The eligible daughters of Beijingâs prominent families all knew that the Fifth Lord of Gu was not in good health, and that he led a secluded, mysterious life, wanting nothing to do with women.
Not long ago, rumors circulated that the Fifth Lord of Gu was gravely ill and unlikely to live much longer.
But today, the Gu Junzhu they saw appeared to be in excellent health, ethereal and radiant as the moon, showing no signs of being at deathâs door.
Among the men of their suitable age, Gu Junzhu was the most desirable bachelor.
Which young lady from a well-respected family in Beijing wouldnât want to marry Gu Junzhu?
And yet, now, the reputedly aloof and mysterious Gu Junzhu, who supposedly had no interest in women, was in front of them, flirting with an unknown little girl. How could they bear such a sight?
Only a handful knew about Gu Junzhuâs marriage to Ye Xingbei.
On the day Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei were married, Senior Master Gu set up just two tables and invited a few close acquaintances.
Aside from Senior Master Guâs close friends, the attendees comprised the trusted subordinates of Senior Master Gu. Acting on his implicit instruction, after partaking in the wedding feast, they sealed their lips and didnât mention the marriage between Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei.
As a result, the news of Gu Junzhuâs marriage to Ye Xingbei had not yet reached Beijing.
Furthermore, even if the news of their marriage did reach Beijing, as long as they were not openly acknowledged as a married couple, many women would not give up and would want to give it a try.
Xie Motong and Wuhu Wenshi were prime examples of this.
Xie Yunlin, having picked up the hostility towards Ye Xingbei from Xie Motong and Wuhu Wenshi, frowned but didnât answer Senior Master Xieâs question. Instead, he beckoned Ye Xingbei, âBeibei, come here.â
Ye Xingbei obediently walked over and stopped next to Xie Yunlin.
Xie Yunlin said to Senior Master Xie and Senior Madame Xie, âGrandpa, Grandma, who does she look like?â
Senior Master Xie and Senior Madame Xie knew their grandson was thoughtful and rarely acted without reason.
Without speaking, they carefully examined Ye Xingbei.
Senior Master Xie suddenly turned to Senior Madame Xie, âDoesnât she resemble you when you were young?â
Senior Madame Xie stared at Ye Xingbei, her eyes welling up with emotion, âHer name is Beibei? Could it be⦠could she beâ¦â
âYes, Grandma, youâve guessed right!â Xie Yunlin, always so cool and reserved, could hardly contain his joy, âGrandpa, Grandma, sheâs the same Beibei you held in your arms! Sheâs my and Xiao Feiâs real little sister, Jiang Nianbei!â âHow⦠how is that possible? Didnât those from the Jiang Family say that your sister had already died?â Senior Master Xie and Senior Madame Xie were in disbelief, their eyes fixed on Ye Xingbei without blinking.
âItâs true! Weâve done a DNA paternity test!â Xie Yunlin replied, âWhen Grandpa and Grandma brought me and my brother to Beijing, they werenât strong enough to fight back. Fearing that Grandpa and Grandma would snatch my sister as well, they took advantage of Jiang Zhengxingâs daughterâs death from a serious illness. They swapped my sister with Jiang Zhengxing and claimed she was dead!
That heartless monster Jiang Zhengxing didnât want to raise my sister. He abandoned her and took in some random child instead.â
Xie Yunlin recounted in detail the hardships Ye Xingbei had suffered over the past decade or so, causing Senior Master Xie to turn livid with rage, teeth clenched, cursing all the members of the Jiang Family as inhuman.
Senior Madame Xie stared at Ye Xingbei for a while before suddenly pulling her into a tight embrace, weeping with age-old sorrow. âAre you Beibei? Are you Yueyueâs daughter? That damned Jiang Zhengxing, if he didnât want to raise a child, why didnât he give her back to me? He abandoned my granddaughter.. He is truly not human!â
