Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

Chapter 184: A Bunch Of Police Officers Outside

Hua Youlin was led to walk step by step by Gu Xiqiao, the warmth their joined hands gradually thawed the ice that had built up in his heart, calming him down.

It was like there was nothing to fear, as long as she was there with him.

And she didn’t ask him anything, not a single word.

Hua Youlin couldn’t help but tighten the grip he had on her hand.

Gu Xiqiao spared him a glance, and then realized something. This child really must be a tsundere.

There was a courtyard in front for them, and Yao Jiamu was already waiting for them the moment he got word that Gu Xiqiao had arrived. He grinned when she appeared in his line of sight, waving. “Boss Bai is waiting in the back room, go on ahead!”

Although he had recognized Boss Bai as his godfather, he was still calling him ‘Boss Bai’ all day long, not changing the way he addressed him at all.

Boss Bai wasn’t concerned by it either, since he was used to being called ‘Boss Bai’ anyway. Being called ‘father’ would be too elegant, and he wouldn’t stand for it, it would be even worse if he was called ‘godfather’ too.

Ever since Gu Xiqiao had cured Boss Bai in that one fell swoop, he had not seen her in person again. Later on, he received a message from Gu Xiqiao to cut off all goods supplied to the Bai family. At that time, Boss Bai felt that Gu Xiqiao was extremely bold, blatantly challenging the Bai family like that, but he didn’t hesitate to follow her instructions.

Although he was a little anxious in the beginning, it was the Bai family after all, how many people can challenge the Bai family and come out alive in the Imperial Capital?

However, seeing Yao Jiamu’s calm look, he was beyond curious, how much confidence did Yao Jiamu have in Gu Xiqiao?

Up till the day when news of the Bai family going bankrupt, and that many of their members had been punished. He was stunned for a long time. How did the Bai family go bankrupt? Were they really destroyed by a girl who was less than twenty? While the outside world was in an uproar, he was also in an unstable state.

As he was once a member of the Bai family, he knew more than anyone, that the most terrifying part of the Bai family was not politics or business, but a mysterious force that even he feared.

But Gu Xiqiao managed to overthrow them without so much as a blink? Needless to say, from that moment on, he had a new understanding of just how strong Gu Xiqiao was.

Not only did she possess the supernatural powers needed to cure his ‘illness’ back then, her methods were also extremely meticulous, covering every corner. Boss Bai felt that she wasn’t any regular being.

“Miss Gu, come and take a look, these are the things that I’ve gotten people to bring over.” Boss Bai waved his hands, signaling for the people to carry out the boxes upon boxes that held antiques in them to the yard for Gu Xiqiao to see.

The yard was full of people who were from the Bai gang, training. All of them were strong in terms of strength, bulky with muscle and they look very intimidating.

Gu Xiqiao glanced at them, then slowly walked toward the antiques. They seem to be all top-grade items, and her slender white fingers grazed and examined the items inside. Suddenly, her finger moved, and a golden tortoise glowing with a cold light was unearthed. She turned to Hua Youlin, narrowing her eyes as she said, “Do you like it?”

“No!” Hua Youline shook his head immediately, with one look you could tell it looked like some gaudy thing that rich people wore, why the heck would he like it?!
