Defrosting The Cold Young Master - Chapter 516

Chapter 516: Chapter 517: Bash Him to Death

Ye Xinglan opened her mouth to speak, but before she could say anything, she heard Ye Xingbei say, “There’s no need for you to say anything. Even if you did, I wouldn’t believe you! If Shi Qianying tortured your bodyguard, challenged your authority, and humiliated you, you definitely wouldn’t let it go like you’re doing now. In the end, it’s just my face and dignity, Ye Xingbei, which are worthless in your eyes, aren’t they?”

“Beibei…”

Ye Xinglan wanted to defend herself, but was interrupted by Ye Xingbei: “Brother Lan, if you believe my seeking revenge from Shi Qianying will impact the relationship between the Shi family and the Ye family, then I’ll severe my ties with the Ye family. I hereby resign! From this moment on, I’m not the Director of Star Palace anymore, and I’m no longer your sister, Ye Xinglan. From now onwards, whatever I do, it won’t concern the Ye family!”

“Beibei, don’t be impulsive! I…”

Ye Xingbei didn’t let him finish, and hung up the phone.

“Well done!” Gu Junzhu clapped his hands, praising her, “That’s the right thing to do. I can’t stand pushovers who only take insults without fighting back. I’m glad you’re not one.”

Ye Xingbei’s eyes welled up with tears. Feeling unbearably miserable, she slumped onto the table.

Just as Gu Junzhu was about to comfort her, his phone rang. It was Ye Xinglan.

He swiftly denied the call, and blocked the number, then sat next to Ye Xingbei. He pulled her into his arms and stroked her back, “It’s alright, don’t be upset. From now on you won’t be called Ye Xiaobei anymore, instead you’ll be Gu Xiaobei. Gu Xiaobei sounds better than Ye Xiaobei.”

“Get lost!” Ye Xingbei was both amused and annoyed, and pushed him away, “I’m upset here, and you’re teasing me.”

“I’m serious!” Fifth Master of Gu said earnestly: “Isn’t Gu Xiaobei beautiful? Even today, many women in different countries take their husband’s surname after marriage. You can do the same. It’s called internationalizing.”

Ye Xingbei was expressionless, “I don’t need to go international, thanks.”

Gu Junzhu wanted to say more, but his phone rang again.

He frowned at the caller ID. This time it was Ye Xingli.

His phone was on the table, in full view of Ye Xingbei. Taking a few deep breaths, she picked up the phone and put it to her ear, “Hello, Brother Li.”

“Beibei,” Ye Xingli urgently replied: “I just found out about Yu Nuo’s issue. Don’t worry, I will definitely help you. When I get back, I’ll confront Shi Qianying. I’ve never liked her, the beautiful but venomous snake, who only knows how to flirt with our elder brother to get her way, deceiving him!”

He rambled on without pausing for breath: “Beibei, don’t be mad at our elder brother. He’s the heir of the Ye family; he unavoidably has to consider more before acting. He also has his difficulties. But yes, he was wrong about Yu Nuo’s issue. He asked me to apologize to you. He tried calling you, but you had turned off your phone. Fifth Brother blocked his number too, so he had no option but to ask me to apologize to you and Fifth Brother. He mentioned he will provide a satisfactory explanation…”

“That’s not needed,” Ye Xingbei interrupted him while he was catching his breath, “Brother Lan has already dealt with Shi Qianying’s case. He won’t, and he shouldn’t, go back on his word. You and Brother Lan don’t need to interfere in things between me and Shi Qianying. Of course…if you choose to support the Shi family, I won’t blame you.”

“How could that be?” Ye Xingli said anxiously, “You are the one who is our sister, we are a family, how could we possibly support Shi Qianying?”

“Brother Li,” Ye Xingbei said indifferently, “Shi Qianying is the younger sister of Brother Lan’s fiancée. Maybe in Brother Lan’s heart, Shi Qianying is his family, and I’m just an outsider.”
