Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 510: Chapter 511: Not a Hard Task for Fifth Lord of Gu

Ye Xingbei was amused by him, “Leave me alone!”

“I’m serious!” Gu Junzhu insisted solemnly: “Tell me, who has wronged you? I will avenge you.”

Ye Xingbei snorted, “I don’t believe you don’t know.”

Gu Junzhu chuckled, ruffling her hair, “Isn’t this what you do? I’m willing to act as your emotional dustbin.”

Ye Xingbei pushed him away and sat down on a large stone, hugging her knees and staring at the distant horizon, “Gu Junzhu, do you know? The feeling of being betrayed by a loved one hurts more than being stabbed by an enemy.”

Gu Junzhu sat down beside her, “Why does Ye Xinglan count as your loved one? After all, he’s only your cousin, not your brother. Besides, a daughter who has married off is like spilled water. You’re under my charge now!”

Ye Xingbei let out a ‘tch’ and gave him a sideways look, sighing in frustration, “Actually, I know why Brother Lan is hesitating. The Shi family and Ye Family are compatible in terms of status. Shi Qianling is Lan’s fiancée, Shi Qianying is Shi Qianling’s younger sister, and Yu Nuo is just a slave. He doesn’t want to ruin the relationship between the Ye and Shi families for a slave, but he didn’t consider how I feel.”

“No, he did consider,” said Gu Junzhu, “he knew you would be heartbroken, sad, angry, so he ordered Yu Nuo to keep it a secret and not let you know the truth. But he didn’t realise that hiding a secret doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Ultimately, he just didn’t value you enough and sacrificed your interests for his own.”

Fifth Lord of Gu was subtly yet persistently blackening Ye Xinglan’s name. After all, he used to bully Ye Xiaobei.

It was one thing to have bullied her in the past, but now he even continued to bully her. Didn’t he take Fifth Master of Gu into account?

“You’re right,” Ye Xingbei replied with a bitter smile, “he’s only thinking of keeping the peace, not wondering or even caring why Shi Qianying mistreats Yu Nuo. The person Shi Qianying wants to hurt isn’t Yu Nuo, it’s me! And he silently forgave her for that, even concealed it for her…it hurts so much…”

In Ye Xinglan’s heart, what exactly does she count as?

She knew Ye Xinglan used to dislike her, but she thought that after discovering Jiang Zhengxing wasn’t her real father, Ye Xinglan’s feelings towards her would change.

Now it seems, old habits die hard. She still means nothing to Ye Xinglan.

Seeing her down, Fifth Lord of Gu ruffled her hair, “Why are you upset over someone so insignificant? People’s hearts are biased. He’s just a cousin, how much could he possibly care for you?”

Ye Xingbei smiled and shook her head, “Maybe you’re right!”

She sighed deeply: “I had too high hopes, which resulted in disappointment.”

She had thought that after Ye Xinglan found out she was his uncle’s daughter, he would treat her better.

She had wished too much.

“It’s okay, Ye Xiaobei, brothers and such are other women’s men, they’re unreliable,” Fifth Lord of Gu smiled, rubbing her nape: “When it comes to the crunch, you have to rely on your own man! Just Shi Qianying? Your man will handle her for you. We’ll do the same to her what she did to Yu Nuo.”

Ye Xingbei rested her chin in her hands, looking disgruntled, “I would love to, but Shi Qianying is in Y country. I don’t know when I’ll see her.”

“Isn’t that simple?” Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow: “I heard the lavender fields in Y country are beautiful. Girls like such views, right? We might as well take a trip there and have our revenge on Yu Nuo’s behalf along the way. Kill two birds with one stone.”
