Chapter 671: Brother, You Blame Me Too, Right?
Ye Qingzi discovered the trending topic amidst the barrage of news from her contacts in the capital. Enraged, she was convinced that Gu Jin and the Gu family were intentionally targeting her. Without hesitation, she spent a significant sum to suppress the trending topic.
Unbeknownst to her, numerous other parties were also working to remove the topic.
As Ye Qingzi contemplated how to retaliate against the Gu sisters and vent her frustration, she received a call from her brother, Ye Hanchen.
On the other end of the line, Ye Han’s voice was cold and authoritative. “Ye Qingzi, book a plane ticket back to the capital immediately.”
“Why?” Ye Qingzi frowned, clearly reluctant. “Brother, I can explain what happened online. It’s all because of those two from the Gu family…”
Ye Hanchen interrupted, “Lin Ran has already briefed me on the situation. Why did you feel the need to cause a scene at someone else’s birthday party? Do you not realize the embarrassment this brings to the Ye family?”
Ye Qingzi expressed her dissatisfaction. “Brother! It’s just the Gu family. I attended their banquet to show them respect.”
Ye Hanchen didn’t want to argue. He reiterated firmly, “Return to the capital immediately.”
Ye Qingzi paused for a moment, her tone turning sorrowful. “It was Xiao Yize’s idea, wasn’t it? Does he truly not want to see me?”
Heaving a sigh, Ye Han softened his tone slightly. “Ye Qingzi, I’ve told you before. Stay away from him. Unless Auntie Xiao wakes up one day, he won’t have any affection for you.”
Tears welled up in Ye Qingzi’s eyes, her voice choked with emotion. “Brother, you blame me too, don’t you?”
Ye Hanchen’s response was direct. “Yes.”
Ye Qingzi choked back a sob.
Ye Qingzi was so furious that she nearly hung up on Ye Hanchen, but reluctantly pleaded, “Brother, please tell Xiao Yize that my teacher’s team and I have a 60% chance of waking Auntie Xiao up.”
“That Gu Jin is just a country bumpkin, probably learned her medical skills from a quack. How could she possibly wake Auntie Xiao?”
Despite her frustration, Ye Qingzi believed that a 60% chance was promising, considering previous assessments by medical teams and experts, which had only given a 50% chance.
On the other end, Ye Hanchen replied, “You can sort this out between yourselves. I won’t be your messenger. Be back home by eight tomorrow night, or your card will be frozen.”
Ye Qingzi frowned. “But, Xiao Yize blocked me…”
Before she could finish, the line went dead.
Ye Qingzi was seething, tempted to hurl her phone across the room.
It was late March in Jin City, and spring had arrived with a burst of color. It seemed like the perfect time for a getaway.
Gu Yang and Feng Jue spent half a day out enjoying themselves. Upon returning home, they set about organizing the gifts they received at the birthday banquet.
The nanny had neatly stacked the gift boxes in the room, accompanied by a meticulously arranged gift list. Gu Yang simply had to gleefully unwrap the gifts and tidy them up.
The gifts varied in size, but most were jewelry, perfumes, handbags, cosmetics, dolls, and other items typically favored by girls.
Gu Yang couldn’t help but chuckle at the collision of many identical gifts. It seemed Fu Mingxiu faced the same predicament. After all, numerous guests likely prepared similar gifts for both sisters.
It took Feng Jue over half an hour to help her sort through them.
The gifts from the ‘No.1 Middle School Group’ were more personalized. While not extravagant, they catered to Gu Yang’s daily preferences.
In addition to the gifts, there were heartfelt birthday cards and warm wishes.
Gu Yang carefully read each one before stowing them away—a testament to the love and friendship shared with her friends.
The gifts from her family weren’t included in this batch.
Gu Yang and Gu Jin had exchanged gifts earlier that morning.
Gu Yang had concocted a custom perfume for Gu Jin, while Gu Jin gifted her Mother Tree Da Hong Pao tea leaves along with a tea set.
