Chapter 548: Gu Xunjing risked his life!
"After that battle, War God Wolf Yi disappeared from the land of Country A, and there has been no news of him since. Some say he died in battle but left a will forbidding people from paying their respects, while others say he retired. No one knows what really happened back then?"
The atmosphere became somewhat somber when this heavy battle was discussed.
At this moment, Li Wanyin quickly changed the subject, saying, "Why am I saying so much? Let's not talk about this anymore. Sui Sui, you must have been frightened. Come inside and Auntie will prepare something for you to eat."
Li Wanyin quickly pulled Jiang Qianhui into the house, with Gu Xunjing following behind. Only then did Li Wanyin finally remember her eldest son.
"Son, how did you get your face injured? It's covered in bruises. Aunt Wu, could you get me the first-aid kit?"
Gu Xunjing then gave an awkward smile; his mother had finally noticed him.
"Mom, you've finally noticed me! People who don't know me would think I'm a son-in-law who married into the family. Sui Sui is your real daughter."
Li Wanyin smiled brightly and said, "You know what, I think Sui Sui looks more like me than you. Back then, I was the first Miss Universe winner in Country A, so I should have a daughter as beautiful as Sui Sui."
"Mom, am I not pretty?"
Gu Xunjing possesses one of the few looks in Country A that can rival top idols.
However, in the eyes of her biological mother, Li Wanyin, it seemed to be worthless.
"It's barely passable, otherwise do you think I could have raised you this long? I would have abandoned you long ago."
Gu Xunjing: "..." She forgot that her mother was obsessed with looks.
At this moment, Gu Xunjing suddenly turned his gaze to his father, Gu Xuanwu, staring intently at him and scrutinizing him from head to toe.
His gaze seemed to say, "This old man isn't even good-looking. His mother is obsessed with looks, so why did she fall for this old man?"
Gu Xuanwu said angrily, "Hey, brat, what do you mean by looking at me like that?"
Gu Xunjing said with a bright smile, "I'm just thinking about historical issues."
"What do you mean by thinking about historical issues? The way you're looking at me clearly shows you think my father is ugly. How could your mother have fallen for me back then?"
Gu Xunjing said awkwardly, "You figured that out."
Gu Xuanwu said in a raised voice, "You brat, wasn't your gaze obvious?"
Gu Xunjing calmly said, "I'm sorry, then I'll be more subtle next time, or could you just answer my question directly?"
Gu Xuanwu: "..."
Gu Xuanwu was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.
"You little brat, I'll let you run first. If I catch you, I promise I won't kill you."
"Wait, old man, don't come any closer!"
Gu Xunjing was chased all over the house by Gu Xuanyu, which amused Jiang Qianhui and Li Wanyin.
At this moment, Aunt Wu brought the medicine box.
Gu Xunjing quickly explained, "Dad, you must have been very handsome when you were young, but time is a cruel mistress. Can your son apply the medicine now? Otherwise, if I'm disfigured, Sui Sui probably won't like me anymore!"
Gu Xuanwu stopped after hearing Gu Xunjing's words.
That seems to be true.
"Someone like you wouldn't even look at you."
Although he said that, he was actually afraid that his daughter-in-law would run away.
“You two, father and son, can’t go a day without making a scene.”
Although Li Wanyin seemed to be blaming someone, she had a happy smile on her face.
She has the most loving husband in the world and a filial son; she is happy.
Jiang Qianhui loves taking care of her family and enjoying a harmonious family atmosphere.
"Son, come here, let me apply the medicine for you."
Gu Xunjing walked up to Li Wanyin, and Li Wanyin applied medicine to him.
"Son, how did you get this injury?"
Gu Xunjing retorted, "It's all because of that shameless bastard Zhan Yanxun! After that fake Qiao Weiwei was taken away by the police, I wanted to take Sui Sui away, but that shameless bastard Zhan Yanxun actually ambushed me and knocked me unconscious with a stick. When I woke up, I was in the basement of their Zhan family's house."
Li Wanyin was very angry when she heard this, and she didn't control her strength well, so she used too much force.
Gu Xunjing cried out in pain, and Li Wanyin said angrily, "Zhan Yanxun, how could you be so despicable? You kidnapped Sui Sui and then you, locking you in the basement. How did you escape?"
Gu Xuanwu went to rescue Gu Xunjing and Jiang Qianhui, but he didn't have time to tell Li Wanyin about it. After all, he had just received a message from Gu Xunjing and went straight there.
"Did Zhan Yanxun think he could keep me locked up by tying me up and having a bunch of people guard me? Just thinking about Sui Sui being in that bastard's hands makes me feel like even the Heavenly King himself couldn't hold me back."
Gu Xunjing was emotional and waved his arms, inadvertently revealing a gaping wound on his right wrist.
Jiang Qianhui saw it and quickly stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and pulled open his sleeve, revealing a shocking wound.
Jiang Qianhui's eyes widened in shock, and she almost couldn't speak.
"You...your wrist..."
Gu Xunjing quickly pulled his sleeves up again and said nonchalantly, "It just took a little effort to break free of the ropes, but it's nothing, I'll be fine soon."
Even with their skin torn and bleeding, they still say they're fine.
Jiang Qianhui looked at Gu Xunjing, her eyes filled with heartache.
He must have endured great pain to break free of the rope.
"You're injured like this, and you didn't say anything."
"Sui Sui, I'm fine, it really doesn't hurt."
"Why didn't you treat your hands like hands? You hurt yourself like this. How could you be so stupid? Zhan Yanxun is keeping you locked up; he wouldn't dare touch you. Why did you still risk your life like that!"
Although Zhan Yanxun had Gu Xunjing locked up, Gu Xunjing was the eldest young master of the Gu family. How could he dare to touch him easily? He was just locking him up and making him suffer a little. He only needed to wait quietly for Zhan Yanxun to release him. There was no need to fight to the death or make himself injured.
Gu Xunjing endured the excruciating pain of his wrists being torn and broken in order to break free of the rope, slowly and painstakingly freeing himself.
He was sweating profusely from the pain, but he didn't stop.
"Sui Sui, how can I wait any longer if I think about you being in his hands? What kind of man am I if I can't protect you?"
Looking at the injury on Gu Xunjing's wrist, Li Wanyin felt heartbroken; how painful it must be for him to have his skin torn open.
However, she immediately comforted Jiang Qianhui, saying, "Suihui, it's already a blessing for him that you feel sorry for him. A man must protect the woman he loves. If he can't even do that, I won't let you marry him."
Gu Xunjing: "..."
"Mom, can't you just say that a man like me is someone you can entrust your life to? Can't you give me a little push?"
"This is a man a woman can entrust her life to. That's the most basic requirement!"
Well, she really is her own mother; she can't even get a single compliment.
At this moment, Li Wanyin said to Gu Xuanyu with a solemn expression, "Old Gu, Zhan Yanxun actually dared to kidnap our son. Does he really think our Gu family is just for show? Old Gu, no matter what means you use, I want you to wipe out the Zhan family!"
