No!

"Tang Shuwen, if you hurt Ruying again, I won't forgive you. Her health is already poor; that day she was nearly induced to miscarry by Chen Xierui, and the doctors advised her to have a surgery to remove the fetus. Given how fragile her body is, it cannot bear the strain of pregnancy, yet she refused outright to do so and insisted on giving birth to the child. How can you bear to harm such an infatuated woman" Gu Rui pressed forward relentlessly, his gaze ablaze with anger.

Tang Shuwen remained silent; Ruying's health was indeed poor, but now he harbored a selfish thought—why didn't she terminate her pregnancy That would be better for everyone.

Almost immediately, he felt his thoughts were too cruel.

"Gu Rui, how is she"

"How do you think Unfortunately, she's in the same hospital as you. If you still have a conscience, Tang Shuwen, go to see her."

Gu Rui spoke coldly, "Otherwise… when this matter comes out, it won't look good for anyone."

Tang Shuwen raised his eyes suddenly; his gaze narrowed into a long line filled with derision. "Gu Rui, are you threatening me Do you know who I am Your little tricks are nothing but the tactics of street scoundrels in my eyes—don't embarrass yourself in front of me."

Gu Rui's expression changed slightly; he was well aware of who Tang Shuwen was—the headmaster of Longmen Gate, used to bloodshed and stormy affairs. Who wouldn't be afraid when they heard the name Tang Shuwen

People often said that the eldest son of the Tang family was as refined and gentle as jade, courteous and well-mannered. However, he was notorious for being a smiling tiger; with a flick of his wrist, he could wield a knife, drenched in blood. Who dared to provoke him In the white world, he was known as a noble and elegant young master, while in the black realm, people trembled at his name.

He is self-interested, but it's not a big deal that Tang Shuwen saw through him.

"What's so great about Chen Xueru In what way does she surpass Yuling If it’s for the sake of their child, if you love Yuling, shouldn’t you be even more eager for her child" Gu Rui asked. Tang Shuwen sneered coldly and said, "I see, you are trying to win back Xueru for yourself, not for Yuling."

"What kind of joke is this She’s just a pair of old shoes I threw away; do you think everyone likes picking up trash like you" Gu Rui was momentarily at a loss for words and his expression changed abruptly. Before he even saw Tang Shuwen move, a throwing knife whizzed past his cheek and embedded itself firmly in the wall with its tip still quivering. Tang Shuwen’s face turned grim as if he were a demon.

Gu Rui felt a scorching sensation on his cheek and was shocked to the core. In a daze, he touched his cheek; the heat slowly registered in his nerves, and when he let go to look at his hand, it was covered with blood. The knife had sliced an opening across his cheek as it flew past.

"Tang Shuwen, you... " His left cheek was cut, but not too deep; however, the wound bled profusely. His eyes were blazing with fury as he clutched his face while staring angrily at Tang Shuwen. "I’m going to sue you for this. I’ll have my lawyer send you a letter."

Tang Shuwen narrowed his eyes dangerously and said coldly, "Gu Rui, if I wanted to kill you, it would be as easy as squashing an ant. Keep your mouth clean or next time that knife will go straight into your mouth instead of just grazing your cheek."

His voice was icy and cruel, his expression like ice. With such a bizarre skill, Gu Rui was momentarily stunned. He had connections with several major gangs in A City; he had seen many subordinates protect their bosses but never the other way around. He thought Tang Shuwen merely relied on Longmen Gang and Tang Si for protection and that his reputation was empty. But now Tang Shuwen had shown his true colors—if he had aimed at Gu Rui’s throat, Gu Rui wouldn’t even know how he died.

Was it just because of a few bad words about Chen Xueru that he got this angry

He did not intend to insult Chen Xueru; the remarks were meant to provoke Tang Shuwen and drive a wedge between him and his wife. If Tang Shuwen knew this, why would he still dare to take action

Was he crazy

Tang Shuwen was no ordinary person either; he wasn’t going to let himself be bullied like this.

Does Tang Shuwen not think about the consequences

"Get lost!" Tang Shuwen coldly said. Xue Ruo and Xiao Nian were about to return, and he didn't want them to hear anything they shouldn't. Gu Rui was indeed frightened by Tang Shuwen, and his injury needed treatment.

As soon as the door opened, he ran into Chen Xueru and Xiao Nian returning. Xiao Nian looked blank, while Chen Xueru was slightly surprised to see the wound on his face. Gu Rui sneered and walked past them without a word; his shoulder brushed against Chen Xueru, causing her to stagger back a few steps before regaining her balance.

What happened to Gu Rui

Chen Xueru entered the room, and Tang Shuwen looked at the small knife. She turned her head and saw it too, looking at Tang Shuwen in surprise, then thinking about Gu Rui's injury, she felt a bit uneasy. What did they say that led to physical violence

"Xueru, pull out the dagger," said Tang Shuwen, nodding as she pulled out the flying knife and handed it to him. "When did the hospital start using this kind of thing"

Tang Shuwen smiled faintly. "No matter where you go, you need defensive weapons, and a hospital is no exception."

Chen Xueru chuckled and sat down with Xiao Nian in her arms, giving him some drink. Xiao Nian quietly drank it while Tang Shuwen looked at Chen Xueru and reached out to hold her hand. She smiled back; he remembered Gu Rui mentioning that Yu Ning had come to visit but was turned away, nearly causing a miscarriage.

He smiled again and patted the bed for her to sit down. When she did, Tang Shuwen held her without saying anything. Chen Xueru hugged him worriedly.

"What's wrong Do you have something on your mind"

"It's okay, I just want to hug you," Tang Shuwen said to herself, muttering, "It'll be fine, I'll handle it."

After the New Year, Warmth threw herself into her exams while also participating in unavoidable activities and preparing for revision. Her days were busy and tense.

During exam week, everyone was on edge; she almost stayed up every night studying.

The most unfortunate thing for her was that Ye Feimo actually helped her outline the key points of the exams. At first, Warmth had been skeptical since Ye Feimo didn't study in the performing arts department. But seeing how methodically he outlined the key points made her very surprised. Since Ye Feimo had already organized it, she really couldn’t figure out anything else and followed his outline to review.

The amazing thing was that during the exams, Warmth discovered that all the questions were predicted by Ye Feimo. After finishing the first day of exams, she went to ask him about it, and seeing he could no longer hide it, he confessed that he had hacked into the school system to steal the exam questions.

Warming her face, this was really...

Too obvious cheating.

But if she didn't cheat, she would find it very difficult to pass the exams. She had devoted all of her time to her career and hadn’t prepared much for her studies. In the end, when the exam results came out, Warmth ranked first in the year.

This was even surprising to her mentor.

The box office revenue for "Beauty Topples the City" fell short of Huayan Entertainment's "Un-crowned King" after a month. Both films had strong follow-ups and competed fiercely, but it seemed that in this round of the battle for box office sales, Anning Entertainment would lose to Huayan Entertainment.

At the beginning of February, foreign blockbusters were introduced into China again, splitting up the box office revenue. Regardless whether it was "Beauty Topples the City" or "Un-crowned King," they were overshadowed by these foreign films and couldn't compete further.ccasion, but children are sensitive creatures.
