Chapter 753: Are You Happy Now? (1)
He stopped her hand in the mid-air before it reached Xu Weilai.
Zuo Si stared at the hand that stopped her, her gaze trailed the hand to Zuo An’s face. She sneered as she pull her hand away from his. Then she landed another heavy blow.
The sound of a heavy slap echoed in the room.
However, this blow did not reach Xu Weilai’s face. It landed on Zuo An’s face instead.
Zuo Si used up all her strength to land this blow. Zuo An’s face cocked to a side and his fair face reddened into a shape of a palm. However, he only grimaced.
“Have you had enough?” Zuo An looked at Zuo Si with no emotion, his words laced with sarcasm. “You got to admit defeat if you take a bet. You will look ugly if you get exasperated or show discomfit.”
Zuo Si snorted
She retorted at Zuo An’s words, “I would still show you admiration if you are not as despicable and not using your dirty tricks.”
Whatever happened, happened. It was a point of no return, no matter how much they argued.
Zuo Si bit her lower lip hard and took a few deep breaths. She suppressed her sorrowful emotions, “I want to take Gu Yu with me.”
Zuo An frowned.
Zuo Si snorted at his reaction and scowled at Xu Weilai, “She has no right to touch Gu Yu now”
Then she turned to Zuo An, “You’re even more lowly.”
“Get lost and bring Xu Weilai with you.”
Zuo Si squatted by Gu Yu’s side and tried to support his body weight with both of her arms. She forcefully pulled him away from Xu Weilai’s body and then laid him flat on the ground.
Xu Weilai sat frozen on the floor, all the while in a daze.
“You did it. Why put on a show now?”
Her stunned look infuriated Zuo Si as she hurled even more rude words towards Xu Weilai. “I’ll return a stab for Gu Yu if you still refuse to leave.”
Zuo An’s hesitation immediately disappeared when he saw Xu Weilai’s reddened eyes.
“Weilai, let’s go.” He talked to Weilai as gentle as possible, as if he was afraid of scaring her.
His words fell to deaf ears as she sat there with no intention to move.
Zuo An bent towards Xu Weilai and reached out to hold her up when she saw that Zuo Si’s emotion was getting out of control. He then strode out of the room with Xu Weilai in his arms.
Qiao Chu stepped forward and stood in Zuo An’s path. He took a quick glance at Gu Yu on the floor, “Mr. Zuo, are you really going to hand Gu Yu over to Miss Zuo just like that?”
Zuo An gave him a sideways glance.
Chill ran down Xiao Chu’s spine as he retreated silently.
Zuo An understood that he did not need to have a head-on fight with Zuo Si over a dead man. Without Gu Yu’s help, Zuo Si lost her trump card against him. But she was still part of Zuo family, daughter of his father, CEO Zuo. There was no need to create more unnecessary trouble.
Moreover... he did not want Xu Weilai to stay in this place, not even for a second, although it was ironic that he caused her suffering at this moment.
–
After they walked out of the room, Xu Weilai talked out of a sudden, “I want to wash my hands.”
Zuo An paused, then gave her a quick reply, “Okay.”
He brought her towards the bathroom, but before he reached the washroom door, she jumped down from his embrace and rushed in to the washroom.
Xu Weilai stood in front of the sink and turned on the tap, then forcefully scrubbed the bloodstain on her hands under the running water.
Soon, all the bloodstains on her hand were gone. However, she still continued the scrubbing motion as if she could not see that her hand was already clean.
Zuo An watched helplessly at Xu Weilai, as she continued scrubbing her hand under the flowing water for almost half an hour, until the skin on her hands turned red. He pursed his lips and walked into the washroom to move her away from the sink, but she pushed him away with all her might when his hand touched her.
