☆, Chapter 55: Hot Spring Villa

Gu Ran didn't think there was anything to hide and said it happily.

"Bai Yifan is on vacation tomorrow. He said his relative just opened a mountain resort with a nice environment and wants to take me there. There are a lot of things to do there. The hot springs are also brought down from the mountains, and you can see small animals there."

"What's so special about hot springs? If you like them, our company also has several hot spring hotels. You can go to whichever one you want." Father Gu sneered, unconsciously showing a bit of pride.

It's not that he looks down on Bai Yifan, but he is wary of anyone of the opposite sex who dares to set his sights on his daughter.

Gu Ran was stunned, feeling that this was not what her father would say. However, she did not know about the company's industries and hot spring hotels, so she could not help but ask out of curiosity.

"Is the hot spring water also brought down from the mountain?"

"There are two places that do." Mother Gu said, "If you like, we can find time to go there."

"Okay, then let's go when we have time later. I'll go with Brother Bai tomorrow." Since Gu Ran had already promised Bai Yifan, he naturally wouldn't stand him up just because he also had a hot spring at home.

Besides, the more times you soak in a hot spring, the more comfortable it will be. She doesn't mind going there often.

"Are you close to Bai Yifan?" Gu Xiyan felt like he had missed a lot during the time he was away from home.

He and Bai Yifan have known each other for such a long time, but Gu Ran and Bai Yifan are not as close as each other.

"Not bad, Brother Bai is a very nice person." Gu Ran said with a smile.

What a bullshit!

Father Gu became even more alert, "Are you two the only ones going?"

"I don't know. I forgot to ask." Gu Ran spread his hands. "Maybe Brother Bai is with some friends, or his colleagues are on vacation or something."

She is an extrovert and doesn't mind playing with Bai Yifan's friends.

"I'll go pack up and get ready. Mom, Dad, Fourth Brother, you guys chat first." Gu Ran said as he went upstairs.

Father Gu called her and said, "Wait a minute, what are you packing?"

"Of course it's the luggage for accommodation!" Gu Ran stopped and turned around. "Brother Bai said that the villa is quite big and can be visited for several days. Even if he doesn't have that much time, he will at least stay for one night."

After all, the distance is so far, it takes several hours to drive there. It is impossible to spend the whole afternoon there and then rush back overnight. That would be too rushed.

"Do you want to stay longer?" Father Gu was surprised.

Mother Gu was also a little depressed and hurried forward, "This is not good, right? A man and a woman alone..."

"Mom and Dad, what's wrong with you?" Gu Ran couldn't help laughing. "Are you still asleep? What's with the single man and single woman thing... That's a hotel with plenty of rooms. I'm not living with Brother Bai."

[A mountain resort like that is sure to have a lot of people visiting, men, women, young and old. Who would stay together if they weren't couples?]

Gu Ran looked at his father, then at his mother, and then at Gu Xiyan who was standing blankly behind him.

"Mom, Dad, Fourth Brother, did something happen to you? Why do you seem out of sorts?"

Even words like "a single man and a single woman" came out.

"Uh..." Mother Gu was a little embarrassed. She was indeed a little worried just now and could only find someone to take the blame.

"Nothing, I just had a phone call with your second sister, and I was a little distracted."

In fact, it has nothing to do with the call with Gu Lan. The call was made yesterday.

But Mr. and Mrs. Gu never feel embarrassed about finding someone to take the blame.

Father Gu also chimed in, "Yes! Your second sister said she had to go on a business trip, otherwise I would have wanted to call her back."

[I see…]

[No wonder then. Gu's parents are probably all focused on my second sister.]

Gu Ran understood instantly.

[The sincere love of parents.]

[Speaking of which, my second sister has been away from home for over half a month now. She seems to have been quiet and I don't know what she's been doing.]

[Qiqi is not here even though her battery is out. I'll have to ask her about it tomorrow when it's fully charged. I wonder if that scumbag has been exposed.]

What scumbag, what leaving home?

Who is Qiqi?

Gu Xiyan felt that he had missed too much and was increasingly unable to understand what his family members were saying.

But he didn't dare to ask more, for fear of revealing Gu Ran's thoughts.

"Mom and Dad, you don't have to worry too much. My second sister will take good care of herself." Gu Ran comforted her parents.

Father and Mother Gu nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, you should go up and clean up quickly. Gu Yan and Xi Ming will be back soon. Let's play mahjong as a family."

[Great! I love playing mahjong the most!]

Gu Ran hurried up to clean up.

After Gu Xiyan and the others had walked away, he dared to ask his doubts, "What happened to my second sister?"

How much had happened during his absence!

…

Gu's father and mother pulled Gu Xiyan away and told him in detail what had happened recently.

This includes Gu Lan's severing of ties with her family, the dispute over inheritance, and her third aunt Mei Yan, who has ulterior motives and has already severed ties with her family.

It took a full hour.

After the two finished talking, Gu Yan and Gu Ximing came back, and Gu Ran had already packed up and came down from upstairs.

The family got together to play mahjong for two hours and then had a lively dinner.

After dinner, Gu Ran returned to his room.

Father Gu gathered the rest of the people together and held a family meeting behind Gu Ran's back.

Originally, the content of this small meeting was just to discuss the matter of transferring Mr. Gu's inheritance to Gu Ran.

But because of the phone call Gu Ran received in the afternoon, a new topic was added to the meeting - how to ruin Gu Ran and Bai Yifan's date.

Yes, date.

A single man and a single woman, and going to a place like a hot spring villa, Gu's father used his man's intuition to immediately determine Bai Yifan's purpose.

This guy definitely has bad intentions towards Gu Ran!

Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough.

A beautiful lady is a gentleman's dream.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Gu Ran having a relationship at this age.

It is no exaggeration to say that Bai Yifan's conditions are one in a million.

But Father Gu was unhappy.

The entire Gu family was unhappy.

So after discussion, they decided that Gu Xiyan would delay his return to the team for two days, and they would also secretly follow him to the villa to protect Gu Ran!

As for the hot spring villa, it is open to the public anyway. Gu Ran and Bai Yifan can go there for fun, so they can naturally go too.

So the next morning, an hour after Gu Ran was picked up by Bai Yifan, the Gu family set off.

…

The villa that Bai Yifan took Gu Ran to was mainly for vacation and leisure. It was developed with the participation of Bai Yifan's cousin. It has just entered the trial operation stage and only people in the circle have been notified. It is not really open to the public.

The villa is built on the mountainside and beside the water, covering a large area. In addition to the hot springs on the mountain, there are also various fruit forests, lakes, flower fields and other original ecological recreational places.

As for accommodation, the entertainment rooms on the top two floors and the bar on the basement floor have everything you need.
