Gu Yaxi noticed that Gu Nanyu was standing together with Ling Xiuqi and whispering to each other after entering the mansion with Gu Ming'an.
Fu Beichen was nowhere to be seen.
She instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
Ling Xiuqi might have known Fu Beichen personally so Gu Nanyu was trying to benefit from that.
Or else, Gu Nanyu could never have any connection with the Fu family.
Gu Ming'an first brought Gu Yaxi to congratulate Old Master Ling and greet the elder members of the Ling family. Then, he took her to meet Ling Xiuqi.
Gu Ming'an had always intended to marry Gu Yaxi to Ling Xiuqi as they were around the same age.
Hence, he was trying his best to match Gu Yaxi with Ling Xiuqi.
Gu Ming'an was looking at Ling Xiuqi with a friendly smile on his face as they walked to him.
"Xiuqi, I'm catching up with my old pals over there. Please do take care of Yaxi for me."
Ling Xiuqi looked very reliable despite the fact that he was only 18 years old.
He was not only gentle and elegant but also humble and polite, giving off a comfortable impression like a spring breeze in March.
He replied to Gu Ming'an smilingly, "No worries, Uncle, will do."
After Gu Ming'an left, a sweet smile flashed through Gu Yaxi's face. The eyes laid on Ling Xiuqi were gentle as if water was flowing in them.
"Brother Xiuqi, this is my first time here in your mansion. Can you walk me around your house?"
Gu Nanyu almost puked when she heard Gu Yaxi's coquettish tone and her dramatic expression.
"Sorry, I will ask Ling Wu to take you around. I need to talk to some friends."
Gu Yaxi threw a glance at Gu Nanyu who was lying on the couch. She was lounging there with her arms placed behind the couch while radiating an apathetic yet elegant aura. Her presence was hard to ignore.
Gu Yaxi's gaze darkened as she looked daggers at her.
It's this gay again!
Others might not know but Gu Yaxi was well aware that Gu Nanyu secretly kissed Ling Xiuqi when everyone was drunk during the last New Year gathering!
Gu Yaxi was bothered by this matter for a long time as she felt like someone had coveted her possession.
Gu Yaxi plastered a smile on her face although her mind was filled with curses.
She would not leave as she could not allow Gu Nanyu to have an opportunity to get close to Ling Xiuqi!
"I shall not trouble Ling Wu, I will stay here. My cousin brother is here too, he can take care of me."
Gu Yaxi took a seat beside Gu Nanyu as she spoke.
Gu Nanyu lifted a brow and did not entertain her.
The people gathering there were mostly young adults who were almost the same age as Ling Xiuqi.
They were occupied with the classic truth or dare and poker cards. Gu Nanyu sat at the side and watched them but did not participate.
Ling Xiuqi's sister, Ling Wu was the pampered little princess in the Ling family. She approached them and requested to join the game.
"Count me in, count me in…"
Ling Wu ran over with a smile. However, when she was approaching the desk, she tripped over an extended leg as she could stabilize herself.
As she fell forward, she bumped her forehead at the corner of the desk right in front of her hard before anyone could react.
Ling Wu yelped in pain as a huge wound was formed on her forehead with warm fresh blood trickling down her nose bridge.
Everyone was stunned at that moment.
Ling Wu's sight was blurred by the blood and her face turned pale in shock. Then, she cried out loud.
Enraged, Gu Yaxi stood up and glared at Gu Nanyu with a sense of outrage as if the presence of Gu Nanyu was an embarrassment.
"Cousin, how could you? You should not be jealous of how well Brother Xiuqi treats his own sister even though you like him! How could you simply stretch out your leg to trip her like that? Look at how severe the wound is, she will definitely have a scar from that!"
Gu Nanyu's face turned dark, "What nonsense are you saying?"
"It's not nonsense. I saw you kissing Brother Xiuqi when everyone was drunk in the gathering last New Year with my own eyes. However, I did not expect you to hurt Little Wu in this way!" Gu Yaxi clenched her fists in anger.
All the people at the scene were shocked.
What the h*ll have we heard?
That's breaking news!
Gu Nanyu likes Ling Xiuqi?
D*mn, we are dying to know how petrified Ling Xiuqi is at the moment!
I see you as a friend, yet you are trying to sleep with me?
