Chapter 374: Chapter 375: It’s over, she’s been corrupted by bad influences!
Thinking about how Ye Xingbei had been living at the rcy of others in the Ye Family before turning twenty-one, a hint of sympathy flashed in Gu Junzhu’s eyes. He gently pinched her cheek and said, “Silly girl, there are many people in the world with twisted minds. For the good people, no reason justifies causing harm to others, but for those with malintent, they may perceive an innocent glance from you as an act of contempt or hostility. They hold a grudge against you and, given the opportunity, they will seek revenge and would even go as far as trying to kill you!”
Ye Xingbei: “…Okay, there are indeed such psychopaths!”
Recently she’d read a news alert on her phone: a landlord had rented his house, and when the landlord’s wife went to collect the rent, the tenants had killed her.
When the landlord’s daughter went looking for her mother, the tenants killed her too.
When the landlord went to find his wife and daughter, the tenants killed him.
Furthermore, the tenants went to the landlord’s house and killed the last remaining son.
Just because of sothing as mundane as collecting rent, the entire family of four was wiped out.
After Ye Xingbei had read the news and verified that it was based on true events, not fabrications, she felt a chill down her spine.
It was indeed critical for a person to guard against malicious intentions and be vigilant in life!
Seeing her low spirits, Gu Junzhu gently rubbed the back of her head, hoping to lighten her mood. An idea ca to him that he could use to distract Ye Xingbei. “Let tell you a true story! A story that happened to my friend.”
“Hmm?” Ye Xingbei’s attention was successfully diverted, “Which friend?” “You haven’t t him yet, I’ll introduce you one day!” Gu Junzhu said, “His na is Yu Jingyuan, his father is the third son, and he has two older brothers.” “Jingyuan’s two uncles are governnt officials, but due to their diocre abilities, they only have ordinary positions in Beijing.”
“Jingyuan’s father is a businessman, and his mother is also a daughter of a prestigious family in Beijing, they are quite wealthy. Among the three branches of the Yu Family, Jingyuan’s family is the most well-off.”
“In other families, as soon as the son gets married, it’s akin to separating the families, but the Yu family has been reluctant to do so.”
Ye Xingbei raised an eyebrow at him, “So, because Jingyuan’s two uncles are poor and his family is rich, they don’t want to separate, and make Jingyuan’s family support the two uncles’ families?”
Gu Junzhu chuckled, pinched her cheeks, “How did you get so smart, huh? Isn’t it said that those with pretty faces usually aren’t that bright and can only be vases?”
Ye Xingbei bit his hand, snorted, “I am a Music Spirit, a star in the music industry. Do I look like a vase to you?”
Gu Junzhu laughed out loud, his shoulders shaking, “Darling, you are indeed clever, you learn so fast! You’ve even picked up your husband’s confidence so quickly!”
Ye Xingbei: “…”
Hadn’t she just adopted an air of smugness exactly like the Fifth Master of Gu?
Damn it!
She was acting like him, just as “he who walks with wolves will learn to howl”. Ye Xingbei bit him out of irritation!
Gu Junzhu laughed, kissed her enticing lips, and continued, “Actually, there’s nothing wrong with supporting each other a bit, they’re brothers after all. If they are close, and one is rich, why not support the others?”
“The key point is, the Yu Family’s old couple resented that the third son was not entirely subservient to his older brothers. No matter what benefits Jingyuan’s family got, the grandparents would wish for nothing to be withheld, and everything to be given to the eldest and second brother.”
“Jingyuan, being sharp, felt that his grandparents’ favoritism was too evident. He hired quite a few experienced investigators, and eventually, the truth ca to light.”
