Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2331 - 2267: Xiao Xin, Watch Out for His Life

Gao Wei's mood has been incredibly foul lately.

The source of his irritation was the discovery that Du Jinruo and Kuang Yunxian had been seeing each other on a daily basis.

Within their social circle, his feelings for Du Jinruo were common knowledge. He had pursued her since they were children, never wavering in his devotion despite her coldness toward him.

Because no one wanted to provoke Gao Wei's wrath, any potential suitors for Du Jinruo eventually backed away, unwilling to become his romantic rival.

It could be said that Du Jinruo remaining unmarried until now was largely due to Gao Wei's interference.

After all, this circle is quite small. How many men of an appropriate age and status were actually available to her?

As a result, her marriage had been delayed until the present day.

When she and Kuang Yunxian began dating and were spotted together, the news was delivered straight to Gao Wei.

At first, Gao Wei dismissed the idea that Du Jinruo was serious about Kuang Yunxian. He reasoned that the man was several years her senior and that the Kuang Family was currently in ruins.

Kuang Jiamo had been betrayed by that woman Xiao Fang, while Kuang Kanzhi had vanished, becoming the laughingstock of the capital.

While Kuang Huizhi’s branch had some influence, how could they possibly rival the power of the Gao Family?

Furthermore, rumors suggested that Kuang Yunxian had become estranged from Kuang Huizhi to the point of cutting off all contact.

In Gao Wei's eyes, what did Kuang Yunxian actually possess?

He was essentially a nobody—a mere teacher and a lone wolf. Even if he held the titles of professor and calligrapher, what did such minor accomplishments amount to?

He was likely relying on the Du Family's resources, which made him little more than a kept man in Gao Wei's view.

Gao Wei suspected that Du Jinruo was simply using Kuang Yunxian as a temporary pawn to spite him because she couldn't find anyone else at the moment.

Initially, he hadn't taken the threat seriously.

However, the pair had been seen out together for four consecutive days—dining, going to the cinema, and shopping—behaving exactly like a couple in the throes of a serious courtship!

A friend even reported seeing Kuang Yunxian and his "wife" at a shopping mall, where he helped Du Jinruo try on a gold necklace before purchasing it for her.

Could this relationship actually be legitimate?

Gao Wei realized he could no longer remain passive.

He intended to send someone to give Kuang Yunxian a stern warning.

If the man wanted a peaceful life in the capital, he needed to learn his place.

Furthermore, he decided that if the owner of that teahouse didn't show up today, he would simply tear the place apart.

He rounded up a group of his associates, intending to hunt down Kuang Yunxian for a confrontation.

By sheer coincidence, they crossed paths with Kuang Yunxian and Du Jinruo while on their way to the teahouse.

The pair had just exited a taxi. Kuang Yunxian had walked around to open the door for Du Jinruo, but as she stepped out, her heel caught, causing her to stumble. Kuang Yunxian moved quickly to catch her before she fell.

From Gao Wei's perspective, it looked as though they were locked in an intimate embrace.

His temper instantly flared into a rage.

Pointing an accusing finger, he roared at them: "Kuang! Get your hands off her!"

How dare that man touch Xiao Ruo’s waist?

Startled by the shout, Kuang Yunxian turned to see Gao Wei sprinting toward them in a fury.

He shut the taxi door and guided Du Jinruo safely onto the pavement, asking quietly, "Did you hurt your ankle?"

Du Jinruo shook her head, but her expression paled when she saw the group of men following Gao Wei. She urgently whispered to Kuang Yunxian: "You need to run! Those men with Gao Wei have been his personal thugs since they were kids!"

These lackeys were completely loyal to Gao Wei, assisting him in every petty and malicious act he conceived. They were universally loathed, striking wherever Gao Wei commanded.

She knew they wouldn't hesitate to give Kuang Yunxian a brutal beating.
