Chapter 517: Chapter 518: Two Hundred and Five
“Impossible!” Ye Xingli said urgently, “Beibei, don’t utter such harsh words, I promise, Brother Lan loves you…”
Ye Xingbei cut him off: “Brother Li, his way of loving me is too special. It leaves me heartbroken and exhausted. Brother Li, I don’t want to discuss this issue anymore, you and Brother Lan don’t need to worry about Shi Qianying’s affairs anymore.”
“At the very least, you can’t sever ties with our family!” Ye Xingli’s voice became very aggrieved: “Even if Brother Lan offended you, I didn’t! Beibei, you know how much I dote on you, how could you bear to sever ties with me?”
“Also, about you being the daughter of our eldest uncle, we haven’t told dad yet. Dad’s health has improved a bit recently, and we’re planning to take the opportunity to tell him this good news. If you sever ties with the family at this juncture, and it upsets dad so much that something happens, what will we do? Beibei, I beg you, you’re the best…”
He dragged his words, even starting to act spoiled.
Gu Junzhu found it irritating. He took Ye Xingbei’s phone out of her hand and rebuked, “Ye Xingli, is this how you talk to my wife? Do you have any sense of your responsibility as a man? You’ve lost all dignity!”
Ye Xingli’s spirits sagged, “Who needs dignity when I’m about to lose my sister? I don’t need it, no need! As long as Beibei agrees not to cut ties with me, I’ll even go streaking if it takes!”
The Fifth Lord of Gu sneered even more: “Who wants to see you streaking? Aren’t you afraid of poking your eyes out?”
Ye Xingbei: “…Enough from both of you!”
Exhausted physically and mentally, Ye Xingbei rubbed her forehead and grabbed the phone again: “Brother Li, I can agree not to sever ties with you, but I have one request.”
Ye Xingli eagerly said: “Good sis, tell me, not just one, even if it’s hundreds or thousands, as long as I can do it, I promise!”
Gu Junzhu smirked, “That goes without saying! Only when you commit to doing something that you can’t, shows sincerity.”
Ye Xingbei covered his mouth with one hand while clutching the phone tightly with the other: “My request is simple. Leave the conflict between me and Shi Qianying to myself, and both of you shouldn’t interfere. Of course…”
She curled her lips in a derisive smirk, “If Brother Lan insists on helping Shi Qianying, I don’t mind.”
“That’s not acceptable!” Ye Xingli panicked: “Beibei, Shi Qianying is the second young lady of the Shi family, she has money and connections. Without me and Brother Lan’s help, you’ll be at a disadvantage!”
Gu Junzhu laughed, “Beibei doesn’t need money or connections, having me is enough! You focus on worrying about Shi Qianying instead.”
Ye Xingli: “…”
That sounded very reasonable!
No.
Wait.
More than reasonable, it’s simply irrefutable!
He began to sympathize with Shi Qianying already.
In the past, Shi Qianying loved bullying Beibei, Beibei wouldn’t lower herself to argue, making her think Beibei was an easy target.
Well, now she’s in for it, she’s kicked an iron plate.
With the Fifth Lord of Gu stepping in, even thinking about it, he pitied Shi Qianying.
Considering that Shi Qianying was going to have bad luck, his mood lightened, and his tone became more relaxed, “Alright, Beibei, as long as you know that I love you, there’s no need to sever ties. If Fifth Brother is there, and you don’t want me to interfere, I won’t. If you need anything, just give me a call. Beibei, Brother Li is on your side, Brother Li will always love you!”
The Fifth Lord of Gu chuckled, sending him three words in a cool and detached manner: “Dumbass!”
