The Whole Internet is Waiting for Master Fu to Fall in Love

 Chapter 3: Interest Must Be Collected First

Gu Qingning glanced outside the window and a frosty chill crept into her bloodshot eyes. There was a hint of ruthlessness at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

Seeking revenge was not against her style.

Stepping out of the bathroom, she sensed an unfamiliar presence in the room.

Furrowing her brows, Gu Qingning directed her cold and sharp gaze toward the man sitting on the sofa.

With a refined figure, even in simple black pants and a white shirt, he exuded an air of nobility.

Her gaze moved upward, and his excessively handsome face fell into her dark eyes.

Deep-set brow bones, sharp lines, icy eyes without ripples, and a faint playful arc at the corner of his thin lips.

However.

Why did this face look somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before?

Gu Qingning furrowed her brows in contemplation.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed through her mind. She had seen this face on the computers of those people.

Fu Jia's only son in the capital city—Fu Juncheng.

He was rumored to be extremely difficult to deal with.

She raised her head, and their gazes met in the air.

A profound gleam flickered in the depths of the man's eyes, and his thin lips lightly parted as he spoke with a slightly teasing tone, "Do you plan to keep standing like this?"

Gu Qingning withdrew her gaze and approached him, "Can you lend me a car?"

She asked for a car without any politeness.

Fu Juncheng hooked his lips, lightly tapping his knee with his slender fingers. "Are you sure you want to go back like this?"

Pausing for a moment, he changed the subject, "There are clothes in the bag on the table, and the bottle inside can remove the paint from your body."

Following his gaze, Gu Qingning looked over and saw a white paper bag on the dressing table.

She glanced at it and then shifted her gaze back to him, asking straightforwardly, "Why are you helping me?"

Fu Juncheng leaned back, crossing his long legs, casual and unruly. "Do good deeds and help people to the end."

His reason was too perfunctory, and Gu Qingning couldn't help but want to laugh. She reached out and took the paper bag, turning around and walking back to the bathroom.

"Thank you."

Regardless of the reason, she was penniless and had nothing he could covet.

After closing the bathroom door, Fu Juncheng retracted his gaze. His eyes flickered with a hint of mockery.

Quite daring.

Not long after, Gu Qingning walked out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed.

Sensing that a gaze had been fixed on her all along, she glanced sideways.

"Why are you still here?"

Fu Juncheng raised the corner of his mouth. "This is my place."

Gu Qingning remained silent and walked past him nonchalantly.

Her footsteps were steady, devoid of any restraint.

The girl's figure drew closer, carrying a pleasant scent of shower gel.

Clad in black pants and a green shirt, the clothes appeared slightly loose on her. She casually rolled up the sleeves, exuding a carefree and unrestrained aura.

Unnoticeably, Fu Juncheng averted his gaze, and a hint of darkness flickered in the depths of his eyes.

Separated by a coffee table, Gu Qingning stopped in her tracks, facing him directly.

Her ink-black eyes shone brightly as she spoke, "I..."

As if anticipating her next words, Fu Juncheng interrupted her, "You can borrow the car. Stay here for two days, recuperate from your injuries, and I'll arrange for someone to send you away after two days."

Gu Qingning was taken aback, and her gaze toward him became skeptical.

She didn't believe in such a stroke of luck falling from the sky.

Meeting her guarded gaze, Fu Juncheng's smile deepened.

He stood up, his tall and imposing figure exuding a dominant and chilly aura.

"You need to recover from your injuries before seeking revenge, do you understand, little one?" His voice was low and magnetic, tinged with a playful tone.

After speaking, he took a step forward and walked out.

Little one?

A twitch formed at the corner of Gu Qingning's lips. If it weren't for the fact that he had saved her, she would have punched him a long time ago.

"Bang!"

The door closed, and Gu Qingning withdrew her gaze, lowering her head to examine the bruises and scrapes on her arms.

Although his words were somewhat grating, they held some truth.

Her body was too weak at the moment, and her stamina hadn't fully recovered. She wouldn't last long in a fight.

She turned her gaze to the window, the pitch-black night descending into her bottomless dark eyes, filled with resentment.

She couldn't exact her vengeance for now, but she still had to collect the interest.

...

The Gu residence.

The spacious villa was brightly lit.

"I'm so angry!"

An exasperated voice broke the silence in the living room.

"Those three useless people couldn't even handle a mute girl, and they let her escape. It's infuriating!"

Gu Wanwan looked at the woman flipping through a magazine on the sofa and continued, "Mom, where do you think that wretched girl would go?"

She had thought that this outing would finally rid her of that mute girl once and for all, but unexpected troubles arose.

The woman sitting on the sofa, dressed in designer clothing, glanced disdainfully at the jewelry printed in the magazine and replied, "Let her go wherever she wants. It would be best if she never comes back."

Calming down, Gu Wanwan expressed her concern, "But what if she comes back and complains to Grandfather?"

"That wretched girl may be weak and easy to bully, but even a rabbit will bite when cornered. If she really goes to Grandfather to complain, she'll definitely face a scolding," Gu Wanwan expressed her concerns.

"She's just a mute girl. What do you expect her to do by complaining?" Cheng Yu closed the magazine and sneered. "Besides, even with ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to complain."

It's utterly laughable to think that once Grandfather sends someone to find her, she will be favored.

Hearing this, Gu Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. "Mom, what do you think Grandfather brought Gu Qingning back for after she disappeared for so many years?"

Cheng Yu shook her head. "Nobody knows what's on Grandfather's mind. Don't worry about Gu Qingning's matters. Focus on your studies and make sure you get into A University."

"Naturally, I will definitely get into A University," Gu Wanwan raised her head confidently.

"Oh, and one more thing, Mom. I heard that Third Brother is coming back. Is it true or not?" Gu Wanwan inquired.

A tinge of displeasure flashed across Cheng Yu's face as she replied, "Hmm, your father said he's going back to the First Middle School as a substitute teacher. I suppose he'll be back for about a month."

"A substitute teacher?" Gu Wanwan was surprised and puzzled. "Third Brother was doing well as a professor at A University. Why would he suddenly come back to the First Middle School as a substitute teacher?"

He held the title of the youngest professor in the history of A University, so why did he randomly return to this small place, the First Middle School?

"On the surface, he's coming back as a substitute teacher, but in reality, he's here to scout for talented students at the First Middle School. Don't forget about the quota for recommendation," Cheng Yu reminded her.

Upon hearing the words "recommendation quota," Gu Wanwan's eyes lit up. "If I can secure a recommendation quota, those people at school will surely envy and admire me."

But before she could indulge in her fantasies, Cheng Yu poured cold water on her. "Don't get too excited. Gu Zhao and his two friends never regarded us mother and daughter as family. He won't easily give you the recommendation quota."
