Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

During this period, Ye Qingzi frequented numerous banquets in Jin City, gathering information on Gu Jin while also picking up rumors about Gu Yang.

The Gu family boasted a sterling reputation among Jin City’s elite, known for their refinement and grace. However, Gu Jin stood out as a stark contrast to the rest, unruly and unpredictable.

Ye Qingzi recognized the strategic advantage her status as a supposed illegitimate daughter afforded her within the Gu family, including a claim to shares from both her maternal side and Gu Jin. Her resilience was evident, making her a formidable adversary.

Utilizing her position, she saw an opportunity to leverage Gu Yang against Gu Jin effortlessly.

The arrival of Ye Qingzi caused a ripple of excitement among the attendees. Gu Jin, engaged in conversation with Xiao Yize, visibly tensed as Ye Qingzi approached Gu Yang. Without hesitation, she made her way over to intercept the interaction.

Xiao Yize paused, momentarily taken aback. As he laid eyes on Ye Qingzi, a realization dawned upon him. Was Miss Gu concerned that her sister might face mistreatment from Ye Qingzi?

“Your assumption about my affections is inaccurate,” Xiao Yize interjected, his tone grave as he addressed Gu Jin.

Gu Jin’s demeanor turned icy. “I’m aware of the amicable ties between our families. However, today is a significant occasion for my sister and me. If Ye Qingzi causes any distress to my sister, I won’t overlook it, regardless of your associations.”

Today held great significance…

A subtle twitch played at the corner of Xiao Yize’s lips. Gu Jin’s words weren’t entirely unfounded, yet they felt peculiar.

Feeling unjustly accused, he defended himself. “Miss Gu, our past doesn’t define our present. We aren’t on good terms. You needn’t extend any favors on my behalf.”

But had he neglected to inform Miss Gu about the harmonious relationship between the Xiao and Ye families?

Xiao Yize swiftly pieced together the situation. It seemed Ye Qingzi had once again stirred trouble for Gu Jin behind his back.

Unsure of what Ye Qingzi had divulged to Gu Jin, Xiao Yize felt it prudent to distance himself from her. “In truth, our families’ relations have soured since my mother’s illness.”

Previously, their families had enjoyed a close bond through his mother and Ye Qingzi’s, who were best friends. However, with his mother now incapacitated and Ye Qingzi seemingly involved, any amicable ties had disintegrated, leaving behind a bitter animosity between the Xiao and Ye households.

“Gu Jin, where have you been? I’ve been searching for you,” Gu Pei, clad in a white suit, approached Gu Jin.

Spotting her with Xiao Yize, he appeared taken aback. “Principal Xiao, what brings you here with my sister?”

Gu Jin’s temples pulsed visibly. “I’ve asked you not to address me as ‘sister’.”

Gu Pei acquiesced, albeit with a slight twist. “Alright, Big… Sister Jin!”

Gu Pei observed Gu Jin flexing her fingers and recalled her adeptness in concealing her actions, particularly her confrontation at the internet cafe, where she left no trace. Adjusting his words accordingly, he redirected the conversation.

Choosing not to dwell on why Gu Jin and Xiao Yize were together, Gu Pei took charge, guiding Gu Jin away. “Our sister is eagerly awaiting your candle-blowing ceremony. Let’s not keep her waiting.”

Gu Jin disdainfully brushed off Gu Pei’s attempt to control the situation and hastened her steps, leaving him behind.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yize trailed after her, a subtle smile gracing his refined features. Was Gu Jin intentionally diverting attention from the prior discussion?

Ye Qingzi, aware of Xiao Yize’s presence at the banquet, couldn’t feign ignorance. She occasionally cast glances in his direction and soon noticed Gu Jin and Xiao Yize heading towards the cake.

A cold smirk adorned Ye Qingzi’s lips as she followed alongside Gu Zhaoming and Ruan Xueling, the crowd parting to make way for Gu Yang and the cake.

“I’ve been residing in Jin City for some time now. I’ve often heard of your reputation, Miss Gu Yang, as a paragon of gentility and elegance. It’s no surprise, considering your upbringing in the esteemed Gu family. That’s precisely why I’ve taken the liberty to join in celebrating your birthday today,” Ye Qingzi spoke, her voice carrying a deliberate clarity, ensuring Gu Jin could hear every word.
