Chapter 122: Perhaps, It’s Just to be Close to Seventh Young Master
Yu Wanqing’s gaze just glanced over her before retracting."Since you’re a friend of Ling Qian, why were you kept outside?"
She took steps towards the courtyard, every stride as elegant as ever: "Come in."
Xia Yinian followed behind her, the two bodyguards naturally did not stop her.
Walking into the courtyard, Yu Wanqing suddenly turned around to look at Xia Yinian: "You said Beicheng told you that you can go to him at any time?"
Xia Yinian bit her lip, feeling suddenly transparent and guilty.
This woman’s gaze, though gentle, was incredibly sharp, making it difficult to lie in front of her.
Yu Wanqing gave a faint smile: "It seems false, but why do you want to meet Beicheng? Is there something you need?"
Xia Yinian pursed her lips, speaking softly: "There is something, but I need to see Uncle before I can discuss it."
She didn’t know the identity of this woman, nor who she was.
The fact that Gu Beicheng was injured was unknown to many in the Gu Family, so she dared not speak recklessly.
Yu Wanqing seemed to disregard her cautious thoughts, stepping towards the direction of the hall.
Gu Beicheng’s courtyard was not small; it took several minutes to walk from the front gate to the hall.
Upon entering, she saw several servants in the hall; someone immediately went to inform Chi He, who came down in person.
"Lady Qing, why are you here?" Chi He appeared surprised.
Yu Wanqing glanced at him with a hint of complaint in her eyes: "Such a major event, how could you not inform me?"
"This..." Chi He didn’t say much, but noticed Xia Yinian’s presence, his expression slightly changing: "Was it you who revealed it?"
"No." Xia Yinian glared at him fiercely, unwilling to be blamed.
Was everything to be blamed on her? Was Chi He being ridiculous? She didn’t even recognize this Lady Qing.
Yu Wanqing became a bit anxious and headed upstairs: "I’m going to see Beicheng."
Chi He immediately followed: "Lady Qing, Seventh Young Master is resting, it may not be convenient..."
"What is so inconvenient about seeing me?" Yu Wanqing didn’t care at all and quickly went upstairs.
Chi He followed behind her, his face full of unease.
As for Xia Yinian, she was left behind in the hall.
Not knowing the identity of that Lady Qing, well, she’s given some time to catch up with Gu Beicheng.
After ten minutes, she naturally went to find Gu Beicheng.
Thus, Xia Yinian sat down on the sofa, the servants offered her tea, and she absently sipped a few mouthfuls.
Only then did she remember she hadn’t had dinner yet, the more she drank, the hungrier she felt, so she put down the cup.
Ten minutes later, Xia Yinian directly went upstairs.
She saw Chi He sending Yu Wanqing out; unexpectedly, the timing was just right.
"Miss Niannian?" Seeing her, Chi He’s expression immediately darkened, "Seventh Young Master is resting, please do not disturb."
Chi He was still angry with her about today’s incident; if not for her, Seventh Young Master would not have been injured.
Yu Wanqing also looked at Xia Yinian, a slight surprise flickered across her gentle features: "So late, is there really something so important that you must speak?"
Moreover, she claimed to be Ling Qian’s friend, shouldn’t such matters be discussed directly with Gu Beicheng by Ling Qian himself?
"I said, I need to see Uncle first before I can talk." Xia Yinian was unwavering.
Yu Wanqing grew a bit displeased; this younger generation seemed too impolite.
Probably, like other girls, she just wanted to get close to Seventh Young Master.
She waved her hand, about to have Chi He send Xia Yinian away, when unexpectedly, the deep and husky voice from inside the room came out: "Let Niannian come in."
