City: I Started As A Rich Second Generation Villain - Chapter 21 - Lin Tian's Situation

Gu Junqing looked at Lin Qingzhu’s face.

Her delicate, kitten-like face was pitiable, with a fair forehead that was as translucent as crystal, glistening with a few beads of sweat, reminiscent of dewy peach blossoms.

Her porcelain-white cheeks had a faint, healthy pink hue, making even a budding red lotus pale in comparison to her shy, delicate beauty.

Her eyes, still glistening from recent tears, shimmered like the crystal-clear waters of an early spring lake. Her small, enchanting nose, cherry blossom-like lips, and snow-white skin combined to create an exquisite, unparalleled beauty.

At this moment, Gu Junqing felt that the descriptions in books did not exaggerate at all.

Moreover, seeing Lin Qingzhu’s eyes that had just been crying made Gu Junqing’s heart itch. He wanted to make her cry again, just to see that pitiable, endearing look once more.

This sudden thought made Gu Junqing slightly alert. He reminded himself that he was a gentleman, a true gentleman! Unlike the obvious lolicon earlier, he was not!

He had no strange fetishes! Of course, black stockings didn’t count!

Gu Junqing’s inner voice screamed at himself to stay vigilant and not to get carried away. She was only 14 years old!

“Thank you, uncle,” Lin Qingzhu said timidly.

Gu Junqing had been shouting in his mind, and now his expression gradually stiffened.

Pointing to his own face, he asked, “What did you call me? Uncle?” His expression froze, and he couldn’t believe if heard it right.

“Big Brother, those two sisters told me to call you that,” Lin Qingzhu lowered her head again with a bit of grievance, tears welling up in her eyes.

Gu Junqing turned his head and saw Luo Ningyu and Murong Wan laughing so hard they couldn’t stand up straight.

“I’ll deal with you two later,” He said menacingly.

Actually, Luo Ningyu and Murong Wan didn’t mean to play a trick on Gu Junqing; the disbelief on his face just now was too funny. Normally, Gu Junqing was indifferent, ignoring everything, remaining unfazed even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, as if nothing could affect him.

His expression just now was really rare; they hadn’t seen it in all the years they’d known him.

But to be fair, Gu Junqing had indeed been a bit flustered just now. Even someone as experienced as him was genuinely stunned by Lin Qingzhu’s appearance.

Moreover, he was feeling guilty, and being called ‘Uncle’ by Lin Qingzhu added to his discomfort, leading to that expression.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. He didn’t hurt you, did he?” Gu Junqing asked, pretending to be a caring big brother.

“No, Big Brother, I will pay you back the 100,000 yuan,” Lin Qingzhu said nervously, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.

Gu Junqing didn’t say anything; whatever he said now, Lin Qingzhu wouldn’t believe him.

He could only let Luo Ningyu and Murong Wan handle it.

He gave them a look, and they understood.

“It’s alright, this money is nothing to Big Brother. Even toilet paper might be more precious than this 100,000 yuan!” Luo Ningyu stepped forward to comfort Lin Qingzhu.

“Luo Ningyu, if you can’t use a proper metaphor, don’t use one at all.”

“Heh!”

Luo Ningyu made a funny face at him.

Gu Junqing rubbed his forehead, feeling helpless against this mischievous girl.

However, Luo Ningyu’s words eased Lin Qingzhu’s worries, making her smile lightly.

Seeing her smile made Gu Junqing momentarily distracted.

He finally understood what it meant to have a smile that could overthrow cities and a smile that could overthrow nations.

He could only sigh inwardly, thinking, ‘No wonder she’s the heroine with such a strong aura. Even the main male lead, Lin Tian, couldn’t handle it and had to pass the baton to the second male lead, Su Chen.’

If he hadn’t made Su Chen leave early, it would have been Su Chen rescuing her this time.

‘But looking at Su Chen’s poor and shabby appearance, he seems like someone who would only use force or his needles on that greasy middle-aged man.’

‘Unlike me, I can use money to deal with him,’ Gu Junqing thought smugly.

He selectively forgot that just now, he had used force and almost knocked the man straight to the floor, unable to get up.

“But I will still repay Big Brother’s money!” Lin Qingzhu’s small face was full of determination.

Gu Junqing was taken aback for a moment. He could only say that she truly deserved to be the female lead — paying back debts was easy, but returning favors was difficult.

“However, now that I’ve lost my job, it may take a long time for me to repay the money.”

Lin Qingzhu lowered her head again, sounding dejected.

Because of her, this accident had happened and had caused such a big scene. Although the boss gave her a job because she was young, she would definitely be fired after this incident.

“Why did you start working at such a young age? Isn’t there anyone at home?” Murong Wan and Luo Ningyu asked with some concern.

“There’s only my older brother at home, but my grades are good, so I can do odd jobs during breaks to earn some money.” Lin Qingzhu replied responsibly.

“How old is your brother? Why doesn’t he work to support you?” Murong Wan and Luo Ningyu frowned.

“Recently, my brother said his grades were not good, so he needs extra tutoring. I haven’t seen him for several days. He must be working hard to study!”

Lin Qingzhu felt sorry for her brother.

Murong Wan and Luo Ningyu exchanged glances. Which brother would allow his younger sister to work while he focused on studying? Moreover, her sister was so good-looking; wasn’t he worried about her safety?

“What’s your brother’s name?” Murong Wan asked bluntly. Being straightforward by nature, she was a bit angry. This brother was too irresponsible.

“His name is Lin Tian, and he attends Tianlin High School.”

Murong Wan and Luo Ningyu looked at each other in surprise. It turned out to be Lin Tian!

They knew about Lin Tian. Recently, he had not only been late every day but also left early from time to time. How could he be studying? They hadn’t seen him in class for several days.

Murong Wan frowned with disgust. She hated this kind of guy who lacked responsibility the most.

But she was embarrassed to tell Lin Qingzhu directly that her brother wasn’t studying at all but was probably fooling around somewhere, ignoring even his sister.

Gu Junqing watched from the side. These questions were better asked by girls; it seemed more natural. If he asked, he might really seem like a weird uncle trying to kidnap children.

Although he had already understood all this. Everything had been arranged by him long ago.

He had already had people tracking Lin Tian every day, not even letting him off when he slept.

These days, Lin Tian had been going to the casino every day to accumulate money to defeat Gu Junqing.

However, Lin Tian didn’t know that Gu Junqing had already arranged everything. There were people of his everywhere in the casinos, so it was impossible for Lin Tian to win much.

Even if Lin Tian had the Golden Eyes, Gu Junqing had many ways, such as preventing him from gambling, directly calling the police when he gambled, or cheating.

There were many methods, and Lin Tian had been shuttling back and forth between the major casinos these days, but his income was pitifully low.

But he didn’t let others know about this. If they knew, how could the show go on?

Murong Wan and Luo Ningyu felt very sorry for Lin Qingzhu. Originally, her background was a bit pitiful — without parents and with a brother who seemed like a scumbag.
