"Prince Arthur? The playboy? " Feng Zexi grew even more doubtful. "No, how could Little Sister know him?"

"I will explain this matter to you in the future. I still have some matters to clear up, so I can't find the girl right now. I'll leave the girl to you then." Gu Yu Chen said calmly.

"Chen, don't forget what I said. If you fail to live up to little Xiao Xiao, I will definitely take her away from your side." After Feng Zxi finished speaking, he hung up without giving Gu Yuchen a chance to speak. He was worried about Mu Xiaoxiao's safety, so he didn't have the mood to say anything to Gu Yuchen.

After he hung up the phone, he discovered that he was already outside Jiang Qinglian's room. He lightly knocked on the door, and the people inside seemed to know that it was him, and directly said, "Come in, son."

Gu Yu Chen extended his hand and pushed open the door. He strode into the room with a cold expression on his face and closed the door behind him. From the moment he entered the room, Jiang Qinglian had been sitting with her back to him. She continued to speak, "Son, sit wherever you like."

Gu Yu Chen walked towards the sofa in the room without any expression, as if the gentle Gu Yu Chen from before was a fake. He lazily sat down on the sofa and didn't say a word.

When Jiang Qing Lian heard that Gu Yu Chen had taken his seat, she let go of her busy schedule and turned to walk in his direction. She smiled at him and said, "I knew it, you wouldn't have been able to hold back and come looking for me. I just didn't expect you would be here so soon."

A devilish smile appeared on Gu Yu Chen's face, it was as if he had seen through everything, "Mom, do you owe me an explanation?"

"Haha …" Jiang Qinglian suddenly laughed out loud. "I knew it! No one would be able to hide it from my son."

"…" Gu Yuchen instantly felt cold sweat trickle down his back. Why did he feel that his mother was suffering from a personality disorder?

Seeing Gu Yu Chen's expression darken, Jiang Qing Lian did not tease him anymore. She continued, "Do you think that Xiao-er will be able to win against Yue Zhi Ning if she stays at the Gu household?" Gu Yuchen looked at Jiang Qinglian with a deeper meaning. He had the nagging feeling that he had underestimated his mother's IQ.

If this continued, it would be a matter of time before Xiao'er was chased out of the Gu family by her grandfather. At that time, it would be even harder for you to see Xiao'er again than ascending to heaven. Since that's the case, why don't you let Xiao'er leave on her own now?

"So you're saying that everything you've done was done on purpose for Yue ZhiNing to see?" Gu Yu Chen finally understood why his mother was able to be chosen by his father amongst so many beauties. It turned out his mother wasn't a woman with an empty story.

"Of course, Xiao'er is the child that I watched grow up. Don't you know what she is like? Actually, Grandfather is very clear that because the marriage between the Gu and Yue Clans is imminent, your Grandfather doesn't want to give birth to a new generation just because of a little girl. After all, the Gu Clan is your Grandfather's life's work and effort, and he will absolutely not allow anyone to affect the future of the Gu Clan. " Jiang Qinglian said sincerely, "You and Xiao-er still have a long way to go if you want to be together …"

"I know, I'll go look for Xi first." Gu Yu Chen said calmly.

Jiang Qing Lian looked at Gu Yu Chen with a puzzled expression. Shouldn't her son look for Xiao'er first? Why would he look for Feng Zexi? Gu Yu Chen looked at his mother, who looked like she was begging for an explanation, and said, "I'm not at ease with the little girl, I've already sent Xi Xi to find her."

"Oh …" Jiang Qinglian smiled as if she suddenly understood something. Gu Yuchen looked at his mother's expression and wondered if he had gotten a fake mother. He shook his head helplessly and left.

When Gu Yu Chen went downstairs, he saw that Yue ZhiNing was still standing in the living room. He gave her a quick glance before walking past her. As if unwilling to give up, Yue ZhiNing grabbed Gu Yu Chen's arm, "Chen, where are you going?" She looked at Gu Yuchen with tears in her eyes, looking like she was the target of tender affection.

But in Gu Yu Chen's eyes, no matter how he looked, this woman in front of him made him feel disgusted. He suddenly pulled his hand away, causing Yue Zhi Ning to lose her balance and almost fall to the ground. Gu Yu Chen didn't even have the slightest intention of showing mercy to her, he looked at her with a sharp gaze, "You don't have to bother with my matters." His tone was as cold as a thousand year old ice. He did not even care about Yue ZhiNing's feelings, and coldly said once again, "I already said, you better end this ridiculous farce, otherwise, don't worry about how heartless I am to you."

"Gu Yuchen, let me tell you as well. I will never give up on you. Absolutely not." Yue ZhiNing's tears rolled down her face. Since young, she had never been humiliated like this before. However, no matter how much Gu Yuchen humiliated her, she could not give up on her status as Young Lady Gu, which she was about to get.

"Hmph, it's up to you." Gu Yu Chen snorted coldly, turned around, and left the Gu household.

Ever since Mu Xiaoxiao had left the Gu household with Arthur, she had been wandering the streets penniless. She had originally planned to look for Su Mo, but after thinking about the situation he was in at home, she decided not to cause her any more trouble.

Arthur followed behind Mu Xiaoxiao as she strolled along the street. Mu Xiaoxiao impatiently turned to look at Arthur behind her, and said with slight displeasure, "Young Master Ye, I thank you for bringing me out from the Gu family. But if you have any matters, please go and busy yourself with them."

"You don't have any place to go, do you?" Arthur smiled, and said indifferently, his tone filled with concern, "How about, you go to my place."

"Young Master Ye, I'm still not familiar with you yet. Do you want to go to your place?" Mu Xiaoxiao retracted her head and said with a proud and pampered expression on her face. Although she was poor, she was poor to the point of having a backbone.

"Haha, what a stubborn little girl." Arthur stretched out his hand to stroke Mu Xiaoxiao's little head. Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and dodged his large hand. Arthur's hand, which he had just extended, awkwardly paused in midair. Mu Xiaoxiao widened her eyes and looked at Arthur with a pouting expression. As she looked at Arthur, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Am I that funny?" Mu Xiaoxiao said angrily. She took out the veil Su Mo had bought for her from her bag and brought it to her face.

Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao's actions, Arthur finally realized that the little girl actually cared about this. He looked at her with a pained expression. "I didn't mean it that way. I didn't mean it as a joke. I just thought …" "You are very cute."
