Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 528: Worth It or Not? 13
From today’s Weibo headlines, Xia Yinian knew that Uncle truly treated her well.
At least this time, he really did.
But she still couldn’t see through that man.
Sometimes, he is so kind it’s beyond words; other times, he is so terrible it’s indescribable.
When you feel close to him, he is actually far away from you.
When you think he is truly out of reach, he is always there by your side, shielding you from the wind and rain.
With such a man, from what perspective should she regard him? With what kind of feelings should she interact with him?
In the end, she lowered her head to look at the path under her feet and said lightly, "He’s just Uncle, Brother Ling, don’t misunderstand."
"When you still call me Brother Ling, does whether I misunderstand or not make any difference? In any case, it’s none of my business."
Gu Lingqian shrugged, a casual smile on his face.
They had agreed, they were just brother and sister, with only the affection of siblings, absolutely no mix of romantic feelings.
Only in this way, could they interact with each other with peace of mind, could they get along harmoniously, without any pressure on anyone.
Of course, such lack of pressure was just the environment Gu Lingqian carefully provided for Xia Yinian.
As for himself, whether he feels repressed, or whether he is living well, only he knows.
Xia Chuxue was indeed sitting on the floor of the side hall the whole time, not daring to stand up at all.
Xia Yinian was a bit bored thinking, what if she wanted to go to the restroom, what would she do?
Was she supposed to obey Uncle’s command and sit on the side hall floor all night, or sneak off to the restroom a few times in between?
She looked pitiful, but Xia Yinian did not sympathize with her at all.
If it wasn’t for her purposely looking for trouble, wishing to embarrass others, such punishment would not have befallen her.
Knowing that Xia Chuxue was being punished there, the men of the Xia Family didn’t even dare to hum a sound.
Who else to offend but Seventh Young Master?
Seventh Young Master is famously brutal, doesn’t she know that? Offending him is seeking death, it’s foolishness, it’s asking for it!
Although they felt sorry for their delicate Chuxue sitting on the cold floor all night, but these words came from Seventh Young Master, who would dare to pull Xia Chuxue up?
On the other side, at the banquet hall, it was already bustling with activity.
Everyone who came didn’t really know what the reason was, but since Old Master Gu invited them, they had to come regardless of the reason.
"This lady, is the Miss Niannian from today’s Weibo top headlines."
"Yes, she looks even better in person than in the video."
"Eh, Old Master Gu is hosting a banquet tonight, how come I haven’t seen Lady Qing from the Yu Family?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
"That hypocritical Top socialite?" A girl covered her lips, trying not to let her laughter be too unrestrained.
But she couldn’t help but laugh: "Heh, after such an embarrassment, she must be too scared to show her face, right?"
"Indeed, if it were me, being cursed like that, I’d rather dig a hole and crawl in, never to come out again."
...Various voices, most of which were mocking the Top socialite Yu Wanqing.
The daughters and wives who usually seemed to have a good relationship with Yu Wanqing were all mocking that hypocritical socialite.
"The warmth and coldness of human relationships." Hearing some of these, Xia Yinian sighed deeply, a touch of helplessness in her breath.
Today it’s Yu Wanqing who’s being mocked, there’s no guarantee that one day it won’t be herself.
Are those plastic friendships even worth maintaining?
Suddenly, she felt a bit of sympathy for that Top socialite.
As a tall tree catches the wind, bearing the title of the Top socialite, one should be able to withstand the storm.
After all, jealousy is human nature; with that number one label, who wouldn’t want to drag her down from the horse and give her a merciless fall?
