Chapter 50: Scold Again
Chapter 50: Curse Again
"How long do you think he can endure this?"
"Young people have lofty ambitions. Judging from what he said last night, even if he knew it was a trap, he would be willing to step into it in no time at most."
"Because of pride."
"Yes, as long as he is still a teenager, he will inevitably be dragged down by the extremely boring temper of pride and make foolish choices."
"But even if he is not proud at all, and is a person who is as thick-skinned as a city wall and doesn't care if his whole family is cursed... so what?"
"Faced with such humiliation, he dared not show any reaction. This alone was enough to destroy all his previous pride and make what he said last night a huge joke."
"Then wouldn't it be a bigger joke than the sky for those adults far away in Wangjing who spent so much effort to promote him?"
In a private room of a restaurant not far from the inn, two middle-aged men listened to the insults outside the window, raised their glasses and drank to each other with a leisurely look, with faint smiles in their eyes, both of them contented.
It is obvious that these two middle-aged men have an inextricable relationship with the current situation.
To be more precise, they are one of the behind-the-scenes driving forces behind today's situation, and because of their official duties, they must be present, always ready to "prevent" the situation from becoming uncontrollable.
“But sometimes pride is a good thing.”
Wei Youbin smiled and said, "I have been using Gu Zhuo as an example recently. I scold my son every day. Seeing how angry he is, I think he will be motivated to work hard for a few days."
The other middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing and praised: "Brother Wei, this idea is really brilliant! It's no wonder that you have been able to stand firm in the Sky Patrol for so many years."
At this point, the two of them became even happier and clinked their glasses once again.
There was nothing going on in the capital, it was quiet and peaceful. They had plenty of good time to spend here, treating the talented young man from Wangjing as a rabbit, waiting for the rabbit to crash into the tree stump and get a bloody head.
……
……
In the inn.
Gu Zhuo listened to the sound coming from the wind and did not remain silent for too long.
Just like what the two middle-aged men in the restaurant said, if he were to face such a situation alone, it would be difficult for him to come up with a perfect way out.
however.
Difficult means hard to do, not impossible.
He listened to the insults outside the window calmly and said to this world: "Do two things for me."
……
……
The rain shrouded the divine capital, as dense as silk threads, weaving a giant visible net between heaven and earth.
Although it is already late spring, the rain is still a bit chilly.
Lin Wanyi withdrew her gaze from seeing off her elders and looked at the moss in the corner of the wall that was gradually getting wet by the rain, silently wondering what this meant.
For some reason, today the Lin family suddenly sent her father's biological brother to persuade her, saying that blindly secluding herself was not the right way and that she should not be so tense. He asked her to go out for a walk and relax, and said that there would be a banquet in the next few days that she could attend.
She had lived alone in Wangjing since she was a child and had long been accustomed to life without relatives. Naturally, she would not easily believe that this was a sudden concern. Combined with the fact that the Lin family had been very secretive about her before and did not dare to say any unnecessary nonsense, she couldn't help but make a guess in her mind.
——This might be her mother’s idea, and the Lin family is just conveying it on her behalf.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanyi's emotions became extremely complicated.
She returned to her room, casually took off her hair tie, let her black hair fall on the bed, hugged her knees, and remained silent.
Is there anything wrong with practicing?
Since you never cared for me before, why do you suddenly feel interested in being a mother to me now?
Well, maybe you were not able to do what you want before because of your situation and didn’t dare to do things like you do now, but... it’s always possible to write a letter, right?
For more than ten years, I haven't received a single letter from home.
What on earth is this now?
There was silence in the room.
The sound of raindrops fell. Lin Wanyi raised her head slightly, staring blankly at the raindrops drifting in the wind, her expression so absent-minded that it made people feel pity.
After a moment, she suddenly sat up, carefully straightened her hair, and went to the bronze mirror to put on some light makeup. Finally, she spent some time choosing a new dark blue dress to put on.
This is of course all preparation for going out.
Lin Wanyi held up an oil-paper umbrella, stepped into the drizzle of spring rain, and walked out.
Not long after, a servant of the Lin family discovered her whereabouts and subconsciously wanted to do something, such as dissuading her.
In response, she didn't even bother to lift the brim of her umbrella and said something in a cold voice.
"Let my uncle know that I'm a little tired from my training. I'm going out to relax and will be back later."
After saying this, Lin Wanyi walked through the panicked and bewildered servants, her footsteps splashing on the bluestone slabs.
The gloomy sky reflected by the few splashes of water fell into her eyes.
The uneasiness in her heart caused by the rain became even stronger.
In the capital, she would never meet another killer from Wuyou Mountain.
Her mother would not be in any danger.
She actually doesn't care much about the Lin family.
Where does this sense of uneasiness come from?
With this thought in mind, Lin Wanyi left home and walked towards an inn.
Because she only has one friend in this world.
……
……
The rain showed no sign of abating, and the teenagers who were gathered outside an inn and swearing at each other were not discouraged at all. After realizing that Gu Zhuo was deliberately silent, they burst into unprecedented enthusiasm, and the words that came out of their mouths became increasingly filthy.
In the inn, the innkeeper looked at the group of young men outside the inn with a worried look on his face, but he could do nothing about it.
As soon as the cursing continued, the guests started to check out, and the inn paid a considerable sum of money as compensation.
But today's matter is really not something he can control.
Just as the shopkeeper was sighing secretly, he suddenly saw a new figure appear at the end of the long street, and he felt even more helpless as he thought that today's matter would never end.
Lin Wanyi was holding an oil-paper umbrella, listening to the increasingly loud and uniform insults in the wind and rain, her face had already become extremely ugly.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but she found that there was no way to calm down.
She took a step forward and shouted at the group of young men who were cursing happily, "Are you idiots born without a mother or a father? You are standing here cursing in broad daylight. Don't you have any shame at all!?"
As soon as the words fell, the place suddenly became quiet.
No one expected that someone would suddenly stand up and shout out such a statement so righteously.
The teenagers who were cursing in the street were very surprised.
The two middle-aged men sitting in the restaurant box were even more surprised, wondering which girl was so stupid that she dared to stand against the entire divine capital?
Before the two of them could figure out what was going on, the young man who was cursing turned around suddenly, stared at Lin Wanyi who was standing at the end of the long street with an umbrella, and replied with a swear word without thinking.
"No mother, no father? Are you talking about yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyi was silent for a moment, then opened her oil-paper umbrella.
The girl's extremely beautiful face was no longer concealed, and even the light in the sky became brighter.
She looked into the man's eyes, looked at all the people standing opposite her, and said expressionlessly: "I'll give you one chance, shut up and get out."
When the young man saw how beautiful she was, he was a little flustered for a moment, but he didn't want his companions to think that he was a coward trying to please her because of her beauty. After hesitating for a moment, he finally cursed loudly.
"Get lost? I said your mother is dead, didn't you hear me clearly?!"
