Chapter 657: Chapter 660: Childish Words are Uninhibited
At first, every time she held Lingyue’s hand, his body would stiffen, and his palm would sweat.
After some time, Lingyue gradually became accustomed to her closeness and no longer resisted her.
She couldn’t help but think, someday when Chi Qing recovers, with such good parents and a good brother, she could gradually forget her pain and return to being a happy little girl, right?
Just as the family reached downstairs, the housekeeper hurriedly entered the living room and announced, “Young master, young madam, an officer named Yu Xingchen has left a Miss Gan Xintong at our doorstep, saying that Miss Gan wants to see the young master.”
“Gan Xintong?” Ye Xingbei looked at Gu Junzhu, puzzled, “The woman that Ye Weikang locked in the basement? What does she want from you?”
Gu Junzhu put Xiao Shumiao down on the floor and asked the housekeeper, “Where is Yu Xingchen?”
The housekeeper answered respectfully, “Officer Yu left after dropping off Miss Gan.”
Gu Junzhu smirked and instructed the housekeeper, “Let her in.”
The housekeeper withdrew to carry out the order.
Shortly, Gan Xintong was ushered into the living room.
She was dressed and refreshed, looking more like Ye Xingbei now.
However, that was only a vague resemblance. Whether it was in terms of temperament or delicate features, she couldn’t compare to Ye Xingbei.
Standing opposite Ye Xingbei, she seemed like a knockoff standing across from an original.
She stood opposite Ye Xingbei, scrutinizing her with a discerning and hostile gaze.
Xiao Shumiao glanced at Gan Xintong, then back at Ye Xingbei, and exclaimed, “Wow, this auntie looks so much like mommy!”
Gan Xintong swept her hair back smugly, “Little kiddo, do you think I look like your mommy too?”
“Yes, yes!” Xiao Shumiao tilted his little head to look at her, “But you’re really ugly, you’re not as pretty as mommy! My mommy is the genuine article, classy and noble, while you’re a knockoff!”
Gan Xintong’s smile froze, “What are you talking about?”
Xiao Shumiao blinked innocently, “I’m not blabbering, I’m serious!”
Gan Xintong glared at him fiercely, “You’re just a brat, what do you know?”
Shaken, Xiao Shumiao took a few steps back.
Lingyue gripped Xiao Shumiao’s hand, stepped in front of him, and coldly said to Gan Xintong, “Auntie, you’ve had plastic surgery, haven’t you? You better be careful not to get upset easily. You could ruin your nose, lose your chin, and from what I’ve heard, your fake breasts could fall… into your stomach.”
“Fake breasts?” Xiao Shumiao stared at Gan Xintong, curiosity flashing in his eyes, “Brother Xiaoyue, what are fake breasts?”
Her gaze happened to catch sight of Qiao Zui in the yard, twirling a string of keys and leisurely looking like he had nowhere to go.
She quickly pulled Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue towards him and called out, “Xiao Qiao, are you busy with something?”
Qiao Zui turned around and looked at her, his smile brighter than the radiant sunshine, “I’m not busy, just wandering around out of boredom. Auntie-in-law, do you need something?”
Ye Xingbei handed Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue to him, “We have a visitor. Xiao Qiao, can you take them to play?”
“No need,” Gan Xintong flicked her hair again and said to Ye Xingbei, “Why don’t you take the children out to play? I have some private words for Fifth Lord of Gu.”
