Chapter 694: Chapter 698: New Grievances, Old Hatreds, Emotional Outbursts
The Fifth Lord of Gu reflected on his behavior, acknowledging that a man who bullies his wife is not a good man. Since Ye Xiaobei was so angry, he decided he would become… Hmm, a wolf in fine clothing!
He leisurely followed Ye Xingbei down the stairs.
After descending the staircase, Ye Xingbei headed straight to the kitchen.
Fortunately, perhaps due to the late bedtime the night before, Mi Sheng and Situ Jinse were still asleep.
The kitchen was bustling with chefs showcasing their skills. A sumptuous breakfast was being prepared, with nothing requiring her immediate attention.
Seeing everything run smoothly, she felt reassured that no matter what time Mi Sheng and Situ Jinse woke up, they would be able to enjoy a fresh and hot breakfast. She left the kitchen and headed to the backyard to check on her son and Lingyue.
Just as she reached the bottom of the living room stairs, a car swerved in, driven by Yu Nuo.
She froze in surprise.
Yu Nuo opened the car door and rolled out onto the ground.
Shocked, Ye Xingbei rushed down the steps to Yu Nuo’s side. “Yu Nuo?”
Yu Nuo’s face was bruised and bloody. He lay collapsed on the ground but was still clutching a thermos.
The Gu Family’s bodyguards rushed over, all asking, “Yu Nuo, what happened?”
Ye Xingbei scooped Yu Nuo up into her arms, her hands shaking at the sight of his beaten face. “Yu Nuo, who did this to you?”
“It was Ye Weiyang and Ye Weizhi…” stuttered Yu Nuo, blood dripping from his mouth, “I…I waited in line for a long time to buy the dumplings the young master wanted. Ye Weiyang demanded I give them up. I refused, we fought, they…they had more people…but…”
He shoved the thermos into Ye Xingbei’s arms, and despite everything, a smile crept onto his face. “I…I managed to retrieve the dumplings.”
The thermos was covered in blood.
