《Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly》


 Chapter 1 - 1 The man, as noble as an emperor

    Chapter 1: Chapter 1 The man, as noble as an emperorAccidentally wandering into the wrong room, she actually witnessed a live battle?


    Just as Xia Yinian climbed in through the window, her eyes, both black and bright, widened in shock.


    Staring fixatedly at the man and woman on the bed, she even forgot to run away.


    The man on the bed had a cold and determined face, with deep-set eagle eyes and unusually handsome looks, exuding an innate aura of a superior, regal like a king!


    His suit trousers had a half-unbuckled diamond-studded belt, his perfect eight-pack abs faintly visible, his physique so perfect it made international supermodels feel inadequate.


    As for the woman whose neck he was clutching, she was almost entirely transparent in her thin-sleeved nightgown hanging loosely on her, her face turning red due to lack of oxygen.


    Their movements paused slightly due to Xia Yinian''s sudden intrusion.


    The woman being choked managed to gasp out weakly, "Hel... help..."


    What?


    Thinking she had interrupted others and preparing to beat a hasty retreat, Xia Yinian abruptly turned back to look at the two.


    Help? Could it be, it''s not consensual?


    "Damn you, bastard!" Xia Yinian''s face darkened, her inherent sense of justice driving her to act without thinking. She wound up her fist and charged toward the bed.


    A loud bang, the door was suddenly smashed open and three men in black suits rushed in.


    Before Xia Yinian''s fist could even graze the hem of the man''s garment on the bed, she was completely subdued by the men who stormed in.


    "Seventh Young Master!" The last man walked briskly to the bedside, his face a picture of anxious fear. "Seventh Young Master, this girl climbed in through the window..."


    Before he could finish speaking, the man on the bed suddenly waved his hand and the woman beneath him let out a shriek as she was flung away, landing on the ground with a thud.


    "Seventh Young Master, I was wrong..." The woman who had just been shouting for help scrambled up, kneeling on the ground shivering.


    She cried pitifully, "Seventh Young Master, I was wrong, I shouldn''t have plotted against you, I won''t dare anymore! Seventh Young Master, please spare me! Please..."


    What? A plot?


    Xia Yinian was stunned, could it be this man was not a villain but a victim?


    Then what was her righteous anger in attempting to save someone for? It turns out this seductively dressed woman was the one attempting to set a trap!


    Damn, it seemed she had done something wrong, could she still escape in time now?


    Xia Yinian looked up, stealing a cautious glance at the man seated on the bed.


    His slightly disheveled fringe fell over his forehead, that stunningly handsome face covered with a noticeable layer of fine sweat, his appearance wild and fatally alluring!


    Xia Yinian couldn''t help but swallow saliva, so handsome, truly very handsome, but his gaze so terrifying, the kind that could scare you to death in a minute.


    "I... I thought..." The man''s cold and indifferent gaze swept over, Xia Yinian''s legs went soft, and she couldn''t even utter her explanation.


    "You thought I was the bad guy?" the man''s voice, deep and magnetic, was like a heavenly melody.


    Just listening to him speak was like an ear-pregnancy.


    But the chilling aura coming off his body, mixed with the heat induced by the medicine, was really frightening. S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The black-suited man standing aside glanced at the woman on the ground and said, "Seventh Young Master, this woman..."


    "Get rid of her." His tone was calm yet imbued with a thick murderous intent.


    Upon hearing this, the woman was so frightened she nearly passed out, "Seventh Young Master, I really was wrong! Please, I beg of you..."


    No one paid attention to her pleas for mercy as the black-suited man grabbed her arm and dragged her out.


    Xia Yinian felt a cold chill all over her body, raising her head to look at the man sitting on the bed, as if looking up at a regal emperor.


    When his icy gaze fell on her once again, the only thought in Xia Yinian''s mind was clear.


    She was definitely dead!

 Chapter 2 - 2 It’s Not Your Turn to Decide

    Chapter 2: Chapter 2 It''s Not Your Turn to DecideXia Yinian didn''t know when the other people in the room left; by the time she came to her senses from the shock, only she and that distinguished man were left in the room.


    No one was forcing her, it seemed... she could escape!


    The thought had barely flashed through her mind when Xia Yinian, without hesitation, turned around and dashed toward the French windows.


    The man by the bed was clearly an imposing figure, beyond her provocation, her only option was to flee!


    Her hand was just about to touch the French windows when suddenly, a wave of an overwhelmingly arrogant and bitingly cold aura hit her from behind.


    With a loud bang, right as Xia Yinian''s hand touched the French windows, she was pressed against the windows. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "No!" A spasm of fear clenched her heart, and she raised her hand, attempting to strike at the man''s chest.


    Suddenly her wrist tightened, still unable to touch even the hem of his garment, both her hands were firmly captured in his grasp.


    Gu Beicheng pinned her hands above her head with one hand, while his other large palm was braced against the French windows, looking down upon her startled little face from above.


    Standing together, Xia Yinian realized just how tall the man was!


    Standing in front of her, he was like a towering deity, at least a meter ninety tall by her estimation!


    His hawk-like cold eyes bore straight into her, the chillness so intense.


    Even if he did nothing but look at her with that icy cold gaze, Xia Yinian felt as if she were being torn apart.


    "I didn''t mean to, I just heard her cries for help, I..."


    "You barged in here on your own initiative." The man interrupted her impatiently, his voice low and hoarse, clearly still somewhat groggy.


    He looked down, the breath from his nose landing on Xia Yinian''s face, so hot it almost scorched her skin.


    With his approach, their bodies were pressed tightly together, and Xia Yinian was completely terrified by the icy yet burning aura emanating from him.


    It seemed he was indeed suffering! His temperature alarmingly high. Surely the consequence of the scheme hatched by that woman.


    But what did that have to do with her? She was merely passing by in order to avoid bad people!


    If not for her half-sister designing to trap her, Xia Yinian wouldn''t have climbed through the window to avoid those malicious men.


    She wouldn''t have poked her nose into others'' business and angered this terrifying man in front of her!


    "Just now, wasn''t that woman... willing?" Since she had plotted against him, she must have been willing to offer up everything to him.


    With her readily there, why wouldn''t he want her? What did he want from Xia Yinian? She knew nothing!


    Gu Beicheng''s eyes darkened, and the fingers gripping her wrist suddenly tightened: "Now, there''s only you!"


    That woman, he felt disgusted at the mere thought of touching her!


    But this girl in front of him, although impulsive, at least his body didn''t repel her.


    Besides, since when has Gu Beicheng been someone that women can scheme against? That woman had no standing to get close to him.


    At least, this girl in front of him was not so crass...


    Right now, his entire being felt like it was on the verge of exploding!


    No matter his willpower, under the overwhelming influence, he was losing control!


    As he gripped her wrist tightly, pain contorted Xia Yinian''s features, and even more terrifying was his words "only you."


    "But, but I don''t want you..."


    "It''s not your place to decide!"


    Gu Beicheng''s voice was not loud, but it left no room for doubt.


    Xia Yinian truly felt like she was going insane. Was she going to be killed?


    His aura was... terrifying...

 Chapter 3 - 3 Please, Give Me Three Minutes

    Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Please, Give Me Three Minutes"Hey! I''m just a bystander, stop messing around!"


    "I didn''t mean to climb in here on purpose; I was wrong, is admitting my mistake not enough?"


    Xia Yinian was scared out of her wits; the scream she wanted to let out was completely stuck in her throat due to the man''s sudden movement to lower his head.


    "Wait, wait a moment, I... I really was just passing by, no!"


    Damn it! She was begging for mercy, yet his biting got even heavier! It''s killing her!


    "Don''t do this, listen to me... Hmm!"


    "Shut up, how much do you want? I''ll give it to you!" Gu Beicheng''s eyes were bloodshot at this moment, his awareness nearly blurring.


    "No, I don''t... Ah!"


    Suddenly, Xia Yinian felt her body lighten, already being lifted sideways by him.


    The scenery before her eyes changed in an instant; she had no idea how he managed it, his speed was so fast! S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It seemed like in just the blink of an eye, by the time she opened her eyes again, she was thrown onto the bed.


    "No! Don''t do this! I''m not... not that kind of girl." She didn''t want his money, she wasn''t selling herself!


    "Don''t... don''t do this! You bastard!"


    "Then let the bastard show you!" After all, she was the one who broke in!


    Xia Yinian was close to despair, would her eighteen years of innocence really be taken away by this completely stranger man?


    Having lived for eighteen years, she had never even seen a man''s body, how could she evolve so drastically in one night?


    No, this absolutely cannot happen!


    Xia Yinian''s big eyes were watery and red, her eye sockets already moist, as if teardrops were about to roll down: "Please, I beg you."


    This pitiful appearance was truly heart-wrenching.


    Gu Beicheng had lived for twenty-seven years and had never known what the word "pity" meant.


    But at this moment, seeing her tears that were about to fall but didn''t, somewhere in his heart seemed to be gently tugged.


    "How long?" His voice was even more hoarse than before, his rationality continuously being devoured, and soon, he would lose control.


    "Half, half an hour... no, fifteen minutes... no no! Ten minutes... Ah! Stop! Wait a second! Five minutes... three minutes! I can definitely finish washing in three minutes!"


    Xia Yinian put her hands on his chest, her eyes brimming with tears: "Really, three minutes, I promise."


    "Don''t play tricks on me!" Gu Beicheng narrowed his eyes, a threatening aura at the bottom of them.


    "No, I wouldn''t dare." Xia Yinian shook her head in a fluster, "I really was just... taking a shower."


    Finally, the man let go of her, sat on the edge of the bed with his back to her, closed his eyes, and took deep breaths: "Three minutes!"


    "Yes!" Xia Yinian got up from the bed, picked up the shirt that had fallen on the floor, hurried into the bathroom, and with a click, locked the bathroom door.

 Chapter 4: No one has ever dared to deceive him!

    Chapter 4: Chapter 4: No one has ever dared to deceive him!Gu Beicheng was on the verge of collapsing.


    Xia Yinian knew he was in pain, also because he was willing to allow her three minutes to "take a bath," she inexplicably felt a touch of fondness toward this man.


    He seemed... not that barbaric after all, just truly on the brink of a mental breakdown.


    But, she couldn''t just give up her innocence out of sympathy for his plight!


    So, once she entered the bathroom and turned the faucet to its maximum, she quickly put on the man''s shirt to the loud noise of the falling water.


    He truly was tall; the shirt hem almost touched her knees when she wore it.


    But she dared not dawdle; after getting dressed, she immediately opened the only window in the bathroom.


    It was a very small window, one that a slightly larger person could never fit through.


    But Xia Yinian''s frame was naturally petite, fitting through was no problem for her at all.


    She cautiously crawled out of the window, not daring to glance below, took a deep breath, and clung desperately to the water pipe as she climbed down...


    ---


    Three minutes went by in a flash!


    Even though Gu Beicheng was semi out of control now, his sense of time was still very precise.


    Three minutes had passed, and the girl had not come out.


    He suddenly stood up, walked to the bathroom door and said discontentedly, "If you don''t come out, I''m breaking the door."


    There was no response from inside; Gu Beicheng''s brows slightly furrowed, and suddenly, he kicked out.


    It was an effortless kick, yet the sturdy door immediately crashed down.


    Just as he expected, the bathroom was deserted, the window wide open, the girl''s figure long gone.


    That girl, she dared to deceive him!


    No one had ever dared to play him! That girl must have a death wish!


    The bodyguards stationed outside heard the noise of the kick and immediately burst in, only to see Seventh Young Master standing at the bathroom door, engulfed in fury.


    "Seventh Young Master, you..." Chi He surveyed the room and asked, trembling, "The girl..."


    "She''s escaped!" Gu Beicheng closed his eyes for a moment; his body still radiated an unbearable heat, but his eyes at that moment were as cold as Shura''s from hell: "Find her!"


    "Yes! I''ll have someone check immediately!" Chi He pulled out his phone and hurriedly began to give orders.


    In the bathroom, the showerhead continued to pour out water. Gu Beicheng strode forward and stood under the cold water.


    He was in agony, but his icy eyes turned even colder.


    To dare deceive him! He would make sure that girl paid the heaviest price!


    ---


    Achoo!


    Walking in the night, Xia Yinian suddenly sneezed several times.


    She subconsciously pulled the men''s shirt closer around her, feeling strangely cold on this hot day.


    It was truly odd; she had already left that hotel far behind, and no one was following her, so why did she still feel so unsafe?


    The mere thought of the chill that man radiated made her uneasy.


    The more she thought about it, the more terrified she became! S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Fortunately, she had cleverly escaped.


    Finally, when she reached home, looking at the men''s clothes she was wearing, Xia Yinian didn''t dare to walk through the front gate and instead climbed over the wall to enter.


    Lucky her, the family''s bodyguards were not alarmed.


    Xia Yinian heaved a sigh of relief and was about to sneak into the side hall quietly but, just as she entered the door, suddenly, with a click, the lights throughout the entire side hall were turned on!


    The lights seemed like they were intentionally waiting for her!


    Immediately following was a plethora of gazes, all sweeping over her at the same time...

 Chapter 5 - 5 Maybe Call Off This Marriage

    Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Maybe Call Off This MarriageAt this moment, Xia Yinian was only wrapped in a men''s shirt, her slender legs appearing unusually pale and vulnerable in the air.


    Just eighteen years old, she was as beautiful as a blooming flower, her slightly pale face looking even more pitiable under the light.


    If it were in a room, just the two of them, Xia Yinian''s attire would be a fatal temptation for any man.


    But now, she was in the side hall, in front of a crowd of people!


    "Nian Nian, you actually... actually did such a thing!"


    Xia Chuxue, her half-sister, couldn''t help but gasp after her initial shock: "Nian Nian, how could you... Oh my God! What are we going to do with you in such a state?"


    She couldn''t help but look back, and in the crowd, a young man was sitting on the sofa in the side hall, next to Old Master Xia.


    He had an air of cool elegance, with handsome features that were cold and noble, and his indifferent eyes showed not a ripple of emotion.


    He was now looking indifferently at Xia Yinian, his sexy, attractive thin lips pursed, saying nothing.


    Old Master Xia stood up with a jolt after the shock, pointing at Xia Yinian, his finger trembling with rage.


    "You... you shameless girl! You..."


    "Dad, don''t get excited, take care not to harm your health!" Xia Liyuan, Xia Yinian''s father, hurried over to assist him.


    But Old Master Xia''s expression darkened, and he vented his anger onto him: "What a fine daughter you''ve raised!"


    "Dad, I..."


    But Old Master Xia had already turned away, looking instead at the young man still seated on the sofa, his face full of apologies.


    "Ling Qian, it is my Xia Family''s failure in education that led to such a granddaughter, making a joke in front of you!"


    Old Master Xia appeared to be full of apologies, but quickly turned the conversation: "Ling Qian, what do you think about this, shall we... change the fianc¨¦e?"


    Change the fianc¨¦e! Old Master Xia easily put forth such a suggestion!


    The people present had mixed emotions, yet no one from the Xia Family dared to utter a sound.


    The Xia Family and the Gu Family were longstanding friends. Old Master Xia was once an assistant to Old Master Gu, and they shared a deep friendship. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    They had made a verbal agreement that the eldest grandson of the Gu Family would marry one of the granddaughters from the Xia Family.


    After the granddaughters were born, their birth charts were sent to Old Master Gu, who took a fancy to Xia Yinian right away.


    And so, the marriage was decided.


    Remarkably, Gu Family''s Young Master Gu Lingqian, who had not even met Xia Yinian, did not oppose this matrimonial arrangement.


    Rumors had it that Gu Lingqian was a gentle person, and indeed, he was gentle to such an extent, starkly different from the arrogant character typical of aristocratic sons.


    Now, in response to Old Master Xia''s suggestion, Gu Lingqian remained calm, replying at ease: "This matter, Grandpa will have the final say."


    That is to say, he actually did not agree to change his fianc¨¦e, even after seeing Xia Yinian''s "scandalous" demeanor!


    "Young Master Ling..." Xia Chuxue walked over, her face flushed, and said softly: "It is our Xia Family''s Nian Nian who is at fault. If Young Master Ling is unhappy and wants to break off the engagement, our Xia Family will have no complaints."


    Her gentle and generous demeanor was the epitome of a noble lady!


    Yet Xia Yinian felt like bursting into laughter.


    Xia Chuxue, is this the reason behind your scheme tonight? To make Gu Lingqian cancel the engagement so you can take the place as Young Master Ling''s fianc¨¦e?


    "I have done nothing to wrong Young Master Ling."


    Xia Yinian''s voice, at such a moment, was exceptionally cold: "Tonight''s incident was a trap set up by Sister Chuxue."

 Chapter 6 - 6 How about you choose Chuxue?

    Chapter 6: Chapter 6 How about you choose Chuxue?"Nian Nian, what are you talking about?" Xia Chuxue, the one addressed, was stunned, her eyes immediately reddening.


    Standing in front of Gu Lingqian, she turned back to look at Xia Yinian, with tears at the corner of her eyes, unshed yet so pitiful.


    "Nian Nian, you left the banquet with those men, older sister has been looking for you, wanting to persuade you to come back, they are not good people."


    "But, older sister looked for you the whole night and couldn''t even find a trace of you."


    She bit her lip, fingers twisted together, a picture of ultimate heartache.


    "They are all famously frivolous troublemakers with a history of bad behavior, everyone knows, by going with them, isn''t it... isn''t it just asking to be completely taken advantage of?"


    "Older sister advised you for so long, yet you were stubborn, now that something has happened, you still blame me, you..."


    Her nose soured, and she quickly turned her face away, secretly wiping away her tears.


    Such a Xia Chuxue, standing beside a disheveled Xia Yinian, formed the most stark contrast.


    One pure and dignified like a lotus, the other loose and shameless, which one should a man choose, was there any doubt?


    Yet, Gu Lingqian, who still sat quietly on the sofa, seemed to lack even the interest to choose, merely observing them with a detached gaze.


    In fact, this was the first formal encounter between Xia Yinian and Gu Lingqian.


    Old Master Gu had asked Gu Lingqian to come and officially meet Xia Yinian, not expecting such events to unfold at tonight''s hotel banquet.


    Not only did his fianc¨¦e not come to meet him, but rumors had it she even left with a few troublemakers, playing the whole night until returning at midnight.


    Of course, all this was said by Xia Chuxue, and before seeing Xia Yinian, everyone still held some doubts about the truth.


    But now, seeing Xia Yinian''s condition, there was hardly any room for doubt left.


    The marks on her neck were clear, and the clothes on her body changed to a man''s, and underneath those clothes...there was probably nothing!


    With such conclusive evidence, was there a need for explanation?


    Xia Yinian originally had a great aversion to this kind of opulent marriage arrangement; she didn''t necessarily have to marry Gu Lingqian.


    Yet, Xia Chuxue, to be with Gu Lingqian, would actually harm her like this¡ªshe couldn''t accept it!


    "I didn''t leave with those men, it was Sister Chuxue who gave them money, wanting them to ruin me!"


    "Xia Yinian, do you have no shame? To frame your own older sister like this!"


    Xia Chuxue''s mother walked over quickly, pointing at Xia Yinian, her finely made-up face almost contorting with anger. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "How could you be so malicious! Our Chuxue has always been well-behaved, always so obedient! After making a mistake yourself, you still want to drag others down? You''ve really gone too far!"


    "Mom, Nian Nian is just young and doesn''t understand, it''s why she tries to shirk responsibility after making a mistake, don''t blame her."


    Clearly gripped by grievance, Xia Chuxue still sought to plead on behalf of Xia Yinian.


    Even though it implicitly accused Xia Yinian of indeed making a mistake, it was, after all, a plea.


    Such a gentle disposition, such magnanimity and kindness, it was truly rare!


    Old Master seemed to have completely lost hope in Xia Yinian, still looking at Gu Lingqian, full of apologies.


    "Ling Qian, Yinian really is... sorry, if you want to call off the engagement, our Xia Family will definitely agree. As for the marriage alliance Old Master Gu wished to have with our Xia Family..."


    He thought for a bit, finally pulling Xia Chuxue over: "Chuxue is also my granddaughter, Ling Qian, what do you think... you choose Chuxue?"

 Chapter 7 - 7 Inspection, I’ll Do It Myself

    Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Inspection, I''ll Do It MyselfHaving Xia Chuxue marry into the Gu Family is their common goal tonight, isn''t it?


    Xia Yinian sneered. As granddaughters, is Grandpa really this biased?


    Just because Xia Chuxue is obedient and could bring him business benefits in the future, and she, as a rebellious one, can''t give him any confidence?


    Or is it that he only cares about Xia Chuxue''s well-being, while she, Xia Yinian, is nothing but a blade of grass in his eyes?


    All eyes were on Gu Lingqian, but Gu Lingqian kept his thin lips lightly pursed, not saying a word, leaving everyone unsure if he was pondering or silently rejecting.


    This Young Master Ling, whom she was meeting for the first time, seemed elegant and gentle, yet those profound eyes were always mysterious, completely unfathomable.


    Even Old Master Xia, who had lived so many years, could not guess what this young man was thinking.


    Just when everyone was holding their breath, waiting for Gu Lingqian''s answer, a petite figure suddenly walked past Old Master Xia and the blushing Xia Chuxue, approaching Gu Lingqian.


    "Nian Nian, what are you doing?" Xia Chuxue''s palm tightened, subconsciously a bit nervous.


    Ever since they were young, she had always been better than Xia Yinian in everything except for one aspect that she could never surpass.


    And that was the face of Xia Yinian!


    Even if Xia Chuxue didn''t want to admit it, she had to acknowledge that Xia Yinian had the most beautiful face among all the girls in the Xia Family!


    She was afraid that Gu Lingqian would be charmed by Xia Yinian!


    Seeing Xia Yinian approaching, Old Master Xia''s face suddenly darkened: "Yinian, what are you doing? Get out! Don''t sully Ling Qian''s eyes!"


    He didn''t even bother to look at her current state! Dressed in a man''s shirt, with her legs shamelessly bare beneath it, she looked like a woman who had been taken advantage of by a man!


    How dare she brazenly walk up to Gu Lingqian looking like that, does she have no shame?


    "I''m still pure," Xia Yinian said, paying no attention to the scolding behind her, her round and crystal-clear eyes fixed unblinkingly on the dignified prince seated on the sofa.


    No humility, no unease, and not the slightest bit of guilt!


    "I was framed tonight, but I managed to escape! I''m still pure, if you don''t believe me, you can have a doctor come to examine me."


    "Xia Yinian, have you lost your mind! Go back and reflect on your actions!" Old Master Xia grabbed her arm and forcefully pulled her away.


    The housekeeper had to come over to help, trying to take Xia Yinian away.


    Suddenly, Gu Lingqian, who had been seated on the sofa, stood up and walked towards Xia Yinian.


    He walked towards Yinian!


    Old Master Xia''s grip on Xia Yinian''s hand loosen, and the housekeeper also hurriedly let her go.


    Everyone in the side hall watched Gu Lingqian, unsure of what he was going to do. S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Gu Lingqian walked straight up to Xia Yinian, suddenly raised his hand, and his long fingers landed on her chin, lifting her face: "Pure?"


    For the Xia Family, the Gu Family was far superior both in foundation and in power, capable of leaving the Xia Family in the dust.


    Therefore, the arrival of Mr. Ling from the Gu Family to the Xia Family was like a visit from imperial relatives to the common folk.


    Even if Gu Lingqian''s current actions were somewhat disrespectful to Xia Yinian, no one in the entire Xia Family dared to utter a word against him.


    Xia Yinian looked up at him; to be honest, she had no feelings for this fianc¨¦ she was meeting for the first time and didn''t really want to marry him.


    But the actions of Xia Chuxue and Grandpa had thoroughly infuriated her.


    She would not let Xia Chuxue have the man she wanted!


    "Yes, if you don''t believe me, you can have a doctor..."


    "Why go to such lengths?" Gu Lingqian''s thin lips curved up, revealing an exceptionally attractive smile: "If an examination is needed, I shall do it personally!"

 Chapter 8 - 8 You Little Bastard, I’ll Kill You

    Chapter 8: Chapter 8 You Little Bastard, I''ll Kill YouXia Yinian felt that her luck really wasn''t too great, it seemed as if she had provoked another man who shouldn''t be trifled with.


    Even now, back in her room, the memory of Gu Lingqian''s words "I''ll check it myself" still sent shivers down her spine.


    Isn''t it the simplest thing for a man to check a woman''s chastity?


    But who was going to check her?


    Everyone in the Xia Family treated Young Master Ling like a treasure, but not her, she couldn''t care less about these rich men.


    The notion of marrying into a wealthy family interested her even less.


    "Xia Yinian, you shameless woman!"


    The door was kicked open with a bang as Xia Chuxue and her mother He Shuya stormed in, then slammed shut the door with another bang.


    Envy and anger had twisted Xia Chuxue''s face into a complete distortion.


    "Xia Yinian, you slut! Why did you deceive Mr. Ling?"


    "What did I deceive him about?" Xia Yinian, freshly bathed and clothed, leisurely dried her long hair.


    "Also, Sister Chuxue, aren''t you always very gentle? Why are you behaving like a shrew now, aren''t you afraid of showing your ugly side to others?"


    "Xia Yinian, don''t spout this nonsensical crap with me!" The door was closed; Xia Chuxue didn''t care about her image anymore¡ªno one would see it anyway!


    "You''ve clearly been played by men, yet you dare to deceive Mr. Ling. What are you plotting?"


    "The one who''s been played by men is you, older sister," Xia Yinian sneered contemptuously. "You even know that those men have countless ''moves''; you must have been messing around with them quite a bit, right?"


    "Xia Yinian! How dare you sling mud! I''ll tear your mouth apart!"


    Xia Chuxue''s face became so red with anger, and she was even more furious at the sight of He Shuya doing nothing by the side.


    "Mom, how can you let her bully people like this?"


    He Shuya was initially a bit stunned; Xia Yinian''s words did seem to make some sense. How would her daughter know about men''s various ''moves''?


    Could it be that she really had... an unclear relationship with them?


    But now, seeing her daughter being bullied, how could she tolerate it? sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Xia Yinian, you little whore! You''re so disrespectful to your elders, I''ll beat you to death!"


    He Shuya, having recovered her senses, angrily strode over and grabbed Xia Yinian''s long hair.


    Seeing her chance, Xia Chuxue immediately rushed forward and swung her hand towards Yinian''s face.


    She hated Xia Yinian''s face the most and had always wanted to disfigure it!


    Those bright red fingernails looked extremely sharp, aiming for Xia Yinian''s pale and tender face, as if it could be pinched and water would ooze out at any moment.


    She wanted to ruin this face and see what Xia Yinian would use to seduce Mr. Ling then! See if Mr. Ling would still want to give her a "check"!


    Xia Yinian grabbed He Shuya''s wrist with one hand and gave it a harsh pinch.


    He Shuya immediately felt a numbness in her palm, forcing her to let go.


    But Xia Yinian did not release her grip; instead, she forcefully pulled while stepping backwards.


    He Shuya was dragged over, Xia Yinian moved back, and He Shuya occupied the spot just vacated by her...


    There was a slap, followed simultaneously by a woman''s scream. Xia Chuxue''s slap landed square on He Shuya''s face.


    "Ah! My face, my face!" He Shuya cried out, holding her face.


    It burned painfully, and when she touched it, she felt blood.


    "My face..." He Shuya screamed all the way as she ran towards the door and disappeared in an instant.


    Her daughter''s slap was so cruel it drew blood, and now there was a risk of a scar.


    Her face, ruined by the hands of her own daughter!

    Chapter 9: Chapter 9: The Man Who Could Cover the Sky with One HandXia Chuxue is really vicious, a slap almost ruined her own mom''s face.


    Had that slap landed on Xia Yinian''s face, her delicate features would have been completely destroyed.


    Never would have thought this woman could be so malicious!


    But, considering she could even arrange for a man to defile me, is there anything Xia Chuxue wouldn''t dare to do?


    Xia Yinian looked at Xia Chuxue, her face turning cold: "You can''t beat me, are you going to continue?"


    Xia Chuxue has always been a pampered rich lady; how could she be like me?


    Although Xia Yinian is also a lady of this household, she isn''t favored. So, she knew from a young age that she had to rely on her own efforts to secure a bright future.


    She''s been working part-time jobs since high school, what tough job hasn''t she done?


    Can Xia Chuxue, this delicate rich lady, compare to her in physical ability?


    "Why do you fight with me for Young Master Ling when you have no intention of marrying him?"


    Xia Chuxue might have been a bit shocked about what she did to her mom''s face, but after that fleeting moment, she didn''t care at all. sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After all, He Shuya was already at such an age; what''s there to lament if her face is ruined?


    Once again, Xia Yinian saw just how cruel her older sister could be, showing no compassion whatsoever even to her own mother!


    "I''m pleased with it!" she said coldly, leaning on the desk, "Just because I don''t want you to have him, what about it?"


    "You!" Xia Chuxue''s face turned red with rage, her teeth nearly shattering from how hard she was biting! "You better stay away from Mr. Ling, otherwise..."


    "Otherwise what?" Anyway, even if I backed off, Xia Chuxue wouldn''t let me off the hook, so why should I?


    "Still trying to scheme and trap me? Xia Chuxue, your personal life is a mess, I simply can''t be bothered with you. Watch your step, or you might just capsize in your own gutter!"


    Xia Chuxue was furious: "Where''s your proof? How dare you spout such nonsense! I''ll have Grandpa tear you to pieces!"


    Xia Yinian couldn''t care less about her; this sister was only so out of line because she relied on Grandpa''s favoritism in this house.


    She didn''t have any proof, and even if she did, Grandpa wouldn''t believe her. He might even accuse her of framing Xia Chuxue.


    Even though we''re both granddaughters, the treatment is worlds apart!


    Xia Chuxue finally left, but not without hurling a threat before going: "I will destroy you, I will! Just you wait!"


    The room door was slammed shut with a kick. Xia Yinian went over, locked it from the inside, and then went back to lie down on her bed.


    The fact that she had to lock her door to sleep in her own home says a lot about how dangerous this family is.


    She closed her eyes, but suddenly, an image flashed in her mind ¨C a face remarkably handsome, eyes deep and unfathomable.


    And then, that body she accidentally caught glimpse of in a moment of desperation...


    Panicking, Xia Yinian quickly opened her eyes again, her heart pounding chaotically.


    That man, he was too terrifying!


    She hoped to never see him again for the rest of her life!


    Tossing and turning restlessly, Xia Yinian suddenly remembered she hadn''t checked her phone all night. She immediately picked it up.


    There were several missed calls and a message from her bestie, Taotao.


    "Seventh Young Master is coming tomorrow, get back to the company early, and definitely don''t be late!"


    Seeing the message, Xia Yinian bolted up from the bed!


    Seventh Young Master! That legendary man who dominates Ye City single-handedly!


    The one who graduated with a doctorate at eighteen, founded Imperial Group at twenty, and made it one of the top three enterprises in Ye City by twenty-five, Seventh Young Master Gu!


    God, her idol was coming!

 Chapter 10 - 10 It’s him! He’s actually the Seventh Young Master!

    Chapter 10: Chapter 10 It''s him! He''s actually the Seventh Young Master!Seventh Master Gu is coming to the company, which is a huge and joyful event for everyone in the company.


    Xia Yinian has been working part-time in this company for a long time, from when she was sixteen till now at eighteen, a whole two years.


    This is the first time she has seen the company boss, general manager, and managers from all departments, all individuals with titles springing into action to welcome a distinguished guest!


    Lines were formed both inside and outside the company''s main gate, and Xia Yinian, who had been chosen to act as the welcoming lady, had already been standing at the doorway for over two hours.


    Seventh Young Master simply said he would come, not specifying when, so they lined up in tight formation before eight o''clock and kept waiting.


    At ten-thirty, a low-key colored but still luxuriously impressive limousine stopped at the entrance.


    Silver Charm!


    The sharp-eyed men each gasped in astonishment, admirably infatuated with this kind of luxury car that they could only see in magazines or on television!


    "But, wasn''t Silver Charm discontinued?" someone whispered.


    Soon another voice murmured, "No, that''s not Silver Charm, that''s the upgraded version of Silver Charm... But, are there upgraded versions of Silver Charm on the market?"


    The answer is, no, because that series had been discontinued and turned into a limited edition!


    This car was entirely customized! Maybe, there is only such one in the whole world!


    What level of car is Silver Charm? Well, let''s put it this way; the original version alone is around several billions, the upgraded version... incalculable!


    Such a luxury car, there are probably no more than three in the whole Ye City!


    The men''s gazes clung desperately to this car as it entered the gate, while the women''s eyes were completely captivated by the man descending from the car, unable to look away anymore!


    This is what dominance looks like! This too, is what handsomeness looks like!


    He wore a black suit, pure black, which further emphasized his noble aura, dazzling in its brilliance.


    A flawless face, even God couldn''t sculpt more perfect, his character stern, cool, and precious!


    Standing tall at one meter ninety, born with a leader''s presence, he became the king of the world the moment he appeared!


    Anyone standing beside him seemed like a trivial leaf in comparison, not even qualifying to be a leaf.


    "Nian Nian, I, I can''t stand anymore..." Taotao, standing next to Xia Yinian, showed an asphyxiating expression, almost ready to faint.


    So handsome! Such a handsome man!


    In her life, it was the first time she saw a man can be so devastatingly handsome!


    It was simply indescribable with words.


    Look at the women around, from eighty to eighteen, who isn''t staring in amazement, breathing heavily?


    Xia Yinian watched the man, who upon alighting from the car was immediately surrounded by all the company leaders like stars around the moon, and her breathing became erratic.


    But, it was not because of his handsomeness or charm, but... God! It''s him! It really is him! Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The man who had pinned her on the bed, almost forcefully taking possession of her!


    The man with a sexy and explosive figure, who she accidentally saw in his entirety!


    It''s him! He is actually Seventh Master Gu! He is actually the idol she has been madly adoring all along!


    "He... he is coming this way!" Taotao''s legs went weak, nearly kneeling down.


    Xia Yinian''s heart tightened, she instinctively looked up, in her panic meeting those dark, profound eyes.


    That pair of eyes, like a black hole, where once your gaze falls into, it can never exit, were now staring intensely at her.


    Xia Yinian''s legs also went weak, her instincts screamed to flee, but clearly, there was nowhere to escape!
