Xia Yangyang felt particularly dumbfounded and had no desire to argue with Gong Xue’er. She coolly said, “Let’s go, we can’t get in anyways.”

However, the taxi had already left, so they had to walk out to hail a cab.

Gong Xue’er was extremely annoyed. The invitation was indeed a forgery – she had taken a picture of Lin Yuanyuan’s invitation while she was not paying attention and had a fake one made.

Originally, she thought she could easily slip in, but she did not expect to be exposed so easily, especially in front of Xia Yangyang.

Xia Yangyang wanted to leave, but Gong Xue’er was unwilling. She stated, “I forged the invitation for the club. Now that we’re here, we can’t go back empty-handed. I must get in.”

Xia Yangyang retorted, “Without an invitation, how do you plan to get in?”

Gong Xue’er pointed at a tall tree at the corner of the perimeter wall and said, “We can climb over it.”

Xia Yangyang exclaimed, “Are you crazy? There are surveillance cameras here, and what if we get caught?”

Nevertheless, Gong Xue’er insisted, “I’ve checked it out. The tree is thick with leaves; it’s outside the surveillance coverage. I must see Gu Qichen today, Xia Yangyang, do not ruin it for me.”

Xia Yangyang asked, “Aren’t you pregnant? How can you climb such a high tree?”

Gong Xue’er paused at her words, then replied, “That’s why you need to help me. If I fall and hurt the child of mine and Haotian’s, you wouldn’t want Haotian to hate you for life, would you?”

After speaking, Gong Xue’er had already walked to the corner and started climbing the tree.

Xia Yangyang initially wanted to forget about it and leave, but tree-climbing posed certain risks even to ordinary people, let alone a pregnant woman.

Although she was reluctant, she did not want Gong Xue’er to encounter an accident here.

Moreover, she knew Gong Xue’er was always stubborn and determined, vowing never to stop till she reached her goal.

So, Xia Yangyang went over directly and climbed onto the branches in just a few moves.

Having learned taekwondo since she was a child, her agility was natural. For her, tree climbing was a piece of cake.

Then Xia Yangyang pulled Gong Xue’er up and proceeded to climb over the wall. She planned to catch Gong Xue’er as she jumped over.

Just as she jumped down, she heard a dog barking and rushing towards her.

Staring back at her was a huge golden retriever that knocked her down before she could even get to her feet. However, it did not bite her; it just kept licking her face with its tongue.

Their plan was ruined by a dog.

Soon, a group of black suited bodyguards appeared and surrounded them.

Gong Xue’er, left stranded in the tree, was also brought down by the security personnel.

The corner of the mansion was bustling with chaos. The bodyguards contacted the house manager of Gu’s mansion, who quickly arrived and was discussing with the security chief how to deal with the two intruders.

Just then, Xia Yangyang heard a man’s voice calling her name.

She turned to look and was stunned to see Gu Zhaohan.

Gu Zhaohan looked quite different than usual, surprisingly wearing a suit. His hair was neatly styled making him look even more handsome than before.

He emerged from the shadows, walking towards her like a prince straight out of a fairy tale.

Upon seeing Gu Zhaohan, the house manager respectfully greeted, “Young Master Han.”

Young Master Han?

Both Xia Yangyang and Gong Xue’er were in shock.

Though Gu Zhaohan bore the surname ‘Gu’ and was a prominent figure at A University, no one ever thought that he would be related to the wealthy Gu Family of Nan City.

As media reports put it, Gu Shengyuan has a son and a daughter. His son, Gu Qichen, is a late-born child while his daughter, Gu Mingzhu, is 17 years older than Gu Qichen. Gu Mingzhu has a son who has never been exposed to the media; purportedly, he has been studying abroad all the time.

Now that the house manager referred to Gu Zhaohan as “Young Master”, he must be Gu Mingzhu’s son, Gu Shengyuan’s grandson – the sole third generation successor of the Gu Family.

It was then that Xia Yangyang had an epiphany. No wonder she felt a sense of familiarity when she first saw Gu Zhaohan.

As it turned out, Gu Zhaohan resembled Gu Qichen a bit, especially around the eyes..
