Chapter 540: Chapter 541: The Handsome Man
“What’s the matter?” Gu Junzhu raised his eyebrows and smiled at him, “Are you afraid I’ll present you with a generous gift too, showing you the two-faced nature of Shi Qianling?”
Ye Xinglan drew his lips into a tight smile, forcing himself to chuckle, “I trust Qianqian, Qianqian isn’t that kind of person.”
“Right,” Gu Junzhu nodded, “Not everyone is as foolish as Shi Qianying, I never did manage to capture any indecent videos of Shi Qianying.”
Ye Xinglan let out a sigh of relief.
Only when he relaxed did he realize that his back was drenched in cold sweat.
He and Shi Qianling were childhood friends; the Shi and Ye families were both renowned and well-matched; he was serious about Shi Qianling.
The two families were already discussing their engagement and if everything went as planned, he and Shi Qianling would be getting engaged on an auspicious day in the near future.
Shi Qianling was the wife he had long decided upon in his heart.
If the person in that video attending the xing·party wasn’t Shi Qianying but Shi Qianling, he would probably go insane from disgust.
Gu Junzhu looked at him with interest as he let out a sigh of relief, then leisurely spoke: “But…”
His heart rate picked up again, his anxious gaze fixed on Gu Junzhu.
Gu Junzhu smiled slightly, then nonchalantly asked: “Ye Xinglan, have you noticed a very handsome bodyguard always at Shi Qianling’s side?”
Ye Xinglan’s eyebrows furrowed: “…Fifth Brother, what exactly are you implying?”
Gu Junzhu looked at Gu Chi.
Gu Chi nodded and tapped on his mobile phone a few times, casting an image of a young man onto the pristine white wall.
The young man was very handsome, about twenty years old, with flawless skin and features; both masculine and feminine, he possessed a beauty beyond gender.
After looking intently at the image of the man on the screen, Ye Xinglan said, “His name is Mue Ting, Qianqian’s personal bodyguard, Fifth Brother, is there a problem with him?”
Gu Junzhu crossed his arms, looked at the beautiful man on the screen, then glanced at Ye Xinglan and smirked: “Ye Xinglan, do you remember Xiang Bingzhi and Luo Fengming?”
Ye Xinglan’s pupils suddenly contracted, his back stiffened, his expression cold, “Fifth Brother, such words shouldn’t be thrown around lightly! Do you have any proof?”
Gu Junzhu laughed lightly, “When I mentioned Xiang Bingzhi and Luo Fengming, I didn’t mean to imply that the relationship between Shi Qianling and Mue Ting is the same. I merely feel that Mue Ting’s beauty is not inferior to Luo Fengming’s, don’t you think?”
Ye Xinglan’s jaw tightened, “Fifth Brother, if you have something to say, say it straight. Beating around the bush isn’t your style.”
“That’s not true,” The Fifth Lord of Gu chuckled in a way that was irritating to the extreme: “My favorite is the game of cat and mouse. A lavish feast is meant to be savored slowly, the best dishes come last. You should understand this.”
Ye Xinglan, irritated in a way he had never been before, suppressed the surging urge in his heart to lose his temper and coldly said: “Fifth Brother, if there’s nothing else, I will go back first.”
Gu Junzhu just chuckled and said nothing, turning to look at Gu Chi.
Gu Chi’s fingers tapped on his mobile phone again, and image after image appeared on the projected screen, showing dozens of conjoined photos of Shi Qianling and Mue Ting.
Gu Junzhu crossed his arms and watched, asking Ye Xinglan: “What do you think? Are there any inconsistencies?”
Ye Xinglan had been watching very carefully, but he hadn’t seen anything amiss.
All the photos were of Shi Qianling and Mue Ting together, but Mue Ting had always respected his role as a bodyguard, standing a few steps behind Shi Qianling, no signs of overstepping boundaries at all.
