Chapter 99: I Did Not Mean It...
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Tianchao was stunned.
"Bastard!" Gu Xietian was the first to react, and he was outraged.
He slapped Gu Tianchao hard in the face which made him take a few steps back. He quickly took off the robe he was wearing and covered Leng Xiangyu so that she would not be exposing her body in public. He also checked her veins and confirmed that she just passed out and had no other serious problems.
Gu Xietian was a martial arts master who was also skilled at medical treatments. He used his fingers to massage the relevant areas as a form of acupuncture to Leng Xiangyu, and in just a while, she managed to regain consciousness. Upon waking up, she subconsciously cursed, "I was almost killed by this bitch..." Before she could complete her sentence, she saw the angry face of Gu Xietian, so she did not dare to continue speaking.
Gu Xietian was irritated. He stood up and shouted, "What are you complaining about? This was all because of your precious son. You are the wife of a general. Please behave appropriately in public instead of cursing and crying like a crazy woman."
Upon being attacked by his sharp tongue, Leng Xiangyu immediately went quiet and did not cry anymore.
Gu Tianchao just stood at the side and did not know what to say.
Gu Xietian glared at him and scolded, "Why did you grab the rope like that just now? You have caused your sister to fall from such a high point!"
Gu Tianchao could not complain about anything, his handsome face turned red, "I... I did not mean it..."
Gu Xietian ignored him and now attended to Gu Xijiu who already stood up from the fall.
As she had Leng Xiangyu as her cushion pad, she did not get hurt. She just looked messy.
She was leaning on a tree in the courtyard quietly watching the scene unfold. No one could tell what was in her mind.
"Xijiu, are you okay?" Gu Xietian walked over and wanted to hold her little hand to check her vein.
Gu Xijiu slightly avoided his hand and spoke softly, "I feel lucky."
Gu Xietian was stunned, "My Xijiu has good fortune and will be fine..." Then, he stared at Gu Tianchao and said, "Come and apologize to your sister!"
Gu Tianchao hesitated but had to come over to apologize. He called her good sister and spoke a few sentences which explained that he did not intend to do that and asked for her forgiveness.
Gu Xijiu stood quietly and silently waited for him to finish. After he finished, she smiled lightly and said, "At least now I know that the Second Young Master did not do that intentionally. Fortunately, I had Aunty Leng as my cushion pad. Otherwise, I am afraid that I would no longer be standing here talking with Second Young Master. I would not be able to listen to your apology."
Gu Tianchao remained silent. He wondered why this girl had such a sharp tongue now. However, he could not fight back. His face was getting red again.
Gu Xijiu turned around and stared at Leng Xiangyu who was still sitting on the floor. She said, "Aunty Leng, are you okay?"
Leng Xiangyu had never encountered such an embarrassing moment in many years. However, it was a mistake caused by her son so she could not blame anyone. She could only bear with it.
Apparently, the knock was quite heavy that both her head and chest were in pain. She looked at her son and worried that he would feel guilty, so she did not dare to tell anyone that she was not okay.
She could barely stand up even with the help of her maids and when Gu Xijiu asked about her condition she forced a smile and pretended to be generous saying, "I am okay as long as you are okay."
Chapter 100: This Is The Present That You Prepared For Xijiu?

Gu Xijiu flicked her hair and smiled, "Of course I am fine. I am a lucky person, and I believe God is blessing me to be safe at critical times. Aunty, do you agree with me?"
Leng Xiangyu remained silent. She was angry, but there was nothing that she could do. Gu Xijiu was innocent. She could only agree, "Yes... Yes... Xijiu is a lucky kid..."
However, Gu Tianchao had some doubts. He felt that the fall was a bit intentional. He had tried his best to catch Gu Xijiu. However, she managed to dodge him, and he did not even touch a single strand of her hair. Was that all by chance?
While having these thoughts in his mind, he grabbed Gu Xijiu's wrist and said, "Xijiu, I am sorry. Let me see if you are injured."
It looked like he was checking her injury but he was secretly analyzing her spiritual power. He then put her wrist down. Gu Xijiu had a weak physique, and there was no spiritual power in her.
Gu Xijiu looked at her and smiled, "Second Young Master, did you manage to figure out anything?"
"Nothing. Xijiu is blessed that there is no injury." Gu Tianchao responded.
Leng Xiangyu endured the pain and went back to her bedroom to change her clothes.
Gu Xietian wanted to put everything behind him, so he said, "Luckily everything is fine. Since Tianchao is back, we should have a family gathering. Xijiu, you must join us. In the past you, were thrilled when your brother came back home, right? Tianchao also prepared a present for you. He has always cared about you. Tianchao, what did you buy for your sister? Quickly take it out for her."
Gu Tianchao paused, "I..."
"Why? Quickly take it out." Gu Xietian repeated himself.
There was a storage bag in Gu Tianchao's sleeve. It was not big, but it could store many things. All the presents he brought back were taken from this storage bag. Gu Tianchao could not reject and had to take out the present he prepared for Gu Xijiu.
A silver hairpin.
It was an ordinary silver hairpin that looked poorly made. It was patternless and could be found at any ordinary market for two dollars. Almost every woman in the Feixing Kingdom had this kind of hairpin.
Gu Xietian's face showed that he was disappointed.
"This is the present that you prepared for Xijiu? Our servants have better quality hairpins!" Gu Xietian always thought that his son had treated Xijiu very well, but now the truth was out.
Gu Tianchao secretly cursed in his heart, "Why do people even care about this ugly girl?"
Every present that he gave her was like a big blessing for her, and she was always grateful for it. So, even if he prepared her a useless present, it was considered a blessing to her already.
He had thought that this silver hairpin was enough to let this girl thank him gratefully, but he never expected that everything had changed this time.
