On the Day of the Grand Wedding, My Wife Was Acting Strange - Chapter 39:

Chapter 39: Gu Beichen Beats Zhang Li, Lin Zhen Appears Like a Demon God

In the casino’s backyard.

Awen brought a chair and a tea table for Zhang Li. At this moment, she was calmly sipping tea while watching the laborers smash the wall.

The wall, built with blue bricks, wasn’t very solid. After a few hits, a large hole appeared, and the bricks were being quickly removed one by one.

Zhang Li gently parted her red lips, taking a graceful sip from the cup, her movements elegant and refined, causing Awen to turn away hurriedly, dazed and distracted.

The boss was just too beautiful. He wondered who would be lucky enough to win her heart.

“Manager!” Xiao Wu ran in from the back door, anxiously shouting, “Young Master Gu is here, making a scene at the front!”

Zhang Li frowned slightly.

Why was he here?

If in the past, she had admired and liked Gu Beichen, now it was just awkward embarrassment.

After all, she had defected to the Lin family’s side and hadn’t even explained herself to the Gu family. Now that Gu Beichen came to confront her, she knew what was coming.

Awen said, “Boss, should we go and have a look?”

“Of course we should… sigh, but I don’t even know what to say.”

Zhang Li was helpless.

If it was a blessing, it wasn’t a curse; if it was a curse, it couldn’t be avoided. No matter how much she tried to avoid it, it would still happen.

Fine, let’s face it then.

Zhang Li stood up and led Awen and Xiao Wu back to the casino.

As soon as they entered, they saw Gu Beichen sitting alone at a gaming table, exuding an aggressive aura, as if looking for trouble.

He was sitting sideways to Zhang Li, his posture upright, his features sharp and handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.

To be honest, Zhang Li found Gu Beichen’s profile quite pleasing to the eye and couldn’t help but compare him to Lin Zhen.

After secretly comparing for a while, she still found Lin Zhen’s roguish charm more attractive.

Especially the feeling when he hugged her, that powerful arm and wicked smile were far more captivating than Gu Beichen’s cold, feminine beauty.

Thinking of Lin Zhen, Zhang Li felt bolder and put aside the awkwardness, stepping in front of Gu Beichen and giving a respectful bow.

“Young Master Gu.”

Gu Beichen fixed his gaze on her, as if trying to see through her soul.

But Zhang Li stood still, letting him stare.

After a while, Gu Beichen couldn’t see anything and coldly said, “Zhang Li, you betrayed the Gu family. What punishment do you deserve?”

Zhang Li had expected this question and had already prepared her answer.

“Young Master Gu, when I was taken by Young Master Lin that day, did the Gu family come to rescue me? Since you didn’t, it shows the Gu family abandoned me. So why shouldn’t I switch allegiances and find a new patron?”

“Do you know the consequences of betraying the Gu family?”

“Young Master Gu, I didn’t betray you. It was the Gu family that abandoned me.”

“Slap!”

“Ah!”

Without warning, Gu Beichen stood up and slapped Zhang Li hard, knocking her to the ground.

Zhang Li covered her face stubbornly, refusing to cry, glaring at him with hatred.

“Boss!” Awen and Xiao Wu rushed over, shielding Zhang Li behind them.

Gu Beichen stood above them, looking down on the three as if they were ants.

“Thunder or rain, it’s all a gift from the heavens! The Gu family took you in and let you manage the casino. You should be ready to sacrifice for the Gu family at any moment! But you dare speak ill of the Gu family? How dare you!”

“Young Master Gu, you are a famous noble of the Great Qian, and yet you hit a woman without shame?” Xiao Wu’s eyes turned red with anger, and Awen was equally furious.

“Young Master Gu, our manager has worked hard for the Gu family for three years, but when she was in trouble, you didn’t even care. Now that things are settled, you come to accuse her? Does the Gu family have no shame at all?”

“Get lost!”

“Bang!” Gu Beichen kicked Awen in the face, blood gushing from his nose.

Zhang Li cried out, “Awen!”

“The Gu family’s affairs are not for you two lowly servants to comment on. Zhang Li, if you dare betray the Gu family, you will face our wrath! You have two choices: become a spy for us and watch Lin Zhen, or kill yourself to atone. Choose!”

Zhang Li, holding the bloodied Awen, sat limp on the ground, staring blankly at the man she once liked.

He wasn’t like this before.

He was gentle and elegant, a noble figure, always the center of attention at the casino, smiling warmly at her.

But today, she saw his true face.

He was a despicable man with no bottom line!

Such a person wasn’t even qualified to oppose Lin Zhen.

He was nothing but a scum who relied on his status to bully the weak!

She must have been blind back then!

“I choose neither! Gu Beichen, you have no right to command me!”

“You really don’t know your place!”

Gu Beichen raised his foot to kick Zhang Li in the face.

If this kick landed, Zhang Li would be disfigured!

At the critical moment, Xiao Wu threw himself in front of Zhang Li.

“Bang!”

“Ah!”

“Xiao Wu!”

“You still dare protect her? I’ll teach you today what happens to those who betray me!”

Gu Beichen was about to start beating Zhang Li.

Xiao Wu and Awen didn’t dare to fight back and could only shield Zhang Li with their bodies.

Gu Beichen, unable to get to Zhang Li, viciously kicked Awen’s neck, knocking him unconscious in a few blows.

This couldn’t go on!

Gu Beichen had lost his mind!

He was venting all the frustration from the past few days on Zhang Li.

Unfortunately, to protect the casino’s secret, Zhang Li had sent all the servants away. If someone were here to help, things wouldn’t have gotten this bad.

In a panic, Xiao Wu pulled Zhang Li to escape, but Gu Beichen chased after them, kicking him to the ground.

“Still trying to run!”

“Bang!”

Xiao Wu and Zhang Li fell together at the entrance.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open!

Lin Zhen appeared with Cao Xiong and hundreds of black-armored soldiers.

To Zhang Li, it was like seeing the most beautiful sight in the world. She finally cried out with tears in her voice, “Young master…”

“Li’er!” Lin Zhen shouted, rushing to help Zhang Li up. “What happened? What’s going on?”

Zhang Li pointed inside, and Lin Zhen saw Gu Beichen standing there with a vicious face.

Awen was unconscious, Xiao Wu’s face was covered in blood, and although Zhang Li had been protected, there were still a few footprints on her body.

It was obvious they were all beaten by Gu Beichen!

“You dare hit my people! I’ll f*cking kill you!” Lin Zhen’s eyes blazed with fury as he drew the long blade from Cao Xiong’s waist and charged at Gu Beichen.

Gu Beichen was terrified, thinking Lin Zhen was going to kill him, and ran around the gaming tables.

“Lin Zhen! What are you doing!”

“If you dare lay a finger on me, the Gu family will never forgive you!”

“Put down the knife, let’s talk!”

Lin Zhen couldn’t catch him, so in a fit of rage, he slashed the gaming table in half with one swing.

“Bang!”

He stood there like a demon god from hell, bathed in flying debris.

Gu Beichen collapsed to the ground, pointing at Lin Zhen, shouting, “Lin Zhen! I’m the young master of the Gu family, the Emperor’s trusted aide! If you dare touch me, aren’t you afraid the Lin family will be destroyed?”

“Destroyed? Hah, today I’ll destroy you first!”
