Transmigrated as the fake young master, I'll beat up the scumbags and b*tches-Chapter 283Vol. 1 - - Night talk
After being scared half to death by HuMing, Gu YunQin truly didn’t dare continue driving anymore. Just now, during that drift, she had genuinely felt like the car was about to flip over, her heart practically leaping into her throat.
In the end, the car somehow managed to steady and finally drove off the mountain.
HuMing kept his eyes ahead as the speed gradually dropped.
“If I catch you sneaking out to race with these people again, I’ll make you keep doing these kinds of extreme sports. Over and over.”
Gu YunQin didn’t doubt for a second that he meant every word. If she had to go through something like that again, she really would die!
“Hu… Cousin, can we not tell Grandpa about what happened today? If he finds out, he’ll definitely lock me up!”
That was her biggest fear right now.
Driving underage was already illegal—on top of that, she’d been hanging around a group of guys. If Grandpa found out, she was convinced he’d flay her alive.
“Now you’re scared? What were you thinking earlier?” HuMing slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road, one hand resting on the steering wheel as he turned to her. “YunQin, this is the first and the last time. I hope you remember what you just said.”
He looked ahead and saw Lan Jun walking toward them.
When Lan Jun spotted HuMing and Gu YunQin inside the car, he looked a little surprised—but didn’t ask much.
HuMing handed over the driver’s seat to Lan Jun, and the latter drove them back to the rear gate.
“Take the car. Tonight didn’t happen.”

“Got it.”
Lan Jun agreed and drove away.
HuMing and Gu YunQin re-entered the house through the hidden passage, returning to their rooms as if nothing had happened.
What neither of them expected was—when Gu YunQin opened her door, her father was sitting on her bed.
Gu WeiYi gently pushed up his glasses, eyes calm as he stared at her.
“YunQin, this is the fifth time you’ve snuck out. Care to explain what you’ve been up to?”
That look in his eyes weighed heavily on her.
She was already terrified of her father. Whenever he wore that composed expression, she knew the storm was on the verge of breaking.
With no other choice, she gritted her teeth and confessed everything, already resigning herself to being grounded.
But to her surprise—her father didn’t scold her.
Gu WeiYi rested his chin in his hand, as if thinking something over.
Then suddenly, he looked up and fixed his sharp, hawk-like eyes on his daughter, making her shudder.
“YunQin, HuMing saved your life tonight. That kid from the Shi family isn’t someone to be taken lightly. We don’t fear them, but matters between the younger generation are usually left for you to handle yourselves. That means, if you stir up trouble, you’ll be the one to deal with the fallout. Now tell me—who taught you to drive?”
“…It was Brother ZhaoChuan.”
Left with no other option, she sold out Gu ZhaoChuan. She knew if she lied, her father would find out—and the consequences would be worse.
So she dropped his name, fully confident her father wouldn’t come down hard on Brother ZhaoChuan.
“No more reckless stunts like that. Now go get some rest. You still have school tomorrow.”
He stood and left the room, leaving Gu YunQin sitting on her bed, utterly relieved.
Meanwhile, HuMing had returned to his room and finally had a chance to respond to the message Ye QiuXue had sent him earlier.
He could sense she seemed upset tonight, like she really needed someone to talk to.
But after he replied, she didn’t respond for a long time—maybe she’d already gone to sleep.
HuMing scratched his head, pursed his lips, and lay back on his bed.
But just as he got comfortable, there was a knock at the door.
He opened it—to find Gu WeiYi standing there.
“Uncle? It’s late. What’s going on?”
“Thanks for handling YunQin today,” Gu WeiYi sighed. “That girl’s always been reckless—half the time, she shocks even me. I worry she’ll clash with that Shi boy. He’s a guy, after all, and in many ways has the upper hand.”
Unlike his stern demeanor from earlier, Gu WeiYi now sounded more like a weary parent.
But HuMing shook his head. “Uncle, we’re family. There’s no need to thank me. But honestly… I’d never even heard of that Shi guy before today. He just popped up out of nowhere. And tonight… well, I definitely pissed him off.”
“I heard from YunQin. But you don’t need to worry. You’ve got the Gu family behind you. If the Shi family wants to mess with you, they better think twice. Their house has been in turmoil for years—their foundation is shaky at best. If not for Shi Dan, their current head wouldn’t even be able to hold his position.”
“You mean Shi Dan’s arrogance comes from being heavily favored in his family.”
“You could put it that way,” Gu WeiYi nodded. “The old man in the Shi family dotes on him. So even when he crosses the line, the family will still cover for him.”
HuMing rubbed his chin, lost in thought.
“Shi Dan goes to JingDu III, so you won’t run into him at school. But you’ll cross paths at events eventually. When that time comes, handle it however you want. Don’t overthink it.”
“I understand, Uncle.”
“Get some rest.”
Gu WeiYi gently shut the door behind him and headed back to his own room.
“JingDu III, huh…” HuMing muttered.
…
Shi Dan had definitely not expected to run into someone like that tonight.
First, the guy scared the crap out of him—and then, he actually had the audacity to flip him off!
He’d lived in the capital his whole life and had never been treated like that.
Storming into the main hall, he pushed open the door furiously and stomped toward his room.
As he passed through, a woman in pajamas with a passably pretty face stood up with a fawning smile.
“You’re back, little Shi. I had the kitchen prepare some soup for you. I’ll have a servant bring it out—”
“Soup my ass! I’m pissed off!”
Shi Dan glared at her. But then something crossed his mind, and his expression eased a little.
“Did you do what I asked?”
“I… I talked to her,” the woman said hesitantly, “but she didn’t agree…”
Hearing this, Shi Dan’s softened expression snapped back into fury.
“You can’t even handle one simple thing! Why the hell did my dad marry you?!”
