Chapter 769: Chapter 773 This is too cruel
“…” Ye Xingbei angrily grabbed at the front of his shirt, shaking him. “How dare you! If you dare hang that picture on the wall, I’ll use your face to decorate it instead!”
“It’s just a painting, isn’t it? My dear, you really are petty,” Gu Junzhu laughed while ruffling her hair. “I personally think our son’s artwork is particularly impressive, quite realistic indeed!”
Ye Xingbei: “…”
It indeed was realistic!
She was certain that her son was influenced by Gu’s description about a woman clinging onto a man’s torso, that inspired him to create this drawing where the woman was supposed to be her!
That was so… filthy!
...
Ye Xingbei forcefully slapped his shoulder.
Observing her adorably speechless expression, Gu Junzhu burst into laughter and planted a firm kiss on her.
He had his father to thank for granting him Ye Xiaobei.
Their old man truly was the most adorable, understanding, and capable elder in the world!
After taking a bath, returning to the bedroom, Ye Xingbei quickly fell asleep.
She slept until nightfall, waking up to freshen up and change clothes before heading downstairs to check on Fang Yao. She then chatted with Duan Yanbing for a bit, had dinner and spent so ti with Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue before heading for another bath. The mont her head hit the pillow, she dozed off again.
Thanks to the constant toing and froing of the Fifth Lord of Gu, she always found peace, regardless of how shocking or overbearing events around her beca. As long as Fifth Lord of Gu didn’t disturb her, she could fall asleep instantly.
The next day, she rose, fresh and invigorated, hoping to confront the truth, only for Gu Junzhu to announce that his subordinates were still tracking down witnesses. anwhile, Fang Yao had caught a fever and required a couple of days of rest. The matter of settling things with the Fang family was pushed back.
Overwheld with curiosity, Ye Xingbei asked, “What about the paternity test results?”
Gu Junzhu nodded, “They’re ready.”
He had expedited the process through his connections, posted soone outside the laboratory to keep an eye, which pressurized the examiner to work at the earliest.
Ye Xingbei held her breath, asking nervously, “So, who’s Ah Yao’s father?”
“Ye Xiaobei, are you doubting my abilities?” Gu Junzhu ruffled her hair. “Since I’ve stated outright that Ah Yao is Fang Lutong’s son, could the paternity test results say otherwise?”
Akin to a deflated balloon, Ye Xingbei asked, “How did this happen? Is Ah Yao really Fang Lutong’s son? What about Xiao Mi?”
Gu Junzhu responded, “Xiao Mi is also Fang Lutong’s daughter.”
“So, Ah Yao and Xiao Mi are full siblings…” Ye Xingbei muttered to herself. “Perhaps, this is the only sowhat comforting news…”
She couldn’t imagine how heartbroken Fang Yao would be after learning about the animosity between the Fang and Si families.
His own grandfather had killed his other grandfather.
That was too brutal.
“Don’t worry,” Gu Junzhu comforted her as he massaged her head. “Ah Yao is a soft-hearted good kid, but he isn’t as fragile as you think.”
A good kid?
Ye Xingbei cornered her mouth.
That “good kid” is even older than you, Fifth Lord of Gu!
Oh, the audacity of Fifth Lord of Gu!
Lanting over the audacious Fifth Lord of Gu, Ye Xingbei thought of sothing and tugged at his clothing, “Did you tell Ah Yao about the things you ntioned to yesterday?”
“No,” Gu Junzhu said. “He has a fever right now, so let him recover fully. Once I’ve gathered all the evidences and witnesses, we’ll give him one clean sweep.”
Ye Xingbei sighed, “Alright… maybe this is for the best.”
A clean, swift cut would be less torturous than a long and drawn-out process, right?
She could only think this way now.
However, she didn’t expect to wait three days.
Three days later, with Fang Yao’s fever subsiding and significant improvent in his injuries, Gu Junzhu completed gathering all the witnesses, eventually summoning everyone to Wan Wan’s sickroom.
