“You’re right, perhaps Yan is still mad now, or why won’t he see me? I can’t rush this, I can’t rush this, or things will get worse if he finds me annoying.” Hua Feifei’s eyes lit up as though she was enlightened. “Yes, you can hardly retain your composure now. Grandma must’ve asked you to return because she thinks you’re a better match for Big Brother Xing. As for Gu Xi, who’s only a daughter from a small family, she naturally isn’t qualified to be the Xing family’s matriarch. Sister Feifei, it’s up to you now,” Ruan Meng’er responded. “Really?” Hua Feifei was suddenly excited. Back then, she was only the daughter of a common family. Due to her good looks and her eloquence, she was very likable and was a popular figure in school. Hua Feifei joined the student council as an excellent student, which was where she met Xing Beiyan, the council’s president at that time. Xing Beiyan was the most handsome and the most charming man Hua Feifei had ever met in her life, and her heart be
“Sister Feifei, it’s great that you’ve figured it out. Call me if you need anything, Grandma and I will help you as much as we can.” Ruan Meng’er nodded with a big smile. Following that, Hua Feifei left at ease. When Ruan Meng’er looked away, she took a sip of her coffee and had a meaningful look in her eyes. * “Chief Gu, our people got beaten up!” On the other hand, Gu Xi had just arrived at Xing Beiyan’s office. Her seat had not even turned warm when her company’s vice general manager called her. Gu Xi’s face changed right away. She quickly asked for the hospital’s address, then said that she would head there immediately and hung up. “What’s wrong?” The man, who had been checking on her every three seconds even though he was busy, looked up. “Something happened. Darling, I can’t have lunch with you anymore, I need to return to my company.” Gu Xi stood up and looked at him apologetically, but had a cold expression on her face. “What is it?” Xing Beiyan could tell from
“Darling, I’ll make a trip to my company for a while, you should go back first,” Gu Xi said hesitantly when she noticed that Xing Beiyan was still going to follow her. “Hmm?” Xing Beiyan the CEO somehow sensed from her words that he was a burden to her, so he looked unhappy. “Muah~ Be good, I’ll just go back to tell the others to be more careful, and I’ll go find you very soon.” Gu Xi’s eyes wandered around when she spoke as she dared not look at him. ‘I can tell at one glance that this little fella is lying.’ That said, Xing Beiyan did not expose her. He tapped the side of his face with his finger, which was a self-explanatory move. Gu Xi curled her lips into a smile, then went closer to him to plant a kiss. Following that, they parted ways. After seeing her leave, Xing Beiyan rubbed the spot on his face that was kissed while retrieving his handphone. “Find out who’s targeting Beibei Entertainment lately.” ‘Since Xixi wants to solve it on her own, I shouldn’t stop her.
A bullet was shot in Gu Xi’s direction just as she entered, but she was fast enough to dodge it. Gunshots filled the air as people from both sides were having a shootout. She happened to have entered during the moment. Fortunately, they did not notice her breaking in. Gu Xi quickly went into a small alley at the side to hide and only walked out again when those people were gone. There were other people who walked out of the dark alley too. She figured that they were also there to avoid being a victim of a misfire. Corpses and traces of blood were seen everywhere, but everyone looked numb as though they were already used to it, where they simply left and minded their own business. Gu Xi followed a stream of people to a large-scaled trade market. It was called a market but was actually just a place similar to an underpass. Strange bottles and cans were laid out on the floor by the vendors around, and the place was considerably crowded. Gu Xi looked away after taking a
It was clear to the men that a person like Gu Xi was extraordinarily skilled. After all, how could anyone who had stayed in the Black Market for a long time not have seen much of the world? The men in the restaurant had even seen killers who came and went without a trace, as well as those whose martial power was off the charts. Normally, nobody would have the guts to offend such people. On the opposite, the men were only ignorant thugs who joined small fights. They usually bullied the weak while fearing the strong because there were many people in their group, but in reality, they would quickly avoid powerful opponents as they dared not confront them. “What do you want?!” Someone shouted out of fear. Gu Xi retrieved a photo to look at the faces of on it, then shifted her gaze to the men in front of her. She curled her lips into a scornful smile. “It’s you!” As soon as she uttered, she disappeared from the spot. By the time the other people reacted to the situation, she had alre
When Gu Xi subconsciously turned to look, she saw that the situation was already a mess. Just as Gu Xi was going to look away, she noticed a familiar figure and was surprised for a second before she decided to follow that person. However, the other person was very alert too. He stopped as soon as he entered an alley, then turned to look at where Gu Xi was hiding, and uttered coldly, “Come out.” Gu Xi was not surprised. She tilted her head and waved at him. “Hi~” The man looked astonished as though he did not expect his stalker to be a lady. Following that, Gu Xi removed her shades as she figured that the man did not recognize her. “Do you remember me?” Yes. This man was the one she met at the Ye family’s training ground. She did not expect to meet him here, which was quite a coincidence. The man’s face changed. He seemed to have recalled, hence he nodded. “Don’t misunderstand, I thought I was mistaken earlier so I decided to follow you,” Gu Xi explained. Nonetheless,
Gu Xi kept the guns, then touched her nose as she reminded the man, “Let’s leave quickly.” Nobody stopped them this time. They left the Black Market in no time. After leaving the place, Gu Xi felt that the air around her became more refreshing. However, due to the delay, it was already 7 o’clock in the evening. Seeing as the sky outside was already dark, Gu Xi’s eyelids twitched, and she dared not stay any longer. She had forgotten to ask for the man’s name, but simply hailed a taxi to hop inside. On the other hand, Jiu Lanyin, who was left behind, watched the car leave before he suddenly opened his hand. The look in his eyes deepened as he studied the dazzling purple crystal on his palm. ‘I finally found it. ‘Mom’s possession actually ended up in the Black Market, and was claimed by a bunch of gangsters. ‘The Black Market… The Black Market?’ The words were stuck in the man’s throat. ‘Did Mom go missing here back then?’ He suddenly squeezed the item in his hand,
Gu Xi raised her eyebrow when she noticed the empty dining table, so she jogged toward the kitchen. Before she could even get close, she heard a man’s raging voice. “Get out!” She trembled out of fear and stopped right away, but was dumbfounded by what she saw when she tilted her head to peep into the kitchen. The dishes were in a mess; they were smoky and gave out weird aromas. They were either so black that they could not be identified or still raw because they had not been cooked through. A lobster that was chopped into halves was still struggling on the chopping board, while an odd fishy smell was somehow detected from the rice cooker… Gu Xi was taken aback by the extremely bloody scene! Xing Beiyan sensed that she had not left, so he turned to look with a cold face, but saw Gu Xi staring in shock with her mouth wide open. There was a crack in the cold expression on his face. The awkward situation came to an end when water overflowed from the rice cooker. Gu Xi widene
