Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 2094 - 2098: Did He Get Exposed So Soon?

Upon being scolded, Ye Xingbei’s heart felt sweet.

She hooked onto Gu Junzhu’s arm, pressed her lips together and smiled, "Alright, sometimes you do say something serious!"

Gu Junzhu ruffled her hair, "Okay, stop being silly and watch your step."

Ye Xingbei: "..."

Being told "stop being silly" by the silliest one, what a feeling!

A few of them went into the living room and took their seats first.

Ho Yumeng sat upright, looking at everyone with a bit of guilt on her face: "First of all, I must apologize to everyone. When I signed the contract back then, I hid my true identity..."

She clenched her fists: "Actually... My name is not Ho Yumeng, it’s Lin Yumeng."

Ye Xingbei glanced at Gu Junzhu.

Gu Junzhu held her hand, gently squeezed it, and looked at Ho Yumeng: "We already know."

"You... you know?" Ho Yumeng looked at him in surprise.

"Yes," Gu Junzhu said, "The Gu Family isn’t a place just anyone can enter. Before the contract, your background was investigated, and only people with no problematic history can join the Gu Family."

Ho Yumeng: "...So that’s how it is... Then, you won’t blame me, right?"

"The Gu Family selects people based on their ability and character," Gu Junzhu said, "As long as you’re capable and your character is good, the Gu Family doesn’t care about your background."

Ho Yumeng hiding her identity was equivalent to hiding her sorrowful past.

The Gu Family looks for talent, focusing on skills and integrity, without prying into personal matters.

"I see..." Ho Yumeng smiled gratefully at him, "Fifth Master, thank you, and thank the Gu Family for supporting me all these years. Whether I’m Ho Yumeng or Lin Yumeng, the contract with the Gu Family remains valid. I’m the Gu Family’s family doctor for fifty years, that won’t change."

Qiao Zui glanced at Fang Yao and smiled meaningfully, "That’s not necessarily..." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Soon enough, Dr. Ho might become Mrs. Fang.

If that happens, that’s quite a big change.

Ho Yumeng didn’t get Qiao Zui’s implication, thinking he doubted her sincerity, and said anxiously, "I’m sincere! During my toughest times, it was the Gu Group that supported me. Without the Gu Group, I wouldn’t be who I am today. Whether I’m Ho Yumeng or Lin Yumeng, I’ll never forget the Gu Group’s kindness."

"Mengmeng, don’t get worked up," Ye Xingbei hurriedly comforted her, "Ah Zui just likes to joke, he’s teasing you."

"Yes," Fang Yao added, "Ignore him, he’s been a jerk for a long time."

Qiao Zui rolled his eyes and covered his mouth with his hand so Ho Yumeng wouldn’t see, mouthing to Fang Yao, "Choosing beauty over friends."

Fang Yao: "..."

Has he been exposed this quickly?

Ye Xingbei asked Ho Yumeng, "Mengmeng, are you telling us about your background now because you want to reunite with your parents?"

"Yes..." Ho Yumeng nodded lightly, "Actually, my parents love me very much... They..."

Before she could finish speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice choked up.

Ye Xingbei got up and sat beside her, gently patting her shoulder.

Ho Yumeng wiped her tears, looked at her, and smiled bashfully.

Seeing the delicate and tear-streaked Ho Yumeng, who was extremely endearing, she suddenly thought of the conversation she just had with Gu Junzhu and Qiao Zui... Once Ho Yumeng acknowledges her roots, when Jian Ruzhou and Jian Ruzhou’s mother find out Ho Yumeng is actually a granddaughter of the Lin Family, how will they react?

Just like Qiao Zui said, there’ll be a good show to watch.
