Gu Nianzhi couldn't refuse even if she wanted to because Gu Yanran had already hung up.
If she didn't go down or went out to eat with Ma Qiqi, she would be standing Gu Yanran up.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't bring herself to break a promise and make someone wait for so long. Moreover, Gu Yanran had a relationship with her that was slightly more than that of a normal person.
Gu Nianzhi looked down at her phone and rubbed it for a while before saying to Ma Qiqi, "Qiqi, I have something going on, so I can't go eat with you."
Ma Qiqi heard Gu Nianzhi take a call and thought it was her incredibly handsome boyfriend. She winked at her and giggled. "Nianzhi, you value your lover over your friend!"
"Bah! You're the one who values love over friendship! " Gu Nianzhi knew that Ma Qiqi had misunderstood, but she couldn't tell Ma Qiqi about her relationship with Gu Yanran right now. She could only vaguely say, "My family came to visit me …"
"Your family?" Ma Qiqi couldn't hide her emotions and said in surprise, "You're not … You're not …"
An orphan girl?
Gu Nianzhi understood what Ma Qiqi was implying, so she spread her hands and said, "Yes, I thought I had no relatives, but someone popped up recently. I'm still investigating, so I don't know if she's my relative."
"Oh oh oh! That's great! " Ma Qiqi was instantly elated. She draped an arm over Gu Nianzhi's shoulder. "Hurry up and go. Don't make people wait too long."
For an orphan girl to suddenly have relatives was certainly something to be happy about.
Ma Qiqi had both parents and was the apple of her eye, so she sympathized with Gu Nianzhi very much.
Now that he heard that she also had a relative, he was genuinely happy for her.
Gu Nianzhi squeezed her hand. "Ok, then I'll go down now." After a few steps, she turned around and said to Ma Qiqi, "Um, Qiqi, don't tell anyone about this, okay?"
Ma Qiqi nodded. "Don't worry, I won't."
…
When he got downstairs, he saw a silver six-seater Audi Pikes-Peak-Ro parked next to the stairs in front of the building.
Gu Nianzhi's eyelids twitched uncontrollably as she looked at the cursive "KU" on the silver nameplate on the car.
This Gu Yanran really knew how to enjoy herself.
It was obvious that the car was custom-made, and the price was around ten million USD. It was once one of the top five luxury cars in the world.
However, it was impossible to tell that the car was so expensive from its appearance.
Gu Nianzhi knew about this car because she had coincidentally helped He Zhichu with a small case. There was an introduction to the world's top luxury cars. She had a good memory and could remember almost everything she saw.
Now that she saw the luxury car that had been on the webpage appear before her, she took a deep breath and patted her pounding chest before walking towards the car.
Gu Yanran peeked out from the window of the backseat and smiled at her. "Come on in."
The driver got out of the driver's seat and went around to open the door for Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
This was too ostentatious.
Did he need a chauffeur just to drive an SUV?
If it was a Rolls-Royce, it would be fine. That kind of luxury car would be too embarrassing to drive outside without a driver.
But an SUV can only be driven by oneself!
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and got into the car. She sat next to Gu Yanran and nodded at her. "Miss Gu, you're really decisive. I already made plans with my roommates to eat, but I still had to stand them up."
Gu Yanran placed a hand on Gu Nianzhi's shoulder and said, "Nianzhi, I'm really sorry. I really wanted to see you so much that I didn't think too much. I apologize." She then said, "Where were you planning to eat with your classmates? Why don't you ask your classmates to come too? "
Since Gu Yanran had already said that, Gu Nianzhi couldn't keep a straight face and pretend to be unhappy.
She smiled and reached out to smooth her hair that hung down to her chest. She took the opportunity to move Gu Yanran's hand away from her shoulder and said, "It's okay. My roommates are very nice and reasonable. They won't mind."
"That's good." Gu Yanran nodded and said emotionally, "Your friend is a sensible person. She knows that friends are not as important as family. They can understand giving up friends to be with family. If your friends can't understand, then you don't need them. "
Was she teaching her a lesson so soon?
Gu Nianzhi thought about it but couldn't think of anything to refute Gu Yanran. She could only remain silent the entire way and sit in Gu Yanran's car to a high-class clubhouse not far from the school.
Gu Yanran was obviously a VIP there. She took out her VIP black card, and the handsome young man at the door immediately brightened. He respectfully led her and Gu Nianzhi to a small, elegant room.
The decoration of this single room was very gentle. There were a few beautiful paper lanterns hanging on the roof. The paper was snow-white, but the light was softened when it shone on the faces of the people. It was like a soft light, and everyone had a feeling that their skin was as clear as jade.
The room was covered with tatami mats with a short table in the middle. The two of them had to kneel on the tatami mats.
Gu Nianzhi disliked the Japanese kneeling posture the most. Her legs were numb after eating.
"Miss Gu, do you like Japanese food?" Gu Nianzhi glanced at Gu Yanran and thought of the conflict she saw between Yamaguchi Youko and Gu Yanran in the waters of the blue hole.
Gu Yanran also thought of Yamaguchi Youko. Her eyes dimmed as she looked at the small table on the tatami mats and said quietly, "It's alright. I used to eat here with a Japanese friend."
"Miss Gu, do you have many Japanese friends?" Gu Nianzhi sat cross-legged on the tatami and watched Gu Yanran kneel across from her. Her posture was very precise.
Gu Yanran had always been beautiful. When she sat with her head down, she had the quiet and gentle air of a Japanese woman.
Gu Nianzhi remembered how Gu Yanran had personally killed Yamaguchi Youko and kicked her body into the sea. Compared to this Gu Yanran who was quietly pouring sake for her, it was like a completely different person.
"What do you want to eat?" Gu Yanran took the meticulously drawn menu and handed it to Gu Nianzhi. "Order whatever you like."
Gu Nianzhi didn't look at the menu and smiled. "I'm not familiar with Japanese food. I'll leave it to Miss Gu to decide."
"Ok, I'll order a few of the specialty dishes here and a bottle of plum wine. We can talk while we eat."
Gu Nianzhi nodded.
Soon, a waiter in a kimono walked in and took down Gu Yanran's order. He bowed deeply and backed out, closing the door behind him.
"Nianzhi, how have you been all these years? Why didn't you look for us? " Gu Yanran was very interested in what Gu Nianzhi had been through all these years. "I was worried sick. I never stopped looking for you in the Caribbean. How did I know you'd come here?!"
Gu Nianzhi didn't remember at all how she went from a ship in the Caribbean Sea to a car that was about to explode on the streets of C City …
Therefore, she couldn't answer Gu Yanran's question and only said calmly, "I don't remember either. When I woke up, Huo Shao had already saved me. After that, Huo Shao became my guardian. "
Gu Yanran already knew all this. Now that Gu Nianzhi was saying it, it only confirmed the information she had received before.
"This Huo Shao Empire's military is so unreliable. How could they let you grow up with a man?" Gu Yanran sighed repeatedly. "Nianzhi, it's all my fault. If only I had found you earlier."
Gu Yanran's words were sincere, and Gu Nianzhi found that she couldn't bring herself to hate her.
"Huo Shao is very good to me. I've never been wronged." Gu Nianzhi quickly defended Huo Shaoheng. "Miss Gu, don't think too much."
"Really?" Gu Yanran looked at her steadily. "Nianzhi, you and I are sisters. Other than our father, we're the closest family in the world. Regardless of whether you see me as a sister or not, you're my only sister. If I don't care about you, who else should I care about?"
"Yeah, thank you … Sister Gu." Gu Nianzhi was finally willing to call Gu Yanran "sister," although she added the word "Gu" before "sister."
As they were talking, Gu Nianzhi's phone rang again. This time, it was Huo Shaoheng's exclusive ringtone.
They hadn't contacted each other for a few days. Gu Nianzhi had been resisting the urge to call Huo Shaoheng.
At that moment, Huo Shaoheng finally called. She couldn't hold it in anymore and quickly answered the call.
"Nianzhi, where are you?" Huo Shaoheng's voice sounded especially low over the phone, and there was a trace of imperceptible fatigue.
Gu Nianzhi sensed it and quickly said, "I'm outside having dinner with Miss Gu Yanran. Huo Shao, what's up?"
Huo Shaoheng froze. "Gu Yanran is having dinner with you? Where are you? How many people are there? "
"It's just me and Miss Gu." Gu Nianzhi looked at Gu Yanran and swiped her finger to send the address to Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng was sitting in a car below Gu Nianzhi's dormitory.
