Chapter 217 Theft
Hearing this, Gu Yuan asked with some concern, "Should we wake her up?"
Su Yue quickly waved her hand and said, "No need, let her sleep a little longer. Anyway, we're not in a hurry to leave. We'll go to the Gu family together after she wakes up."
As she spoke, Su Yue skillfully tied her hair into a high ponytail, then turned to Gu Yuan and asked, "How is it? Is it crooked?"
Gu Yuan smiled and nodded, replying, "Yes, very good!" After saying that, he picked up the jade crown from the side and helped Su Yue put it on her head.
Just then, Dali mumbled sleepily, "Ah Yue...why didn't you wake me up? The sun's already up!"
Dali, who had just woken up, was still a little dizzy and even called Su Yue by the wrong name.
Su Yue turned her head and saw Dali's messy, bird's nest-like hair, and almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She gently shook her head and said, "Alright, now that you're awake, get up quickly. I absolutely can't let you drink it again in the future."
Dali slowly climbed off the bed, grabbing his messy hair with his hands.
She swayed over to Su Yue's side, then plopped down on the ground, resting her head on Su Yue's lap, and muttered in a slightly coquettish tone, "Ah Yue~ my head hurts so much!"
Su Yue helplessly reached out and gently stroked Dali's comical messy hair, but her eyes were fixed on Gu, who was standing to the side.
He said, "Yuan, go downstairs and pack your things. We'll go back to the Gu family home later."
Gu Yuan nodded upon hearing this, and without saying anything more, turned around, pushed open the door, and walked out.
With the door closed, only Su Yue and Dali remained in the room.
Su Yue took out some spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and handed it to Dali, saying softly, "Drink this quickly, and your head won't hurt so much after you finish drinking it."
Dali looked at the spiritual spring water, his eyes lit up, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
She added ingratiatingly, "Hehehe, as expected, Yue loves me the most!"
After saying that, she took the bottle, tilted her head back, and gulped it down in one go.
After finishing the drink, I smacked my lips with great satisfaction, feeling as if I was immersed in happiness, and my mood was so good that it felt like bubbles were about to burst out.
As the two were walking down the stairs, they suddenly saw that Gu Yuan was being stopped by three men dressed in fancy clothes who looked respectable.
Seeing this, Su Yue called out somewhat displeasedly, "Yuan Yue, weren't you packing your luggage? What are you doing here!"
Upon hearing Su Yue's call, Gu Yuan quickly turned around, bowed slightly to the three men to express his apology, and then jogged to Su Yue's side.
After standing in front of Su Yue, he lowered his voice and explained, "Young master, those three people were the ones who wanted to buy wine last night. I was stopped by them as soon as I came downstairs."
Su Yuewen thought these people wanted to bully Gu Yuan because he was good-looking, but thankfully they didn't.
However, Su Yue still frowned slightly and asked softly, "Have you seen these people before?"
Gu Yuan shook his head and replied, "Young master, I have no impression of them at all."
Although he left the capital at a young age, he still knew a bit about the scions of the powerful families in the city. But I had never seen these three people before.
Su Yue nodded lightly, saying nonchalantly, "In that case, we don't need to pay them any attention. Let's just go back as soon as possible, lest some people get impatient waiting for us."
As she spoke, she casually waved the exquisite fan in her hand, turned around, and walked towards the shop door.
However, just as Su Yue was about to walk out of the store, the men who had been blocking Gu Yuan looked at each other, their faces full of doubt.
One of them couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Wasn't this person supposed to be from the Gu family? I've never seen him before. The Gu family doesn't seem to have anyone like him!"
Could it be that this person really stole the Gu family's jade pendant and is now openly swindling people here?
Li Haoming's thoughts grew stronger, and his emotions became extremely agitated.
If I can successfully capture this thief and hand him over to the Gu family, then I will undoubtedly have solved a problem for the Gu family!
In this way, the Gu family will definitely owe him a favor.
The thought of the Gu family owing him a favor made Li Haoming unconsciously quicken his pace.
Just then, Su Yue heard an angry shout from behind her: "You little thief, you actually dared to try to escape after stealing the jade pendant!"
Before he could finish speaking, and before Li Haoming had even reached Su Yue's side, he suddenly felt a powerful force coming from the side.
Immediately afterwards, he flew out like a kite with a broken string, and finally crashed heavily into a pillar at the entrance of the shop across the street.
This sudden attack was incredibly powerful, knocking Li Haoming unconscious on the spot.
Zhao Yibin and Wu Ziming, who witnessed this scene, were instantly stunned and completely at a loss for what to do.
After a long while, Zhao Yibin finally managed to calm himself down. With trembling hands, he pointed at Su Yue and stammered, "You...you...you're really bold! Not only did you steal the Gu family's jade pendant, but you also dared to impersonate a member of the Gu family to swindle people. Now you've even attacked someone in broad daylight!"
Do you know who my father is? Today, no matter what, you will not escape!
I'll send someone to inform the Gu family right away that they'll make sure you don't leave alive!
Faced with Zhao Yibin's threats and accusations, Su Yue casually picked at her ear, then glanced at him dismissively and coldly uttered two words: "Noisy."
Dali immediately realized that the two men were up to no good and were looking to cause trouble.
She walked straight over, and instantly kicked out with force. Two muffled thuds rang out, and Zhao Yibin and Wu Ziming were caught off guard and each took a heavy kick, their bodies flying backward involuntarily.
The shopkeeper next door was too busy to notice what was happening.
In a flash, the two men were sent flying, crashing heavily to the opposite side to join Li Haoming, raising a cloud of dust.
The shopkeeper was stunned, his mouth agape for a long time, completely bewildered as to what had happened.
Passersby stopped to watch, their eyes wide with disbelief.
While everyone was still in shock, Su Yue calmly boarded the cart, sat down leisurely, and waved a folding fan in her hand, signaling Gu Yuan to leave.
The wheels rolled on, and the cart slowly made its way along the street toward the inner city.
