Chapter 399: Chapter 400: Guarantee You’ll Like It
“Okay,” Ye Xinglan nodded, “I agree.”
After all, their uncle was the biological father of Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei, and they were the ones with the most right to make decisions.
Ye Xingbei took out her phone: “Then I’ll contact them, see when they have the time to come over, and we can talk in detail.”
After calling Xie Yunlin, Ye Xingbei didn’t say much on the phone, fearing that Xie Yunlin might temporarily lose control of his emotions and make the journey unsafe.
She just said she had a minor issue she wanted to discuss with her two brothers and asked them to help make a decision.
Hearing that his sister needed his counsel, Xie Yunlin’s sense of brotherly pride immediately surged; he stated that he would have his assistant book him a ticket right away to fly over early tomorrow.
Ye Xingbei, fearing his worry, tried to keep her tone casual, and made an effort to appear nonchalant. She told them she wasn’t in a rush and they could come whenever they had the time.
However, Xie Yunlin was still anxious to help his sister, and insisted on coming over tomorrow.
After the siblings had chatted for a while longer, Ye Xingbei ended the call.
Ye Xinglan asked, “Big brother and second brother are coming tomorrow?”
Ye Xingbei nodded, “Mhm.”
Ye Xinglan got up, “In that case, contact us when big brother arrives. We’re going home now.”
Sitting next to the Fifth Lord of Gu made him uncomfortable. He was very eager to get out of here and get as far away from the Fifth Lord of Gu as possible.
Ye Xingbei also rose, trying to convince them to stay: “It’s late already. Brother Lan and Brother Li, why don’t you sleep here tonight? We have clean guest rooms.”
Gu Junzhu also rose leisurely, echoing her, “Yeah, we have lots of guest rooms. Feel free to stay.”
“No need,” Ye Xinglan declined their kindness, “I have things to do at home. I’ll contact you tomorrow.”
Ye Xinglan hurriedly left with Ye Xingli in tow.
Standing outside the gate and watching the car carrying Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli gradually disappear into the night, Ye Xingbei turned to Gu Junzhu, “See, you’ve frightened Brother Lan and Brother Li so much they won’t even stay overnight! You’re scarier than floods and wild beasts!”
“How is that possible?” Gu Junzhu played innocent, “Ye Xinglan is a well-known figure in the business world. How could he possibly be timid?”
He patted Ye Xingbei’s shoulder, “Ye Xiaobei, you’re underestimating Ye Xinglan. That’s not good. If he learns that you said he’s timid as a mouse, he’ll be upset.”
Ye Xingbei:
When did she ever call her Brother Lan timid as a mouse?
Ye Xingbei pinched him, “You’re twisting my words! I said you’re scary. I never called my Brother Lan timid!”
Gu Junzhu caught her hand and raised an eyebrow at her, “I’m scary? But you hit and scold me without a second thought. Every time you’re the one being aggressive, while I remain calm. Your arrogance in front of me shows that I’m not scary at all. So, if it’s not my scariness, then it must be Ye Xinglan’s timidness!”
Ye Xingbei: “…Fifth Lord of Gu, your surname shouldn’t be Gu, it should be Chang (frequent), and your name should be Youli (always reasonable). You are Chang Youli (Always Reasonable), and I shouldn’t be wasting my breath arguing with you.”
No matter how much she argued, she would never win against him!
Seeing her speechless again brought Gu Junzhu great pleasure. He pinched her cheek, “Come, I’ll take you somewhere that will surprise you!”
“No,” Ye Xingbei said, “I need to go back and accompany Xiao Shu.”
“Xiao Shumiao is with Xiao Yue, and Gu Chi is there too. You don’t need to worry..” Gu Junzhu took her hand, “Come, I promise you’ll like it!”
