Chapter 522: Chapter 523: They Will Definitely Come to Settle the Score with Us

He nodded, looked up at Ye Xingbei, and managed to crack a smile, “Miss, I’m just fine.”

He had never felt better before. Especially now that he saw Shi Qianying lying in a pool of blood, crushed beneath his foot.

“That’s good,” Ye Xingbei hesitated before asking, “Is she still alive?”

Yu Nuo nodded: “She’s alive.”

“Well,” Ye Xingbei patted his arm, “You can take a rest now.”

Ye Xingbei turned to Xueno, “Xueno, accompany Yu Nuo to rest.”

Xueno obediently agreed and walked over to Yu Nuo’s side.

Ye Xingbei turned to Yu Nuo again, a playful smile on her face, “Make sure to eat well and get good sleep. Get your weight back up. You’re so slender that you could be blown away by the wind. How can you be my bodyguard like this, right?”

A beautiful smile finally appeared on Yu Nuo’s face, “Yes, Miss. I will.”

As Gu Junzhu watched at Yu Nuo and his overly beautiful face, the fingertips hanging by his side twirled… It seemed that the two bodyguards around Ye Xingbei were not very reliable. Their handsome faces were distracting!

After Xueno and Yu Nuo left, Ye Xingbei turned to Gu Junzhu, “Shall we go see Shi Qianying?”

Gu Junzhu nodded.

The two entered the basement.

Shi Qianying, who used to hang on the wall, was now lying on the ground. Clothes torn, thoroughly beaten. Her body was stained with blood; you could no longer see her usually arrogant and haughty demeanor.

Ye Xingbei squatted down beside her, extending her finger to feel for her breath.

Her breathing was weak, but she was certainly still alive.

Ye Xingbei then tilted her head, looking at Shi Qianying’s face. Bruised and swollen, it resembled a pig head.

Ye Xingbei looked at Shi Qianying, then back at the Fifth Lord of Gu, who was standing by her side, appearing indifferent, completely at ease. Her feelings were mixed.

Before she knew Gu Junzhu, she would never have dreamed that Shi Qianying, who used to be so overbearing in front of her, would become like a beaten dog today, curled up at Ye Xingbei’s feet.

With the help of Fifth Lord of Gu, many things that were previously deemed impossible were now happening in reality.

Is this what they mean by… when one obtains great fortune, all around him will share the same?

Ah, pea soup!

She is not a pet!

Noticing her complex look, Gu Junzhu smiled, tapping her head lightly, “What’s on your mind? Your eyes are full of thoughts?”

“Full of thoughts?” Ye Xingbei repeated, feeling puzzled.

What does that even mean?

Gu Junzhu looked down at her with amusement, “I just saw many words written in your eyes, those words, however, were just too tiny and dense for me to read clearly.”

Ye Xingbei: “…You are such a great storyteller!”

“Really!” Gu Junzhu touched his chin in all earnestness, “I saw in your eyes just now, ‘How did I marry such a good husband? My husband is so awesome, so capable, so wise and powerful, none can match up to him. How lucky I am to have married such an amazing husband!’”

“…” Ye Xingbei was expressionless, “The next time someone says you’re aloof, I’ll spray salt soda in his face!”

Gu Junzhu burst into laughter, his sudden laughter was like a burst of sunlight, sparkling and dazzling.

Ye Xingbei was blinded by his laughter, her heart pounded wildly. She quickly turned her gaze away from his face and pointed to Shi Qianying at her feet, “What shall we do about her?”

“Put her in a sack and dump her at the Shi family’s front door.” The Fifth Lord of Gu said this casually, as if he was delivering local products to Shi family.

Ye Xingbei: “…Shi family will surely seek revenge from us.”
