Chapter 376 - 377: How Did It Go Crazy?
Ye Xingbei further enquired: “And then? They split the family?”
“They separated!” Gu Junzhu laughed heartily: “Jingyuan’s family, with all the assets inherited from their grandparents, left the Yu Family.”
Ye Xingbei prodded his cheek: “You’re laughing so happily, it must mean that after the separation, the Yu Family immediately became poor, right?” “Exactly,” Gu Junzhu nodded in approval, lightly biting her tender white finger in praise: “My wife truly is intelligent!”
“Mr. Yu was a mediocrity to begin with, and his two sons were even more useless than him. They spent lavishly, had a face to save but also loved luxuries, and were prodigal. The Yu Family only had the flashy facade left when they didn’t inherit Jingyuan’s grandparent’s assets, they lost everything.”
“Before Jingyuan’s father came of age, the Yu Family lived off the assets from Jingyuan’s grandparents.”
“After Jingyuan’s father became successful, he was a business hotshot. Everything he did turned to gold, only then did the Yu family slowly recover.” “Now, the highest earning members of the Yu family, Jingyuan and his father, left with a large portion of the family fortune inherited from Jingyuan’s grandparents. Doesn’t the Yu Family situation resemble a sky that’s caving in?”
Ye Xingbei listened with satisfaction, sighing: “I wish there were more of this kind of good and evil retribution in the world, stories like these are truly satisfying!”
She blinked, turned around, facing Gu Junzhu, “Mr. Yu and Senior Madame Yu must not be willing to let Jingyuan’s family leave, right?”
“Of course,” Gu Junzhu laughed sarcastically, “Without Jingyuan’s family to leech off, they would become penniless, and would have to watch a large part of the family assets become Jingyuan’s family’s with no relation to them. Mr. Yu and Senior Madame Yu almost went crazy from outrage.”
Ye Xingbei asked curiously: “But how did Mr. Yu and Senior Madame Yu agree to cut ties with Jingyuan’s family and their substantial family fortune? No matter what, Mr. Yu and Senior Madame Yu raised Jingyuan’s father, so they would surely use this to blackmail Jingyuan’s family, wouldn’t they?” “That’s why I keep saying my wife is smart!” As Gu Junzhu pinched Ye Xingbei’s cheeks, he sighed, “They say, a man should marry a virtuous wife! My wife is so clever, she surely won’t hold me back in the future, good, good!”
Ye Xingbei knocked his hand away, “My face is not a bun!”
What’s wrong with him, always pinching her face!
“Hmm, you’re right,” Gu Junzhu touched her cheek again, “It feels so good, how can a bun compare? It’s not a bun, it’s like a peeled egg white, so tender and smooth!”
He moved closer to bite lightly on Ye Xingbei’s face, squinting in enjoyment: “Hmm, tasty!”
Ye Xingbei: “…”
How did the Fifth Lord of Gu, despite not having his fortune stolen, also go insane?!
Ye Xingbei pushed him forcefully, “Go away! I don’t want to talk to you anymore, I want to sleep!”
She lay on her side, her alluring curves and elegant posture on full display. Her slender waist could easily be encircled with one hand, and her long, straight, pale legs were together, truly like a mermaid.
Gu Junzhu ran his palm over her graceful waistline, squinting in enjoyment, “Wife, you really are different from other girls, you’re the least curious girl I’ve ever seen. Aren’t you the least bit interested in how Jingyuan’s family managed to break free from Mr. Yu and Senior Madame Yu’s control?”
Ye Xingbei knocked his hand away, “Man proposes, God disposes! As long as one is determined, there’s hardly anything one can’t accomplish in this world! Moreover, both Jingyuan and his father are calculating and scheming people, them living peacefully with the Yu Family in the past was merely due to blood ties. After the truth came out and the blood bond tie was cut, Jingyuan’s family had plenty of ways to get out!”
“Hmm?” Gu Junzhu looked at her with interest: “If it were you, what would you do?”
