When Gu Jinhang heard that, amusement flashed across his eyes. But he quickly put on an agonized expression and moaned and groaned in pain.
He frightened Ji Mingyue so badly that she quickly applied more medicine for him and kept coaxing him.
Gu Qingyao ground her teeth when she heard that.
She walked over and sat down in front of Gu Jinhang. Although she already knew the answer, she asked, “Second Cousin, who beat you up?”
Ji Mingyue was delighted to see that Gu Qingyao was back. Before Gu Jinhang could answer, she said, “Yao Yao, you’re back! That’s great! Your medical skills are so good, come and look. Are your Second Cousin’s injuries serious? He’s been moaning in pain!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
The ancients were right. A woman in love is a fool!
Gu Qingyao made a show of examining him. “He’s fine. It was just a beating! Men have thick skin; they’ll be fine even after a few beatings!”
Gu Jinhang raised his brows. But Ji Mingyue protested before he could say anything!
“How can that be? Jinhang doesn’t know martial arts and doesn’t know how to fight. How can he withstand a beating?
“I’ve already given my older brother a good beating. Really, he knows that Jinhang can’t withstand a beating, but he still hit him so hard. Although we didn’t tell him that Jinhang is my boyfriend… Jinhang didn’t take advantage of me or cheat me. Why is my brother so angry?”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
She could not help but glance at her second cousin in admiration. What kind of love potion have you been feeding my friend? She even takes sides against her own brother?

Gu Qingyao could only say, “Don’t be angry. Your older brother is just concerned for you! He dotes on you, so he is especially concerned about whether your boyfriend is good to you!”
Of course, Ji Mingyue knew that her older brother was concerned for her. But when she looked at the injuries on Gu Jinhang’s face, her heart ached again!
It was all right for him to be concerned about her, or to feel that it was wrong of Gu Jinhang to conceal the truth from him. A fight was also fine. But to beat him like that… she could not bear it!
Gu Jinhang was inwardly very smug!
He was happy to take another beating!
Gu Qingyao glanced at her Second Cousin. This fellow had definitely done it on purpose.
Her Second Cousin looked weak and scholarly, but he had learnt martial arts. She was sure that his fighting skills were at least on par with Ji Mingzhe. But he had been so badly beaten up, and all the injuries were on his face. There was certainly something fishy about that.
Gu Qingyao stayed at the house for a while, but all she saw was Ji Mingyue and her Second Cousin cooing at each other. It made her grind her teeth. In the end, she just pursed her lips and went off to find her own husband.
While Gu Qingyao was blissfully enjoying her honeymoon, things were exactly the opposite in the Bai family.
Old Master Bai had fallen ill recently!
His illness was quite serious too.
Recently, the Bai family had been humiliated.
After the fuss that Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing made, saying that Bai Youran was not the Bai family’s daughter, the Bai family shielded Bai Youran. A pity that, not long after that, Mo Yunhao was forced to leave the Mo family.
They thought that with the Bai family’s support, Mo Yunhao would certainly become the master of the Mo family. But what had happened in the end?
Before the Bai family could do anything, that idiot Mo Yunhao had already gotten into trouble.
He actually lost 600,000 yuan?
In the past, he had boasted about how much money he earned. But it had been a joke.
As for Bai Youran?
She was the Bai family’s Young Lady and had loved Mo Beihan for so many years, but changed her mind the moment Mo Yunhao made some money. In the end, she only married him when Mo Yunhao failed completely.
The upper class were all laughing over the fact that the Bai family had acknowledged Bai Youran as their biological daughter.
