"Master Xia, I still have some matters to attend to so I won't disturb you any longer."
Gu Ruoyun slowly rose to her feet and gently curled the corners of her lips. She concealed the cold light in her eyes and replied pointedly, "Isn't there a saying? If you don't want anyone to know, don't do it. No matter who had murdered Xia Ruoyun, the murderer will reveal himself one day. Mo Shangfei, let's go find the Little Princess now. "
Instantly, Xia Ming's heart trembled. He stared at the direction where Gu Ruoyun had left and his eyelids twitched.
Does she know the truth behind Xia Ruoyun's death?
That shouldn't be possible. She was probably talking about other people and has nothing to do with the Xia family. Besides, this little girl was only a small fry. Even if she knew, she would not be able to stir up any waves.
Xia Ming gradually calmed down at the thought of this, "Chuxue, see our guests out!"
...
In the courtyard, just as Gu Ruoyun and Mo Shangfei were about to step out, a graceful voice rang out from behind them.
"Lady Gu, please wait."
Gu Ruoyun paused in her steps and turned towards Xia Chuxue who had caught up to her. She asked expressionlessly, "Is something the matter?"
Xia Chuxue was not angered by Gu Ruoyun's coldness. Her peerlessly beautiful face remained smiling, "It's nothing. It's just that I know most of my older sister's friends. Why have I never heard of your name, Lady Gu?"
She narrowed her eyes slightly and a cold glint flashed across her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
"Just because you don't know her doesn't mean that I don't know her." Gu Ruoyun smiled.
She did not know why but when Xia Chuxue saw her smile, her heart skipped a beat.
It was a very strange feeling, it was as if... Xia Ruoyun was standing in front of her and smiling at her.
"Lady Gu, please don't misunderstand, I'm just curious." Xia Chuxue quickly regained her composure and smiled, "Even though my older sister and I are half-sisters, we have been very close ever since we were young so she would never hide anything from me. However, I can guarantee that I've never met you. Now that you've suddenly claimed to be my older sister's friend, it would be very strange."
Close ever since they were young?
That was only in the eyes of the world. As for the real situation, only the people involved knew.
Gu Ruoyun laughed icily, "Xia Chuxue, if I remember correctly, Xia Ruoyun had once told me that she had risked her life to snatch the Heavenly Spirit Fruit from the hands of a spiritual beast but you had stolen it! Gu Ruoyun had only just reached the rank of a Martial King at the time and her grandfather was away from home. So, no one in the Xia family could help her at that time. The funniest thing was, Xia Ming believed that she was in the wrong first and did not know how to be respectful so he forced her to apologize! Because she refused to comply, she was beaten half to death by Xia Ming. Even though she did not complain to the Master of the Xia family, she secretly swore that she would personally take revenge for what happened that day! "
"You …"
Xia Chuxue's expression changed drastically but when she remembered that Mo Shangfei was still around, she quickly regained her composure and smiled, "Lady Gu, my older sister was only joking with you. I've always respected and loved her since we were young so why would I steal the Heavenly Spirit Fruit that she had prepared for her breakthrough?"
"I was just saying," Gu Ruoyun smiled as a light flashed across her eyes, "Of course, I can forget about what had happened in the past. After all, you are her family so for her sake, I will take good care of the Xia family."
She will certainly take good care of the Xia family. As for how she would take good care of them, that was not up to anyone else to decide.
