Aiya, of all times to ring the doorbell, it had to be at this time.
I was depressed, and Leng Yue was also panicking. The ringing of the bell had woken up the three women upstairs.
Sister-in-law walked out of the room. Luckily, I was quick and ran to open the door. Leng Yue pretended to be watching TV.
When I opened the door, it turned out to be the delivery rider. Seeing that he was carrying a lot of bags, I couldn't blame him. Sigh, if I knew it would be like this, I would have waited until after the kiss before ordering.
I brought the food over. Just as I was about to close the door, I found a slender jade-like hand hooking on the edge of the door.
Immediately after, a beautiful figure appeared in front of me. It was actually a young married woman who looked to be around thirty years old. Although she wasn't dressed extravagantly, she had a graceful beauty to her. Moreover, her appearance was especially charming. She belonged to the type of beauty that could be remembered with a single glance.
"Is Leng Yue here?" She asked bluntly.
"Ah, who are you?" I was a little surprised.
"Master." Leng Yue's voice came from the room. She couldn't hide her surprise.
Hearing Leng Yue's voice, the young woman walked in casually. I was stunned. Master?
Could it be that the young woman in front of me was Curator Du's ex-wife, Gu Yue?!
I had some understanding of their past. I could only say that Old Ouyang's despicable actions had separated a pair of lovers.
Since Gu Yue was a martial artist at the peak of negative jing, she could see through Leng Yue's current situation at a glance. She immediately turned to look at me. "You little bastard. You caused Leng Yue to lose her cultivation and was poisoned. You even brought her home. What do you want?!"
It turned out that early in the morning, Curator Du had called Gu Yue. He didn't dare to hide anything since it was related to Leng Yue's life. Gu Yue had a bad temper. She was furious. Even though Curator Du kept saying good things for me, it didn't work. Gu Yue promised him that she wouldn't cause trouble for me. Instead, she booked the fastest flight to Kun City. Then, she rented a car to Yun City.
With her means, it was easy for her to find out my specific address. That's why she was questioning me now.
"Uh, Senior, you misunderstood …" I was a little embarrassed.
"Is it a misunderstanding?
Come, come, come. As a man, swear to the heavens that you've never done anything to Yue 'er. Otherwise, your cultivation will forever stagnate. "I couldn't help but admit that Gu Yue was quite serious. She didn't even give me a chance to explain before making me swear a poison oath.
"Master, it's not what you think. Xiao Zhuang treats me very well. Don't treat him like this," Leng Yue said hurriedly.
"Treat you well?
Little Yue, have you made a mistake? Don't tell me that it wasn't because of him that you ended up in this state? "Gu Yue's brows were tightly knitted, and she was somewhat angry out of humiliation.
Leng Yue was suddenly speechless. This was an undeniable fact. Curator Du had probably already informed Leng Yue. This was understandable. If he kept hiding it from Gu Yue and suddenly received the bad news of Leng Yue, Curator Du would definitely have to bear the consequences. He would be stuck in the middle.
I didn't blame him. I could only say that it was my fault. Now that trouble had come to my door, I could only brace myself and bear it.
However, this quarrel made the three women upstairs a little confused.
Sister-in-law hurried downstairs. "Hey, Madam, if you have something to say, you can say it nicely."
"Shut up. I'm speaking. Do you have the right to criticize me?" Gu Yue glared at Sister-in-law, and a wave of qi instantly enveloped her.
Sister-in-law was only a weak woman. How could she withstand this kind of deterrence? Her face was pale and her body couldn't help but tremble.
I quickly rushed over and stood in front of her. The condensed inner strength was like a wall, protecting Sister-in-law. The pressure on her body instantly disappeared. Only then did I heave a sigh of relief.
"Yi." Gu Yue was surprised. She didn't think that my inner strength was so deep.
Actually, Sister-in-law was a little puzzled. Didn't Leng Yue come over to discuss business? Why did a young married woman come over to cause trouble and even drag me into it? It was really awkward.
At this time, Little Cherry and Liu Jie also ran down.
"Hey, are you afraid that you're a shrew? Do you believe that I won't call the police and arrest you?"
Liu Jie was a person who wasn't afraid of anything. Seeing Sister-in-law being bullied, she couldn't control herself. This was Yun Cheng, after all, and it was also considered Liu Jie's territory.
"That's right. My grandfather is the commander-in-chief. If you continue to cause trouble, you won't have a good ending," Little Cherry said angrily.
The alliance formed by the three of them wasn't just for show. Right now, they had to be united against outsiders. Even though Sister-in-law was the big sister, she didn't have any status. On this point, Liu Jie and Little Cherry knew that they would stand up to protect her.
I felt warm in my heart. It wasn't easy for them to get along with each other like this.
Even Gu Yue was stunned. Gu Yue didn't care about a fair, rich, and beautiful woman like Liu Jie, but Little Cherry's identity was indeed unique. Moreover, she couldn't understand why the three of them could get along so well.
"Which one of you is his girlfriend?" Gu Yue couldn't help but ask.
The three women looked at each other and said in unison, "All of us!"
"What?"
Gu Yue felt her worldview was in chaos. If they were a group of gold-diggers, she wouldn't be surprised even if there were eight or ten of them. However, among the three women, there was Shangguan Wan 'er. She was definitely a noble in Nan Yun Province.
She was willing to share a man with other women. It was really unbelievable.
"Shangguan Wan 'er, right? I think you're crazy. I've met your grandfather a few times, and we're quite familiar with each other. With your identity, you could have found any man, but why did you have to choose a playboy?" Gu Yue said angrily.
"Brother Xiao Zhuang isn't a playboy. Don't talk nonsense. Moreover, he has my grandfather's approval. You'd better not mess around, unless you don't want to stay in Nan Yun Province anymore." Little Cherry put her hands on her hips, revealing a rare unruly expression.
Although she had a bit of an imposing manner, her baby face made her look very playful.
Gu Yue couldn't help but frown. What kind of people are they? Have they been drugged?
"Alright, alright. Kid, let's talk about the matter as it stands. If you can't find a suitable item to cure the five poisons, Xiao Yue is completely hopeless. Even if you have a powerful background, I will still make you pay with your life!"
Gu Yue didn't continue to argue with Little Cherry. Her gaze shifted to me. Her words revealed an unprecedented firmness. Moreover, she slammed her palm on the dining table. A palm-shaped hole appeared on the solid wood table.
The three women jumped in fright. They didn't think that a dignified and beautiful woman could be so terrifying when she was angry!
