Chapter 1069: Chapter 1073: Hmm, I believe you Chapter 1069: Chapter 1073: Hmm, I believe you Ye Xingbei immediately asked anxiously, “What happened to them?”

She hoped those two scumbags had fates worse than death!

“The woman and her sugar daddy were sentenced to life imprisonment for premeditated murder and then died in prison in the most tragic way. Their son was taken in by the orphanage,” Gu Junzhu said, “The doctor who helped deceive honest people was fired from the hospital shortly after and was involved in a car accident, resulting in the amputation of both his legs. With her deeds exposed, her family was scorned by everyone. Her son got dumped by his girlfriend of three years, and unable to bear the blow, he settled abroad. With no one to take care of her, she had to enter a welfare institution.”

Ye Xingbei sighed, “Even though justice was served in the end, it’s still so unfortunate for the honest people and the man’s wife and daughter.”

She pressed her hand to her heart, feeling the heaviness and lingering resentment.

Gu Junzhu embraced her, gently patting her back, “That’s why it’s better to be capable. Standing higher, owning more, you can protect your family.”

He touched Ye Xingbei’s abdomen, and his previously icy gaze softened as he told the story, “In the future, if we have children, I will take good care of them. I won’t let any scum or lowlife near them. Even if they do get deceived, I can protect them.”

Ye Xingbei couldn’t help but laugh, “We haven’t even started, and you’re thinking so far ahead?”

“It’s only a matter of time,” Gu Junzhu said, leaning in to kiss her. “I’ll definitely not let my children be deceived or bullied by anyone.”

Ye Xingbei nodded with a smile, “Yeah, I believe you.”

The children of Fifth Lord of Gu, raised by Fifth Lord of Gu, will surely be tough. It’s more likely they’ll deceive others than be deceived, right?

“So…” Ye Xingbei glanced at Xie Motong, who was still sitting at the noodle stand, eating and drinking with the man, and frowned, “You suspect that Xie Motong is pregnant and afraid that Li Qi will learn she’s carrying his child. She fears Li Qi will force her to have an abortion, so she found a man to cover for her, pretending the child is his.”

Gu Junzhu wouldn’t have told her such a story for no reason.

Considering the situation before her and the story she had just heard, Ye Xingbei could only come to this conclusion.

Gu Junzhu nodded, “That’s right, that’s my guess. As for whether it’s true or not…”

He took out his phone, took a photo of Xie Motong and the man, and sent it to Gu Qi, “We’ll know once we check.”

Ye Xingbei said, “Your guess seems quite plausible, almost certain!”

There must be something odd when things are out of the ordinary!

Xie Motong, who was usually aloof, had unexpectedly started mingling with an ordinary person, tipping her hand with tenderness and care. If not for the reason Gu Junzhu mentioned, she couldn’t find another explanation.

She didn’t believe for a second that Xie Motong had suddenly come to her senses, deciding it was nice to live as an ordinary person, marrying an average man and leading a normal life.

If Xie Motong truly had that realization, she wouldn’t have chosen to stay by Li Qi’s side, preferring to kneel and be a dog rather than leave.

Gu Junzhu gave another glance at Xie Motong and the man, then put his arm around Ye Xingbei’s shoulder, “Let’s go, Xiao Shumiao and Xiao Yue have already run off.”

With Duan Yanbing, Feng Yi, Xueno, and Yu Nuo, four people following, the two were not worried at all and strolled leisurely down the street.
