Chapter 268: Beaten

Gu Cheng, Gu Shan and Xie Fang’s son, and Gu Xiao’s former younger brother.

Chu An thought of the bits and pieces he had heard from Gu Xiao previously, and his eyes turned cold as he looked at Gu Cheng in front of him.

Gu Cheng was focused on the game, so how could he care about anything else? Even when someone entered the house, he did not notice anything wrong.

He lowered his head and kept his eyes on the phone. He said bluntly, “How would I know?! If you want to find someone, don’t you know how to find them yourself? Don’t f*cking disturb me!”

Gu Xiao frowned when she saw Gu Cheng in such a state.

Seeing that the other party still looked indifferent, Gu Xiao took two steps forward and snatched Gu Cheng’s phone away. “Look at me and say it again!”

Gu Cheng was at a critical moment in his game when his phone was suddenly snatched away. He was furious and jumped up to clench his fists. Without even looking at the person in front of him, he wanted to hit Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao was about to make a move, but Chu An, who had been paying attention to her, strode over when Gu Cheng jumped up. He raised his hand and easily blocked Gu Cheng’s fist. Then, he exerted strength in his wrist and threw Gu Cheng aside.

Although Gu Cheng was young, the Gu family had always doted on Gu Cheng very much. His weight was really not light.

At this moment, he was thrown to the ground by Chu An, making a dull sound.

Gu Cheng had never suffered such grievances before. He immediately let out a cry, and his pig-like howl made Gu Xiao and Chu An frown at the same time.

Chu An clenched his fists and looked at Gu Cheng with coldness and impatience in his eyes.

He was about to walk towards Gu Cheng, who was lying on the ground and howling, when Gu Xiao reached out to stop him.

“Don’t dirty your hands for people like that.”

Upon hearing this, Chu An stopped in his tracks and glanced at Gu Xiao. Seeing that the other party really didn’t want him to stand up for her, he shifted his gaze away from Gu Cheng indignantly.

This was because he was afraid that as long as he was looking at Gu Cheng, he would not be able to help but want to beat him up.

After all, with Gu Cheng’s attitude just now, one could imagine what kind of life Gu Xiao had when she was in the Gu family.

“If you still don’t get up and answer my question, don’t blame me for attacking again,” Gu Xiao said coldly to Gu Cheng, who was on the ground.

Gu Cheng rolled on the ground, ignoring his already dirty clothes.

“Ahhh! I want to tell Grandpa and Grandma that you bullied me! I want Grandpa and Grandma to beat you to death! Just you wait!”

He kept screaming in pain and had no intention of cooperating with Gu Xiao.

“Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

Chu An was already angry at the entire Gu family. Previously, he didn’t make a move because of Gu Xiao’s persuasion. Seeing that Gu Cheng was so uncooperative, how could he tolerate it?

He walked straight to Gu Cheng’s side, clenched his fists, and punched Gu Cheng again and again. Every punch landed solidly.

Previously, Gu Cheng’s howls were subconsciously to make Gu Xiao and Chu An not dare to hit him, but now, he really felt pain.

He rolled on the ground, wanting to dodge the falling fists, but he could not dodge no matter what.

Gu Xiao stood two meters away from them and watched as Chu An stood up for her.

She had advised Chu An previously not because she was afraid of Gu Cheng, but because she didn’t want to cause too much trouble. Since Gu Cheng wasn’t cooperating, she had no choice.

Gu Cheng’s howl attracted the surrounding villagers. At this moment, the door of the courtyard was wide open, and the people outside could easily see the situation in the courtyard.

Initially, some of them wanted to go forward and help, but after someone recognized Gu Xiao, those who wanted to help stopped completely.

If it was someone from another village, they might have helped because they were from the same village. However, since it was Gu Xiao, it was normal for her to beat him up.

After all, they were all from the same village. They all knew what kind of life Gu Xiao had led previously.

Moreover, the Gu family did not have a good reputation in the village. There was no one who sincerely wanted to help. They might as well watch the show.

“Alright, stop beating him.”

After Chu An pummelled him for about two minutes, Gu Xiao finally spoke up to stop him.

When Chu An heard Gu Xiao’s words, the hand that was raised in midair stopped. He looked down at Gu Cheng, who had already been beaten into a pig’s head by him. In the end, he still obeyed Gu Xiao’s words and stopped.

He let go of Gu Cheng, stood up, and walked to Gu Xiao’s side. He did not speak and protected Gu Xiao like a guard..
