Chapter 1573: Chapter 1577: The Dragon Has a Reverse Scale
In the evening, everyone was very happy.
They ate and drank, and the family chatted until after eleven at night before dispersing.
Xie Yunlin didn’t go back that night, and Ye Xingbei arranged a guest room for him.
After settling Xie Yunlin in, she also coaxed the two kids to sleep, then returned to the bedroom. After taking a shower, she snuggled into Gu Junzhu’s arms, “Gu Junzhu, I want to ask you sothing.”
“Hmm?” Gu Junzhu looked down at her, his hand on her back, “What’s the matter?”
“Do you know what project my big brother participated in?” Ye Xingbei looked up at him and asked, “I’m really curious. I feel like my big brother’s entire deanor has changed since he ca back from the task, becoming really… terrifying! You didn’t see how he talked to my grandma and Bai Xiaodie; it was really scary, almost as if he could draw a knife and kill them at any mont. It made very nervous!”
“It probably has nothing to do with the task,” Gu Junzhu said, “It’s because Senior Mada Xie and Bai Xiaodie touched his sore spot.”
“Sore spot?” Ye Xingbei raised an eyebrow, “Are you saying, my Second Brother?”
“It’s you and your Second Brother!” Gu Junzhu rubbed her back, “Your big brother is soone with a strong will and a great sense of responsibility. Since your parents are gone, in his mind, you and Xie Jinfei are his responsibility. His abilities surpass his peers. Otherwise, your grandfather wouldn’t value him so highly. So people have big hearts that contain the whole world, but others have small hearts that only hold their loved ones. I see that in Xie Yunlin’s heart, he only holds you and your Second Brother.”
Ye Xingbei felt a sweetness in her heart but also a bit of discomfort.
Feeling sad for Xie Yunlin.
“Actually, I know my big brother has it pretty tough,” Ye Xingbei said, “Although he’s now the heir of the Xie Family and seems quite successful, when he was young, he changed his surna from Jiang to Xie, surely a lot of people talked behind his back. Plus, my uncle and two aunts definitely gave him a hard ti, making things difficult with unpleasant remarks.”
“Yes,” Gu Junzhu said, “He indeed didn’t have it easy when he was young. He and your Second Brother depended on each other to get through those tis, which is why his bond with your Second Brother is especially deep; hurting your Second Brother is like touching his sore spot. He would be willing to risk everything.”
“Actually, I’m quite worried,” Ye Xingbei snuggled closer into Gu Junzhu’s embrace and sighed, “I’m afraid when my grandpa cos back, he’ll punish my big brother… although what my big brother did to my grandma made feel vindicated, in many people’s eyes, it might be seen as defiance and unfilial behavior. I don’t know how my grandpa will react.”
“It’s okay, no need to worry,” Gu Junzhu said, “With your big brother’s abilities, even without your grandpa, he can still do very well. Right now, it’s your grandpa who needs your big brother to carry on the Xie Family lineage, not the other way around. Besides, have you forgotten?”
Gu Junzhu looked down at her, pinched her cheek, “Baby, have you forgotten? Xie Yunlin is now the famous Brother-in-law of Fifth Lord of Gu! Even without the Xie Family heir status, just with the identity of Gu Junzhu’s Brother-in-law, plus his abilities, he can’t go wrong. Before you were with , maybe the Xie Family was still important to your big brother. But after you married , the Xie Family has beco optional for your big brother. This is sothing Senior Master Xie understands better than anyone!”
Ye Xingbei chuckled, “Really? It can be like this?”
