Chapter 1315: Chapter 1319 Letting Nature Take Its Course

Fifth Lord of Gu squinted at her: "Do you think I’m not strong enough?"

Ye Xingbei held back her laughter.

She read in a book that men can’t stand it when women say they’re not strong, not manly enough, or lacking in masculinity.

Could it be that even their family’s Fifth Lord of Gu can’t avoid this cliché?

She pinched Gu Junzhu’s arm, "It’s fine! Although not the type with bulging muscles, it’s quite alright! I don’t like those with bulging muscles, too exaggerated. You, on the other hand, are better—solid, smooth, especially aesthetic."

Gu Junzhu pinched her cheek, "Ye Xiaobei, recently our son has been memorizing the collection of proverbs, have you recited ’A wise man submits to circumstances’ with him a hundred times?"

Ye Xingbei giggled, "I’m telling you the truth, I’m serious."

"There, there," Gu Junzhu fed her a piece of fruit, "Eat more fruits, keep hydrated."

Ye Xingbei raised an eyebrow: "Are you saying I’m not hydrated enough?"

Gu Junzhu: "..."

Ye Xingbei leaned on the table, unable to straighten up from laughing, "See, see? Isn’t it the same trick as when you were worried you weren’t strong enough? That’s why they say, talking and committing misdeeds are the same, never speak recklessly, otherwise retribution comes fast!"

Watching her laugh like a mischievous little fox brought him a heartwarming joy like soothing hot spring waters enveloping him.

He couldn’t help but affectionately ruffle her hair, suddenly realizing he enjoyed being with her more and more.

As long as he was with her, it seemed as if nothing in this world could bother him.

No matter what happened, as long as she was there, he could face it with a calm heart.

His father was right; she was his lucky star.

If there were a device to measure happiness, his happiness index would definitely skyrocket whenever she was around.

Hours later, the hospital reported that An Ruru had a severe fracture, a comminuted fracture in one leg, with a grim recovery outlook.

An Qiuping’s injuries were lighter than An Ruru’s, but it would still take two to three years to fully recover.

Their biggest problem right now was that no one was there to pay their medical bills.

The hospital, on humanitarian grounds, had urgently treated them, but wouldn’t indefinitely treat them for free.

Their ultimate recovery seemed to be left to fate.

Ye Xingbei spotted Shangguan Lang on the surveillance.

Indeed, worthy of being chosen by Gu Chi as Gu Junzhu’s stand-in, both his physique and appearance were outstanding.

But Ye Xingbei hadn’t met him.

Shangguan Fu had just undergone major surgery and woke up from it, then after An Ruru and An Qiuping were punished, Shangguan Lang rushed back to the hospital.

She believed that Shangguan Lang wasn’t in the mood to enter the entertainment industry right now.

His life was now focused on his sister.

She instructed the person in contact with Shangguan Lang to tell him that if he was interested in debuting, they could come to Beijing after his sister fully recovered.

By then, she would interview the siblings.

If suitable, she would take them under her wing.

After staying in Zhou City for two more days and indulging in hot springs, they set off for Feng City.

Feng City was Qiao Zui’s hometown, a place that was supposed to feel familiar to everyone.

But other than the carefree Xiao Shumiao, everyone else had heavy hearts on the way to Feng City.

Thinking of Feng City reminded them of Qiao Yi, who had forever left them.

The pain and regrets they usually tried to forget uncontrollably surged into their hearts.
