She seemed to have made up her mind, looking at me with a complicated expression, "Xu Ruo, let's be friends."

I was taken aback for a moment.

Before she could answer, Gu Lianyi questioned, "Gu Nianci, what do you mean?"

"Are you even going to steal your brother-in-law?"

Gu Nianci bit her lip and whispered, "Sister, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to tell him something."

"I won't interfere with you."

Gu Lianyi sneered and said, "Gu Nianci, do you think I would believe you?"

“I remember everything you just said.”

"Do you really think I don't know what you're up to?"

"Xu Ruo, let's go!"

"Sister!" Gu Nianci blocked our way, pleading, "Can't I even confirm a few things?"

"No way!" Gu Lianyi's attitude was firm.

I was somewhat surprised to see her like this.

After thinking for a moment, I still spoke up: "If I remember correctly, you should be Miss Gu Nianci, right?"

Gu Nianci looked at me.

Gu Lianyi tightened her grip on my hand.

I glanced at Gu Lianyi and felt that she seemed a little too nervous, but I didn't ask any further questions. Instead, I smiled slightly and said, "My girlfriend doesn't like me getting involved with other women."

"So I'm sorry, I can't leave you my contact information."

"As for the rest..."

"I don't know you, and I don't think there's anything you need to verify with me, right?"

"Please move aside."

"Your family doesn't really like me, especially that young master Wang, he's very unhappy with me. If you don't move aside, are you really going to ask me to stay for dinner?"

I looked at Gu Nianci with a half-smile.

Eighteen-year-old Gu Nianci looked quite immature.

But her obsession and her relentless pursuit of her goals were exactly the same as in her previous life.

This is not a bad habit.

But I don't like it.

Or rather, I'm averse to having any involvement with her.

If it weren't for Gu Lianyi, I probably would never have ended up here in my entire life.

Fortunately, after I finished speaking, Gu Nianci finally gave up and stopped arguing. After a moment of stunned silence, she made way for me.

Gu Lianyi and I left the Gu family home and got into the car.

Gu Lianyi immediately drove off without a second thought.

But I could vaguely sense that she was hiding something from me.

However, I didn't ask. I just sat in the car, knowing that she would definitely tell me, or at least tell me something she felt was necessary.

As expected.

We stopped outside her dance troupe.

She didn't rush to get out of the car. Instead, she looked at me, hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously, "Xu Ruo, do you believe me?"

"Why shouldn't I believe you?" I countered.

"Alright, since you trust me, then leave Binhai today." Gu Lianyi's eyes immediately reddened. "I will give you some money. After you leave, don't come back."

"What do you mean? Are you telling me to run away?" I asked, puzzled.

"My dad has his eye on you."

Do you know what Gu Nianci told me?

"What did she say?" I narrowed my eyes slightly when I heard Gu Nianci's name.

“She said she felt her dream was real, and she felt you were a member of the Xu family, so my father decided to tell the Xu family about you. After tonight, the Xu family will come looking for you.”

“But I know you have nothing to do with them, it’s just a dream. But once you’re taken away by the Xu family, it means you’ll be used by my father.”

"If the Xu family finds out, you..."

Gu Lianyi looked full of guilt and burst into tears as she spoke.

"I'm sorry, Xu Ruo."

"I didn't know it would turn out like this."

"I really don't know."
