Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly

Chapter 180 Please Don’t Go Too Far

Gu Lingqian’s gaze fell upon Xia Yinian.Xia Yinian just looked at him, silent.

Guan Xiaoxue thought she would explain herself—she had a bunch of questions waiting to interrogate her.

But Xia Yinian didn’t say a word, which instead made Guan Xiaoxue at a loss for what to say.

There was a feeling of having a lot to say, yet no chance to say any of it.

"Third Aunt, to catch a thief you need to catch them dirty-handed. Baseless accusations like this are simply slander."

Xia Yinian stayed silent. Gu Lingqian’s heart suddenly felt a pang of distress. Was the girl scared witless?

Had Guan Xiaoxue gone too far in her attempt to avenge Gu Ziqi?

"Third Aunt, do you realize how serious this accusation you’re making is?"

"She really cheated, I saw it with my own eyes!" Guan Xiaoxue couldn’t possibly just let it go—she had truly seen it!

"Ling Qian, Xia Yinian is not a good person, I really saw her cheating, I stake my reputation on it!"

Guan Xiaoxue wanted to grab Gu Lingqian’s sleeve, only to realize that this action was not quite appropriate.

"Ling Qian, she really has another man, you must believe me!"

Gu Lingqian responded indifferently: "Third Aunt, it’s already very late, please go back and rest."

"Ling Qian, do you truly not wish to believe me? I’m your Third Aunt!"

Guan Xiaoxue stared at Xia Yinian, so furious that her face was turning pale: "Xia Yinian, how can you be so shameless to cheat right under the roof of the Gu Family?"

"This act of tarnishing the Gu Family’s reputation, I will never forgive you!" She grabbed Xia Yinian’s wrist and dragged her towards the exit.

"Let’s go, I’m taking you to see dad to have you judged! Move!"

Xia Yinian was pulled forward for a few steps when another large palm landed on Guan Xiaoxue’s wrist.

With a light pinch from Gu Lingqian, Guan Xiaoxue immediately felt a numbness in her hand and subconsciously let go of Xia Yinian.

"Ling Qian, you... you raised your hand against me?" Guan Xiaoxue looked incredulous.

She was his elder! To think he laid hands on her for that adulterous woman!

Gu Lingqian’s expression remained calm, his voice detached: "Third Aunt, please don’t go too far."

"You... still say I’m the one who’s gone too far!" Guan Xiaoxue really wanted to slap him awake.

"I’m catching a cheater for you, and instead of thanking me, you say that I’m the one who’s gone too far! This vile girl has a man, they were just in bed..."

"Why is Third Aunt looking for Nian Nian so late at night?" Gu Lingqian did not want to listen any further.

If she were not the wife of his uncle, not his Third Aunt, she might have been thrown down from the second floor by him by now.

An adultery accusation with no proof is slander, a deliberate attempt to stir discord between him and Xia Yinian.

If Xia Yinian was indeed the one he cherished, then Third Aunt’s actions amounted to a wicked witch trying to tear apart their marriage.

"I..." Guan Xiaoxue was at a loss for words.

"She came to me, asking me to plead with the master to let Gu Ziqi go back to rest."

Xia Yinian let out a sigh; truthfully, she was really not used to lying. So as for Guan Xiaoxue’s claim that she was cheating, she didn’t bother to explain.

However, what happened with Guan Xiaoxue was indeed true.

"I refused." She added.

Gu Lingqian’s fierce gaze instantly landed on Guan Xiaoxue’s face.

Guan Xiaoxue was taken aback, suddenly feeling a sense of guilt: "Ling Qian, that, I... I was just worried about Ziqi, her health isn’t good..."

Gu Lingqian clenched his fist, anger rising in his eyes: "So after Nian Nian refused you, you decided to slander her?"
