"Seventh?" Old Master Gu was a bit astonished. Why was he coming to the main house this late?
It was only now that the people from the Xia Family properly t Gu Beicheng.
The man before them, like a god descended to earth, was the legendary Seventh Young Master!
Although Xia Chuxue had a fondness for Gu Lingqian in her heart and had seen Gu Beicheng from a distance before,
Face-to-face now, she couldn’t help but feel her face flush and her heartbeat quicken substantially.
The charm of Gu Beicheng was like a lethal poison to won, inescapable whether they were eighty or eighteen.
Even He Shuya, Xia Chuxue’s mother, couldn’t help but feel her heart race despite her age, as if she was back to being eighteen.
That feeling of heart fluttering, which she hadn’t tasted in so many years, unexpectedly resurfaced upon seeing a man so much younger than herself.
Gu Beicheng’s arrival seed to freeze the atmosphere in the hall instantly.
After what felt like forever, Guan Xiaoxue spoke, "Housekeeper Feng, weren’t we going to check Xia Yinian’s health?"
Among all the people present, only Guan Xiaoxue knew the profound relationship between Gu Beicheng and Xia Yinian.
Now that Gu Beicheng was here, this drama was bound to beco absolutely thrilling.
Since soone had laid hands on Xia Yinian, there must be that man involved.
Gu Beicheng wanted to save soone, right? But wasn’t he afraid that he might not only fail to rescue the person but also get dragged down himself?
Xia Yinian was still in shock from Gu Beicheng’s sudden appearance and had not turned around.
Guan Xiaoxue’s words finally snapped her back to reality.
Looking at Gu Feng, she took a deep breath and then said faintly, "No need to check, my body indeed has..."
"What are you all doing here? Interrogating a criminal?"
Gu Beicheng strode over, and as he passed by the people from the Xia Family, they all instinctively stood up.
But Gu Beicheng, as if he didn’t see them, went straight to Old Master Gu and Xia Yinian.
"Dad." He was fairly polite to the Old Master when there wasn’t an issue.
However, after just a greeting, he turned to Xia Yinian with a trace of gentleness, "Why aren’t you resting after being wronged so much tonight? What are you agonizing over here?"
Xia Yinian moved her lips, sowhat puzzled by what he was saying.
Gu Lingqian suddenly understood, the Uncle was here to help them.
He said in surprise, "Nian Nian... you were wronged outside?"
Looking down at Xia Yinian, his fingertips tensed slightly, "What on earth happened?"
Xia Yinian didn’t know what to say, she glanced at Gu Beicheng and could clearly sense his displeasure, hence she was even more at a loss for words.
Perhaps subconsciously, she felt very safe in his presence.
Actually, there was no need for her to say anything.
Xia Yinian’s silence made her seem even more aggrieved.
Gu Ziqi had sothing to say, as she knew the Uncle would certainly help Xia Yinian and she didn’t want to give her the chance to turn the tables.
But Gu Beicheng was not willing to give anyone a chance.
"Chi He." He called out.
Chi He imdiately walked in, followed by a line of people.
Two bodyguards were escorting a man with a face so bruised it was unrecognizable, along with a middle-aged couple.
Seeing the room full of people, the middle-aged man didn’t say anything other than plead for rcy, "It’s my son who was blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai; it’s my son’s fault, Seventh Young Master, please spare us, he won’t dare again!"
