Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 515 - 516: Questioning
Chapter 515: Chapter 516: Questioning
Even if Ye Xingbei didn’t tell him, Gu Junzhu, being as astute as he was, could have found out on his own.
So, he decided not to hide it anymore and simply told him everything directly.
Just as Ye Xingbei was about to speak, he heard Gu Junzhu say lazily, “If apologizing could solve everything, then what do we need the police for? Even a three-year-old knows this. Don’t you understand?”
Ye Xinglan was taken aback, “I have already disciplined Qianying.”
“Oh?” Gu Junzhu curled his mouth, “How did you discipline her? Go on, tell us. Let me and Beibei have a little cheer.”
Ye Xinglan seemed to find it difficult to speak and it took a while before he said, “I scolded her severely and she promised me, she won’t repeat this again.” freeweɓnovel.cøm
Gu Junzhu chuckled as he played with his phone, and asked casually, “President Ye, may I ask, how did you discipline Beibei when she made mistakes in the past?”
On the other end of the phone, Ye Xinglan’s face turned beet red.
He was left speechless by Gu Junzhu’s question, feeling an unprecedented embarrassment.
He stammered for a long time before finally saying, “Beibei is my sister and it’s my duty to discipline her. Qianying is the second lady of the Shi family. She has her own parents and elders. I didn’t think it was appropriate to go too far.”
“Oh…I see!” Gu Junzhu nodded as if he understood. “So, you were strict with Beibei because she’s an orphan. You took advantage of her vulnerability!”
Gu Junzhu clucked his tongue, “Poor Beibei’s parents. If they knew that not only did they lose their lives in search of a son, but that son also abused their daughter because she is an orphan, I wonder if they could rest in peace in their graves.”
Ye Xinglan gripped the phone tightly, his face turned red with embarrassment, as if he’s about to bleed.
He took a deep breath, “Yes, I admit, I was wrong in the past. I have wronged Beibei. I promise, from now on, I will do my best to make up to Beibei…”
Gu Junzhu laughed, “President Ye, your words are even more pleasing than your singing! Your future aunt tortured Beibei’s personal bodyguard, and you can only deceive Beibei into enduring in silence. Is this your so-called compensation?”
Ye Xinglan opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a word.
His father was in poor health, so he started helping his grandfather with the family business when he was sixteen.
He was a known prodigy, the pride of his grandfather and the Ye family.
This was the first time in his life that he was made speechless by someone, his face turning crimson, unable to say a word.
He was gripping his phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white. It took him a long time to finally say, “The Shi family and our family are both prestigious families and have several generations of friendship. It would not be worth it to damage this relationship just because Qianying hurt Beibei’s bodyguard.”
At last, Ye Xingbei, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up, “Brother Lan, you’re so cold-blooded.”
She was so angry that her fingers were trembling, her face full of disappointment, “Brother Lan, you don’t need to say anything. My matters with Shi Qianying are none of your business anymore. The person she hurt is my bodyguard, and I don’t need you to intervene. I will seek justice on my own.”
Ye Xinglan slowly said, “Beibei, don’t forget that you are also a part of the Ye family. If you take revenge on Shi Qianying, the Shi family will also hold the Ye family accountable.”
Ye Xingbei clenched her fists, “Brother Lan, are you that afraid of the Shi family?”
“I’m not afraid of the Shi family,” Ye Xinglan said, “I just don’t think it’s necessary to strain the relationship between the Ye and Shi families over such a trifling matter.”
“So, when Shi Qianying abused Yu Nuo, how come you weren’t afraid of affecting the relationship between the wealthy families and the Ye family?” Ye Xingbei was both angry and disappointed, “Brother Lan, you ask yourself, if Shi Qianying had abused your bodyguard, would you also be this indifferent?”
