CHAPTER 437: CHAPTER 437 WHAT A DESPICABLE PERSON

He Sirui felt panicked upon hearing Gu Yikun’s questioning.

The room was dark, and he knew it wasn’t An Junxi just by touching her face.

Was he really that familiar with An Junxi?

He Sirui felt uncertain. She turned over and pretended to mumble drunkenly, "So dizzy... don’t make noise."

She had drunk too much and wanted to rest in the guest room. What big mistake was it to enter the wrong room in her cloudy state of mind? At worst, she would just apologize to him.

She was a guest invited by the Gu Family to the party. If the servants had properly taken her to the guest room to rest after she got drunk, she wouldn’t have entered the wrong room.

No matter how you looked at it, he had no reason to blame her.

Tonight there were many guests, and it was also the birthday banquet of the little heiress. Yikun wouldn’t want to cause a scene.

He probably wouldn’t blame her. If things went well, he might even be attracted to her sexiness.

He Sirui thought, after tonight, she would have leverage to compete with An Junxi.

Gu Yikun turned on the light, and the woman on the bed was scantily dressed. Her underwear was tossed aside, the dress strap slipping down her shoulder, revealing a seductive, captivating sight.

The position she was in was exclusive to his wife.

A storm gathered in Gu Yikun’s eyes as he remained silent, the tension in the room thickening.

He Sirui felt nervous and scared, but she maintained her composure, raising her hand to shield herself from the light, saying, "Who turned on the light? I’m so dizzy."

Gu Yikun’s lips curled into a cold smile. "He Sirui, is this a place you belong to?"

Tonight, Xiao Luo’s main task was to keep an eye on Ai Xi. She was busy flitting in and out of the hall, while An Junxi angrily scolded Tao Manqiu by the pool before collecting herself to return to the hall.

Tao Manqiu really thought she had any say in the matters of the Gu Family.

Xiao Luo saw the Young Madam come in from the door. She froze, glancing back upstairs. If the Young Madam was here, then who was in their master bedroom sleeping?

Uncle Wei was dressed in a tailcoat tonight. Despite his age, he still appeared elegant and gentle.

He passed by Xiao Luo and said, "What are you dawdling for? Take the little miss to change her dress. It’s nearly time to cut the cake."

An Junxi intended to check if her aunt and father had finished their discussion in the tea room. Xiao Luo, unbothered by Uncle Wei’s questioning, ran to An Junxi’s side. "Young Madam."

An Junxi stopped. "What’s the matter? Is Ai Xi looking for me?"

"No, it’s... Mrs. He just said you were drunk and went to rest in your room. She asked me to inform the Young Master to go check on you. He’s been up there for a while now."

An Junxi’s heart tightened, her first thought being He Sirui was upstairs.

She headed upstairs, Xiao Luo too scared to follow. Oh no, oh no, has the Young Master been seduced?

Xiao Luo was uncertain. If the Young Madam and the Young Master got into a fight, wouldn’t it be the servants who’d bear the brunt of it?

She went to find Sister He, who was occupied in the kitchen with the guests’ food. Xiao Luo called Sister He out, and she came out while wiping her wet hands. "Quickly, what is it?"

With people bustling around, Xiao Luo pulled Sister He to a corner, whispering a few words into her ear.

Sister He’s face changed. "Shameless! On such an important day, she dares to do these disgraceful things! Watch how I deal with her!"

She had long suspected He Sirui was trouble. If she hadn’t been so busy tonight, she wouldn’t have given her this chance!

She poked Xiao Luo’s forehead twice. "How can you be so brainless? That old woman from the He Family told you to call the Young Master, and you just did it without checking if the Young Madam was upstairs!"

Xiao Luo said aggrievedly, "Tonight’s so busy, I didn’t expect this to happen."

Sister He said, "Never mind, at least you thought to notify me now. You’re not completely useless."

She took off her apron. "Go tell Sister Li to serve the fruit platters to the guests in the side hall. I’ll go upstairs and take a look."

Xiao Luo breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay."

Hopefully, nothing happened between the Young Master and Miss He. Otherwise, the Gu Family would be in turmoil!

Jiang Liu saw An Junxi go upstairs and followed, secretly cursing Tao Manqiu for being useless. She had thought Tao Manqiu could handle An Junxi, but An Junxi had returned to the hall so quickly.

How could this be? An Junxi’s appearance would ruin everything.

As she stepped onto the third floor, Sister He caught up with her and pulled her back. "Mrs. He, did you take a wrong turn? Outsiders aren’t allowed on the third floor. Usually, only two or three people are allowed to clean up there, so please stop."

Jiang Liu’s eyebrows shot up. "Who are you calling an outsider?"

Sister He said, "Anyone who isn’t part of the Gu Family estate is termed an outsider."

Jiang Liu pointed at her. "A servant dares to scold me? Is this how the Gu Family treats guests? I’m only here out of respect for Liang Huiyun to look after the little heiress. Have you forgotten my status?"

If it had been Xiao Luo and the others, they would have been too scared to speak. But Sister He was different; she had seen all these situations while serving Madam Gu.

Sister He called two servants over. "Mrs. He is drunk and agitated. Take her to the guest room to rest. After the banquet, we’ll arrange a car to take her home."

Jiang Liu pushed them away. "Get lost! I’m not drunk!"

Sister He signaled with her eyes, and the two servants, understanding, covered Jiang Liu’s mouth and carried her to the guest room. Jiang Liu hadn’t expected the Gu Family’s servants to be so bold. As she was pushed into the room, she saw the servants trying to close the door. She pounded on the door and shouted, "This is illegal detention! I’m going to sue you and ruin the Gu Family’s reputation!"

Sister He, outside the door, said, "Mrs. He, calm down. Tonight, Chairman He will stay to discuss business with the Young Master. If you don’t want to see bad news about He’s Jewelry on the financial news, I suggest you behave."

Jiang Liu was furious. Just wait until Gu Yikun falls for our Si Rui. Then you’ll all be kneeling before me to apologize!

He Sirui opened her eyes from her "sleep" and saw Gu Yikun’s face, full of coldness and no trace of attraction.

She looked around in terror and sat up, "Yikun, why am I here?"

She pretended to nervously pull her clothes tighter, but in reality, she was pulling her dress down a bit more, nearly exposing her upper body.

Gu Yikun stepped back in disgust. He Sirui stood up and walked toward him. "I drank too much, and the servant said there were guest rooms here... Did I go into the wrong room?"

She held her forehead, pretending to be dizzy and falling toward Gu Yikun.

The scent of her perfume entered his nostrils, making him sick.

Gu Yikun pushed her away, and He Sirui fell onto the bed. The fall caused her dress to slip down entirely, her perfect curves revealed.

Gu Yikun’s face turned dark. "He Sirui, I never expected you to be so cheap."

He Sirui pulled the quilt over herself. "Yikun, how can you say that? I accidentally went into the wrong room. Is that my fault?"

Gu Yikun was about to say something when the door handle clicked, and someone walked in.

You couldn’t see the door from here, but An Junxi’s voice came through. "Yikun, are you in here?"
