Forced to Date a Big Shot

Ms. Night Li was a landscape painter who had recently risen to prominence. She had very few paintings and it was hard to find one.

Gu Peng and Li Zixia had studied national art together since they were young. Although they were not professional, they liked it very much.

Li Zixia felt that Gu Peng was baffled. “What are you saying? Who is the hooligan?!”

Seeing that Gu Peng still wanted to say something, Li Zixia waved her hand. “Alright, you don’t have to worry about my matters. I don’t want to hear you speak ill of Sister Xi here.”

Gu Peng: “…”

Li Zixia had been his sidekick since she was young and called him Brother Gu Peng every day. He knew that Li Zixia liked him, but why was Li Zixia speaking to him like this because of a hooligan?

Gu Peng frowned.

…

After Liu Zhao was beaten up seven to eight times, Xue Xi pressed on her and said, “Tomorrow, go apply for a change of dormitory from the form teacher, understand?”

Liu Zhao was in so much pain that she could not get up. Even if she was indignant, she did not dare to retort. She said, “Okay, okay.”

Xue Xi then stood up and casually patted the dust on her palm.

She then shot a glance at Xie Yingying and turned to walk back to the dormitory.

“Sister Xi, wait for me!”

Li Zixia usually could not take a step when she saw Gu Peng, but at this moment, she did not even look at Gu Peng and simply followed Xue Xi.

Gu Peng: “…”

He suddenly felt a sense of danger. His future wife, whom he had watched grow up, was going to be snatched away by a woman?

He frowned and saw Liu Zhao struggling to get up from the ground. She looked fiercely in the direction they had left and turned to leave.

Gu Peng narrowed his eyes and followed.

He asked in concern, “Junior, are you going to the hospital? I’ll send you there.”

Liu Zhao’s eyes turned red when she saw Gu Peng. She nodded and said, “Senior, I won’t blame Li Zixia. Don’t worry.”

During this period of time, Gu Peng had kept in touch with Liu Zhao and coaxed her as she recovered from her leg injury. She did not tell the form teacher.

Hence, Liu Zhao felt that Gu Peng was very protective of the fairer sex.

Didn’t Li Zixia like Gu Peng? If Gu Peng was with her, Li Zixia would definitely be furious.

Isn’t this how all television dramas go? The prince would fall in love with the commoner and break off his engagement with his original noble fiancée. I’m sure someone like Gu Peng will definitely like someone who is weaker like me, right?

At this thought, Liu Zhao pretended to be weak. “I accidentally broke Zixia’s lipstick, so she got angry and pulled Xue Xi to teach me a lesson. Senior, I want to go to the hospital for an examination.”

After having her injuries checked, she would bring the injury report to the police!

Since Xue Xi had dared to hit her, she had to pay the price!

Gu Peng’s eyes darkened again.

As expected, she was going to get the injuries checked. Gu Peng was afraid that this person would call the police or tell the teacher, which would affect Li Zixia negatively. He hurriedly smiled warmly. “How can you go alone? I’ll accompany you.”

Liu Zhao’s eyes lit up and she nodded.

Gu Peng sighed.

Xiao Xia was really too good at causing trouble. Ever since she was young, when had he not helped her deal with any trouble?

Along the way, he kept thinking about how to coax Liu Zhao into not calling the police.

Of course, the injury assessment needed to be done. He still had to show the injury assessment report to Xiao Xia and let her know the consequences of hitting someone. He had to prevent her from being so impulsive next time.

When they arrived at the hospital and Liu Zhao went to get her injuries checked, Gu Peng was still thinking about what to do if the report came out later when he saw Liu Zhao walking out with a bad expression.

Gu Peng paused and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Could it be that her injury was serious? This time, Xiao Xia’s trouble was a little troublesome.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Liu Zhao say with a strange expression, “The doctor said that I’m not injured.”

Gu Peng: “?”

Liu Zhao’s eyes were red as she said timidly, “Senior, is the doctor lying to me? My entire body hurts. I feel that every inch of my skin hurts, but there’s not a single mark on my body. Senior, you saw it with your own eyes. She hit me several times…”

Gu Peng paused. “Wait a moment. I’ll go ask the doctor.”

The hospital he’d brought Liu Zhao to was a hospital that his family often visited. He knew the doctor, so it would be easy for him to do something on the injury report.

Just as he was thinking this, the injury report had already been changed.

He entered the doctor’s office and greeted him. Gu Peng said, “Dr. Liu, you also know that she was beaten up by Xiao Xia? Then give me the real injury report.”

Dr. Liu was stunned when he heard this. He immediately said, “She really isn’t injured. Even the instruments can’t detect it. It can’t be seen with the naked eye.”

Gu Peng was stunned. “How can she not be injured? I saw her being beaten with my own eyes.”

Dr. Liu thought for a moment and said, “Actually, there are certain types of people in this world who know how to hit people. They can make your entire body hurt, but you can’t see a single wound. Of course, it won’t endanger your life.”

Gu Peng: “…”

He widened his eyes.

Hence, Xiao Xia’s classmate was actually not being reckless. Instead, she had already thought of this before she hit him.

Or is this a misunderstanding?

When he walked out of the doctor’s office, he saw Liu Zhao waiting there. Although Liu Zhao was still timid, her eyes were filled with unwillingness. “Senior, they are too much of a bully.”

“Yes,” Gu Peng said. “What’s the name of the person who hit you?”

Liu Zhao’s eyes flickered. “Xue Xi. She is just a hooligan. Ever since she entered the dormitory, she has been very domineering…”

Xue Xi…

Gu Peng remembered this name.

Liu Zhao and Gu Peng left the hospital together while Gu Peng stopped the car by the roadside.

Liu Zhao continued to pretend to be weak. “Senior, don’t worry. I won’t stoop to Zixia’s level. I won’t tell the teacher about this either. I only said that I’d call the police out of anger.”

Gu Peng narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled. “That’s for the best.”

The cab arrived and Gu Peng opened the back door. Just as Liu Zhao was about to get in, Gu Peng suddenly stopped her and smiled. “Liu Zhao, do you know?”

Liu Zhao paused. “What?”

Is Senior going to confess to me?!

Just as this thought appeared in her mind, she saw Gu Peng smile. “I’ve seen too many people like you since I was young. Do you want to woo me? Let me tell you, though, I can see through your thoughts at a glance. Since you won’t call the police, I don’t have to accompany you in your acting anymore!”

After saying this, Gu Peng entered the car.

Bang!

The car door closed and the taxi started. It left with Gu Peng, leaving Liu Zhao standing by the roadside in a daze.

She clenched her fists in anger. Only then did she realize that Gu Peng had never liked her!

…

Xue Xi.

In the taxi, Gu Peng silently recited this name. He suddenly picked up his phone and dialed a number. The call was quickly connected and a loud and clear voice sounded from the other end. “Xiao Peng, what’s wrong?”

Gu Peng said, “Uncle Li, I think it’s not good for Xiao Xia to have a certain friend she has now. Do you want to investigate and manage her?”

Li Zixia’s father said, “What friend? The last time she called, she even said that her dormitory mates are easy to get along with!”

Gu Peng said, “It’s her dormitory mate. She dyed her hair red and even brought her along to hit someone today. That person is a little cautious and did not cause any trouble, but I’m worried that Xiao Xia will not learn well with her in the future.”

Li Zixia’s father hurriedly said, “Alright, I’ll go investigate. If there’s a problem, I’ll tell Xiao Xia when she calls next time.”

Gu Peng heaved a sigh of relief. As rich second-generation heirs, it was easy for them to be led astray. The friends around them were also more complicated and approached them with all kinds of thoughts. Xiao Xia had a simple personality, and that Xue Xi did not seem to be simple. He was really worried about Li Zixia and was afraid that she would be used.

Just as he was about to hang up, Li Zixia’s father suddenly said, “By the way, don’t you and Xiao Xia admire Night Li very much? I have news about her! I also heard some news about her daughter!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Peng’s eyes lit up. “Really? Hurry up and tell me!”
