Chapter 1527: Chapter 1531: Too Annoying!
These were her genuine feelings.
Because Gu Junzhu had power and influence, and others couldn’t afford to provoke him, it gave her the confidence to fiercely push back against those she found displeasing.
Thinking about it this way, being a woman actually has its perks.
Some say that when a woman gets married, she becomes like spilled water in her family, instantly becoming an outsider.
In her husband’s family, they see her as someone married in from another family, unreliable because of the different surname.
Only after years of being a daughter-in-law and finally becoming the matriarch does she truly establish her footing and gain a say in the family.
But regarding those sayings, Ye Xingbei felt they were half right and half wrong.
If one ended up with a bad family and a bad in-law family, those sayings would be accurate.
But if one had a good family and good in-laws, then they weren’t true.
Just like her, she had two brothers who doted on her, called her regularly, sent people to deliver gifts, and visited her at the Gu Family whenever they could, always bringing gifts, never empty-handed.
Ye Xingbei knew her brothers were providing her with support and showing the Gu family that she was cherished by her family.
Her Second Brother said her eldest brother’s decision to enter politics was also related to her.
He wanted to become someone with more power so that no matter what happened in the future, he would be able to protect her.
In the Gu Family, Gu Junzhu also pampered her.
Like today, encountering someone like Bai Xiaodie, if she wasn’t living well in the Gu Family or if their family’s power was not as strong as the Xie Family’s, she would have had to swallow her pride and keep quiet even if she was bullied.
But because Gu Junzhu loved her and was willing to indulge and support her no matter what happened, and the Xie Family’s power was inferior to the Gu Family’s, she was able to fiercely push back against Bai Xiaodie whom she disliked.
Thinking about it this way, she’s truly fortunate!
The little displeasure from encountering Bai Xiaodie vanished, leaving nothing behind.
Gu Junzhu saw her happy, ruffled her hair, “You!”
Ye Xingbei looked at him joyfully, “Did you enjoy watching me push back at people?”
Gu Junzhu chuckled and nodded, “Yes, absolutely enjoyable.”
“Isn’t it?” Ye Xingbei beamed, “I thought it was exhilarating too! Especially against those who don’t understand the situation, yet act like a fox exploiting a tiger’s might, with poor character and even worse combat skills!”
Ye Xingbei snorted with laughter, “That fool thinks that just by clinging to my grandmother, they can do whatever they want, even trying to use my grandmother to pressure me. Just my grandmother’s temperament…”
Ye Xingbei found it inappropriate to comment on elders, so she just clicked her tongue.
Everything went unsaid.
Gu Junzhu understood it all.
The temperament of Senior Madame Xie couldn’t stand firm at all; her own son was kicked out of the house by Senior Master Xie, and she could still go about her days cheerfully. For a distant grandniece to try to ride her coattails and show off in the Xie Family, and even come to boss Ye Xingbei around, how foolish must they be, you can only imagine.
“However, I still need to let my Second Brother know,” Ye Xingbei took out her phone and sent a video call invitation to Xie Jinfei, “I need to ask my Second Brother how Bai Xiaodie ended up looking at wedding dresses.”
Gu Junzhu leaned lazily beside her, watching her fuss around.
The video invitation was accepted, and Xie Jinfei looked at the screen, his eyes full of heart-shaped admiration, “Sister!”
Gu Junzhu watched from the side with disdain.
This guy acts like he’s never had a sister in several lifetimes, turning into a doting big dog as soon as he sees Ye Xingbei, sucking up like no other.
It’s so amusingly annoying!
Ye Xingbei, however, felt happy, but thinking about Bai Xiaodie dampened her spirit a bit, “Second Brother, let me tell you, I just saw that annoying grandniece from grandma’s side you mentioned, and she really is annoying!”
