As heir to the Katie family, proficient in eight languages, how could Devon not speak Chinese?
Intent on continuing his tirade to release his pent-up frustration, Devon was silenced by Xiao Yize’s cold retort, “Please refrain from cursing. Otherwise, I’ll release Lin Ran and subject you to a barrage of the country’s choicest curses once more.”
Instantly, Devon fell silent as an unpleasant recollection involuntarily flashed through his mind.
During their encounter in Continent M, Devon’s anger had prompted him to curse. Lin Ran, in turn, had lashed out with a torrent of ancestral insults, mocking Devon’s limited vocabulary.
It was a harsh lesson learned: the older the civilization, the more colorful their lexicon of expletives.
Xiao Yize continued his admonition, “Devon Katie, be cautious not to overreach. Avoid meddling where you don’t belong.”
“Understood,” Devon conceded. He knew that with Xiao Yize’s intervention, his pursuit of Gu Yang was futile. Instead, he posed a query, “Xiao Yize, why haven’t my sister and I been hypnotized?”
Xiao Yize’s response was cryptic, “Because my sister is exceptional.”
Devon:
Xiao Yize clarified, “Or rather, you two are novices.”
“Remember to settle the fine.”
Given the influence of the Katie family, resorting to jail time seemed unrealistic; a little manipulation was still feasible.
With that, Xiao Yize abruptly terminated the call, depriving Devon of any opportunity to retort.
Enraged, Devon slammed his fist onto the table, venting his frustration in Chinese. “F*ck!”
Meanwhile, at the Gu Family’s Villa,
Gu Yang joyfully carried a stack of spices and essential oils back to her quarters. As she ascended the stairs, she encountered Feng Jue.
“Sister, allow me to assist you,” Feng Jue offered, carefully relieving Gu Yang of the burden. His gaze flickered upon spotting the family emblem on the bottles. “The spice essential oils from the Bass family are commendable.”
In the perfume room he’d procured for his sister, an array of spices and essential oils sourced from the Bass family adorned the shelves.
Gu Yang recounted her day at Qingya Residence to him.
Feng Jue’s smile dimmed slightly upon hearing of the involvement of the Katie family. “The Katie family.”
How dare they subject his sister to hypnosis? Their audacity knew no bounds.
Sensing the icy undercurrent emanating from Feng Jue, Gu Yang hastened to reassure him, “I’ve already dealt with him.”
Feng Jue regarded her intently.
Gu Yang pondered thoughtfully, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. “I reckon Tally won’t be eager to lay eyes on that ruby for quite some time. And as for Devon, if our paths cross soon, he might find himself addressing me as ‘Dad’.”
Witnessing Gu Yang’s radiant grin, Feng Jue’s own lips curved ever so slightly.
En route past Gu Jin’s room, Gu Yang inquired, “Speaking of which, is Sister home?”
Their elder sister typically spent weekends away from home and had departed early that morning.
Feng Jue replied, “No.”
At that moment, the door creaked open, revealing Gu Jin standing there, her expression frosty as she surveyed Feng Jue.
Feng Jue: …
Gu Yang: “Ah Jue?”
Feng Jue’s gaze assumed an air of innocence and bewilderment. Truth be told, he couldn’t fathom why anyone would be concerned about Gu Jin’s whereabouts. Naturally, his sole focus lay on his sister.
“By the way, Sister, Ruan Meng invited me out today and gifted me with ten bottles of fragrant essential oils. We’ve become friends,” Gu Yang added, oblivious to the tension in the room.
With a frigid glance at Feng Jue, Gu Jin ushered Gu Yang into her room. “Come in and take a seat.”
Feng Jue, trailing behind Gu Yang, silently rolled his eyes at Gu Jin. Refusing to release Gu Yang’s hand, he narrowed his eyes at his sister and sneered, “Do you really need to spell it out for me? Hasn’t Xiao Yize briefed you?”
Xiao Yize’s involvement in the matter meant that if he failed to capitalize on the opportunity to curry favor with Gu Jin, it would be a missed chance.
Curiosity flickered in Gu Yang’s gaze as she observed Gu Jin.
“No,” Gu Jin replied tersely, her expression unchanged.
Just then, Gu Jin’s phone buzzed in her pocket.
