C13 Gu Ye Don't Trust Me

Gu Chen turned his face away. His eyes were red, and he no longer tried to correct Old Master Gu's stubborn thoughts.

It was useless.

"Master, the young master and young lady of the Gu family are here to pay a visit."

"The Gu family?" Old Master Gu furrowed his brows. He didn't understand why the Lin family would send someone over.

They didn't have much of a relationship, but they were friends who nodded their heads. They didn't have much contact with each other and didn't have much cooperation. Why would they suddenly come here?

After that, Lin Nanyue was invited by the butler. He casually handed the gifts in his hands to the butler beside him. Lin Xishi followed him from the right. Lin Nanyue smiled and greeted her.

"I came to participate in a competition. I thought that Elder Gu was in River City. As a junior, I should come and visit him."

It was just some small talk.

Old Master Gu would not take Lin Nanyue's words to heart.

"How is it? Do you think you can win the prize in the competition?"

"Sure." Lin Nanyue curled his lips. There was no need for him to be humble when it came to things that he should be proud of.

Old Master Gu looked at Lin Nanyue's confident look and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Lin family was the best at nurturing warm jade. Although it didn't show its edge on the surface, it was still a supreme treasure in the world if it was placed there quietly.

The Lin family's Lin Nanyue had always been the model of young masters in the circle of wealthy families. He was reasonable and had high EQ. He was used to dealing with the ways of the world. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely take over the Lin family in the future, including the entire property of the Lin Family.

The little girl beside Lin Nanyue was five or six years old, and she was wearing a custom-made qipao. The crescent moon qipao was embroidered with exquisite embroidery, and her small face was exquisite. Her smile was sweet, but there was also a coldness and indifference that did not belong to her age. No one could ignore her and treat her as an ordinary child.

"Hello, Grandpa Gu." Lin Xishi greeted him politely.

Old Master Gu nodded in response.

"It's you?" Gu Chen saw Lin Xishi was stunned and blurted out.

"Oh? Xiao Chen, you know Xishi?" Old Master Gu raised his eyebrows and was slightly stunned.

However, he also felt a little happy in his heart. It would naturally be best if he could establish a relationship with the Lin family.

In terms of wealth and power, the Lin family couldn't compare with the Gu family. However, the Lin family had been rich for several generations. They had strong foundations and connections. These two points were enough for others to think of ways to climb into the Lin family.

However, the Lins didn't like to get involved in muddy water. It was rare for them to express goodwill to others, especially to families like the Gu family, which had complicated relationships.

"I was almost kidnapped today. She was the one who saved me." Gu Chen turned his head away in a somewhat awkward manner. He felt that it was a bit embarrassing.

Little girls could save people at the same age as him, but he was the one who was saved. Although he could think of a way to escape, it was still very embarrassing.

Speaking of Gu Chen's safety, Old Master Gu thought about it and sincerely thanked her. "Thank you, young lady, for today."

Miss Lin was really smart and clever.

At the same time, Old Master Gu also had an idea in his heart. He smiled and said, "My family's Xiao Chen is about the same age as Xishi. Otherwise..."

Before Old Master Gu finished speaking, Lin Xishi smiled and interrupted him. :

"Saving Young Master Gu is just convenient. Brother Ye is my little brother's classmate. Since you are already here, help my little brother ask Brother Ye."

Old Master Gu's meaning was very obvious. He wanted to bridge the bridge between her and Gu Chen so that they could get closer to the Lin family.

Speaking of Gu Ye, Old Master Gu's face darkened. The disgust in his eyes was not concealed at all. That's right. Outsiders knew that Gu Ye had never had any status in the Gu family. He was the one being bullied. As everyone knew, what was there to hide about Old Master Gu? :

"Gu Ye has made a mistake. He is punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. Butler, bring the young lady there."

The words "Young Master Gu" also pricked Old Master Gu's heart.

The eldest young master of another family was as outstanding as Lin Nanyue. The second one was Xia Feng, but the eldest son of the Gu family was given birth to by a woman like that. It was a disgrace to the Gu family.

"Thank you." Lin Xishi thanked him.

The Lin family did not want to have anything to do with the Gu family, which had fallen from grace. She also did not want to have anything to do with it.

The Gu family's relationship was too messy. Conflicts and plots were constantly going on. Every single one of them was a person who did not have to worry.

However, her heart ached for Gu Ye. It was probably because she felt pity for his background. Lin Xishi remembered a saying, Don't pull him up from the cliff, and push him in again.

She had pulled Gu Ye over. It might not be considered his salvation, but since he was already here, there was no reason for her to not do anything and stand idly by.

Lin Xishi followed the butler to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall was located in the innermost courtyard. It retained the antique furniture. It looked desolate and terrifying, but it was still the ancestral hall, so it was normal.

"Miss Lin, it is inside." The butler respectfully left.

He was slightly puzzled. Why would Miss Lin help Gu Ye? She was not afraid of getting into trouble.

Hence, only Lin Xishi and Gu Ye were left in the huge courtyard.

Lin Xishi naturally understood the meaning of the housekeeper leaving just like that. It was nothing more than a warning for her to stay away from Gu Ye.

Her world had all kinds of pampering, and Gu Ye's world was all alone.

This courtyard looked very frightening. If it was an ordinary child, they would have cried and ran out. However, Lin Xishi was not a child. She expressionlessly pushed open the door, and with a creak, the door was opened.

Gu Ye knelt on the cold floor with his head lowered. The white shirt he was wearing today was dirty. Just like when she first saw him, his body was still thin and weak. He looked like a small lonely toad.

Hearing the creaking sound of the door, Gu Ye did not have any reaction. He did not even turn his head.

"Gu Ye."

Lin Xishi's voice was sweet and soft. Her words were clear and there was a hint of coldness in them.

Hearing this familiar voice, Gu Ye's body stiffened slightly. He slowly turned his head and bumped into Lin Xishi.

She welcomed the light and the light became her background. She was like an angel who had mistakenly entered the human world and formed a sharp contrast with the defeated him.

"Xishi..." Gu Ye's voice was slightly hoarse.

After being humiliated by all kinds of words in the Gu family for so many years, he was only angry and unwilling to accept it and became numb to it now. But in front of his Xishi, he felt inferior.

Just like now, he seemed to have been stripped naked and stood naked in front of Xishi. He was so ashamed that he wished he could find a hole to hide in.

"Gu Ye, raise your head and look at me."

Lin Xishi's clean and clear eyes stared straight at Gu Ye. She gently stretched out her hand and her fair palm faced upwards and handed it to Gu Ye.

Gu Ye raised his eyes.

Lin Xishi's soft and mellow voice carried a trace of determination.

"Gu Ye, don't believe me. I want to help you, but the prerequisite is that you must cooperate with me."

She was used to seeing people's hearts clearly. Old Master Gu was stubborn and would suffer. Second Uncle Gu, Gu Yan, was arrogant. One day, he would be beaten up. Gu Chen did not have any hostility towards Gu Ye. As for the others, they were stupid and stupid.

Therefore, Gu Ye had a chance to win.
