The last time Lu Bancheng had said similar things, Gu Yusheng had turned on him. Therefore, Lu Bancheng jabbed Wu Hao in the back with his finger and whispered, "I've tried to persuade him not to treat her like that, but he just lost his temper."
Wu Hao immediately swallowed his words.
Then they turned their heads and looked at Gu Yusheng.
They had just thought that they would see his angry face, but Gu Yusheng was unexpectedly calm. He remained standing there, staring at his hand, as if he was thinking of something.
Wu Hao and Lu Bancheng found it incredible and looked at each other. But they didn't dare to say anything, for they were just so confused by his actions.
About a minute passed, and Gu Yusheng moved his head and his sights back up. He gazed at the bright sunlight outside the window for a while, then stepped toward the living room wordlessly, sat on the sofa, took out a cigarette, and smoked.
