Chapter 580: Chapter 583: Rival in Love Isn’t Limited to Gender
Yue Yaer ca to Y country to visit relatives and would return to her country in two months, so they signed a short-term contract this ti.
“Sure,” Ye Xingbei said, “Yaer is great, she’s beautiful, gentle, patient, a good doctor, loves to read and is well-inford. It’s always interesting to chat with her.”
Gu Junzhu arched an eyebrow, “Am I not well-inford as well?”
Ye Xingbei: “… Why is a grown man like you competing with a girl? Isn’t that embarrassing?”
Fifth Lord of Gu boasted, “Your competition is not gender-based. n are comrades, won are glasses.”
Ye Xingbei: “… Lord Gu, you win, you are indeed well-inford!”
Seeing her speechless expression again, Gu Junzhu laughed, ruffled her hair, and helped her lie on the bed, “Tired? Want to sleep?”
“I just ate, and now I’m going to sleep, I’ll beco a pig,” Ye Xingbei said, “I’ll lie down for a while, and then sleep later.”
Fifth Lord of Gu: “A pig lying in a pigpen without sleeping is still a pig.”
Ye Xingbei: “… Get out!”
“How lonely will you be if I leave?” Fifth Lord of Gu not only didn’t leave, he got on the bed, sat next to her, leaned against the headboard, half-encircled her in his arms, stroking her head, “Since we have free ti, Xiao Bei, why don’t you tell about your past? I feel like I don’t know much about you.”
“How could that be?” Ye Xingbei asked, “You’ve dug up almost everything about the Jiang Family, how can you still need to know more?”
“About your childhood,” Gu Junzhu said, “What I an is, I don’t know much about your life with your foster parents. They treated you averagely, not too good, but not terribly either. I didn’t look too deeply into it.”
He investigated the Jiang Family due to his interest in their sches.
Ye Xingbei’s fifteen years of life in the small town were fairly peaceful, so he didn’t investigate much.
But today, he found himself suddenly very interested in those fifteen years Ye Xingbei spent in the small town.
Indeed, people change.
“There’s not much to say,” Ye Xingbei looked at the ceiling, and sighed slowly, “My foster parents took in because they’d lost their daughter, who was around my age, due to illness.”
“Seeing , abandoned by the roadside, they transferred their feelings they once had for their deceased daughter onto , bringing into their ho.”
“When I was little, they were pretty good to , pouring all the love they had for their biological daughter onto .”
“But you know, in small towns like ours, there’s a prevalent son preference. My foster parents had their own son and the family was relatively poor. Whatever good food or toys the family had, they would give to my brother. If anything went wrong in life, I, the adopted child, would be their punching bag.”
Ye Xingbei looked at Gu Junzhu, “Don’t you find it strange that I can remain so calm after being hurt by others? I’m used to it. I’ve been beaten by my foster parents since I was young. If a chicken or duck went missing from the house, I got beaten. When my foster parents had a quarrel with others, I got beaten. Even if my brother fell outside, it was my fault. I was not only beaten but also denied food.”
Gu Junzhu rubbed Ye Xingbei’s face, with his brows furrowed, “Little Bei, why is your life so miserable?”
Ye Xingbei shrugged her shoulders, “Actually, when I was little, my foster parents were not that bad to . But the older I got, the more attractive I beca. I was known as the beauty of the town, and my foster parents started to beco unbalanced.”
