Chapter 41 (2/2)

The Gu family was extremely powerful. She would definitely have to pay the price and face very serious consequences if she even tried to touch Gu Shishi’s hair.

As an orphan, Gu Anhao could not afford to offend any of them unless she had the courage to face the consequences of taking revenge.

When she was much younger, she always wanted to grow up as soon as possible. Now that she had already grown up, she realized that there was nothing that she could do to avenge her mother and herself.

Now that she had grown up, she had to face the reality of this society, the indifference in the hearts of these people and the patience that she had to have to endure all of these unfairness.

Gu Anhao could feel the cold wind drilling in from the bottom of her dress. She shivered reflexively, and at this time, the door of the cafe was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

“Anhao?”

Anhao froze for a moment before she turned around and stared at the person who had just stepped out of the café. She quickly turned around, wanting to walk away under the freezing rain. “Anhao!” Yi Zeyang quickly stepped forward as he grabbed hold of her wrist and pulled her back under the eaves. “You just recovered after falling sick a few days ago. Do you want to fall sick again?”

“I am not as weak and delicate as you think I am! Let go of me!” Anhao refused to look at him as she struggled to free herself from his grasp. “Let go of me!”

Yi Zeyang continued holding onto Anhao’s wrist as he could clearly feel that she was freezing.

As he lowered his head to look at her, he saw the obvious red mark on the swollen left side of her cheek. Yi Zeyang squinted his eyes, and when Gu Anhao gradually stopped struggling, he quickly dragged her into the café.

“What are you trying to do? Please let go of me…”

Gu Anhao continued struggling but when she saw that there were many other people in the cafe, she stopped struggling and she quickly lowered her voice. Yi Zeyang dragged her toward an empty table as he sat her down.

Gu Anhao could not help but glare angrily at him as she sat down on the sofa. She quickly shook his hand off as she turned around to look out the glass window that was not too far away.

Yi Zeyang quickly called for a waitress before he made a request, “Please get me a glass of ice and a clean towel. Thank you.”

The waitress nodded before she left, and Yi Zeyang looked at Gu Anhao before he asked, “What happened to your face?”

Anhao did not bother to reply to his question and she merely continued staring out the glass window as she thought about how unlucky she was to run into him at this cafe.

Yi Zeyang could not help but sigh when he realized that Gu Anhao had no intention of answering him. “I was supposed to meet up with a friend at this cafe but he stood me up. I really did not expect to run into you here.”

Gu Anhao continued keeping quiet but when she saw another waitress passing by, she suddenly asked, “Excuse me, can you get me a glass of wine, please? Thank you.”

“Okay, miss. What kind of wine do you want?”

“What is the strongest beverage that you serve here? Do you serve beer or liquor? It would be best if you can get me a glass of brandy. It does not matter how much it is. Anyway, the man sitting next to me can definitely afford to pay for the drink.”

“Alright then.”

Yi Zeyang frowned when he heard Gu Anhao’s words. “What is wrong with you? What happened to you today? Who hit you in the face? What problem can you solve by drinking?”

“…”

“Anhao, talk to me!”

Yi Zeyang had always been like an elder brother to her and this was the first time that he had ever spoken to her using such a harsh tone. Anhao was not used to it at all.

At this time, the waitress quickly delivered a glass of brandy over to them. Gu Anhao took the glass of brandy before taking a big sip. The taste of the brandy was not that strong but as Anhao drank too quickly, she choked and started coughing. However, she closed her eyes and continued to force herself to finish the glass of brandy.

Yi Zeyang could not sit still and watch on so he grabbed the square glass in her hand before he dropped the glass on the ground, smashing it directly.

Gu Anhao was extremely stunned and before she could even regain her senses, Yi Zeyang had already stood up and was grabbing Gu Anhao’s hand. This was the first time that she had ever seen him reacting in this manner, and she could not help herself from stuttering as she was so nervous, “What are you doing?”
