The lawyer that Gu Qingcheng’s assistant sent over was his friend, and a person who was quite capable. After finding out about the situation, he got his hands on the records from the surveillance camera at the entrance of the district Zhou Yuchen stayed at. He said that Zhou Yuchen was only acting out of self-defense.

  He was even planning to sue everyone who had taken part in beating up Zhou Yuchen. He then wanted to bring Zhou Yuchen to the hospital to do a checkup.

  The lawyer representing Zhou Yuchen was especially straightforward, cutting to the chase. He made it clear that if they were to settle this out of court, these people would have to pay compensation for the emotional damages done to Zhou Yuchen… as well as the serious harm they had brought to Zhou Yuchen in their bullying over the past few years!

  Other than that, Xiao Yuan would also need to give a solemn apology at the school assembly. Only then would they let this matter rest.

  On Xiao Yuan’s side, it was his aunt who had come. When she heard what was said, she shouted at the lawyer. “Haicheng is so big, so why don’t you go and find out who the Xiao family is! That monster beat up our Xiao family’s young master, yet he still wants us to compensate him with money and apologize to him? What wishful thinking is that? It’d be a light punishment to send him to jail!”


  The lawyer only smiled and said that if they wanted to take the matter to court, they could go ahead. If that were to happen, Xiao Yuan would be charged with intentionally inflicting injury and sentenced according to the seriousness of the situation. He had the confidence to have Xiao Yuan put in jail for at least three years.

  This was very serious, especially when the other party was a renowned lawyer. Therefore, Xiao Yuan’s aunt could only call her brother, Xiao Yuan’s father.

  When Xiao Yuan’s father heard that his son had been bullying his other son for so many years, he felt very upset. He had no choice but to make a trip down personally, telling the lawyer that they were brothers connected by blood. He asked for the matter to be resolved outside of court.

  The lawyer had already asked how Zhou Yuchen intended to deal with the matter. Zhou Yuchen said that he would rather blow the matter up than suffer injustice.

  Therefore, the lawyer smiled and shook his head at Xiao Yuan’s father. Left with no choice… Xiao Yuan’s father could only agree to the lawyer’s request.

  When the hospitalized Xiao Yuan woke up, he heard that Zhou Yuchen had gotten a lawyer, wanting to sue him. Furthermore, his father had also agreed for him to apologize to Zhou Yuchen in front of all the teachers and students in school.

  Xiao Yuan gritted his teeth, but his mind was still clear. He wasn’t willing to go to jail over such a grievance.

  Things were resolved smoothly, and Yun Liuli went to fetch Zhou Yuchen that afternoon.

  When Zhou Yuchen came out and saw Yun Liuli, his lips curled up into a smile. He looked very good.

  The lawyer left after handing him to Yun Liuli. Yun Liuli said, “Xiao Yuan will be giving you an apology in front of the whole school after he gets discharged. How do you feel about that?”


  Having been bullied for so many years, Zhou Yuchen felt very happy at the thought of having Xiao Yuan apologize to him.

  The reason he could see all that was thanks to Yun Liuli!

  If Yun Liuli hadn’t extended a hand toward him, then he would… still be that useless and good-for-nothing Zhou Yuchen!

  He would still be the trash who was surrounded and beaten up by Xiao Yuan’s group of friends.

  At the thought of this, Zhou Yuchen felt very warm inside. He reached out his hands and pulled Yun Liuli into his arms.

  Yun Liuli was slightly stunned. She still wasn’t used to being overly close to other people. She was just about to push him away when she heard Zhou Yuchen let out a soft stifled grunt.

  Yun Liuli had found out about the entire series of events that had taken place last night. She knew that Zhou Yuchen had also been beaten up, so she didn’t put up a struggle…


  She heard Zhou Yuchen say solemnly, “Thank you, Liuli! Thank you…”


  Zhou Yuchen’s world now had light and hope, and it was all because of Yun Liuli!

  Everyone was greedy. Zhou Yuchen didn’t wish to let go after grabbing onto it…


  The lawyer saw this scene before he got in his car. He smiled and started the car, giving Gu Qingcheng’s assistant a call to say that the matter had been resolved.

  “The boyfriend of your boss’s daughter is really good-looking! It’s no wonder that she wanted to save him! When I left, I saw the two of them hugging. They looked so good together, like a perfect couple!”


  The assistant was also given a shock. Had Yun Liuli gotten herself a boyfriend?

  “Are you serious? They were hugging…”


  “Why would an adult like me joke with you over this? Are you the childish one, or am I the childish one?”


  The assistant hung up the call and smiled…


  Even if other people didn’t know what feelings Yun Liuli had harbored toward Gu Qingcheng, how could he, as Gu Qingcheng’s assistant, not know?

  Gu Qingcheng had fretted a lot over this matter. He had also gotten a psychologist to take a look at her multiple times.

  Now that Yun Liuli had gotten herself a boyfriend, her life would probably become normal. The assistant couldn’t help but run to Gu Qingcheng’s office, telling him this piece of news.

  After hearing that, Gu Qingcheng was stunned for a moment. He suddenly thought of how Yun Liuli told him to help her vet people when they were in the car. He felt anxious, but he didn’t show it on his face.

  He asked, “You’re saying that after Lawyer Chen brought that guy out, Liuli and the guy were hugging each other?”


  The assistant nodded. “So, he should be her boyfriend!”


  In order to curry favor, the assistant even took out the information he had found out about Zhou Yuchen, placing it before Gu Qingcheng. “This is the information about Miss Yun’s boyfriend. Please take a look!”


  Gu Qingcheng’s brows furrowed tightly. He picked up the documents and took a glance…


  The person in the photo was an extremely beautiful guy. He had deep features, exotic charm, and the colors of his eyes were different. His fringe looked like it had been attached on, and he was wearing a cold expression while being a little cowardly at the same time.

  Gu Qingcheng’s brows furrowed even more. He felt that the name sounded a little familiar, and it was only then that he recalled that this was the classmate that Yun Liuli had wanted to send to Liu Sheng’s place to learn Muay Thai.

  Yun Liuli had always been an aloof person. When did she start to help other students…


  Back then, a strange feeling rose up in Gu Qingcheng’s heart. However, it was only because Yun Liuli said that she felt like she was looking at her past self when she saw Zhou Yuchen that Gu Qingcheng was willing to suppress that strange feeling and agreed to help.

  Could it be that… Yun Liuli had fallen in love with Zhou Yuchen?

  Given Gu Qingcheng’s understanding of Yun Liuli, she didn’t like others touching her at all.

  Even though Yun Liuli knew Lin Nuan so well, she was still intentionally avoiding physical contact with her, let alone when she was with people of the opposite gender.

  Gu Qingcheng’s heart wrenched up. He browsed through Zhou Yuchen’s information briefly, and his eyes turned cold. This person was an illegitimate child!

  Even though his mother was a supermodel, he was still an illegitimate child!

  How could an illegitimate child be a good match for Yun Liuli?

  Gu Qingcheng almost broke out into a smirk when he read about this person. If this was what Yun Liuli meant by seeing herself in the past, she probably had some misunderstanding about how she had been in the past!

  Yun Liuli had excellent results in her studies, always being first place!

  However, this person’s academic results weren’t stable at all! They fluctuated a lot!

  The more Gu Qingcheng read about Zhou Yuchen, the angrier he felt. The angrier he felt, the more he continued to read on. In this short period of time, he had tugged off his tie and unbuttoned his shirt.

  Gu Qingcheng’s assistant watched on at the side, feeling that Gu Qingcheng must be sharing the same feeling a father had toward his son-in-law. No matter how outstanding Yun Liuli’s boyfriend was, Gu Qingcheng would still feel that the daughter he had brought up for so many years had been wasted on the guy.
