Chapter 686: Scared of What?

Tina was shocked by Gu Nianzhi's words. Not only that, but she was also panicked and no longer relaxed as she had been when she was mixing drinks at the bar. She brought a glass of red wine over, and her wrist trembled, splashing the whole thing onto Gu Nianzhi's face. She snapped back coldly, "A smart mouth gets torn apart. Miss Gu sure is a pretty girl. You don't want your pretty face to be cut like the smiling man's, do you?"

"The Smiling Man" was a famous novel by the French writer, Victor Hugo. The main character was an aristocrat abducted and disfigured at a young age, so a smile was cut into his face from ear to ear. He looked like a clown and seemed to be smiling even when he cried. Although Gu Nianzhi never read the novel, she knew it couldn't be a good thing from the title. Also, Tina splashing red wine on her face irritated the swollen areas where Als had beaten her. It burned painfully like it was chili water.
