Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 527: Worth It or Not? 12

Xia Chuxue certainly couldn’t let Xia Yinian successfully defame her like this; Xia Yinian’s power to slander others was getting more and more formidable, and she became increasingly treacherous!

She glanced at Gu Beicheng and could only manage to do so briefly before she no longer dared to meet his eyes directly.

All she could do was lower her head, speaking softly, "I just... just hope that Nian Nian can be a little more dignified in her poverty, and not... not pick up things others have thrown away on the ground again, I... I..."

She stuttered "I..." for quite some time before finally managing to whisper, "I’m doing this for Nian Nian’s own good."

Gu Lingqian’s gaze swept over, his voice coldly stating, "Nian Nian has my unlimited Black Card on her. If this is considered being poor, then I’d like to ask everyone here, who’s certain that they’re wealthier than her?"

The entire side hall fell into dead silence.

Xia Yinian couldn’t help but cast a glance at Gu Lingqian. Wasn’t this kind of protection a bit too brazen?

She did have his Black Card, but she’d never used it, nor did she dare to.

Not to mention, it seemed that... she also had another one that belonged to Uncle.

She hadn’t thought of it earlier and should have returned it to her sooner.

"As a welcome gift, I also gave Nian Nian a Black Diamond Card, but you see, our Nian Nian is inherently pure and doesn’t fancy a life of luxury."

Our Nian Nian!

Seventh Young Master actually referred to Nian Nian as his own!

That made sense since she was now living at the Gu Family residence, and Gu Beicheng was one of the Gu Family gentlemen, considered a senior relative to Xia Yinian and Gu Lingqian.

To say "our Nian Nian" was not out of the question; only, those words "our Nian Nian" were really too... provocative!

Xia Yinian didn’t say anything, only feeling a bit at a loss as to how to face Gu Lingqian.

One of Gu Lingqian’s Black Cards hadn’t been returned yet, and Uncle had already stuffed another Black Diamond Card into her hands.

It wasn’t that she was truly greedy, wanting everything; it was just that she’d never used either card, and usually didn’t even remember they existed.

Nevertheless, now that they had been mentioned, shouldn’t she return these two cards to their rightful owners soon?

After tonight’s banquet ends, in a few days when she finds the right opportunity, she’ll return them to them!

But it seems the current predicament hasn’t fully concluded yet.

Gu Beicheng looked at Xia Yinian, his gaze profound in a way that made his thoughts indecipherable.

"Girl, haven’t you told others that it was me who picked up this chain for you?"

"At least call me Uncle. Now that someone is shaming me as a dog, won’t you speak up for me?"

He... He, he picked up the Black gemstone chain for Xia Yinian... Seventh Young Master... picked it up. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

With a thud, Xia Chuxue fell heavily to the ground on the side, completely lacking the strength to get up.

She was flabbergasted, and it took her a while to regain her senses.

When she finally did, she immediately looked at Gu Beicheng, trembling, "I... I was just talking nonsense, I... I didn’t say anything, I didn’t, I didn’t..."

Gu Beicheng couldn’t even be bothered to glance at her, "If you find the floor of our home comfortable to sit on, then stay seated here for the evening."

He looked at Xia Yinian, his ambiguous gaze once again reaching the depths of her eyes.

"The banquet is about to begin, let’s head over to the banquet hall."

"Oh!" Could it be that Uncle came all this way just to tell her the banquet was starting?

But Gu Lingqian was here too. Couldn’t Gu Lingqian have said it?

"Uncle just saw you being bullied and came over to assist."

As they were leaving, Gu Lingqian said so.

"Actually, Uncle is quite good to you."
