BXBX NOVEL Chapter 123 - 123: Caught in a Dilemma
Gu Chi solemnly agreed, “Yes, Young Master!”
He waved outside and two bodyguards came in. Regardless of whether Xiang Bingzhi’s arm was broken or not, each one grabbed one of her arms and dragged her out like a dead dog.
Xiang Bingzhi has a fiery temper, being impulsive, reckless and daring to do anything in the heat of the moment.
But when Gu Junzhu’s voice echoed in her ears, hearing Gu Junzhu’s statement “Tell Han Qiaoye, if she can ever get out of jail in this life, let him and his team of lawyers get out,” she suddenly sobered up.
This isn’t the past!
She is no longer the young lady of the Xiang family who was able to do anything she wanted, knowing that no matter who she offended or what trouble she caused, someone would always clean up the mess with no consequences.
When she came to the Gu family today, she came to plead for mercy.
Her grandfather and maternal grandfather said that only if she could obtain Gu Junzhu’s forgiveness could her family suppress the scandal she created and spare her from prison.
But, she was too jealous of Ye Xingbei.
The heat of jealousy made her forget her grandparents’ warnings.
At that time, her entire being was drowned in hatred, her mind blank, only thinking that she absolutely could not let Ye Xingbei go to the Xie family’s, or let Ye Xingbei take her place there.
She forgot that her fate was in Gu Junzhu’s hands.
If Gu Junzhu was willing to let her go, the Xiang and Xie families could settle the matter.
Even if she lost her reputation and couldn’t be as glamorous as before, at least she would not go to jail.
But now, because of her impulsiveness, she picked up a knife to stab Ye Xingbei, all her pleading just now was in vain!
When she sobered up, she was scared.
She struggled desperately, begging for mercy through her crying, “I was wrong! Fifth Master, I was wrong! I beg you, please, for the sake of my grandfather and maternal grandfather, spare me! I will not dare to do it again, I really won’t dare to do it again in the future! I beg you, I beg you! Eldest cousin, second cousin, please beg Fifth Master for me, I don’t want to go to jail! I don’t want to go to jail!”
Gu Junzhu coldly watched Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei, the cold light in his eyes flashing, signifying he might throw them out too if they dared to plead for Xiang Bingzhi.
Fifth Lord of Gu, with his full aura open, had an extremely intimidating presence.
The domineering aura of a king was all-encompassing, causing people to want to bow their heads in submission involuntarily, daring not to oppose him.
Xie Yunlin, the first successor of the Xie Family, a man who has seen countless important figures and scenes with his grandfather, under Gu Junzhu’s aura, felt completely suppressed.
He felt a chill run down his spine, and subconsciously wanted to avoid Gu Junzhu’s gaze.
But he persevered.
He couldn’t back down!
Backing down a bit in the past was fine, but not anymore in the future.
He didn’t know how Gu Junzhu and his sister got together, but now, Gu Junzhu and his sister are a couple.
When a girl gets married, her family must stand strong so her husband’s family wouldn’t dare to bully her casually.
It was okay to yield to Gu Junzhu in the past when their interests did not conflict.
But, it’s not okay anymore.
He must stand up for his sister!
Gu Junzhu may indeed be the only heir of the Gu family.
But he, Xie Yunlin, is not inferior!
Although the Xie family’s rank in Beijing is not as high as the Gu family, he, Xie Yunlin, is also a leader among his peers.
He dares not say anything else, but he is able to stand up for his sister!
He forced himself not to avoid Gu Junzhu’s gaze, looked into Gu Junzhu’s eyes and said, “A prince’s crime is no different from a commoner’s crime. However it ought to be judged, I have no opinion.”
Ye Xingbei is his own sister.
If Gu Junzhu is willing to stand up for his sister, how could he, her brother, drag her down?
Though Xiang Bingzhi is also their cousin, a cousin is not as close as a sister.
If they dare not treat their sister well, they wouldn’t dare to go to their parents’ graves to pay homage in the future.
Xie Jinfei watched Xiang Bingzhi being dragged out by the Gu Family’s bodyguards like a dead dog, his expression somewhat struggled..
