Chapter 839: Chapter 839: The Woman Who Was Thrown Away Five Years Ago (5)

Standing not far from Father Bai, Old Master Gu, Old Master An, and An Yiqing couldn’t help but laugh out loud, their eyes brimming with mockery.

What Father Bai said was clear to anyone with a brain. Five years ago, Guh Siyi seduced Gu Yelin in a bar, only to be unceremoniously thrown out by him, a fact that was vividly spread by Guh Siqing at the Xuandu Jade Stone Conference back then. Everyone present had heard the story.

Father Bai’s sarcastic words suggested nothing other than Guh Siyi’s lack of self-respect. How could such a person have the audacity to speak with authority and dare to accuse his Bai Family of muddying the waters? Father Bai sneered in his heart, eager to see how Gu Yelin would manage this after upsetting the elder of his family.

Indeed, as soon as the words were spoken, Guh Siyi’s face turned a shade darker, and the seemingly gentle smile on her face momentarily twisted with the struggle of wanting to lash out but not daring to show it. This gave Father Bai immense satisfaction.

Equally, Guh Tian wore an expression as if he had swallowed something disgusting. Yet, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, although angry, what could he say?

After glaring at Guh Siyi without leaving a trace, Guh Tian looked at Father Bai with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes and said, "Nephew Bai, society has changed now. Marriage and love are free, and everyone has the right to pursue their love..."

"Patriarch Guh, young as I am, I can’t say I agree with you!"

Before Guh Tian could finish, his words were interrupted by an enchanting voice. They turned to see Bai Yiming in a red dress.

His temples throbbing fiercely, Guh Tian looked at Bai Yiming, who was all smiles and felt as if his blood was flowing backward. Among Xuandu’s most unruly troublemakers, Gu Yelin and Bai Yiming were considered the worst. However, Gu Yelin was aloof and indifferent to everyone, and he would settle his scores on the spot. Bai Yiming was different—possessing a devilishly handsome face, he engaged in the most mischievous deeds, torturing people with insidiously underhanded tactics.

Therefore, the sight of Bai Yiming’s smile instantly filled Guh Tian with irritation.

"Ha ha, Yiming? Long time no see. What have you been up to lately?" Guh Tian offered a perfunctory smile, attempting to change the subject.

As cunning as Bai Yiming was, how could he fail to notice Guh Tian’s intent? He casually shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "Not up to much, just started a small company, hustling through wind and rain every day. At night, I’m alone with nothing to do, sometimes hanging out, only to be constantly troubled by love-struck girls. Patriarch Guh, your statement just now isn’t quite right. Although marriage and love are free, unsightly and self-important cling-ons are also quite a nuisance. Oh, speaking of which, Lao San is here. Lao San, tell us what you think. Am I right?" Bai Yiming raised his head and saw Gu Yelin heading toward An Yiqing, hurriedly stretching his neck to call out.

Gu Yelin paused in his steps, turned his head to look this way, and his gaze collided with the repressed yet joyful eyes of Guh Siyi.

He’s looking at her! He’s actually looking at her! Does that mean he still harbors feelings for her?

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Guh Siyi unreasonably regained her confidence from that fleeting eye contact with Gu Yelin, which lasted less than a tenth of a second.

However, her elation didn’t last long, as it was shattered by the dismissiveness in Gu Yelin’s eyes.

"Lao San, come over here, guess who’s back?" Bai Yiming grabbed Gu Yelin and pulled him over, turning his playful gaze toward Guh Siyi. "Lao San, you remember her, right? This is the one from back then..."

"I don’t recognize her, no impression."

Gu Yelin interrupted Bai Yiming’s words with an icy coldness.

Guh Siyi looked incredulously at Gu Yelin, searching for signs of guilt or avoidance in his eyes. To her disappointment, Gu Yelin’s gaze was forthright which meant he truly did not recognize her!

How could this be? How could he not remember her?! Guh Siyi’s heart was filled with grief.

Yet, to Gu Yelin, her sorrow seemed nothing more than melodrama, and what he felt most was disgust.

He truly didn’t recognize this woman. What was Bai Yiming doing bringing him here?

Gazing tenderly at An Yiqing who was watching the drama unfold from a distance, Gu Yelin’s resentment towards Bai Yiming grew even deeper.

"Lao San, what are you doing? Do you really not recognize her?" Bai Yiming tugged at Gu Yelin, leaned close to his ear, lowered his voice, and whispered, "Have you forgotten? Five years ago, the woman you threw out of the bar—that’s her!"

Once Bai Yiming put it that way, Gu Yelin’s face instantly revealed a look of sudden realization; so this woman was the sticker from five years ago who would stick to anyone.

Guh Siyi was at Mid-Level of the Innate Realm; unless she severed her own meridians, there was no way she wouldn’t hear the whispers that Bai Yiming was able to lower his voice for.

Watching the undisguised disdain and disgust in Gu Yelin’s eyes, Guh Siyi’s entire heart turned cold.

He actually didn’t remember her! Even after the way Guh Siqing had described her at the Xuandu Jade Stone Conference, this man disdained to remember! What was wrong with her? She loved him so much, why didn’t he remember?!

A fierce fire blazed in her heart, and Guh Siyi felt as though she was being consumed by rage. Her complexion grew worse by the second, and the killing aura she exuded startled even Guh Tian.

Guh Tian looked surprisedly at his granddaughter whom he hadn’t seen for five years and for the first time felt that she seemed a little different from five years ago.

"Siyi!" he roared lowly, his voice carrying inner breath resonated in Guh Siyi’s mind like the ringing of bells.

Immersed in the blazing rage, Guh Siyi’s head buzzed as if it was about to explode, her face turned pale, and she quickly took two steps back.

What was happening? Why was she like this?

Seeing the curious expressions of Bai Yiming and Gu Yelin around her, Guh Siyi’s heart suddenly became a bit flustered. She took a deep breath, struggled to suppress the unease in her heart, and managed a shallow smile.

"I just felt a little unwell, I apologize." Unlike the bashful demeanor of other delicate ladies, Guh Siyi’s voice had a touch of allure and coolness. If an ordinary man heard it, he would certainly be captivated by her unique temperament.

But Gu Yelin and Bai Yiming were not ordinary men, their tastes were certainly not that vulgar.

"It’s no trouble at all, Miss Guh just returned from Country Jin, we all understand the discomfort with the change of environment." Bai Yiming chuckled, nodded, and said, "My apologies, we have too many guests today and have not been able to attend to everyone. Lao San, let’s go. The little girl must be getting anxious."

With that, Bai Yiming’s gaze fell on An Yiqing in the distance. He didn’t even give Guh Siyi a glance and strode directly toward her.

As for Gu Yelin, he was even more exaggerated than Bai Yiming. As soon as Bai Yiming mentioned leaving, he merely nodded at Father Bai and turned to leave.
