Capítulo 1708: Chapter 1712: Drawing Lots?
After everything was done, just take a shower right away. No need to carry back and forth.
Ye Xingbei complained to him, “It really doesn’t work if you’re not real brothers! Look at how miserable your Brother Ting is tonight, and yet you still have the mood to enjoy the night.”
Gu Junzhu pressed her against the wall, kissing her pearl-sheen shoulder, “Am I the only one who thinks today is a day to celebrate?”
Ye Xingbei gasped, her body tingling. She bit her lip, too exhausted to speak.
Fifth Lord of Gu ssed around for a while, and after making sure both were refreshed, it was past two in the morning.
Ye Xingbei felt like her bones were falling apart. After being placed on the pillow by Gu Junzhu, she imdiately let out a comfortable sigh.
Gu Junzhu leaned against the headboard, holding his phone in one hand, rubbing her smooth back with the other.
His eyes were slightly squinted, looking truly satisfied.
Ye Xingbei turned over, lying on the bed, looking at him with one eye open, “What ti is it? Why aren’t you sleeping? What are you looking at?”
“Information on the Beitang family and Beitang Tingxue,” Gu Junzhu’s voice was lazy. “Lei Zi asked to help ask his sister if sothing upset her. She went to the bar to drink her sorrows away. I was too lazy to chat with the little girl, so I had Xiao Gu Qi check it out.”
“Oh,” Ye Xingbei asked, “What did you find out?”
“Two keywords: arranged marriage and jerk.” Gu Junzhu handed the phone to Ye Xingbei.
Ye Xingbei didn’t even have the energy to lift a finger. “I don’t want to look. Just tell .”
“Lazy cat!” Gu Junzhu took the phone back and flipped through a few more pages, “Where should I start? … Let’s start with Beitang Tingxue’s parents.”
He rubbed Ye Xingbei’s back with his palm, still flipping through his phone with his fingertips as he spoke leisurely, “Beitang Tingxue’s parents had an arranged marriage. Her father’s na is Yue Zhi, her mother’s na is Beitang Xinya. Her older brother is nad Yue Mingfeng, and her second brother is Yue Benlei…”
Ye Xingbei was surprised, “Their three siblings don’t share the sa surna?”
“Yeah,” Gu Junzhu said, “Many families that enter arranged marriages are like this. Beitang Xinya was the only daughter of the Beitang family. Back then, the status and strength of the Beitang family surpassed the Yue family. In the arranged marriage between the Yue and Beitang families, the greatest benefits went to the Yue family.”
Ye Xingbei comnted, “So, the Beitang family demanded that in the future, they must have one child with the Beitang surna to inherit the Beitang family business and lineage?”
Gu Junzhu nodded, “Exactly.”
“Then what about Tingxue?” Ye Xingbei said, “Logically, Tingxue should have the Yue surna.”
Usually, in such cases, the female side only needs one child to carry the woman’s surna, to inherit her family’s business and lineage.
Why is it that in the Yue and Beitang family, one has the Yue surna and two have the Beitang surna?
Gu Junzhu chuckled, “After Beitang Tingxue was born, the Yue family naturally wanted the granddaughter to have the Yue surna, but the Beitang family disagreed and said they should draw lots.”
Ye Xingbei: “…Draw lots?”
“Yes,” Gu Junzhu nodded, “At that ti, the Yue family was not as wealthy as the Beitang family, and lacked the confidence, so they had to agree to draw lots.”
Ye Xingbei was speechless, “Did Tingxue’s mom win the draw?”
“How ridiculous is this?” Ye Xingbei frowned, “Was there any affection between Tingxue’s father and mother?”
“Maybe a bit,” Gu Junzhu said, “but it was definitely very limited.”
Ye Xingbei thought of sothing, her brows furrowed even more, “You just ntioned, the keywords were arranged marriage and jerk, so did Tingxue’s father have an affair?”
