The Consequence of Provoking a Crazy Beauty [GL]

Chapter 74

She also had a cold, sneezing all the time. Gu Siyu looked sickly with a mask, constantly coughing, but not many people suspected her. She didn't run around in the city, avoiding people and entering a nearby hair salon. She asked them to cut her hair short.

Tony said she was pretty and always recommended hairstyles, suggesting the latest and trendiest styles. He said she had a face that suited Korean-style haircuts and confidently gestured to compare.

Gu Siyu suspected Tony might be sent by Huo Junxian. When she tried to stand up, Tony pressed her down, saying, "Okay, what kind of hairstyle do you want?"

"Just make it...," Gu Siyu couldn't say the last two words. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Make it look plain. It's better to have bangs covering half of my face."

Tony asked, "Did you break up?"

"Yes, yes, make it look plain," Gu Siyu didn't want to waste time.

Maybe Tony couldn't tell beauty from ugliness. The result wasn't plain but rather "trendy"—a short Japanese-style haircut with fluffy air bangs and slightly curled ends.

"Satisfied?" Tony asked.

In normal circumstances, Gu Siyu would be satisfied, but she looked at the missing person notice and was blocked by the word "trendy." She wore a black short-sleeved top and sports pants, fitting into the overall casual style Tony chose for her. The whole set wasn't cheap, costing her 250. She paid and walked out, feeling like she made a big mistake, swinging her backpack onto her shoulder.

As she walked, she kept thinking about whether to grab a lump of mud from the ground and smear it on her face. Maybe that way, Huo Junxian wouldn't find her.

Walking along, Gu Siyu decided to let it go. She looked at the missing person notice and waited for a bus at the stop. A bodyguard passed by her, and Gu Siyu tried to calm her breathing, suppressing her heartbeat. The prearranged driver came over, opened the car door for her.

The bodyguard didn't notice her.

Gu Siyu quickly named a location, and the driver took her to a place near a school. After paying, the driver asked her to scan his WeChat payment code. Glancing at it, she happened to see the driver's chat group, where her "missing person notice" was being circulated.

Many drivers were reminding each other that if they encountered this person, they should quickly contact the phone number above, as she was rumored to have a knife.

Observing the driver's expression, Gu Siyu asked, "What about this girl..."

"Poor thing, her family has been looking for her all along. I just came from there and even saw her sister. The family looks pretty wealthy, and I guess they're quite anxious. It's easy for a girl to run into trouble outside. By the way, as a girl, you should also be careful..."

Gu Siyu thanked the driver, her voice hoarse to the point that her true emotions were indiscernible.

"Are you going back to school?" the driver asked while handing her the change.

"Oh, yes," Gu Siyu nodded.

At this moment, she slowly remembered that she was only 23 years old. Normally, people at her age would still be in school, working on their graduation projects, preparing for exams, or aiming for a stable government job, talking about how to secure employment early...

Unfortunately, she wasn't.

She was drowning in the sea.

Gu Siyu went to an internet cafe, willing to spend a bit more money. Without presenting her ID, she rented a private room and planned to stay overnight. Unfortunately, she dared not stay in a hotel. Huo Junxian was in real estate; surely, she had collaborations with hotels. Registering at a hotel would make it easy for Huo Junxian to find her.
