Chapter 3 (2/2)

Gu Shishi looked at the man who was completely indescribable in utter disbelief before setting her sights on his bathrobe. Then, her small heart instantly shattered to pieces after looking at the exact same bathrobe that Anhao was wearing now.

“Who… Who are you?”

She had wanted to spew all sorts of trash at him, but after seeing him, she stiffly became rather courteous. This man’s aura was truly more than meets the eye.

Anhao herself was dazedly looking at the man and did not react in time.

‘Why did he come out? Why did he come out?’

In order to prevent not only the Gu family from discovering his existence, but also him from being involved in this mess, she could have driven them away. But alas, why on earth did he come out?!

While Zuo Hancheng was talking about official business with his assistant on the phone, he suddenly heard the commotion and foul-mouthed clamoring outside the door, and proceeded to hang up his phone.

He originally had no plans on listening in on this family’s crap, but he was forced to listen to whatever they were saying due to him being stuck in the room.

Zuo Hancheng assumed that it was just an exaggerated family drama on ethics and morality, but Gu Anhao, who was being humiliated by her family, did not try to explain herself.

It was also a piece of cake for Zuo Hancheng to come to realize that the little girl was caught in the trap of these people even though he did not appreciate this kind of drama.

Although Gu Anhao knew this perfectly well, she never retorted nor tried to explain herself.

It was surprising to see that this little girl, who was just a high schooler, was able to control her temper and stand her ground while being bullied by her family.

After coming out of the room, his gaze that fell on Anhao seemed to have traces of piqued interest.

With her back facing them, she was still unmoved by force or persuasion of her so-called Gu family just now, but her face was laced with exhaustion and irritation. However, she also felt embarrassed and really wanted to hide in a hole for having dragged this man into this pit of a mess.

At this time, Zuo Hancheng examined her carefully before coldly glancing at Gu Shishi. “You must be a student too judging by your appearance. Is this how the self-respected Gu family is supposed to be? With words like ‘one-night stand’ and ‘dirty man’ coming out of your mouth the moment you enter the room?”

Gu Shishi did not expect herself to be insulted by the man on Anhao’s behalf. This person might look like a tough nut to crack, she still could not help but retort, “You…”

“Shishi!”

All of a sudden, Madam Gu hurried over and grabbed Gu Shishi by the wrist. Then, she whispered after dragging her backward. “Something seems off, don’t say anything stupid.”

After turning her head to look at Zuo Hancheng without rhyme or reason, Gu Shishi hesitated for a while before turning back to ask in a soft voice, “Mom, who’s this guy?”

After all, Madam Gu was the wife of the mayor, and she had met countless dignitaries over the years. At one glance, she knew that the handsome man in front of her was no ordinary person even though he looked quite unfamiliar.

He overheard their conversation in his room, yet he still walked out in a calm and composed manner and did not have a sense of awe even after knowing that they were the mayor’s family members. Obviously, there was more to this man than meets the eye.

Gu Shishi, who was being pulled to the door, was still feeling disgruntled, but after being stopped by her mother she kept her mouth shut.

The second uncle, who had been standing in front of the door for a while, finally recognized the god in front of him. He then turned back and whispered in a soft voice after inhaling sharply, “This person looks like Zuo Hancheng of Shengling Group.”

The third uncle of the Gu family also took a closer look. “Seems like he really is!”

“A few years ago, Shengling Group moved its corporate headquarters back to China from the United States for the vigorous development of domestic enterprise resources. This Zuo Hancheng is the number one man in the commercial world, even the province can’t hire him!”
