Chapter 635: Chapter 638: True and False, Abrupt Rise and Fall
Ye Xingbei clung tightly to Gu Junzhu’s neck, burying her cheek in the crook of his neck, unmoving for a long time.
The warm, wet liquid wetted Gu Junzhu’s skin, burning in his heart.
He hugged Ye Xingbei tighter, lowered his head to kiss her hair, and looked at Ye Tao, “Have you a legitimate cause to come up with the idea of a video to threaten Beibei?”
“I was just blabbering!” Ye Tao wept profusely, “Father told me to beg eldest cousin to lift the order, if everyone lost their job because of me, father would throw me out of the house. I was scared, I went to beg eldest cousin, but he didn’t want to see me, I had no choice, so I came up with this way to threaten Ye Xingbei.”
She pleaded sorrowfully, “Second cousin, Beibei, I beg you, have mercy on me. I didn’t mean to harm anyone, I just wanted to help my father get his job back. I don’t have any video, and I never intended to hurt Beibei. Please, forgive me. I just made a small mistake, I shouldn’t be punished so harshly. Please, let me go!”
Ye Tao wailed heart-breakingly.
She felt the world was too unfair.
What did she do wrong?
Did she just show a little temper and scold Ye Xingbei a few times?
How could she be punished so harshly?
Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli were totally inhumane.
Ye Xingbei is a mean person.
If it weren’t for Ye Xingbei, she would still be the Young Lady of Ye family, how could she end up in such a field?
“Don’t harbour any fluke,” Gu Junzhu said lightly, “give me a reason, otherwise…”
He looked at the bodyguard of the Ye Family.
That bodyguard understood, he half-squatted next to Ye Tao, his hand in the blanket spread over Ye Tao.
“Ah… no…” Ye Tao cried out in desperation, struggling fiercely. “I’ll speak… I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything!”
The bodyguard’s hand moved up, gripping her shoulder: “Speak up, don’t torment me. Tell the truth, once you finish, I’ll let you go.”
Ye Tao was fearful and angry, trembling all over, her mind a mess, the secret hidden in her heart could no longer be contained, “I don’t have any video, I really don’t… I accidentally saw the video on cousin Weikang’s phone… One day he got drunk, and while he was sneakily watching it, I discovered…”
Ye Xingbei swung her head around to gaze at her, her eyes wide with disbelief: “There’s a video? There really is a video?”
“There really is a video…” Ye Tao cried herself hoarse: “But I don’t have it! It’s none of my business, let me go, please, let me go, it has nothing to do with me…”
Ye Xingbei was dumbstruck, “There’s a video… there really is a video…”
In just a few tens of seconds, her emotions fluctuated wildly, as if she had ascended from hell to heaven, and then plummeted from heaven to hell again.
She was almost unable to bear it, her emotions nearing collapse.
Her vision faded to black, her body swayed, and she nearly fainted.
“Shush, it’s okay!” Gu Junzhu held her tight, his lips brushing her ear as he assured her in a magnetic and firm voice: “It might not be true, don’t scare yourself. Until we see the video, anything is possible.”
Ye Xingbei clung to him, her entire body trembling violently.
Gu Junzhu continuously kissed her, his lips pressed to her ear, his voice soft: “It’s okay, Ye Xiaobei, don’t be afraid, even if it’s true, there’s nothing to fear. Didn’t you just say it yourself? If you consider yourself as an actress who was acting in a play, it’s not a big deal, I won’t mind, Ye Xingli won’t mind, everyone who cares about you won’t mind, so, you don’t need to mind.”
