Fortunately, it was Old Madam Xing who had been in control of the overall situation back then. She felt that she was the one who caused her son to run away from home, so she had always been guilty about it. That was why she loved and cared for this particular grandson very much. In spite of that, Xing Beiyan had often been tricked and set up by others as a child. In fact, there were many times when he had to be punished by caning. Gu Xi had found out about all of this in her previous life. In the past, she only knew that her maternal grandfather was a close friend of Xing Beiyan’s grandfather. Since her grandfather had only brought her to visit the old Xing residence a few times as a child, Gu Xi did not have a lot of memories of Xing Beiyan. The only memory she could clearly recall was that time when she was too playful and got lost in the Xing family’s mansion. She accidentally went into his room and was startled to tears by his wild and menacing eyes. Later, Gu Xi realized that X
Currently, in the Xing family’s mansion. Seven in the evening. In the living room. “Yo~ Now isn’t that Mr. CEO of the Xing family? You’ve finally come home, just when I thought you had forgotten all about us, your family.” Yang Mei, the second aunt that was usually most envious of Xing Beiyan, sarcastically said. “What nonsense is that! Beiyan is so busy and he’s finally back for once, how could you say that.” To the side, Second Master Xing reprimanded his wife, immediately standing up. With a kind expression, he said, “Beiyan, your second aunt always speaks like that. Don’t get angry now.” Although his expression was benevolent, his eyes flashed coldly. They were both nothing more than relatives on the surface. “Beiyan, you’re back.” At this moment, an aged voice sounded from the floor above. A well-maintained old woman dressed in elegant and refined clothes with a head of hair like frost was walking down the stairs with the support of a pleasant-looking girl. The
Once this thought occurred to her, Xing Yao felt that she was speaking logically so she quickly expressed the dissatisfaction in her mind. “Pay respects?” Xing Beiyan sneered. “Letting the wife of the Xing family’s head pay respect to you, an outsider! You think...you deserve that?” The atmosphere immediately went dead-silent. They had not met in so long that it seemed she had forgotten that the Xing family was under Xing Beiyan’s control now… Xing Yao’s face went red with anger because Xing Beiyan was indeed telling the truth. The wife of the Xing family’s head would be calling the shots in the future so Xing Yao simply did not deserve anything! However, she never expected that the current Xing Beiyan would consider everyone else beneath him now. Not only did he no longer regard her as his eldest aunt, but he also did not show her any respect in the presence of the entire family. She was furious! “Mother, look. I’m being treated so poorly by my nephew. Is there no natural
Once the conversation touched on the subject of his wife, the ice in Xing Beiyan’s expression melted away instantly. The corner of his mouth pulled into a loving smile, which made it so easy for people to fall for him with just a glance. Ruan Meng’er looked at this perfect man and her eyes gleamed with a determination to get this man for herself. As for Gu Xi who was at home, she was sitting alone at the table after having finished cooking dinner with the servants. She thought about what she had discovered on Baidu, Gu Xi’s complicated mood made her lose all appetite towards the dishes on the table. She had lived two lives and spent two lifetimes with him, yet had never known that Xing Beiyan had such severe stomach problems. She had even persuaded him to drink Gu Xue’er’s alcohol the last time they went out to ensure the success of her plan… The more she thought about it, the more Gu Xi hated herself. How could she be so selfish; even in this life she was reborn into, she only
“Tsk~” Dong Wenbo rolled his eyes rudely. “As if I’ll believe you, you rotten hag…” “I know you’re jealous that I can study well and also a natural beauty…” Gu Xi replied calmly. Dong Wenbo’s lips twitched slightly. ‘This woman really doesn’t understand modesty, how interesting…’ Gu Xue’er watched this scene with a vicious look as she gritted her teeth. She could not understand why all these people treated Gu Xi better over time. Should they not be hating her more instead? Why had things become like this? Gu Xue’er felt that Gu Xi was slowly taking her things away. Take that day for example, she did not know what had happened, why she was already at home when she came to, and why her entire body ached. Daddy did not say anything and merely stared at her with a calm expression while her Mother stopped herself from saying anything when Gu Xue’er asked her. What about the plan and Xing Beiyan… Was she not supposed to have slept with Xing Beiyan and then pin the blame on Gu X
Just the thought of Gu Xue’er doing so made everyone murmur amongst themselves endlessly. “If there’s nothing else, I’m going to go now.” As if she could not see Gu Xue’er’s ugly expression, Gu Xi waved her hand and left with no burden on her shoulders. … “The Talent Festival is around the corner, do you really not want to start learning?” Luo Yang asked with a complicated expression on his face after he walked over to the girl lying in the grass and swiping away at Weibo on her phone. “Tomorrow, tomorrow,” Gu Xi replied indifferently. “Tomorrow is Mo Han’s elder brother’s engagement banquet and we’re all going. Are you going to practice by yourself then?” Luo Yang looked at her with disdain. “That works too, I don’t mind.” As soon as Gu Xi’s words fell, she suddenly lifted her head. “What did you just say?!” “You, you are going to practice by yourself?” Luo Yang was shocked at her sudden outburst. “Before that.” Gu Xi stared at him fixedly. “The Talent Festival is so
Gu Xi changed into her maroon maxi dress that significantly accentuated her figure before she curled her hair into loose waves. Her hair, which had originally been smooth and straight, was also long. Since her hairstyle made her delicate face look small and cute, making her seem younger, she had always been too lazy to change it up. Now that she had soft waves in her hair, there was a different aura to Gu Xi. Coupled with the maxi dress she had on, she looked extremely sexy and beautiful. No man would be able to resist her charm. She put on darker makeup, which included rose-red lipstick and her originally young face was no more. It was replaced with the face of a mature and alluring woman. Now that Gu Xi was almost ready, she wrapped the small shawl she had prepared around her shoulders and picked up a bag that went perfectly with her maroon maxi dress. After tightening the pair of silver high heels she rarely wore around her ankles, she left her dorm. Gu Xi had already gotten
“That’s because I can endure things better than most people!” Luo Yang quickly changed his previous remark, rubbing away at the back of his hand. He had planned not to wash his hair this month too~ Han Lei furrowed his eyebrows, wondering when Luo Yang and Gu Xi had become so close. Gu Xi’s attitude towards him and Luo Yang was so different too! He felt a sense of displeasure in his heart. Only a woman like Gu Xi was worthy of him; if she was as charming before as she was now, why did he used to hate her so much? That was because Gu Xi had not been enlightened back then so Han Lei should not have blamed himself. “Hanhan, stop staring at me or I think Nangong’s gaze will kill me,” Gu Xi teased as she stood before Mo Han. “He, he…” Mo Han blushed, which rarely happened, before he whipped his head around to glare at Nangong. He looked back at her again to say, “Who’s staring at you, don’t overthink things. I’m just worried that the way you’re dressed today will steal the limelig
