Chapter 755: Asking for a Beating

The beast finally spoke. He said to the dog, “Don’t you dare let her down. If you dare to seduce another woman after marriage, I’ll make you die a horrible death.”

With that, the beast jumped into his car and turned around elegantly. The car rushed down the mountain like a bolt of lightning.

After Zhuang Long left, Bruce completely threw away his pride and let himself go. He tore off his collar and panted heavily. He looked even more like a dog.

After an unknown period of time, Bruce’s phone rang. The ringtone was not ear-piercing, but a gentle chant. Bruce originally wanted to answer the call, but he felt lonely sitting alone on the mountain peak.

Bruce couldn’t bear to answer the phone. Once he did, the ringing would disappear.

Bruce thought in a daze. How long had it been since he last heard her speak?

He buried his head between his legs and thought crazily about that person’s voice.

Bruce did not pick up the phone, and the person who called was very patient. She kept calling him. Bruce’s phone rang for the sixth time before he finally answered.

Without looking at the phone number, Bruce knew who it was.

Before the caller could speak, Bruce said something.

He said, “It’s right to divorce him. He’s fucking crazy.”

Hearing Bruce’s scolding, Xiao Li did not seem angry. Not only was Xiao Li not angry, she even heaved a sigh of relief.

She was not afraid of Bruce scolding her, but she was afraid that Bruce would not even have the chance to scold her. If he could still pick up the phone and scold her, it meant that he was still alive. Xiao Li had been frowning because she was worried about Bruce, but now, her brows gradually relaxed.

Xiao Li leaned against the office chair and asked Bruce in a caring tone, “What did he do to you to make you so angry?”

Bruce was angry.

“He almost punched me off the cliff!” After shouting, Bruce felt that his cheek was very painful. However, he endured the pain and continued to complain loudly. “You don’t know, but when he punched me, I almost fell off the cliff and half my body was hanging from the cliff. You’re right, he’s a lunatic, a lunatic!”

Hearing Bruce say this about Zhuang Long, Xiao Li was unhappy.

She did not need to think too deeply about it before saying in a firm tone, “You must have done or said something to make him angry.” After she said that, the person on the other end seemed to click his tongue impatiently.

Then, Bruce fell silent.

Clearly, Xiao Li had guessed the situation correctly.

Xiao Li could not help but be curious and asked Bruce, “What did you tell him?”

Bruce said in a low voice, “I said thank him for giving you freedom and letting me meet you.”

Just as he finished speaking, he heard silence on the other end.

“Are you not around? Is the signal bad?” Bruce thought that Xiao Li was not on the phone.

No one spoke on the other end, but a woman’s soft snort could be heard.

Xiao Li thought: The signal here is very good. You’re the one with a bad brain.

“Speak if you’re here!” Bruce was about to lose his patience.

There was no one on the mountain peak, and it was strange. He tightened his clothes, got into the car, and planned to go down the mountain.

At this moment, Xiao Li’s voice finally sounded on the phone. She said, “You deserve a beating.”

Bruce wanted to hit someone too.

…

The next day, Bruce, who was supposed to attend the movie premiere, was absent.

Bruce had long been popular. Now, he was considered a superstar. It was said that there were many troubles when one was popular, but Bruce was an exception. After being in the industry for so many years, Bruce had always been conscientious and never neglected his work. This time, his absence at the premiere made people unable to help but guess the reason behind it.

In order to resolve his fans’ doubts, Bruce specially asked his manager to use his account to release a message. The general idea was to tell his fans that Bruce was unwell and could not attend the event.

Bruce’s image was successfully managed by his smooth manager and his team. He could not attend the premiere because of his health. Not only did he not arouse their disgust, but he also received unanimous understanding from the production team and fans.

The truth was…

Bruce was beaten home and put on ice. When he woke up the next morning, his left cheek was still very swollen. Even Japanese makeup could not save his looks. The only thing that could save him was China’s Meitu Xiuxiu.

But he was going to a premiere, and couldn’t be the man in the photo. Meitu Xiuxiu could not help him.

Bruce had no choice but to miss the premiere.

Contrary to him, Zhuang Long slept until late in the morning. When he woke up, he sat on the bed and rubbed his hair, still looking groggy.

Shaking his head, Zhuang Long scolded softly, “Fallen.” He was scolding himself.

In the past, he was someone who spent all day in the research lab. When did the former little prince of the laboratory become a sleepy person! He felt that he would be crippled sooner or later if this continued. Zhuang Long quickly got up, washed his face and hair, and went downstairs to eat breakfast without drying his hair.

After breakfast, he wandered to the research lab and vowed not to eat until he got simulation uterus number four out.

When he arrived, Ji Yinbing was already there.

“This time, I have a new idea,” Ji Yinbing said to Zhuang Long.

“Tell me about it.”

At work, Zhuang Long was an arrogant person, but he was willing to listen to Ji Yinbing’s opinion.

Ji Yinbing said her opinion. When Zhuang Long heard this, he decided to give it a try. Anyway, Number One, Two, and Three had failed, so he did not mind if Number Four failed again. The two of them worked in the research room for many days. These days, other than eating and catching up on sleep, they barely left the research room.

They placed the fourth mouse into the simulation uterus and observed it for two days. Ji Yinbing did not think that she would succeed this time.

She told Zhuang Long, “It’s my wedding in a few days. I won’t be coming during this time.”

Zhuang Long, who was originally observing the uterus reaction, suddenly narrowed his eyes when he heard this. After a short silence, Zhuang Long asked Ji Yinbing, “Is it June?”

“Yes, it’s June.”

Knowing what Zhuang Long was thinking and feeling that he was probably hopeless, Ji Yinbing patted his shoulder. She did not comfort Zhuang Long and even asked him, “Will you attend her wedding?”

Zhuang Long looked at Ji Yinbing bitterly.

Ji Yinbing saw the accusation in Zhuang Long’s gaze.

She pretended not to see it and quickly walked out of the research lab.

Zhuang Long followed behind. The two of them changed their clothes and left the research building together. As they walked, Ji Yinbing told him something. “The invitation has been sent out. I don’t have many friends, and you know most of them. Yan Nuo has some friends, but they’re all from India. I wonder how many will come.”
