My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.

Chapter 7 Upside Down

The incident Gu Yao mentioned dates back to when Gu Yao first entered university.

By then, I had already made a great success of the company my father left behind.

This is because it is Gu Yao's first time attending university.

Therefore, Aunt Gu was worried and asked me to personally take Gu Yao to university.

Although Gu Yao was not very willing, she still followed Aunt Gu's wishes and went to university with me.

Zhao Ming and Gu Yao are close friends, and they both got into the same university.

So he squeezed into my car too.

At that time, I didn't have many thoughts about it.

I just treated Zhao Ming like my own younger brother.

But I never expected that Zhao Ming would later treat me like his ATM.

And he used me to help him build the image of a wronged victim in order to gain Gu Yao's sympathy.

After entering university.

Every few days, Zhao Ming would come to me to play the victim, complaining about being poor and saying he had no money for food.

At first, I gave him 3000 yuan a month for living expenses.

Back then, 3000 yuan a month for living expenses was a considerable sum.

But Zhao Ming spent all the money in less than a week.

I questioned him about how he spent the money.

Zhao Ming dared not speak.

I got angry and said I wouldn't give it to him.

Zhao Ming then went to Aunt Gu to plead and beg for mercy.

Then, Aunt Gu called me and spoke up for Zhao Ming.

"Lu Yi, look at Zhao Ming, he's had a tough time too. He lost his parents when he was young and grew up with you. Although you're not brothers, you're closer than brothers!"

“Your company is making so much money now, helping your brother won’t be a big deal. Besides, Zhao Ming just wants money to eat.”

Whenever Aunt Gu speaks, it's always a good opportunity.

I always soften and agree.

Then, I gave the money to Zhao Ming.

In this way, Zhao Ming exploited my weakness and repeatedly asked me for money.

Moreover, the more money they borrowed, the more they intended to repay it.

At its peak, they asked me for 50,000 yuan in a single month!

In the end, I couldn't help but tell Aunt Gu about it.

Aunt Gu also dotes on Zhao Ming a lot.

She said to me, "Lu Yi, if you are having financial difficulties right now, then I will cover Zhao Ming's living expenses."

When I heard Aunt Gu say that, I immediately stopped her.

Aunt Gu's money is her retirement savings, and I don't want Zhao Ming to swindle her retirement money away.

Therefore, in order to find the source of Zhao Ming's extravagant spending,

I personally went to the university where he studied to investigate him.

Finally, I found Zhao Ming in a corner of a bar.

Zhao Ming was drinking, playing cards, and chasing girls with a group of cronies.

When I appeared in front of him.

Zhao Ming was startled and quickly came over to greet him: "Brother Lu, what brings you here?"

I sneered: "Zhao Ming, no wonder 5 yuan a month isn't enough for you. You've spent all your money on things like this!"

Zhao Ming looked unpleasant, perhaps because he felt that my words had embarrassed him in front of his friends.

He said in a low voice, "Brother Lu, let's talk at home. These are all my friends."

But I didn't give him face.

"I give you 5 yuan a month for living expenses so that you can study hard at school, not spend your days partying with these good-for-nothing friends!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ming's cronies all stood up, staring at me with icy eyes.

Zhao Ming's lips twitched, and his expression was extremely unpleasant.

I continued, "Zhao Ming, I will tell Aunt Gu and Gu Yao about your behavior at school, so they can see for themselves what kind of person you really are!"

Zhao Ming begged for forgiveness: "Brother Lu, I was wrong, please don't tell them these things!"

But I refused Zhao Ming's pleas for mercy.

Because I don't want Gu Yao to continue liking this kind of degenerate man.

Moreover, such a man is not worthy of Gu Yao.

But I didn't expect that.

Zhao Ming is ruthless; he actually had his cronies sneak up on me from behind with bottles!

A bottle smashed into my head, causing my head to bleed profusely, and I immediately lost consciousness.

Even after I was knocked unconscious, these people didn't let me go.

They took turns trampling on my body.

Even my phone, wallet, and everything of value were taken by these people.

Of all these people, Zhao Ming was the most ruthless towards me, beating me so badly I almost died.

After Zhao Ming finished venting his anger.

Perhaps he was afraid that I would wake up and expose his crimes.

Therefore, Zhao Ming did something extremely cruel.

He took a fruit knife and plunged it into his body.

One insertion isn't enough.

He stabbed her several times until her body was covered in blood and wounds.

Zhao Ming immediately called Gu Yao and asked her to come and rescue him.

When Gu Yao arrived, she saw Zhao Ming covered in blood and me unconscious.

Gu Yao asked in shock, "Zhao Ming, what happened between you and Lu Yi?"

Zhao Ming demonstrated his acting talent.

He said with a pained expression, "Yaoyao, it's all my fault for not stopping Brother Lu. He got into a fight with the people in the bar and then got beaten up."

Gu Yao was shocked after hearing this, and her eyes were filled with anger and disappointment as she looked at me.

She looked at Zhao Ming with concern.

"Zhao Ming, what about you? How come you're injured too?"

Zhao Ming smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, I'm too weak. I wanted to save Brother Lu, but I was no match for them. They stabbed me many times with fruit knives."

Gu Yao exclaimed in surprise and quickly called an ambulance to take me and Zhao Ming to the hospital.

When I wake up again.

I saw Gu Yao peeling an apple for Zhao Ming.

Aunt Gu looked at me with a reproachful expression.

"Silly child! How did you fall into such a bad state? You know how chaotic bars are. Why did you go to a bar and get into a fight?"

I was completely astonished and bewildered. I had clearly been beaten by Zhao Ming's men.

Just as I was about to explain.

Zhao Ming, who was on the next bed, said, "Aunt Gu! I'm sorry, it's all my fault! If it weren't for me, Brother Lu wouldn't have been injured! If you want to hit or scold me, come at me! This has nothing to do with Brother Lu!"

Aunt Gu sighed and shook her head helplessly: "Sigh! Zhao Ming is still the most sensible one!"

"Lu Yi, although you are older than Gu Yao and Zhao Ming, you are not as mature as them. Sometimes you really need to think things through more carefully and not act impulsively!"

I was completely speechless after Zhao Ming cornered Aunt Gu.

I found out later.

While I was unconscious, Zhao Ming said a lot of distorted and contradictory things.

They completely covered up the truth and didn't even give me a chance to defend myself.

It was after this incident.

My image in Aunt Gu's and Gu Yao's eyes gradually declined.

Memories are blown away by the wind.

I stood in the five-star hotel, gazing bitterly and sadly at Gu Yao.

I asked her, "Did you really want me to have died in that bar?"

Gu Yao spoke angrily, her beautiful eyes flashing.

"Correct!"

My heart felt as if it had been struck hard.
