With Love, To You

Chapter 5: Double Face-Slapping

Just as he turned to leave, Zesu found himself face-to-face with two tall bodyguards.

The bodyguards had been instructed by Mr. Ye when he took Sevenian Yun to offer a toast. After all, dealing with just Yuanlin wasn't enough—she needed to make a double impact to prove her loyalty to Jingcheng Gu.

Sevenian Yun smiled sweetly. "Grandpa is right; we must investigate thoroughly! I also believe Aunt Lin isn't the type to do drugs, especially not at Grandpa's birthday banquet, right?"

Her words seemed to exonerate Yuanlin, but in reality, they firmly cemented the drug accusation against her.

Qian Yu's face turned red with anger.

Sevenian Yun turned to the police officers. "Please, officers, thoroughly search everyone here. Make sure not to leave anyone out."

The police nodded. With the situation at this level, cooperation was unavoidable. Consequently, almost everyone consented to the search.

Zesu, hiding in the corner, broke out in a cold sweat, especially with two tall bodyguards watching him, leaving no chance to escape.

As he nervously considered discarding what was in his pocket, Sevenian Yun's voice suddenly called out.

"Hey, Brother Zesu, what are you doing here?"

Zesu's pupils dilated. He looked up to see Sevenian Yun walking toward him. As she moved, everyone's eyes followed.

Thanks to Sevenian Yun's previous brash behavior, many present recognized Zesu.

"Zesu? What's he doing here?"

"A butler's son shouldn't be at this kind of event, right?"

Zesu's face turned pale, sweat soaking his shirt.

He forced a smile. "Nian, didn’t you ask me to come here to celebrate Mr. Ye's birthday?"

Sevenian Yun blinked innocently. "No, I know Grandpa and Dad don't like you. Why would I invite you here?"

She paused, her eyes suddenly fixing on Zesu's pocket.

"Oh, what's that?"

Everyone followed her gaze to see a corner of a transparent bag sticking out of Zesu's trouser pocket.

Zesu panicked, quickly shoving the bag deeper into his pocket, his smile strained.

"It's nothing."

Sevenian Yun blinked adorably. "I don't believe you. Oh, I know! Since you're here to celebrate Grandpa's birthday, that must be a gift! Let me see what it is!"

Quick as a flash, Sevenian Yun lunged forward and snatched the item from Zesu's pocket.

"No!"

As Zesu clutched his pocket, the bag tore, spilling white powder onto the floor.

Everyone was stunned.

Zesu's face turned ashen, and Sevenian Yun seemed shocked, taking a step back. After a moment, she covered her mouth in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Brother Zesu, it was you... it was you!!!"

Zesu: "..."

"I didn't, it's not what you think, don't say that..."

"You still want to lie! If you weren't trying to harm Aunt Lin, why are you here uninvited at Grandpa's birthday banquet? I used to trust you so much. Aunt Lin is someone I respect the most, and you dare to harm her. I'll never trust you again. I want to cut all ties with you!

Officers, take him away! Don't show him any leniency because of our family! I never want to see him again!"

Sevenian Yun shed a few fake tears as she spoke.

Everyone was moved by her righteousness.

The outside world often said that while the eldest daughter of the Yun family was talented, she was also capricious and unreasonable. But now, she seemed completely different!

So selfless—she used to like Zesu so much that she even disregarded Mr. Gu, yet now she was willing to let the police take him away without leveraging her family's influence.

She had cut off Zesu's last escape route!

Everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for Sevenian Yun.

Not far away, Jingcheng Gu couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Others might not see through Sevenian Yun's act, but he did. Reflecting on her unusual behavior all day, Jingcheng Gu's eyes deepened.

Zesu was extremely flustered.

"Sevenian Yun, what nonsense are you spouting? This stuff isn't mine! I don't know how it ended up on me! And didn't you ask me to come today to elope with you? When did it become me coming on my own?"

"Elope?"

Sevenian Yun sneered and quickly walked over to Jingcheng Gu, hugging his arm.

"Zesu, listen up. I was blind before, mistaking a pebble for a pearl and liking you. Now my eyes are healed! My husband is handsome, rich, and treats me well. If I were to elope, it would be with him, not someone like you! Stop dreaming of things beyond your reach. If you dare bother me again, I'll have my husband deal with you!"

She looked up at Jingcheng Gu with a fawning expression. "Husband, right?"

Jingcheng Gu's deep eyes stared into her, as if trying to see into her soul.

After a moment, he lightly said, "Yes."

He looked at Zesu as if he were a dead man.

"Take him away. From now on, he's not allowed within a kilometer of my wife."

"Yes, sir."

Zesu wanted to say more, but two bodyguards covered his mouth and dragged him away.

Everyone was stunned.

After a while, the police officers recovered, hastily gathering evidence and chasing after Zesu.

Only when they were finished and had left, and Yuanlin had been taken away, did Mr. Ye announce the resumption of the banquet.

The lavish hall returned to its festive atmosphere.

Sevenian Yun followed Jingcheng Gu back to their residence. As soon as they entered, she was pressed heavily against the door.

The man's eyes were deep, his lips pressed tight, and his black eyes, like deep, cold pools, stared into her.

"Sevenian Yun, what game are you playing?"

Sevenian Yun hesitated.

Feeling a bit wronged, she wriggled. "Husband, you're being too harsh. Can you be gentler?"
