"Ci? Why are you back?"Gu Qingyuan pushed open the door and entered. Behind him was Su Furong and Xu Yun'er.Gu Jiuci turned and swept her eyes over the three of them. It looked as if they had come back together again."I...""Ci, your cousin has already told me what happened at the meeting today. What are we going to do about your competitive personality? If not for your cousin smoothing things over for you... who knows how many people you would have offended already?"Before Gu Jiuci could finish speaking, Old Gu began speaking his thoughts and interrupted her."As I said, it's best if Yun'er is with Ci, this way they can look after each other."Su Furong immediately took advantage of the situation and didn't give Gu Jiuci any chance to cut in."Looks like the mother and daughter have successfully enchanted Old Gu even more!"Gu Jiuci narrowed her eyes slightly and gave a thoughtful at Su Furong and Xu Yun'er."In the past, I didn't consider things thoroughly enough. Now t
"Ci, how can you be so immature? Hurry up and let your brother leave!"Even Old Gu was staring unhappily at Gu Jiuci."I..."Gu Jiuci unobtrusively dodged Su Furong's hand. With no other choice, she said, "I just wanted to get a ride with brother to go back to the Phoenix Lodge. Brother, isn't it on the way to the company?"Since she couldn't stop her brother leaving, then she would take a step back and go with him.Her brother was just about to speak when Su Furong immediately cut across him."Look at the time. Isn't Huo Mingche on a business trip? Sleep at home tonight.""Aunt, why do you know Brother Che's schedule better than I do? What if he comes home tonight and gets angry because I'm not there?"Or are you very sure that he won't be back tonight?"Gu Jiuci narrowed her eyes and stared meaningfully at Su Furong.Panic flashed through Su Furong's eyes. "Damn! When did this girl become so clever?""That's right, how do you know about Huo Mingche's schedule?"Old Gu als
As the car drew nearer to the bridge, Gu Jiuci became more and more anxious. "What can I do to make brother stop?""Ci, you seem to have something on your mind. Why do you look so uncomfortable?"Gu Qian tilted his head to evaluate his sister. From when they were home earlier, he could see that there was something wrong with his sister."Brother, you're the CEO of the corporation. What matter could make you, the CEO, go to the company at this time?"Gu Jiuci was so nervous she didn't know what to say and could only scramble for a random topic."It's like this. We have a government project and we are putting in bids with other companies. Now the economic plan for the project has reached a crucial moment and we need to discuss it together.""Can't they send the economic plan to you? Why do you need to go to the company personally?"Gu Jiuci spoke in an irritated tone. "Isn't this excuse too flimsy?" To her, it reeked of conspiracy."I don't have anything else to do right now anyw
Gu Jiuci's expression also changed immediately. "Looks like the trajectory of my previous life hasn't changed, there was still an accident on the bridge."The commercial car was too unlucky. "Just because it was similar to Brother's car, it became the scapegoat."Since the hidden opponent in the dark didn't succeed this time, they would probably try again. Gu Jiuci furrowed her brows, and she had to make her brother aware of this."My god! Isn't this commercial car the one we saw earlier? It looks a lot like our car!" Gu Jiuci said in a purposely exaggerated tone as she stole a glance at her brother.Gu Qian stared at the television thoughtfully.She immediately took the opportunity and added, "Brother, do you think this is a normal car crash? Or do you think someone didn't like the look of this commercial car and purposely laid a trap?""He probably wasn't the target, and the target probably was me."Gu Qian was silent for a moment then pulled out his phone with a cold laugh. H
When he got to the end, her brother's expression was particularly serious.Gu Jiuci's heart trembled and her eyes prickled. In both her lives, her brother had said the exact same thing."Perhaps I can let slip some clues for him to pick up on. Given his intelligence, he will slowly come to the right conclusion himself."At this moment, she made a decision."I didn't mean to hide it from you on purpose. It's just that I'm afraid everyone will scold me after I say it and probably no one will believe me.""Who would dare to scold you! I'll be the first to teach them a lesson! Rest assured and speak bravely."Gu Qian smiled gently, but his tone was very serious."I think..."Gu Jiuci clenched her fist and gathered her courage to spit it all out at once."I think Aunt and Cousin aren't sincere in being good to our family. They are after something. Just then, Aunt desperately wanted you to leave the house and I felt like something was wrong. That's why I purposely ruined your journe
"Mhm, okay."Her brother agreed crisply and didn't say another word.Gu Jiuci paused and awkwardly asked, "Brother, aren't you going to ask me why?""For good or bad, you are a genius with a 220 IQ. I trust your decision. However... I won't give them a chance to hurt you."When he said the last sentence, Gu Qian's expression darkened and it carried a murderous air.Gu Jiuci had prepared a pile of reasons to answer her brother's questions. For example, during these three years, the mother and daughter have put down deep roots in the Gu Family. Old Gu would not agree to them being chased away for no good reason.Another example was that Su Furong might have slipped her own people into the company and they would need to dig them out first.Most importantly, she didn't want Xu Yun'er to get away so easily. She would make Xu Yun'er pay back a thousand times the pain she had suffered in her previous life."A dull knife hurts more..."Unexpectedly, her brother's love for her knew no
Gu Jiuci ignored Zhan Ying's message, instead, she swiped across her screen and opened her conversation with Huo Mingche.Their most recent conversation was from before Huo Mingche went overseas."You bastard, why can't you just message me directly if you have something to say? Why must you borrow someone else's mouth? Do you have objections towards me?"Gu Jiuci pouted gloomily and angrily reached out to poke the conversation window, however, there was still no reply from the other side...On the contrary, Tang Yu sent a message.Tang Yu: "Ci, the makeup photos and the short videos came out very well. The production crew has decided that they will start advertising soon. When the time comes, you will be an overnight success!"She could tell that Tang Yu was very excited. After he had sent a long message, he specially added an "excited" sticker, making Gu Jiuci very curious.Gu Jiuci: "How amazing is it? Can you show me?"Tang Yu: "It's official material, a strict secret. When
Gu Jiuci smiled a little and pulled Si Chen as they headed into the park."Chenchen, don't pay her any mind. Let's go!""Hey, Gu Jiuci. Make clear what you're saying!"Ji Weiran jumped up and down in anger. Just as she was about to charge forward, Shen Jianxing pulled her in by her waist and stuck an ice cream cone in front of her face."Strawberry flavored."Ji Weiran's attention was immediately caught by the ice cream cone and she smiled sweetly at Shen Jianxing."Thank you, my dear."Shen Jianxing reached out and patted his girlfriend's head with a deep tenderness in his eyes."Hey, hey, hey, this singleton is about to fall over in jealousy. Chenchen, what about you?"Gu Jiuci's arms were crossed over her chest and she wore a disdainful expression, but secretly she was jealous."This is what a normal couple should look like.""I... I think I am a little jealous."Si Chen spoke thoughtfully. For some reason, when she saw Ji Weiran and Shen Jianxing interact, she would alw
