Chapter 1053: Why Should I Stop Them?
Knowing that he was not joking, Xia Yinian bit her lip and couldn’t speak.After a while, she finally parted her thin lips slightly.
"It’s not that I’m unwilling, it’s that I really have no way."
This matter seems easy, but it must be very difficult to accomplish. With so many of the other’s subordinates, what can she do single-handedly?
"If it really doesn’t work, seek help from Ling Qian. Anyway, this matter can only be entrusted to you." Gu Beicheng picked up the chopsticks in front of him.
"You should know that if things are truly as I estimate, Chi He must have suffered as well."
Xia Yinian never thought her uncle would entrust her with such a thing, and it was obvious she was frightened by his words "Chi He must have suffered as well."
"Is it really that serious?" she blinked and asked softly.
"Of course, but you don’t need to worry about Chi He. At worst, he can sleep for a night, but it’s different for me."
Turning back to meet Xia Yinian’s gaze, Gu Beicheng gently pressed his thin lips together, and his voice softened considerably.
"Nian Nian wouldn’t want me to get hurt, right? So I’m entrusting this to you tonight. You should go now, or it might not look good."
Looking at the man in front of her, Xia Yinian finally nodded.
She would discuss it later; it really wasn’t suitable to spend too much time with her uncle now.
The girl contemplated something as she walked outside.
Watching her charming small figure, Gu Beicheng slightly curled his lips and turned back to eating.
The banquet was about to start. Xia Yinian, the Old Madam, and Gu Lingqian left the hall together and appeared at the venue.
Whether genuine or not, everyone spoke highly of Young Master Ling Qian’s fiancée.
However, Gu Beicheng’s words lingered in Xia Yinian’s mind, making her noticeably uneasy.
Her uncle said that Yu Wanqing might drug him tonight, so he told her if he didn’t find her by eleven, she should go save him.
Save him? How on earth would she do that?
Yu Wanqing had moved to the second floor of the main house, on a different side than her room. Her uncle’s room in the main house was on the third floor.
So will they be on the third floor or the second floor tonight? Xia Yinian suddenly realized she had forgotten this important question.
Moreover, today is their engagement day, and they plan to share a room. On what grounds would she stop them?
Yu Wanqing is not simple. If she’s going to drug someone, it won’t be as obvious as Xia Chuxue, easily noticed by her uncle.
Also, because of her expertise in alchemy, it was possible her uncle could be drugged unknowingly.
But how could she save him?
Yu Wanqing has so many people and the entire Yu Family as a backup, also receiving protection from Old Master Gu and Grandma.
While she has nothing, how could she fight her?
Turning her head slightly to glance at the man she held onto, Xia Yinian breathed out lightly.
Her uncle had foresight as well. If she truly couldn’t handle it, she would have to seek help from Brother Ling Qian.
"What’s wrong? You seem absent-minded," Gu Lingqian looked at her gently.
"It’s nothing." Xia Yinian shook her head.
Suddenly, a round of applause and cheers pushed the banquet to its climax, with everyone’s gaze focused on the main entrance of the house.
Yu Wanqing, holding Gu Beicheng’s arm, appeared under the venue’s only spotlight.
The two of them walked slowly along the red carpet.
Yu Wanqing was wearing a pure white evening dress with an off-shoulder design. The semicircular neckline subtly highlighted her chest.
The top was designed to fit perfectly, with tiny diamonds dazzling on the neckline and the golden threads at the edges of the shoulders, making them shine even more brilliantly.
