Chapter 694: Chapter 698: New Grievances, Old Hatreds, Emotional Outbursts
The Fifth Lord of Gu reflected on his behavior, acknowledging that a man who bullies his wife is not a good man. Since Ye Xiaobei was so angry, he decided he would become… Hmm, a wolf in fine clothing!
He leisurely followed Ye Xingbei down the stairs.
After descending the staircase, Ye Xingbei headed straight to the kitchen.
Fortunately, perhaps due to the late bedtime the night before, Mi Sheng and Situ Jinse were still asleep.
The kitchen was bustling with chefs showcasing their skills. A sumptuous breakfast was being prepared, with nothing requiring her immediate attention.
Seeing everything run smoothly, she felt reassured that no matter what time Mi Sheng and Situ Jinse woke up, they would be able to enjoy a fresh and hot breakfast. She left the kitchen and headed to the backyard to check on her son and Lingyue.
Just as she reached the bottom of the living room stairs, a car swerved in, driven by Yu Nuo.
She froze in surprise.
Yu Nuo opened the car door and rolled out onto the ground.
Shocked, Ye Xingbei rushed down the steps to Yu Nuo’s side. “Yu Nuo?”
Yu Nuo’s face was bruised and bloody. He lay collapsed on the ground but was still clutching a thermos.
The Gu Family’s bodyguards rushed over, all asking, “Yu Nuo, what happened?”
Ye Xingbei scooped Yu Nuo up into her arms, her hands shaking at the sight of his beaten face. “Yu Nuo, who did this to you?”
“It was Ye Weiyang and Ye Weizhi…” stuttered Yu Nuo, blood dripping from his mouth, “I…I waited in line for a long time to buy the dumplings the young master wanted. Ye Weiyang demanded I give them up. I refused, we fought, they…they had more people…but…”
He shoved the thermos into Ye Xingbei’s arms, and despite everything, a smile crept onto his face. “I…I managed to retrieve the dumplings.”
The thermos was covered in blood.
The sight of the bright red blood pained both Ye Xingbei’s eyes and her heart.
Memories she had forcibly forgotten passed through her mind like a movie: face after face of bullying oppressors from the past flashing by, each etched with a triumphant smirk.
She was shaking with rage.
The Ye Family had gone too far!
She handed off the thermos and Yu Nuo to one of the bodyguards, and then she jumped into Yu Nuo’s car.
The steering wheel was also covered with blood. Grabbing it smeared her hands with blood, but she didn’t care.
She reversed the car, whipped the steering wheel around, and with a firm foot pressed on the accelerator, the car shot out like a runaway beast.
Gu Chi immediately shouted into his Bluetooth headset, “Team one, quickly, quickly, bring the cars around.”
The response in the headset was immediate: “Understood, arriving immediately.”
Gu Chi switched channels, “Young Master, Yu Nuo has been beaten by the Ye Family members. The Young Madam has driven off alone.”
As he was speaking, several SUVs rolled out from the direction of the garage.
Running towards the SUVs, Gu Chi clung onto the roof, slipped in through the window, and took the passenger’s seat. He continued communicating, “I’m taking team one to pursuit.”
Inside his study, Gu Junzhu slammed the computer shut, got up, and walked out. “You go ahead, I’ll follow. No matter what happens, don’t let Ye Xiaobei suffer any injustice and ensure her safety at all costs.”
Gu Chi responded loudly, “Yes, Young Master!”
Ye Xingbei put pedal to the metal, her car whizzing down the mountain road at an extreme speed.
Chi Yu’s car passed hers on the mountain road. He saw Ye Xingbei driving with icy eyes and an aura of wicked intent.
He frowned and instructed, “Pull over.”
Duanmu Ying, who was sitting next to him, asked, “Brother Yu, what’s happened?”
