CHAPTER 411: CHAPTER 381: YAN ZHIYAO FOUND IT

"Gu Yicheng, what are you doing?"

A voice, extremely soft and cold.

Gu Yicheng seemed to be frozen, his whole body momentarily went still.

His grip loosened instinctively.

Ji Xiaoxiao felt his grip lessen, immediately broke free from his hand, and ran toward the direction of the voice.

Gu Yicheng also turned around to look behind him.

When he saw the person standing not far away, Gu Yicheng’s legs suddenly went weak, leaning against the car for support.

Gu Yanjing was wearing a black casual suit today, his eyes cold, tall and imposing, standing quietly, exuding an overwhelming pressure.

Clearly, the weather was nice today, and the sun was shining brightly.

But looking at Gu Yanjing standing there, Gu Yicheng felt as if the weather changed abruptly, dark clouds covered the sun, the whole world dimmed into darkness.

Ji Xiao ran toward Gu Yanjing in a panic, took a few steps closer, and finally saw who it was.

She instinctively stopped but then saw Qiao Yuxian and Qin Xia walking from behind him.

She quickly ran toward Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Yuxian and the others had seen Gu Yicheng pulling Ji Xiaoxiao from the car and got out immediately.

But Gu Yanjing, who was outside the car, was quicker than them.

Ji Xiaoxiao reached Qiao Yuxian’s side, Qiao Yuxian held her arm and said, "Are you okay?"

Ji Xiaoxiao was still in shock, fear evident in her eyes, tightly gripping Qiao Yuxian’s hand, "No, nothing."

Qin Xia waited for her to calm down, then patted her shoulder, "Come to the car with me, let them settle this."

Ji Xiaoxiao glanced back at Gu Yanjing and Gu Yicheng, then nodded to Qin Xia.

Qin Xia took her hand and led her back to the van.

Qiao Yuxian went to Gu Yanjing’s side.

Gu Yicheng leaned against the car, holding onto the door, kept looking at Gu Yanjing until Qiao Yuxian walked to Gu Yanjing’s side, then reacted slightly.

He gripped the car door, straightened up, "Bro, why are you here?"

"If I wasn’t here, what were you just going to do?" Gu Yanjing looked at him, his voice cold and deep.

Originally, Qiao Yuxian wanted to hit Gu Yicheng, but once Gu Yanjing spoke, that thought disappeared.

Gu Yanjing’s voice was more effective than ten punches from her.

Standing beside him, she felt a bit scared herself, not to mention Gu Yicheng, who was already terrified.

After a while, she felt she couldn’t take it either and quietly moved aside.

But she hadn’t moved half a meter when Gu Yanjing stretched out his hand and pulled her back.

Qiao Yuxian took a silent breath and stood silently next to him.

"I, I..." Gu Yicheng couldn’t speak.

Gu Yanjing gripped Qiao Yuxian’s hand, squeezing it slowly, "Saying you’ve changed while doing absurd things?"

"I, I didn’t want to." Gu Yicheng lowered his head, "I was just too emotional. I..."

"When are you not emotional?" Gu Yanjing interrupted him, "Do you love her, or are you using her as an outlet for your emotions?"

"I..." Gu Yicheng dropped his gaze, after a while, "I really love her."

"Which thing have you done that makes it seem like you love her?" Gu Yanjing asked.

Gu Yicheng couldn’t answer.

Gu Yanjing said, "Go kneel at the Gu Family’s ancestral hall. Think about what you’ve been doing lately."

Gu Yicheng said nothing.

Gu Yanjing glanced at him, then turned and left with Qiao Yuxian.

After a few steps, Gu Yicheng suddenly called out, "Bro, I don’t want a divorce."

Gu Yanjing stopped, "It’s not up to you."

Finished speaking, he walked away with Qiao Yuxian.

Gu Yicheng watched their backs, leaned against the car, lowered his head, and didn’t move for a long time.

Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian returned to the van.

Qiao Yuxian glanced at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing didn’t say anything and let her get in.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him again, but finally, without saying anything, got in the car.

Ji Xiaoxiao was quite scared.

Qin Xia poured her a glass of water.

Ji Xiaoxiao’s hand holding the cup was trembling the whole time.

After getting in, Qiao Yuxian looked at her, "Don’t worry. He won’t interfere with your work."

Ji Xiaoxiao nodded.

Qin Xia leaned back in her seat, "Gu Yicheng is very afraid of Gu Yanjing."

"Who isn’t afraid of him?" Qiao Yuxian replied.

"You’re not." Qin Xia and the still stuttering Ji Xiaoxiao said together.

Qiao Yuxian looked at them, thinking of Gu Yanjing’s terrifying demeanor just now, "If I were afraid of him, what next? If I were afraid, wouldn’t he be unstoppable?"

The van door was half-open, and Gu Yanjing outside heard Qiao Yuxian’s soft comment, his anger slightly eased.

Ji Xiaoxiao held the cup without speaking.

Qin Xia smiled secretly, but was noticed by Qiao Yuxian and nudged.

The three of them hadn’t been in the van long before Qin Xia’s assistant came to call her to work.

Ji Xiaoxiao went with Qin Xia.

Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing left together.

On the way back, Qiao Yuxian sat in the passenger seat eating fruit, while Gu Yanjing drove.

At a red light, Qiao Yuxian fed Gu Yanjing a grape, "Still angry?"

"No." Gu Yanjing replied.

"Then what are you going to do about Gu Yicheng?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"After all this is resolved, I’ll send him out for a few years of training." Gu Yanjing replied.

"Will it help?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"I don’t know." Gu Yanjing said, "If he improves, he can return, if not, he’s on his own outside."

"Are you willing?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

After all, it’s his brother, they grew up together.

Gu Yanjing always seemed cold, but deep down he’s very emotional.

If not, he wouldn’t have helped Gu Yicheng, knowing he was using him to handle matters.

"Aunt pampered him too much, that’s why he’s like this." Gu Yanjing said.

"But if he’s not in Capital City, people might say you can’t tolerate your own brother." Qiao Yuxian said.

"He’s not the only one I can’t tolerate." Gu Yanjing looked at Qiao Yuxian, then started the car.

"Uh..." Qiao Yuxian thought that made sense too.

For years, Gu Yanjing was known as someone ruthless towards family.

Being unable to tolerate Gu Yicheng now actually matched the rumors.

"About Ji Xiaoxiao..." Gu Yanjing said.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him.

Gu Yanjing glanced at her, conveying his meaning through his gaze.

Qiao Yuxian understood, but just looked at him, waiting for him to speak.

Seeing her continuously watching him, waiting for him to talk, after a while he said, "I’ll trouble you with Ji Xiaoxiao. It’s Gu Yicheng’s fault, any compensation or needs she has, we are obliged to meet."

Qiao Yuxian was satisfied, "Don’t be too polite. I’m the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu Family. Their affairs are mine, it’s right for me to handle it."

Gu Yanjing smiled slightly.

"Don’t worry. I can handle it all." Qiao Yuxian finished, quietly focused on eating fruit.

Halfway through the journey, Gu Yanjing’s phone rang.

The phone was in the armrest box.

Qiao Yuxian looked and saw it was Chu Zhengran calling.

She told Gu Yanjing, then answered and switched to speakerphone.

"Where are you?" Chu Zhengran asked as the call connected.

"I’ll be at Jingyu Garden in half an hour." Gu Yanjing said, "What’s up?"

"Yan Zhiyao has been found." Chu Zhengran said, "Huai Shu and I are at Jingyu Garden, we’ll talk when you get back."
