Free Web NovelChapter 40: Chapter 40: Why Is All the Crap Pinned on Her
Ye Zuiyi’s eyes widened at Gu Zhao. She didn’t seem to expect Gu Zhao to be so audacious.
"Gu Zhao! Can you stop causing trouble all the time?!" Ye Zexi’s face was grim. He then glared at Gu Xulin, who was blocking him, and felt another surge of rage.
"If you keep spoiling her like this, she’ll be the death of you all sooner or later!"
Gu Xulin’s already dark expression turned completely frigid. "How Gu Zhao acts is our business. You’re an outsider, so you should just worry about yourself."
"Given the Ye Family’s judgment, it’s only a matter of time before you go bankrupt."
"You!" Ye Zexi shot Gu Xulin a furious glare.
"What about me?! You got a problem? Let’s fight!"
"Barbarian!" Ye Zexi seethed in frustration.
Gu Xulin sneered, "Moron."
Zhong Siqi and Song Zhe also stepped up to stand beside Gu Xulin. In terms of sheer presence, they had already won.
Ye Zexi clenched his fists tightly. One against three, he was at a clear disadvantage.
Meanwhile, Gu Zhao looked at Yu Zimo, whose face was filled with resentment but who dared not speak. She was satisfied.
"It’s not fashionable to eat shit anymore, you know! You might be ugly, but don’t give up on yourself and start spewing crap from your mouth. It stinks."
Yu Zimo’s glare intensified.
Gu Zhao smacked him on the head. "Trying to make your eyes look bigger, are we? Glare again! I’ll gouge them out and throw them away!"
Yu Zimo clenched his fists tightly, but under Gu Zhao’s tyrannical pressure, he lowered his gaze.
SMACK! Gu Zhao hit him again. "Have you no manners?! Look at me when I’m talking to you!"
Yu Zimo glared at her viciously.
SMACK! Another slap from Gu Zhao. "I just told you, and you already forgot! I’ll really gouge them out and throw them away!"
Yu Zimo couldn’t take it anymore. He gave Gu Zhao a hard shove.
And then he realized...
She hadn’t moved an inch!
Gu Zhao said, "Men and women must not touch in public! Pay up! My innocence is priceless. I’ll give you a discount—ten million."
She gave Yu Zimo, who was about her height, a single shove, and he landed right on his butt on the ground.
His face was a mask of disbelief. He’d actually been pushed over by a girl!
And he couldn’t even budge her?!
Seeing this, Ye Zuiyi’s eyes filled with disdain.
’Useless! He can’t even push over a girl who’s smaller than him!’
But since they were live, she suppressed the disdain in her eyes and replaced it with a look of concern.
She ran to Yu Zimo’s side, looking at him with concern. "Zimo, are you alright?"
She carefully helped him up. When her eyes met Gu Zhao’s mocking smirk, her heart tightened.
’What is this psycho planning now...’
Ye Zuiyi felt an urge to back away, but she wasn’t ready to give up on Yu Zimo, her promising future simp...
"Gu Zhao... Zimo just said a few words, you shouldn’t have hurt him like this... If you just need to vent, then... then you can hit me instead... Zimo just got to the show, please don’t bully him." Ye Zuiyi chose to stick with her plan to save her simp. Her face was anxious, her eyes were slightly red, and her voice held a pleading tone, laced with a hint of subtle grievance.
"If you’re angry, take it out on me!" She stood in front of Yu Zimo and closed her eyes.
Yu Zimo froze for a moment, then a warm feeling spread through his chest.
He looked at the slender girl before him. Her body was trembling slightly, her face pale yet defiant.
’She’s clearly scared to death, yet she’s still standing firmly in front of me.’
"Don’t you touch her!" Yu Zimo stepped forward, pulling Ye Zuiyi behind him. He glared at Gu Zhao. "Gu Zhao, I’m the one who cursed you out. Don’t drag other people into this."
Gu Zhao: ’??? So we’re putting on a play now, are we? Am I supposed to be some kind of cheap villainess?’
"Gu Zhao! If you dare touch Yibao, I swear I won’t let you off!" Ye Zexi also roared at Gu Zhao.
Gu Xulin immediately kicked him. "I’m not letting *you* off, right now!"
Gu Zhao wasted no time, slapping both Yu Zimo and Ye Zuiyi across the face! "So you’re putting on a show, are you!"
"Apologize to me! And pay me ten million for emotional damages!" Gu Zhao stared at the pair.
Ye Zuiyi clutched her face, tears streaming down. Though furious, she still bowed her head and apologized, her voice hoarse and full of grievance. "Gu Zhao, I’m sorry. Please don’t hit Zimo anymore."
Yu Zimo refused. "N—"
Before he could finish, a pair of hands clamped over his mouth. Yu Xiaowei was mentally cursing his entire family tree. ’What a complete moron!’
"My little brother has been spoiled by our family since he was a child. I’m so sorry. I apologize on his behalf. We’ll transfer the money to your account after the show ends." Yu Xiaowei’s attitude was impeccable.
Gu Zhao made a face at Yu Zimo before accepting their apology.
But as for whether she truly forgave them, who could say?
Yu Zimo’s resentment toward Gu Zhao now shifted to Yu Xiaowei. He violently pulled her hand away. "What right do you have to make decisions for me?!"
"Who the hell do you think you are?!"
Yu Xiaowei: "I’m your sister!"
"I only have one sister!" Yu Zimo’s face was cold. "Besides, you didn’t even help me! What kind of sister are you?! Gu Zhao put shit on my bed, and you did nothing!"
Yu Xiaowei fought the urge to roll her eyes. "First of all, you have no proof. Second, you’re the one who started this."
Yu Zimo couldn’t care less. He hated all of them now. Only when he looked at Ye Zuiyi did his eyes soften.
Gu Zhao froze when she heard that. ’I didn’t put shit anywhere!’
’Why is everyone trying to pin this crap on me?!’
Hearing Yu Zimo’s words, Zhong Mingrui and the others guiltily looked away, staring at the sky or the ground.
’Uh oh... Big King is getting blamed for the shit...’
’Looks like we might have screwed up a bit.’
Zhong Mingrui furtively glanced at Gu Zhao to see her reaction.
Gu Zhao was puzzled for a moment but didn’t say anything. ’Maybe the little animals couldn’t stand him and decided to help out,’ she mused.
Having caused enough trouble, Gu Zhao and her friends prepared to leave.
But Yu Xiaowei invited them to do the mission together.
Yu Xiaowei looked at Gu Zhao, her tone gentle. "We just got here and aren’t really familiar with how the show works. Could we do the mission together?"
Yu Zimo was the first to explode. "No way! Who would want to be with these... Anyway, I’m not doing it with them!"
He looked at Yu Xiaowei, his voice icy. "If you were trying to piss me off, then congratulations, you’ve succeeded!"
Ye Zuiyi stared at Gu Zhao with suspicion in her eyes. ’This Gu Zhao is different from the one I remember from my past life...’
’I myself transmigrated into a book and was reborn... so maybe someone has transmigrated into Gu Zhao’s body too...’
Ye Zuiyi tugged gently on Ye Zexi’s sleeve, her expression soft. "Brother~ let’s join Gu Zhao and her group. I think we should work together. Our real common enemy should be the director!"
"Please, brother? If I can get along with Gu Zhao, then you guys won’t have to be in such a difficult position."
Ye Zexi was touched. ’So Yibao still feels guilty that we’ve been giving Gu Zhao the cold shoulder ever since she came back.’
"Fine." Though he highly doubted Gu Zhao would ever get along with them peacefully.
Yu Zimo’s resistance vanished the moment he heard Ye Zuiyi agree.
’Ye Zuiyi is so pure and kind, she’ll easily be bullied by that bitch Gu Zhao! And Zexi doesn’t seem very reliable either, letting Gu Zhao hit her like that.’
’I’m the only reliable one here! I have to go protect her!’
He conveniently forgot that he, too, had been beaten into submission by Gu Zhao.
"For Ye Zuiyi’s sake, I’ll agree," Yu Zimo said, looking at Yu Xiaowei. "But I have one condition."
