Chapter 952 — A Bizarre Scene
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The Xiao brothers were dumbstruck, at a complete loss. Just as they were about to go see whether Pi Bo was all right, a woman flung herself down from the red Ferrari that had done the hitting and began cursing at the top of her voice: "Whose doddering old fool is this? Doesn't he watch where he's going? He just comes shooting out like that. Trying to shake me down, are you? Let me tell you, don't you dare think you'll squeeze money out of me. Don't you know who I am? I'm one of the Xiao family, from Yanjing! This Ferrari of mine cost several million, and you've smashed it up!"
The one who had gotten out of the car was none other than Xiao Ji's second wife, Gou Huli! She had taken Xiao Ji's phone call saying they were going to humiliate the Gu Pengzhan family today, and so had rushed back by car from the beauty salon. Eager to see the Gu family's wretched state as soon as possible, she had driven a little too fast.
As it happened, just as she reached the gate of the Gu family villa, a dark figure darted in front of her car. Gou Huli could not brake in time and sent the figure flying. Only after she got out and looked closely did she realize it seemed to be an old man, his face already a mask of blood from the impact, dead or alive unknown.
Gou Huli was accustomed to throwing her weight around. Faced with this, she felt no fear at all. So what if she had killed someone? It had not been deliberate; at worst she would pay out some money.
While Gou Huli stood there in all her arrogance, Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben were all the more dumbfounded. Never in their wildest imaginings had they thought the person who hit Pi Bo would be Gou Huli!
Xiao Ji's fury erupted on the spot. He charged over, swung his arm in a wide arc, and dealt Gou Huli a ringing slap across the face: "You good-for-nothing woman, are you blind?"
The slap left Gou Huli stunned. She stared at Xiao Ji in disbelief, eyes wide: "Husband... why did you hit me..."
"Hit you? Are you fucking blind? How the hell do you drive? Damn you and all your ancestors!" Xiao Ji swung another slap, leaving blood pouring from the corner of Gou Huli's mouth. "Don't you even know who you hit? It was Pi Bo! You bitch!"
"Ah?" At Xiao Ji's words, Gou Huli was dumbfounded as well. What? The person she had hit was Pi Bo?
"Brother, that's enough. Stop hitting sister-in-law for now. Let's see how Pi Bo is first!" Xiao Ben was anxious too, but he could still tell what mattered. At a time like this, what good would beating someone do? Better to look at Pi Bo's injuries first.
"Hmph! I'll settle accounts with you when we get home!" Prodded by Xiao Ben's words, Xiao Ji hurriedly turned and ran toward Pi Bo.
Gou Huli covered her mouth and followed cautiously. Pi Bo now lay motionless on the ground, and the pool of red and white beneath him turned her stomach. But she understood as well that Pi Bo was the pillar of the Xiao family. If he truly died, the Xiao family was finished!
