Immediately followed by a "crash", then the sound of shattering glass falling to the ground.

  Qin Zhi'ai's footsteps paused for a moment, and in the next second, she quickly darted into the house.

  She saw a middle-aged man holding a golf club and swinging it at Gu Yu Sheng.

  Qin Zhi'ai didn't know that she was so brave, she saw that scene and without thinking, rushed towards Gu Yu Sheng and threw herself on his body to protect him.

  Gu Yu Sheng's body stiffened noticeably, and in the next second, he growled: "Didn't I tell you to get lost? What are you doing coming back? Are you tired of living?"

  He scolded her while pulling her from behind him to his chest, using his back to block the heavy golf club swung down by his father.

  It hit Gu Yusheng's body, but what felt like a heart-wrenching pain was Qin Zhi'ai.

  She wanted to break free from his arms, but he held her tightly by the arm and wouldn't let go.

  He said his dad went crazy and didn't recognize anyone, if you keep messing around, next time it'll be your death!

  He also said, can't you be honest for once and stop moving around!

  He was muttering curses at her through gritted teeth, but his father's frantic and violent actions didn't harm her in the slightest.

  It's probably because of her that he got dragged into this, and couldn't avoid his dad's violence, ending up with a lot of painful bruises.

  She couldn't help but beg her dad, but the more she begged, the crazier he became, and it seemed like there was no end to it. In the end, she could only sob with her mouth closed.

  "Sure enough, just like your mother, at such a young age, you've already hooked up with some cheap guy and brought him home!"

  Throughout the whole process of being scolded by his dad, he didn't react at all. But his dad's words suddenly made him violently retort: "Shut your dirty mouth! Who are you calling a despicable person!"

  His father was yelled at by him and got even angrier, hitting him even harder.

  He was so hard-pressed that it hurt, but he didn't make a sound.

  Until his father was exhausted and left, the whole room finally quieted down.

  Just as she arrived, the clean and tidy room was now messy, as if it had been looted.

  He let her go, didn't say a word, and from the mess, picked up his cigarette case and walked out of the house.

  Qin Zhi'ai had never seen such a scene before, and she was stunned on the spot for a while before regaining her senses. Then, with red eyes, she also went out of the house. She searched for a long time in the courtyard before finding him lying on the grass in the deepest part of the garden, staring at the stars in the sky and smoking.

  He knew she had come, but he didn't raise an eyebrow or move.

  She stood beside him staring at him for a long time before squatting down and softly asking: "Are you okay?"

  She had just asked, and tears fell down, then she saw his skin under the broken clothes that was beaten by his dad, all over were bruises, new, old, newly scabbed, and scars that were fading to almost invisible.
