章節 4: Ye Xiu (4) Sub Eng
Gu Shen gestured to one of his guards. The guard promptly stepped forward and knocked on the door of the dilapidated house. The sound of the knock echoed among the fragile walls.
Before long, the door creaked open, revealing a young girl with a striking appearance.
Ye Tian's younger sister had a beautiful face, with large eyes and a small, lovely nose. However, her height of only about 156 cm made her appear slightly thin, showing signs of malnutrition. Her face was pale, and she appeared somewhat unwell. Just as he remembered about Ye Tian's sibling. He was quite surprised to find out that Ye Tian's sister was very pretty, but she seemed to be malnourished.
The girl was taken aback to see Gu Shen at the door. She didn't recognize who this man was, but his attire and demeanor indicated that he was someone of great influence.
A whirlwind of thoughts raced through her mind.
"Is this person at the wrong place?" she wondered inwardly.
However, she quickly dismissed her doubts and invited her guest inside.
"Please come in," she said softly, trying to maintain politeness despite her unease.
Inside the house, the situation was much worse than it appeared from the outside.
The walls were cracked, the floor dusty, and the few pieces of furniture present were old and worn out.
She looked around awkwardly, feeling ashamed of the condition of her home.
"I apologize," she said, bowing her head.
"Our house is very simple and shabby. We only have one chair, so please have a seat here."
Gu Shen sat on the only available chair, while the girl stood awkwardly nearby. Gu Shen's guard remained by the door, ensuring there were no disturbances.
"My name is Gu Shen. May I know your name?"
Gu Shen initiated the conversation in a calmer tone, trying to maintain composure.
"I am Ye Xiu," the girl replied softly, still standing awkwardly near Gu Shen.
"I apologize, we don't have any more chairs."
Gu Shen nodded, trying to remain composed.
"It's okay, Ye Xiu. I actually came here to discuss something important."
Before Gu Shen could continue, Ye Xiu began speaking quickly, as if she had already prepared a lengthy story.
"You see, our lives have been very difficult since our parents passed away," she said, her voice sounding poignant.
"We lost our parents when my brother Ye Tian and I were very young. Since then, we've had to fend for ourselves. My brother, Ye Tian, is very caring towards me. He does everything he can to take care of me."
Gu Shen tried to interject, "I understand, but..."
Ye Xiu didn't give him a chance.
"You can see for yourself the condition of our house. We have almost nothing. Every day, Ye Tian works hard to ensure we have enough food on the table. he even has to work multiple jobs. Sometimes, I feel so guilty for not being able to help more."
Gu Shen felt his lips starting to twitch, trying to remain composed, but he had to admit that this girl's acting was impressive, on par with some famous actors.
Thinking about her living in a neighborhood like this but having this talent, Gu Shen wondered what situation this girl was facing to end up like this.
Pressing his thoughts, Gu Shen wouldn't forget his purpose for coming here. He came with the purpose of demanding accountability, but Ye Xiu seemed very cunning.
"Ye Xiu, I..." Gu Shen tried again, but once again, he was cut off by the girl's story.
"And my health is also not good," Ye Xiu continued, her voice growing fainter, as if she wanted to make sure Gu Shen heard her.
There are many days when I can't get out of bed. My brother is always there to take care of me, even when he himself is very tired." Ye Xiu spoke like that on the outside but cursed her brother in her heart.
Her brother, Ye Tian, is lazy, angry, and even useless. He spends his days sleeping all day in his room.
In addition to consuming food, he also often causes problems every day that make Ye Xiu have to solve them.
Indeed, her useless brother refuses to work so she, a weak girl, has to work hard to support their family.
This makes her unsatisfied with her brother.
However, her brother suddenly made a 360-degree change a week ago. He, who used to be lazy, is now very diligent, so Ye Xiu no longer needs to work to support their family because her brother has taken over.
She thought her brother had changed, but who would have thought that this time he would create problems with someone who seemed to have a high status.
So, Ye Xiu is very angry at her brother.
"I thought my brother had changed, but turns out he hasn't changed at all," she thought with frustration.
Gu Shen, who had been interrupted by Ye Xiu's story, felt very unpleasant and demeaned if we were to speak in between, especially given his status, Ye Xiu should have respected him.
Staring at Ye Xiu in front of him, Gu Shen spoke with a serious tone, emitting pressure that made Ye Xiu afraid to speak.
"Ye Xiu,"
Gu Shen began in a calm tone, his eyes glaring at the girl.
"I understand the situation you have described."
Ye Xiu swallowed nervously, feeling the pressure from Gu Shen's suddenly serious tone.
"What do you want?" she asked in a small voice, feeling scared but also curious.
"I did not come here to listen to stories," continued Gu Shen.
"I came to resolve the issue. Your brother, Ye Tian, has done something that I cannot simply overlook.
"Ye Xiu sighed, trying to think of the right response. She knew her brother had caused a big problem this time, and she had to find a way to appease the man in front of her.
"Sir, I apologize for what my brother has done," Ye Xiu said with a trembling voice.
"I will do anything you ask so that you can forgive my brother."
Seeing that the control was finally in her hands, Gu Shen felt excited. However, suddenly one of his guards came in, sweating and with a frightened face.
Gu Shen was displeased with his guard for disturbing him at such a crucial time.
"What are you doing? Why are you disturbing?" Gu Shen asked sharply.
