Chapter 355 - A Private Meeting With A Man (1/2)

“No.” Gu Shen lowered his head. After guessing who had done it, he felt hatred and disappointment. However, for some reason, after his heart ached for a moment, he could not feel it anymore. All that was left was anger.

Right.

He was so annoyed by Ling Sheng that he wanted her to disappear from his sight.

However, he had his own principles. He would definitely not pay fake commenters to defame her, much less find someone to splash paint on her.

“State the 12th rule of the Gu Family.”

“A wise man should know his own limits. When a gentleman is virtuous, pursuing fame and benefits will only invite trouble.”

“Did you do it?”

“Third Uncle, please punish me.”

Jun Shiyan looked at his nephew, who had been raised by him single-handedly, and whipped his back mercilessly. “Tell me the 16th rule.”

“Your words and actions must be elegant, and you must avoid making a fool of yourself. Your jokes and words mustn’t be inappropriate or evil…”

Xu Xi was at the door. The study door was not closed, so he could clearly hear Gu Shen reciting the family rules loudly amid the sound of the Third Master whipping him. He could not help but feel his heart ache.

After ten lashes, Gu Shen’s head was covered in cold sweat. He gritted his teeth in pain and endured this agony as he looked at the man in front of him. “Thank you for your guidance, Third Uncle.”

“Xu Xi, take him down to apply medicine to his wounds,” Jun Shiyan ordered. When he heard a WeChat notification, his ice-cold eyes melted instantly. They were warm and gentle as his fair fingers started typing.

Gu Shen took a look at his Third Uncle. He did not know what kind of news this was or who could make his angry Third Uncle instantly become gentle.
