Chapter 706: Chapter 300: Gu: I Really Want to Beat You Up_2

Gu felt embarrassed, pursed his lips, and shyly lowered his head.

After some commotion, class was finally able to proceed properly. The teacher was truly honest and indeed finished ten minutes early. Then he leaned against the door, smiling and indicating for them to continue chatting.

For Gu, shyness was just a momentary thing. She picked up right where they left off, "Was that lousy idea of yours serious?"

"Ugh, I’m dead!"

Su Huai rolled his eyes dramatically, "Of course not. Another fight and your entire family would resent me. Do you think I don’t know how to measure my actions?"

"Ai... So how are you going to talk to him?"

"Ai?!"

Su Huai looked at her in surprise, "No way, do I feel like you’re somewhat regretful?"

"Haha!" Gu was amused, and her eyes curved into crescents as she quickly waved her hands, "Not at all, not at all. I, of course, hope you can get along peacefully... Oh, let’s talk about serious matters!"

"You don’t worry about it, just take me home tonight."

Su Huai had no clue inwardly, but he maintained a composed exterior, appearing confident.

There should be applause here.

Jiuyue blindly trusted him and happily took him home.

It was just past 3 p.m., and they were returning to the West Mountain Number Courtyard villa.

As soon as the door opened, Gu Tongshu, all smiles, adjusted his expression down two notches to a businesslike fake smile.

"Yo, Su is here? Been doing well lately? You look really good!"

Su Huai returned the warmth, "Uncle Gu, I’m doing well. When did you get back? I feel really guilty for not visiting you sooner..."

"Come in, sit down, let’s chat!"

Gu Tongshu casually wrapped an arm around Su Huai’s shoulder, shielding him from his precious daughter’s view, and his expression immediately darkened.

Gu noticed nothing, watching them get along harmoniously, and with a slightly cheerful voice, said, "Dad, I’m going upstairs to change clothes, you guys chat!"

As soon as she left, the two men returned to their old ways.

Gu Tongshu sat on the edge of the sofa, leaning back into it, with an elbow propped on the armrest and his legs crossed, staring at Su Huai through narrowed eyes.

Su Huai, sitting opposite, smiled back, idly flipping his phone in hand.

The two men looked at each other, neither speaking.

Until Wu, the maid, followed upstairs, and the surroundings finally quieted down, Gu Tongshu grimly started, "What’s the meaning of this, Mr. Su, bringing your employees into my house?"

His challenging angle was rather refreshing and unexpected.

"Mutual, mutual!"

With a raise of his eyebrows, Su Huai’s defiance was palpable.

Hearing this retort, Gu Tongshu’s heart skipped a beat, thinking his arrangements had been discovered.

But Su Huai immediately recanted, "I don’t believe you haven’t meddled in my company either. We’re both as bad as each other; no one can speak ill of the other."

Gu Tongshu was instantly baffled.

Had this kid dug anything up or not?

By his attitude, it seemed not, but his instincts warned him not to underestimate Puppy’s intelligence.

"Hmph!"

Gu Tongshu scoffed disdainfully, radiating pride, "What do you take me, Gu Tongshu, for? Your tiny little company is also worth my effort to plant someone? You really dare flatter yourself!"

Honestly, Gu could very well deserve an Oscar.

If he wasn’t dealing with Su Huai but some naive youngster, he’d easily deceive them.

Unfortunately, Su Huai wasn’t fooled at all.

"You better not have," the youth said fiercely, "otherwise, once I catch them, next time you’ll be visiting them behind bars!"

A good opponent makes a good game, and Su Huai was more intense.

Gu Tongshu’s mind eased, dropping 80% of his worries.

’That’s right! It’s normal for Puppy to suspect a spy, it would be strange if he didn’t. But he surely can’t pinpoint who, nor imagine it’s not just one person...’

Gu Tongshu felt slightly on the upper hand, in better spirits, yet he didn’t show it.

On the contrary, he grew more disdainful, "Only you would treasure that lousy agency like a gem. That’s your vision for you—not to say there isn’t any, but it’s not high."

He aimed to provoke Su Huai, but sadly, Su Huai wasn’t upset.

"Ah yes, yes, you surely disdain it, but Mr. Zuo might disagree... Oh, did he come to beg you for anything?"

Gu Tongshu couldn’t muster a smile anymore.

The corners of his mouth twitched nonstop, cursing in his heart.

How was there no trouble? Zuo Zongcai was nearly driving me insane, right?

He’d open his mouth and demand 50 million, even boldly claiming, "If you don’t pay up half of this money, I’ll tell the brothers that Yueyue is throwing herself at a blond!"

Gu Tongshu’s heart panicked, but he didn’t show weakness and retorted on the spot.

"How can Su Huai be considered a blond? He’s fit to match a princess of the United Arab Emirates, right? You can complain wherever you want, my child is grown up and seeing someone, what’s there for me to be embarrassed about?"

However, Zuo Zongcai struck him dead with one sentence, "Su Huai is outstanding, but he’s hitting on his father-in-law!"

Damn!

That blow hurt too much...

Gu Tongshu, red-faced with anger, roared back, "Damn, are you even human? Threatening a brother over such a small amount of money?"

But Zuo Zongcai even more loudly retorted, "Damn, are you human? Pinning your brother down on the chopping board, collaborating with the cunning Puppy to repeatedly slice with a blunt knife, if I keep paying, I won’t even have underpants left!"

Then... after that, Gu Tongshu just slipped away.

There was no point in talking, absolutely no point, he’d avoid it if he could, and if not, he’d just have to endure.

Anyways, there was no way I was paying, Yueyue and that kid went to see him, what’s that got to do with me?

So, after he returned to the country, he didn’t stay long at the office, took a roundabout and hastily returned to the Imperial Capital, under the guise of celebrating his daughter’s birthday, which also conveniently served as an excuse to dodge debts.

"It’s not, why do you need so much money?"

Gu Tongshu, furious, didn’t mince words, "And you took my daughter to ask Zuo Zongcai for money, is that proper?!"

Su Huai looked innocent, "What’s wrong with pulling in investments? Listen to you, makes it sound like I’m a beggar, I’m not refusing to pay rent..."

"You haven’t paid a damn cent!"

Gu Tongshu, unable to maintain his composure anymore, exploded with anger, "You’re all talk about paying, you haven’t even paid half! You couldn’t be any more crooked if you tried!"

But Su Huai wasn’t flustered at all, maintaining his posture, he leisurely countered, "Look at you, getting all worked up again. Let’s have a real talk, I just screwed Mr. Zuo over for you, tell me, isn’t that satisfying?"

"Uh..."

Gu Tongshu was momentarily speechless, his fierce momentum faltering, struggling to suppress a smile.

Honestly, it felt awesome, incredibly awesome!

People who’ve been badly screwed over always hope others meet the same fate, especially those familiar face friends who dare watch their plight and chuckle from the sidelines.

So, actually, Gu Tongshu was quite happy, reveling in schadenfreude ever since he returned to the Imperial Capital.

But to burst out laughing in front of Su Huai, that was a façade he couldn’t shed.

"You, constantly engaging in shady tricks every day!"

He reprimanded fiercely, watching as Su Huai kept smiling without making a sound, unable to keep up the act any longer.

"Forget it, just don’t make a habit of it, and stop involving Yueyue in your shady dealings!"

Right after he finished, Jiuyue suddenly popped her head out from the second-floor balcony, "What’s going on, Dad?"

Old Gu hurriedly flashed a toothy grin, "Nothing, darling, Su was just telling me how much fun you two had at Disney, I was just praising him!"

"Really?"

Jiuyue looked doubtful. Although she hadn’t heard clearly, she didn’t simply take his word for it.

At that moment, Su Huai decisively threw in a suggestive remark to Old Gu, "I was discussing with Uncle Gu about inviting classmates to your birthday. Uncle Gu seems somewhat annoyed by us..."

What?!

Gu Tongshu was dumbfounded, feeling numb from the backstab.

Not just any troublemaker I’ve seen, but a rampant liar like you, what breed even are you?!

Behind Jiuyue, Su Huai smiled slyly, winking at old Gu.

You chose this, sir.

Accusing me of only engaging in tricks, well, I’ll just show you!

Now, you choose.

Will you invite all the classmates, or admit you find us annoying?

If you don’t make a good choice, I still have other tricks up my sleeve, want to see?

Gu Tongshu, glowering at the cheeky Su Huai, clenched his fists so hard his knuckles whitened, but facing Jiuyue, he had to squeeze out a smile.

His entire face contorted into a strange expression under the conflict of ice and fire...
