Gu Meifeng felt a little embarra.s.sed after being reprimanded.

But in order to take revenge, she forced a wronged look on her face and said in a coquettish tone like a little girl. “Brother Enlong, I was angry after I saw that the trap had failed and that little b*tch actually escaped unscathed… Xue Xue didn't even get revenge!”

“You still have the time to think about revenge now?” Gu Enlong spat. “Hurry up and save your life!”

“Save… my life?”

“Anyway, hurry up and bring that sickly brat to find Old Master Gu. You have to stay by Old Master Gu's side closely! Otherwise, if someone attacks you, I won't be able to help you either!” Gu Enlong said shrewdly.

“This… It's that serious?” Gu Meifeng's heart skipped a beat.

She started to feel uneasy.

Gu Enlong was the most outstanding person in the Gu family now.

He dared to make friends with all kinds of people in the underworld. He even lived like a fish in water in the Imperial Capital.

But now, even an old and experienced person like Gu Enlong was so cautious when facing Gu Qiqi…

Gu Meifeng frowned more and more tightly. What kind of awesome man had that bookworm hooked up with?

Could it be that it was really as Gu Enlong said, that he wasn't an ordinary person?

“Enough! You didn't listen to me wrongly. Stay by my side obediently. When I'm done with the meeting, I'll dote on you well tonight and help you calm down!” Gu Enlong started teasing her recklessly over the phone.

Gu Meifeng said, “You're so hateful. Keep your voice down. The child is still listening by the side.”

“Child? Xue Xue isn't young anymore. I hugged her the last time we met. Tsk, she doesn't look like a child.” Gu Enlong said meaningfully.

Gu Meifeng spat and lowered her voice. “Don't have any thoughts on Xuexue! Isn't it enough to have me? I'll give it to you tonight…”

Indeed, on the other end of the call, Gu Enlong laughed sinisterly in satisfaction. “I like playing with you. Can't find what you have anywhere else…”

Logically speaking, Gu Meifeng was already an old woman.

But the men around her were all reluctant to part with her.

No one knew that all of this was because she had something that no one else had…

After hanging up the call.

Gu Xuexue threw a princess tantrum on the hospital bed. “Mommy, are we going to hide by Grandpa's side with our tails between our legs? I don't want to!”

“Be good. Let me plan again! I definitely won't let you hide forever. Let me think…”

Gu Meifeng pinched her arm and tried her best to wake herself up.

So what if a bookworm had a backing?

It would be solved if she found a bigger backer for Gu Xuexue.

In the Imperial Capital, no one knew what had happened in Ward 13 of Qing Cheng Mental Hospital. As long as Xuexue recovered from her injuries, she would still be that innocent Xuexue!

“Mommy, what have you thought of? Tell me quickly. Otherwise, I don't want to live anymore…”

Gu Meifeng couldn't win against her daughter's tantrum and could only say, “Remember, you'll marry into the Mu family very soon! How can a proper marriage be the same as a nerd who's being taken care of? She'll never be able to compare to you! Don't worry!”

The Mu family…

Brother Liuchuan?

Gu Xuexue was delighted.

But then, she felt a little disappointed.

It was true that she liked Mu Liuchuan a lot, but ever since she met Gong Jue—who was by Gu Qiqi's side—her soul was seduced by him.

She really wanted to conquer such a strong, domineering, and cold-blooded man. She really wanted to have him.

Although Mu Liuchuan was good, he always lacked that domineering and cold masculinity compared to Gong Jue.

But she didn't know how Gong Jue's family background was like compared to Brother Liuchuan's.
