No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Seeing the odds stacked against her, Yan Yuxiao lowered her head with tears falling down. Then, she jumped into Elderly Lady Gu’s arms and cried miserably.

“Grandma, I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault!”

‘Huh?’

Gu Zijin raised his eyebrows. He was quite surprised about Yan Yuxiao’s sudden confession because the Yan Yuxiao he knew would never admit having done it.

‘Admitting your guilt now?’ Gu Zijin knew that Yan Yuxiao didn’t do this out of fear, but only to avoid making bigger mistakes.

Elderly Lady Gu had been blinded by her affection toward Yan Yuxiao and couldn’t figure out what kind of person the latter was.

But Gu Zijin was not so easy to fool.

As Gu Zijin had expected, while Yan Yuxiao was confessing her fault, she kept finding reasons to justify her behavior.

With a guilty look on her face, Yan Yuxiao whose eye makeup was already smudged gasped, “Grandma Gu, it’s my fault. I was so happy that day, so I couldn’t help but tell Xiaobai about it. I never expect that the words I said would cause such great trouble to your family. I have wanted to tell you, but I was so afraid…”

Gu Zijin was right. If Yan Yuxiao still refused to admit her fault right now, Elderly Lady Gu would only be more suspicious of her. In the meantime, Yan Yuxiao already realized that Gu Zijin must have the irrefutable evidence against her.

She would rather admit her fault first than see Gu Zijin expose her wrongdoing. In this way, she could also prevent Gu Zijin from carrying on his next plan.

Hearing that, Elderly Lady Gu was startled at once and felt overwhelmed by anger. However, as she was about to fly into a rage, she couldn’t help but pity Yan Yuxiao when seeing the latter crying so piteously. Then Elderly Lady Gu sighed, “Yuxiao, why didn’t you think of the consequence before you did something like this?”

‘I have tried my best to protect you, and you are now slapping on my face!’ Thinking of that, Elderly Lady Gu showed a disappointed look and shook her head.

Then she also started to wonder if she had given too much trust to Yan Yuxiao. If Gu Zijin hadn’t questioned Yan Yuxiao, Elderly Lady Gu might have blamed him again.

‘So he must have had Yuxiao set aside to give her a warning!’

“Grandma Gu, I am really so sorry.”

Yan Yuxiao, with her eyes red from crying, looked very pitiful. She knelt in front of Elderly Lady Gu and apologized with a sincere attitude, “I was overjoyed at that time, I thought… I thought that I would become Xiaobai’s mother, so I couldn’t help telling him that.”

Gu Zijin snorted.

‘That’s so funny, you still didn’t forget to blame it on Xiaobai until now. Are you planning to play the old tricks to win my grandma’s pity?’

He only felt sick seeing her tricks.

Then, Gu Zijin crossed his arms and interrupted Yan Yuxiao’s act in a cold voice, “So, now you want to blame Xiaobai for everything you’ve done?”

Hearing that, Yan Yuxiao got panicky at once and waved her hands in denial, “No, no, I didn’t mean that. This is all my fault. I shouldn’t have talked too much. After what has happened in this family, I couldn’t sleep or eat all day with guilty feelings!”

‘Gu Zijin, how can you see through everything!’ She thought.

Right now, Yan Yuxiao’s palms were already sweaty. Every word Gu Zijin said weighed on her.

“Gosh, I never realize…” Elderly Lady Gu shook her head with tiredness in her eyes. Then she waved to Yan Yuxiao and said, “Yuxiao, you should go back now. I’m a bit tired today, we can discuss this some other day.”

Elderly Lady Gu regarded what Yan Yuxiao had done as betrayal. She had always thought that Yan Yuxiao was an obedient and gentle girl, and never had she expected that the girl would have done something like this.

‘Is she actually a girl with lots of schemes and her innocent appearance is just a disguise? Have I… been wrong about her the whole time?’

“Ye Han.” Elderly Lady Gu who felt very upset right now said that slowly, “I’m so exhausted now. Help me to the room. I need to have a rest.”

Mrs. Gu walked over to help Elderly Lady Gu at once.

“Fine, mom.”

Before Mrs. Gu left with the old lady, she took a glance at Yan Yuxiao who was still crying now. Before today, Mrs. Gu already found Yan Yuxiao a bit weird, and what happened just now had surprised Mrs. Gu again.

Yan Yuxiao knew from Elderly Lady Gu that Qin Xiaobai ran away from home and Qin Muxuan had a car accident. However, at that time, there had been no guilty look on her face, and she had even wanted to visit Qin Muxuan with feigned sympathy.

Now only that, Yan Yuxiao had chatted and laughed with Elderly Lady Gu as if she had nothing to do with everything. Only when her wrongdoing was exposed did she start to say that she couldn’t sleep or eat out of guilt.

‘What a sudden change!’

Thinking of that, Mrs. Gu only felt a chill down her spine. ‘Yan Yuxiao is definitely not as simple as she looks.’

“Zijin, you were doing a right thing by letting me be set aside by my company.” Even though Elderly Lady Gu had left, Yan Yuxiao still put on that pitiful look. She raised her head with her eyes swollen from crying and said to Gu Zijin, “It’s all my fault.”

‘Why can’t you just stop pretending? You truly are a professional actor, I guess.’

Gu Zijin thought that with no expression on his face, seeming not touched at all. Then he called Nanny Chen over immediately, “Nanny Chen, take Yan Yuxiao away from this house.”

“Yes, Young Master.” Nanny Chen walked to Yan Yuxiao and said, “Miss Yan, I’ve already told the car to wait outside the door. The driver would send you home.”

Yan Yuxiao, head lowered, followed Nanny Chen out of the Gu’s house while sobbing. However, the moment she sat in the car, she stopped shedding tears more instantly than stopping the water from running by turning off the tap.

She looked outside the car window with a gruesome look in her eyes, seeming to be plotting something evil.

After Yan Yuxiao had been driven away, Gu Zijin went upstairs straightly. Mrs. Gu happened to walk out of the bedroom. As she saw Gu Zijin, she said, “Your grandma is asleep now. Perhaps the thing about Yan Yuxiao has given her a heavy blow.”

Gu Zijin nodded and said, “When she woke up, I’ll tell Nanny Chen to make her the soup for calming her.”

Gu Zijin hadn’t wanted to expose the thing Yan Yuxiao had done straightly in front of Elderly Lady Gu, considering the old lady’s body condition. Unfortunately, Yan Yuxiao had gone too far.

However, perhaps Elderly Lady Gu was able to see the true colors of Yan Yuxiao from now on. Gu Zijin felt that it was a good thing.

“Is the wound on Muxuan’s leg healed?” Mrs. Gu asked concernedly, “When can she leave hospital?”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“She’s not badly injured. It’s a closed fracture, but the doctor said that she still needs to stay in hospital for a while.”

Only when Gu Zijin mentioned Qin Muxuan would the expression in his eyes be softened, “She is having a good recovery. The doctor has examined her lately and said that the breaking bone is starting to mend. She will start to receive the recovery treatment from the day after tomorrow, I’ll accompany her then.”
