Chapter 712: With You (Part 12)
Gu Beicheng’s face showed no expression at all, and even his volume was completely normal, not resembling anger in the slightest.But, his words were like thousands of cold arrows, all shooting towards Xia Chuxue at the same time.
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuxue was so frightened that she went limp: "Seventh Master, what do you mean? What do you mean I pushed Niannian?"
She collapsed onto the ground softly, looking up at the man in front of her with a pitiful and innocent face.
"Seventh Master, I don’t know what you’re talking about, didn’t Niannian go to the pond to play by herself and accidentally fall in?"
"Grandpa and the rest said she fell in by herself..."
"Stop pretending, did you push Miss Niannian into the pond?" Chi He snorted coldly.
If it weren’t for Xia Chuxue still being of use, Chi He would have acted already.
He had already warned this woman, yet she still dared to harm Miss Niannian.
"No." Xia Chuxue immediately waved her hands, "How could I possibly harm Niannian?"
"I’m her sister" was a statement Xia Chuxue swallowed back.
Such words might work in front of others, but clearly, they were useless in front of these two men.
She hadn’t forgotten that just yesterday she had called Chi He to deal with Xia Yinian.
"So you arranged to meet Miss Niannian by the pond and still deny it?" Chi He glared at the woman on the ground.
"I... I just arranged to meet Niannian for a chat, nothing else, I just gave her a few warnings and then I left," Xia Chuxue said in a low voice.
There were no surveillance cameras by the pond, at most, they saw her and Xia Yinian go there, nothing could be determined definitively.
"Warnings?" Gu Beicheng’s voice rang out again.
Xia Chuxue bit her lip and nodded slightly.
"Nian Nian kept pestering the Old Master and I was worried she might disrupt our plans, so..."
"Seventh Master, I truly just gave her a few warnings and then left, I did not push her into the pond, I really didn’t."
Xia Chuxue stood up from the ground, continuously gesturing with her hands.
"Mr. Chi, you must investigate clearly, I really didn’t push Niannian into the pond."
Chi He looked at her, frowning slightly.
This woman wasn’t simple, she had already checked that there were no cameras by the pond before taking action.
"Seventh Master." Chi He shifted his gaze, looking towards Gu Beicheng.
"Yesterday afternoon, Xia Chuxue called me, saying that Miss Niannian was hindering her affairs, asking me to find an opportunity to deal with Miss Niannian."
"At that time, I had already sternly warned her not to touch a hair on Miss Niannian’s head, yet today, an incident still occurred."
Xia Chuxue thought Chi He was speaking up for her, considering everyone still had a cooperative relationship.
With Xia Yinian running into trouble, it seemed quite possible that Seventh Master was losing his rationality.
This time, Xia Chuxue underestimated the dead girl’s status in Seventh Master’s heart.
Thus, she could only place her hope on Chi He, not expecting him to speak like this.
Just as Xia Chuxue stood up, she immediately felt a deadly stillness in the air.
Seventh Master was truly angry, she felt that standing there, she would be melted by his gaze.
"Seventh..."
Xia Chuxue hadn’t finished speaking when Gu Beicheng interrupted her.
"Take her away, let the brothers teach her a lesson in how to behave."
Like a voice coming from hell, Xia Chuxue once again went weak in the knees.
But, this time, she did not fall.
"Yes, Seventh Master." Chi He took the command, taking the nearly collapsed woman and leaving the room.
Gu Beicheng’s cell phone notification sounded, he pulled out his phone and glanced at it, his deep eyes finally showing a hint of gentleness.
