Chapter 655: 658 My Ye Xiaobei is also a delicate flower! So tender and fragrant!

Ye Xingbei: “… That’s fair, isn’t it? But are you guessing, or do you actually have proof? Why did Chi Zhen and Shi Qianying have a conflict?”

“It was due to a minor issue,” Gu Junzhu said. “They had an argument in the street over a small matter. Shi Qianying mocked Chi Zhen as a unwanted bastard, resulting in a physical altercation. However, Shi Qianying had many bodyguards with her that day, so Chi Zhen ended up at a disadvantage, grabbed by Shi Qianying’s bodyguards and publicly slapped by Qianying until his face swelled.”

“Sounds like something Shi Qianying would do,” Ye Xingbei sneered. “She’s always like this, prickly and mean-spirited, always thinking she’s better than everyone else. She takes an exaggerated delight in finding faults in others, mocking them so she can highlight her own supposed superiority. It’s ridiculous.”

Gu Junzhu smiled: “Character determines fate, which is why she fell to where she is now.”

“But if that’s the case, shouldn’t Shi Qianying be the one Chi Zhen hates?” Ye Xingbei asked in confusion. “His tactics should have been aimed at Shi Qianying, not Qingqing.”

The door was knocked and tea and juice were brought in.

After taking a sip of his tea, Gu Junzhu slowly commented, “Don’t try to understand the mind of a deviant. If you get it right, you’re not far from being one. Once Chi Yu arrests Chi Zhen and interrogates him, you’ll naturally know the answer. Don’t stress yourself out.”

Ye Xingbei took a sip of his juice, “Will Chi Yu catch Chi Zhen?”

“Yes” Gu Junzhu replied. “Chi Yu is not stupid, he’s just too close to the situation. Once he starts suspecting Chi Zhen, Chi Zhen won’t be able to escape. A great detective once said, ‘Every action leaves a trace’. Even if Chi Zhen is a criminal genius, once someone starts suspecting him, everything he has done will be exposed.”

“Ah!” Ye Xingbei sighed in frustration, propping up his chin. “Why does it have to be this way? If Chi Zhen is really behind all this, then he’s a bad person, and so is Shi Qianying. Wouldn’t it be better if they just turned on each other? Why does Qingqing have to be involved? It’s infuriating!”

“Life can be full of frustrations,” Gu Junzhu casually talked while sipping his tea. “As long as one is alive, there is hope. Qingqing has loving parents and two good brothers. She also met a great doctor like Yue Yaer. These are all her blessings.”

“Once she wakes up, as long as she can learn to put down the things that can hurt her, she can still lead a happy and fulfilling life. As long as she can let go, she remains luckier than most people.”

Ye Xingbei shook his head and sighed: “It sounds so simple, but how easy is it to let go?”

“Didn’t you let go with ease?” Gu Junzhu pinched her cheek. “Despite the Ye Family’s cruel treatment, you’ve been able to let go, haven’t you? I haven’t seen you brooding over it, nor do you have any psychological shadows.”

“Stop using me as a reference!” Ye Xingbei swatted his hand away. “I’m different. I’m like a weed. I’ve experienced all kinds of hardships since I was a kid. I’m strong and not easily defeated. Qingqing, on the other hand, is like a flower nurtured in a greenhouse, pampered and protected. She doesn’t have the same resilience that I have.”

“Who said so?” Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow, moving her onto his lap and burying his face in the crook of her neck. “My Xiao Bei is also a delicate flower! Soft and sweet!”
