Gao Wu: She who transforms into a broken body becomes stronger by adding points Chapter 054

The lounge fell silent once more.

Zeng Yi sighed, walked over and sat beside Gu Jinzhi, picked up the ointment, rubbed it in his palm to warm it, and then gently massaged the bruise on his shoulder.

“Hiss–” Gu Jinzhi gasped in pain.

Zeng Yi’s hands didn’t stop, and his mouth kept nagging, “I said, what the hell is wrong with you today?”

“Out of nowhere, you come to me and act crazy? Even fighting three at once? You think your life is too long?”

Gu Jinzhi’s lips moved, but the words reached his mouth and he swallowed them back.

Zeng Yi looked at him like this, and the fire of gossip in his heart burned fiercely.

He moved closer, lowered his voice, and tentatively asked, “Because… of your wife?”

Gu Jinzhi’s body stiffened suddenly.

Although he quickly regained his composure, that momentary reaction was enough to explain everything.

“I knew it!” Zeng Yi was happy, with a smug look of “seeing through the truth”, “I said, you kid has been like a robot for more than ten years, how come you have so many troubles when you’re about to get married? It turns out it’s related to your wife!”

Gu Jinzhi’s face became even more ugly. He struggled to sit up, but found that his whole body was sore and he couldn’t exert any strength.

Zeng Yi smirked, leaned closer, and said, “Hey, seriously, last time you even asked me, your brother, to give you bad ideas, wanting your wife to hate you! And you said that according to the development of the situation, we would discuss it again… Why, didn’t you discuss it this time?”

Gu Jinzhi suddenly closed his eyes, his thin lips pursed tightly, looking like he was refusing to communicate.

Zeng Yi became more and more excited, with an auntie-like smile on his face: “No way, Brother Zhi, you wouldn’t… say no, but actually you’ve already fallen in love with her, right?”

Hearing Zeng Yi’s teasing, Gu Jinzhi’s heart felt like it was being clenched.

That dazzling pure white uncontrollably broke into his mind.

At the entrance of the fitting room, she gently twirled, holding the hem of her skirt, her figure graceful, with aness on her face that he had never seen before.

The beauty of that moment, and the fact that the two were already legally married, made him feel a warmth and… a sense of attachment that he had never felt before.

This feeling was completely different from family and friendship.

For him, it was too unfamiliar.

So unfamiliar that it made him panic, made him helpless, and even made him feel fear.

He was afraid that he would be softened, that he would be shaken.

He couldn’t be shaken.

So he ran away.

Now, he was trying to drive that pure white light out of his mind with this almost self-destructive method.

Using a body of pain to suppress the mess in his heart.

But it seemed… useless…

Zeng Yi looked at the uncertainty on Gu Jinzhi’s face, and almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.

[Hey! The more you pretend to be unfeeling and desireless, the more earth-shattering it is when you fall in love!]

[Online novels don’t deceive me! I must tell my brothers about this later!]

Seeing that Gu Jinzhi still looked bitter and hateful, Zeng Yi felt that he should add fuel to the fire:

“If you like her, just like her, why so many twists and turns? Brother Zhi, if you keep dawdling like this, I’ll really look down on you!”

Gu Jinzhi slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zeng Yi.

“Zeng Yi,” his voice was hoarse, “if I… don’t come back…”

“! What nonsense!” Zeng Yi interrupted immediately.

But his hand applying the medicine stopped, and he suddenly reacted.

He stared at Gu Jinzhi with wide eyes.

He had said similar words before.

But when he said that at that time, it sounded more like a calm analysis to Zeng Yi, as if the one who was about to go to Xijiang to face the Zhang family’s persecution was not him, Gu Jinzhi.

But this time… the tone was completely different!

This… this was the first time in more than ten years, especially after Grandpa Gu was seriously injured five years ago and the Gu family was in turmoil, that he had seen Gu Jinzhi seem… a little?

“Brother Zhi…” Zeng Yi’s throat was dry, his heart was sour and blocked, and a burst of anger rushed to his head.

He suddenly stood up, paced restlessly in the lounge, then stopped in front of Gu Jinzhi, his eyes frighteningly firm.

“I don’t care! I must go to Xijiang with you!”

“If my great-grandfather dares to stop me, I’ll roll on the ground for him to see!”

“Even if he breaks my legs, I will crawl over!”

“What about the grievances between the Gu and Zhang families? I, Zeng Yi, just want to get involved!”

“I want to see if Zhang Luye dares to touch me, the only male in the Zeng family’s generation!”

Gu Jinzhi looked at him quietly, and the brief fragility before was quickly covered by again.

He endured the pain all over his body, slowly sat up, and his face returned to that aloofness that kept people away.

“Zeng Yi,” his voice was calm, but with an unquestionable decisiveness, “I appreciate your kindness.”

“But this matter ends here.”

“Don’t make it difficult for your family’s old man, and don’t cause me trouble.”

“I will handle my own affairs.”

“You…” Zeng Yi was so angry that his chest heaved up and down, pointing at Gu Jinzhi, unable to say a word for a long time.

Finally, he exploded!

“Fuck!”

Zeng Yi slammed his fist on the back of the sofa next to him, and the expensive leather surface exploded with a “boom”, and the filling inside sprayed everywhere.

Then, he stuffed the medicine bottle back into Gu Jinzhi’s hand, turned around and walked out.

“Okay, you’re capable! I’m not serving you anymore!”

Bang!

The door was slammed shut.

Gu Jinzhi looked at the closed door, then looked down at the medicine bottle in his hand, and pulled out a helpless wry smile.

After a while, he leaned against the wall, slowly stood up, put the ointment in his arms, and stumbled out of the Mad Shark Martial Arts Hall.

—————–

Li Wei was awakened by a messy noise.

She thought it was dawn, but when she glanced out the window, it was still dark outside.

She took out her phone and looked at the time.

02:13

“What the hell is going on?” She muttered as she climbed out of bed, opened the door, and poked her head out.

She happened to see two maids, one holding a basin of water and a towel, and the other carrying a medicine box, hurriedly entering Gu Jinzhi’s room next door.

Then, a driver who looked a little familiar retreated from the bedroom, holding a T-shirt stained with dark red blood stains in his hand.

When he passed the corridor, he saw Li Wei’s head, his face lit up, and said, “Young Madam, you’re awake? That’s great! Please go in and see the young master! He won’t let us tell the master and madam, and he won’t let us call a doctor, but he’s seriously injured, and it’s not a solution to just endure it like this!”

Li Wei was stunned when she heard this and saw the “blood-stained clothes”!

[Damn! What’s going on? Wasn’t he fine this morning?]

[Could it be that he didn’t pay for the pre-marital party and got beaten up?]

Li Wei actually wanted to go back to sleep, and she didn’t believe a word of what he said about being “seriously injured”.

If Gu Jinzhi was really seriously injured, would this driver dare to hide it for him?

But since she had been seen, it wouldn’t be good to close the door and continue sleeping, right?

She remembered intermittently that she was now “Jiang Xue”.

“Cough cough!”

Li Wei slightly concealed her “unconcerned” expression with a dry cough…

Then, her emotions were brewing “in place”…

Then, her face collapsed, and she “staggered” and opened the door, looking like she had drawn all white cards in a hundred consecutive draws, and ran into the next room with “tearful” little steps.

As soon as she entered, she heard Gu Jinzhi’s low roar, suppressing his anger.

“Get out!”
