Chapter 66: “A Bunch of Idiots”

Zhang Xuan’s information was all on Gu Yusen’s phone, and he read it on the way.

The guy had a pretty miserable life. He dropped out of school after graduating junior high. His father was a gambler, his mother was weak, and he had a younger sister in school.

The whole family depended on him.

Gu Yusen sighed, picked up the tonics the driver had bought in advance, and entered the ward.

Zhang Xuan wasn’t asleep; he was on the phone, his voice especially gentle, sounding like he was talking to his sister.

When he saw Gu Yusen come in, he hurriedly said a few words and hung up.

“Mr. Gu.”

“Were you on the phone with your sister?” Gu Yusen put the things he brought on the table and pulled a chair over to sit by the bed.

“Yes, my sister asked why I didn’t come home today.” Zhang Xuan’s delicate face was inexplicably flushed, and he didn’t dare to look up at Gu Yusen.

“I’m sorry about what happened tonight. I apologize to you on behalf of Chu Zhaoyi.” Gu Yusen’s face was apologetic. Zhang Xuan’s words to Chu Zhaoyi were also harsh, but that was ultimately not a reason for Chu Zhaoyi to push someone.

Zhang Xuan’s face instantly paled. He thought that Gu Yusen had come so late for other reasons, maybe because he was worried about him?

But now it seemed it was all for Chu Zhaoyi. He didn’t even want Chu Zhaoyi to come forward to apologize himself.

Zhang Xuan laughed at his own stupidity. Why did he think Chu Zhaoyi was just a son casually adopted by the Gu family? Gu Yusen clearly valued him so much…

But if this had happened to another young master, they would have casually sent someone over to deal with it and finally give him some money to shut him up.

Gu Yusen had already done very well, even lowering himself to come over and say sorry.

Should Zhang Xuan be happy?

He should be happy.

But what were the unstoppable tears in his eyes?

“Mr. Gu…” Zhang Xuan didn’t know what to say, he could only weakly call Gu Yusen’s name.

“Of course, I will cover all your treatment expenses, including your father’s gambling debts. I will pay them off for you. If you need it, I can help your sister transfer to the best middle school in A City. Don’t worry about the cost. In addition to that, I will give you a sum of money as compensation.” Gu Yusen believed that he had done everything he could.

Zhang Xuan’s father owed millions in gambling debts; he would take care of it.

Zhang Xuan stared blankly at Gu Yusen’s face.

His father’s gambling debts had always been a huge weight on their shoulders. The debt collectors came to their house every few days, his sister couldn’t concentrate on her studies, and his mother would be beaten by his father to vent his anger after the debt collectors left.

He worked so hard for these gambling debts.

But he had no education and couldn’t find a high-paying job.

It was laughable, wasn’t it? The money he had earned so hard for so many years wasn’t even as much as the interest on the gambling debts.

But now, it sounded so simple coming from Gu Yusen’s mouth, as if it were just a few dollars.

He profited, he profited greatly. Just a few insignificant scrapes and bruises could solve his family’s problems, he wouldn’t have to live like a rat in the gutter, hiding and scurrying, and his sister wouldn’t be affected anymore, and could even go to a better school and have a better future.

He didn’t understand, he only knew from others what kind of presence the Gu family, Gu Yusen was in A City. Usually, Gu Yusen seemed no different from ordinary people, and he even presumptuously had other thoughts.

But now he clearly realized how big the gap between them was.

Gu Yusen frowned, looking at the feelings in Zhang Xuan’s eyes that he couldn’t hide. He felt it was troublesome.

“Zhang Xuan, I don’t mean to insult you, but based on what I know about your family’s situation, the conditions I’m offering can completely solve it. This is beneficial to you in every way, and you should agree.”

Feelings can make people lose the rationality to weigh the pros and cons.

If Zhang Xuan rejected his conditions for that ridiculous emotion, he would think he was stupid.

“Mr. Gu, what if I don’t agree? What will you do?” Zhang Xuan smiled, wiped the wetness from his face, and looked up at Gu Yusen’s face.

This was the first time they were so close.

But he felt incredibly far away, so far that he couldn’t touch him no matter what.

Gu Yusen was here now, first to express his apology, and second to shut him up, right?

“This matter is the Gu family’s fault to you, I will try my best to meet your requirements,” Gu Yusen said indifferently.

Gu Yusen’s tone changed, and his eyes sharpened.

“If you don’t agree, I will take some unconventional measures.”

“You wouldn’t want to know the Gu family’s methods, and Chu Zhaoyi is a legitimate member of the Gu family and enjoys everything the Gu family has, just like me, not some son you say we casually adopted.”

Zhang Xuan was dazed for a moment. He should have known. Even in this situation, Gu Yusen would be angry because of his shallow sarcasm towards Chu Zhaoyi.

“If my previous actions caused you any misunderstanding, then I’m sorry. I didn’t instruct your promotion. Zheng Qi heard about that and thought you and I were somewhat related, so he took it upon himself.” Gu Yusen felt that this matter should also be explained clearly.

“I see,” Zhang Xuan nodded numbly. He should have thought of it. Why would someone like Gu Yusen treat someone like him preferentially?

“I agree. Thank you, Mr. Gu. I won’t say a word about what happened today,” Zhang Xuan’s heart ached severely, but he wasn’t some useless person who would indulge in unfounded emotions.

There was no reason not to agree to the more favorable conditions now in front of him.

“Thank you,” Gu Yusen nodded.

“I’m still sorry about what happened today. I’ll teach Chu Zhaoyi a lesson when I get back.”

“My assistant will continue to follow up on the compensation later.”

Zhang Xuan looked at Gu Yusen’s face, remembering when he was in the private room, when Chu Zhaoyi hadn’t come yet, and there were only the two of them. Although Gu Yusen was resting with his eyes closed, he still maintained an alert state.

Until Chu Zhaoyi came in.

He saw that beautiful young man carelessly push open the door and come in.

When Gu Yusen saw him, his eyes were full of indulgence, without a trace of dissatisfaction that he barged in without knocking.

Later, the two communicated as if no one else was there, and Gu Yusen maintained a relaxed state.

Gu Yusen probably didn’t even realize that his eyes were full of tenderness and indulgence when he looked at Chu Zhaoyi.

Zhang Xuan was a little dazed. When he came back to his senses, Gu Yusen had already stood up and was about to leave.

“Mr. Gu!” Zhang Xuan subconsciously called out to him, but didn’t dare to call him “San Mu” again. He understood his position very well; everything before was just wishful thinking.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Yusen turned around.

“You may not have seen the post on the A University forum. Recently, someone revealed that you used your connections to get Chu Zhaoyi into A University and sent him to Professor Qin. But I don’t think you’re the kind of person who would do that.”

Zhang Xuan told Gu Yusen about this, knowing that Gu Yusen must not have noticed it. If he had, this matter wouldn’t have escalated like this.

Gu Yusen didn’t like to use his power to suppress others. Even if he might use some connections to get Chu Zhaoyi into A University, if Chu Zhaoyi really didn’t have any ability, how could Professor Qin, such an arrogant person, be forced to accept him?

Gu Yusen really didn’t know about this. Hearing this, he immediately took out his phone and glanced at it. Sure enough, the most popular post on the forum was the so-called expose, with Chu Zhaoyi’s photos clearly posted on it.

But no one had the guts to post his.

Gu Yusen was amused.

“A bunch of idiots.”
