Chapter 594: Chapter 597: Extend the Battle Line a Bit
Ye Xingbei was puzzled, “Did she really marry Huang Siyuan? She hasn’t even sought revenge against me.”
After Jiang Siyou threatened her, she paid the breach of contract fine at Star Palace and terminated the contract.
She didn’t care about Jiang Siyou’s threat, nor was she interested in how her future would unfold.
Since then, she hadn’t heard any news about Jiang Siyou.
“She indeed married Huang Siyuan,” Gu Junzhu scoffed, “But she’s foolish, and Huang Siyuan isn’t. Did she think she could seek revenge on any tom, dick, or harry, as Gu Junzhu’s woman?”
Ye Xingli frowned and murmured, “Maybe Beibei being sent to the underground brothel is Jiang Siyou’s way of getting back at her! No, we have to act swiftly and kill Huang Siyuan as soon as possible! This social scourge should be eradicated sooner rather than later!”
“Xiao Li is right,” said Ye Xinglan, “In that case, we won’t disturb Beibei’s recovery anymore. We’ll go back immediately, formulate a strategy to condemn Huang Siyuan and send him to hell to seek vengeance for Beibei!”
Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli left, leaving Ye Xingbei daydreaming with a pair of chopsticks in her mouth.
Gu Junzhu tapped her forehead, “What are you thinking about?”
Ye Xingbei snapped out of it, “Nothing much, I just find it amusing how small the world is. The owner of the underground brothel turns out to be Jiang Siyou’s husband.”
“I also found out something that may be related to your father’s death…” Gu Junzhu hadn’t finished his sentence when the door was knocked. Gu Chi then entered.
“Young master, Chi Yu and Chi Zhan are here to see you.” Gu Chi reported respectfully.
“Escort them to the living room, I’ll be right there,” Gu Junzhu smoothed Ye Xingbei’s hair, “I’ll talk to them and be back shortly. You make sure to get Xiao Shumiao to finish eating, the food has been sitting for a while, is it cold yet?”
“It’s not cold, it’s not cold,” Xiao Shumiao shook his little head, “If we linger a bit longer, I can eat more. If I eat slowly, I’ll get hungry again, and then I can eat more!”
“You little foodie!” Gu Junzhu chuckled, pinching his chubby cheek, then turned to Ye Xingbei, “Be careful with them, don’t let them touch your wounds.”
Ye Xingbei suppressed the turmoil in her heart at the mention of her father’s death by Gu Junzhu, and said with a sweet smile, “Got it, you go on, don’t keep the guests waiting.”
Fifth Lord of Gu can sometimes be quite naggy.
But these trivial naggings filled her heart with immense sweetness and warmth.
After reminding the two youngsters not to make a racket, to eat properly, and most importantly to avoid touching Ye Xingbei’s wounds, Gu Junzhu finally left the bedroom.
Downstairs, Chi Yu and Chi Zhan were studying the paintings on the walls, albeit disinterestedly.
Upon hearing footfalls, both men turned towards the staircase.
They both rose to their feet and greeted Gu Junzhu as he descended.
Gu Junzhu sat down opposite them.
After a few casual exchanges, Chi Yu got to the point, “Fifth Brother, Chi Zhan and I are here to ask you for a favor.”
Gu Junzhu smiled, “We are now business partners, it’s about mutual benefit. Helping you is helping myself, please don’t hesitate to ask.”
Chi Yu said, “A few days ago, an old friend of my father’s, aware of Qingqing’s condition, visited my father and Qingqing at home. During their conversation, my father’s friend mentioned a celebrated traditional doctor with the last name Yue.”
“My father’s friend mentioned that a grandchild of a senior official in Beijing, who was in a similar situation to Qingqing – lost and unresponsive following a traumatic event, and was beyond the help of many doctors, was cured by a national-level doctor named Yue Gubo.”
