They shared everything with each other, so Ye Xingbei had already told Yian Jingxue all she could about Gu Junzhu over the phone.
Aside from surprise, Yian Jingxue didn’t react much to the news. Instead, she advised Ye Xingbei that the Fifth Lord of Gu was known as the most handsome man in Beijing. There would be no harm in pursuing it just for his looks.
The two could make do for now and if they could endure with it for a lifetime, that would be ideal. If they couldn’t get along anymore at any point, divorce would always be an option.
After all, Ye Xingbei could have whatever she wanted. Even if she was divorced eighty times, she wouldn’t have to worry about finding someone else. There would be no loss for her.
Having heard Yian Jingxue’s words, Ye Xingbei couldn’t say anything in response.
She knew that she wouldn’t hear any reliable advice from Yian Jingxue.
This girl’s heart was broader than the Pacific Ocean; in her eyes, nothing was more important than life and death.
Soon, it was noontime.
Just before meal time, Yian Jingxue’s second and third uncles arrived with their families.
Both Yian the Second and Yian the Third each had a son and a daughter.
The son of Yian the Second was named Yian Jixue, and the daughter was named Yian Chaoyu.
The son of Yian the Third was named Yian Jiye and the daughter was named Yian Muyu.
Whether it was the family of the second or the third, they were all good- looking, clearly, the powerful genes of Senior Master Yian and Senior Madame Yian were at play.
Despite his old age, Senior Master Yian still carried traces of his youthful handsomeness. He was tall and handsome.
From her photos, it was seen that Senior Madame Yian was a great beauty when she was young.
Yian Jingxue had inherited all the best features of her grandparents, making her the most attractive in the Yian family.
Yian Jingxue had once told Ye Xingbei that of Senior Master Yian’s three sons, the oldest resembled her grandfather most, and she herself looked a lot like her grandmother. So among the three sons, her grandfather favored her father the most and among the grandchildren, he favored her the most.
Ye Xingbei had initially believed this, but after meeting the families of Yian the Second and Yian the Third, she realized this might not be the case.
Senior Master Yian’s fondness for Yian Jingxue and her family was probably because they were generous, kind, and filial.
The families of Yian the Second and Third, though seemingly respectable and well-behaved, made Ye Xingbei uncomfortable within a few minutes of interaction.
The families of Yian the Second and Third looked at her as if she was their deeply hated enemy.
During the meal, the wife of Yian the Second took the lead in provoking. She looked at Yian Jingxue, smiling insincerely and warned, “Xiao Xue, you are still young and innocent towards the world’s treachery. Now that your parents are gone, our uncles and aunts, and your grandfather, are your closest relatives. Don’t let outsiders who pretend to care lead you astray! Those people are after your money and will do anything to deceive you, you must be wary and try not to be conned!”
As she said this, she kept shooting glances at Ye Xingbei, her face filled with scorns.
“Second aunt, aren’t there enough delicious dishes here to keep your mouth busy?” Yian Jingxue looked at her with a forced smile. “I know why you all resent Xingbei—is it because of my will that upon my death, all of my property will be given to Xingbei, without a single penny going to you?”
“Look at what you’re saying, Child!” The wife of Yian the Second cried with rage and her face turned red, “Xiao Xue, I’m your second aunt and my husband is your blood uncle. Why would we harm you? Aren’t we just worried that you will be deceived by someone?”
Yian Jingxue gave a cold laugh, “Second uncle, Second aunt, Third uncle, Third aunt, let’s not beat around the bush. You people have no real ability but try to pretend to be rich outside. Now that you’ve spent all the money grandfather gave you, you’re coveting the money my parents left me…”
