Translator: 549690339
The eligible daughters of Beijing’s prominent families all knew that the Fifth Lord of Gu was not in good health, and that he led a secluded, mysterious life, wanting nothing to do with women.
Not long ago, rumors circulated that the Fifth Lord of Gu was gravely ill and unlikely to live much longer.
But today, the Gu Junzhu they saw appeared to be in excellent health, ethereal and radiant as the moon, showing no signs of being at death’s door.
Among the men of their suitable age, Gu Junzhu was the most desirable bachelor.
Which young lady from a well-respected family in Beijing wouldn’t want to marry Gu Junzhu?
And yet, now, the reputedly aloof and mysterious Gu Junzhu, who supposedly had no interest in women, was in front of them, flirting with an unknown little girl. How could they bear such a sight?
Only a handful knew about Gu Junzhu’s marriage to Ye Xingbei.
On the day Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei were married, Senior Master Gu set up just two tables and invited a few close acquaintances.
Aside from Senior Master Gu’s close friends, the attendees comprised the trusted subordinates of Senior Master Gu. Acting on his implicit instruction, after partaking in the wedding feast, they sealed their lips and didn’t mention the marriage between Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei.
As a result, the news of Gu Junzhu’s marriage to Ye Xingbei had not yet reached Beijing.
Furthermore, even if the news of their marriage did reach Beijing, as long as they were not openly acknowledged as a married couple, many women would not give up and would want to give it a try.
Xie Motong and Wuhu Wenshi were prime examples of this.
Xie Yunlin, having picked up the hostility towards Ye Xingbei from Xie Motong and Wuhu Wenshi, frowned but didn’t answer Senior Master Xie’s question. Instead, he beckoned Ye Xingbei, “Beibei, come here.”
Ye Xingbei obediently walked over and stopped next to Xie Yunlin.
Xie Yunlin said to Senior Master Xie and Senior Madame Xie, “Grandpa, Grandma, who does she look like?”
Senior Master Xie and Senior Madame Xie knew their grandson was thoughtful and rarely acted without reason.
Without speaking, they carefully examined Ye Xingbei.
Senior Master Xie suddenly turned to Senior Madame Xie, “Doesn’t she resemble you when you were young?”
Senior Madame Xie stared at Ye Xingbei, her eyes welling up with emotion, “Her name is Beibei? Could it be… could she be…”
“Yes, Grandma, you’ve guessed right!” Xie Yunlin, always so cool and reserved, could hardly contain his joy, “Grandpa, Grandma, she’s the same Beibei you held in your arms! She’s my and Xiao Fei’s real little sister, Jiang Nianbei!” “How… how is that possible? Didn’t those from the Jiang Family say that your sister had already died?” Senior Master Xie and Senior Madame Xie were in disbelief, their eyes fixed on Ye Xingbei without blinking.
“It’s true! We’ve done a DNA paternity test!” Xie Yunlin replied, “When Grandpa and Grandma brought me and my brother to Beijing, they weren’t strong enough to fight back. Fearing that Grandpa and Grandma would snatch my sister as well, they took advantage of Jiang Zhengxing’s daughter’s death from a serious illness. They swapped my sister with Jiang Zhengxing and claimed she was dead!
That heartless monster Jiang Zhengxing didn’t want to raise my sister. He abandoned her and took in some random child instead.”
Xie Yunlin recounted in detail the hardships Ye Xingbei had suffered over the past decade or so, causing Senior Master Xie to turn livid with rage, teeth clenched, cursing all the members of the Jiang Family as inhuman.
Senior Madame Xie stared at Ye Xingbei for a while before suddenly pulling her into a tight embrace, weeping with age-old sorrow. “Are you Beibei? Are you Yueyue’s daughter? That damned Jiang Zhengxing, if he didn’t want to raise a child, why didn’t he give her back to me? He abandoned my granddaughter.. He is truly not human!”
