Chapter 676: Chapter 679: At This Moment, It Comes to An Abrupt End
“But you didn’t suffer, did you?” Jiang Siyou roared: “You were taken in by Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli, and you’ve been leading a life more prestigious than in the Jiang Family. If it wasn’t for me, would you have the chance to be adopted by the Ye Family? How could you have become the star everyone envies? Everything you have today, you owe it all to me. You are ungrateful, never returned my kindness, and even harmed me. You heartless creature, your end won’t be peaceful!”
Ye Xingbei was amused by her absurd logic: “By your rationale, if a protagonist in a martial arts film is pushed off a cliff by the villain but survives and fortuitously obtains a martial secret book, should the protagonist not only refrain from seeking revenge, but also be thankful and repay the villain?”
Gu Junzhu hauled her up, wrapped his arms around her shoulders, drew her into his embrace, and softly stroked her shoulder. He then chuckled indulgently, “That’s enough, I’ve told you before, there’s no point in arguing with a lunatic, you can’t win.”
“You’re right,” Ye Xingbei nodded, “As long as my conscience is clear, let her say whatever she wants.”
Jiang Siyou lay on the ground, crying and laughing, like a lunatic.
She dreamed of getting revenge on Ye Xingbei.
But now, even her dreams were coming to an end.
Wen An handcuffed her and declared her official arrest by the police of Country Y.
Jiang Siyou knew her days of freedom had come to an abrupt end at this moment.
Back then, when she didn’t know she wasn’t Jiang Zhengxing’s biological daughter, she envied her two brothers.
She thought being a son who could inherit was better.
When Ye Xingbei was brought back to the Jiang family and found out she was not a blood relative of the Jiang family, she was scared and thought how wonderful it would be if she were Jiang family’s real daughter.
When she learned that a Jiang family girl was to be married to the Gu family, to become a widow for a dying man, she wracked her brain to send Ye Xingbei in her place.
But when Gu Junzhu stood before her like a deity, she thought how wonderful it would be if she were the one to marry Gu Junzhu.
Forced to marry Huang Siyuan, she had wished that she didn’t have to marry him.
In short, throughout her journey, she had lived in constant disappointment.
Until the moment she was handcuffed, she suddenly realized that all her past disappointments were self-created.
Compared to being handcuffed, locked up, and losing her freedom, her past self had been happy every day.
But she was always too greedy, her desire was never satisfied.
She was once luckier than many others, but she was never genuinely happy.
She closed her eyes, stopped speaking, and with heavy steps, she ascended the stairs, leaving the basement.
Wen An followed her out.
Yu Xingchen walked up to Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, gesturing to Gan Xintong, “What about her?”
Gu Junzhu flashed a slight smile, “She was personally delivered to our Gu family by Officer Yu. Now, of course, I should return the favor and return her to Officer Yu.”
Yu Xingchen’s mouth twitched, a helpless look on his face: “She strongly insisted on me sending her to your family. I’m just a good public servant helping the people, it’s not about returning anything. She has nothing to do with me.”
“She has even less to do with me,” Gu Junzhu revealed a light smile, “So, the good public servant should take good care of his people. Beibei and I should go home now.”
He patted Yu Xingchen on the shoulder twice, wrapped his arm around Ye Xingbei’s shoulder and turned to leave.
