“What?” Second Madam Gu jumped up, “You want to let that little bastard attend the welcome feast? Lin’er, what kind of status do you have? You’re the young master of the Cool Breeze Faction! And what is she? She’s just a slut who is relying on an old man to gain power! Is she worthy enough to attend your welcome feast? She’s insulting our Gu family just by stepping through our door!”
In the past, Second Madam Gu wouldn’t have dared to say such words. However, now that her son had become the Cool Breeze Faction’s young master, how could she not be arrogant? That brat Gu Ruoyun was practically like mud compared to her outstanding son; too filthy to even look at!
“Alright, that’s enough.” Grandfather looked unhappily at Second Madam Gu. He had disagreed with his son about letting Second Madam Gu marry into the Gu family in the past. If not for her excellent son, he would have driven her out long ago. She was a narrow-minded shrew, “Let’s leave all the arrangements for Xianglin to decide. , Don’t interfere with matters like these. You’re just a woman.”
Hearing the old man’s words, Second Madam Gu shut her mouth unhappily. She felt indignant in her heart. What right did that heartless, cold little bastard have to participate in her precious son’s welcome feast?
Of course, Second Madam Gu had never even thought about how they had previously bullied Gu Ruoyun. When Gu Shengxiao had been present, the bullying had not been overboard. But as soon as Gu Shengxiao had left, they had become even more aggressive. In the end, they had beaten the innocent Gu Ruoyun to death for an outsider.
So what kind of affection did they expect Gu Ruoyun to have for them?
However, people like Second Madam Gu would never dwell on their own mistakes. In her eyes, she would always be blameless; the ones in the wrong would always be someone else!
……
“Xiao Yun.”
Just as Gu Ruoyun stepped into the courtyard, a devilishly red silhouette came flying from close by. With a crown of bewitching silver hair, the already exceptional face seemed even more beautiful. His expression looked like he was feeling wronged as he looked at her pitifully.
“Xiao Yun’er, while you were gone, they bullied me.”
“They bullied you? Who are they?” Gu Ruoyun frowned and asked.
“Zuo Shangchen,” Qianbei Ye said pitifully, “He said that men and women should maintain a distance. He told me not to follow you all the time, and that kids shouldn’t keep clinging to their mothers once they’re grown. If I brought you harm by following you, Xiao Yun’er, can I really not be with you?”
Gu Ruoyun’s heart ached as she looked at his pitiful appearance. To her, Qianbei Ye was just like a weak child with a immature heart who needed her protection. Thus, she couldn’t help but feel resentful towards Zuo Shangchen.
At this very moment, busy with thinking of ways to discipline Zuo Shangchen, Gu Ruoyun didn’t notice a glint flash through the eyes of the man in front her; in the blink of an eye, it quickly vanished before anyone could notice…
It couldn’t be helped. For the sake of driving away that clingy evil man, it was the only solution.
If his opponents were people like Leng Yanfeng, then he could just directly take action to make sure they never dared to trouble Gu Ruoyun again. But it seemed like that evildoer had a rather good relationship with Xiao Yun; if he beat Zuo Shangchen up, Xiao Yun would definitely get angry at him.
……
It was at this moment that Shopkeeper Zhao hurried in saying, “Eldest Miss, the Fourth Prince is asking for an audience.”
Hearing so, Gu Ruoyun replied quickly, “I refuse!”
Shopkeeper Zhao was confused. Eldest Miss had always had a pretty good relationship with the Fourth Prince. Why was she refusing even to meet him now?
“Xiao Yun’er, did I make you angry somehow? Why do you resent me so much? You won’t even let me through the door.”
Author’s Note: Xiao Ye is very sinister. He had to act like a villian to chase away the evil man, crying wolf. Haha!
