Chapter 394: Chapter 395: It Must Be for the Inheritance!
She racked her brains to keep the peace, “Don’t just stand there, sit down, sit down… have some tea, have tea, Brother Li have some fruit, taste this pear, it’s amazingly sweet and incredibly delicious.”
She led Gu Junzhu to sit down on the sofa and enthusiastically handed a pear to Ye Xingli.
Just as Ye Xingli reached out to take it, Gu Junzhu intercepted it, “Let me cut it for you!”
The Fifth Lord of Gu, with a pear in one hand and a fruit knife in the other, cut the pear into three pieces, serving Ye Xinglan, Ye Xingli, and Ye Xingbei.
Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli, who took the pear sliced by the Fifth Lord of Gu, felt unbelievably pampered.
A pear hand-cut by the Fifth Lord of Gu!
There were probably only a few people in this world who got such a treatment.
Although the Fifth Lord of Gu can be domineering at times, he really is thoughtful when it counts.
Ye Xingbei was also moved.
She didn’t expect this guy to be so considerate.
Moved, she cut her pear in half and gave one half to Gu Junzhu: “You should also try, this pear is really delicious, sweet and fragrant, it tastes so good!”
“Eat it yourself,” Gu Junzhu blocked her hand holding the pear, picked up another one from the fruit plate, and looked at her, saying solemnly: “You can’t share a pear, sharing a pear means parting ways, we can’t part ways, so I will eat this one.”
Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli, who were eating the pear shared by Ye Xingbei, were left speechless.
Ye Xingbei also felt lost for words.
She should have known better than to think so highly of the Fifth Lord of Gu!
What on earth was she just feeling moved about?
Gu Chi, who was standing at the side waiting for orders, was holding his laughter so hard he was about to go crazy.
Ye Xinglan’s mouth twitched, hesitated for a moment, then calmly finished the third of the pear.
Oh well.
You can’t unspill spilt water.
Beibei is now the wife of the Fifth Lord of Gu and they ought not to drift apart.
He, as the sibling of Beibei, naturally doesn’t have to be so particular about everything.
If parting ways is required, then so be it.
After finishing the pear and washing their hands, everyone’s mood eased considerably. They sat down and carried on their conversation.
Ye Xingbei looked worriedly at Ye Xinglan, “So we still can’t find any evidence that Jiang Zhengxing plotted against my second uncle?”
Ye Xinglan shook his head, his expression abruptly becoming cold, “Can’t find it… It’s been too long. My father… your second uncle had been suffering from amnesia for many years. It’s only recently that he began to recall his past, and the memories are not complete. Many things are missing. The suspicion against Jiang Zhengxing has always been just that – a suspicion. We have yet to find solid evidence.”
Ye Xingli expressed indignation, “That beast! If we had evidence, we would have put him in jail long ago! Every time I see him frolicking outside, I wish I could tear him apart myself!”
Gu Junzhu, legs crossed and lazily seated, suddenly said, “Have you ever wondered why Jiang Zhengxing is so malicious, causing harm to your father first and then to Beibei’s father?”
“What else could it be?” Ye Xingli sneered, spitting out resentfully: “It must be for the family fortune! There are only three sons in the Jiang Family. If my eldest uncle and my father were dead, the Jiang Family would only have Jiang Zhengxing left, so he would inherit all of the Jiang Family’s wealth!”
Gu Junzhu turned his head to look at Ye Xingbei, “Beibei, do you still remember the story about Yu Jingyuan’s family that I told you?”
Yu Jingyuan’s family’s issue?
Ye Xingbei’s heart jumped, her eyes widened in surprise, “Are you saying… my father and my second uncle, are not my grandfather’s biological sons?” “That’s impossible!” Ye Xinglan said decisively: “I’ve checked everything about the Jiang Family long ago. My father, my eldest uncle, and Jiang Zhengxing are all the biological sons of my grandparents. There’s absolutely no room for error!”
