Gorgeous Female Tenants
Chapter 585: You Can’t Live By Creating Your Own TroublesSeeing Xu Xiangbei find the IOU, Gu Chengjun and his wife immediately turned ashen. They knew that after the kidnapping of Gu Xinyan, Xu Xiangbei forbade Gu Jie from returning to Huaxia, threatening his life if he came back. Who would have thought their son Gu Jie would sneak back, only to fall into the hands of Fatty Cui from the West City Martial Arts School.
Hearing from Gu Xiangyi that the debt collector was a tall and heavyset man, very fierce, and seeing Fatty Cui’s number on the back of the IOU, Xu Xiangbei asked suspiciously, "What’s that fat guy’s name?"
"I don’t know his name, he just said he’s from the West City Martial Arts School."
Xu Xiangbei took out his phone and dialed. Uncle and his wife were extremely nervous: "Dr. Xu, are you calling that fat guy? Please don’t provoke them, we’re begging you."
"Provoke them? No, I’m going to scold them to death."
"What?"
Aunt Sun Xiaoli almost cried, and at that moment, the call connected.
Fatty Cui, hearing an unfamiliar number ring, impatiently shouted, thinking it was someone from the Gu family, "Who is it? Is this about repaying the debt?"
Xu Xiangbei chuckled, "Are you Fatty Cui? The one I once used a stun baton on, the one who literally shit himself?"
Fatty Cui was immediately furious and about to shout, but suddenly remembered something. Only one person had ever used a baton to shock him until he nearly shat himself. The voice sounded familiar, really like that person.
He could only utter, "You..." then froze, eyes wide open.
Knowing Fatty Cui recognized his voice, Xu Xiangbei sneered, "Why so silent? Forgot about me in just a year?"
Now sure it was indeed Xu Xiangbei, Fatty Cui turned meek as a rooster after a fight, and nervously asked, "Dr. Xu? How did you get my number?"
Xu Xiangbei glanced at the IOU and smiled, "I’m at the Gu Family’s place. Heard Gu Jie owes you five million?"
Fatty Cui chuckled bitterly, "Brother, I didn’t know you had ties with their family. I don’t want this money anymore. Please, spare me."
Xu Xiangbei laughed, "How can that be? How can you forgo the money you’re owed? Tell you what, chop up that punk, bury him somewhere, and I’ll still pay you the money."
Fatty Cui was dumbfounded, not understanding Xu Xiangbei, thinking he was speaking sarcastically, blaming him for forcefully collecting debts.
He chuckled wryly, "Brother Xu, he really lost five million to us. I didn’t know he was connected to you. I truly don’t want this money."
Hearing that Xu Xiangbei seemed to know Fatty Cui and even suggested having Gu Jie chopped up and buried, Gu Chengjun and his wife were terrified, and both knelt down before Xu Xiangbei simultaneously: "Dr. Xu, show mercy, we admit our mistakes. Please spare Ah Jie."
Xu Xiangbei told Fatty Cui, "I’ll call you back later; I have some matters to handle here."
Xu Xiangbei coldly looked at Uncle Gu Chengjun and his wife: "I told you, if your son dared to come back, I’d take his life. He must take responsibility for his actions."
Uncle and Aunt immediately burst into tears, begging desperately. Seeing them weep so pitifully, the others in the house, including Second Uncle and Aunt, maid Sister Wu, and guard Uncle Nan, all showed sympathetic expressions.
Grandfather, knowing Gu Jie was wrong first, simply closed his eyes, shaking his head in resignation: "Such sin, such sin."
Gu Xiangyi, sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, saw her uncle and aunt weeping and frowned slightly, wanting to speak for them. Gu Xinyan stopped her sister, taking out a recording pen: "Sister, listen to the recording first."
The recording was Uncle spilling the situation of Gu Xiangyi’s parents to Wu Xinwen, trying to ruin Gu Xinyan’s reputation. After hearing it, Uncle and Aunt also stopped crying.
The living room fell into dead silence.
With a slap, Uncle viciously struck Aunt Sun Xiaoli, causing blood to trickle from the corner of her mouth. Uncle roared, "Why did you do this?"
Aunt looked ashen, her expression filled with remorse and helplessness: "I’m sorry, I was jealous seeing Gu Xinyan become a star. I envied her being on top, achieving success, while my son couldn’t return from abroad. So, I wanted to ruin her. Xinyan, I’m sorry, I’m a beast."
As she was speaking, Sun Xiaoli suddenly rushed towards the wall, intending to atone with her life, but Xu Xiangbei, quick-eyed and quick-handed, threw an iron ball tied with wire that caught her shoulder in time, preventing a bloody scene in the living room.
"I’m sorry to all of you, let me die, let me die."
The Gu Family Sisters exchanged a glance, feeling guilty as Aunt was about to hit the wall. Gu Xiangyi sighed softly, "Enough, as long as you know your wrongs, we don’t want to push you to death."
At that moment, Fatty Cui’s loud voice came from outside the door: "Brother Xu, I’ve brought Gu Jie."
Fatty Cui entered the living room with a smile on his chubby face, pulling along a filthy beggar with a bruised face and tattered clothes, emitting a stench that was nauseating, causing everyone to frown.
No one recognized that the beggar was actually Gu Jie.
Seeing Xu Xiangbei, Gu Jie looked like a beggar caught stealing, eyes filled with fear, shivering and shrinking back, trying to stay away from Xu Xiangbei.
In everyone’s impression, Gu Jie was a fair-skinned, handsome young man, but this beggar was emaciated, with skin and bones, stubbled, bruised, and unkempt hair.
It took Gu Chengjun and his wife a long time to recognize that it was indeed Gu Jie, and the three burst into loud sobs, moving both the Gu Family Sisters and Second Aunt Shang Xiaohong to tears.
The Gu Family Sisters exchanged a resigned glance. They once hated Gu Jie for kidnapping Gu Xinyan, but seeing him in such a miserable state, the hatred vanished.
Grandfather sat on the sofa too weak to stand, shaking his head with a bitter smile: "Such sin, such sin."
Xu Xiangbei cast a contemptuous glance at Fatty Cui, "You got out so soon; I thought you’d die in prison."
Fatty Cui smiled, nodding subserviently, "Thanks to Brother Xu’s help. If you hadn’t had me testify against Li Sandao, I wouldn’t have had the chance to atone. So, I thank Brother Xu again; you gave me a chance at rebirth."
Glancing at Gu Jie, Xu Xiangbei laughed, "Why’d you bring the kid here? Didn’t I tell you to chop him up and bury him somewhere?"
Fatty Cui stared blankly at Xu Xiangbei, unsure if he was joking or serious.
He chuckled wryly, "Brother, stop messing with me. Didn’t I just bring him here for you? If you really want to finish him off, I’ll drag him away now."
Hearing Fatty Cui say this, Gu Chengjun’s family wailed even louder, the couple clung tightly to their son, too afraid to let go, fearing Fatty Cui might actually drag their son away.
