Defrosting The Cold Young Master - Chapter 597

Chapter 597: Chapter 600 Endure Humiliation and Shoulder Heavy Load

Gu Junzhu frowned, “Do you hold a grudge against the Xiang Family?”

Yue Yaer was taken aback, “How… How did you find out?”

“Isn’t it already pretty obvious?” Gu Junzhu smirked, “If the Xiang Family held any favor to you, you could’ve directly sought them to repay their kindness. Why bother signing a lengthy contract with the Gu Family? You must have heard about our relationship with the Xiang Family, knowing that by staying here, you’ll have the opportunity to get closer to them, making your revenge easier. That’s why you grit your teeth and put up with everything, signing a fifty-year contract with us, right?”

“I wouldn’t exactly call it gritting my teeth,” Yue Yaer said, “My grandfather was a doctor his whole life, saving countless lives. Yet, he ended up dying in bitterness. As for me, I have no interest in medicine, and my livelihood depends solely on the medical skills I learned from my grandfather. While I don’t want to be a doctor, I have to eat and survive. Choosing to be a private family doctor is currently my best option. Plus, Fifth Master, you have been very generous, and Beibei and I have gotten along very well. In the few days I have been staying with the Gu Family, I’ve been living quietly, happily.”

Stopping here, she chuckled, “But, Xiao Chi reached out and gave me a fifty-year contract, that really shocked me. Fifty years, this isn’t a contract, it’s a slavery contract. I even doubt, can I still live after fifty years? It feels like I’ve sold my entire life to the Gu Family.”

“I demanded a sky-high price, hoping to shorten the contract period, but Xiao Chi agreed without batting an eye. I was stuck in a dilemma, so I had no choice but to agree.”

Gu Junzhu said, “Because you want revenge, you need a stepping stone like the Gu Family. Maybe in the future, you won’t get such a good opportunity, so you didn’t want to give up this chance.”

Yue Yaer nodded, “Yes, that’s exactly what I was thinking. No pain, no gain. As long as staying at the Gu Family helps my revenge, I wouldn’t mind working for the Gu Family for the rest of my life!”

Gu Junzhu chuckled, “So… what exactly is the grudge between you and the Xiang Family?”

“A vendetta for my mother’s murder!” As she uttered these four words, Yue Yaer’s tone turned icy cold, and her originally warm and dazzling eyes emitted a cold yet sharp light.

“Who from the Xiang Family killed your mother?” Gu Junzhu said, “Remember, you are now a part of the Gu Family. If the Xiang Family really is at fault, not only will I not blame you for signing a contract with us with ulterior motives, but I’ll also help you.”

Having reached this point in the conversation, there was no longer a need to hide anything.

Thinking of her mother, who’d died tragically with an unborn child, Yue Yaer’s heart ached, and she clenched her fists tightly by her side.

She lowered her eyes, hiding her tears, “My grandfather was the family doctor of the Xiang Family. My mother was my grandfather’s student. One day, Jii Chunjue, Xiang Xiongyi’s son-in-law, got severely drunk and started vomiting. The servants were worried about him and asked my grandfather to check on Jii Chunjue.”

“My grandfather was not feeling well that day and had gone to bed early. My father was not at home. My mother answered the phone, worried about my grandfather, she didn’t want the old man to travel back and forth late in the night for a drunkard.”

“It was just a drunk man, my mother could handle it, so she rushed over.”

“At that time, my mother was already five months pregnant,” Yue Yaer’s voice trembled, tears rolling down from her eyes, “No one could’ve imagined that the beast, Jii Chunjue, would defile my mother. My mother was literally fucked to death by him on that bed…”

Gu Junzhu frowned, “Why didn’t anyone call the police?”
