Chapter 262 Retribution for Evil
Chapter 262 Retribution for Evil
In Gu Jie’s eyes, Jenny appears to be a charming and alluring beauty, but in essence, she is a demon wrapped in a beauty’s skin, incessantly humiliating him.
Frightened by her, his already pale face became even more ghostly.
"I’ll talk, I’ll say everything."
Gu Xinyan was taken to the Wanlong Hotel because of Gu Jie.
Ever since Gu Xiangyi gained absolute equity in the Gu Family and replaced Grandfather as the chairman, Gu Chengjun has been nearly scolded to death by his wife Sun Xiaoli, with the two bickering and fighting all day, even getting into a divorce drama.
Gu Jie hence hates Gu Xiangyi, believing everything started because of her, and swore to take revenge on her.
He knows Gu Xiangyi well, understanding she’s a tenacious girl with a strong inner fortitude; to truly hurt her, thus bringing her to a state of deep distress, he must strike at her weakest inner point.
For Gu Xiangyi, her weakest inner point is her sister Gu Xinyan.
However, it’s not easy to harm Gu Xinyan; she spends all day in a wheelchair, rarely going out, making it difficult to even encounter her.
He and Liu Yuxing are good friends; he intentionally let Liu Yuxing tempt Gu Xinyan to Earth Sea for auditions to separate the sisters, thus defeating them individually.
Last time, Gu Jie nearly succeeded, about to make his move at the Wanlong Hotel when Jenny disrupted it by triggering the fire alarm, ruining everything.
Originally, the audition suggestion was a trap set up by Gu Jie, but surprisingly, Gu Xinyan succeeded at the audition, luckily landing the female lead role.
His conspiracy carried out, ended up aiding Gu Xinyan, making him almost vomit blood from anger.
Liu Yuxing, hearing that President Huang chose Gu Xinyan as the lead actress, knew things were complicated, and feared Xu Xiangbei even more, thus told Gu Jie he dared not cooperate against Gu Xinyan anymore.
Gu Jie blamed Liu Yuxing for going back on his word and giving up halfway, thus resenting him too; he came up with a vicious plan, intending to hit two birds with one stone.
While Liu Yuxing and Wenwen were dating at the Wanlong Hotel, he secretly kidnapped Gu Xinyan, pretended to encounter them by chance, and then intoxicated her, planning to throw her onto Liu Yuxing’s bed, calling in the media journalists, exposing the pair of on-screen male and female leads, bringing them ruin.
Unexpectedly, right after notifying the media journalists, he encountered Jenny in the hallway, was dragged into Room 319 by her, and brutally beaten.
Jenny saved Gu Xinyan, but Liu Yuxing wasn’t so lucky, being photographed by journalists who came later, revealing his hotel situation with Wenwen.
Listening to Gu Jie recounting the whole story, Xu Xiangbei furiously kicked him twice, making Gu Jie cry for mercy.
"You brat are truly malicious. If Jenny hadn’t caught you, both sisters of the Gu Family would have suffered terribly because of you. You are scum, harming even your friends. For a heartless and ungenerous person like you, you should only be sent to the police station to ponder in jail."
Hearing that he might be sent to the police station, Gu Jie burst into tears, holding onto Gu Xinyan’s foot: "Cousin, please spare me, I’m not a human being, not a piece of anything. On account of us being relatives, don’t send me to the police station."
Gu Xinyan, always silent, showed a hint of compassion on her face and gently held Xu Xiangbei’s hand.
"Brother Xu, Uncle only has this one son; Sister Jenny has already taught him a lesson, so let’s not call the police to arrest him. After all, we are relatives."
Xu Xiangbei felt helpless; Gu Xinyan was soft-hearted like her sister, even more so than Gu Xiangyi. He furiously kicked Gu Jie again.
"Brat, you ended up like this entirely because of karma. You’re lucky today; if not for Gu Xinyan pleading for you, I’d not only make you go to jail but also have you suffer inside it. Hope you have a conscience and remember Gu Xinyan’s kindness. Get out, I don’t want to see you."
Hearing Xu Xiangbei tell him to get out, Gu Jie felt greatly relieved, scrambling out of Room 319.
Everything returned to square one; everyone sighed a breath in relief.
Xu Xiangbei turned to Ouyang Jiahui: "Miss Ouyang, please take Gu Xinyan back to the apartment. After all the chaos, everyone must be exhausted."
Ouyang Jiahui indeed felt tired, having looked everywhere for Gu Xinyan wearing high heels, climbed stairs in the Wanlong Hotel, expending more energy today than a week’s worth of exercise.
She said a bit troubledly: "But Gu Xinyan’s wheelchair is broken; without it, how can she return? I can’t carry her."
Xu Xiangbei reprimanded Ouyang Jiahui: "If the wheelchair is broken, buy a new one. Go to the front desk and find that beautiful lady to help. Wanlong Hotel will undoubtedly take care of their guests, they’ll buy a new wheelchair for you. Miss Ouyang, use some brains when doing things, instead of only knowing how to do hairstyles."
Seeing Xu Xiangbei reprimanding Ouyang Jiahui, Jenny burst into laughter.
Reprimanded by Xu Xiangbei, Ouyang Jiahui felt helpless.
Nominally, Xu Xiangbei was her fourth uncle; she dared not get angry at him for not taking care of Gu Xinyan, especially when Jenny dared to laugh at her; Ouyang Jiahui wouldn’t stand for it.
She glared at Jenny: "Cheeky girl, what are you laughing at? What’s so funny? Laugh again, and I’ll make you taste my Dragon Tiger Divine Fist."
Jenny sneered: "Hmph, with your third-rate skills against me? How many moves of Dragon Tiger Divine Fist do you know?"
"Even third-rate skills are stronger than you, not convinced? Bring it on."
Jenny rolled up her sleeves: "Heck, bring it on, who’s afraid? Don’t think you’re amazing just because you’re the granddaughter of the Ouyang Family."
Xu Xiangbei frowned: "Ladies, can you calm down a bit? Two girls arguing and fighting, what does it look like? Learn from Young Master Dongfang, see how boys are even more civilized than you girls."
Gu Xinyan, like a kitten, asked Xu Xiangbei: "Won’t you go back with us? I want to tell you something."
Xu Xiangbei gently patted Gu Xinyan’s shoulder, feeling her fragrant shoulder warm and soft; he smiled and said: "I haven’t had lunch yet. Jenny helped us so much, at least let me treat her to a meal, then I’ll go back."
Ouyang Jiahui and the others said goodbye one by one to Xu Xiangbei, leaving only Xu Xiangbei and Jenny.
At Wanlong Western Restaurant, Xu Xiangbei ate steak heartily; Australian baby bone steak was tender and juicy, crispy outside and tender inside, very delicious.
Having not eaten a single meal all noon, Xu Xiangbei was starving; now relishing the meal, feeling especially pleasant and comfortable.
Opposite him sat Jenny, elegantly stirring coffee with a small silver spoon.
Xu Xiangbei pushed his phone towards Jenny, showing a photo taken by Dongfang Bai from surveillance.
A man wearing a baseball cap was lifting Gu Xinyan and her wheelchair into a van, and at the corner of a luxury villa, a shadow was hiding by the wall, only half a figure revealed.
Though the picture appeared blurry, it clearly showed a petite figure, hair tied at the back, wearing a black rider leather outfit, identifiable as Jenny.
