"And then?" "I don't think that's why you came to me."
Eric smiled, "Brother, it seems that you know me well."
Glancing at him, he said, "If it's that simple, you can finish it in a few seconds on the phone. Why do
you come here?"
"Indeed." Eric replied with a smile, "I want you to help my father in secret. After all, I am not qualified to
help him in secret now. After the crisis of the Gu company is over, I want him to take over the Gu
company. You know, I can't stay here."
"Are you trying to pave the way for your father?"
Eric nodded, "Sort of. Although I'm not very smart and I don't have much ability now, I'll help him as
long as I can. If I want him to become stronger, I can't let the Gu company go bankrupt like this."
"It's the first time I've seen the son pave the way for father."
Eric didn't answer with a smile. In fact, his father's ability was not bad, but he had been living a
peaceful life without strife for these years. But now the situation changed, not allowing him to become
stronger and smooth the road ahead. The future of the Gu company would really be very worried.
The two of them were talking about business, while the two of them were talking about what had
happened today.
"Tell me, what did you do at school today? Why made him so angry?" Lily said in a low voice. Her tone
was full of gossip.
"Uh..." Anna was stunned. An unnatural look flashed across her face, but she still told her what had
happened today. "Do you know a remote alley from the teaching building to the library?"
"Yes." Lily nodded. The school's library was quieter than the teaching building, and it was located in a
remote place. There was an old teaching building over there, which had been empty all the time.
"I borrowed a book from the library and was about to go back to the classroom. When I passed that
alley, I saw three boys surrounding a girl." She continued, "What's more, they almost took off the girl's
clothes. It's obvious that the three men wanted to do something bad to her. At that time, I didn't even
think about it. I rushed up directly, gave the three boys a hard lesson, and then saved the girl. But after
all, it's in the campus. It's inevitable to alert the teacher. But guess what?"
Anna was so angry that she wanted to beat them up again.
"Uh..." Lily was stunned and asked subconsciously, "What happened to the result?"
"But that girl was in the same group with those men!" Anna said resentfully, "The four of them told the
teacher that I hit someone. No matter how I tried to defend myself, it was useless. The teachers didn't
believe it. I was going to ask the school to turn off the surveillance video, but it was too remote to install
a monitor there."
"So you have to take the blame for what happened today?" Lily asked.
"Or what?" Anna shrugged her shoulders and said, "There are four of them. I'm alone. Besides, the
three boys were all injured by me. I'm fine. More importantly, the girl testified for them. I can't defend
myself. The teacher and the Dean have asked me to call my parents. I don't want my parent to know
about it, or she will be sad, so… I got a headache and called him."
Anna said in a lower voice deliberately. She pointed at Noble secretly, not daring to let him see what
she was doing.
Lily was amused by her reaction. "No wonder he was so angry today."
"In fact, I don't know why he is so angry. It seems that he is even angrier than my mother." Anna said in
a low voice.
Lily smiled but didn't say anything. She knew why he was angry. If she had known it, she wouldn't have
called him today.
Seeing her smile, Anna was confused. "What are you laughing at?"
Lily shook her head and said, "Nothing."
Anna didn't ask any more questions. Instead, an indignant look appeared on her face. "Why doesn't
that girl love herself so much? She was surrounded by three boys. They were talking and touching, but
she didn't resist at all. This is too ridiculous, isn't it?"
"The great world is full of wonders." Lily could only answer her in this way. But she was also surprised
about it. She didn't expect such a thing to happen in the school.
Generally speaking, the school rules of the middle school were very strict. Those people could ignore
and do these things.
Anna approached the sofa dejectedly. "It's indeed a noble school. Rich people can play whatever they
want. I don't understand what masters and miss think."
"Then don't think about it anymore. Everyone has their own way of living." Said Lily.
"I just think it's disgusting." Anna frowned. "I won't meddle in this kind of situation in the future."
"Mind your own business." It was said by Noble. At this time, he had finished talking with Eric, so he
answered Anna's question.
As soon as she heard his answer, Anna suddenly sat up straight and turned to look at Noble. "You can't
tell my mother what happened today."
"Do you think I won't tell you?" Said Noble, raising his eyebrows.
Hearing this, Anna pouted immediately. "You promised me."
She didn't seem to notice it at all, but everyone else saw it, and it seemed that she was acting like a
spoiled child.
"When did I agree?" Asked Noble, raising his eyebrows.
"Today at school." Anna looked at him and said in a lower and lower voice, "You promised not to tell my
mother. You can't break your promise."
"Come here." Noble waved at Anna. His face was calm, but there was an almost imperceptible smile in
his black eyes.
Anna blinked. She didn't want to go over, but she had to. He had something on her, so she stood up
and walked over slowly.
Anna stood in front of him and looked at him in confusion.
"Sit down." Noble patted the seat beside him.
Uh…
Anna hesitated. She looked at Noble and then looked at the seat beside him. She felt a little
embarrassed to sit so close to him.
He glanced back and forth between the two of them, smiled, stood up and went back to Lily.
Lily turned her head to look at him and said in a low voice, "Have you finished talking with brother?
Then let's go back. I feel like we are not good to stay here."
"Okay." Eric replied softly.
Then the two of them stood up. Eric held Lily's hand with one hand and waved to Noble with the other
hand, indicating that they were leaving.
Taking a look at the two of them, he nodded his head indifferently. Then, he looked back at Anna and
said, "Stretch out your hand."
"What... What are you doing?" Raising her hands, Anna looked at him in confusion, but there was a
trace of timidity in her eyes.
"Stretch it out!" Said Noble in a more serious tone.
Anna didn't dare to neglect or resist. She reached out her hand immediately.
Slap!
However, before she could react, a slap from Noble hit her palm.
Anna was stunned. She looked at him blankly. She didn't understand why he slapped her so hard that
her palm was red.
Somehow, she wanted to cry. She had never been beaten like this before.
Seeing her like this, Noble's heart was softened, but her tone did not change at all. "Don't be so
reckless next time?"
"You..." As soon as she finished speaking, she said in a nasal voice. Anna's eyes were filled with tears.
"Why did you hit me?"
"Answer me. Don't be so reckless next time." His heart softened, but he didn't get the answer he
wanted, so he asked again.
"How dare you hit me!" Anna roared back and stared at him with red eyes.
Looking at her red hand, a touch of self blame flashed through his black eyes. It seemed that he had hit
her too hard.
He reached out to hold Anna's hand and gently rubbed it. He sighed slightly. "I just want you to
remember that don't be so righteous every time. Many things are not what you think. What happened
today is just a lesson. No one can testify for you. In the end, you have to bear the blame yourself.
Besides, it's not that you have such good luck every time. The people you meet don't have any skills. In
case you meet someone who is more powerful than you, it's not just carrying a black pot."
"It's none of your business!" Anna was angry. She pulled out her hand and looked at him with red eyes.
"Anna..." "I'm worried about you. I promised you that I wouldn't tell your mother about what happened
today, so I wouldn't tell her. But only this time. If it happens again, I'll ask her to solve it directly, not me
to clean up the mess for you."
With his current identity, he really didn't know how to deal with Anna. Because she didn't listen to him at
all. He slapped her just because he was angry, but she questioned him like that.
It was not the right time. If it was, the punishment for her would not be as simple as being a claptrap.
Anna looked at him and stood up. "I want to go home!"
"Let me drive you home." He stood up and followed her.
Anna turned her head and glanced him from the corner of her eyes. Without saying anything, she went
straight out.
