Chapter 181: Could it be, that man is him?
Guan Xiaoxue felt a tightening in her chest: "Ling Qian, it’s not..."It’s not what it looks like, there really was a man in Xia Yinian’s bed, why won’t he believe her?
"Third Aunt, don’t you think you’re going too far?" Gu Lingqian was radiating a cold aura, forcing Guan Xiaoxue to subconsciously step back.
However, he pressed forward step by step until he had her cornered against the door: "Third Aunt, although you’re my elder, I still hope you understand that my patience has its limits!"
"Ling Qian, I..."
"What’s the matter?" Suddenly, a voice interrupted.
Guan Xiaoxue turned around and was jolted by the sight of Gu Beicheng’s face, an inexplicable feeling washing over her.
It was as if... she had just seen him and heard this voice!
Just now... could it have been him... but no, that’s impossible, how could it be him.
Everyone knows Seventh Young Master is cold and unapproachable, never allowing any woman to get close to him.
How could he possibly fancy a little girl like Xia Yinian? Impossible!
But recently, Gu Beicheng has indeed been showing an unusual favoritism towards Xia Yinian, especially regarding the affair with Gu Ziqi.
Today, it was because of Xia Yinian that Gu Beicheng decided to revisit the issue, resulting in such trouble for Ziqi!
Gu Beicheng and Xia Yinian... Guan Xiaoxue was going mad, if it really was Gu Beicheng, how could she continue this fight?
Before it even began, she had already lost!
In the Gu Family, who would dare to cross Gu Beicheng?
"What’s going on?" Accompanying Gu Beicheng was also Gu Jinghe.
Gu Jinghe looked at Guan Xiaoxue with a complex gaze.
Wasn’t she here to plead for mercy? How come it now appears like they’re quarreling?
The stand-off between Guan Xiaoxue and Gu Lingqian was evident.
Guan Xiaoxue wanted to say something, but upon locking eyes with Gu Beicheng, all her bravado deflated, leaving her unable to utter a word.
Xia Yinian looked at Gu Beicheng and said emotionlessly: "Third Madam wanted me to plead for Gu Ziqi, I refused, and then..."
"Uncle, regarding tonight’s matter, I don’t wish to mention it again, but I also hope that there won’t be a next time."
Gu Lingqian pulled her behind him, his frosty gaze falling upon Guan Xiaoxue.
"Third Aunt, you are a lady of the Gu Family. I hope you won’t forget your status!"
"Ling Qian!" Guan Xiaoxue’s face turned red, obviously indignant, but she dared not say anything.
Gu Beicheng glanced indifferently at the couple and spoke coldly, "Since you still have unresolved issues, discussing matters with father can wait for another day."
He turned and left.
Gu Jinghe was taken aback and hurried after, "Seventh, wait, Seventh..."
But Gu Beicheng walked away without looking back.
That was just his nature, Gu Jinghe had barely persuaded him before, now there was no chance at all.
Gu Jinghe was in agony, and upon encountering Guan Xiaoxue, he felt enraged.
"Look at what you’ve done! Seventh has left!"
"Jinghe, I... I just saw..."
With a bang, before Guan Xiaoxue could finish, the door to Xia Yinian’s room was already closed by Gu Lingqian.
Such a rude gesture; a junior, just like that, shutting his uncle and aunt out.
But even Gu Jinghe could see, his usually gentle and graceful nephew, who seldom lost his temper, was very angry tonight.
He glared at Guan Xiaoxue, his face reddening with anger: "You... you’re really... useless!"
