Beitang Tingxue looked down at herself: "I can’t go like this. I need to dress up nicely. You too, you have to wear your most handso and coolest clothes!"
Wei Hanting: "...Alright."
The two returned to the living room, and Beitang Tingxue excitedly shared her plan with everyone.
Beitang Xinya was the first to oppose: "No! This is too ridiculous. How can you drag Master Wei into your nonsense?"
She gave Beitang Tingxue a pat and apologized to Wei Hanting: "I’m sorry, Master Wei, Tingxue is spoiled by and doesn’t know her limits. You don’t have to pay her any mind."
Seeing Beitang Xinya’s opposition, Wei Hanting was sowhat hesitant: "Indeed, I also think..."
"I think this idea is not bad," Gu Junzhu interrupted him, "I just got a ssage from Xiao Gu Qi that Yue Zhi has already broken Yue Qingqing’s leg. If you show up in front of Yue Zhi and Wu Jiarun at this mont, their expressions will surely be fascinating."
Ye Xingbei: "..."
Their Fifth Master is really... enjoys the spectacles regardless of the seriousness of the matter!
"Yes, yes, yes!" Beitang Tingxue was all fired up: "Doesn’t Yue Zhi and Wu Jiarun think having a big official uncle is impressive? Then I’ll let them know that my boyfriend’s position is higher than Wu Jiarun’s uncle’s. Let’s see if they still dare to go against us, if they still dare to fight for my brother’s inheritance!"
Ye Xingbei pondered for a mont and agreed: "I also think this idea is great. We don’t have to give up anything and can intimidate Yue Zhi and Wu Jiarun, making them dare not covet the inheritance rights any longer."
She thought she was being led astray by their family’s Fifth Master.
She actually also wanted to see the expressions on Yue Zhi and Wu Jiarun’s faces when their supposed backer turned out to be no such thing.
"Mom, please agree, okay?" Beitang Tingxue shook Beitang Xinya’s arm and acted coy: "It’s just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend. Anyway, Elder Brother Wei doesn’t have a girlfriend, and I don’t have a boyfriend. What’s the harm? At most... at most, just pretend Elder Brother Wei and I had a date yesterday, and today we’re a couple. Is that alright?"
"No way!" Beitang Xinya sternly refused: "We cannot let Master Wei accompany you in this nonsense. It’s too disrespectful!"
Ye Xingbei secretly poked Gu Junzhu with a finger, leaned over to his ear and whispered: "I really think Tingxue’s idea is quite good. Can you help persuade Aunt Beitang?"
Gu Junzhu chuckled lightly, "Mm, you have a good eye. Indeed, Tingxue is way better than Su Wanping."
"What do you an by having a good eye? I’m saying..." Ye Xingbei was halfway through speaking when her eyes widened suddenly, "You, you, you... are you joking? She’s only twenty-one! If she marries your brother, you’ll have a twenty-one-year-old sister-in-law!"
"So what?" Gu Junzhu chuckled softly. "The Su Family is so disgusting. My brother’s marriage with Su Wanping is dood. Dad may not say it, but he’s surely upset. He’s been looking forward to my brother getting married for many years, excitedly anticipated bringing in the Su Family, and ended up with this result. The disappointnt is understandable."
"True," Ye Xingbei nodded, "Dad must be very disappointed."
She was also very disappointed.
Senior Master Gu kept saying she was the Gu Family’s lucky star, that because of her, good things kept happening to the Gu Family.
But now her luck didn’t work, good things turned bad, and Senior Master Gu was angered by the Su Family.
She... unexpectedly felt a bit of guilt.
It’s simply toxic!
