You Were Born Before I Was Born Chapter 224 Two Confrontations

When Beitang Yujian entered, he saw Tang Leyan holding Chu Gexing's hand: "Come with me."

Chu Gexing nodded silently and said to Chu Zhen, "Uncle Zhen, I'll be right back."

Tang Leyan didn't even glance at Chu Zhen. She grabbed Chu Gexing and headed for the door, her expression one of exasperation.

Beitang Yujian stood by the door, feeling as if he had used the legendary invisibility herb, making him invisible to everyone.

He looked at his reflection with self-pity and deep sorrow.

Fortunately, there was Chu Zhen.

After watching the two leave, Chu Zhen's gaze fell on Beitang Yujian, and he greeted him warmly, "Yujian, why don't you come in?"

Beitang Yujian sighed, "I thought everyone was blind to me, and I was still in shock and sadness..."

Chu Zhen smiled and said, "What are you saying? Come, come and have some tea."

Beitang Yujian then stepped inside: "Where did those two go? Why were they in such a hurry? It seems like something unusual happened."

"It's just a quarrel between young lovers, don't worry, they'll be fine in no time," Chu Zhen said.

Beitang Yujian's eyes darted around: "A little...couple?" He uttered these three words with interest, looking at Chu Zhen.

Chu Zhen smiled: "What, Yu Jian, do you have any thoughts?"

Beitang Yujian shook his head: "But I want to ask you, sir, ...when did those two become a couple?"

"Isn't that so?" Chu Zhen asked in surprise. "Ge Xing knew Le Yan from the very beginning when she came to Shundu. Presumably, their affair started long before Le Yan came to Shundu, though I don't know the specifics." He pondered.

"Then may I ask, sir... who told you that the two of them... had that kind of relationship?" Beitang Yujian asked again.

Chu Zhen said, "It's a song. +++ First Release +++"

"Ahhh." Beitang Yujian's expression turned strange: "Chu Gexing..."

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Chu Zhen asked casually, not paying much attention.

“It’s nothing.” Beitang Yujian slowly shook his head. “I was just thinking that this nephew of yours is really…” He paused, as if trying to think of the right words to describe him.

"Um?"

"That's quite something," Beitang Yujian said with a smile.

Chu Zhen laughed heartily: "Yes, yes, come on. Have some tea."

"Let's drink tea and talk less about other things." Beitang Yujian also raised his teacup and smiled.

"What did you say to Chu Zhen?" In a side room not far from the living room, Tang Leyan closed the door and turned to ask.

Chu Gexing looked at her: "What do you mean? I don't understand."

"What did you mean by that scene you just did?" Tang Leyan glared at him. "Chu Gexing, you'd better explain yourself clearly."

"Am I acting? Why don't I know it myself?" Chu Gexing said.

Tang Leyan stepped forward: "Don't play dumb! You've always been my sworn enemy, but tonight you deliberately acted like that in front of others..." She turned her head away, swallowing the rest of her words bitterly, "What are you plotting?"

"Make that kind of thing? I don't understand," Chu Gexing said calmly.

This person has always been so wicked; he won't listen to a single word that's not in his favor, yet he can always find a single sentence that can shut someone down.

Tang Leyan turned her head back and glared at him: "Chu Gexing!"

"If you're referring to my performance tonight in general, I can only tell you that everything I did was natural."

"Naturally?" Tang Leyan frowned, as if she had heard a strange joke, and laughed heartily.

Chu Gexing looked at her and smiled gently. He said slowly, "Yes. Of course, I was injured. Your concern was so obvious, it's only natural that I would be moved and unable to control myself for a moment, don't you think?"

Tang Leyan's smile vanished, replaced by a furious rage. "What did you say?!"

Chu Gexing said leisurely, "In the end, you were the one who provoked me first. If you weren't so good to me, why would I..."

"Chu Gexing, do you really have to be so despicable!" Tang Leyan couldn't help but shout.

"I'm telling the truth. Any man who doesn't react to that situation would be abnormal."

"Shut up! I didn't!"

“…Well,” he looked at her, a smile in his eyes, “okay, then let’s say I misunderstood you, shall we?”

Tang Leyan was stunned.

misunderstanding.

Is that all it takes to sweep everything away?

A moment later.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" she asked, quickly regaining her composure.

Chu Gexing looked at her without saying a word.

She gathered her jumbled thoughts and quickly asked, "What does Chu Zhen mean when he says he already knew about what happened between you and me?"

Chu Gexing smiled faintly.

Tang Leyan reached out and grabbed his collar: "Explain yourself!"

“Okay, I don’t want to hide it from you either,” Chu Gexing said frankly, letting her hold him without struggling. “After you joined Shun, Chu Zhen asked me about your background. Of course, I couldn’t tell him, but he realized that we had known each other for a long time, so he asked me. I had no choice but to admit it… It was all his misunderstanding. I just went along with it and didn’t deny it.”

"What misunderstanding?" Tang Leyan asked hurriedly.

“You and I are a couple,” he replied.

Tang Leyan was startled.

"How...could this be?" She abruptly released her grip on his collar, took a step back, and asked again, still unwilling to believe it, "So, all along, he thought...he thought that all along?"

"yes."

Why don't you explain?!

"At that time, we were in a dilemma."

"You're clearly doing this on purpose to make him misunderstand, aren't you?"

"Tang Leyan," he called softly.

"Chu Gexing!" she roared.

They both fell silent, staring at each other. She was furious, wishing she could slap the culprit in front of her to death. He looked at her helplessly, then suddenly turned and walked towards the door.

“Explain to him,” Tang Leyan suddenly said from behind.

"What?" Chu Gexing stopped in his tracks.

“Explain to Chu Zhen that there’s nothing between you and me,” she said.

Chu Ge Xing remained silent.

“You started all of this, and you have a responsibility to put an end to it,” she said. “I’ll talk to Chu Zhen about it tonight.”

“Do you think,” Chu Gexing lowered his eyes, “after what he witnessed tonight, he will still believe any explanation?”

Tang Leyan swayed; that scene… damn it.

Chu Gexing stepped forward, wanting to support her.

She reached out to stop him, as if avoiding a snake: "Don't come any closer."

Chu Gexing looked at her: "Leyan..."

“I don’t care,” she glared at him, her eyes cold, “I don’t care if he believes me or not, I don’t care what misunderstandings he might have, I’m going to make it clear to him that the person I love is him, not you!!!” She stared at him, dumbfounded.

You Were Born Before I Was Born Chapter 225: Disturbed Mind

The living room, where Tang Leyan recuperated, was filled with a strong medicinal aroma. The stove fire was too strong, and Beitang Yujian went to add charcoal and suppress the fire several times, but the fire only grew more intense. When you got close, it burned your face.

Although he had traveled extensively, he was still the young master of Wenshan Sword Pavilion. He had never done such things before, so he naturally didn't know how to control the fire. As a result, the living room became so warm that it made people sweat.

At first, the two of them drank tea and chatted, talking about trivial things, but later they began to feel a bit stuffy.

Outside, all was quiet. It was just nightfall, and the twilight was still thin, carrying a hint of loneliness. Inside the living room, the warm light flickered, and the laughter and chatter of the two people gradually subsided. Faintly, the sounds of an argument could be heard outside.

"Hey, it seems like those two are arguing." Beitang Yujian, with his sharp ears, listened intently and said with a smile.

Chu Zhen remained calm and said, "That's strange. Ge Xing has a very good temper. As far as I know, he never argues with anyone."

That's for sure.

Beitang Yujian thought to himself: Your nephew wouldn't waste time arguing with people; he usually just takes action.

But she said, "Really? But... judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem like the type to argue with people."

So pitiful, who could bear to argue with him? Of all the people he had ever met in this world, not even a chameleon could be as deceptive as Chu Gexing's appearance.

Chu Zhen, unaware of the hidden meaning in Beitang Yujian's words, couldn't help but smile and say, "Yujian, you think so too? Gexing is indeed quite good. If Leyan..."

Before he could finish speaking, he seemed to hear someone call out.

A very angry voice.

Because it was so quiet here, the sound actually came through.

Beitang Yujian raised an eyebrow.

Chu Zhen's expression changed slightly: "Hmm. This time it seems a bit unusual," then he asked Beitang Yujian, "Whose voice was that just now?"

Beitang Yujian thought for a moment: "It seems to be Leyan."

Chu Zhen thought for a moment: "Ge Xing can be quite stubborn sometimes. Especially... I'm worried he might lose his temper..."

Beitang Yujian glanced at him: "The master really cares about him a lot."

Chu Zhen said, "Of course. Ge Xing and Ge Xun lost their parents when they were young, so as their uncle, it's only natural that I take care of them."

Beitang Yujian nodded silently.

Chu Zhen was getting restless and said, "Where did that sound come from...? It didn't sound very far away."

Beitang Yujian glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong, sir? Are you worried?"

Chu Zhen said, "Yes. Although Ge Xing is usually very sensible, she can be childish sometimes, and Le Yan did look quite unwell when she left."

Beitang Yujian asked, "So, is Your Excellency going to act as a peacemaker? The voice I heard sounds like..."
