Defrosting The Cold Young Master
Chapter 958 - 958 962 Substitute

Chapter 958: Chapter 962 Substitute Chapter 958: Chapter 962 Substitute Gu Junzhu stroked his chin, “Makes sense!”

He turned his head to Ye Xingbei, “So you and Xiao Shumiao are my lucky charms!”

Ye Xingbei: “…”

Why did she have to dig such a hole for herself to jump into?

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her and Gu Junzhu, she secretly pinched him on the lower back, “Stop it!”

“No more fooling around!” Gu Junzhu grabbed her hand, resisting the urge to kiss her, and said solemnly, “Let’s watch the drama, keep watching!”

Ye Xingbei: “…If Grandpa Xiang hears this, he will definitely have someone throw you out!”

Gu Junzhu laughed, “No worries, his people can’t beat me, and even if they could, they wouldn’t dare to, my dad is here.”

Ye Xingbei: “…Actually, I think my dad and Senior Master Li have a similar touch of genius.”

When it comes to doting on children, Senior Master Gu definitely doesn’t lose out to anyone!

Gu Junzhu stroked his chin and nodded begrudgingly, “Uncle Li is quite decent.”

Ye Xingbei suddenly thought of Xie Motong.

She glanced at Senior Master Xie and leaned towards Gu Junzhu’s ear, her voice even lower, “Do you think my grandpa knows that Xie Motong is now with Li Qi?”

Gu Junzhu thought for a moment, “Hard to say, you know, the human heart is the most unpredictable, I’m not very familiar with your grandpa, it’s not easy to guess, probably… he should know?”

After all, Beijing isn’t that big, and Xie Motong is Senior Master Xie’s own granddaughter.

Even if they have severed relations, it’s impossible for him not to keep an eye on her.

Li Qi is a famous person in Beijing, and the relationship between Li Qi and Xie Motong is not hidden, so Senior Master Xie could easily find out if he paid a little attention.

Ye Xingbei frowned, “Then why doesn’t grandpa do anything about it?”

“Why should he?” Gu Junzhu countered, “Li Qi isn’t married, Xie Motong isn’t married, and the Li family has a good reputation. Your grandpa probably hopes that Xie Motong can marry Li Qi.”

Ye Xingbei said, “But didn’t you say that Xie Motong is just my repla…”

She cut herself off mid-sentence, having realized the rest and swallowed the latter part back.

She and Gu Junzhu were just speculating that Li Qi was treating Xie Motong as her substitute, it wasn’t absolutely certain.

And her grandpa didn’t know anything at all.

Her grandpa probably still thought that Li Qi was attracted by Xie Motong’s beauty.

Although Xie Motong’s character wasn’t great, her looks were definitely beyond reproach, a true beauty.

Thinking of the word “substitute,” Ye Xingbei felt a mix of disgust and headache again.

She rubbed her arms and whispered to Gu Junzhu, “If Li Qi really is treating Xie Motong as my substitute, I feel very uncomfortable.”

“It’s nothing,” Gu Junzhu comforted, stroking her back, “Xie Motong isn’t even fit to carry your shoes. She is her, and you are you. I had people look into it, it was Xie Motong who seduced Li Qi first. Li Qi was harassed by her for a long time before he took her in, probably annoyed by her persistence and just playing around.”

Ye Xingbei frowned, “Does that make a difference?”

“Of course,” Gu Junzhu said, “If Li Qi had actively sought out Xie Motong, that would mean he was interested in Xie Motong and really saw her as your substitute. But the fact is that Xie Motong clung to Li Qi, which shows it wasn’t Li Qi’s subjective intention to treat Xie Motong as your substitute, but rather maybe a whim, or for some other reason, he developed an interest in Xie Motong and then took her in…”

“Uh…” Ye Xingbei was a bit dazed, “That’s too complicated, I didn’t understand.”
