Chapter 484: Chapter 485: The one who is more pitiful is her!
Ye Xingbei: “…Shut up!”
Soon, Ye Xingbei didn’t have the energy to rant anymore.
Much later, when the vigorous man had taken her to the heavens, she mused dizzily that indeed, consolation was superfluous for this one.
For the Fifth Lord of Gu, there really wasn’t a bother that couldn’t be solved in bed.
Now, the Fifth Lord of Gu was full of energy again, while her waist was practically broken!
No matter how brooding the Fifth Lord of Gu acted in the future, she would not sympathize with him anymore.
Clearly, she was the more pitiful one!

The next day, after breakfast, it was customary for Ye Xingbei and Gu Junzhu to send Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue to school together.
Being sent to school by both her parents was one of Xiao Shumiao’s proudest and happiest moments.
Such a simple thing could make Xiao Shumiao so happy and excited, so Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei were naturally willing to indulge her.
After dropping Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue off at school, Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei parted at the school gate, each heading to their own offices.
After arriving at Star Palace, Ye Xingbei had been busy for over an hour when the internal line rang.
Secretary Xiao Tao reported that a Mr. Qiao, who claimed to be her nephew, was looking for her at the reception desk downstairs.
Her nephew, Mr. Qiao?
Qiao Zui?
Ye Xingbei’s mouth twitched, “Let him come in.”
After hanging up the phone, she was a bit flabbergasted.
Why was Qiao Zui looking for her?
She didn’t like dealing with Qiao Zui at all.
Because she didn’t like hearing Qiao Zui call her “Little Auntie!”
Soon, Xiao Tao brought Qiao Zui in, served him a cup of coffee, and left.
Qiao Zui sat down across from Ye Xingbei, looking around: “Little Auntie, your office is really nice, spacious, and elegantly minimalist. It’s comparable to my uncle’s office.”
“Really?” Ye Xingbei was again deflated by his “Little Auntie”, she forced a smile, “Xiao Qiao, you need something from me?”
“Yes, I need something,” Qiao Zui set his coffee cup on the table, pursed his lips, his expression somewhat serious: “Well… Little Auntie, has my Uncle told you about my sister’s situation?”
“Yes,” Ye Xingbei nodded, “He did.”
Qiao Zui coughed uncomfortably, “Little Auntie, actually, I came here today… to ask for your help.”
“To ask me for help?” Ye Xingbei was puzzled, “Regarding Qiao Yi?”
“Yes,” Frustration flickered in Qiao Zui’s face and eyes, “My sister is soft on the outside but tough on the inside. She’s very stubborn and cares a lot about face. When she decided to marry Zhang Heyuan, our whole family was against it. I even had a big fight with her, even saying that if she dared to marry Zhang Heyuan, I wouldn’t consider her my sister anymore. But she still got married.”
“After she married Zhang Heyuan, we stopped contacting each other, we haven’t seen each other or talked on the phone for more than three years.”
“Before coming to Jiang City, I was determined not to meddle in her affairs. If she wanted to die or live, it was her choice, whatever kind of life she had was her own choice, it had nothing to do with me.”
At this point, he gave a bitter laugh, “But when I learned that Zhang Heyuan has cheated her, and had a child with another woman as a surrogate mother, I was so angry that I wanted to kill Zhang Heyuan, and I was heartbroken for her.”
He sighed and looked at Ye Xingbei, “Little Auntie, I’ve accepted it now. She’s my sister, no matter how flawed she is, she cared for me, spoiled me, and grew up with me. If she were living well, happy, I could still ignore her forever. But seeing her like this, I can’t not care.”
“I understand!” Ye Xingbei nodded, “But, what can I do for you?”
