Chapter 561: Chapter 565 Leaving_1

"This guy called Yang Gang really doesn’t take our Xiao family seriously, does he?" In the midst of silence, a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit suddenly spoke up.

His words broke the silence of the Blue Moon Pavilion, causing a flurry of whispering and discussion among those present.

"For the first time in our history, the Xiao family invited someone who is not officially a member of our family lineage to a family banquet, only to be stood up. Isn’t this blatantly disrespecting our Xiao family?"

"There’s nothing we can do; our Xiao family has already fallen into such decline. Even stray cats and dogs don’t take us seriously." Someone spoke out in a mocking tone.

..

Xiao Yuanshan and Qu Ting were extremely embarrassed.

Qu Ting glared at Su Xiaoxi and coldly said, "Little Xi, where is Yang Gang?"

Su Xiaoxi’s expression was bland. She picked up the glass of water on the table, took a sip, and then said lightly, "Isn’t it not yet mealtime?"

Qu Ting was annoyed, "Do you think we invited him here for a meal?"

Su Xiaoxi looked surprised, "Huh? Isn’t it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, someone smacked the table in anger, "Su Xiaoxi! Quit causing trouble in our Xiao family. You’ve even changed your surname, what right do you have to sit at the Xiao family’s banquet?!"

Su Xiaoxi didn’t bother looking at the enraged man, but cast her gaze on Xiao Shenwei instead.

Xiao Shenwei took a sip of his tea, his face wearing a smirk.

"Hmm...Little Xi, it seems we’re not particularly welcome here, perhaps we should leave?" At this point, Zhang Miao suddenly suggested.

"Miao Miao..." Xiao Haotian was somewhat awkward.

"Humph! Chief, I’m not criticising your family’s education, but look at the conduct of your daughter and daughter-in-law - it’s downright disrespectful!" someone said.

Xiao Yuanshan felt incredibly awkward.

Just then, a voice sounded at the door: "Sorry, I’m late."

The voice of Yang Gang.

Xiao Yuanshan heaved a sigh of relief, but he silently cursed Yang Gang in his heart.

Yang Gang ignored the many stares directed at him and calmly took a seat next to Su Xiaoxi.

"Hey, kid, aren’t you going to explain yourself?" someone asked.

Yang Gang looked puzzled: "Explain what? Am I late? I don’t think so."

"Although you’re not late, you’ve kept us all waiting for you. Shouldn’t you apologize to us? What kind of manners!" The middle-aged man started again.

"Manners? Hmm... It’s quite novel hearing this from you. You, an elder who likes to take every opportunity to demean the younger generation, even the heavens would be ashamed for you." Yang Gang had no fear and retorted right away.

Su Xiaoxi looked at Yang Gang in surprise.

She hadn’t expected Yang Gang to be so bold.

"You..."

After Yang Gang’s merciless reprimand, the man’s face had turned the color of liver.

The rest of the people didn’t glare at Yang Gang, instead, they were snickering at the middle-aged man.

Seeing this, Yang Gang sighed inward: "As expected, the Xiao family is divided from the inside, with no unity whatsoever."

A moment later, Li Qing brought Gu Xiaorou and sat next to Yang Gang.

No one dared to object to Li Qing’s action. Not only was he the Guardian God of the Xiao family, but he could also be considered the Guardian War God of the entire Xiao family.

The arrival of Gu Xiaorou didn’t meet any opposition. In fact, many had a glint in their eyes upon seeing Gu Xiaorou’s beauty.

"Xiaorou, how old are you?"

"20"

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No."

"Should I introduce someone to you?"

"Sure."

Throughout the process, Gu Xiaorou remained calm and composed, her face adorned with a smile.

Zhang Miao was surprised, thinking to herself, "Has Xiaorou really given up on Gangzi?"

At that moment, Xiao Shenwei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, "Gentlemen, don’t get your hopes up. Gu Xiaorou’s already taken."

"What? By who?"

Gu Xiaorou biting her lip, suddenly interrupted, "No! I don’t have anyone I like, Elder Shenwei, please don’t spread rumors!"

"No, Elder Shenwei is not spreading rumors. Gu Xiaorou and Yang Gang have been secretly together for a while, and they’ve already slept together. Yang Gang personally admitted it just now. Isn’t that right, Mr. Yang Gang?" Zhang Yu’s voice suddenly sounded from the doorway.

Gu Xiaorou lowered her head, trembling visibly, her fingers digging into her flesh.

The crowd broke into an uproar.

Zhang Miao frowned, "Xia Yu, why are you here?"

"I invited him. As a member of the Xiao Family’s Elders Association, I should have that right, right?" Xiao Shenwei cracked a smile, "Let me introduce you, this is my friend, Zhang Yu, also Gu Xiaorou’s ex-boyfriend. They were forced to break up due to someone else’s intervention."

Again, the crowd erupted into whispers.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Yang Gang, Gu Xiaorou, and Su Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaorou suddenly got up, deeply bowed towards Su Xiaoxi, "Sister Xiaoxi, I’m sorry."

As she looked up, her face was already streaked with tears.

After speaking, Gu Xiaorou covered her mouth and ran right out.

"Xiaorou..." Su Xiaoxi watched the figure of Gu Xiaorou disappearing into the night with a complicated expression.

Yang Gang also slowly stood up, walked up to Zhang Yu, and slapping him right across the face, "Zhang Yu, you’re really despicable!"

Then, Yang Gang looked at Xiao Shenwei, who was wearing a look of amusement, and calmly said, "Xiao Shenwei, I, Yang Gang, swear here that the humiliation today will be returned a hundredfold someday."

Xiao Shenwei grinned without concern, "Just with your telekinesis ability? You do know that under a hundred times gravity, your telekinesis can’t even move a knife."

Yang Gang took a deep breath, then exhaled, his expression had gone cold, "Then let’s wait and see."

Having said that, he left the main villa of the Xiao family.

When he returned to the villa on top of the hill, there was no sign of Gu Xiaorou.

There was only a note left on the table-

"Gangzi, please take care of my father. And, although loving you has been hard, I don’t regret it. Gangzi, it was good to have met you in this life."

Yang Gang discarded the note and started desperately looking for Gu Xiaorou around the island, continuing his search until dawn broke, but to no avail.

As dawn broke, Zhang Miao came over. She looked at Yang Gang, who was lying exhausted on the beach, his expression one of utter despair, and felt a pinch in her heart.

She walked over and cradled Yang Gang in her arms, "Gangzi, I’ve just received news that Xiaorou left Crow Feather Island alone on a wooden raft last night. Her whereabouts are unknown. Xiao Haotian has mobilized all resources from the Xiao family to look for her, but so far, they haven’t found any leads. The good news is, there haven’t been any reports of someone dying at sea."

After a brief pause, she continued, "If Xiaorou intentionally hides from us, it will be very hard for us to find her."

"Does this mean we might never see Xiaorou again?" Yang Gang replied hoarsely.

Zhang Miao remained silent, not answering.

Though she wanted to comfort Yang Gang by saying that Xiaorou would be back soon, she knew the girl’s character well. Xiaorou would probably avoid showing herself until she has completely moved on from her feelings for Yang Gang. But could she really ever fully forget about seven years of affection?

On the beach, Su Xiaoxi silently watched Zhang Miao and Yang Gang ’embracing’ each other.
