Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 406: The First Time He Relented, for Her

She seemed to be always dreaming, experiencing nightmares. In her dreams, she was continuously trembling, her forehead drenched in cold sweat.

Gu Beicheng didn’t realize that a girl’s endurance was really lower than he had imagined.

He had originally thought that those small scenes were nothing, until he saw with his own eyes how she fainted from fear.

"Was my hit really that heavy?" Gui Lan is still alive, isn’t she? She wasn’t beaten to death, what’s there to be scared of?

Gu Beicheng truly didn’t understand, why did it frighten his little girl so much?

Chi He didn’t know whether he should tell the truth.

Seventh Young Master was extraordinarily intelligent, a formidable figure in the business world, but why was his emotional quotient so low?

Seventh Young Master had been used to a life of risking death at the blade’s edge, but such a life was not something ordinary people could endure.

He knew Seventh Young Master was angry this time, furious that Gui Lan had once whipped Miss Niannian with a lash.

But, to strike such heavy blows in front of Miss Niannian, each whip nearly exposing bone.

For a little girl like Miss Niannian, even a regular man might faint from fright.

Seeing Miss Niannian now, with her continuous nightmares, trembling in her sleep, covered in cold sweat.

Such a sight, truly heartbreaking.

Gu Beicheng didn’t want to see her in such distress; originally, he thought that by avenging her, she would be happy.

He just wanted to make her happy.

At midnight, after everyone had left, only Xia Yinian and Gu Beicheng were left in the room.

Around two o’clock in the morning, Xia Yinian suddenly screamed and bolted upright.

In her dream, Gui Lan was bloodied, crawling on the ground towards her, claiming she was wronged, that she never used the whip on her.

Xia Yinian wanted to explain, but she couldn’t utter a single clarifying word.

Then, suddenly, Gui Lan rose from the ground and lunged at her covered in blood...

"I’m sorry!" Xia Yinian awoke with a start, frightened.

Sitting up, she was still in a daze, her face and body sweating profusely.

"Girl, come to your senses," Gu Beicheng took her hand.

But Xia Yinian, upon seeing him clearly, instinctively tried to pull her hand back.

He noticed this small action and felt a trace of displeasure in his heart.

She was afraid of him!

Xia Yinian took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, finally regaining full consciousness.

"Where is she? Is Gui Lan dead?"

"She’s been handed over to the police." Isn’t this what she wanted? But in the end, handing her over let that woman off easy.

Whoever dares to harm his woman will be shown no mercy, this was the first time he had ever shown leniency, for her sake.

Xia Yinian finally relaxed and looked at him, but suddenly, she didn’t know what to say to him.

She wanted to say, Uncle, can you not resort to violence for revenge in the future?

But she knew, sometimes he was not in control of his actions.

Perhaps it was the environment in which they each grew up, or perhaps, it was the way they were educated that was different.

Yet, she was increasingly discovering that the distance between her and Uncle was very, very far.

Old Master Gu didn’t fancy her and could casually order her to be thrown into the sea to drown.

The child raised by such a father... she didn’t dare to imagine.

For Uncle to not become an utterly unscrupulous man was already quite good.

At least, he wouldn’t actively harm someone, although sometimes, his methods were indeed brutal.

"Go to sleep early." Gu Beicheng lay down beside her, holding her in his arms, "We’ll go home early tomorrow."
