Chapter 080 【Despicable Man】

At Xia Wei's question, Lin Jiaying's figure flashed through Gu Feng's mind, and he gave a slight nod.

Seeing Gu Feng nod, a flicker of doubt shone in Xia Wei's eyes.

About forty minutes later, Xia Wei and Gu Feng worked together to whip up eight dishes and two soups.

As the saying goes, men and women working together get the job done without tiring.

There was truth to that saying. Left to her own devices, it would have taken Xia Wei at least an hour to finish all the dishes, but Gu Feng's help saved a lot of time. In fact, two of the eight dishes were personally made by Gu Feng, and they looked, smelled, and tasted great.

Although the dishes were plentiful, the appearance of Brother Tiger and the others completely shattered the festive mood.

The dinner concluded under a very strange pall.

In fact, after finishing the meal, Chen Minjun didn't even feel like cutting the cake.

After dinner, both Gu Feng and Xia Wei noticed the awkward atmosphere and soon took their leave. When leaving, Gu Feng seized the moment when Chen Minjun was talking to Xia Wei and gave all the cash he had on him, about seven thousand Hong Kong dollars, to Chen Guisheng.

Gu Feng understood that given Chen Minjun's personality, if she saw him giving money, she definitely wouldn't accept it.

He was well aware of Chen Minjun's proud, independent nature.

Although Brother Tiger had been taken away by Yan Zhengchun, given Yan Zhengchun's methods, it was inevitable that Brother Tiger would end up in prison. However, Gu Feng couldn't rule out that Brother Tiger had other accomplices. If Brother Tiger's other accomplices found out that he went to prison because of Chen Guisheng's family, the Chen family could be targeted.

This was something Gu Feng didn't want to see.

As for those loan sharks coming after Gu Feng, he wasn't worried at all.

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it!

In the pitch-black night sky, twinkling stars hung high, turning the entire sky into an oil painting.

Under the starry sky, Gu Feng and Xia Wei walked along the street near Chen Minjun's home.

Although it was already past nine at night, the street was still bustling with life. The tables outside the restaurants were filled with people. Some of them had taken off their shirts, baring their upper bodies, their faces flushed red as they played a loud finger-guessing drinking game, their shouts were exceptionally clear.

"Xia Wei, where do you live? Let me walk you home," Gu Feng checked his watch and broke the silence between them.

Xia Wei, who had been walking with her head down, looked up, surprised by Gu Feng's words. She smiled slightly, saying, "I can go back by myself. It's getting late. If you go back too late, your girlfriend might get worried."

"It's fine, I'll walk you home anyway," Gu Feng said. Remembering how he had arrived late today and nearly put Xia Wei in that kind of situation, he felt quite guilty and naturally wouldn't let Xia Wei go back alone.

Seeing Gu Feng's determined expression, Xia Wei nodded gently and said, "Alright."

Then, the two hailed a taxi and headed toward Xia Wei's home.

During the journey, Gu Feng discovered through their conversation that Xia Wei was more kind-hearted than he had imagined.

To give the simplest example, as a teacher at Zifeng Middle School, her salary wasn't low. Yet, Xia Wei preferred to donate this money to mainland students in remote mountainous areas who couldn't afford to go to school, rather than using her salary to rent an apartment in a better neighborhood. Instead, she lived in a slum.

This earned Xia Wei even more of Gu Feng's respect.

Xia Wei's home wasn't far from Chen Minjun's; it only took about ten minutes by taxi. The area where they both lived was a slum. Not only were the streets narrow, but the residential buildings were also very old and dilapidated, a world apart from the city center.

Xia Wei lived in an old-style residential compound, similar to the one where Xu Qiang's family lived. The gate at the entrance of the compound was very shabby, with most of the paint peeled off. There was a lot of garbage thrown around near the entrance, giving off a disgusting stench.

"Thank you, Teacher Gu," Xia Wei said with a slight smile as they reached the entrance, stopping in her tracks. "You should hurry back, or your girlfriend might get worried."

Gu Feng smiled and nodded, saying, "Goodbye."

"Goodbye." Watching Gu Feng's broad back, a feeling of loss suddenly welled up in Xia Wei's heart. Then, she gently shook her head, pushed open the gate, and walked in.

In the compound opposite Xia Wei's, only two households had their lights on; the others had turned theirs off early.

For people living in the slums, they worked from dawn to dusk every day just to survive, so staying up late was out of the question. The immense physical exertion during the day left them both physically and mentally exhausted, so they rested early.

Of the two households with lights on, the owner of one was someone both Gu Feng and Xia Wei knew—Hu Hua.

Starting from eight in the evening, Hu Hua had been standing by the window, watching the entrance of Xia Wei's compound.

When he saw Gu Feng escorting Xia Wei to the entrance of the compound, his face darkened, and even the veins on his forehead bulged. Especially when he saw Xia Wei's look of loss as Gu Feng left, he couldn't help but curse, "That shameless couple!"

Hu Hua had fallen in love with Xia Wei from the day he entered Zifeng Middle School. Over the past few years, he had been relentlessly pursuing her but hadn't won her heart.

To be near Xia Wei, he chose to live in the slums rather than spend money to rent a place in a better area.

As Hu Hua watched, the light in Xia Wei's room soon turned on.

Hu Hua withdrew his gaze and glanced at the telescope on the table but didn't pick it up to peep as he usually did.

Ever since moving here, he had almost every night used the telescope to peep into Xia Wei's room. However, Xia Wei was very security-conscious and always drew the curtains before sleeping, leaving him no chance to peep.

Frustrated, Hu Hua tried to install a hidden camera in Xia Wei's room to achieve his peeping goal. To carry out this plan, he even bought a pinhole camera at a high price.

To his dismay, he never got the chance to install the camera. Even on the two occasions he entered Xia Wei's room, he didn't succeed because Xia Wei's room was a single room, and his every move would be noticed by her.

Left with no choice, he persisted in peeping with the telescope every day, though he never saw anything substantial.

Today, he suddenly lost interest in peeping because he was in a bad mood—a very bad mood!

Ever since Gu Feng entered Zifeng Middle School, he had vaguely felt that Gu Feng and Xia Wei had a good relationship, but he never imagined it had reached this level!

This filled him with intense hatred toward Gu Feng!

On the computer in his room, the latest Japanese adult film was playing. On the screen, the female adult film star, dressed in a flight attendant uniform, was being ravaged by the male adult film star. Her face was flushed, her chest heaving, and she let out moan after moan.

Suddenly seeing the scene, Hu Hua's lust flared up!

He quickly turned off the light in the room, took off his underwear, got onto the bed, and straddled a rubber-made "woman."

Then, his eyes fixed on the computer screen, he began thrusting fiercely...

"Yamete..." ("Stop it...")

Under Hu Hua's ravaging, the rubber doll let out one miserable moan after another...
