Chapter 191: Let's talk again once we can prove it.
Scarface was still complaining, and his eyes were practically turning into knives. If he could turn around, he would see the look that had just sent a chill down his spine.
When Gu Jinniu returned to the Gu family home, Li Guixiang was sweeping in the yard. When she heard the door open, she paused in her work.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he resumed sweeping. The man who had entered closed the door and tossed his tools behind it.
He walked straight into the yard and dragged Li Guixiang, who was sweeping the yard, into the house.
The door slammed shut with a loud bang, a sound heard by everyone in the Gu family.
Gu Jiao'er sat in her room, unmoved by the sounds coming from next door.
This house is already broken, so it wouldn't hurt if it got any worse.
Gu Xuewen heard it too, but he couldn't stand it. He walked out of the room, still burning with anger, and went to his parents' door.
Before a cup of tea could be brewed, the door opened, and Gu Jinniu came out, looking at Gu Xuewen outside.
"You promised you would help me."
"Aren't I just waiting for the right time?"
"Can't you give me a definite answer about what time is appropriate and what time is inappropriate?"
Gu Xuewen was furious. He glared at the person in front of him, and before he could finish speaking, the person lunged at him.
By the time he realized what was happening, he was already being choked and slammed against the wall.
"No one has ever dared to ask me for a specific time when I do things. Kid, you've got guts, but for me, that kind of guts is just provocation..."
"Do you think if I strangled you right now, those two women inside would go crazy because of you?"
With his neck in someone else's hand, and the other person slowly tightening their grip, Gu Xuewen heard what they were saying and gradually began to feel difficulty breathing.
The feeling of not being able to breathe made Gu Xuewen instinctively start to struggle. He was still young and didn't want to die; he wanted to live.
But his struggles were nothing in the man's hands, just when he thought he was going to die that day.
The man threw him to the ground and stepped on his back: "Let me tell you, if you can't do it, then wait. If you can't wait, then go do it yourself. Don't come here and provoke me."
Gu Xuewen, lying on the ground, coughed incessantly. Coupled with being thrown earlier, his body, being a scholar, simply couldn't take it.
Gu Xuewen lay sprawled on the ground in a disheveled state when a pair of embroidered shoes appeared before him: "Brother, what are you doing?"
"Do you know you've angered him?"
"I was almost strangled to death, don't you care about me at all?"
Gu Xuewen looked up at Gu Jiao'er and saw her cold face and cold eyes.
"Aren't you okay?"
"Gu Jiao'er, if I get strangled to death, do you think you'll have a good outcome?"
"I know, I don't need you to remind me. Instead of reminding me, you should remind yourself."
Gu Jiao'er stood up and looked at the unclosed door. The smell wafting out of the room could be smelled right at the doorway.
She frowned, glanced at it, turned and walked towards her room. When she came out, she had already dressed herself up.
"Brother, I'm not like you, we can't be compared..."
She still has value to him, and that person won't do anything to her. What she needs to do now is find another backer before she loses her value.
Gu Jiao'er, who was wrapped up tightly, appeared at the Gu family's door.
Looking at the big house in front of her, Gu Jiao'er didn't go in; instead, she squatted down in the corner.
When Scarface returned, he saw him immediately; the familiar attire made him recognize the man quickly.
"Hey, you haven't left the house in months, what brings you out today?"
After meeting her last time, Scarface figured out who this woman was.
He heard that she was a girl from the Gu family, and then he remembered that the Gu family and Lin girl didn't get along, so he didn't think much of it.
Do you still stand by what you said?
Scarface was taken aback by the girl's bluntness and replied, "So what if it counts or not?"
"Do you really agree?"
He was just joking, but to his surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gu Jiao'er nod: "Yes, I agree."
"So, does what you said still count? If it doesn't, then pretend I said nothing."
Scarface was speechless for a moment after hearing this. He wanted to say that he was just joking, so the girl wouldn't take it seriously.
But if he really said that, the girl should jump into the river!
Just as he was still hesitating, the courtyard gate opened, and Lin Cai came out: "Do you mean what you said?"
Neither of them expected Lin Cai to overhear their conversation, especially Gu Jiao'er, who turned to leave as soon as she saw Lin Cai emerge.
Lin Cai ignored her and looked at Scarface: "What good thing have you been up to here?"
"Oh dear, Lin girl, you've really wronged me. I've been behaving very well and honestly here with you these past few months."
"How could I possibly do anything else? Besides, even if I did something else, I wouldn't do it with the Gu family!"
Scarface didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only say half the truth. After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Cai.
Lin Cai heard what he said and glanced at Gu Jiao'er who was leaving.
"What you want to do is none of my business, and I can't control it. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone in this family, I won't interfere with anything else."
After she finished speaking, she went inside. She had come out to check because she heard some noise outside.
Unexpectedly, they saw the two people, and Scarface at the door was stunned for a while before he reacted.
……
Gu Zhan wanted to know who the people on the mountain were, and he did so through Cui Dazhu. Without their cover, some things could not be investigated quietly.
Gu Nan accepted the task and told Cui Dazhu, half-jokingly, what they wanted to do.
After listening, Cui Dazhu indeed raised a question: "Just because you say you're a good person, does that mean I have to believe you?"
"You said you were helping me, so what were you doing lying up there? Were you spying on me?"
"I wasn't spying on you, I was just observing you, that's what I..."
"Stop, don't tell me that. I don't understand. All I know is that when I found you, you were on my roof beam."
"And you heard what I said, so... please be able to prove it before you come back to talk to me..."
Gu Nan was at a loss; no matter what Cui Dazhu said, he wouldn't believe him, so he had no choice but to go to Gu Zhan.
When Cui Dazhu saw that the person who came was Gu Zhan, he almost threw him out.
"Is his master you?"
