao replied. That was the reason that Gu Xiaoxiao was scared of Chu Peihan.
Gu Qinxiang was speechless. If so, he could do nothing. Gu Qinxiang was the kind of person who yielded to power, and took advantage of the weak. Since the principal and teachers’ hands were tied, he himself could only give up.
A girl with a powerful background. Her family name was Chu.
Gu Qinxiang thought awhile, but he failed to think of any powerful family with the family name of Chu in City F. However, he also knew that there were many invisible powerful families in this city. It wasn’t strange that he didn’t know.
Since the principal and teachers didn’t know how to deal with Chu Peihan, she must be an important figure.
Gu Qing Gang could only change the topic, “How did you get to know the Qing Gang?”
“I don’t. It’s my cousin Lin Yuehao. I told him to teach Gu Ning a lesson,” Gu Xiaoxiao replied. She didn’t feel guilty at all when she said that.
“Lin Yuehao? Haven’t I warned you not to keep in touch with him? He’ll harm your life sooner or later!” Speaking of Lin Yuehao, Gu Qinxiang was annoyed.
Lin Yuehao was merely a hoodlum who fooled around all day. If his family hadn’t had many properties, he would have spoiled all the wealth his family had, but it would happen in the near future anyway.
Because of Lin Yuehao, Gu Qingxiang didn’t allow Lin Lijuan to contact the Lin Family often. He didn’t want to be involved in trouble caused by Lin Yuehao.
“Alright, you must stay obedient from now on. If it happens again, I won’t take care of you. I’ll send you to the No. 1 or No. 2 High School in City F later.” The damage had been done, so Gu Qinxiang didn’t want to criticize Gu Xiaoxiao for much longer.
“Fine,” Gu Xiaoxiao answered.
Wang Chengqi went back to his class, and told his students that Gu Xiaoxiao had been expelled.
No one was surprised to hear that, because what Gu Xiaoxiao had done was even worse than an affray. Qin Zheng had mixed emotions. He felt sorry for Gu Xiaoxiao, but he wasn’t very sad.
Probably because he didn’t like Gu Xiaoxiao that much. He was only interested in her background.
Meanwhile, he found himself with a growing affection towards Gu Ning. It would be better for him if Gu Xiaoxiao left.
When Gu Qinxiang brought Gu Xiaoxiao home, Lin Lijuan and the old lady were both shocked by her face. They asked whether it was because of Gu Ning again, but before Gu Xiaoxiao could answer, Lin Lijuan swore at Gu Ning at once so did the old lady.
They believed that only Gu Ning dared to slap Gu Xiaoxiao till now.
“Enough! Close your mouth!” Gu Qinxiang was displeased again to hear them arguing and swearing. He lost his patience, and criticized, “It’s not Gu Ning. Let Xiaoxiao rest first!”
“What? It’s not Gu Ning? Then who did it?” Lin Lijuan was greatly surprised.
Gu Qinxiang told Lin Lijuan and the old lady everything. The two stayed quiet after that. They were truly astonished by Gu Xiaoxiao’s behavior.
After a while, Lin Lijuan said, “Nevertheless, Gu Ning is fine now. Why does Xiaoxiao have to be expelled? She is a senior student, and it’s very inappropriate to transfer right now.”
“Shut your mouth! Xiaoxiao disobeyed the law. If Gu Ning had called the police, Xiaoxiao would have been put in jail. She’s 18 already.” Gu Qinxiang criticized.
If not so, Gu Qinxiang wouldn’t compromise.
Hearing that, Lin Lijuan immediately shut her mouth.
Gu Qinxiang didn’t stay in his home for long. He went back to his company without delay.
It was 10 am already. Lin Lijuan wanted Gu Qingxiang to eat at home before he went back to his company, but Gu Qinxiang rejected.
Gu Qinxiang always left early, and came back late. Lin Lijuan felt aggrieved in her heart. They had to wait for a long time to have a meal together. Even their sexual life had to wait as well.
In the beginning, Lin Lijuan had the doubt that Gu Qinxiang had a mistress, so he wasn’t sexually active with her. She had investigated him several times, but failed to find any clues. She gave up the idea at the end.
When Gu Qinxiang got back to his company, his female secretary immediately brought a cup of tea to his office.
She was 25 years old, named Liu Yuwei. Although she was wearing large glasses, it wasn’t hard to notice her beautiful features. Her tight suit skirt accentuated her charming figure. It was completely the allure of uniform.
“Chairman Gu, here is your tea,” Liu Yuwei handed the tea to Gu Qinxiang with respect, but she looked at Gu Qinxiang in a different way. Their relationship wasn’t simple.
Gu Qinxiang also stared at Liu Yuwei in a special way, especially when his sight fell on her ample bosom, his Adam’s apple moved unconsciously. He was sexually excited all of a sudden.
Apparently, they were having an affair. Exactly, Liu Yuwei was Gu Qinxiang’s mistress. And she wasn’t the first one.
Gu Qinxiang was tired of Lin Lijuan a long time ago. Although she took good care of herself, she was hardly comparable with young girls. However, no matter how tired he was of Lin Lijuan, or how many mistresses he had, he wouldn’t divorce her.
First was because of their children, and the second was because he was too old to have a scandal. Besides, it was exciting to have an affair. He could also change his mistress as he liked.
Liu Yuwei knew Gu Qinxiang wouldn’t divorce and marry her, but that was exactly what she wanted. She was young, and wasn’t willing to marry an old man just for money. Gu Qinxiang was almost 50. He was losing his sexual power. If she married him, she could end up in a boring marriage without satisfactory sex. And if she wanted to have a lover behind his back, he would be irritated when he found out.
Therefore, she only planned to get as much money as possible from Gu Qinxiang while he was interested in her. If she got bored, she could go find another man.
When Gu Qinxiang took the cup of tea from Liu Yuwei, he deliberately touched her hand and said, “Miss Liu, come have a meal with me tonight.”
“Sure,” Liu Yuwei answered. She ogled Gu Qinxiang before turning back and walking away.
