Chapter 2654: Chapter 2658: You’re Truly Hopeless

"I can see that," Fifth Lord of Gu agreed: "You planted a cash cow yourself, and just a few days after it was planted, someone dug it up. Anyone else would be seething with rage, furious enough to blow their top. But not you, acting like everything’s fine. You’re like the naive bride of a wealthy landowner!"

"Get lost!" Ye Xingbei pushed him: "What naive bride of a landowner? That’s so awful! Isn’t this your doing? You coax me and take me out to relax. If I’m still not happy, wouldn’t that waste your efforts?"

"Besides, with subordinates like Lou Ning who have weak resolve, are indecisive, and ungrateful, I don’t care. If they want to leave, let them!"

"Also, didn’t you say you’ll find better ones for me in the future? What’s the matter, are you going back on your word?"

Gu Junzhu grabbed her hand and helped her stand up, "Be careful."

Ye Xingbei, wearing ice skates, grabbed onto Gu Junzhu’s wrists, and once she was stable, felt a sensation.

Very novel.

"It’s fine," Ye Xingbei clung onto Gu Junzhu’s arm and took a couple of steps: "This is fun."

"Come on, let’s go for a lap inside!" Gu Junzhu supported her as they entered the ice rink: "I keep my word. The entertainment industry’s pie is only so big, resources are limited. Jee Group poaching Lou Ning is just them trying to get a piece of your pie. I’ll find you some better ones so you can specifically compete with Jee Group for resources. They’ll be spitting blood later on."

"I know," Ye Xingbei, afraid to skate, cautiously clung to Gu Junzhu’s arm, feeling her way forward: "Our Fifth Lord of Gu isn’t one to be taken advantage of so easily. Jee Group must not know you well; if they did, they’d stay far away and never dare to poach your people."

"But, thinking about it, I should thank Jee Group for taking Lou Ning away. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known what kind of person Lou Ning was. I would have continued putting all my efforts into nurturing him."

"Now, Lou Ning is just an overnight sensation in the entertainment industry. Imagine if I had spent ten or eight years nurturing him to become a superstar, only for him to suddenly jump ship. Wouldn’t I be even more upset?"

"Besides, whenever I think about how, if I didn’t know his true nature, I would have devoted all my energy to nurturing someone like him, I feel sick."

"So, I have to thank Jee Group for letting me see what kind of person Lou Ning really is early on so I could cut my losses... Of course, I’ll only thank them verbally. As for the compensation, they better not think they can get away without paying a single penny!"

Gu Junzhu laughed and said: "Ye Xiaobei, I really appreciate your attitude towards life, such a noble demeanor, you truly are my wife!"

Ye Xingbei clicked her tongue: "You praise me and manage to include yourself, you’re hopelessly narcissistic!"

Gu Junzhu chatted with Ye Xingbei casually while teaching her ice skating techniques.

As Xiao Shumiao’s smart mom, Ye Xingbei was quick to learn. With Gu Junzhu’s guidance, she managed a few laps before she could speed skate on her own in the rink.

After a few laps, she became more skilled and faster, spinning around and around in the skating rink with a sensation akin to flying.

After half an hour of skating, she could perform some simple tricks under Gu Junzhu’s guidance. ℯ

Xiao Shumiao stood not far away from her, clapping enthusiastically and cheering her on.
