Xingguang bit her lip, not caring about Xia who was watching the joke with a smirk on the side, and said with a face full of resistance: "Dad, do I look like someone that no one wants?"
"Of course you are not, but do you know who the other party is? I, an old father, risked my reputation to help you get this opportunity. It's just a meeting and a good chat with him for a while. Do you think it's so difficult for you?"
The man said with an unhappy look on his face: "Besides, they are almost here, I can't just call them back, right?"
"Almost there?!"
Xingguang raised her voice and stood up, her pretty face flushed with anger: "Dad, why did you act on your own without asking for my opinion first?!"
"Did you ask for my opinion when you ran away from home?"
The man snorted coldly, then turned around and said to Guo Linglong amiably: "Sorry, young man, I'm a bit busy today. Do you think we can meet again later..."
"No need."
Guo Linglong said calmly: "Since we're just chatting, it's okay for me to stay, right?"
"what?"
Xingguang's father frowned deeply: "Little brother, you are not being reasonable. My child is going on a blind date with a noble from England. It's not good for you to stay here, right?"
"You're right. Logically, I have no reason to stay, but unfortunately..."
Guo Linglong narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the extremely displeased man in front of her. The arrogant and barbaric Xingguang of the past has changed so much, but this snobbish entrepreneur is still the same as before. No matter how polite he is to a poor boy like herself, his capitalist profit-seeking nature has not changed at all.
"Mr. Guo is not a person who likes to reason. Or rather, Mr. Guo only believes in one stubborn principle."
Xingguang's father stood up angrily, and Xia stood up as well. The auras of both sides collided fiercely in the air. Only Xingguang stood aside at a loss, watching Guo Linglong drinking tea calmly, as if she didn't feel anything unusual.
"Sorry, I came in when the door was open."
At this moment, a somewhat low voice sounded, and Guo Linglong subconsciously looked outside the door. No matter who Xingguang's father called, he had the confidence and certainty to persuade him to leave. After all, Xingguang was his friend after all. If his friend was in trouble, he had no reason to sit idly by... Well, it should have been like this.
He looked blankly at the white young man who appeared at the door upon invitation, his thoughts a little confused. The visitor was an ordinary-looking white man. Although Star's father said that he was a nobleman from Britain, he did not see that the white man in front of him was any different from ordinary people, except... that pink dress?
"My name is Gillies Bertha."
Not only Guo Linglong, but everyone present was stunned by the sudden appearance of the young man in the pink dress. They looked at him in confusion as he came to Star Dad and lowered their heads.
"I'm sorry, uncle. Although my sister ordered me to come here, I can't go against my own will. Please forgive me for not being able to be with your daughter. Of course, this is not to say that there is anything wrong with your daughter. It's simply because of my own reasons."
"and many more!"
Xing's father was obviously embarrassed and asked, "Can someone explain to me what's going on?"
"Nothing, it's just that I finally woke up and saw clearly what I really wanted in my heart."
Gillis Bertha, with a calm expression, bowed to each person present and apologized: "I don't know how excessive what I am doing is. As Shakespeare once said, love is pure, and people in love cannot see what stupid things they are doing. So if it has caused any impact on you, I am deeply sorry. That's it."
After saying that, the man turned around and left the chaotic and awkward Xingguang family without looking back.
After being silent for a long time, as if unable to accept this development that went against common sense, Xingguang's father raised his hand tremblingly, pointed at Guo Linglong and said angrily: "It must be because of you! People must have seen a shady person like you with my daughter, so they misunderstood! It's all your fault!"
"Hey!"
Xia slammed the table and stood up, retorting with a look of disgust: "It's so obvious that you don't see it? Your daughter has no man who wants her, but she has a boyfriend."
Seeing the air getting more and more tense, and Xingguang in a dilemma, looking like she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself, Guo Linglong, who had seen enough of the farce, sighed and asked, "Xingguang, you know someone called Hongcha, right?"
"Eh?"
Although he didn't know why Guo Linglong suddenly brought up this, Xingguang nodded subconsciously.
"Very good, write her a text message and tell her that I'll give her ten seconds. If she can't resolve the situation after ten seconds, I'll ask her to translate it..."
What does it mean to regret deeply and not die if you don't commit suicide?
Chapter 71 Love Called Kidnapping
Something is wrong...
The moment Xingguang's father arrived, Guo Linglong realized that something was wrong.
According to Xingguang, she asked the Three Sages to pick this house, and she bought it without telling her father. It was not logical for Xing's father, an ordinary entrepreneur, to come to her house.
But there are too many reasons to explain this sense of incongruity, such as Xingguang accidentally revealing her true identity, or the man being too familiar with his daughter and guessing where she would go after running away from home, so Guo Linglong did not pursue this sense of incongruity.
However... the appearance of Gillis Bertha, the young man in a dress, made him realize where this feeling of incongruity came from.
black tea!
All of this was a trap set by that British magical girl. I guess I must have revealed a flaw when I was fighting the ninjas and using the moves I borrowed from Xingguang.
Xingguang is a magical girl. She had come into contact with this extremely special male witch, but she did not tell the Three Sages about herself. She also suddenly ran away from home and moved to a remote town. Hongcha realized that something was wrong and speculated that her relationship with Xingguang might not be ordinary.
Then, she told Xingguang's father about Xingguang's location with a try-it attitude, and also arranged for Xingguang to go on a blind date with her brother. Her purpose... should be to lure herself out after she had left the orphanage, right?
Tsk...that female fox is really not an easy person to deal with.
Just as Guo Linglong expected, just as Xingguang, confused, edited the text message and sent it to Hongcha according to his instructions, less than five seconds later, a cell phone rang in the pocket of Xing's father, who was furious.
Star's father impatiently took out his phone and wanted to hang up. After all, he was not in the mood to attend social events or work right now. However, after seeing the phone number, he stopped with a look of horror on his face, and then picked up the phone in a hurry.
The distinguished adult's voice came from the other end of the phone, but this time, the adult's voice was no longer as elegant as usual. Instead, it was panicked and said in a vicious tone: "I'll give you ten dollars for a taxi, you stay away from those two people! The faster the better, don't take the stairs if you can jump off the building!"
The call was hung up without any detailed explanation, but the rush was enough to make Star Dad realize the seriousness of the matter. He stared blankly at Guo Linglong who was still calmly drinking tea, and then his expression began to change in a very wonderful way like a chameleon.
He finally understood that this poor boy whom he despised was actually a Tyrannosaurus Rex in human skin! Only in this way could the great man with a smart brain be frightened like this. It was just because he was in the mountains that he could not see how much terrifying power was hidden behind him...
He was scared. Thinking about his previous contempt, rudeness, and anger towards Guo, he was really scared.
He also regretted that if he had cared more about his daughter, respected her opinions more, and given her more advice...all this would not have been so embarrassing.
But now, after being urged by that adult to jump off the building and leave quickly, he could only close his eyes with great regret, turned around and left in extreme embarrassment, and his figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Feel sorry……"
Not knowing what to say, Xingguang could only smile bitterly and shook her head, "I'm sorry to make you laugh. Maybe it's because I was too naughty and troublesome before, so he couldn't let me go and wanted to take care of everything for me."
"nothing."
Guo Linglong said calmly, "And there's nothing funny about it... I've seen many parents who use love that reads as expectation but is actually kidnapping to let their children go their own way. This one is no exception."
"That's right."
Looking at Xingguang who looked a little haggard, Guo Linglong held the teacup, pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Do you mind if I tell you a story? It should be of some help to you now."
"story?"
What kind of story can help Guo Linglong, who is confused by the starlight, now?
"I have a friend who has been obsessed with online literature since elementary school, which led to him neglecting his studies. His parents regarded those online literature as confusing poisons and believed that their child had gone astray. So they not only threw all the 'poisons' into the river and forbade him to read them again, but also beat the child who had wasted his blood with sticks. Unfortunately, they were not wrong. The child was indeed in a state of obsession. Even after his two thumbs were tied up and beaten by his father for a whole night, he still did not give up his almost obsessive love for online literature..."
Xingguang, who was listening attentively, subconsciously asked: "What happened next? What happened next when he continued to indulge in it?"
"Then one day he gave up on enjoying reading."
Guo Linglong shrugged and said, "The more he read, the more critical he became. He could hardly be moved by other people's stories, so he picked up a pen and became an online writer. Although he didn't become a big star, he made a small fortune. He even dared to put a PS4 in his living room."
"His parents do love him. After all, seeing their son, who used to have good grades, neglect his studies because of some extracurricular readings and become a poor student, they naturally think that their son has been harmed by these books and must correct him and turn him into a normal person. They cannot see the potential of their child, and the current poverty makes them dare not gamble on their child's potential... So, do you understand?"
Looking at Xingguang who seemed to understand, Guo Linglong patted her shoulder with a smile and said affirmatively: "Hide that love in your heart, and then boldly go your own way. Your possibilities should not be restricted by 'limited love'. Besides, you are also different from the 'friend' in my story. You and your father can afford to lose. In this case, why not give it a try and go your own way?"
"Really..."
Feeling the warmth of Vinton's palm on her shoulder, Xingguang's heart warmed up and she smiled bitterly, "I just asked you to come and share the joy of moving into a new house, how come it turned out that I need your help?"
"Because you haven't asked me a question from now until now."
Guo Linglong chuckled and replied, "As a veteran magical girl, you must be aware of the recent activities of the witch of Dark Eden, but you never asked me from beginning to end... What happened in Dark Eden?"
"Isn't that natural?"
Xingguang asked doubtfully, "If the people of Dark Eden knew that the information was leaked from you, my benefactor, you would be blamed beyond imagination."
"yes……"
Guo Linglong reached out her hand and ruffled Xingguang's hair, and said cheerfully, "Then isn't it 'natural' to resolve your problem with just a few words?"
Chapter 72: So-called Weakness and Fear
What Xingguang takes for granted is not taken for granted for many people.
The maid's goal is to use the militarized witch group to raid the magical girl headquarters. It can be said that whoever knows the purpose of Dark Eden first will be the hero who saves the Three Sages Alliance, but Xingguang, who is most likely to know this, has no intention of asking herself.
"Even if you ask, I won't tell you so easily..."
Guo Linglong looked at Xingguang, who had resolved her worries, and shook her head, saying, "But after I find out the truth about Silver Future, I can tell you a little bit of the truth. As for now... just give me the spare key to this house."
"Owner!"
Xia, who had been reluctant to interrupt, said hurriedly, "You are not planning to stay at this magical girl's house, are you? If you are worried about having no place to live, I have my own villas in resorts all over the world. It doesn't matter where you want to live!"
"I wanted to ask this before..."
Xingguang gnashed his teeth and pointed at Xia, and asked Guo Linglong: "Benefactor, what is the relationship between you and this witch who smells like gunpowder and gunpowder?"
"Um...well..."
Guo Linglong touched the back of his head awkwardly, not knowing how to answer. Anyone who saw the relationship between him and Xia would not think that admitting that he was actually a victim who acted in "legitimate defense", right?
"Of course it is this relationship."
Xia proudly held Guo Linglong's right hand against her chest, and pressed her entire body against the man, like a couple in love. Although she knew that this would only aggravate her condition, as long as she could see Xingguang's frustrated expression, it would be fine to give Guo a little benefit.
"My benefactor, you'd better not get too close to her."
Xingguang said viciously, "This arrogant, self-centered girl is definitely the kind of villain who will play with other people's feelings at will. Don't be seduced by her extra fat!"
"Just calm down, both of you."
Guo Linglong rolled her eyes, forcing the two people who were staring at each other to look away, then shook her head at Xingguang and said, "After all, I am from Dark Eden, and it is impossible for me to live with you. I am doing my best to take the key and come to your house occasionally to check on the situation. Xia, don't be so jumpy. Be calm and go back to move around freely. I have something important to do."
"Yes Master."
Xia, in a very good mood, obediently let go of Guo Linglong, then faced him and walked out the door. Guo Linglong also stood up, indicating that it was time for her to leave.
Knowing that it was impossible for Guo Linglong to stay, her expression dimmed a little, but she still managed to cheer herself up and said, "My benefactor, the magical girls have been hunting witches everywhere recently, so be careful, especially one called Red Tea. Although you already know her, you may not realize how terrifying she is, so be careful if you meet her. I don't know how many witches have fallen at her hands."
"Well, you should be careful too... By the way, if by any chance you are caught by the witches, just tell me my name. I think there will be a witch willing to give me a favor."
With her back to the starlight, Guo Linglong waved her hand, walked out of the house under the girl's complicated gaze, and quickly disappeared from her sight.
In fact, if possible, Guo Linglong would like to stay for a while longer, at least to teach Xingguang how to safely use dangerous tools such as gas stoves, but he does have something very important to do now.
After leaving Xingguang's house, he did not go back to his home with Xia, but randomly found an empty park, sat down in a pavilion, and then waited quietly... He didn't have to wait long. A girl holding an umbrella on a sunny day came to him with her usual elegance, and bent down with a smile.
"Gui Hello, Mr. Guo, how are you these days?"
"Thanks to you, my rare rest time is ruined."
Guo Linglong looked at the female fox in front of her with disdain: "Give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I can't guarantee what will happen."
"There's nothing I can do about it."
Hongcha said helplessly, "Although it only took me ten minutes to find the orphanage where you were, you seemed to have anticipated this step a long time ago, so you disappeared from the orphanage. I asked someone to get your phone number, but you even destroyed your phone card, and you completely became a missing person. In order to lure you out, I can only resort to this last resort."
"You didn't hesitate to use your own brother, and you also used your colleague Xingguang?"
Guo Linglong said noncommittally: "Just to lure me out?"
"In fact, my decision made my brother realize his true sexual orientation, and also made Xingguang more certain of her desire to live alone. In terms of the results, this is not bad, right?"
Hongcha spun the flower umbrella in her hand and shrugged: "So I don't think I did anything wrong. If I had to say the only thing I did wrong... it's that I didn't expect you to get angry over such a small matter. The threatening text message before really scared me."
"You're the one who scared me."
Guo Linglong stared at Hongcha and spoke word by word, "I destroyed my phone card and disappeared from the city where I lived, just to prevent anyone from knowing the orphanage where I came from. But you still found me. How should I treat you for knowing such top-secret information?"
"Don't worry, I will keep this secret deep in my heart and won't tell anyone."
Hongcha's solemn assurance was met with a cold snort from Guo Linglong: "Why should I trust you, a cunning female fox?"
"Since you possess the flower of evil that controls human nature, then you should believe what I say..."
Hongcha pressed her chest and said with certainty, "Because that's not your weakness at all."
That's right. After visiting the welfare house where Guo Linglong was and learning about some of Guo Linglong's deeds, she was shocked to discover a horrible fact... The welfare house was not Guo's weakness, but his prison! A big prison that locked up most of a man's talents!
She didn't know and didn't dare to think about what would happen if the prison was damaged and the Flower of Evil was released and ran away without restraint. You know, just the small part that was not locked up could crush her, the smartest one in the Three Sages Alliance, and Konoha, the strongest village in the ninja world. If she ruled the world in her complete state...
"So from now on, I will use my own means to erase the existence of the orphanage. No one will find out about the connection between the orphanage and you until I take this secret to my grave."
The magical girl raised her hands and replied as if taking an oath: "And I also think you should believe me. After all... I am so scared."
