Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

Chapter 48: Acquisition

Gu Xiqiao sauntered over slowly, glancing at Mu Zong that had been grabbed by the bodyguards. “Let him go.”

Her tone wasn’t respectful in the least, and Yin Shaoyuan hadn’t even had the chance to talk before another voice spoke up.

“Are you blind or are you dumb? Don’t you know there are some things that you can’t stick your nose into?” A young man with closely cropped hair shouted as he stared Gu Xiqiao down with a sneer. He was quite taken by Gu Xiqiao’s beauty at first too, but there seemed to be something wrong with her…

Gu Xiqiao glanced over at him disinterestedly before her rosy lips curled. “Is this your house? I don’t need your permission to stand here, so buzz off!”

The female star had been clinging onto Yin Shaoyuan’s arm, but the latter had shaken her arm off the moment Gu Xiqiao came onto the scene, causing warning bells to go off in her mind. “Zhou Hui, what are you waiting for? Take away this crazy woman too!”

No one dared to defy Yin Shaoyuan’s new favored pet, and Zhou Hui nodded and waved the bodyguards over. “Sorry about this, but you can only blame your bad luck!”

Yin Shaoyuan wanted to stop them, but he suddenly remembered Jiang Shuxuan’s statement that ten of him couldn’t beat her…

He wanted to see how true that statement was!

That being said, he still prepared himself to help out Gu Xiqiao if she couldn’t deal with the bodyguards. These were all professionals after all, and even as he made the choice to have them test her out, he was still a little unsure about it…

Gu Xiqiao’s brows furrowed slightly before she threw her phone into the air, her hands forming a seal before she moved through the bodyguards, tapping at their shoulders as she did and causing them to drop unconscious to the ground.

Before the battle started, it had already ended!

If it weren’t for the fact that this scene unfolded in front of them, none of the onlookers would have believed that this sort of thing would happen in real life!

Gu Xiqiao returned to her original position, before catching the phone that dropped down into her hand. “Having fun?”

“What?” Yin Shaoyuan replied subconsciously, still shell-shocked from the scene that unfolded in front of him.

Different from the regular person, he could feel the energy pulsing off of her endlessly, making chills run up his spine from the sheer degree of power emanating from her.

“I asked if you were having fun. Should I make you some popcorn?” Gu Xiqiao asked, her gaze gleaming threateningly. “Or do you want to get some first-hand experience?”

“No no, I wouldn’t dare…” Yin Shaoyuan clasped her hands together apologetically. “Have you eaten? Well, it’s quite late now too, why don’t I send you back to the mansion?”

“No need, just let him go.” Gu Xiqiao pointed at Mu Zong.

“If I knew you were acquainted, I wouldn’t have the guts to do this to him!” Yin Shaoyuan smiled awkwardly. Ever since the series of events surrounding the Gu family went down, his perception of her had changed from how it was initially. According to his investigations, the Gu family didn’t treat Gu Xiqiao well after they took her in, but that was normal for an illegitimate child, in any case.

They had held a banquet on the day they took her back to Gu Manor, letting everyone know about her and turning her into the laughing stock of the town. According to his investigations, Gu Xiqiao had been reportedly gloomy and introverted, which was completely different from her temperament in the past few days.
