Chapter 381: Chapter 177: Laughing Until Crying

"Mr. Gu, you’re renowned for your exceptional judgment and ability to recognize and employ talent. Take a look, what do you think of my student?"

Zhang Yaowen didn’t fire off at random, he purposefully brought up Su Huai to provoke him.

Zhang Yaowen understood Gu Tongshu’s sensitivities too well—any man who got too close to his wife or daughter was up to no good and deserved to be hanged.

No reason needed, no evidence required, all convictions by gut feeling.

Years ago, when Gu Tongshu’s condition wasn’t as serious, Zhang Yaowen had suffered a setback, and now, guarding his precious daughter, he became even more pathological than when he had guarded his wife. Bringing up little Su was sure to be a hit.

Now I’m throwing this "little puppy" into the mix; how will you deal with it?

Zhang Yaowen’s satisfaction made his eyebrows tremble as he glanced at Gu Tongshu sideways, feeling certain he could infuriate the man to death.

But as it turned out...

Zhang had never imagined that the result would be even better than he expected.

"Pfft!"

Just as he finished speaking, Academician Wang, who was drinking tea, suddenly turned his head and spat it out.

Not only did he spray tea, but he also started coughing loudly, his face turning red.

Zhang Yaowen, you really have some talent!

Letting my son-in-law comment on little Su? Brilliant!

Meanwhile, Gu Jiuyue suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes crinkling into crescents as her shoulders shook, desperately holding back laughter as she nestled into the sofa.

As for Gu Tongshu...

Veins pulsated at Gu Tongshu’s temples as he glared at Zhang Yaowen, with fiery rage in his eyes.

Are you sick?

Huh?!

In his anger, Gu Tongshu turned his head, staring fiercely at Su Huai: "Puppy, did you tell Zhang Yaowen about our fight?

Su Huai’s heart skipped a beat.

Wow, Uncle Zhang, you’re truly worthy of being an old fox in academia, equipped with a Teflon non-stick passive skill?

A casual remark can drag me into this?

But sorry, today I’m just an emotionless wooden stick; carry that pot yourself!

The next moment, Su Huai looked at Zhang Yaowen with a confused and puzzled expression, seeming lost and clueless.

Those wide eyes were cute and stupid, with a hint of panic.

Huh? He didn’t say?

The message Gu Tongshu received was "Su Huai is surprised too," and this surprise seemed very genuine, not acted.

Gu Tongshu let out a big sigh of relief, but his inherent suspicion led him to still choose to probe.

"Zhang Yaowen, what do you mean?"

He stared intently at Zhang Yaowen, his tone laced with the disdain that was most effective at provoking the other man, "What, got yourself a good student and came to show off to me?"

Zhang Yaowen really didn’t know the full story, but today he decided to push it.

"Show off? That’s not it. I just feel the kids get along pretty well. Little Su takes such good care of Yue, he’s wholeheartedly and methodically considerate. He’s too modest to take credit himself, shouldn’t I, as his teacher, ask the parents for him? Hahaha..."

Crazy!

Zhang Yaowen has truly gone mad!

It’s gonna blow up!

Gu Tongshu’s only held on until the second round and he’s already about to blow up!

Immediately, Su Huai lowered his head, gazing motionlessly at the amber-colored tea, silently chanting: "You can’t see me; I’m just a blade of grass..."

And then came the sound of heavy, husky breathing.

Actually, Gu Tongshu is not a man with poor self-control. Being able to hold his own in such dramatic situations, the term ’capable man’ would be an understatement to describe him.

But what sort of genius can withstand being pinned down and repeatedly jabbed in the G-spot with a knife?

"Hehe... hehe!"

Gu Tongshu dryly chuckled, not just once or twice, but for a full three seconds.

In the end, he clenched his teeth and swallowed the blood in his stomach.

"Su Huai, ah... very good... indeed diligent, and particularly brave and decisive... you’ve taught a good student, indeed!!!"

Thrilling!

Zhang Yaowen could hear Mr. Gu’s insincere praise and could feel his hatred and anger, but that was normal, that was what made it thrilling.

Thrilling!

Academician Wang, watching his son-in-law on the verge of bursting, felt equally thrilled and exhilarated, feeling years of frustration starting to dissipate.

You little scamp, finally someone can manage you, right?

In his cheerful mood, he wasn’t content with just watching the excitement and suddenly chimed in importantly, "Little Su is truly good, your mom and I both like him a lot! Tongshu, give it some thought on how to thank him. Don’t make little Zhang stand up for the kid, would be a shame for our family to lose face!"

What?!

Gu Tongshu jerked his head up, his eyes bulging and pupils shrinking to pinpoints, nearly bursting from a backstab by his father-in-law.

I, Gu Tongshu, still with a swollen face, am actually supposed to thank that puppy?!

Then, just at that moment, Gu Jiuyue also lifted her head, naturally adding, "Dad, you’re good friends with the Ferrari president, right? Order a car for Susu, I want him to take me out for a spin."

In ancient times, the three heroes fought against Lü Bu; today, the three lunatics battle against old Gu, a grand scene of devastating critical hits!

Gu Tongshu, fallen!

Already struggling, Gu Tongshu simply couldn’t hold on after the hit from his Little Cotton-padded Jacket and for a moment truly felt a sense of desolation as though his heart had turned to ashes.

Then, just then, that most annoying thing popped out acting the good guy again.

"Hey, no, no!"

Su Huai quickly waved his hands, his expression a mix of awkwardness, anxiety, and a hint of fear—an award-winning performance.

"I just did what needed to be done. It’s not even worth mentioning my thanks verbally, let alone being deserving of luxury cars, watches, or any fancy gifts. I appreciate the thought, but really, there’s no need..."

Gu Tongshu watched his performance with a cold eye, finding no flaws, but knowing something wasn’t right.

The little wolf cub who dared to attack me on recognition, how could he possibly be so timid and meek?

Keep acting; go on with your show!

Damn it, luxury cars, designer watches, fancy goods, you think you’re worthy?!!!

Just as Gu Tongshu sneered, Su Huai suddenly looked at Gu Jiuyue, his expression very serious: "Gugu, if you want to go for a ride, I’ve got some money of my own. It’s not much, but it’s enough for a motorcycle..."
