Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 740: Chapter 744: Fifth Lord of Gu’s Questioning

Ye Xingbei: “…”

Even if we’re the same age, at least he could call me uncle, or give some semblance of respecting his elders, right?

Why is he behaving so immaturely!

Gu Chi’s efficiency is unquestionable. In less than an hour, actually in just over half an hour, he had brought Mi Sheng back.

Mi Sheng rushed into the living room, but was stunned to see Qiao Zui sitting on the sofa.

Seeing Mi Sheng’s shocked face, Ye Xingbei knew that Gu Chi must have tricked her using the method she had taught him.

Seeing her pale face, it was clear that she had feelings for Qiao Zui.

This confirmed what Junzhu had said, Yi Xinning, in an attempt to separate Qiao Zui and Mi Sheng, must have been meddling behind the scenes.

Mi Sheng looked at Junzhu and Ye Xingbei who were sitting next to Qiao Zui, and felt awkward and shy.

Ye Xingbei walked over, holding her arm, whispered, “Xiao Mi, I don’t know what sort of misunderstanding might have transpired between you and Xiao Qiao. Can we just talk it out? You abruptly left, which Qiao Zui couldn’t handle. He came back and drank a whole bottle of liquor, smashed the bottle, and almost fell onto the shattered glass. Thanks to Junzhu’s timely support, he was spared of getting hurt. If he had been injured, you would’ve been heartbroken too, am I right, Xiao Mi?”

Hearing Ye Xingbei’s words, Mi Sheng immediately anxiously examined Qiao Zui.

Seeing that other than a handprint on his face, Qiao Zui seemed fine, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Junzhu coldly looked at her, “Sit.”

Mi Sheng shivered, her heart tightening, her scalp tingling.

Probably due to the generational difference and Junzhu’s commanding aura, Mi Sheng had always held Junzhu in awe. Seeing Junzhu would invariably cause her to straighten her back, afraid to even breathe too loudly.

Seeing Junzhu’s cold expression now, her heart fluttered uncontrollably.

She was both flustered and scared.

Even the strictest head teacher from her childhood didn’t make her feel this nervous.

Her face white as a sheet from anxiety, she unconsciously moved to sit across from Junzhu. She sat rigidly, her heart thumping as if she were a candidate facing an interviewer.

Junzhu looked at her, and said coldly: “Miss Mi, haven’t you heard the phrase ‘Don’t lead on someone unless you intend to marry them. The reverse is true – if you don’t want to marry someone, don’t flirt with them! You accepted Xiao Qiao’s ring, and he fell for you completely. But suddenly, you went cold without any explanation. Are you playing with Xiao Qiao’s feelings?”

“No, it’s not like that…” Mi Sheng shook her head anxiously, “I didn’t, I am not…”

“I didn’t, I am not, I do not want to,” Junzhu laughed coldly, “If these phrases could absolve someone of their crimes, we wouldn’t have so many prisoners! The problem here is not about what your intentions were, but the consequences of your actions! Now, the outcome is that you have hurt Xiao Qiao! You are not married to him yet, free to choose your spouse, no one has the right to interfere. But you need to give a reason for accepting Xiao Qiao only to instantly abandon him. Are you testing your charm and manipulating him for amusement?”

“No, I didn’t, I’m not…” Mi Sheng, her face white from being questioned, kept shaking her head. “I didn’t play with his feelings. I was serious towards him, I just… I just… have my reasons…”

“Reasons?” Junzhu sneered, “Mi Sheng, if you truly like Xiao Qiao, you should be sincere to him. Perhaps you haven’t heard of this saying, misunderstandings are more poisonous than venomous snakes. Many men and women part ways because of minor misunderstandings and the reasons these misunderstandings occur is because of what?”
