Chapter 581: Chapter 584: Fifth Lord of Gu, You Are So Shaless!
She fell silent for a mont, then sighed softly. “I still rember this day. When I was ten, my foster mother went to a relative’s house for a gathering. She got drunk and when she ca back, she beat with a wooden stick while crying, lanting why it had to be her daughter who died and not . She said how good it would have been if I were the one who died, so her daughter could have lived.”
Gu Junzhu’s brow furrowed tighter, and his heart ached as if being twisted.
He couldn’t imagine how it would feel for a ten-year-old child to face such a curse from a loved one.
He touched Ye Xingbei’s cheek, “Ye Xiaobei, you’ve suffered so much when you were little. It must be to build up all your luck to et ! Don’t be afraid if others don’t care for you. From now on, I will care for you!”
“Yes, you do care for a lot,” Ye Xingbei smiled sweetly, looking up at him. “Actually, I’ve always wanted to ask you, why are you so good to ?”
“Because you’re beautiful!” Gu Junzhu rubbed her now swelling-free cheek, “I’m just a common person who values appearances.”
Ye Xingbei: “…I’m serious!”
“Serious?” The Fifth Lord of Gu composed himself, his gaze landed on Ye Xingbei, His gaze was burning hot, “Alright then, honestly, what I value most is still the inside, what we call…aning.”
Ye Xingbei: “…”
Sothing seems off!
“Ye Xiaobei…” Gu Junzhu leaned over to Ye Xingbei’s ear and bit her earlobe, “Your inner beauty is so alluring!”
“…!” Ye Xingbei pushed him away, “Get out!”
Gu Junzhu laughed loudly. Not only did he not leave, but he also pulled her into his arms and kissed her cheek, “Ye Xiaobei, get well soon. I’m afraid I can’t help myself from you!”
Ye Xingbei: “…you shaless! Who is trying to seduce you?”
“You!” Said Fifth Lord of Gu seriously,” I confessed that I like you, but you forced to appreciate your inner beauty. Isn’t this trying to seduce ?”
Ye Xingbei: “…”
Pei!
“aning” isn’t a word to use like this!
Ye Xingbei’s inner damages: “I won’t chat with you anymore. It’s impossible to chat properly with you!”
“Fine, fine. Keep talking. I’m listening,” The Fifth Lord of Gu showed a face full of your-unreasonable-but-I-am-willing-to-compromise attitude, “Then what? I rember in the docunts that your foster father died when he went mountain climbing for herbs?”
“He didn’t die imdiately,” said Ye Xingbei, “He was severely injured at that ti. He spent all the family’s savings but still didn’t get better. He beca paralyzed in bed for over a year before he passed away. After my foster father passed away, my foster mother’s health imdiately declined, and she passed away soon after.”
“After the death of my foster parents, my foster brother enlisted in the military. Before he left, he put under the care of my foster father’s younger brother and sister.”
“I know the rest,” said Gu Junzhu, “Your foster father’s younger brother planned to marry you off to an old cripple for the dowry. You ran away on your wedding day, escaped the small town in the middle of the night, and ran to Jiang City, where you t Jiang Lin. I already know what happened afterward very clearly.”
He touched Ye Xingbei’s cheek, clicked his tongue: “No kidding, your life in these short 21 years is quite legendary, filled with unfortunate events and ups and downs. It’s worth singing and weeping for.”
Ye Xingbei: “…only if you are uneducated, don’t misuse idioms! What are these ssy phrases? Besides, I am so miserable and even if you don’t shed a tear for , can you at least wipe that smile off your face? You’re so heartless!”
