Chapter 204: He’s Being Too Meddlesome
Chi He never dared to defy Gu Beicheng’s orders.So when Seventh Young Master told him to leave, even though he still had many doubts and didn’t know where Xia Yinian was, he still went out.
Gu Jinghe immediately approached Gu Beicheng, and despite feeling uncomfortable, he still explained with a flushed face.
"Seventh, this time... you really have to help Ziqi, she..."
"Isn’t the person already released at this hour?"
Gu Beicheng’s gaze fell on the laptop, seemingly still busy.
Seeing his current frosty demeanor, if you didn’t go over, you would never imagine that Seventh Young Master’s pants had been pulled down to his ankles.
What difference is there in his current appearance compared to usual?
A breathtakingly handsome face, an indifferent and steady aura, and a calm composure—where is there any sign of abnormality?
But Xia Yinian, kneeling between his legs, felt nervous from the sound of Gu Jinghe’s approaching footsteps, and her palms were sweating profusely.
Her small hands tightly clutched his pants; she didn’t even dare to breathe too hard.
If anyone saw her and Gu Beicheng’s current state, would they believe her if she explained she was merely helping Uncle take off his pants?
The situation now was simply... indescribably ambiguous.
However, Gu Beicheng remained indifferent, his face showing no ripples: "Since she has already returned, how else am I to help?"
"She... Ziqi came out this morning, but now... she’s been locked up again."
"Because she went to complain to the Old Madam, and disturbed her, so the punishment this time is even harsher?"
Gu Beicheng didn’t even lift an eyelid, all his attention seemingly still on the computer.
Gu Jinghe was a little surprised: "You already know?"
He thought that Seventh didn’t care much about family affairs and wouldn’t actively investigate ordinary matters.
Unexpectedly, he had been away from the Gu Family all day and had only returned at this hour, yet he still had a complete grasp of everything related to the Gu Family!
Seventh’s control over the Gu Family was so strict; could it be that he even wanted to manage the Gu Family affairs?
Thinking this, Gu Jinghe felt somewhat uncomfortable inside. Seventh... perhaps was interfering too broadly.
Gu Beicheng just gave a cold snort: "With Gu Ziqi’s temperament, it’s inevitable that she would do this. Is there a need to investigate?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinghe’s feelings suddenly became complicated.
If Seventh didn’t place too many eyes in the family, he would of course be relieved; he had thought too much just now.
However, his daughter’s willfulness was known to everyone, and as her father, he was really feeling a bit... embarrassed.
"Seventh, Ziqi was just wronged and felt too bitter in her heart, that’s why she went to seek comfort from mom. Ziqi had no malice."
Guan Xiaoxue, who had been silent until now, suddenly felt heartache for her daughter upon hearing Gu Beicheng’s tone.
"Seventh, Ziqi is still a child, don’t take it to heart with her, this time..."
"Are you implying that I’m holding a grudge against her?" Gu Beicheng finally lifted his eyelids and looked at her: "I’m not sure what Third Sister-in-law means by this. Am I the one who locked her up?"
"I... I didn’t mean that, Seventh, don’t be angry, I really didn’t mean it!"
Realizing her slip of the tongue, Guan Xiaoxue’s complexion changed, and she immediately apologized: "Seventh, I always say the wrong thing, I’m not articulate, please don’t blame Third Sister-in-law!"
