âOkay,â Ye Xinglan nodded, âI agree.â
After all, their uncle was the biological father of Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei, and they were the ones with the most right to make decisions.
Ye Xingbei took out her phone: âThen Iâll contact them, see when they have the time to come over, and we can talk in detail.â
After calling Xie Yunlin, Ye Xingbei didnât say much on the phone, fearing that Xie Yunlin might temporarily lose control of his emotions and make the journey unsafe.
She just said she had a minor issue she wanted to discuss with her two brothers and asked them to help make a decision.
Hearing that his sister needed his counsel, Xie Yunlinâs sense of brotherly pride immediately surged; he stated that he would have his assistant book him a ticket right away to fly over early tomorrow.
Ye Xingbei, fearing his worry, tried to keep her tone casual, and made an effort to appear nonchalant. She told them she wasnât in a rush and they could come whenever they had the time.
However, Xie Yunlin was still anxious to help his sister, and insisted on coming over tomorrow.
After the siblings had chatted for a while longer, Ye Xingbei ended the call.
Ye Xinglan asked, âBig brother and second brother are coming tomorrow?â
Ye Xingbei nodded, âMhm.â
Ye Xinglan got up, âIn that case, contact us when big brother arrives. Weâre going home now.â
Sitting next to the Fifth Lord of Gu made him uncomfortable. He was very eager to get out of here and get as far away from the Fifth Lord of Gu as possible.
Ye Xingbei also rose, trying to convince them to stay: âItâs late already. Brother Lan and Brother Li, why donât you sleep here tonight? We have clean guest rooms.â
Gu Junzhu also rose leisurely, echoing her, âYeah, we have lots of guest rooms. Feel free to stay.â
âNo need,â Ye Xinglan declined their kindness, âI have things to do at home. Iâll contact you tomorrow.â
Ye Xinglan hurriedly left with Ye Xingli in tow.
Standing outside the gate and watching the car carrying Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli gradually disappear into the night, Ye Xingbei turned to Gu Junzhu, âSee, youâve frightened Brother Lan and Brother Li so much they wonât even stay overnight! Youâre scarier than floods and wild beasts!â
âHow is that possible?â Gu Junzhu played innocent, âYe Xinglan is a well-known figure in the business world. How could he possibly be timid?â
He patted Ye Xingbeiâs shoulder, âYe Xiaobei, youâre underestimating Ye Xinglan. Thatâs not good. If he learns that you said heâs timid as a mouse, heâll be upset.â
Ye Xingbei:
When did she ever call her Brother Lan timid as a mouse?
Ye Xingbei pinched him, âYouâre twisting my words! I said youâre scary. I never called my Brother Lan timid!â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Junzhu caught her hand and raised an eyebrow at her, âIâm scary? But you hit and scold me without a second thought. Every time youâre the one being aggressive, while I remain calm. Your arrogance in front of me shows that Iâm not scary at all. So, if itâs not my scariness, then it must be Ye Xinglanâs timidness!â
Ye Xingbei: ââ¦Fifth Lord of Gu, your surname shouldnât be Gu, it should be Chang (frequent), and your name should be Youli (always reasonable). You are Chang Youli (Always Reasonable), and I shouldnât be wasting my breath arguing with you.â
No matter how much she argued, she would never win against him!
Seeing her speechless again brought Gu Junzhu great pleasure. He pinched her cheek, âCome, Iâll take you somewhere that will surprise you!â
âNo,â Ye Xingbei said, âI need to go back and accompany Xiao Shu.â
âXiao Shumiao is with Xiao Yue, and Gu Chi is there too. You donât need to worry..â Gu Junzhu took her hand, âCome, I promise youâll like it!â
