“You…”
Yu Shiwei’s countenance turned stiff.
She looked towards Ye Huinan.
Ye Huinan was sitting there leisurely, as though he was waiting to watch a good show, while Yu Shiwei and Gu Qingjiu crossed verbal swords. He looked deep and unfathomable, as though he had the entire situation under his control.
Now, since Yu Shiwei opened her mouth to ask for help, he naturally had to speak up.
He gazed towards Gu Qingjiu and said with a faint smile, “Miss Gu, you’re really not sparing my girlfriend any face. However, she’s after all my—Ye Huinan’s—woman. You’re not fit to speak to her like that.”
That last sentence sounded intimidating.
If it was an ordinary person, this might have frightened them.
That gaze—as though it cared about nothing and as though it was looking at a mere ant—had the effect of piercing into one’s heart.
But how could Gu Qingjiu, who was trained by He Niancheng, be startled by this gaze?
She merely sneered and said, “Sir, you sure are humorous. You allow your woman to gossip about others, but not the reverse?”
“You…”
“Qingjiu!”
Ye Huinan narrowed his deep eyes and was about to say something when Yu Bao’er came over.
Though she had no idea what had happened over here, the way Ye Huinan was talking to Gu Qingjiu made her freeze momentarily. “What’s the matter, Qingjiu? You ran into someone you know?”
“No, I don’t know them.”
Gu Qingjiu got to her feet and revealed a light smile at Yu Bao’er. “Are you done looking around? If you are, let’s leave.”
“More or less. I’m done buying.”
Yu Bao’er suddenly held up a shopping bag to show Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
What did this profligate child buy!
With so many people around, she couldn’t criticize her then and there, so she pulled Yu Bao’er and prepared to leave.
Behind her, no idea what Yu Shiwei was thinking, but she suddenly shouted, “Gu Qingjiu, you’re going to regret treating my mom that way sooner or later!”
Gu Qingjiu halted in her footsteps.
If Yu Shiwei hadn’t said this, she might not have had much interest in dealing with her.
But this sentence thoroughly fueled the fire in Gu Qingjiu’s heart.
“Yu Shiwei, I’ll be waiting!”
She turned her head and looked at Yu Shiwei with a completely icy gaze.
Everything that happened in her previous lifetime replayed before her eyes.
And these memories transformed into needles, pricking into her, and the blood that trickled reminded her of what had happened back then.
“Regarding your mom framing my adoptive father, I’m not going to let it rest just like that. Sooner or later, I want your entire Yu family to pay the price a thousand times!”
Murderous intent was apparent in her eyes.
That murderous intent made Yu Shiwei tremble momentarily, shrinking into Ye Huinan’s arms in fear.
Even Yu Bao’er was startled to see her like this.
Why did her innocent and adorable Xiao Jiu’er suddenly turn into a ferocious ghost?
Ye Huinan frowned. He had wanted to say “You sure talk big” but that very real threat was as though reminding them that one day this would come true.
Initially, he wasn’t much interested in Yu Shiwei’s affairs. But now, he felt a little curious about this woman with the surname Gu.
After Gu Qingjiu pulled Yu Bao’er away with her, he lowered his head and gazed at the woman in his arms, who despite sounding bold and assured earlier on, was now in a startled state.
Instead of comforting her, he merely arched his lips and asked coldly, “This younger sister of yours is quite interesting. Seems like she’s not what you have made her out to be like. Now that I have developed a bit of an interest in your matters, do you want to confess everything to me honestly, or do you want me to investigate myself?”
Yu Shiwei trembled.
