Stay Home Daddy: I Was Reborn After My Daughter Passed Away-Chapter 54 - Fifty-four wow Gu Chen is getting rich_1

How many slaps am I going to have to suffer?

She covered her face and looked at Lei Bo, “Say something, will you?”

Dong Qingfang’s message was clear, she wanted Lei Bo to give her a way out.

After all, who wants to be a masochist and get hit.

Besides, with so many people watching, for a hundred yuan they could slap Dong Qingfang, what would that make her?

She’d be the laughingstock of all the neighbors.

Lei Bo also hadn’t expected Gu Chen to be able to take out so much money, and he was dumbstruck.

Is this the same Gu Chen who used to steal money from his wife for a mere two hundred yuan?

This is ten thousand yuan! Has the kid risen to great heights or what?

He swallowed hard and glanced at the neighbors on either side.

“You’ve all seen, this couple is clearly bullying others! First, Ji Pianran hits my wife, and now Gu Chen actually wants to beat my wife in front of everyone. If my wife wasn’t so sturdy, her face might be swollen already!”

Gu Chen couldn’t help but laugh. It was they who were demanding money, and now they are the ones claiming they were swollen!

Lei Bo rubbed his arms. Gu Chen had not been gentle when he hit him; nearly half his arm had gone numb.

It still hurt now.

“With your wife’s face, would it make any difference if it’s swollen?”

Someone in the crowd muttered.

Those words set everyone off laughing.

That was a brutal remark, but oh so true!

Even if Dong Qingfang’s face were slapped a couple more times, you couldn’t tell the difference.

Li You’e was embarrassed to laugh; after all, she was an elder and shouldn’t be enjoying the show.

But Ji Pianran couldn’t hold it in and snickered from behind Gu Chen.

Lei Bo and Dong Qingfang’s faces turned from white to red, having thought that Gu Chen was an easy target from whom they could extort money but they didn’t expect him to be so bold now!

As soon as they entered the door, Gu Chen had restrained Lei Bo with just a move.

It looked as if he had trained!

“Pah! Gu, don’t think you’re so great just because you’ve had a bit of training. Do you believe I won’t call the police? Get the both of you arrested! Then let’s see if you dare to mess with me again.”

Dong Qingfang yelled, hands on her hips, and pulled Lei Bo behind her—the man was good for nothing!

If he’s useless in bed at night, that’s one thing, but he’s also useless in broad daylight.

Marrying such a man, Dong Qingfang really had bad luck for eight lifetimes!

“Call the police? Let Lei Bo make the call; ask him if he dares!”

Gu Chen sneered coldly.

Others he might not know about, but Lei Bo had a hold on him.

And even his dad isn’t clean.

In a previous life, when the government allocated various compensations, the father-son duo had embezzled plenty.

Moreover, just two years later, his dad would be arrested.

The wheels are probably already turning now.

Call the police?

Lei Bo would shake at the sound of a siren.

If you’ve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear when someone knocks at your door.

Lei Bo was by no means an innocent man.

The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, but with so many eyes on him, he naturally didn’t dare show his fear.

After much thought, he mustered all his courage and blustered loudly.

“You… what are you talking about! Why wouldn’t I dare? Gu, speak clearly! I, Lei Bo, haven’t stolen anything or robbed anyone, what makes you think I wouldn’t dare to call the police?”

“Then call them, and see whether they arrest me or you, and your father too, for that matter. What goes around comes around. You’d better be careful with all the bad things you’ve done!”

After saying this, Gu Chen had no more interest in arguing with these hooligans, as it was a waste of his saliva.

It was them who had said a hundred yuan per slap, and now they were the ones saying not to hit.

So boring!

He turned his head to look at Ji Pianran behind him and smiled at her with tender affection.

“Wife, I bought you a pair of little leather shoes in town today, you will definitely like them. Tomorrow is New Year’s, let’s go back and try them on!”

Today was supposed to be a happy day, but it was all ruined by these people.

They delayed his wife from trying on shoes!

This surprised everyone even more.

Who said Gu Chen wasn’t good to his wife?

Just now he got into a fight with Lei Bo and his wife over her, and now, what’s this about buying little leather shoes in town?

Leather shoes! They were no small expense!

Is this how you treat a wife badly?

Seeing Gu Chen about to walk away with Ji Pianran, Dong Qingfang became anxious.

He thought he had these two cornered, but now, not only had the duck he thought was cooked flown away, but he also faced the prospect of losing face!

“Lei Bo, you spineless wretch, just call the police already!”

Seeing Gu Chen leaving, Dong Qingfang stomped her feet in frustration.

Ji Pianran now felt a bit embarrassed; she had come to ask for advice on needlework, but before they could talk much, a fight broke out in the host’s house.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was wrong.

“Auntie, I’ll come ask you about the embroidery work another time. I’m sorry for causing a scene today…”

Ji Pianran’s attitude was very sincere, and you could tell she genuinely felt embarrassed.

Li You’e quickly waved it off.

“No worries, no worries. Once I’m done with my work, I’ll come to find you. Embroidery is easy to learn but hard to master. I’ll teach you some tricks then.”

“That would be wonderful. Auntie, do come over more when you have the time.”

Gu Chen chuckled.

“It’s no trouble at all, take care on your way!”

Li You’e felt a weight lift from her chest as she watched Gu Chen leave with Ji Pianran.

She was genuinely worried that Gu Chen, being a young and impetuous man, might cripple Lei Bo, which would mean trouble for her later on.

However, seeing how protective Gu Chen was of his wife, Ji Pianran was likely to live a blessed life in the future.

Unlike Lei Bo, who lazed around all day, not daring to make a peep when his own wife was hit, a complete coward.

“Sis Li, we will be leaving too.”

Lei Bo nodded and was about to leave, pulling Dong Qingfang with him.

But Dong Qingfang shook off his hand and scolded, “Lei Bo, you good-for-nothing, why did I marry such a man? Ji Pianran hit me, and you didn’t do anything?

Spit it out, do you have an eye for that little vixen? If you don’t clear things up today, I won’t let it rest!”

Smack…

Dong Qingfang had barely finished when Lei Bo slapped her across the face.

“Shut up, do you want to get us both killed?!”

Lei Bo was seething with rage, what a mess to deal with first thing in the morning!

He understood Gu Chen’s words.

They were about both him and his father, and about how surely they wouldn’t dare to call the police.

It was clear that Gu Chen must know something about his family; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so bold.

Lei Bo walked home with his hands behind his back, while Dong Qingfang, with her hand covering her face, didn’t even dare weep as she watched his retreating figure.

Lei Bo was clearly troubled, and if she made any more fuss, she was sure to be beaten to death.

And to tell the truth, Lei Bo’s hand was much heavier than Ji Pianran’s.

A man’s strength is indeed different…

“Husband, wait for me!”

Dong Qingfang clambered up from the ground without caring if her clothes were dirty.

If she were any later, she feared Lei Bo might lock her out.

Dong Qingfang’s face, which was symmetrical just moments ago, now swelled up on one side, making her look even rounder…

The onlookers were almost dying of laughter. Lei Bo had caused such a scene, only to sulk back home?
