Chapter 1193: Chapter 1193: Coincidence
Duan Tiande? It seed like the judge in charge of his case also had the surna Duan.
Could it be that coincidental? Moreover, Wu Erqi, that na also sounded strangely familiar.
After pondering for a mont, Ye Fei finally recalled and let out a bitter smile. “Brother Zhao, even if you could get out right now, you’d probably only be able to take half of your revenge.”
“Why?” Zhao Xuan asked urgently.
“Because Wu Erqi is already dead,” Ye Fei said.
The guy he had slapped to death last ti because of Gu Xuehan was nad Wu Erqi, wasn’t he?
Since he was Ye Yu’s subordinate, Ye Fei had so impression of him. Now, thinking back, it seed rather lenient to have just slapped him to death.
Zhao Xuan was stunned for a mont, unsure whether to feel happy about his enemy’s death or conflicted about not being able to take revenge himself.
After a while, he asked, “How did he die?”
“Beaten to death,” Ye Fei replied honestly.
Zhao Xuan was astonished. “How could that be possible? That bastard not only had money and influence but was also a close friend of Ye Yu from the Lingyun Association. Who would dare to beat him to death?”
“Ye Yu is also dead, done by the sa person,” Ye Fei said, his tone tinged with a hint of hatred.
His second uncle, Ye Lingtian, had been killed by Ye Yu. Although he had avenged his uncle with his own hands, the hatred still lingered.
“Dead, they’re all dead,” Zhao Xuan muttered to himself, his expression fluctuating between joy, sorrow, and confusion.
At this mont, Ye Fei was quite puzzled. Wu Erqi was nothing special, but Ye Yu’s death was a sensation in Wanghai.
How could Zhao Xuan not know about it?
Unable to contain his curiosity, he asked, “Brother Zhao, hasn’t anyone told you about this?”
Zhao Xuan shook his head. “I don’t mix with those people, and I haven’t seen anyone from outside for nearly a year. How would I know?”
“But don’t you have a sister? Doesn’t she co to see you?” Ye Fei asked, feeling sowhat discontented with Zhao Xuan’s sister, whom he had never t.
Zhao Xuan shook his head again. “It’s not that she doesn’t co to see . It’s that I refuse to see her. She’s a girl, and living alone is already very difficult.
Every ti she cos to see , she insists on buying things. No matter how I try to persuade her, she won’t listen. So later, I just stopped seeing her whenever she ca.”
Only then did Ye Fei realize he had misunderstood. He felt a bit guilty. This was truly a touching brother-sister relationship.
This reminded Ye Fei of his sister and all the won around him. If one day he were in Zhao Xuan’s situation, they would surely stand by him as well. Thinking this way, he slowly began to form an idea in his mind.
anwhile, as Ye Fei was chatting with Zhao Xuan, Gu Yanping returned to Jinhai and arrived at the Gu family villa. However, as soon as she reached the entrance, she was stopped by the security guard.
This sent a chill down Gu Yanping’s spine.
This was her ho. In the past, the gatekeeper would always open the gate early when she was still far away. But this ti, she was stopped outside.
It seed that the news she had received earlier was true.
Sure enough, as Gu Yanping got out of the car, the security guard who had stopped her said, “Miss, I’m sorry, but the old master has instructed that you are not allowed to enter.”
Gu Yanping was not an ordinary person. Although this matter was a great blow to her, she quickly cald down and said indifferently, “I’ll just go in and clear things up, and then I’ll leave imdiately.”
“This…” The security guard hesitated.
Although the ultimate decision-maker in this family was the old master, everyone knew that the reason the Gu family had beco stronger over the past decade was entirely due to the efforts of the beautiful and dignified queen in front of him.
He wasn’t foolish and naturally didn’t want to offend Gu Yanping. However, letting her in without any explanation would also be hard to justify.
“Rest assured, they know you can’t stop ,” Gu Yanping said coldly and walked through the gate without paying any more attention to the security guard, who did not block her again but quickly reported the situation.
When Gu Yanping entered the hall, all the important mbers of the Gu family were there waiting for her, except for Gu Zheng, who was still in the hospital.
Her grandfather, her father, her two uncles, and her stepmother, who usually had a good relationship with her, were all her closest relatives.
But at this mont, the looks they gave her were heartbreakingly cold.
“Why did you co back? Haven’t you seen today’s newspaper?” the old master said coldly.
Gu Yanping indeed hadn’t seen today’s newspaper, but she could guess that they must have already declared their dissociation with her in the papers.
In other words, she had been abandoned by her own family.
Even though Gu Yanping was usually very calm, she was almost on the verge of breaking down at this mont and couldn’t help but ask loudly, “Why?”
Seeing Gu Yanping’s painful expression, the stepmother’s eyes flickered with a mont of pity, but the n remained cold.
The old master even said, “Why? You still have the nerve to ask why. When you decided to provoke Ye Fei, you should have anticipated this outco.”
“I was avenging my brother. What’s wrong with that?” Gu Yanping retorted.
“That’s right, Yanping was trying to avenge Xiaozheng and stand up for our Gu family. We can’t treat her this way,” the stepmother quickly interjected.
Gu Yanping’s father glared at his wife. “You shut up! Who asked you to speak here?”
“Have you ever considered that this could very well lead to the downfall of the entire Gu family?”
This ti, it was Gu Yanping’s third uncle who spoke.
In the past, this uncle had been very indulgent towards her, a kind and benevolent elder. But now, he was colder than a stranger.
Ancient Old Man continued, “Everyone must be responsible for their actions. Since it was you who provoked Ye Fei, don’t expect the entire Gu family to be sacrificed for you!”
“Alright, I understand,” Gu Yanping’s pretty face turned extrely pale as she let out a bitter smile. Inside, she felt utterly desolate. It turned out she had been wrong all along.
The family bonds she valued so much ant nothing in the face of the family’s interests.
The kindness they had shown her in the past was rely because of her business acun.
Now, having offended a powerful enemy and not even knowing if he would retaliate, they had resolutely abandoned her. These n, who shared her blood, were not even as good as a stepmother.
At this mont, Gu Yanping felt like crying, but she kept reminding herself not to shed a tear in front of these heartless people. She took another deep look at everyone, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Everyone chose to remain silent, except for the beautiful stepmother who opened her mouth but then, intimidated by a glance from her husband, decided not to say anything after all.
