After Gu Jueye left, Bai Yitang pulled his down jacket tighter and turned to look at Bai Qianmo.
“Look at your husband, shouldn’t you do something about him? Is this how he treats his own brother? This isn’t just a slap in my face, it’s a slap in yours.”
Bai Qianmo glanced coldly at Bai Yitang: "Do you need me to call Mr. Gu now and relay what you just said word for word?"
Bai Yitang almost choked on his own words, patting his face: "Um... I think my brain is frozen, don't take what I said seriously."
"Then just pretend it was nothing!"
Bai Yitang: "..."
It turns out that we should stay away from this scheming and sharp-tongued couple from now on.
One said he was too weak, the other said he was talking nonsense.
Who are these people?
After leaving the ancestral hall, Gu Jueye had not gone far when he ran into Bai Xinrou.
Seeing Gu Jueye alone, Bai Xinrou's face clearly showed a look of joy.
"My lord, are you leaving?"
Gu Jueye glanced coldly at Bai Xinrou.
"kindness!"
"Why didn't Qianmo say she'd come to see you off? Oh, I almost forgot, Grandpa Bai made her kneel as punishment in the ancestral hall." Bai Xinrou put on a very gentle and innocent look.
"Actually, I didn't agree with Grandpa Bai making Qianmo kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment to reflect on her actions today. I was just pleading with Grandpa Bai on Qianmo's behalf, but Grandpa Bai felt that she wouldn't learn her lesson if she wasn't punished once. So I begged for a long time but couldn't change Grandpa Bai's attitude. I'm really sorry."
Gu Jueye gave a half-smile and a slight twitch of his lips.
"If you feel sorry, it would be more appropriate to apologize to Qianmo in person."
Bai Xinrou: "..."
Speechless!
Ask her to apologize to Bai Qianmo? Ha! Does Bai Qianmo deserve it?
She simply wanted to leave a good impression of herself as gentle and kind in front of Gu Jueye.
But this man seems a bit stubborn!
However, how could a man of this status be so easily approached by a woman with just a flick of her finger?
If I want to get my hands on Gu Jueye, I'm afraid I'll have to put in a lot of effort.
Ugh, just thinking about it makes her angry.
Why does that brat Bai Qianmo deserve Gu Jueye's affection?
"My lord, have you heard Qianmo mention her brother?"
"elder brother?"
Seeing that Gu Jueye seemed unaware, Bai Xinrou's eyes lit up.
“He’s not her biological brother. When they were in the countryside, there was a man who took good care of her. They were very close. The man was from out of town. We don’t know his name, but Qianmo always called him brother.”
Gu Jueye stared at Bai Xinrou with a deep gaze and an expressionless face.
Bai Xinrou continued, "Qianmo would often go back to find this person when she went up the mountain to chop firewood. The two of them, a man and a woman, were always getting along intimately. People in our village couldn't help but gossip. Qianmo didn't know how to avoid it and still got very close to that person. Later, she simply ran away with that man. Actually, you can't blame Qianmo entirely for this. She was only thirteen or fourteen years old when she ran away with that man and didn't know anything at all."
Bai Xinrou's words revealed Bai Qianmo's "indiscreet" past.
She thought to herself, "No normal man could tolerate his girlfriend having such a dirty past, right?"
Moreover, the other party is the heir of the most prestigious family in the capital.
Young men from privileged backgrounds are most concerned about whether their girlfriends come from a respectable family.
She refused to believe that if Gu Jueye knew about Bai Qianmo's past, he would still want her.
"When it comes to these first stirrings of love, I can't compare to Qianmo. People in our village often say that I'm better than her in everything—better at studying, prettier and more sensible—but when it comes to love, I'm still clueless."
When she spoke of herself, Bai Xinrou lowered her head shyly.
A soft laugh suddenly came from above, the voice clear, pleasant, and penetrating straight to the heart.
Bai Xinrou carefully raised her head and met a pair of eyes as black as ink.
"I heard Qianmo mention her brother herself. He took great care of her. When she was being treated coldly and bullied by her family, he was the one who took care of her and stayed with her. I am very grateful to this person for taking care of Qianmo. If I have the opportunity to meet him, I will thank him in person."
After speaking, Gu Jueye glanced at Bai Xinrou with a disdainful look.
Bai Xinrou's expression was exaggerated at this moment, with her mouth slightly open and her eyes wide with astonishment.
How could I not care?
How could a man of Gu Jueye's status accept Bai Qianmo's sordid past?
"As for what you said, that you are better than her in everything, prettier and more sensible than her, and better at studying than her? Hehe, Bai Xinrou, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about yourself? You said those things without even panting. Usually, people who are blindly confident like this either have a problem with their brain or their eyes. You seem to be talking normally, so you should go back and take a good look in the mirror."
This was the first time Gu Jueye had spoken so much to a stranger.
But Bai Xinrou couldn't be happy, because every word was like a sharp blade, stabbing her heart.
She trembled all over from the pain, her face turning deathly pale.
Gu Jueye didn't care about her mood at the moment. After making a sarcastic remark, he turned around and strode away.
Bai Xinrou stood in the cold wind, trembling with anger, and squeezed out a hateful word through gritted teeth.
"I'll show you with your own eyes what kind of trash Bai Qianmo really is!"
