Chapter 588: Chapter 591: Fifth Lord Gu’s Favoritism
The gates of the Gu family estate remained tightly shut.
Ye Xingli helped Ye Xinglan out of the car.
A moment later, they received their expected response: The masters of the house were already asleep and were not receiving visitors.
This time, before Ye Xingli, Ye Xinglan had knelt down first.
He had arrived with a determination to sink or swim.
No matter what, he had to win Ye Xingbei’s forgiveness and persuade him to accompany him to see their father.
Even if their father could not be saved, he could not let his father pass away with regret.
Ye Xingli knelt beside him, propping up his wobbly body, a look of concern on his face.
Was their elder brother planning to kneel until tomorrow morning?
He would be fine, but could their elder brother’s body bear it?
His heart ached, barely able to bear it: “Brother, you go back first. I will beg Beibei. Beibei will agree to us.”
Ye Xinglan shook his head, “Beibei might, but Fifth Brother won’t. Only by getting enough punishment would Fifth Brother give us the chance to see Beibei. Otherwise, we won’t even get the chance to see Beibei’s face. How can we beg Beibei to come home?”
Ye Xingli knew that what Ye Xinglan was saying was the truth, so he sadly lowered his head.
A moment later, he turned to look at Zhen Qi, “Call Dr. Lee. Tell him to come over quickly.”
His brother refused to take medicine, but there needed to be a doctor on standby.
Otherwise, if their parents were in bed and their brother collapsed too, he would go crazy.
Ye Xingbei opened her eyes in a daze, “Who called?”
“It’s nothing,” kissed Gu Junzhu, “go back to sleep.”
“Oh.” If Fifth Lord Gu said it was nothing, it must be nothing. Ye Xingbei closed her eyes once again, falling deeply asleep.
Gu Junzhu caressed and tenderly patted her as he would a baby, bending down to kiss her forehead.
Once she was sleeping soundly, he got up, quietly drawing back the curtain to look outside.
The night was dark. The gate was too far away. He couldn’t see what was happening outside the gate.
However, he guessed Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli would probably not leave so easily.
As the night grew deeper, even with their young and robust bodies, kneeling through the night would be tough indeed.
He thought for a moment, then sent Gu Chi a message.
After a while, the gate opened slightly. Gu Chi walked out, flashing a brilliant smile at Ye Xingli, “Master Li, our young master invites you inside.”
Ye Xingli frowned, glancing at Ye Xinglan next to him, “My brother, he…”
Gu Chi said, “Our young master only invites you.”
Ye Xinglan patted Ye Xingli’s arm, “If Fifth Brother asks you in, you go in. Don’t worry about me.”
Ye Xingli was hesitant, but then stood up.
Seeing Beibei first was also a good thing.
As long as he could see Beibei, he would plead with her to let his brother in too.
Beibei was soft-hearted; she would definitely agree to him.
With that thought, he felt somewhat relieved, following Gu Chi into the estate.
Entering the lounge, he knew which room was Ye Xingbei’s bedroom and immediately headed towards the stairs to go up.
Gu Chi lagged a step behind, silently apologizing in his heart, then raised his hand and struck the back of his neck.
Ye Xingli’s mind was boggled, he didn’t understand why he would be ambushed on Fifth Brother’s territory.
Before he could figure it out, his vision went black and he passed out.
Gu Chi steadied his collapsing body, murmuring, “Sorry, sorry, I am only acting on orders, our young master has good intentions, good intentions!”
While muttering, he carried Ye Xingli to the guest room.
Fearing that Ye Xingli might wake up, he even used some sedative, holding it over his nose for a moment.
