Chapter 71 - 71 Learning to Respect
71 Learning to Respect
Mo Xue and Bai Feng hugged the mineral water and drank it as if they had survived a calamity. The two of them were only focused on acting along the way and did not pick up any supplies.
The two of them were really thirsty and tired from being chased by zombies all the way. They only recovered after drinking half a bottle of water.
“Have you seen my sister-in-law?” Gu Zi waited for the two of them to recover before asking, but the answer she received was no.
Gu Zi was a little frustrated. He was worried that Mo Yu would not be able to find supplies and hide from the zombies alone. His face was filled with sorrow.
It was very difficult for the audience in the live-stream to empathize with him. Mo Xue looked at Gu Zi, who was really worried about Mo Yu, and could not help but say, “It’s okay. Xiao Yu used to live in the countryside. Compared to us, her stamina is much better. She’ll be fine.”
Mo Xue’s original intention was to reassure Gu Zi, but these words became her mockery in Gu Zi’s ears, who already disliked Mo Xue.
Gu Zi glanced at Mo Xue coldly and said, “No matter what, Sister Mo Yu is still my brother’s wife, the wife of the future head of the Gu family. I’m worried about her because I was taught to respect girls and take care of them since I was young. No matter what she was like in the past, she’s only a girl now. She’s indeed different from a weak dodder flower like you. She’s stronger and more independent than you, but this doesn’t mean that she doesn’t need the care of her companions.”
After Gu Zi finished speaking, he pulled Xu Yan and walked elsewhere. He did not want to stay with Mo Xue for half a second longer, and the comments finally started rolling.
[Little brother is so handsome.]
[The way little brother spoke just now was a little like President Gu.]
[I can only sigh. As expected of the Gu family. As expected of a true wealthy family. They really value upbringing.]
Gu Lian, who was in front of the screen, also heard his brother’s words. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
Gu Lian remembered that when Gu Zi was young, he liked to cause trouble. Later on, when he went to primary school, Gu Zi cut the hair of a little girl one afternoon. When he asked the reason, he found out that Gu Zi liked that little girl very much, but the little girl ignored him. Gu Zi flew into a rage out of humiliation and cut her hair.
That was the first time Father Gu had hit Gu Zi. He had taught Gu Zi over and over again to respect a girl’s choice. He had to understand that liking someone should be expressed through friendly actions and not provoke trouble.
At that time, Gu Zi’s butt was swollen from the beating. He did not dare to sit on the hard bench for two days.
Now, it seemed that proper education was sometimes needed.
Gu Zi pulled Xu Yan away from Bai Feng and Mo Yu. Xu Yan was caught off guard by him and staggered a few steps before stabilizing himself.
He nudged Gu Zi with his arm. “Why do you not seem to like this Miss Mo Xue very much? Do the two of you have a grudge?”
Gu Zi nodded unhappily, but then shook his head. “The engagement between my family and her family was set a long time ago. At that time, the Mo family and my mother were old friends. My brother and Mo Xue didn’t interact much, but my age was similar to hers, so I was always arranged by the adults to play together.”
Gu Zi’s face was red. It was unknown if he was angry or hot.
He walked forward with his head lowered. Without looking at the road, he continued walking and said, “When she was young, she loved to snatch my candy and make me carry her. If I didn’t agree, she would tell my parents that I didn’t respect women’s choices. Every time she complained, I would be scolded. If it were you, would you be able to take it?”
Xu Yan looked at Gu Zi sympathetically. He did not have such childhood friends, but if he was really oppressed like this every day, Xu Yan felt that he would break down too.
Gu Zi walked faster and faster, but he still lowered his head and complained about Mo Xue’s many actions.
Finally, as if Gu Zi had said enough, he suddenly opened his hands. “Now! I finally don’t have to be oppressed by her! My brother has also escaped the sea of bitterness of marrying her! All of this is the blessing that Sister Mo Yu brought us!”
Xu Yan was stunned for a moment when he saw his good friend suddenly cheer as if he was crazy.
The comments did not stop. Gu Zi’s complaints were all received by the microphone. The netizens who were originally also shouted together.
[This is a blessing!]
[Thank you, Sister Mo Yu!]
