Gu Jianan bought the fritters, came back, and went to change clothes. As Ye Chen was eating the fritters outside, she said, “Jianan, come and eat?”
Gu Jianan touched the place where he was bruised, his face gloomy.
He would not let these scumbags ruin his life.
Absolutely, absolutely not.
“Attention Host.”
The system spoke out indifferently, “Gu Jianan’s blackening value has increased.”
Normally, the system would only send a summary of the task progress after a task is completed. However, there was a significant deviation in the current value. It couldn’t help but give a reminder, “Gu Jianan’s blackening value has already reached 85%.”
“Holy crap what the heck happened?”
Ye Chen quickly put down her chopsticks and pushed open Gu Jianan’s bedroom door.
Gu Jianan was currently changing. The two were stunned. Ye Chen saw the bruise on Gu Jianan’s stomach with a single glance and instantly knew, “Did that scumbag come find you?!”
“No.”
Gu Jianan resolutely opened his mouth. Ye Chen bit down and almost crushed her teeth as she turned around and went out, “I’m going to find him.”
“System, open a function for me that can increase my martial force.”
“This can be done.”
Hearing the system’s reply, Ye Chen settled down and wanted to go hack Zhang Shan to death wholeheartedly.
Gu Jianan quickly rushed up and grabbed Ye Chen, “No need. He already left.”
“Bastard…” Ye Chen continued to struggle, pushing against him saying, “I’m going to beat him to death. No need to step in Gu Jianan, I’ll go find trouble for him!”
Ye Chen had a lot of strength and was about to break free when Gu Jianan bursted in anger, dragging her into his arms. Hugging her tightly, he said angrily, “You stop this right now!”
The boss getting angry naturally brought about its own aura. Ye Chen immediately conceded and laid in Gu Jianan’s arms obediently.
Only then did Gu Jianan notice that he had pulled the girl into his arms. He quickly let go of her and said, blushing, “I let him leave. It’s really fine.”
Ye Chen stopped talking, and it wasn’t like she really could kill Zhang Shan either.
She turned her head around, thinking about a solution.
She can’t keep letting Zhang Shan haunt Gu Jianan. She had to find someone to force Zhang Shan and Gu Jianan’s mother to emancipate Gu Jianan, find someone to adopt Gu Jianan, and then she can personally take care of him.
That couple was greedy for money but scared of trouble. As long as they could find someone that can hold their ground and scare them, then give them some money afterwards, this case should be a done deal.
But holding their ground…who should she find?
All Ye Chen knew of were those punk-ass friends, a bunch of little thugs. It was obvious that they wouldn’t be able to scare an old thug like Zhang Shan. Ye Chen also couldn’t possibly find her father for help. Her parents didn’t want to give her anything outside of money. Also, it wouldn’t be very good if she placed too much attention on Gu Jianan in front of everyone…
Ye Chen scoured her thoughts before she finally remembered someone —— Zhou Yucheng.
There was no one more suitable than Zhou Yucheng, this kind of bourgeois child that had bodyguards around him at all times, to stand and hold the ground. When the time came, Zhou Yucheng just needed to directly go there and have a seat along with his bodyguards. The Zhang Shan couple would definitely be too afraid to move. Afterwards, they just needed to casually find someone reliable to adopt Gu Jianan and everything would be resolved.
In addition, Zhou Yucheng had actually guessed that she and Gu Jianan were inextricably linked so she did not have to hide anything from him. Thinking about this, Ye Chen decided, and immediately called Zhou Yucheng from the phone book.
The result was…that she was completely unable to get through.
This number was gotten by “Ye Chen” painstakingly after much effort so it was definitely correct. Her being unable to get through was probably because…she had gotten blacklisted.
Thus, Ye Chen directly took Gu Jianan’s phone and casually said, “Borrowing your phone.”
Gu Jianan answered back as she took the phone and dialed Zhou Yucheng’s number.
“Zhou Yucheng.”
“Ye Chen?”
Zhou Yucheng was a little surprised because this was Gu Jianan’s phone. As the captain, Zhou Yucheng had saved his number because Gu Jianan had trained on the team before.
Ye Chen responded back. Sitting cross-legged on the bay window eating raisins, she said carefreely, “Classmate Zhou Yucheng, you are the class leader. You should take responsibility for your classmates, right?”
Hearing this, Zhou Yucheng laughed softly and immediately understood that Ye Chen was asking for something.
He had observed Ye Chen for nearly a whole semester, and long found that the Ye Chen now seemed…very interesting.
So he sat on the chair and twirled his pen as he said, “I’m not responsible for the whole class; I just want to be responsible for you.”
