Chapter 623: Chapter 626: Ye Xingbei is Threatened
“…Hmm, that’s true.” Ye Xingbei hugged his neck, relaxed her body, and lay on the window sill, allowing the bright sunlight to shine on her face.
She closed her eyes and said with a smile, “They say I’m a dog, but I think even dogs are better than them, right?”
“Right…” Gu Junzhu laughed, fondly ruffling her hair before lifting her up and walking out.
“I can walk on my own,” Ye Xingbei struggled, “What will people think if they see this?”
“And what if they see?” Fifth Lord of Gu became serious, “I’m pampering my wife, it’s my right to carry her, who can interfere?”
Ye Xingbei: “…All right.”
Just as they stepped outside, Ye Tao ran up to them like she had seen her saviors.
Ye Xingbei struggled to get down from Gu Junzhu, her face flushed.
Ye Tao ran to Ye Xingbei, ignoring any facial expression Ye Xingbei might have, and started to sob, begging Ye Xingbei, “Sister Beibei, it was all my fault today. I shouldn’t have taken your room, and I shouldn’t have insulted you. Please, plead for me with eldest cousin brother and ask him to withdraw his order. His punishment is too harsh, I…I…”
Ye Tao sobbed until her eyes were red and swollen, nearly gasping for breath.
Not long after Ye Xinglan’s order was out, her father, uncles, and all her siblings who worked at Ye Group received dismissal notices.
After understanding the situation, her father, uncles, and few cousins scolded her over the phone and asked her to find a way to get Ye Xinglan to retract the order.
If not, her father would disown her and deny her as his daughter.
She was on the verge of crying herself to death.
If it wasn’t for the Gu Family bodyguards stopping her, she would have come begging earlier.
She simply could not bear these consequences.
She only took Ye Xingbei’s room and insulted her a little; how could they punish her in such a horrifying way?
This was all so unfair!
Looking at her, Ye Xingbei frowned and took a few steps back, “We are not friends, I don’t owe you anything, and I don’t have any obligation to plead for you. You should go find Brother Lan, he’s your cousin. You two should settle your own disputes. Besides, the order came from Brother Lan; you know that I don’t hold any status in the Ye Family. Why would Brother Lan listen to me? It’s a waste of time for you to beg me.”
“No…no…” sobbed Ye Tao, shaking her head, “You go beg Brother Lan, he will definitely listen to you.”
She didn’t understand why this was happening, but she saw that the current Ye Xingbei was no longer the one they could bully and laugh at anymore.
If Ye Xingbei pleads with Ye Xinglan, Ye Xinglan would certainly agree.
Ye Xingbei was getting impatient.
She was already injured and was uncomfortable from being pressured onto the cold window sill for so long by Gu Junzhu. Now she was weak and tired, and all she wanted to do was go home, lie down and rest.
She frowned impatiently at Ye Tao: “Ye Tao, stop wasting your time on me. I’m not going to promise you anything… Xueno!”
“Yes, Miss!” Xueno, who was on the side, immediately stepped forward to restrain Ye Tao.
As Ye Xingbei began to walk away, Ye Tao suddenly screamed at her, “Ye Xingbei, I have a very important secret to tell you. You need to listen, or you’ll regret it for sure.”
She forcibly shoved Xueno away, ran to Ye Xingbei, and whispered a few sentences in her ear.
Ye Xingbei’s face instantly turned as white as paper.
Ye Tao caught her arm, dropped her eyelids to hide the malice in her eyes, and whispered in a volume that only they could hear, “You care about the man beside you very much, don’t you? Can you guess what would happen if he found out that you were played with like a dog? Would he still love you? What if the video got out; would you and that brat Ye Yiyang still dare to face other people?”
“Ye Xingbei, you go plead with Ye Xinglan and ask him to retract his order. As long as our family can return to a normal life, I will destroy the video. If not, I will upload the video online and we will go down together!”
She let go of Ye Xingbei and wiped the tears from her face, turning back into the pitiful person she was before, “Sister Beibei, I knows that you were only angry, your heart is kind, and you won’t be able to bear my family becoming jobless. So, I know you will help me, right?”
