Chapter 41: “This is some information that I was able to gather.” (2)

Ever since she was a child, Lin Xi had been used to being yelled at by Xu Jiaofeng. She was already numbed from it. Lin Xi bit her lower lip and lowered her eyes. She ignored the irrelevant shouting coming from Xu Jiaofeng.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

Gu Shao noticed all about Lin Xis submissive attitude and manner toward Xu Jiaofeng turned cold all of a sudden.

I trust that my assistant had clearly conveyed to you the purpose of my visit. If Old Mrs. Lin believes that I am here to cause trouble, that is find as well.

Gu Shaos cold look and attitude made Xu Jiaofengs heart dropped. She took half a step back reflexively.

Then there was the last thing that came out of Gu Shao. That was a blatant threat.

At this time, Song Kexin, asked to stay away by Xu Jiaofeng had also walked out of the house with a long face and leaning in Lin Yizes arms.

When she saw Gu Shao, her look immediately changed. Her deeply shameful memory that plagued her day and night came flooding back to her that very instant.

That was the darkest blemish in her life.

The wine that she drank made her lost control of herself. She had no idea what had happened but, somehow, she had taken Gu Shao as Lin Yize at the time.

Song Kexin was so distressed afterward that she had contemplated killing herself. If it was Lin Yize who had admitted to his mistake and taken care of her attentively, she would never have been able to move forward from that.

It was bad enough to have Lin Xi in front of her all the time, but now Lin Xi had to find the man and brought him to her?

Song Kexin had mistaken Gu Shao as Lin Yize that night and had completely forgotten about Gu Shao look afterward. But now, looking at Gu Shao. Song Kexin couldn't help but felt an extremely repulsiveness.

Then he turned and looked at Gu Shao.

Its nice to meet you, Boss Gu. Regardless of the hidden torrent between the two, Lin Yize still demonstrated the appropriate level of politeness and indifference toward Gu Shao.

Shall we discuss this inside? Lin Yize gestured at Gu Shao. This way please, Boss Gu.

He glanced over at Lin Xi while he was at it.

For a split second there, Lin Xi picked up a hint of Lin Yizes hatred. Her heart tightened. As frightened as she was deep inside of her, as though reflexively, she placed herself in front of Gu Shao.

It was an obvious protective stance.

Never mind that Lin Xis small body had nothing to do with the word protective no matter how one looked at it.

A hint of surprise flashed past Gu Shaos normally calm and indifferent eyes. Lin Yize, too, gave Lin Xi a profound look.

The atmosphere became awkward for a little while there.

At this time, Gu Shao pulled Lin Xi back next to him and blocked her from Lin Yizes look.

Lets go.
