Black Lotus - Chap 33
Wen Niannan was frightened by the dark tone of Gu Yansheng, and even more afraid of what he would do to him.
“It…It’s the first time, I won’t do it anymore…I’ll put it in the basement…”
“I think it’s necessary to teach you a serious lesson for you to remember.”
Gu Yansheng glanced at him indifferently. He turned around and left the room for a moment, when he came back he was carrying a baseball bat in his hand.
Wen Niannan looked at the bat in his hand, and as if he had guessed what Gu Yansheng was about to do, in a panic, he ran towards the piano that belonged to his mother.
“What…what are you going to do?” Wen Niannan’s voice was trembling, and his eyes full of pleading.
Gu Yansheng got closer step by step, clenching the baseball bat in his hand, staring at him coldly.
“Please… Yansheng… don’t… I won’t play it again, I won’t touch it anymore, but please don’t destroy it…”
Wen Niannan shook his head desperately, tears streaming down uncontrollably, he didn’t want his mother’s favorite piano to be destroyed because of him.
“Get away from it!” His eyes scolded fiercely.
Wen Niannan stood still in front of the piano protecting it, trembling with fear, refusing to give up.
“Is that so? Very good! Uncle Xu, come here.”
Uncle Xu had already heard all the fuss upstairs, but he didn’t dare to go up to check it, the only thing he did, was going in circles on the first floor.
Hearing Gu Yansheng calling, he climbed the stairs with speed, he was astonished when he saw the bat in his hand, he asked: “Sir, what are you trying to do?”
“Pull him away, restrain him.”
Xu Shu looked at Wen Niannan with some pity in his eyes, he didn’t know what to do or how to do it.
At that moment, Gu Yansheng dragged Wen Niannan throwing him towards him.
“Hold him down.”
After that, he turned in direction of the piano, he stopped, slowly lifting the baseball bat.
“No!”
Wen Niannan suddenly broke free from Uncle Xu’s hold, he fell on his knees, begging he said: “No! Please don’t destroy it. That’s the only thing my mother left behind. It’s the most important thing for me. Please don’t do this to me, please…”
The grip on the bat hardened, Gu Yansheng gave him a somber look, and indifferent words came from his mouth: “I said, I will teach you a deep lesson that you won’t be able to forget.”
Bang! Snapped!
And Gu Yansheng hit the piano, once hit after another, the piano key made a bawling sound, as if it were its last cry.
Wen Niannan fell once again on his knees, he stared blankly at the piano he had been caring for all this time, but it was being ruthlessly destroyed, not only the piano but also his heart on the way.
Looking at the smashed piano on the ground, Wen Niannan’s tears fell silently.
He smashed it for what felt like an endless time when Gu Yansheng stopped,
the baseball bat in his hand was thrown to the ground rolling down to Wen Niannan’s feet.
He fixed his tie, glanced at the person who was kneeling miserable on the ground, lit a cigarette, and started to smoke, he said coldly: “If you dare to play again, I will smash you with it, understood?”
After that, Gu Yansheng walked out of the room, leaving a person who was no more than a lost soul without a chance to do something.
Don’t cry, don’t cry, Wen Niannan just stood up trying to save something from the wreckage. He didn’t come out of his room for the rest of the day.
The next day, the door was still closed.
Uncle Xu was worried about the spouse’s stomach sickness and also worried that he wouldn’t be able to stand up if he didn’t eat or drink something, so he asked Aunt Lan to make some dishes that he knew that Wen Niannan would normally love to eat, he carried them upstairs.
