Gu Nianzhi felt that Gu Yanran's focus was a bit strange. She asked in confusion, "Father has always been very capable?"
From what she could remember, Huo Shaoheng had shown her Gu Xiangwen's achievements in the international academic community. Just by looking at how he started from scratch and became a wealthy tycoon with his own patents, she could tell how capable he was.
"He is very capable, but this is different." Gu Yanran looked up at Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, you've been living a carefree life with Huo Shao all these years. You don't know how Ye Xuan and I have been living."
Gu Nianzhi was silent for a moment before asking with a smile, "I really don't know how you guys got here. Sister, can you tell me about it? "
"I'll tell you when I have time." Gu Yanran put an arm around Gu Nianzhi's shoulder affectionately, and they walked back together. "You must get along well with Huo Shao. Don't be too short-sighted and only covet his money. Our Gu family has plenty of money, and the dowry we'll give you will be enough for you and my nephews to live a carefree life. "
The more Gu Nianzhi listened, the more disgusted she became. She interrupted Gu Yanran rudely. "Sis, I've never been with Huo Shao for money."
Although she had used Huo Shaoheng's money in the past, she was still underage at the time. Since Huo Shaoheng didn't mind, Gu Nianzhi wouldn't be stubborn.
Also, she had already decided to earn money to support herself in the future, so she didn't need Gu Yanran's repeated reminders.
"I know, I know. Our Nianzhi is not a greedy person. Our Nianzhi must be with Huo Shao for love. "Gu Yanran coaxed Gu Nianzhi like a child.
It was getting more and more ridiculous.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and stopped in front of the elevator. Her hands clenched into fists as she resisted the urge to punch Gu Yanran's smiling face. She frowned. "Sis, am I such an unbearable person in your heart? Someone who would sell herself for money? "
Gu Yanran's smile froze on her face. She asked in confusion, "Nianzhi, why must you be like a porcupine sticking out all your spikes at me? You know that's not what I meant. "
"I don't know what you mean." Gu Nianzhi unclenched her fist and pressed the button to go up. Her expression was indifferent.
The elevator door opened, and Ye Xuan was actually standing inside.
He saw the two sisters standing in front of the elevator and the atmosphere seemed to be a little tense. He raised his handsome brows. "Yanran, we have an appointment with Mr Xue."
Gu Yanran seemed to have just remembered this. She slapped her forehead and said apologetically, "Nianzhi, I still have some business to discuss with Xue Jingjiang. I'll leave Father in your care."
"It's my job. You don't have to be so polite." Gu Nianzhi walked into the elevator without looking at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan also glanced at Gu Nianzhi with disdain and walked out of the elevator.
The two of them stood side by side in the elevator, and Ye Xuan's eyes never left Gu Yanran's face. They looked like a perfect match.
As Gu Nianzhi pressed the button for the floor, she looked at Gu Yanran thoughtfully and then at Ye Xuan. Suddenly, she smiled meaningfully at them with a look that said, "I know you and I know each other."
Gu Yanran, who had been calm all this time, found Gu Nianzhi's smile very irritating. She quickly glanced at Ye Xuan and saw that he was staring at her. His gaze was extremely focused, as if she was the only person in his eyes. Everything else was in the background.
Gu Yanran pursed her lips and turned to leave the elevator. Ye Xuan turned around to glare at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and raised her hand to make a "heart" gesture at Ye Xuan. Her exquisite chin lifted in Gu Yanran's direction.
Ye Xuan froze and blushed. He suddenly felt that Gu Nianzhi wasn't as annoying as before.
He turned to look at Gu Yanran in front of him and chased after her with a smile.
The elevator door slowly closed in front of Gu Nianzhi. Gu Nianzhi's smile disappeared almost instantly.
She covered her face with both hands and sighed heavily.
When the elevator reached Gu Xiangwen's floor, she finally put her hands down and walked out.
When she arrived at Gu Xiangwen's ward, Chen Lie was changing Gu Xiangwen's IV drip. He turned around and saw Gu Nianzhi's sullen face. He sighed internally.
These days, he had also noticed the estrangement between Gu Nianzhi and Gu Yanran.
Although they were sisters, and Gu Nianzhi had tried hard to get close to her only sister, it didn't go her way.
Who asked them to not be biological sisters?
This kind of situation was understandable, right?
Chen Lie changed the IV drip and was about to comfort Gu Nianzhi when he suddenly thought of a problem.
Did Gu Yanran know that Gu Nianzhi wasn't her biological sister?
Then he thought about the method Huo Shaoheng used to prove Gu Nianzhi's parentage, and Gu Yanran also agreed to this roundabout method. Did this mean that Gu Yanran already knew that Gu Nianzhi wasn't Gu Xiangwen's biological daughter?
If that was the case, it would explain why Gu Yanran treated Gu Nianzhi and Ye Xuan the same way …
Since they weren't related to her by blood, it was only because they had been together for a long time that their relationship deepened.
Just like Gu Nianzhi, she wasn't related to Huo Shaoheng and the others by blood, but because she had grown up with them, she was closer to them than to others. Even Gu Yanran, her nominal sister, wasn't as close to them as she was to them.
Chen Lie took off his gloves and threw them into the trash can. He waved at Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, come sit here."
Gu Nianzhi sat on the sofa across from him and said listlessly, "Brother Chen, what's up?"
"Don't pull a long face." Chen Lie cheered her up with a smile. "You didn't grow up with Gu Yanran, and you're not biological sisters either. Why do you care so much about her?"
"I don't care?" Gu Nianzhi looked at Chen Lie in shock. "Why would Brother Chen say that?"
"You don't care? Then why are you pulling a long face? " Chen Lie didn't expect his guess to be wrong. "I thought you were unhappy that Gu Yanran didn't treat you like a sister …"
"Huh? You think so too? " Gu Nianzhi's interest was piqued. She rested her chin on her knees with both hands, her large eyes sparkling. "I really don't think she treats me like family. She treats me like an outsider every time we talk. I'm not an idiot. How can I not understand what she's trying to say? "
She didn't expect Gu Yanran to be intimate with her right from the start. Also, she wasn't related to Gu Yanran by blood. They hadn't seen each other for so many years, so she had no idea how much sisterly love Gu Yanran still had for her.
But regardless of whether they were related by blood or not, she was legally a member of the Gu family. She was Gu Xiangwen's youngest daughter. There was no doubt about that. But Gu Yanran still treated her like an outsider, both openly and secretly. She kept talking about "dowry" and "dowry." Pfft, as if she cared about it …
"If she doesn't treat you like family, then don't treat her like family. You and Huo Shao are family. Who cares about other people?" Chen Lie comforted Gu Nianzhi with a smile. His words really touched the bottom of Gu Nianzhi's heart. Of course, it also made her miss him even more.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chen, do you know when Huo Shao will be back?"
