Chapter 1027: Chapter 1031: Being Able to Scheme Against Others is Always Better Than Being Schemed Against Chapter 1027: Chapter 1031: Being Able to Scheme Against Others is Always Better Than Being Schemed Against Gu Junzhu nodded, “Yes, you’re right.”

Ye Xingbei laughed bitterly in frustration, “A girl in her twenties, as beautiful as a flower, willing to marry a man in his forties. I knew she was no good, but she has exceeded my expectations, she’s even worse than I imagined!”

Gu Junzhu smiled as he looked at Lingyue and Xiao Shumiao, “Xiao Yue and Xiao Shumiao have accomplished something tonight. Later, have your grand uncle reward you both generously. Make sure he pays dearly, give him a substantial cut.”

“Daddy,” Xiao Shumiao, looking at Gu Junzhu with puzzled blinking eyes, asked, “Auntie Haizi is pregnant too, isn’t she? Why do they say the baby can’t be kept? Isn’t everyone happy when there’s a baby? Just like cousin and his wife, they were so happy they seemed to float when they walked, almost laughing their eyes out.”

Gu Junzhu laughed heartily, rubbing his little head, “Because, the woman is pregnant not with her husband’s child, but someone else’s. She’s afraid her husband will find out, so while her husband still doesn’t know, she wants to abort the baby.”

Ye Xingbei was speechless and gave him a twist, “Is it really okay to discuss this with a five-year-old?”

“Of course,” Gu Junzhu said, “When I was young, my parents taught me this way. Regardless of whether I understood it or not, they told me the truth, letting me know the world isn’t just white, but also black, and colors that don’t distinguish between black and white. That way, when a child grows up, they won’t be overly naive.”

Ye Xingbei: “…Oh.”

Now she knew why her family’s Fifth Lord of Gu turned out to be a crafty and shrewd character.

It really runs in the family!

Xiao Shumiao looked at Gu Junzhu then at Ye Xingbei, his big eyes cloudy and somewhat puzzled.

Lingyue sat Xiao Shumiao next to him, pointing to the video of Jiao Tao and that man, patiently explained in detail Jiao Tao and Xie Wenhui’s relationship, Jiao Tao’s relationship with the man in the video, and then why Jiao Tao wanted to abort her baby, framing it on Xie Yunlin.

Xiao Shumiao kept making sounds of sudden realization, often nodding his little head.

Ye Xingbei listened to Lingyue’s clear analysis, which was similar to her thoughts; looking at Lingyue, she felt quite indescribable.

An eight-year-old kid.

When she was eight, she was still playing with mud, whilst here Lingyue was adeptly analyzing conspiracies.

Comparisons really could kill a person.

That saying was undeniably true.

Gu Junzhu lay lazily on the sofa, his face showing a very satisfied expression.

Ye Xingbei: “…”

Sigh.

She could foresee that, after a decade or so, Beijing would get two more deceitful characters following the Fifth Lord of Gu.

Fine then.

It’s better to scheme against others than be schemed against.

Being naive and sweet might be cute as a child, but it’s problematic when grown up.

Just let them be.

She looked at Gu Junzhu, “What do we do now?”

“First, give Xie Yunlin a call and check on the situation,” Gu Junzhu suggested, his fingertips gently sweeping over, “From their conversation, it seems Senior Master Xie wants to have a paternity test for Xie Wenhui and Jiao Tao’s baby. Jiao Tao, knowing the child is not Xie Wenhui’s and not having the capability to tamper with the test results, plans to have an abortion before the paternity test and then falsely blame the abortion on Xie Yunlin.”
