Chapter 1476: Chapter 1480: This, is Love!
They were afraid that after their deaths, Yu Mo would divide the inheritance, and the small villa would end up under her daughter’s name.
After her son-in-law went bankrupt, all the family’s assets were forcibly seized and given to the bank.
Now, their family was so poor it rang hollow—they had nothing, and they even owed high-interest loans to the bank.
They had borrowed from everyone they possibly could; Yu Mo was their only option left.
But Yu Mo had vanished as if into thin air. No matter how hard they searched, they couldn’t find him.
Left with no other choice, she begged a group of people to help corner Yu Mo and even had her husband fake an illness.
They truly couldn’t go on living this way.
The loan sharks warned that if her daughter and son-in-law didn’t repay the money soon, they would break one of her daughter’s and son-in-law’s arms.
Her whole family lived like rats, hiding and running, consumed with fear.
They had borrowed from all their relatives and friends, but the sum was too large; no matter what, they couldn’t gather enough.
Yu Mo was their last hope.
She never imagined that Yu Mo could be this heartless. She even knelt down before others, yet Yu Mo still didn’t show up.
She hated Yu Mo’s cruelty and regretted her past indifference toward him.
If she had known that Yu Mo would turn out so competent, she would have treated him better back then.
When her daughter insisted on testifying in court against Yu Mo on behalf of her son-in-law, she should have stopped her no matter what.
But who could foresee the future?
Now, no matter what she said, it was too late…
Father Yu and Yu Hua felt the same as she did.
In the past, they had been a loving family, with Yu Mo being the only outsider.
Now, they were all grasshoppers tied to the same rope, none of them could escape…

After dealing with the Yu family members in front of the hall, Ye Xingbei turned and walked toward the interior.
Just as she reached the middle of the grand hall, the doors of the executive elevator made a soft “ding” and slid open to both sides. Gu Junzhu walked out, accompanied by a few others.
At the sight of Gu Junzhu, Ye Xingbei fixed her gaze on his face, her steps halting involuntarily.
Although they’d only been apart for a few hours, for some reason, it felt like she hadn’t seen him in forever.
Longing spread like wild grass, growing uncontrollably in her heart.
She felt she could simply stare at him like this forever.
Doing nothing, just quietly gazing at him was enough.
Gu Junzhu walked up to her, wrapped an arm around her slender waist, pulled her into his arms, and chuckled as he noticed her dazed expression, “Why are you staring at me like that? Don’t recognize me anymore?”
Ye Xingbei mustered every ounce of her self-control to stop herself from throwing herself into his embrace, wrapping her arms around his neck, and kissing him with all her might.
It was just… there were too many people!
She lowered her head and obediently let Gu Junzhu lead her into the elevator.
The elevator doors closed.
For some reason, the people who had been following Gu Junzhu didn’t get into the elevator.
Inside the elevator, it was just her and Gu Junzhu.
Gu Junzhu glanced down and smiled at her.
She raised her arms, hooked them around Gu Junzhu’s neck, and kissed him fiercely.
Gu Junzhu was stunned for a moment but quickly caught on, wrapping his arms tightly around her and kissing her even more passionately.
Inside the elevator, they embraced, their movements intense and intimate.
Ye Xingbei clung to Gu Junzhu’s neck, her entire body practically hanging onto his. Her body pressed so completely against him that Gu Junzhu couldn’t resist exploring the soft curves of her silhouette, tracing her alluring shape with increasing fervor.
Ye Xingbei poured every ounce of strength into holding him tightly, as if she wanted to fuse her body with his.
In that moment, what was left for her to misunderstand?
She had fallen in love with Gu Junzhu.
Yes.
It was love.
It was romance.
Not familial affection.
Not friendship.
Not habit.
But love.
The kind of legendary love that’s fiery, life-and-death entwined, utterly maddening… love.
