Chapter 151: Having Money and Power Makes You Remarkable
Xia Yinian hurried through her dinner as fast as she could.At last, having tidied everything up and sent it away with the maid, she washed her face in the bathroom before returning to her room, standing in front of Gu Beicheng.
The man sat on the sofa in the room, his long legs crossed in such a dazzling fashion, still exuding a languid and careless demeanor.
Xia Yinian stared at him for quite some time before she finally couldn’t hold back: "Aren’t you going to interrogate me?"
Gu Beicheng glanced at her indifferently and took a sip from his cup without saying a word.
This attitude again! Xia Yinian felt stifled to death.
He himself had said that he wanted to bring her here for questioning, but now, after she had been here for so long, he had not been willing to say a single word about the matter.
Just leaving her hanging like this, what does that mean?
"Uncle, I don’t understand what you mean," Xia Yinian didn’t want to make a fuss, but she felt resentful.
At the Horse Training Ground, he had been completely indifferent, and by now, she no longer hoped that he would be willing to help.
But, apart from seeking his help, she had no other solution.
"Is this the attitude you take when asking for help?" Gu Beicheng’s gaze finally settled seriously on her.
He smiled faintly, with a somewhat ambiguous meaning: "Today, when you were with others, you didn’t have this attitude."
Xia Yinian was somewhat choked with anger; clearly, it was him with the poor attitude, what had she done wrong?
However, both Gu Yinan and Gu Lingqian had said that if she didn’t handle this matter well, it could implicate the entire Xia Family.
After thinking it over, she could only suppress the frustration in her heart and soften her voice: "Then, may I explain today’s events to you now?"
"Weren’t you already explaining outside the stables?" He raised an eyebrow, unconvinced.
There was no need to repeat what had been said; his memory was not so poor that he would forget the morning’s conversation by the afternoon.
Xia Yinian paused, her eyes suddenly widening with a clear and spirited look: "You... you mean you believe me?"
"Did I ever say I believed you?" He just looked at her calmly, neither smiling nor angry.
Xia Yinian bit her lip, her gaze toward him filled with a hint of grievance.
Wasn’t the implication just now that she had already spoken, and he believed her?
What did he mean now, believe her or not?
"I spoke the truth. Gu Ziqi was the first to get physical, for no reason at all."
"Then, you hit back?"
"So what if I did?" Even now, after she had been punished and suffered, Xia Yinian still didn’t think she had done anything wrong.
"Is having money really that impressive? Can wealthy people do whatever they want?"
Taotao just came to earn money by helping, not to sell her life! Why should she be beaten and cursed by her; Taotao hadn’t done anything wrong!
Gu Beicheng stared at her face, slightly flushed with anger, and gave an ambiguous smile with a noncommittal attitude.
"Sometimes, you have to admit, having money and power really does allow you to do whatever you want."
She was no longer a three-year-old child, couldn’t she see the current situation clearly?
Having offended Lady Sun of the Gu Family, having angered Old Master Gu, the Gu Family could easily destroy her, as easily as stomping on an ant.
Meeting his gaze, Xia Yinian suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
Although she scorned Gu Beicheng’s words, she had to admit that what he had just said was true.
If Old Master Gu wanted her dead, or even to wipe out the Xia Family, it really was as simple as killing an ant.
Having money and power, sometimes, really is that impressive!
