The Head Of the Dongfang Family, Grandfather? 2

"Uncle, I'm tired."
Gu Ruoyun yawned as if she did not wish to hear whatever else Dongfang Shaoze was trying to say.
Dongfang Shaoze tried to continue but upon seeing Gu Ruoyun's tired pallor, he sighed, "Yun'er, someday you'll understand him... However, regardless what your relationship with the Dongfang Family is, you will always be my niece."
Gu Ruoyun only smiled and said nothing more. Her fresh and beautiful face now held a gentle light.
...
Moonlight shone through the gentle brush of willow trees.
The young girl was dressed in green robes that fluttered gently in the night breeze. She stood in front of the window, her thoughts unclear. A familiar presence appeared from behind her and her heart could not help but feel calmer.
"Xiao Ye, do you have relatives?"
Qianbei Ye wrinkled his brows and shook his head. Then he remembered that Gu Ruoyun might not have been able to see his actions and said, "I don't know, perhaps... Not."
"Xiao Ye, do you know that I am a person with a past life?" Gu Ruoyun raised her head and stared out at the moonlight, as if she was seeing the slaughter on that snow-capped mountain again, "In my past life, I had a kind grandfather, a wonderful mother, and an adorable little brother. But my father was the lowest of scums! Not only had he gone after my mother for the sake of obtaining the position of the Xia Family's Young Master; but on the very night that he had received my mother, he allowed his childhood lover to enter the household! If it weren't for my grandfather's favoritism towards my mother, I'm afraid... My mother would not have been able to continue living in the Xia Family home."
Qianbei Ye did not reply, he stared quietly back at Gu Ruoyun. He knew that this was a secret which was concealed in the deepest recesses of her heart.
Yet she is willing to now tell him this secret, how great of a trust is this?
"However, everything changed when my grandfather passed away. The Xia Family has a precious heirloom, the Phoenix Cauldron, and only the reincarnation of the Purple Phoenix can acquire the Phoenix Cauldron. Before he had passed on, grandfather gave the Phoenix Cauldron to me. Hence, that bastard with no humanity destroyed my entire maternal grandfather's family and kidnapped my mother to use her as a threat so that I would give him the Phoenix Cauldron! In order to prevent the Phoenix Cauldron from falling into their hands, my mother chose to take her own life!
Now, thinking of the memories of her past life, Gu Ruoyun still felt her heart ache as if it were being torn into pieces!
She could never forget how her entire maternal grandfather's family had been exterminated and the scene of that funeral. Neither could she forget as she witnessed her beloved mother tortured by that b*stard and ultimately choosing to take her own life...
Gu Ruoyun gently closed her eyes, then slowly opened them again, "After my mother died, I chose to bear the humiliation to save my skin and leave my hometown. I entrusted my only brother, who was the only person I had left at the time, to my childhood lover."
Upon hearing that last sentence, Qianbei Ye felt a discomfort in his heart. His incomparably beautiful face looked particularly ugly, and his entire body was enveloped in an eerie aura. If that person were here, god forbid that he would die without a whole corpse!
Gu Ruoyun obviously did not notice the state of the man behind her as she continued speaking, "But I never thought that he would betray me! For the sake of that Phoenix Cauldron, for the sake of a high position, he had not hesitated to curry favor with that b*stard. He tore my brother into pieces while he was still alive right in front of me! Hahaha, Xiao Ye, do you know how I had felt? Even if I had died, I wanted to drag all of them down to hell with me!"
Suddenly, a large, warm, and tender hand reached out from behind her and pulled her tightly into an embrace.
She didn't know why but upon feeling the man's warm and tender chest, her manic temperament slowly grew calm again.

"Xiao Ye, I couldn't do it. I couldn't drag them all down to hell with me! The Phoenix Cauldron had prevented me from exploding! So I was reincarnated and from that moment, I swore that I would storm the East Peak Mainland and have my revenge on them!"
"Xiao Yun."
Qianbei Ye rubbed his chin against Gu Ruoyun's head, his voice held warmth and certainty as if making a promise separate from many lifetimes.
"Don't worry, I will always be with you. Be it heaven or hell, I will be with you. Those days in the past when you had escaped death must have been lonely. In the future, I will make sure that you never feel alone. I will kill anyone you hate, even if you hate the entire world, I will destroy the world for you."
If I hate the world, he would destroy the entire world? He does not even mind becoming a devil?
Upon hearing this, Gu Ruoyun felt moved. She slowly closed her eyes and leaned her entire body, mind, and soul onto the man's body.
"Xiao Ye, did you know? After my reincarnation, I've never met my parents in my current life but I miss them dearly. Perhaps this was a feeling that the previous Gu Ruoyun had left behind for me, and perhaps it was also because we are related by blood. I still believe that they are not dead! Only lost. But I'm bitterly disappointed with the Dongfang Family's attitude."
Gu Ruoyun opened her eyes with a cold smile hanging on her lips, "My mother and father loved each other, what was wrong with that? Yet years ago, the Dongfang family had refused to acknowledge my mother even though this had been her wish. She did not want to burden the Dongfang Family with her decision. I don't blame them for mother's death, some enemies are simply too powerful and cannot be resisted by the Dongfang Family. While I don't sympathize with the old man's methods in protecting the family, I can understand. But even you knew how the Gu Family had treated my mother and the previous occupant of this body! If the Dongfang Family had not ignored her, why would he look down on my mother?"
"If... If it wasn't for the fact that no one from the Dongfang Family ever chose to stand up, the previous Gu Ruoyun would still be alive."
Gu Ruoyun sighed heavily and said.
The previous Gu Ruoyun was already dead, she is now Xia Ruoyun!
If the Dongfang Family could have vouched for the previous inhabitant of this body then she would not have died with remaining resentments!! Of course, if it weren't for the death of the previous inhabitant, she would not have been able to reincarnate...
Hence, she felt both resentment and gratitude towards the Dongfang Family.
"Xiao Yun."
Qianbei Ye held the young girl's cold body tightly in his arms as he lowered his eyes and coaxed her softly, "You still have me..."
"Xiao Ye..."
Gu Ruoyun lightly puckered her lips as a sense of warmth passed over her heart. She knew that even if she were to (one day) become an enemy of the world, he would still remain by her side, never leaving nor abandoning her...
Even if she was turned into a great monster targeted by many, he would still believe that everything she did was right.
Actually, Gu Ruoyun was rejoicing. She rejoiced the fact that she met him that year and had accepted him. Otherwise, right now, he would not even be by her side...
Suddenly, Qianbei Ye's face sank and shot a cold and eerie glare at a willow tree under the night sky. His voice was gloomy and a murderous intent stirred from the space between his brows, "Show yourself!"
Shua!
Just as he spoke, small red fellow rolled out from behind the willow tree. He tottered and rolled until he reached Qianbei Ye, his green eye and red eye were both filled with confusion and cowardice as they staring timidly up at the silver-haired man before him.
