Chapter 27 Young Master Gu Asks for Her

The people around were stunned after hearing this:

"Shouldn't the two girls sleep on the bed and the brother sleep on the sofa? Why is it arranged like this?"

"Although the hotel has carpets, isn't the carpet dirty? Is she a younger sister? I don't think she is much younger than this girl."

"They rented a room and asked me to sleep on the carpet. I suddenly understand why they were unhappy about it."

Qin Ruolan also heard the discussion of the people around her. Just as she was about to change her words and explain, Qin Bingwu spoke before her:

"Don't get me wrong, my sister has been like this since she was little, she doesn't like sleeping in the same bed with others.

We are twins, and we are only about ten minutes apart.

When we were little, she and I both slept with our mother. She complained every day that I kicked her and made her sleep uneasily. Finally, I was arranged to sleep in a small bed so that she could have her mother's arms all to herself.

Later, when I was in elementary school, I shared a room with her. She said that my snoring kept her awake and affected her studies, so my eldest brother forced me to sleep in the kitchen so that she could have a room to herself.

It’s too hot in the summer, so my sister can turn on the air conditioner, but I can only use the fan in the kitchen. She says the fan is too noisy, which makes her irritable and gives her nightmares. My eldest brother told me that if I calm down, I will feel cooler.

It was so cold in winter and I wanted to close the windows, but my sister said she could smell the fumes and felt sick. My brother told me that I couldn't ignore the lives of the whole family.

I slept in the kitchen until I was eighteen. I had to put my things into the utility room every morning and then make my bed again at night. My bed was just a wooden board, and I often saw cockroaches and rats.

"It's okay. The hotel carpet is at least cleaner than the kitchen at home. I want to thank my sister for at least leaving me a place to sleep instead of having to sleep on the street." Qin Bingwu's eyes became moist as she spoke.

From childhood to adulthood, they have been using the trick of saying that she owes Qin Ruolan to force her to make concessions. They often say that they will abandon her and let her become a beggar, that they don't want her as a burden, and that she is unlikable and annoying.

She was so scared that she wanted to prove that she was not bad, wanted to get their approval, and wanted to be better than Qin Ruolan.

But no matter what she did, it was wrong.

Now she has come to terms with it. As long as I know that I am a good person, it doesn’t matter what others think of me.

She was thin to begin with, and years of working, not eating enough, and not sleeping well made her body particularly frail. Compared with Qin Ruolan, who was raised in the palm of her hand, although they looked the same, their complexions were obviously much different.

The onlookers were all speechless, and some even had tears in their eyes:

"What kind of family are these? They are worse than animals."

"What's that bullshit? Why don't he just try sleeping in the kitchen?"

"That's right. We still have to consider the lives of our entire family. Doesn't her life matter?"

"Just now, this girl was trying to grab the room card and let her find a place to stay on her own. She didn't even consider whether she, a girl, would be in danger at this late hour."

"Hearing the way my sister just arranged things, I know what she said is true. I can't give in to family members like this. You can sleep wherever you want. It's none of my business."

"He's so bad to his own sister, and he's still trying to become a civil servant. Is he a good servant of the people?"

The people around them all pointed their fingers at Qin Chunhe and Qin Ruolan, their expressions changing from dark to white.

"Qin Xiaocao, what nonsense are you talking about? How could we treat you like this?"

Qin Ruolan argued with a red face, Qin Bingwu's eyes were red, and her voice was cold:

"No? Didn't you post a nine-square grid on your Moments where you blocked everyone but me, mocking me for sleeping worse than a dog? I have a screenshot. Do you want me to show it to you?"

Qin Ruolan's face changed, and she felt guilty. She had done this before, just to make Qin Xiaocao jealous of her, but she didn't expect that it would become a proof now:

"Ahem... I... I'm not feeling well... I made this arrangement for my big brother's sake... Big brother, I..."

Qin Chunhe rubbed Qin Ruolan's back with a distressed look on his face, and said to Qin Bingwu fiercely:

"That's enough. We'll find a hotel ourselves. Aren't you just jealous that we like Ruolan but not you? If you don't want to help, just say so. There's no need to say anything else here."

Qin Chunhe helped Qin Ruolan leave angrily. Gu Sishao clenched his fists and shouted at the two of them:

"I would rather give this place to a dog than to you guys."

Qin Chunhe paused and walked away even faster.

Qin Ruolan wiped her tears and cried:

"Brother, it's all my fault. I messed up. You have an exam tomorrow. If I were your older sister, I would let you stay here even if I had to sleep on the street tonight.

I have posted those on WeChat Moments before, but I was young and ignorant at that time. I didn’t expect that my sister would keep it in mind and transfer her resentment towards you, big brother.

Brother, will you blame me?"

Qin Chunhe couldn't bear to blame her:

"If you hadn't stopped her in time, she probably wouldn't even want to see us. Ruolan, how could Big Brother blame you? You are innocent.

This is not your fault. It's Qin Xiaocao who is heartless and materialistic.

Let’s go and find a hotel somewhere else.”

In the hotel.

Lying on the big bed in the presidential suite, Qin Bingwu thought about the time when she accompanied her elder brother to Sui City in her previous life.

Although she had booked a hotel room long ago, the price was too expensive, so she only booked one room and she actually slept on the floor that night.

At that time, my eldest brother was still very unhappy:

"What's wrong with spending a few more dollars? Look, I can't concentrate on my studies with you here. If I don't do well on the test tomorrow, you will be fully responsible."

She was kicked out of the room by her eldest brother. As a little girl who was unfamiliar with the place, she didn't dare to go anywhere else. She just wandered around the hotel lobby until two in the morning before going upstairs. During that time, her eldest brother didn't call her once.

Qin Bingwu didn't think any more, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

After Secretary Li returned, he reported everything that happened in the hotel to Gu Sinian.

Gu Sinian was originally looking at the official document, but when he heard that Qin Bingwu had to sleep on the floor, could not use a fan in the summer, and could not close the windows in the winter, he almost crushed the document.

He thought for two seconds and called Gu Siyan:

"Brother, Xiaowu came to the Gu family, you should have investigated some things..."

In the president's office of Gu's Group, Gu Siyan heard the second brother calling Qin Bingwu "Xiao Wu" on the phone, and a dark light appeared in the man's eyes:

"That's right."

"She came to Sui City today and encountered some problems. I want to verify the authenticity with you."

"you say."

"Did she really grow up sleeping in the kitchen when she was in the Qin family?"

"...Hmm." Gu Siyan's eyes swept across a thin folder on the upper right corner of the desk, which contained information about Qin Bingwu.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone:

"I originally thought she made it up, but it seems to be true. She really is a poor little thing."

"What happened?"

Gu Sinian briefly relayed the secretary's words:

"...Now that she's in the Gu family, considering how pitiful she was before, you should be less critical of her in the future. Just think of it as poverty alleviation and helping left-behind children in the mountainous areas."

Gu Siyan's voice was deep:

"Is this an opportunity to speak to me specifically on her behalf?"

"...If you can't accept it, I can bring her to Sui City. I think she should be easy to raise, and she can be away from her family this way."
