She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1927: Chapter 73: Someone You Can’t Afford to Offend

"The man you were looking for has been completely ruined."

Mr. Gu’s words caused Gu Yuehong to stagger, almost unable to stand. It wasn’t that she felt sorry for the other party, but her heart was filled with fear. She knew Ping Qing was investigating, but she was confident Ping Qing couldn’t find anything.

"Grandpa, who is it? Who did it?" She finally stopped being stubborn and asked urgently.

"Don’t worry about it, anyway, it’s someone you can’t afford to mess with, and neither can I."

"How can there be anyone you can’t afford to mess with?"

Mr. Gu sneered, "Ha... go try it at the Old Mansion, pull out anyone randomly and see if you can afford to mess with them."

At this point, everyone in the Gu Family became solemn. The background that even Mr. Gu was wary of must be considerable. Who could have guessed that the unassuming Ping Family could find such a powerful backing?

Oh right! Ping Guo Fei once served as an assistant to Meng Xingzhi for ten years; naturally, the bond is different from others. Could it be that Meng Xingzhi personally intervened? If that’s the case, he indeed has the power that could make Mr. Gu cautious.

"Look at what you’ve done," the Gu Family’s Second Son glared fiercely at his daughter and reprimanded, "From now on, if you dare act recklessly, don’t blame me for being unkind."

Gu Yuehong shrank back, her shaky appearance looked particularly pitiful. In reality, her heart was filled with anger and unwillingness; this was the first time she had hit a brick wall in many years.

"Tomorrow go to the Ping Family and apologize to Ping Simin," Mr. Gu said, then glared at Fu Shuzhen, "You take money with you and settle the matter."

"Yes."

"Truly, a doting mother spoils her children."

*****

When Gu Yunbo rode her bicycle back to the family apartment courtyard, it wasn’t yet dinner time. The sun had just set, and a group of kids was playing with firecrackers in the yard. Seeing her go in, they shouted around her calling her crazy girl.

"Oh oh... crazy girl can’t come back."

"Crazy girl, where’s your boyfriend? Why didn’t he send you home?"

Gu Yunbo’s face darkened with anger. She knew the neighbors didn’t see her favorably, probably because she liked to keep to herself and didn’t maintain good neighborly relations.

Simply put, she was considered uncaring.

Whatever! She intended to do what she wanted and was not willing to accommodate unrelated people to maintain good neighborly relations.

"Shut up!"

"Crazy girl, crazy girl..."

As soon as Gu Yunbo spoke, the kids shouted even more enthusiastically. In fact, they harbored no malice; they were quite young, probably didn’t even understand what they were saying.

She didn’t bother to engage, parking her bike and taking her big bag upstairs. The items in the bag absolutely couldn’t be discovered by outsiders, especially Ping Qing, who was clever. If he knew, he might guess correctly.

The gun was carried close to her body, and since it was winter, she wore many clothes, not afraid of being discovered. Moreover, she was confident that not just anyone could get close to her.

"Yun Bo," Ping Guo Fei’s voice sounded from outside.

Gu Yunbo, who was crawling out from under the bed, patted the dust off her body and opened the door to go out.

"Uncle, what’s wrong?"

"It’s almost dinner time, it’s lonely for you staying alone, come to Uncle’s house," Ping Guo Fei looked at her with complicated eyes. Ever since Yun Bo moved out, she had completely distanced herself from them.

This incident with Si Ming further plunged their relationship into an icy state, probably leaving no room for reconciliation.

"Oh! Sure." Gu Yunbo turned around to lock the door and followed behind Ping Guo Fei towards building one.

"Yun Bo, this time I apologize for the injustice you suffered. It was Uncle’s mistake, mistaking black for white, misunderstanding you." Ping Guo Fei apologized as they walked, their footsteps unintentionally slowing down.
