Chapter 309: So D*mn Conceited!

Chapter 309: So D*mn Conceited!

Gu Xiqiao didn’t know why the system would suddenly be triggered by this person, but when she reached the Wei family residence and felt the malicious aura looming over Wei Chenyan’s body, her thoughts fell silent.

“Brother, are you crazy? Getting a girl that’s about my own age to protect me? Forget about something happening to me, if something really happens to me, I can’t tell who will be protecting who!” The red-head Wei Chenyan looked at Wei Chenxi with an incredulous expression on his face. “Brother, I won’t go racing again, so can you not just pick some random person to keep an eye on me?”

Wei Chenxi’s face stiffened when he heard his words, and his voice cold as he said, “Quiet! This is an expert that Mr. Yan has introduced. You will bring her with you no matter where you go from today onwards!”

Although Wei Chenxi had been shocked when he had first set eyes on Gu Xiqiao, he trusted Mr. Yan, as his judgments have yet to steer him wrong.

“I apologize, Miss Gu.” After Wei Chenxi had given his lecture, he nodded to Gu Xiqiao apologetically.

Gu Xiqiao turned her eyes away from the lucky bamboo that was about to wither, her expression indifferent. “It’s fine.”

Wei Chenxi left after his words with Wei Chenyan, there were many things that had happened in Mingzhou that required his attention, so he couldn’t stay away for long.

After he left, Wei Chenyan looked at Gu Xiqiao, studying her from head to toe. He sneered as he crossed his arms, a mocking look in his eyes as he said, “You actually managed to talk my brother into watching me, you must be good at something then. So tell me, what’s your purpose coming to the Wei family? Is it money? Or someone?”

As he said that, he pulled out a card and handed it to Gu Xiqiao, but the latter didn’t even bother raising her head.

The four people around them saw Wei Chenyan acting like this, but none of them dared to say a word.

There was no one in Mingzhou who didn’t know that the younger master of the Wei family was the hedonistic son of the family, spending money like dirt, but no one dared to offend him.

Gu Xiqiao had her head lowered, her attention on the game she was playing on her phone. She completely ignored him.

Her attitude served to make Wei Chenyan feel even more unhappy. From birth to present, no one had treated him like this before. His face hardened as he opened his mouth to say something, when a servant appeared and reported from the outside, “Second Young Master, Miss Huangfu has arrived.”

Wei Chenyan’s face lit up at the news, and he brushed thoughts of Gu Xiqiao to the side. “Where is she?”

“She’s giving Mr. Yan treatment right now.” The servant replied respectfully.

Once the words were said, Wei Chenyan shot off, disappearing instantly.

Huangfu Xuan was giving Mr. Yan treatment, so Wei Chenyan waited patiently outside, though he was usually impatient. While he was waiting, he caught sight of Gu Xiqiao who was leaning against the wall not far from where he was standing. She was in a position where he was in her line of sight.

“You’re such an eyesore, and I can’t shake you off!” Wei Chenyan huffed, scratching his head. He took out a box of cigarettes, intending to light it, but thought better of it in the end. He was eighteen this year, and was clearly in his rebellious phase.

Just last week, he had been admitted to the hospital after going for drag racing. This week, his brother had gotten a bodyguard for him. What sort of bodyguard was this? It was clearly just someone sent to keep an eye on his actions!

Wei Chenyan was clear in the matters of his own heart, so he knew that he was extremely disgusted with the concept of bodyguards, especially this one. She didn’t even give him any face as she hadn’t even looked at him from the moment he had entered the door!

What kind of sh*tty bodyguard was this, she was even more conceited than a young master like him!

“Chenyan, how can you treat a girl like that?” Huangfu Xuan saw Wei Chenyan’s attitude towards Gu Xiqiao when she came out. “Miss, I’m sorry. Chenyan doesn’t mean it.”

The Wei family’s butler followed out behind Huangfu Xuan with a respectful look on his face, holding her medicine box in his hands.

Huangfu Xuan wore a red coat today, which accentuated her gorgeous features, and her eyebrows were also carefully trimmed. Wei Chenyan’s arrogant aura faded away instantly, his tone gentle and obedient as he greeted her, “Sister Huangfu.”

He saw that Gu Xiqiao had not replied to anything the other girl had said, and he couldn’t help but say angrily, “Didn’t you hear Sister Huangfu talking to you?!”

Huangfu Xuan glanced at Gu Xiqiao, seeing that the clothes she wore seemed slightly familiar. However, it wasn’t from any famous brands, so she didn’t bother too much. The girl was just a regular person, from what she could tell.

“Chenyan, don’t talk to girls like that in the future.” Huangfu Xuan repeated to him.

Although Wei Chenyan was reluctant, he nodded. “I won’t do it in the future.”

Butler Wei smiled and said, “Second Young Master really listens to Miss Huangfu’s words.” A prince of Mingzhou, a brat who wouldn’t even listen to the words of his own grandfather, but only those of Huangfu Xuan, this was also one of the reasons why the Wei family treated Huangfu Xuan so courteously.

Huangfu Xuan nodded her head, then started to walk to leave.

Just as she turned, a clear voice came from behind her. “Miss Gu.”

Who didn’t recognize the owner of this voice? She glanced back, looking at the person coming out from the door she had just exited. The person’s face was fair as snow, and there was a tranquil smile on his lips. His expression was peaceful, and even the sun couldn’t compare to the shine on his face.

He rarely showed this kind of bright expression, and Huangfu Xuan had not seen such an expression on his face over the years that she had known him. His personality shone through with this expression he was showing, and it looked like he was in an extremely good mood.

Only, who was this ‘Miss Gu’? It was a name that she had never heard before, and she felt her heart skip a beat as she let her gaze fall on the girl who still had her head bent down.

She was not the only one with those thoughts, even Butler Wei looked surprised as he glanced towards Gu Xiqiao.

Wei Chenyan was looking at Gu Xiqiao carefully, a cautious look in his eyes, probably wondering what sort of person she really was, to garner such a reaction from the man.

Gu Xiqiao finally raised her head, revealing a jade-like face with a hardened expression. The cold glint that reflected off her eyes made them feel like the sunlight was suddenly too dazzling, and her features looked like a piece of art. Her eyes were coal-black and shockingly clear, making their hearts beat faster when they looked into it.

The first time Wei Chenyan saw her face properly, he didn’t have words to describe it. Huangfu Xuan had turned heads wherever she went with her own appearance, but now she just looked plain standing next to Gu Xiqiao.

Cheng Zhou, who was used to seeing all kinds of beautiful faces in the entertainment industry couldn’t even find a more gorgeous face than Gu Xiqiao, what more of the others that were outside this industry?

“Miss Gu!” Wei Xi jumped out from behind Zhuge Yan, skipping up to her. “I finally get to see you again, I’m so excited! Are you here to play with us?”

Wei Xi’s words snapped everyone out of their daze. Wei Chenyan and Huangfu Xuan looked at Wei Xi, who was looking at Gu Xiqiao with undisguised respect and administration in her eyes.

Even Butler Wei was taken aback at the reaction. Who was Mr. Yan, you ask? Why, he’s practically the gods of the Wei family in Mingzhou! The Wei family had flourished in the past few years because of Mr. Yan’s existence, so it was obvious they would treat him with extreme respect.

Wei Xi and Wei Xu, who were by Mr. Yan’s side the entire time, were also treated with respect, and their status in the Wei family was comparable to that of Wei Chenyan.

However, they had never seen any of the two to have such an attitude towards anyone else before. In their eyes, Mr. Yan was their only master who deserved such treatment, but here she was, showing the same treatment towards this mysterious girl.

Wei Chenyan turned his gaze on Gu Xiqiao once again, observing her beautiful appearance. He didn’t think that she was anything special, and she was about the same age as him anyway. Hm, that wasn’t right, this girl was more conceited than him.

“Mr. Zhuge.” Gu Xiqiao put her phone away, and touched her chin as she looked at him. “You haven’t taken your medicine.”

Zhuge Yan didn’t expect the first words from her would be this, and he couldn’t help but smile after being taken aback for a moment. He was used to how she could take him by surprise by now, and he really hadn’t taken his medicine yet, because he knew it was useless even if he did take it. On the contrary, it made him feel more suffering instead.

“I can’t hide anything from you, really.” Zhuge Yan gave her a faint smile, but then he couldn’t stop the cough that escaped his lips. His complexion looked far worse than how Gu Xiqiao had seen him yesterday.

Huangfu Xuan’s face changed when she heard it. “Mr. Yan, why haven’t you taken your medicine?”

Zhuge Yan only waved his hand dismissively towards her, then turned to Gu Xiqiao. “Could we talk inside?”

Gu Xiqiao nodded her head after thinking for a bit, and when she passed Wei Chenyan, she said, “Wait here for me.”

Wei Chenyan felt his heart skip a beat, but as soon as he raised his head, the figure in front of him had disappeared, leaving only the trace of goosebumps that he felt when she had passed him.

The two entered the room, and Wei Xi closed the door for them, and stood guard beside it. As she stood, she made a call to Wei Xu, excitedly telling him that she had met Miss Gu once again, and asking him to hurry back so that he might have a chance to meet her too.

“Wei Xi, you placed a complete stranger alone in the room with Mr. Yan, aren’t you afraid that something will happen?” Seeing that Wei Xi had stood outside, Huangfu Xuan really couldn’t stay silent anymore at the sight.

It’s a pity that Wei Xi didn’t feel the same way as Huangfu Xuan, as she had started playing games on her phone after the call to Wei Xu. She was even more relaxed than before. “With Miss Gu around, you don’t have to worry about Young Master’s safety at all.”

From a glance at her appearance and her words, it was obvious that Wei Xi trusted Gu Xiqiao a lot.

Huangfu Xuan forced a laugh out at that, and left the place. Zhuge, she silently muttered the name under her breath. This was the first time she had heard his surname, the Wei family had only called him ‘Mr. Yan’ for so many years after all.

Who was this girl that suddenly appeared? Huangfu Xuan’s eyes darkened, pulling out her phone to make a call.

***

In Zhuge Yan’s yard, the atmosphere was quiet and heavy.

“You want me to save Mingzhou?” Gu Xiqiao sat on the stool, looking at the chessboard that had been set up on the table, her fingers playing with a black piece.

Zhuge Yan didn’t reply to her words, but he stood up to give her a deep bow. “I’m sure Miss Gu you’re already aware of my origins. The Zhuge clan was taken in by the Wei family in Mingzhou. The Greedy Wolf star and the will of heaven have dimmed, and a calamity is approaching Mingzhou. I’ve already exhausted my divination, and I can no longer protect the Wei family.”

When he talked about how he had exhausted all means through his divination, Zhuge Yan’s voice was calm, without any hint of change to indicate what he was feeling at that moment.

“If you can’t protect Mingzhou from the coming calamity, what can I do?” Gu Xiqiao shook her head.

“Miss Gu, the boy beside you had a face that reads of a dead person, however, he is still alive and well. And also your own face, Miss Gu, I’m not sure if you have looked closely at your own face before, but you do not have a face of someone who will meet a good end. However, that is changing, and it seems like someone is changing your original fate,” Zhuge Yan explained. “There are only a few people in this world that our Zhuge clan cannot read, and those are mostly people with extraordinary abilities.”

Gu Xiqiao placed the chess piece that she was fiddling with down. “The matter that happened yesterday in Mingzhou was also something you divined, right?” Wanting to glimpse into the secrets of heaven required you to pay a price, and it wasn’t easy to just sneak a peek at it. It would bring great harm to your own body.

It was no wonder Huangfu Xuan came so early in the morning, but Zhuge Yan was already at the end of his battle.

Zhuge Yan nodded his head, coughing into his hands before he could do anything else.

“Don’t worry, good people will not die early.” Gu Xiqiao stood up, not replying to Zhuge Yan’s original question. She opened the door, and left.

Zhuge Yan had been startled at her parting words, good people will not die early? Was she saying he was a good person? He chuckled as he glanced at the chessboard. It was originally in a dead position, but it had been turned out of a deadlock by her move.

Zhuge Yan was stunned for a long time when he saw this, and though Wei Xi called out to him several times, it failed to snap him out of his daze.

***

The Mingzhou calamity, Gu Xiqiao took a deep breath after leaving the room. Sometimes, she still wondered if she really was a calamity, because wherever she went, misfortune was sure to follow.

Gu Xiqiao closed her eyes, sending out a huge surge of mental power, but not feeling the slightest hint of presence of Jiang Shuxuan. It was as though he had disappeared from the face of the earth, and she looked up towards the sky. ‘Brother Jiang, where are you?’

“Hey, who the heck are you?” Wei Chenyan had waited the entire time, finally seeing Gu Xiqiao come out. His expression was dark, and he looked frustrated. Sh*t, he couldn’t believe that he actually waited the entire d*mn time outside for her?!

Gu Xiqiao narrowed her eyes at him, a hint of chill creeping into her obsidian eyes. “Your father,” She replied cooly.

F*ck, f*ck, f*ck! Where did this thing come from, so conceited! So d*mn conceited!
