Gu Junzhu sneered, “Brother Xiang, I’m truly curious, how could Uncle Xiang, who is upright and aboveboard his whole life, give birth to a son like you?”
“Look at all these beautiful and righteous words you’re saying, they sound very dignified! But what I don’t understand is, if you suspect my wife is an assassin, out to assassinate Uncle Xiang, then why would you let him take the medicine brought by my wife?”
“Aren’t you afraid that the medicine is poison, that it could poison Uncle Xiang to death?”
The anger on Xiang Jiechao’s face froze for a moment, before he said: “Dr. Lo has checked the medicine, there is no problem.”
“Oh,” Gu Junzhu glanced at Dr. Lo, with a smirk, “Dr. Lo is so competent, why didn’t he save Uncle Xiang himself? Why did he use the medicine brought by my wife?”
Xiang Jiechao was at a loss for words, unsure of how to defend himself.
Shao Bingyi, who had been silent all along, looked at Gu Junzhu and suddenly spoke in a cutesy tone: “Fifth Brother, please don’t pressure my uncle any longer, he’s so worried about my grandfather that he acted hastily and fired that shot! Also, my uncle and I had no idea that you were married, how would we know you have a wife?”
As she spoke, she glanced at Ye Xingbei, hardly concealing her jealousy.
She used to think that this girl had the temperament of a young miss but the fate of a handmaid, full of ambition but destined to ruin. Now she realized that this girl was not only gorgeous, but also incredibly lucky to be involved with the Fifth Lord of Gu.
But Shao Bingyi refused to believe that Ye Xingbei was Gu Junzhu’s rightfully wedded wife.
After all, if the Gu Family were to welcome a daughter-in-law, they would certainly host a grand celebration, brimming with high-ranking guests and celebrities. Her grandfather would definitely receive an invitation.
But they hadn’t heard a thing, which proved that this so-called “wife” was just a temporary figure.
Just like the most notorious second-generation rich in the country, who changed girlfriends every two or three months.
Every time he dated someone, they would appear sweet and in love, making onlookers believe that it was true love, that they were destined for each other.
Each of his girlfriends also thought that they were unique, irresistible and unlike his previous women, that they were the ones who could make this playboy settle down and enter wedded bliss.
But a few months later, the old girlfriend would exit, and a new one would take her place.
The rich second generation started dating in his teens and frequently changed partners. Now, more than a decade has passed, and the so-called “final woman” has yet to appear.
Shao Bingyi didn’t believe that this woman before her, would be Gu Junzhu’s “final woman”.
Seeing her malicious gaze, Xiao Shumiao’s eyes went wide as she tried to look fierce and said, “Don’t bully Mom! You’re also bad! You scolded Mom, and you even pointed a gun at Mom’ s head!”
Shao Bingyi’s face changed, and the charming smile she deliberately put on in front of Gu Junzhu nearly shattered.
Gu Junzhu looked at her, the corner of his lips raised in a smirk, “Miss Shao, are you so devoted to your sister Xiang Bingzhi that you think she’s lonely in jail and want to accompany her?”
“No, no, no…” Shao Bingyi’s face drained of color, she retreated a few steps back, stuttering, “Fif…Fifth Brother, it’s all a misunderstanding! I didn’t know she was your wife, I… I only did it to protect my grandfather’s safety…”
Under Gu Junzhu’s mocking gaze, her voice trembled so much that she couldn’t finish her sentence.
Just when Xiang Jiechao and Shao Bingyi were feeling utterly embarrassed and uncomfortable under Gu Junzhu’s merciless teasing, a weary, ancient voice came from behind the huge rock beside them, “Xiao Zhu, come here.”
