Chapter 657: Why Did You Come Back Without The USB Drive?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yuexi watched as Xiaoze opened her bag roughly, not even having the patience to rummage through it.

He walked over to the sofa, flipped her bag upside down, and poured everything inside onto the sofa, until it was empty, and nothing else came out.

“Where’s the USB drive?” As Xiaoze spoke, he still held onto his bag, which swayed a few times with its opening facing down.

Nothing else came out. Xiaoze reached in to feel around again.

The space inside the bag wasn’t big, but he had searched all the corners. He really couldn’t find anything.

Xiaoze frowned and threw his bag onto the sofa. He turned to Yuexi and asked,

“Where’s the USB drive?”

“I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn’t use the USB drive. I put it away.” Yuexi made up an excuse.

She had planned to buy an identical USB drive when she came back, but she was afraid that Xiaoze would find out that it was different from the one she was carrying before. 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝𝕦𝕤𝕓.𝕔𝕠𝗆

Therefore, she planned to give him a perfunctory answer first, then go out and secretly buy one and put it somewhere.

If Xiaoze asked her again, she would take it out for him.

“It’s not with you? Why did you come back without the USB drive?” Xiaoze’s expression changed. How could he have a good attitude towards Yuexi?

He looked very threatening.

Yuexi took two or three steps back. Seeing Xiaoze’s reaction, she could not help but recall what Jiang Xun and Jixuan had said.

Even with the Jiang family being her backer now, the Gu family could even show her this kind of face.

Once the Jiang family was finished, how could the Gu family treat her well?

The Jiang family was not done for yet.

When Xiaoze was anxious, he could glare at her like this, as if he did not take her seriously.

If the Gu family knew that she had been chased out by the Jiang family, and Chengye would not interfere in her matters in the future…

Yuexi didn’t dare to think about it.

No one in the Gu family could know about this!

“Why are you treating me like this?” Yuexi said unhappily, trying to hide her nervousness. She was as stubborn as the little princess who was doted on by the Jiang family in the past.

Xiaoze was very unhappy. Yuexi was only thinking of displaying her willfulness as the daughter of the Jiang family.

“You didn’t use the USB drive. What about Chengye Group’s offer?” Xiaoze’s expression changed. “You didn’t get caught, did you?”

Yuexi tried to hide the panic in her eyes.

Fortunately, even though her acting skills were not that good among the group of capable actors, it was still possible to fool Xiaoze.

Xiaoze did not manage to catch that fleeting panic.

His heart was filled with Chengye Group’s offer. Could he use this opportunity to strike another blow at Chengye Group?

A single blow might not cause much damage to Chengye Group.

But what about two, three, or ten strikes?

It was only a matter of time before Chengye Group was worn away.

It was precisely because his mind was on this that Xiaoze missed the panic and guilt that flashed across Yuexi’s eyes.

Otherwise, with Xiaoze’s eyesight, he would have been able to tell.

“I memorized it.” Yuexi quickly said, “I was just afraid that they’ll find out. If they catch us red-handed, won’t the USB drive be the evidence?”

“So I didn’t bring the USB drive and went to look at the contents of the files on the computer.” Yuexi said, “My memory is pretty good. After all, I needed to memorize the script of ‘The Wrath of Dangya’ quickly, so it’s not a problem for me to memorize the important content in the document in a short time.”

“This way, even if someone came home halfway and see me, they wouldn’t have any evidence to prove what I wanted to do.” Yuexi said, “I thought it through before I decided to do this. You just didn’t see the USB drive and you’re already glaring at me.”

Yuexi pointed angrily at Xiaoze and shrieked, “You’re treating me like this now? You want to scold me before I finish speaking, right? What are you going to do if I don’t succeed? Break up with me?”

“I worked so hard and took such a big risk to scheme against my own family for you. The pressure is already great enough. I’ve sacrificed enough for you!” Yuexi said angrily, “How dare you treat me like this! Gu Xiaoze, you have no conscience!”

As Yuexi spoke, she went forward to beat Xiaoze up.

Xiaoze quickly grabbed her wrists so that she couldn’t hit her. He coaxed her nicely, “No, I didn’t mean that!”

“I was just anxious. I didn’t mean to blame you.” Xiaoze quickly defended himself. “Yuexi, I know you’ve sacrificed a lot for me. You’ve even schemed against your own family for me. I can see your feelings for me!”

“I’m very touched by your decision. And it made me even more determined that you are my partner for life. My heart will never change in this life.” Xiaoze coaxed her gently, “Besides, I’ll never find another woman who’s devoted to me like you are.”

“Yuexi, I know how good you are to me.” Xiaoze looked at Yuexi affectionately.

However, Yuexi did not seem to buy it. She shook off Xiaoze’s hand and said angrily, “You only changed your attitude towards me because you heard my offer.”

“Jixuan is right. Although Jiang Xun doesn’t get along with me, what she said makes sense.” Yuexi angrily pointed at Xiaoze and scolded him, “The Jiang family is still fine now, but you’re still giving me a hard time. I’ve disguised myself as a thief, so you have to give me some face. If I can’t do it, you won’t give me a good look and even scold me! If I really can’t succeed, will you treat me well?”

“I helped you to set Chengye Group up and make it suffer. It’ is gradually losing to the Gu family. Can you still treat me well?” Yuexi took the opportunity to ask.

Xiaoze rushed forward and grabbed her hand again. “Of course I’ll treat you well. I was just too anxious just now and lost my composure for a moment.

Yuexi, trust me.”

“Besides, I’m in such a hurry for our future. Only when this matter is done will my parents see your sincerity towards our family and truly accept you as family. Otherwise, even if they liked you before, they would only treat you as their daughter-in-law. After all, you’re the daughter of the Jiang family. No matter how close you are to us, you’ll definitely side with the Jiang family.”

“But this time, as long as you succeed, you can prove that you’ll definitely choose the Gu family over your own family when it comes to the interests of the Gu and Jiang families.” Xiaoze patiently coaxed her. “Then my parents will be completely at ease and treat you as a member of the Gu family, not a member of the Jiang family.”

“Yuexi, don’t you want to be with me?” Xiaoze said affectionately, “Let’s get the approval of the elders together. Think about it, my parents like you so much. In the future, when you marry into the family, you won’t have any conflicts with your in-laws at all..”
