Ye Xingbei got into the role quickly, using a tone of a senior asking questions to a junior.
Being interrogated by a girl seven years younger than her, and being asked about the thing she was most guilty and afraid of, Bai Mengluan felt ice-cold all over, with her fingertips trembling.
She never expected that, back then, she had schemed to steal Gu Junzhu’s seed, intending to better her own status through her children and marry Gu Junzhu, but an accident occurred and she didn’t get married.
Now, it turned out, Ye Xingbei had become Gu Junzhu’s wife.
And she… after all her plots and schemes, had only married an illegitimate child without any inheritance rights!
God is really unfair!
She hid the fear and resentment in her heart, forcing a smile, “Beibei, a year ago, I suffered a severe injury and forgot many things. What child are you talking about? I can’t remember.”
“The child you accused of being fathered by a stranger!” Ye Xingbei’s gaze was as cold as an arrow, firmly fixed on her, “You dumped the child on me and ran off. I took care of that child for two days, looking everywhere for you, intending to give the child back to you. But before I could find you, the Jiang Family suddenly stormed the place I was renting. They said that the child was my illegitimate child, claimed that I had ruined their family’s reputation, and drove me out of the Jiang Family, banishing me abroad!”
She clenched her teeth, enduring the bitterness in her eyes and hatred in her heart, “That year, I was only sixteen, forced to leave my brother and exiled to a foreign land I had never been to, I survived on my own.”
The hardships she went through can be imagined.
Bai Mengluan seemed scared by her words, tears welling up in her eyes, “I’m… I’m sorry, Beibei, have you made a mistake? I don’t know what child you’re talking about. I wouldn’t do that kind of thing…”
“Aunt,” Gu Yuanfang suddenly stood up, speaking respectfully: “You may be tired from traveling and mistaken about events. Mengmeng is not feeling well, I’ll take her home first.”
He took Bai Mengluan’s hand and led her away.
Ye Xingbei watched their retreating figures, her teeth clenched.
Leave?
You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.
Now, she was back.
Those who had harmed her, she would settle the scores one by one.
Every debt that was owed to her, she would collect penny by penny!
It was only when she could no longer see the backs of Gu Yuanfang and Bai Mengluan that she withdrew her gaze and kicked Gu Junzhu’s chair, “Come up with a solution, let’s get a divorce right away.”
Gu Junzhu slowly finished the last sip of his porridge, elegantly wiped his lips, “Don’t daydream. There’s no changing what my father’s set his mind to.”
Ye Xingbei was furious.
She was both shocked and angered. She was too angry to eat, while this man treated her anger as a side show to his meal, eating as if nothing had happened!
Ye Xingbei slammed her hand on the table in anger, “Anyway, I don’t acknowledge you as my husband, I’m moving out!”
“Fine,” Gu Junzhu glanced at her, “I don’t want to acknowledge you as my wife either, I welcome you to move out!”
Ye Xingbei was choked with anger, but she had no plans, she slammed the table again, and turned to leave.
“Remember to come back two days later,” Gu Junzhu’s pleasing voice came from behind as if striking a beautiful jade, “On the third day of our marriage, I have to accompany you to visit your parents.”
Ye Xingbei stumbled for a moment, doubting her ears, turning disbelievingly to look at him, “Home visit? Since neither of us recognize this marriage, why are you accompanying me for a home visit two days from now?”
“It’s a custom in Jiang City. If a new bride doesn’t visit her parents, bad luck will befall both the groom’s family and bride’s family,” Gu Junzhu made beckoning gestures with his fingers, from the darkness a person emerged and came up behind him, pushing his wheelchair, “If you’re not afraid that my father will tie you up and send you to Jiang Family to embarrass yourself, you can do as you like!”
“You…” Ye Xingbei was too angry to utter a complete sentence.
This man… he really is sick!
But he’s not terminally ill, he’s neurotic!

An hour later.
Xingzong International Entertainment Group Jiang City branch.
Ye Xingli, the younger brother of the Sect Leader of Xingzong International, stood behind a large office desk yelling at Ye Xingbei’s three bodyguards, “Useless! All of you are useless! To prevent any mishaps with Beibei, I specially sent the three of you to protect her, yet you actually managed to lose her! Wait for my brother to break your legs!”
The three heavily-built men lowered their heads, a look of shame written all over their faces.
Yesterday, Ye Xingbei got into a car belonging to the Jiang Family, and they followed behind her in a car driven by Jiang Family security.
They did not know how, but they were inexplicably drowsy and soon fell asleep.
When they woke up in the morning, they found themselves sleeping in a hotel.
After asking the front desk, it was informed that they had been brought by the Jiang Family, and the room charge had already been paid.
They immediately went to the Jiang Family to find Ye Xingbei.
However, they were stopped at the front door.
They were informed that Ye Xingbei was reconnecting with her family and did not receive visitors.
They were visitors?
Fearing a confrontation at Ye Xingbei’s home, they reluctantly went to report to Ye Xingli.
Quite unexpectedly, a scolding session ensued.
Ye Xingli grabbed his car keys and strode out, “Go round up some people quickly. Beibei is Xingzong’s cash cow. If anything happens to Beibei, just wait for my brother to skin you!”
