The Expensive Ex-Wife of a Wealthy Family [10]

Novel by: Yuèxià Xiāohún

Translation by: Aidoru Apple

Gu Beichen stood at the corner with his hands in his pockets. After Jian Mo

looked over, he narrowed his eyes, "Huang Ju, what a coincidence!"

When Huang Ju heard that there was a stranger, he hurriedly let go of Jian Mo,

saw that it was Gu Beichen, and suddenly smiled, "Young Master Gu is here to

dine too…" He thought of Jian Mo that was next to him, and embarrassingly

explained, "Xiao Jian, be careful when walking and don't fall on me again."

It became her that seduced him…

Jian Mo secretly slandered, tugged the corner of her mouth, and said, "Thank

you, Huang Ju… if not, I would really fall." She gracefully ended her words

and immediately excused herself, "Huang Ju, I'll go back to the hall

first."

She did not wait for Huang Ju to speak, ignored the tingling sensation in her

ankle, and rashly passed by and left Gu Beichen… The only thing was that when

she made her way by his side, she felt the cold air pressure emanating from

him.

Back in the hall, Jian Mo said that she had accidentally sprained her foot and

wanted to leave first after saying her greetings.

Tang Haoyang did not have the chance of meeting Gu Beichen and the men kept

gawking at Jian Mo. Fearing that she would suffer, he agreed to her

withdrawal.

As Jian Mo was close to having her freedom, she quickly left without concern

for everyone's eyes… But as she turned towards the corridor, she met Xiao

Jing.1

"Miss Jian, Young Master Gu asked for you to wait in his car!"

To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Xiao Jing always called her Miss Jian

and would not address her with fancy honorifics such as Young Madame.

The corners of Jian Mo's mouth twitched, "Can I not go?"

Xiao Jing said with a soft smile, "Young Master said it was possible!"

Jian Mo let out a sigh of relief when she heard it… it was just her breath

that stopped and was choked on Xiao Jing's following words.

"However, Young Master Gu said… If you don't go, don't mention any of your

conditions." Xiao Jing's words meant something.

The corners of Jian Mo's mouth continued to twitch and reluctantly followed

Xiao Jing towards the luxurious and domineering Spyker.

Probably, Xiao Jing sent a message to Gu Beichen that this young master

promptly arrived… it was no more than ten minutes.

"Go to Tiantang Ye!" Gu Beichen ordered after getting in the car.

Xiao Jing acknowledged, started the car, and drove towards Tiantang Ye… and he

focused on driving and ignored the tricky ambiance of the two people sitting

in the back of the car.

After arriving at Tiantang Ye, Jian Mo knew she made a mistake today… Well,

she did not think of it as a mistake but still obediently followed Gu Beichen

out of the car all the way to the room.

There were already several people inside. When they saw that Gu Beichen

brought Jian Mo in, they were startled and frowned. Then, they sent the women

around them.

Jian Mo knew these people, the legendary four young masters of Luo City!

Excluding Gu Beichen, the oldest, Long Xiao; the second, Li Yunze; and the

fourth, Lin Xiangnan… She knew these people but have not met them and they

only knew of each other's existences.

"Tsk, tsk, what's happening?" Lin Xiangnan patted Gu Beichen, looked at his

long face, and could not help but glance at Jian Mo, "Tell me Third

Sister-in-law, what's wrong with the Third Brother?"

Since getting married, Gu Beichen never brought Jian Mo to their gathering of

four friends. Truthfully, Jian Mo was not familiar with them and only knew

their identity, which was a common topic in online magazines and newspapers.

Jian Mo's mouth twitched and tried to politely smile… but could not help but

laugh in this atmosphere.

Long Xiao and Li Yunze silently looked at each other and then both looked at

Gu Beichen.

Gu Beichen took a cigarette, lit it without saying anything, and just stayed

rigid…

Lin Xiangnan was the most playful of the four. Regardless of others, directly

went to Jian Mo and asked, "Third Sister-in-law, what is wrong with Third

Brother?"

Jian Mo was slightly unaccustomed to Lin Xiangnan's address of "Third

Sister-in-law". Others were unaware of the things going on with her and Gu

Beichen, but she knew that these people understood, "I, I don't know…"

She did not know whether Gu Beichen was angry because she sold her designs in

the afternoon or because she was caught in that bloody accident with Huang Ju…

But from the moment he arrived in the car, this person was silent. She was not

the worm in his stomach and could not guess his mind.

"What does Xiao Jian like to drink? Let Xiangnan get some…" Li Yunze asked to

break the ice.

Lin Xiangnan also felt that the atmosphere was not right so he instantly

inquired, "Yes. What does Third Sister-in-law drink?"

"I just…" Jian Mo's mouth slightly twitched and she became embarrassed, "Thank

you."

"No. We're all family. You're welcome." Lin Xiangnan peeked at Gu Beichen,

"What does Third Brother think?"

Gu Beichen was still cold.

Everyone noticed that the atmosphere was stiff, but they were already familiar

with it. Long Xiao said, "If there's anything that's needed to be solved, just

fix it. What can a cold war do?"

Gu Beichen directly tapped out the cigarette in the ashtray, "I'll leave now.

Today's my treat…" As he spoke, he pulled Jian Mo up without having an ounce

of gentleness. Without paying attention if she stably stood, he pulled her and

walked out.

Jian Mo had a sprained foot and was pulled by him so hard that her feet became

unsteady… It was obvious that Gu Beichen did not care so she stubbornly

endured the pain.

Gu Beichen stuffed Jian Mo inside the car and coldly ordered, "Go Back to Lan

Ze Yuan."

Xiao Jing glanced to the back seat from the rearview mirror, started the car,

and drove to Lan Ze Yuan… On the way, he felt that the atmosphere seemed to be

stiffer when they arrived.

Gu Beichen walked inside the house as soon as he alighted from the car.

Jian Mo got out of the car and watched his back. She felt aggrieved but tried

to calm herself…

Enduring the pain from her ankle, Jian Mo entered the house, pretended to

smile, and said, "Are you angry?"

Gu Beichen looked at Jian Mo with dark eyes, grabbed her, and threw her into

the sofa. With that, he also pressed unto her…

Jian Mo's injured feet slanted again because of force. She almost shed tears

due to pain.

"Jian Mo, are you short of money?"

"Huh?" Jian Mo could not react because she was enduring the pain.

Gu Beichen's eyes grew darker, "Gu Beichen's wife needs to go to a charity

auction to sell her design? Gu Beichen's wife needs to have a relationship

with a man like Huang Ju? Huh?"

"I don't have…" Jian Mo painfully frowned.

"No?" Gu Beichen sneered, "You didn't sell the design or I'm not making any

sense…"

"Half of the payment of my designs are also for the charity…" Jian Mo

evasively replied. She felt wronged but was still strong-willed that she

forgot to approach softly, "About Huang Ju, I didn't seduce him… If you don't

believe, then don't!"

The more she talked, the more she felt worse but still endured the pain in her

ankle and heart. She pushed Gu Beichen, "I'm tired. Let me sleep today."

Gu Beichen did not move but continued to press Jian Mo's shoulder… From the

beginning of their marriage to the present, he never interfered with her life.

It can be said that they have not gone to bed as much as they got along.

But when Gu Beichen's woman needed money, she would sell her sketches… If she

were harassed, would she only be wronged and would not speak up?

What the hell is with the charity? If this were the reason, she would not be

afraid to look at him in the eyes this afternoon!

"Tomorrow, go and quit your job!" Gu Beichen coldly said, "You need to rely on

unspoken rules for such high technical job. What are you even doing?"
