Xie Yunlin walked into the living room with Xie Jinfei and Xiang Bingzhi, and greeted Gu Junzhu politely, “Fifth Brother.”
As scions of the most powerful families in Beijing, Xie Yunlin and Gu Junzhu didn’t know each other well, but they had known each other since childhood.
In terms of age, Xie Yunlin was actually a few years older than Gu Junzhu.
But Gu Junzhu was one generation above him.
Xie Yunlin’s grandfather had once served under Gu Junzhu’s father.
Xie Yunlin addressed Gu Junzhu’s father as Grandfather.
So by rights, Xie Yunlin should be calling Gu Junzhu Uncle.
But Gu Junzhu was too young, and Xie Yunlin couldn’t bring himself to say it.
Not only Xie Yunlin couldn’t say it, many young masters who were in the same situation as him also couldn’t bring themselves to say it.
So, it became conventionally agreed that, regardless of whether they were older or younger than Gu Junzhu, everyone addressed him as “Fifth Brother” or “Fifth Master”.
This was better than calling him Uncle!
Given that he was Ye Xingbei’s older brother, Gu Junzhu didn’t make things difficult for him, and pointed at the sofa across him: “Sit.”
Xie Yunlin politely refused, “Fifth Brother, I’m here today with my cousin sister to apologize to you and your wife. I won’t sit down. My younger cousin sister Xiao Zi was impolite last night and offended your wife. Please, Fifth Brother, considering she is young and impulsive, forgive her this time. I’ll get her to apologize to you and your wife!”
Before Gu Junzhu could respond, Xie Yunlin turned to Xiang Bingzhi and scolded coldly, “What are you standing there for? Aren’t you going to apologize to Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law?”
Xiang Bingzhi gritted her teeth, her face full of unwillingness and resentment as she glared at Ye Xingbei.
Last night, she had learned about Ye Xingbei’s background.
A fallen young mistress who got expelled from her own family, and was only favored by Senior Master Gu because of a “lucky encounter,” brought back to Gu Family to be Gu Junzhu’s wife.
The Gu Family was one of the top wealth owners in Beijing. Gu Junzhu’s wedding should have been grand and well-known.
But when Gu Junzhu married Ye Xingbei, it was just a small scale ceremony in a small place like Jiang City, held in just two rooms.
Those who were invited were some disreputable riffraff.
What does that imply?
It shows that the Gu family didn’t rate Ye Xingbei as a daughter-in-law, and that Gu Junzhu’s marriage to Ye Xingbei was only expedient.
Once Gu Junzhu recovers his health, Ye Xingbei will definitely be kicked out. She’s nothing!
If that’s the case, why should she force herself to apologize to Ye Xingbei?
A cheap woman who gave birth to an illegitimate child with a wild man at the age of sixteen and got kicked out of her own home doesn’t deserve her apology.
Unfortunately, her grandfather and maternal-grandfather are like they’ve gone mad, insisting that her eldest cousin brother bring her to the Gu Family to apologize.
She didn’t believe that if she didn’t come, Gu Junzhu would really upset with the Xiang family and Xie family over such a worthless woman who gave birth to an illegitimate child at the age of sixteen.
So what if her parents were taken away for investigation?
It’s just a formality.
As long as her maternal-grandfather and grandfather are here, her parents would quickly be safely released. Nobody would dare to harm them!
All her resentment was written on her face, her gaze towards Ye Xingbei was contemptuous and disdainful, as if she were looking at a pile of filthy garbage.
As soon as she walked in, Xiao Shumiao, who had been fiddling with his game controller, saw her.
The little guy’s face immediately tightened up, and his deep black eyes, like grapes immersed in ice-cold water, stared unblinkingly at her.
Seeing her looking at Ye Xingbei with such contemptuous and disdainful eyes, the little guy exploded before Ye Xingbei could say anything.
He threw the game controller away fiercely, jumped off the couch, and like a small cannon, rushed over and collided into Xiang Bingzhi’s arms..
