Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 738: Chapter 742: Fifth Lord of Gu Makes a Move

Gu Junzhu furrowed his brows, swiftly striding towards him.

Ye Xingbei was scared by his angry aura and hurriedly chased after him, grabbing onto his clothes: “Speak kindly to Xiao Qiao. Don’t get angry with him, Xiao Qiao is…”

“Smash!” The bottle in Qiao Zui’s hand fell to the ground, shattering, interrupting Ye Xingbei’s words.

Ignoring the sound of the broken bottle, Qiao Zui picked up another one, popped it open and started guzzling it down.@@novelbin@@

Gu Junzhu walked over to him, snatching the bottle out of his hand.

Qiao Zui’s body swayed, his knees weakening, and he started falling to the ground.

Seeing Qiao Zui on the verge of kneeling on the shards of glass, Ye Xingbei let out an alarmed cry. Gu Junzhu reached out, pulling him up and slapped him across the head, “Damn it! You’re acting like you want to ruin your already injured arm and now your legs too?”

Qiao Zui swayed slightly, leaning against the drinks cabinet. He looked towards Gu Junzhu, his eyes bloodshot, “Uncle, I don’t understand. Everything was fine just a moment ago. I asked you to take us to her house to discuss marriage with her parents, she was even happy about it. But after taking a shower, she suddenly said we are not suitable…”

“If she says you’re not suitable, then being drunk to death will make things right?” Gu Junzhu slapped him again, shifting the cold sweat from his palm onto Qiao Zui’s body, “Look at your worthlessness. In the future, don’t say you’re my nephew when you go out. It’s humiliating!”

“That’s enough out of you!” Ye Xingbei gave him a dirty look, propped up Qiao Zui’s uninjured arm, and guided him to sit on the sofa, “Since Xiao Mi was quite happy before her shower and then suddenly unhappy afterwards, did something happen while she was in the shower… Wait, in the shower?”

Ye Xingbei suddenly understood, coughing awkwardly a few times, “you…you and Xiao Mi…”

Qiao Zui opened his previously clenched fist, revealing the diamond ring he’d given Mi Sheng, which she’d then given back: “I proposed to her, she agreed. But after her bath, she took the ring off, returned it to me, and said she thinks we’re not suitable…”

“Idiot!” Gu Junzhu sneered disgustedly. He dialed Gu Qi’s number, switching it to speakerphone, then tossed the phone onto the coffee table, “Xiao Qi, look into Mi Sheng’s call history. In the past hour, who has she made contact with?”

Gu Qi gave an affirmative.

The phone didn’t hang up, and Ye Xingbei could hear typing in the background.

Soon, Gu Qi answered, “Young Master, 28 minutes ago, Miss Mi Sheng had two calls with her mother, Si Yun. The first one was called by Si Yun lasting for six minutes, the second one was called by Miss Mi Sheng, and lasted for five minutes.”

Gu Junzhu frowned, “Mi Sheng’s mother?”

“Yes,” replied Gu Qi, “In the past twelve hours, Mi Sheng has only been in contact with her mother.”

“Check Si Yun’s call history,” Gu Junzhu ordered, “Check Si Yun’s call history for the past twenty-four hours. See if she has been in contact with anyone from Feng City other than Mi Sheng.”

The sound of typing resounded again, and after a moment, Gu Qi answered, “Young Master, an hour ago, a user named Yi Xinning called Si Yun. Eighteen minutes after their call ended, Si Yun called Mi Sheng.”

“Yi Xinning?” Qiao Zui, who’d been burying his face in his hands, suddenly raised his head, “The mother of Fang Yixian?”
