Chapter 6 Losing Despite the Advantage

“But Elder Sister, you said that I’ll stop hurting once I take those sleeping pills, so I bought them because I’m scared of pain. I always feel uncomfortable when I wake up, which is why I get angry,” Gu Xi muttered. It turned out that Gu Xue’er was the one that had orchestrated everything. It made complete sense to Xing Beiyan since Xixi was not courageous enough to commit suicide. Xing Beiyan glared at Gu Xue’er as if he wished she was dead. “Drag her away, I want her out of my sight,” he ordered coldly. “No, no, Big Brother Xing, please don’t treat me like this. I beg you, don’t take me away.” Once Gu Xue’er heard Xing Beiyan’s order, the color drained from her face as she started wailing. “Son-in-law, let’s talk first. Xue’er is a naive girl, she must not have known that Xixi would actually commit suicide at that time. After all, she’s still Xixi’s elder sister. Please, I beg of you, please have mercy on her.” Madam Gu was terrified as well. She knew what would happen to her daughter if she was taken away. She set her status aside and pleaded desperately, almost falling to her knees in the process. Naive? Gu Xi stared at the pair of sobbing women and her heart went cold. Yes, in her past life, she was played for a fool because of Gu Xue’er’s innocence and naivety. Noticing Gu Xi’s labored breaths, Xing Beiyan’s gaze hardened and his subordinates tightened their grasp on Gu Xue’er. Gu Xi noticed his stiffened posture. She took a glance at him and saw the worry reflected in his eyes. Warmth immediately developed in her heart. Perhaps in this world, Xing Beiyan was the only one that loved her wholeheartedly. Noticing the affectionate gaze the husband and wife shared, Gu Xue’er’s body shook with anger but she said nothing. She could only bury the jealousy she felt deep in her heart. She swore to herself that everything Gu Xi had would be hers one day! “Xixi, quickly get Young Master Xing to let your elder sister go. Are you really cruel enough to send your elder sister to her death?” Madam Gu asked resentfully. “Madam, how could you accuse me like that? My husband is merely sending my elder sister away, he never said he’d do anything to her. It’s not as serious as the way you’re putting it. Am I right, darling?” Once Gu Xi’s words fell, she blinked flirtatiously at Xing Beiyan. Xing Beiyan felt his body go numb at her gaze so he nodded without thinking. Gu Xi turned to look at Madam Gu once more, her expression as if saying, “I told you so.” Madam Gu almost fainted in anger. Seeing that Madam Gu had nothing else to say, Gu Xi frowned and whined. “I’m so hungry.” As she spoke, she rubbed her flat stomach as if to emphasize that. “Butler Wang, get someone to prepare food,” Xing Beiyan ordered the man behind him immediately. Noticing that their Young Master had no intention of letting Gu Xue’er go, Xing Beiyan’s subordinates dragged the sobbing Gu Xue’er away. “Madam Gu, halt!” Madam Gu wanted to continue pleading but she was immediately stopped by a bodyguard and his sharp gaze. With no other way around it, she could only listen to her daughter’s wails before she ran out with gritted teeth. ‘Very well, Gu Xi, just you wait!’ Gu Xi and Xing Beiyan did not stay long before they retreated upstairs. Right before Xing Beiyan could ask any of his questions, the phone rang. She watched as his expression fell before he hung up the call. “What happened?” Since it seemed that Xing Beiyan was leaving, Gu Xi’s heart jumped and she quickly grabbed his hand. “Some troublemakers are going wild again. I’m going out now but I’ll be back soon,” Xing Beiyan said coldly. Gu Xi immediately realized what was actually going on. After she committed suicide in her past life, somebody had spread the news everywhere.
