“Thank you for going through the trouble of sending Xixi here. I’m sure she was very troublesome on the way, so I thank all of you on her behalf. I’ll take care of her now so all of you may go about your business,” Gu Xue’er said with a sincere expression.The boys’ mouths quirked before they looked at each other. However, they did not say anything in response. Seeing that they had no objections, Gu Xue’er quickly pulled Gu Xi away with her. As they were walking, Gu Xi turned heads everywhere they went. It did not matter if they were male or female, old or young, as long as they saw her, they never looked away until she left. Some were even discussing and speculating which family this beautiful girl was from. Gu Xue’er, who was just accentuating Gu Xi’s beauty even more, naturally hated what was happening. This had been the way of life for her since childhood; as soon as Gu Xi appeared, all eyes would be on her instead of Gu Xue’er.The latter tried to maintain her smile, but

To them, Gu Xi had not done anything she should not have done so why was she enduring such unfair treatment?Luo Yang, in particular, flushed red with anger as he stepped forward before striding over to shield Gu Xi behind his back. He then said in dissatisfaction, “How could you talk to her like that, she hasn’t done anything wrong!”Gu Tianxiang never expected somebody to speak for Gu Xi so his face immediately fell as he said, “I’m teaching my daughter a lesson, so I wish that an outsider like you would not get involved.” As soon as his words fell, he looked towards Gu Xi with a gaze that could kill. “Are you going to get lost or not?”“The Mo family invited Gu Xi yet you want to kick her out. President Gu, are you trying to embarrass the Mo family?” Nangong stepped forward to say.Nangong’s words always carried the most weight and authority within their group so his words prompted the others to nod in agreement.Mo Han’s expression went cold as he said, “As the Second Young Ma

Gu Xi sat back down on the couch, fuming with anger as she shoved mouthfuls of cake into her mouth. As the sweetness rushed down her throat, her foul mood dissipated slightly.What was the big deal really? She needed to hold herself together or she would be playing right into Ruan Meng’er’s hands!She reminded herself that Xing Beiyan felt nothing towards that woman, absolutely nothing at all. He was still the good man that pampered her, the bad woman!He belonged only to her!She slapped her cheeks a few times and suppressed her hateful thoughts. After doing so, Gu Xi calmed down significantly.She could not react the same way she had in her previous life; Gu Xi assumed that Xing Beiyan had betrayed her after Gu Xue’er showed her a photo of him and a model attending an event together. It was an event that would eventually contribute to her unforgettable end!Did she not already know that Ruan Meng’er was going to show up? There was no point in being jealous since all she needed

“What did you say?!” Xing Beiyan’s eyes narrowed dangerously.“I… I’ll wear what I want! You’re so fierce!” Gu Xi was startled by Xing Beiyan. Not only were they in the presence of so many people, but she also felt aggrieved and scared, which made her instantly tear up.“You…” Xing Beiyan was slightly angry but, once he met her teary eyes, his ruthless words died in his throat. With a sigh, he said weakly, “Okay, okay. You can dress like this but only at home, understood?”Gu Xi sniffled, glaring at him despite things already going her way as if the results were not entirely satisfactory.“Don’t cause any more trouble, baby, come here…” Xing Beiyan pulled her closer. After realizing she was not resisting, he pulled her in entirely to wrap an arm around her waist.Everyone was shocked because they never thought that this seemingly cold-blooded and indifferent man would actually swallow his pride to comfort a woman in such a situation.They had all been discussing just how miserabl

“President Gu, are you saying my wife lacks common sense?” Xing Beiyan’s sharp gaze fell onto Gu Tianxiang like a blade, rendering him unable to advance or retreat.“He’s so brave, he actually said Lord Xing’s wife lacked common sense in front of his face?” somebody could not resist mocking Gu Tianxiang.“Big Brother Xing, you know that’s not what Daddy means. In any case, Xixi is still his daughter, why would he accuse her like that?” Gu Xue’er spoke quickly before looking at Gu Xi to continue, “Xixi, say something too.”“You’re all so weird. I was just responding to Elder Sister Xue’er’s words. Why am I the one that doesn’t know any better?” Gu Xi was laughing evilly inside but, on the surface, her face was locked into a puzzled expression.Since Gu Xi was beautiful, her puzzled expression made everyone instantly direct their criticisms towards Gu Xue’er instead.“That’s true, she was being too much when she suddenly appeared to chide somebody else. Gu Xi was just explaining thi
