368 I wish you to stop at the level of a scholar
Xu Changfeng realized that Gu Nian was no longer the Gu Nian he had liked before.
He believed Gu Nian’s words. Gu Nian had never been after him but the Xu family’s money. Perhaps Gu Nian had already found a more handsome and wealthy young master than him!
“Ladies Gu, I won’t disturb Gu Nian anymore in the future.” Gu nianshen sat up, feeling a little exhausted. However, I’d like to trouble you to pa.s.s a message to Gu Nian on my behalf. Please don’t regret it in the future. I, Xu Changfeng, will one day be a man that she can only look up to.”
“Bah!” Gu Hui spat on the ground and looked at Xu Changfeng speechlessly.
“Bah!” Gu Xin and Gu si also spat.
Gu Xin,’my sister is the one you’ll never be able to reach. A man like you who uses a knife on a weak woman is a shame to the world. He was still a scholar! Your behavior is really a disgrace to all the scholars in the world! The students are all ashamed of reading the books of the sages with you!”
Xu Changfeng pointed at Gu Xin,’you! At such a young age, your mouth is so vicious. Be careful of your tongue.”
“What are you doing?” Lu Zheng appeared with Gu en. He stood in front of Gu Xin to protect her and slapped Xu Changfeng’s hand away. it wasn’t just the Gu sisters who saw you pointing a knife at them just now. Many people on the sh.o.r.e saw it too. I’ve already sent someone to report it to the authorities!
Xu Changfeng got up from the ground in fear. ”
Lu Zheng slapped his hand away and said,”why are your hands trembling like this?” He probably couldn’t write anymore! You deserve it!”
Gu Xin poked her head out from behind Lu Zheng, ” “Right, he deserves it! I wish you to be stuck as an elementary scholar for the rest of your life!”
“Hmph!” Xu Changfeng wanted to curse, but he thought of Lu Zheng’s words about reporting to the authorities. It was better for him to leave as soon as possible. Although his family had connections with the government, it would be troublesome if the Gu family kept harping on it.
Although he did not hurt Gu Nian and was thrown into the water instead, Xu Changfeng still had some conscience and knew that it was his fault.
He snorted and left.
Xu Changfeng left, but Gu Nian and the man were still in the water. The people around them were still watching.
“Sister, come on up!” Gu Xin turned around and looked at the river, shouting worriedly.
“Little girl, your sister is putting on a big show for us! Don’t shout, don’t shout. We all want to know how long the young master in the water can last.” A middle-aged man said.
“Aiyo, little girl, quickly ask your sister to bring the person over! That little brother has been in the water for a long time, he’s going to die!” On the other side, the woman selling flower worriedly said.
“Gu Nian, come back!” Gu Hui shouted.
“Niannian, quickly come up! The water in the river is cold, what if you get sick?” Fourth uncle Gu shouted.
Indeed, Gu Nian was feeling cold. After some thought, she let go of the man’s head and swam back.
“Pfft!” The man emerged from the water and spat out some water. After taking a few deep breaths, he chased after Gu Nian. miss, wait a moment! Wait for me! I only know how to hold my breath, so I can’t swim very well!”
Gu niancai did not want to talk to him. He could hold his breath for so long, so how could he not swim well?
Did he think she was a three-year-old child?
As soon as they reached the sh.o.r.e, Gu Nian s.h.i.+vered as the night wind blew.
“Huihui, let’s go back first! You’ll get a cold wind if you wear wet clothes!” Yang xiaohuan said.
“Yes, let’s go!” Gu Nian nodded.
“Young lady, wait!” The man who could not swim well reached the sh.o.r.e and grabbed Gu Nian’s arm.
Just as Gu Nian was about to turn around and push him away, the man tripped over a stone on the sh.o.r.e and fell backward. However, he did not forget to grab Gu Nian tightly.
