Gu Junzhu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Shouldn’t Xiang Bingzhi be in custody at the moment?

It seems that Senior Master Xie and Senior Master Xiang have used their influence to get her out.

Hmph.

She nearly ruined the face of his woman and now expects to be let off scot-free?

Such wishful thinking, yet they are destined to be disappointed!

Upon hearing that Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei had arrived, Ye Xinglan said to Ye Xingbei, “It’s great that they’re here. When you were little, they truly adored you. Knowing that you are alive, they’d be thrilled. Don’t hold back, recognize them first. If they do not show affection for you as their sister, reduce your contact with them. There wouldn’t be any negative impact on you.”

Ye Xingbei heeded his word.

Even though he asked more than instructed her, Ye Xingbei simply nodded her head without any dissent.

Gu Junzhu’s heart bubbled with anger.

Seeing Eldest Ye control his wife like a submissive servant enraged him.

This was unacceptable.

In the future, he must find a way to turn the tables and make his wife dominate Eldest Ye. He must relish Eldest Ye’s defeat!

An image of Ye Xingbei striding confidently ahead with royal elegance, with Ye Xinglan trailing humbly behind like a submissive dog settled Gu Junzhu’s rattled nerves.

Temporarily pushing Ye Xinglan aside, he crossed his legs elegantly and commanded, “Bring them in.”

Ye Xiaobei was about to confirm her lineage.

An engaging drama was about to unfold.

Hopefully Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei were sincerely fond of Ye Xiaobei, and weren’t acting out of ulterior motives or simply denying her as their sister.

If it were otherwise…

Heh heh.

They shouldn’t blame him then for being unsympathetic!

The butler took his leave to execute the order.

A moment later, Xie Yunlin, Xie Jinfei, and Xiang Bingzhi were ushered into the living room.

There was no noticeable change in Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei compared to their previous visit.

Xiang Bingzhi, however, was a mere shadow of herself from yesterday.

In just one day, her prideful arrogance had vanished completely.

Her face was devoid of color, with dark circles around her eyes. Bruises littered her face, making her appear completely disheveled.

She walked meekly behind Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei, terror-stricken with her head bowed low. She didn’t dare to lift her head.

She who used to be fearless and headstrong—this was because she believed she had the liberty to reach for the sky and the breadth to swim in the sea.

As long as her grandfather and maternal grandfather were alive, whatever she did, she would get away with it unscathed.

Even if she turned the world upside down, her elders would shield her and protect her from any consequential damage.

However, this time, having provoked Gu Junzhu, her kin couldn’t protect her anymore.

Stripped of her previous invulnerability, she was arrested by the police and held in custody.

Although her grandfathers saved face and pulled some strings to get her out temporarily, they made it clear to her that she had to find Gu Junzhu and seek his forgiveness.

Only if Gu Junzhu was willing to let her go could she escape unscathed this time.

However, Gu Junzhu had the capability to send her back to the detention regardless of her grandfathers’ attempts to intervene. Even worse, he could increase the severity of her charges.

By then, even if her grandfathers joined forces, they wouldn’t be able to save her.

Her grandfathers made it clear that if she was innocent and Gu Junzhu was merely seeking revenge, they would risk their lives to seek justice for her.

Unfortunately, she was the one in the wrong, and it was not a minor mistake..
