Chapter 308: Chapter 309: What Can She Say?

Seeing Gu Chi lost in thought as he looked at Lingyue, Gu Junzhu called his name gently, “Xiao Chi?”
“Master!” Gu Chi quickly retreated from his apparent daydream. He bowed slightly, and asked softly, “Are you tired? Why don’t you rest awhile? I can watch over Young Madam.”
“No need,” Gu Junzhu said, “Back on missions, it was commonplace to stay awake for three days and three nights. Guarding a single night is nothing.”
With a disapproving tone, Gu Chi replied, “But, you weren’t injured back then. You have internal injuries now…”
Gu Junzhu waved his hand dismissively, and Gu Chi fell silent. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Just as Gu Junzhu was about to say something else, he felt the hand he was holding, belonging to Ye Xingbei, twitch.
He immediately turned his head towards her.
Ye Xingbei’s eyelashes fluttered and she slowly opened her eyes.
Gu Junzhu got up, supporting himself with his hands by her side, and leaned in to ask, “How are you feeling?”
Ye Xingbei’s mind was blank for a moment as her consciousness gradually returned.
She immediatly turned her head, “Where’s Xiao Shu?”
Xiao Shumiao, lying on the accompanying bed, seemed to have sensed something and opened his eyes.
The moment he saw that Ye Xingbei was awake, he jumped down, hurried to her bedside, and threw himself into her arms, crying warmly.
Hearing her son’s hoarse voice, Ye Xingbei’s heart ached. She raised his tiny head to wipe away his tears and comforted him, “Baby, everything’s fine. Mommy is okay. Don’t cry, sweetheart.”
Xiao Shumiao burrowed further into her arms, clinging onto her as he cried uncontrollably.
Lingyue rose from his chair, moved to Xiao Shumiao’s side, and gently patted his back.
Gu Junzhu also kneaded Xiao Shumiao’s small body to console him, trying to persuade him together with Ye Xingbei.
After crying for a while, Xiao Shumiao felt embarrassed. He hid his face in Ye Xingbei’s arms, only his small voice audible, “Mommy, does it still hurt?”
Ye Xingbei laughed and said, “Not anymore, Mommy doesn’t hurt at all.”
“Mommy has slept for a long time, Xiao Shu was scared!” Xiao Shumiao spoke between sobs.
Looking at his state, Ye Xingbei’s heart ached. She held him like an infant, comforting and swaying him gently, “Everything’s fine now, Xiao Shu don’t be afraid, Daddy, Mommy, even Brother Yue are here. We are all fine, don’t be scared.”
Ye Xingbei felt like she had been having a streak of bad luck recently, as one misfortune followed another.
First, she was framed and almost had her face ruined by Xiang Bingzhi.
Then she was teased by a young punk and bizarrely got hit by a stick.
Now, even a trip to the mall ended up in chaos.
Remembering the incident from the previous night at the mall, Ye Xingbei asked Gu Junzhu, “Last night while I was standing on the escalator, I felt someone push me from behind, and I fell off. Did you catch the person?”
Gu Junzhu nodded, “It was Xie Yumo.”
“Xie Yumo?” Ye Xingbei’s expression mirrored those of Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei, filled with disbelief, “How is that possible? I have no grudges or resentment towards her. Why would she push me?”
“I guess it’s because of your mother’s inheritance,” Gu Junzhu said, “The inheritance your mother left for you was given to Xie Motong and Xie Yumo by your grandmother. Part of it was taken back from Xie Yumo. She probably holds a grudge against you because of this.”
Ye Xingbei opened her mouth, but no words came out.

The explanation of Gu Junzhu seemed fitting.
But the inheritance originally belonged to her; her grandparents had simply acted to return what rightfully belonged to her from Xie Motong and Xie Yumo. Just over this, pushing her down an escalator, wasn’t it too cruel?
She was just a child, seemingly only thirteen or fourteen years old..
