"Xin Rui, why don't you answer my dad's call?"
Xin's father was talking to Xin Rui, but his attention was entirely on Gu Yu. He kept looking up and down, making the word "scheming eyebrows and rat eyes" come alive.
Gu Yu glanced sideways at Xin Rui, but still didn't answer Xin's father's question. He lowered his head, his long hair covering her face. He couldn't see clearly the expression on her face for a while, and he didn't know what she was thinking.
"Are you Xin Rui's father?" Gu Yu asked with a calm voice.
"Yes, yes! Are you Xin Rui's classmate? Is your name Gu Yu?" Xin's father nodded quickly, with obvious expectation on his face while asking,
"Well, I'm Gu Yu."
"Great!" Xin's father's face immediately burst into a bright smile, as if he had grasped hope, his eyes were shining,
"My Xin Rui always talks about you, saying that she has the best relationship with you at school and you always take care of her.
Gu Yu, you are Xin Rui's good friend, and my uncle didn't hide it from you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to school to find you, and you are the only one who can help our family and Xin Rui."
Xin's father's expression changed from happy and relieved to a sad look. I have to say that his acting was pretty good. Maybe he didn't find the right career path for him.
"Stop talking! Stop talking! I don't need help. You are responsible for the trouble you caused! Gu Yu has no obligation to help you! Get out of here!"
After hearing what Xin's father said, Xin Rui could no longer suppress his complicated emotions. He raised his head and roared loudly at Xin's father. Tears fell from his eyes at some point.
She, who had always been gentle and quiet, was so embarrassed in front of Gu Yu for the first time.
Xin's father's actions not only made her despair of her original family, but also trampled on her image in front of Gu Yu, shattering Xin Rui's low self-esteem and hope of being able to stand upright by Gu Yu's side in the future.
Hearing that Xin's father could not bear the resistance and rebuke from his daughter, whom he had always regarded as a loser,
His expression was angry, his eyes became fierce, he raised his palms habitually, took a step forward, and was about to slap Xin Rui on the face.
"Back off, keep your distance, I say back off!"
Gu Yu, who had been paying attention to the development of the situation, grabbed Xin's father's outstretched hand, stood in front of Xin Rui, and looked at him with cold eyes.
Although Gu Yu is not yet eighteen, compared to Xin's father, who is almost forty, he is taller in both height and body shape.
Especially the aura of a superior person, which made Xin's father, who was bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, shrink his neck unconsciously, and took a step back in fear, how could he dare to take action?
"Well... well, classmate Gu Yu, don't get me wrong. I just lost my temper and was a little excited. How could I really hit my daughter?"
Xin's father smiled awkwardly and quickly looked for an explanation.
"Don't you play a lot? Growing up, you only knew how to drink and play cards, and you were rarely at home.
As long as you are at home, you will beat me and my mother whenever you lose money or get drunk. What kind of father are you?
Did you lose all the money you exchanged for yesterday? Your bets are getting bigger and bigger now,
You have ruined your whole family, and if you don't think it's enough, you borrow loan sharks at usurious rates. Are you really going to be satisfied if your family is ruined?
Why do you have the nerve to come and borrow money from my friend? Stop your wishful thinking! "
Xin Rui's long-simmering depression burst out today, crying and roaring like a rabbit forced into a corner.
Xin's father gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger. He glanced at Gu Yu with a cold face and did not dare to make a move.
He was very angry. First, his daughter dared to resist him. She was such a white-eyed wolf and an unfilial daughter.
The second point is the most critical. How can he borrow money from Gu Yu when Xin Rui makes such a fuss?
The movement on Gu Yu's side quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding students, who slowly formed a circle.
Opposite the school is the Qingdao Shan Garden Community where Gu Yu lives. The security guards have always paid attention to Gu Yu's safety when he goes to and from school every day.
Basically, he relaxed his guard after watching Gu Yu enter the school gate. At this time, he naturally realized that Gu Yu might be in trouble.
"Young Master Gu, what's the matter?"
Captain Zhou led the team, called two more security guards, and soon came to Gu Yu's side.
The captain of the security team is usually not on duty, but he has arranged a shift for himself. Every time Gu Yu goes to and from school, he is usually at the door,
Occasionally, Gu Yu would say hello to him, smile and nod, which would put him in a good mood for the day.
After Captain Zhou retired from the army, he transferred to the security department of a local state-owned enterprise. Later, when the factory closed down, he had no choice but to find a job as a security guard.
Because of my experience as a soldier, I gradually became a security captain, and my life was getting better.
But he has no future in this life, and he doesn’t want his son to be like him.
In the past, Captain Zhou's son wanted to join the army, but Captain Zhou vetoed it. Times have changed. Now, the only way out for children from families like theirs is to study and get into a good university.
It’s just that Captain Zhou’s son has no talent in reading and is not enlightened.
His family didn't have the means to sign him up for a cram school, so he hired a gold medal teacher and a tutor, but the results were average. In the end, he only got an ordinary second-level education.
As he was about to graduate, Captain Zhou hoped to protect Gu Yu with all his heart, leave a good impression, and build a relationship. He only asked Gu Yu to open his mouth and introduce his son to a good job and a good future.
Xin's father, who dared to be angry but dared not speak out, looked like Captain Zhou, who had a bad face and was not easy to mess with at first glance, followed by two sturdy young men.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Gu...Mr. Gu, my daughter misunderstood my purpose of coming,"
He couldn't beat one on one, let alone one on many. Father Xin quickly put on a flattering smile and tried his best to appear kind and respectful.
"Team Zhou, please take this person with you and come to my house to chat."
Gu Yu saw more and more students gathering together. He was concerned about Xin Rui's self-esteem and wanted to find a quiet place to resolve the matter.
"No trouble, you're welcome, Mr. Gu."
Captain Zhou, who had previously seen Xin's father still intimidating and cold-hearted, showed a friendly smile on his face when he treated Gu Yu, and winked at his subordinates.
Two young and middle-aged security guards, one on the left and one on the right, held Xin’s father.
"Young Master Gu, don't bother these two brothers. I can leave by myself." Xin's father nodded and bowed with a smile, without any backbone.
Seeing this scene, Xin Rui felt even more sad. How embarrassing could his father be?
Looking at Gu Yu who was protecting him, I felt warm and supportive in my heart, but at the same time I felt deeply that I was not worthy of him.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, what happened? Are you okay?"
Pan Yuansheng, who came after hearing the news, separated from the surrounding students and asked Gu Yu about the situation with concern.
The movement here just now was not only seen by the security guards of Qingdao Mountain Garden Community,
The janitor of Zhenhua Middle School and the student teacher who checked the post in the morning also noticed Gu Yu at the center of the incident and quickly informed Director Pan.
"Uncle Pan, some personal matters can be resolved quickly. Don't worry. I'm asking you for half a day's leave. And Xin Rui, please tell Teacher Wu for us." Gu Yu replied with a smile,
