Petite Mother of Four Big Shots - Chapter 40.3

Chapter 40: Lin Shaosi’s Anger (3)

“Quit fighting.” In the brief moment they had paused, Qian Xian ordered while taking a step back. There was only one chopstick in his hand and he was visibly angry. “You are welcome to hit me again!”

Lin Shaosi only shot him a cold stare, his wrist moved. Seeing the man brandishing the knife, Qian Xian raised his chopstick in a flash, ready to attack.

Having had enough of the ruckus, Gu Yuanyuan took advantage of this brief moment of pause. Ignoring the chill running down her spine, she went on to stand right between the two. Her face was blank, without any signs of anger, or emotion at all. She looked at Qian Xian first: “You, throw it down.”

Qian Xian was fuming with rage but still put the chopsticks down.

“You, put down the knife.” Gu Yuanyuan told Lin Shaosi.

Lin Shaosi did not move. It seemed that if Gu Yuanyuan hadn’t stood in the middle, he would still continue fighting.

“Be a good boy, many people are watching.” Gu Yuanyuan coaxed in a low voice.

Lin Shaosi glanced around: “…”

He held the knife sternly.

“Do you have cash?” Gu Yuanyuan asked again in a low voice.

“It’s in the wallet.” Lin Shaosi whispered back.

Gu Yuanyuan fished out the wallet from his pocket and looked around. Fortunately, the damage was pretty much non-existent with the exception of the chopsticks stuck in the wall, a broken plate, and a mess of tables and chairs.

She counted ten red notes and put them on the table. In the very next second, she grabbed Lin Shaosi and rushed out. The people at the door who were still digesting the scene they had only just witnessed and were caught unawares.

Qian Xian too was taken aback by the suddenness. He glanced at the dumplings on the table that he had yet to finish before dashing after the scampering pair.

Gu Yuanyuan’s first reaction was to grab Lin Shaosi and run, only belatedly noticing the crowd’s reaction. Seeing that, Lin Shaosi directly held her waist and darted to the car in one breath.

Just as he entered the car, he noticed something in the backseat. To their astonishment, Qian Xian was already sitting in the rear seat.

By now, some fans had already recovered and started chasing them. Noticing at the approaching crowd, Lin Shaosi decided to keep mum. As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, he revved forward.

Seeing that they could not catch up with their idol, the crowd flooded the store instead- after all, it was the next best thing.

“Oh my god, there really is no camera, no shooting!”

“That was not a special effect. The real chopsticks hit the wall. What is going on?!”

“They used to say that martial arts can strengthen your body. But when was it capable of leaping onto roofs and vaulting over walls!”

……

“Who is he?” Lin Shaosi asked after ascertaining no one was following them and slowing down a notch. “Who kidnapped you? Him or Lu Wenchen!”

Gu Yuanyuan didn’t expect Sanbo to know about the kidnapper. Thus, she didn’t beat about the bush, and succinctly confessed. “Lu Wenchen, Qian Xian saved me.”

Speaking the name Qian Xian, she subconsciously used an affectionate tone.

Lin Shaosi looked at the guy through the rearview mirror, and suddenly declared: “If I hadn’t been unarmed, you would’ve lost.”

Gu Yuanyuan: “…”

She could feel Sambo’s anger reaching its peak.

“Shaosi.” Gu Yuanyuan immediately grabbed Lin Shaosi’s hand. The latter’s conditioned reflex kicked in, and Gu Yuanyuan’s hand slammed into the chair.

Her wrist that Liu Wenchen had pinched, had by now already swollen. When Qian Xian saw and asked about it in the dumpling shop, he had suggested kneading it to alleviate the pain. But given the situation, she’d been unable to treat it so far.

Gu Yuanyuan closed her eyes and endured the stinging pain. When Lin Shaosi saw her trembling hand, he was a little flustered: “Little girl, you …”

“I’m fine.” Gu Yuanyuan opened her eyes and replied with a bright smile.

Qian Xian groaned again and pouted. “It obviously hurts, why are you enduring it? Your body is different from ordinary people, even a light touch causes pain.”

Lin Shaosi: “What do you mean?”

Gu Yuanyuan: “How do you know?!”

Qian Xian tilted his head, acting cute: “I just took your pulse and felt it.”

Gu Yuanyuan “！！！”

It can all be felt?!

Lin Shaosi looked at Qian Xian and then at Gu Yuanyuan. From their expression, he understood that everything that the backseater said was right. It was no wonder every time this girl was hurt even a little, she would start shedding tears. Many in the production crew had commented over it, and some were not at all nice.

He’d once overheard-

“Although I don’t like Cheng Man’an, Gu Yuanyuan is not so good either … crying at every turn, as if someone owed her.”

“Yes, I used to have a good feeling about her. She is a newcomer, good at acting, but she is simply too melodramatic. It’s disgusting to have red eyes and cry every time you shoot a movie!”

“Me too! Me too! She makes it hard for me to like her. What’s the difference between a white lotus and her who is always interminable wailing?”

“What happened between her and Cheng Man’an is just her story at the end of the day. Who knows what happened in private …”

“In fact, I was very puzzled at the beginning. Why did Director Xu suddenly take a fancy to her and ask her to try out for the female lead, the same with brother Si and Shu Ran. They all liked her … you said …”

Lin Shaosi had been in the industry for years now. He’d heard a lot of gossip about people, himself included. He couldn’t stop these people from forming an opinion, but such words shouldn’t reach Gu Yuanyuan, it would bode no good. As such, he went to the coordinator.

Since then, he never heard such distasteful comments.

……

Little girl, be temperamental, what’s wrong with crying a little?

In the end, it had turned out to be such a reason. He pursed his lips and said nothing. A few seconds later, he suddenly turned, Gu Yuanyuan realised that they were heading back to the hotel they’d just escaped from.

“Little Si, aren’t we going back?” Gu Yuanyuan was at a loss because of Qian Xian’s “revelations”.

He snorted coldly. “Does Lu really think he can be the absolute monarch? Since he had the audacity to kidnap you in broad daylight let’s expose him, let’s see how embarrassed a man can feel.”

“Qian Xian already beat him up, as did I.” Gu Yuanyuan remembered clearly that to vent her anger, it was necessary to increase her delicate quotient. “I got this!”

She took out the check like it were a reward.

Lin Shaosi glanced at her wrist, his eyes cold. He slowly said, “Your beating does not count.”
