Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist's Uncle

Chapter 355: A Private Meeting With A Man

“No.” Gu Shen lowered his head. After guessing who had done it, he felt hatred and disappointment. However, for some reason, after his heart ached for a moment, he could not feel it anymore. All that was left was anger.

Right.

He was so annoyed by Ling Sheng that he wanted her to disappear from his sight.

However, he had his own principles. He would definitely not pay fake commenters to defame her, much less find someone to splash paint on her.

“State the 12th rule of the Gu Family.”

“A wise man should know his own limits. When a gentleman is virtuous, pursuing fame and benefits will only invite trouble.”

“Did you do it?”

“Third Uncle, please punish me.”

Jun Shiyan looked at his nephew, who had been raised by him single-handedly, and whipped his back mercilessly. “Tell me the 16th rule.”

“Your words and actions must be elegant, and you must avoid making a fool of yourself. Your jokes and words mustn’t be inappropriate or evil...”

Xu Xi was at the door. The study door was not closed, so he could clearly hear Gu Shen reciting the family rules loudly amid the sound of the Third Master whipping him. He could not help but feel his heart ache.

After ten lashes, Gu Shen’s head was covered in cold sweat. He gritted his teeth in pain and endured this agony as he looked at the man in front of him. “Thank you for your guidance, Third Uncle.”

“Xu Xi, take him down to apply medicine to his wounds,” Jun Shiyan ordered. When he heard a WeChat notification, his ice-cold eyes melted instantly. They were warm and gentle as his fair fingers started typing.

Gu Shen took a look at his Third Uncle. He did not know what kind of news this was or who could make his angry Third Uncle instantly become gentle.

When he reached the door, he heard the man’s cold voice. “Ah Shen, you have a girlfriend.”

Gu Shen’s feet paused, and his heart skipped a beat. He was scared out of his wits. Could his Third Uncle have already guessed that he had not done this? After calming down, he said, “Yes.”

Jun Shiyan nodded lightly. “You can leave.”

Gu Shen applied medicine to his injury and left the house, not caring how serious his injury was.

Xu Xi looked at the man standing by the window and reported, “Third Master, we’ve already sent someone to follow Master Gu.”

What was Master Gu going to do when he had such a serious injury? How big of a deal was this? It seemed to be even more important than his injury. The Third Master had not held back at all. His back had been beaten until the skin had split open and his scalp had gone numb.

Gu Shen drove, enduring the pain in his back as he reached Luo Xin’s house. Since she was not filming today, she should be coming home.

When he reached the ground floor of the villa, he saw her get out of a black van. The man standing by the car door was holding an umbrella for her gentlemanly, and the duo entered the house while chatting and laughing.

The expression in his eyes crumbled, and his grip on the steering wheel tightened. His veins popped on his skin. While he had been whipped due to the family’s disciplinary rules in her stead, she had actually been meeting another man in private.

“Senior Fu, sorry to trouble you. Be careful on your way back.” Luo Xin looked at the man beside her gratefully.

“Xin Xin, can’t you invite me in for a cup of tea?” Fu Qingyuan could not bear to leave. The girl in front of him was the person he had liked for five years. He did not want to be separated from her after just meeting her.

“Sorry, Senior Fu.” Luo Xin rejected him politely and rubbed her temples in exhaustion. “I’m a little tired. Another day!”

“Xin Xin, you’re sick and you need someone to take care of you. I’ll leave after seeing you take your medicine, alright?” Fu Qingyuan looked at her worriedly. When he saw her body sway, he hurriedly reached out to hold her arm nervously.
