Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 2353: Chapter 2357: As Long as the Fifth Lord of Gu Is Happy!

"You were talking about taking in six apprentices, but if you take in more kids, do you think they’ll want that? Kids also have a strong sense of territory. For instance, many kids these days don’t want their parents to have a second child."

"Our Xiao Shu won’t," Gu Junzhu glanced at Ye Xingbei’s abdomen, "Isn’t our Xiao Shu always asking you to give him a little sister?"

Ye Xingbei thought for a moment and nodded, "That’s true, it was only after he met you that Xiao Shu was so pampered. When he was at the Ye Family, apart from Brother Li, no one spoiled him like this. He had already learned to endure and be accommodating."

Gu Junzhu frowned, "Ye Xiaobei, don’t say things like that to me in the future. Are you trying to hurt my feelings on purpose?"

Ye Xingbei tilted her head and looked at him, "How did I hurt your feelings?"

Gu Junzhu said, "That comment you made, it pains me."

Ye Xingbei was speechless, "I think Xiao Shu growing up in the Ye Family wasn’t bad at all. He wasn’t cold or hungry, and he grew up safely. Spoiling a child is akin to hurting a child. If he had grown up in the Gu Family, being spoiled by you and our father since he was small, you wouldn’t be upset, but you’d sure have headaches later!"

Gu Junzhu said, "My son comes from good roots; no amount of spoiling could spoil him!"

Ye Xingbei chuckled twice, too lazy to argue with him.

"Young Master," Gu Chi approached quickly, "Everything is ready."

"Alright," Gu Junzhu nodded, "Let’s move."

The group left the small town, heading towards Jinli Village, where Ye Xingbei lived as a child.

A Land Rover left ahead of them, rushing to Jinli Village to create a diversion, first getting Ye Xingbei’s uncle and aunt out of the way.

However, Fifth Lord of Gu said that shouldn’t be called a diversion strategy. It should be called "luring the mouse away," because calling them tigers would be flattering Ye Xingbei’s uncle and aunt.

At most, they’re just mice.

Ye Xingbei: "..."

As long as Fifth Lord of Gu is happy!

The roads in and out of Jinli Village haven’t been paved yet. Fortunately, they were driving the best off-road vehicles with high clearance, allowing them to wobble their way into the village.

By the time the group arrived in Jinli Village, Ye Xingbei’s uncle and aunt’s family had already been successfully lured away.

Ye Xingbei got out of the car and stood by the roadside, looking at the small mountain village before her, feeling a bit dazed.

Six years have passed, yet nothing here has changed; it still looks exactly as she remembers.

Six years isn’t actually a long time, but she’s transformed completely, living a completely different life.

Standing here six years later feels like a lifetime ago.

Gu Junzhu put his arm around her shoulder, "Beibei?"

"Hmm," Ye Xingbei looked at him and suddenly smiled brightly, "I suddenly remembered my Brother Lan’s kindness..."

She raised her hand and pointed at the small mountain village in front of them, "Look, I am just a little mountain girl who walked out of this shabby village. Without my Brother Lan’s strict teachings, how would there be the Ye Xingbei of today?"

"You’re kind-hearted to think like that," Gu Junzhu patted her shoulder, "There are many types of strictness. If Ye Xinglan truly cared for you, he should have been strict in teaching but extremely caring in everyday life. To put it plainly, at that time, he disliked you because he thought you were Jiang Zhengxing’s daughter and wanted to abuse you. Yet his status and upbringing didn’t allow him to vent his anger, so he was conflicted, teaching you while abusing you, convincing himself it was for your own good!"

"You can say whatever you want!" Ye Xingbei looked at the small mountain village before her, smiling.
