"What are you talking about? You're shameless." Gu Yanran couldn't help laughing at Gu Nianzhi's "greedy" expression. She reached out to poke the tip of her delicate nose. "You're the only girl who's attracted to her husband now. What will happen in the future if you move your family's money to your husband's family?"
"How is this girl who's attracted to her husband?" Gu Nianzhi pretended to be confused and spread her hands. "Sis, didn't you say I can't spend other people's money? Can't I spend my own money? I'm not even married, so where would my family come from? "
This logic was so logical that Gu Yanran didn't know how to respond.
Ye Xuan crossed his arms and snorted. "You only know how to make things difficult for your sister."
"Aren't you annoying?" Gu Nianzhi was infuriated by Ye Xuan's sarcasm and turned back to him. "Don't forget your surname isn't Gu. What does the Gu family's business have to do with you? Why do you care about how my sister and I spend our money? My father is sponsoring you to go to school, not inviting a Bodhisattva to sit high above us and order us around! "
Ye Xuan was even angrier than she was, but Gu Nianzhi's every word was reasonable, so he couldn't refute her. He could only continue snorting. "Can't I help when I see injustice? Old Mr. Gu is sponsoring me, so I can't watch you treat your sister like this. "
"Who are you to my sister? Why do you care how I treat her? " Gu Nianzhi refused to back down and walked to her car door. She opened it and said without looking back, "My sister and I are having dinner today. Unrelated people, please don't come uninvited."
"Who are you calling unrelated people?!" Ye Xuan rushed over and blocked Gu Nianzhi's door, not allowing her to close it. "Speak clearly! You disappeared for six or seven years, and the Gu family is completely supported by Yanran! Do you know how much she has suffered? Do you know how much she has been through? How can you treat her like this? "
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes internally and glared at Ye Xuan. She scolded in a low voice, "Let go!"
Her brows were solemn, and her bright black eyes looked over, flashing with a stern light. Ye Xuan couldn't help but be taken aback.
"I really don't know how you studied in the United States." Gu Nianzhi pouted. "I think you have a limited IQ. Is this how you fight for justice? Besides, I've been missing for six or seven years, but has my sister had a hard time? How was it difficult? Should he eat less and wear less, or should he sleep on the streets? None, right? The Gu Family in Barbados is extremely wealthy, and my sister is the only one in power in the family. Tell me, if she's not doing well, shouldn't everyone else just kill themselves?! "
"What do you know?" Ye Xuan almost scoffed. "All you know is money …"
"Hehe, I thought it was you and my sister who were talking about money." Gu Nianzhi snickered. "I only drove a car. One of you wants me to return it, and the other won't let me buy it with my own money …"
"My own money? You … "Ye Xuan couldn't help but blurt out something.
"Ye Xuan! This is between me and my sister! Don't interfere! "Gu Yanran suddenly shouted at him to stop him from continuing.
Ye Xuan slammed the car door shut with great force and walked back to his Bentley. He asked Gu Yanran, "Are we still going to the supermarket?"
"No need. Ask the restaurant to send a table of food over." Gu Yanran watched Gu Nianzhi drive away, and her eyes dimmed. She returned to the car and sat down.
Ye Xuan drove in the front seat and occasionally looked at Gu Yanran's expression in the rearview mirror.
Gu Yanran's face was full of exhaustion and blankness. Ye Xuan felt his heart wrench.
"Yanran, what's wrong? Don't take Gu Nianzhi's words to heart. She's been heartless since she was young. Did you forget that when you were young, she almost caused you to drown in the swimming pool? " Ye Xuan comforted Gu Yanran softly. "People are fated to meet. You've worked so hard to find her for six or seven years, but she doesn't appreciate it at all."
"Ye Xuan, I won't allow you to talk about her like that. No matter how bad she is, she's still my sister and a member of the Gu family. I'll educate her well." Gu Yanran didn't seem to want to talk about this topic anymore. She propped up her head with one hand and leaned against the window. She looked at the scenery outside in silence.
It was midsummer, and the weather was very hot. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the ground and roasted the asphalt roads until they were soft.
There was air conditioning in the car, so it blocked the scorching sun outside. There was only a refreshing coolness in the car.
Ye Xuan drove and saw Gu Nianzhi's flashy red custom-made Ferrari flash in and out of view in front of him. It drove like lightning, constantly overtaking other cars and changing lanes. He couldn't help but hate her even more. He frowned and said, "Although Gu Nianzhi wasn't likable in the past, she wasn't as annoying as she is now. How did she get through all these years? "
"What else could it be? She's just lucky … "Gu Yanran smiled, and her voice became softer." She's always been very lucky … "
"What did you say?" Ye Xuan didn't hear Gu Yanran clearly from the driver's seat and asked.
"Nothing. I said Nianzhi is very good." Gu Yanran nodded with a smile. "Focus on driving. I'll order." As she spoke, she swiped open her phone and found a three-Michelin-starred restaurant. She ordered a table of seafood and had it delivered to her apartment.
Gu Nianzhi first returned to the parking lot downstairs.
She carried a few bags of things back to her apartment. She had just finished packing when she received a call from Gu Yanran.
"Nianzhi, come up for dinner."
Gu Nianzhi agreed and said, "I'll be right there." However, she asked, "Is Ye Xuan still there?"
"He's here." Gu Yanran smiled very kindly. "Nianzhi, Ye Xuan grew up with us. He's even your childhood friend. Don't be too harsh on him. He's not a bad person, and he's very loyal to the Gu family. Even if you don't want to give him face, just give him face. Let's have a good meal today, okay? "
Gu Nianzhi was very disgusted by the words "childhood friend." She took her phone and keys and walked to the door. She said unhappily, "Sis, you can't use the term childhood friend carelessly. He's your childhood friend, not mine. Don't get it wrong. "
Gu Yanran chuckled. "Nianzhi, it looks like you've really forgotten. When we were at home, you really liked Ye Xuan …"
"Stop!" Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but roll her eyes internally. "Sis, I already said that I don't remember the past, especially when I was young. Can you stop talking nonsense like this?"
"How is this nonsense?" Gu Yanran leaned against the window and spoke to Gu Nianzhi gently and patiently.
Ye Xuan had gone downstairs to get the food, so he wasn't in the apartment. Gu Yanran was the only one in the apartment.
She looked up at the warmly and elegantly decorated apartment and sighed softly. "Fine, Nianzhi. If you don't like to hear about the past, then I won't talk about it. I know you have someone else in your heart now. I don't blame you, but people can't forget their roots. "
Gu Nianzhi also sighed and said earnestly, "Sis, if you keep acting like this, I'm really going to suspect that you've mistaken someone else for my sister."
"Oh? How can you say that? "Gu Yanran was obviously stumped by Gu Nianzhi's words." Did I say something wrong? "
"Of course not. I was only 12 years old when I went missing seven years ago. Sis, what right do you have to say that I've fallen in love with someone else?! Don't tell me that I've fallen in love before I was even 12 years old?! "
