Chapter 528: Embarrassing Face
"Well... well, Xin Rui, are you hungry? Can I make you a bowl of instant noodles? What flavor do you want? Mom will make it for you and add an egg!"
Seeing Father Xin disappear, Mother Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning her head to look at Xin Rui, who was expressionless and indifferent like a stranger, Xin's mother put on a slightly flattering smile and acted cordially.
Although the family had a small shop before, Xin Rui was not allowed to eat anything, not even a bag of instant noodles.
You can't eat noodles that cost only a few cents a pound? And you want to add eggs? What a spendthrift!
Xin Rui recalled the previous scenes and how she had been treated since she was a child.
"No, I'm not hungry." Xin Rui said in a cold voice, and closed the door without any expression.
Mother Xin wanted to say something, but faced the closed door, she opened her mouth but finally said nothing and sighed.
He turned around and came to the door, and with great effort lifted up the wooden door that had been kicked open, and managed to lean against it. From the outside, it looked like there was a door.
The moment the door was closed, Xin Rui's tears began to flow again. She couldn't control them and just tried hard not to cry out loud.
Her heart was really broken. She had imagined that she had parents who loved her.
You don't need to be rich, a simple life can be full of happiness, and a life without lack of material conditions is like an ordinary student in Zhenhua Middle School.
From childhood to adulthood, she lacked the love of her parents, and the care of her relatives and friends.
So when Gu Yu appeared in front of her and in her life, he really was like a beam of light, like the sun.
She doesn't care what color the light is, or whether the sun is really the sun,
She glanced at the phone screen again. She had troubled Gu Yu too much, and her family situation was so complicated. She was worried that Gu Yu would dislike her after knowing it.
She just sat behind the door and spent the whole night, thinking about all sorts of things and feeling powerless and helpless.
Xin Rui waited until the alarm rang, and she didn't know how she packed her schoolbag.
Ignoring her mother who had gotten up early and prepared shredded pork noodles for her, she walked towards the school like a zombie.
Just as she arrived at the school gate, a familiar figure made her collapse.
There were bandaged wounds on his body, dirty clothes and hair that hadn't been washed for days, and obvious dark circles under his eyes, which showed that he had stayed up late.
This man was none other than Xin's father. He used the several thousand dollars he got from the things he looted from Xin Rui last night to go to a casino and lost everything.
Not only that, he borrowed another 20,000 yuan from a loan shark, but still lost.
Brother Long, who heard the news, came with a big, scary smile, and asked his younger brother to pin him to the ground and cut off one of his hands.
This rotten gambler has money but doesn't know how to pay back his debts. He keeps gambling and getting deeper and deeper into trouble. It seems that he has no chance of paying back his capital.
Brother Long originally wanted to scare Father Xin and make him hand over the store and Xin Rui, so that he would not lose out.
Frightened and panicked, Father Xin, with tears and snot, told everything he could to save his hand.
He said he had a way to get money, and his daughter was favored by a rich man.
Brother Long was able to rise from an ordinary gangster not only because of his ruthlessness and fighting ability, but also because he had experienced the crackdown period and knew who he could offend and who he could not afford to offend and who he should kneel down in time.
It is by being able to bend and stretch that Brother Long has achieved his current status in the martial arts world.
After hearing Father Xin mention Gu Yu's name, he asked his subordinates to find out more about him and found out that he was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
He immediately put on a smiling face and half-jokingly and half-threateningly asked Xin's father to raise money.
Brother Long has his own set of underworld experience. If Father Xin can get money, then he will continue to get money from Father Xin, the gambler, and treat him with good food and drink. In the long run, he will definitely not lose out.
If Gu Yu not only gave money but was also willing to show up, Brother Long would definitely kneel down and admit his mistake and apologize. As long as there was a slight possibility, he would also establish this relationship and cling to his thigh.
As for whether he would be arrested or not, as long as he did not offend the big shots, his subordinates would take the blame, and he would be imprisoned for a few days at most.
After you get out, you should apologize if you need to, and run away to avoid the limelight if you need to,
After a while, the big shot forgot about it and came back. Brother Long saw it very clearly.
This is also the reason why his fellow gang members were arrested or hacked, but he was the only one who stood out and became famous.
And if Xin's father didn't get the money, Gu Yu didn't care about his family's life or death, he could still use the store and Xin Rui to make up for his losses.
The frightened Xin's father came directly to the school, wanting to find his daughter and take him to see Gu Yu, preparing to act like a rogue and pretend to be pitiful, so as to sell Xin Rui for a good price.
He has his own plans, petty bourgeois calculations,
There are so many students and teachers in the school, even a rich man like Gu Yu needs to save face, and since he is still a student, it is relatively easy for him to extort money.
So it is not without reason that one gets what one deserves. Brother Long knows how to judge the situation and never offends anyone he shouldn't offend. He never even tries, and that is how he has his status in the underworld.
However, Xin's father, a drunkard, gambler and scoundrel, dared to take such a risk. He was really tactless and deserved to run into even greater trouble.
"Xin Rui, what are you doing standing here? Class is about to start, let's go together."
Xin Rui was standing there in a daze when he heard some heart-touching words.
The familiar voice intoxicated her, and made her feel strangely warm in the deep darkness.
"What's wrong? You didn't sleep well last night. Don't work too hard. Your grades have improved a lot. You should pay attention to gradual progress and a combination of work and rest.
I asked Gao, the teacher who tutored you, and she said that you have good talent and are willing to work hard, so it won't be a problem for you to get into a prestigious university."
Gu Yu looked at Xin Rui, who was dazed and lifeless, and thought that she had not rested well recently because she was preparing for the final exams, so he asked with concern,
Feeling Gu Yu's sincere concern, Xin Rui's eyes gradually brightened up, and gradually Gu Yu's figure filled her eyes.
"I...I suddenly remembered that I forgot to bring my homework. Can you go get it with me?"
Xin Rui reacted and looked at Gu Yu with watery eyes, begging, as if she would cry in the next second. Although her voice was soft, it could not hide her eagerness.
Gu Yu felt that Xin Rui was in a bad mood, but he didn't think much about it.
"Okay, then I'll hail two taxis..."
"Xin Rui! Xin Rui!"
Before Gu Yu finished speaking, he heard a middle-aged man shouting in his ear, his voice full of excitement.
Xin Rui, who also heard the voice, had a different expression on his face, showing a complex look of despair and despair.
Biting her lips hard, she reached out to grab Gu Yu's arm, wanting to pull him away quickly.
But when he saw Father Xin running towards them in a hurry and approaching them, he seemed to resign himself to his fate and let go of their hand. He said nothing, his face ashen.
Gu Yu looked at Xin Rui in confusion, then at the middle-aged man who ran up to them, slovenly, with wounds all over his body and a swollen face.
He had some guesses in his mind, but he remained calm on the surface. He really couldn't take this kind of insignificant person seriously.
