“Don’t be embarrassed, I’ve heard similar statements many times. I know a lot of you want to get close to Young Master Dong because I sit close to him. It’s nothing to worry about, I don’t mind.” Gu Xi shook her head, completely confident that Ruan Meng’er was not asking to sit next to her.Once everyone heard this, they felt that she was speaking the truth.“I… Alright! Take a seat, pretty lady,” Dong Wenbo said before he sprung up and leaped over his row of tables to land in the empty seat next to Gu Xi.The clean and quick move he had just pulled made all the girls present swoon over him, their screams muffled by their hands.“Young Master Dong is so handsome, you can’t deny it!”Teacher Li glanced at him but said nothing.Ruan Meng’er still had a gentle smile on her face, which never faltered as she wordlessly sat behind the pair.“Why are you sitting next to me?” Gu Xi grumbled as she glared at the young man.“Hey, hey, hey, you’re being ungrateful now, woman. You were the
Once Gu Xi noticed Gu Xue’er’s expression, she immediately knew what the latter was thinking.After all, how could Gu Xi not know? Her lips quirked up in a smirk; she was going to see just how happy Gu Xue’er would be once she received Gu Xi’s second grand surprise present.…“What are all of you doing? Don’t you need to practice?” Gu Xi asked as soon as she arrived at the rooftop to see Luo Yang and the rest huddled over their phones as they shouted “Third kill! Third kill! Fourth kill! Ah ah ah, fourth kill down!” Even Nangong, who was usually the mature one, had his head low as he focused on the game.“We’re gaming, let us finish this round,” Luo Yang answered without raising his head,Gu Xi muttered under her breath, “Is it really so much fun?” before she sat down next to them to watch.“Are you stupid? Why are you running, attack, attack!” After watching the game for a while, Gu Xi finally understood what was going on. Once she noticed how timidly Luo Yang was playing as Lu
At the headquarters of Dark Night Group.“Master, these past few days, Young Madam has been…” Yang Fan was in the midst of reporting to Xing Beiyan about Gu Xi’s recent condition.“What has she been doing?” Xing Beiyan lifted his head to glance at him.“She’s, she’s been gaming…” As soon as Yang Fan’s words fell, he felt the air around him turned cold.“Gaming?” Xing Beiyan’s gaze turned dark for a second; did she not say she would be too busy to go home when they went their separate ways a few days ago?Gu Xi had sent him sporadic text messages to keep him updated in the beginning, telling him how she had been doing recently. However, she kept it up for only a few days before she had stopped.As it turned out...she was busy playing games?“What game has she been playing?” Xing Beiyan’s eyes gleamed before he suddenly lifted his head to ask Yang Fan.“That…” Yang Fan was slightly taken aback and thought to himself, ‘The game isn’t the thing you should be caring about right?’…
“Grandfather, cousin…” Gu Xi called out to them, slightly nervous.The grandfather-grandson pair that was in the middle of a conversation immediately turned to look at her. “Xixi, you’re here, come sit,” Gu Xi’s maternal grandfather said while Qiao Zhen merely nodded his head at her in greeting.Gu Xi felt slightly unhappy but she also knew she had to reap what she sowed, so she nodded her head slightly before sitting next to the pair cautiously.“Xixi, you’re here. Sit for a while, I’ll be done cooking soon,” her eldest aunt said happily as she emerged from the kitchen.“There’s no need to hurry, Eldest Aunt,” Gu Xi said with a nod and a smile.“Why, are you here for Grandfather’s shares again? I heard Gu Tianxiang is in a lot of trouble right?” Qiao Zhen asked coldly.“Little Zhen, how dare you speak like that?” Qiao Zhi scolded angrily once he heard Qiao Zhen’s question.‘My son used to treat Gu Xi like a sister, why is he acting like this now?’“Eldest Uncle.” Gu Xi stopped
However, no matter which family Gu Xi was in, the Qiao family could not rescue her.“Grandfather, Uncle, Big Brother, are the three of you willing to believe me? I don’t want that thirty percent of shares, I just want the three of you to help me take back what my mother put her blood and sweat into establishing. I want Gu Tianxiang and his family to know what it's like to have everything taken away!” As Gu Xi’s statement neared the end, her voice turned as cold as ice.The three of them finally believed her.“Since you seem to have thought things through, Grandfather will definitely fully support Xixi,” the old man said, finally lifting his head to look at her.“Why didn’t you tell your uncle about such a huge matter earlier?” Qiao Zhi sighed as he looked at Gu Xi, who now seemed so sensible, with a distressed expression.“Little Zhen, help Xixi out and check just how many crimes Gu Tianxiang committed recently as well.” Now that Gu Xi no longer protected that scumbag of a man, Qi
“What do you mean I bought this, my husband gave it to me as a gift!” As soon as Gu Xi said this, she became even more smug, like she was afraid that Qiao Zhi and Qiao Zhen would not be able to see how happy she was now. She quickly reiterated everything that had happened recently to the pair of men.The father and son could not believe their ears; they never would have thought that such a cold man like Xing Beiyan would actually treat his woman with such love and indulgence.They originally thought Gu Xi had married Xing Beiyan because both their families were on good terms.However, since he treated Gu Xi well, they were relieved on her behalf.After bidding the both of them farewell, Gu Xi immediately contacted Gu Xue’er to let her know she now had her hands on the shares.It had gotten very late by the time she arrived back at her dormitory.Once she got into bed after washing up, her group text went haywire as soon as she turned on her phone.It was Luo Yang and the rest sc
“Gu Xi, quickly come and take a look at our university’s forum.” As soon as Gu Xi sat down, Li Limi walked over to say, “Somebody spread rumors about you on the voting thread for Campus Beauty.”Gu Xue’er walked over, obviously taking pleasure in Gu Xi’s misfortune and said, “That’s right, Xixi, what did you do? Why is somebody talking about you being intimate with some guy? Could… Could it be that you really have a sugar…” Once she arrived at the key point, Gu Xue’er quickly covered her mouth. However, their classmates were not stupid so they naturally pieced two and two together once they heard what Gu Xue’er had said.“Does she really have a sugar daddy? How could she be so shameless?”“It’s no wonder she’s always dressed head to toe in branded items. I heard she’s sisters with our class monitor yet why isn’t our class monitor dressed so luxuriously?”“There must be a reason behind it so I think those rumors are true.”“She thinks she can go around seducing people just because
Everyone’s curiosity towards Gu Xi’s rumors had now been diverted away because of her miserable life.As expected, no matter where or when, a pitiful person would always garner sympathy.It was no wonder Gu Xue’er acted so pitiful all day long.However, at that moment, Gu Xi just had to say, “Please don’t talk like that, everyone. Elder Sister Xue’er’s mother has always treated me well. Elder Sister Xue’er is always busy studying, how terrible. I don’t need to, though. My stepmother said that I can play every day and that I don’t need to worry about anything else. I wanted to study but she said there was no point for a girl to study since I would be getting married anyway. I felt so sad for Elder Sister Xue’er when my stepmother said that because it was obvious she loved me and not her.”Was that statement not something that Gu Xue’er used all the time?However, the fact that she had said it out loud made everyone wonder whether Gu Xi truly was stupid.It was obvious Gu Xi was be
