BXBX NOVEL Chapter 27
Chapter 27: Don’t Bully My Mother (1)
Cheng Qi smiled. “Okay.”
Tang Chunxiu stared at Gu Manxi in disbelief. The last bit of her pretence was finally torn. She couldn’t help but scream, “You’re a member of the Zhao family, and the blood of the Zhao family flows in your veins! Can’t you be a little more lenient and let the Zhao and Li Families go?!”
Gu Manxi did not say a word, nor did she have anything to say.
It was said that mother and child were connected by heart, and mothers would always love their children. However, in Tang Chunxiu, Gu Manxi only saw the cold vanity and benefits.
.
This woman was not worthy of being her mother at all!
Cheng Qi raised his hand. “Call the police.”
No one dared to stop him.
...
Gu Chu was brought home by Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan sent a nanny to guard Gu Chu and left in a hurry.
Gu Chu finished her dinner alone and waited for her mother to come back. Gu Chu rested her chin on her hand and walked back to her room. She took out her modified laptop and started typing on the keyboard.
Gu Manxi and Zhao Yan returned late at night. Gu Chu was already sleeping soundly under the soft blanket with the laptop in her arms.
In the next two days, Zhao Yan accompanied Gu Manxi out a few more times to collect evidence.
“This time, the Zhao family allied with the Li family and secretly used some means.” In the afternoon, Zhao Yan and Gu Manxi were drinking tea in the living room downstairs. Zhao Yan rubbed his temples. “Li Youde attempted to commit a crime. He’ll be locked up for a month at most.”
Gu Manxi lowered her head. Her light black hair fell on her shoulders. There was not much emotion on her beautiful face. “It’s okay. I don’t have any power or influence. I can’t defeat them. At least after this incident, I’ve seen the Zhao family’s face clearly.”
Every time she recalled what happened that night, Gu Manxi would feel a lingering fear and her back would turn cold.
She and Chuchu had almost fallen into a wolf’s den.
Fortunately, they had the help of the young master of the Cheng family.
“Chuchu’s feet are almost healed,” Gu Manxi said. “I plan to bring her back to the town. It’s too dangerous here. Chuchu is still young. I don’t want her to get hurt.”
Zhao Yan shook his head. “Manxi, the house that you stayed in that town has already been taken care of by the Zhao family.”
“What? That’s my house. How could they... be so aggressive?” Gu Manxi was stunned. She clenched her fingers secretly. They were going too far!
She really didn’t know that Tang Chunxiu had made a series of arrangements in order to cut off her escape route.
“Manxi, you and Chuchu will stay with me for the time being.” Zhao Yan poured a cup of lemon tea and brought it to Gu Manxi. “I’ll send people to protect you. When the news passes, I’ll think of a way to send you away.”
After spending a few short days together, Zhao Yan gradually discovered Gu Manxi’s kindness and forbearance. This was a woman who seemed weak but was actually stubborn.
She was his sister.
Gu Manxi held the teacup tightly and thanked him gently. She then asked, “Brother, why... why is your relationship with the Zhao family not very good?” This had always been Gu Manxi’s question. Zhao Yan was obviously the eldest son of the Zhao family, but he had always stood on her side.
Zhao Yan took a sip of the hot tea and said, “It’s too dirty. I don’t like it.”
As he grew older, Zhao Yan gradually discovered that his father in his heart, who was magnificent, was a hypocrite who only cared about money; his mother, who was loving in his heart, had secretly raised other men; and his sister, Zhao Manshi, who was well-read and reasonable in his heart, was a schemer who liked to pretend to be pitiful.
Zhao Yan did not like this kind of family. He went to join the army behind his family’s back. He liked the purity of the army, and hated the pompous extravagance of the capital.
The people around him were too dirty.
There were too few clean people.
