Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 739: Chapter 743: Training the Nephew into a Grandson

“I knew it was her doing!” Gu Junzhu sneered, “Last night, she saw Mi Sheng and acted as if she had seen a ghost. Her daughter, Fang Mingzhu, was then making a fuss, insisting that she was your fiancée, huh.”

Gu Junzhu sneered again and instructed Gu Qi, “Find out what the relationship is between Mi Sheng’s mother and Yi Xinning.”

Gu Qi replied, “Young master, this might take some time.”

This wasn’t a matter that could be resolved by hackers. They would need people to search for those familiar with Mi Sheng’s mother and Yi Xinning to gather information.

Some secrets of the aristocrats are well hidden; it may take a fortnight, maybe even more, to uncover them.

It would depend on their luck and the other party’s ability to conceal their secrets.

Gu Junzhu ordered, “As quickly as possible!”

Gu Qi responded loudly.

After Gu Junzhu hung up the phone with Gu Qi, he dialed Gu Chi,’ “Xiao Chi, send someone to bring Mi Sheng back.”

Gu Chi hesitated a bit, “Young master, Miss Mi Sheng seems to be in a bad mood, I’m afraid she might not agree to come back.”

On seeing the slap mark on Qiao Zui’s face, Gu Junzhu sneered coldly, “If she doesn’t want to, find a way to make her want to. I want to see her within an hour!”

The tone of Gu Junzhu was so shocking that Ye Xingbei, out of fear that Gu Chi would misunderstand and go hard on Mi Sheng, causing troubles, quickly added, “Xiao Chi, don’t act rashly. You can try other methods, like telling Xiao Mi that Xiao Qiao’s arm injury has recurred and she has fainted from the pain. She keeps mentioning her name. Ask her if she’d be willing to come and check on Xiao Qiao.”

“Yes, Young Madam,” Gu Chi answered, “I understand.”

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xingbei let out a sigh and asked Qiao Zui, “Do you know what the relationship is between Xiao Mi’s mother and Fang Yixian’s mother?”

“I’m not sure,” Qiao Zui shook his head, “Brother Yao never mentioned it.”

Ye Xingbei looked at the slap mark on his face, frowned, and rose to fetch an ice cube. She wrapped it in a towel and handed it to him to cool down his swelling.

She observed that whenever the Fifth Lord of Gu saw the slap mark on Qiao Zui’s face, his rage shot straight to the roof.

This man was just stubborn. He openly showed disdain for his nephew, but he was probably cherishing him inside. The slap mark on Qiao Zui’s face was as if it hit right on his heart.

Qiao Zui took the ice cube wrapped in a towel and quietly thanked her, “Thank you, Auntie.”

“It’s okay,” Ye Xingbei brewed another pot of tea for Gu Junzhu and handed it to him, “Have some tea to calm down. Don’t be so irate. You’re heating up the whole room.”

“I’m not angry,” the Fifth Lord of Gu sipped his tea, his voice finally sounding less harsh, no longer wrapped in the icy rage. “I’m just disappointed. Look at him, a man in his twenties and yet lacks resolution.”

Ye Xingbei glanced at him, “Isn’t that precisely why you are the uncle, and he isn’t? Isn’t it perfectly normal for one to lose control when faced with heartbreak? If he wasn’t affected at all, it would mean he has a heart of stone, that would be abnormal!”

“Can losing control bring his wife back?” Gu Junzhu sneered, “If he gets drunk and kills himself, will the problem be solved? Will Mi Sheng come back? It’s a miracle he only lost an arm with his fait. It’s lucky for him that he’s alive!”

Qiao Zui held the ice against his face, being held in contempt by his good uncle and being lectured like a grandson, he lowered his head and apologized sincerely, “Uncle, I was wrong. I was too impulsive. I’ll change.”

Gu Junzhu snorted, turned his back to him and sipped his tea, deciding that out of sight is out of mind.
