“Little Lei, how are your parents doing? I heard your family went overseas to expand the business so I haven’t seen you in a while, I almost couldn’t recognize you.”Han Lei’s father had worked with Gu Tianxiang before, so Han Lei had known both Gu Xi and Gu Xue’er since they were children. Although they were not close back then, they could still be regarded as childhood friends.Therefore, Han Lei had always been on good terms with Gu Xue’er, which meant that he naturally never paid attention to the fact that the Gu family constantly ignored Gu Xi’s existence.It was not until university that he finally noticed her properly.However, Gu Xi used to act like a love-struck fool around him, which irked him to no end and even disgusted him as well.Who would have expected that things would turn out as it had at that moment?“My parents are doing well, thank you for your concern, Uncle Gu,” Han Lei replied politely.“Heh, that’s good to hear. I never expected that you would attend th
To them, Gu Xi had not done anything she should not have done so why was she enduring such unfair treatment?Luo Yang, in particular, flushed red with anger as he stepped forward before striding over to shield Gu Xi behind his back. He then said in dissatisfaction, “How could you talk to her like that, she hasn’t done anything wrong!”Gu Tianxiang never expected somebody to speak for Gu Xi so his face immediately fell as he said, “I’m teaching my daughter a lesson, so I wish that an outsider like you would not get involved.” As soon as his words fell, he looked towards Gu Xi with a gaze that could kill. “Are you going to get lost or not?”“The Mo family invited Gu Xi yet you want to kick her out. President Gu, are you trying to embarrass the Mo family?” Nangong stepped forward to say.Nangong’s words always carried the most weight and authority within their group so his words prompted the others to nod in agreement.Mo Han’s expression went cold as he said, “As the Second Young Ma
Mo Yun watched Gu Xi with even more surprise now as he said, “You’re actually a distinguished guest, please sit at the front.”Gu Xi chuckled lightly, her laugh as pleasing to the ear as bells, which charmed the people surrounding her. She was led away as if she was the moon cupped by the stars themselves, leaving behind Gu Tianxiang, Gu Xue’er, and Han Lei, who had long been forgotten.They did not even get an introduction.Han Lei’s expression fell; he had always thought that he and Luo Yang were on good terms but it was obvious now that he was nothing in Luo Yang’s eyes.On the other hand, Gu Xue’er watched Gu Xi leave with envy, her hands drawn into tight fists. She wished desperately that she was in Gu Xi’s place and her resentment was practically driving her crazy!Only Gu Tianxiang stood unmoving in his place, completely dumbfounded.He never expected for that group of boys to come from such influential families!Forget Mo Han, who was already the Second Young Master of
Gu Xi sat back down on the couch, fuming with anger as she shoved mouthfuls of cake into her mouth. As the sweetness rushed down her throat, her foul mood dissipated slightly.What was the big deal really? She needed to hold herself together or she would be playing right into Ruan Meng’er’s hands!She reminded herself that Xing Beiyan felt nothing towards that woman, absolutely nothing at all. He was still the good man that pampered her, the bad woman!He belonged only to her!She slapped her cheeks a few times and suppressed her hateful thoughts. After doing so, Gu Xi calmed down significantly.She could not react the same way she had in her previous life; Gu Xi assumed that Xing Beiyan had betrayed her after Gu Xue’er showed her a photo of him and a model attending an event together. It was an event that would eventually contribute to her unforgettable end!Did she not already know that Ruan Meng’er was going to show up? There was no point in being jealous since all she needed
Once Gu Xue’er saw what Gu Xi was doing, a smug smile tugged at her lips.Yes, cause trouble! Cause all the trouble you can. I want to see just how much Xing Beiyan can bear!“What is that woman doing, why is she walking towards Lord Xing?”“She’s so beautiful. Which family’s young miss is she and why haven’t I seen her before?”“So what if she’s beautiful, the way I see it, her beauty doesn’t make her worthy of our Lord Xing!”“Just watch, I heard no woman’s been able to get close to Lord Xing yet. It’ll be even funnier if she embarrasses herself.”“Yes, let’s watch a good show while we find out who that woman is exactly.”Some people had begun talking among themselves.As soon as everybody else heard the commotion, they too turned their heads to look in Gu Xi’s direction.Mo Yun froze for a moment before he walked forward to say, “Are you looking for Little Han and the rest? They’re still helping out outside, I’ll let them know in a bit.”Gu Xi stopped walking to shake her
“What did you say?!” Xing Beiyan’s eyes narrowed dangerously.“I… I’ll wear what I want! You’re so fierce!” Gu Xi was startled by Xing Beiyan. Not only were they in the presence of so many people, but she also felt aggrieved and scared, which made her instantly tear up.“You…” Xing Beiyan was slightly angry but, once he met her teary eyes, his ruthless words died in his throat. With a sigh, he said weakly, “Okay, okay. You can dress like this but only at home, understood?”Gu Xi sniffled, glaring at him despite things already going her way as if the results were not entirely satisfactory.“Don’t cause any more trouble, baby, come here…” Xing Beiyan pulled her closer. After realizing she was not resisting, he pulled her in entirely to wrap an arm around her waist.Everyone was shocked because they never thought that this seemingly cold-blooded and indifferent man would actually swallow his pride to comfort a woman in such a situation.They had all been discussing just how miserabl
“So you’re Elder Sister Gu?” At that moment, Ruan Meng’er came forward to greet her. “I’ve heard Grandma mention you many times. She always praised your beauty and now that I’ve managed to see it for myself, you’re truly outstanding.”“Oh? Is that so~” Gu Xi glanced at her. His family had complimented her beauty?They might have complimented her face because there was nothing else about her that was redeeming to them.However, she did not deny that that was the truth as well.The only redeeming quality of the old Gu Xi was her beauty since her brain had probably been eaten by a dog.“Yes. I thought Big Brother Xing would bring you with him, I never expected…” Ruan Meng’er laughed apologetically. “Elder Sister, please don’t misunderstand. Big Brother Xing and I are not in that kind of relationship,” she quickly continued.“Your relationship isn’t important. Do you know what’s important? Are you my father’s illegitimate child?” Gu Xi looked at her strangely.“No… I’m not…” Ruan Me
“President Gu, are you saying my wife lacks common sense?” Xing Beiyan’s sharp gaze fell onto Gu Tianxiang like a blade, rendering him unable to advance or retreat.“He’s so brave, he actually said Lord Xing’s wife lacked common sense in front of his face?” somebody could not resist mocking Gu Tianxiang.“Big Brother Xing, you know that’s not what Daddy means. In any case, Xixi is still his daughter, why would he accuse her like that?” Gu Xue’er spoke quickly before looking at Gu Xi to continue, “Xixi, say something too.”“You’re all so weird. I was just responding to Elder Sister Xue’er’s words. Why am I the one that doesn’t know any better?” Gu Xi was laughing evilly inside but, on the surface, her face was locked into a puzzled expression.Since Gu Xi was beautiful, her puzzled expression made everyone instantly direct their criticisms towards Gu Xue’er instead.“That’s true, she was being too much when she suddenly appeared to chide somebody else. Gu Xi was just explaining thi
