If Gu Yanci knew that because he insisted on taking Chu Xingyue home, Chu Jiaojiao had less time to spend with her sister, he would definitely be speechless.

The car slowly stopped at the entrance of an upscale residential area. The security guard at the gate ran up with what looked like a stun gun to verify Gu Yanci's identity.

Gu Yanci dialed Fang Jie's number and handed it directly to the deliveryman.

"Okay, Brother Fang!" After hanging up the phone, the young man smiled broadly and took out the remote key clipped to his waist.

"Please take care!"

Gu Yanci smiled and took two packs of cigarettes from the front pocket of the passenger seat and handed them over.

The young man's eyes lit up with joy when he saw the expensive cigarettes in his hand; he wished he could drive Gu Yanci and the others inside himself.

After the car window closed, Chu Jiaojiao turned around and saw the security guard carefully putting the cigarette into the large pocket of his down jacket.

"Brother Gu, didn't that person already open the door? Why did you give him two hundred yuan worth of cigarettes that looked expensive?" Chu Jiaojiao asked with a puzzled look.

“We’re complete strangers to him. The call went through just now. If it hadn’t gone through, there would have been no way we could have gotten in today. Since the call went through, I politely gave him two packs of cigarettes that weren’t worth much to me. Next time he calls, I won’t need to make that call again, and I won’t need to give him cigarettes again.” Gu Yanci patiently explained the reason to Chu Jiaojiao.

"Is this a case of 'it's better to offend a gentleman than a petty person'?" Chu Jiaojiao asked, tilting her head.

"Smart, she gets it right away." Gu Yanci praised Chu Jiaojiao with a smile.

"So sometimes, people you don't pay attention to can have unexpected results at crucial moments," Gu Yanci said, seeing the girl's enlightened expression.

"Thank you, Brother Gu!" Although Chu Jiaojiao didn't like Gu Yanci a little, she wasn't ungrateful. If someone helps you understand something and helps you see the truth, you should thank them.

Don't think that just because you've given me a lecture, I'll suddenly like you.

Gu Yanci read the meaning in Chu Jiaojiao's eyes, shook his head with a bit of a laugh, and thought, "She's still just a child!"

The car drove into the innermost townhouse courtyard, entered the garage, and the garage door slowly lowered, shutting out the cold outside.

Several people were already waiting at the garage entrance, and they greeted the group warmly as they came down.

"Sister, Jiaojiao, you're here!" Xia Yiyang quickly greeted Gu Yanci when she saw him driving, and then hurried over to her sisters.

"Yangyang, how did you get here? Is your aunt alright?" Chu Xingyue asked Xia Yiyang, still a little worried.

“Brother Fang picked me up. Grandma is fine now, just a little unwell. She had just taken her medicine and gone to sleep when I arrived.”

Chu Xingyue wasn't wearing a hat or mask today. The team members were a little incredulous when they saw Chu Xingyue's appearance. Were they sure she wasn't some star who hadn't even debuted yet?

That look is just too striking!

The team consisted mostly of young boys, and they were a bit overwhelmed by Chu Xingyue's beauty. Several of them almost tripped and fell while going upstairs.

Y1 looked at these good-for-nothing lads, acting like they'd never seen a beautiful woman before. It was truly embarrassing.

But Y1 couldn't help but sigh inwardly, Chu Xingyue's appearance was just too outstanding. It was a good thing she didn't show up yesterday, otherwise she would have been a nightmare on the field.
