Chapter 727: Not a Single Person is Sincere_1

It was only after devouring four whole bowls of noodles that Guisu finally felt full.

Taking his last bite, he put down his bowl and stood up, ready to leave.

Baili Xia didn’t say anything.

What was one to expect from a proud man like Guisu, especially in such a troubled time?

She wondered where he would go after leaving.

More accurately, where could he go?

After all, he had once harmed her.

Expecting her to care for his future was too much of a demand.

Xiaoxiao, who had just watched Guisu leave without a word, couldn’t help complaining.

“Hey, you, Xiaxia treated you to a meal. The least you could do is say thank you.”

Guisu, who had already turned to leave, hesitated.

Reluctantly, he turned back to look at Baili Xia.

“What do you want me to do?” His right hand was useless now, limiting his capabilities.

But, he still had his left hand.

Baili Xia and Zimo also got up.

Baili Xia looked at him.

After a deep look, Baili Xia left first, leading Zimo and Xiaoxiao.

“Baili Xia, what do you want me to do?” Guisu caught up, his gaze cold as he watched her retreating figure.

Helping him was just a way to use him, right?

Everyone in the world was the same, no one would do good deeds without a reason.

Absolutely no one!

That included Lu Xuening as well as Baili Xia.

Baili Xia stopped, let go of Zimo and Xiaoxiao, and turned back to look at him.

Though his eyes were cold, they were serious.

But they conveyed a contempt and hatred for the world.

Was it because of Lu Xuening that he had such a look in his eyes?

What did Lu Xuening do to hurt him so much?

Her gaze unconsciously fell on the terrifying scar on his right wrist.

Could it be, that this scar, was caused by Lu Xuening?

“Alright, I do need you to do something,” she said.

Guisu snorted coldly.

It wasn’t surprising, but his disdain for the world grew deeper.

Everyone was all the same — greedy, evil, not one of them genuine.

Baili Xia might have known what he was thinking, but she simply watched him, her face also serious.

She quietly said, “I want you to live properly.

In the future, don’t lend yourself to evil deeds, don’t do bad things, and don’t…

give up on yourself.”

“I hope you can manage that.” With these parting words, she led Zimo and Xiaoxiao away once more.

Guisu stood in place, stunned, not yet recovered from her words.

Ahead, the chattering voices of the three girls could be heard.

“Xiaxia, we don’t have enough money for the car fare now.” It was Xiaoxiao’s voice.

Zimo, expressionless as always, said, “You and Xiaxia can take the car, I’ll walk.”

“But you don’t know the way, how will you go?” That was Baili Xia’s voice.

Her voice was light and soft, stirring an inexplicable pang of anguish in Guisu’s heart.

There was a moment of hesitation, and then she gave a sigh.

Her voice was incredibly soft.

If Guisu hadn’t been trained for so many years, he wouldn’t have been able to hear her.

“Never mind, my Uncle still has a card with me…

I didn’t want to use it… I’ll take out ten thousand, let’s consider it our living expenses for now.

We must work hard to earn money.

We need to repay him; no slacking off…”

“Ten thousand, that’s awesome!

We can eat so much meat!” Xiaoxiao was so excited she was about to jump for joy.

“What’s there to be happy about?

The money needs to be paid back.” Zimo was always so serious, “We can’t let Xiaxia owe others.”

“I know, I’ll work harder on my design projects.”

“Good, let’s discuss it in detail when we get back, see if it can be applied to everyday goods…”
