Chapter 71 The Vicious Female Supporting Character's Charming Sister 4

The second floor was in complete chaos at this time. The soothing and cheerful music was still playing, and several person-high chandeliers shone brightly, illuminating the dance floor in the center.

The dance floor, which should have been filled with people dancing, was now empty of guests. Countless guests, sensing the atmosphere of gossip, had already flocked to the first floor.

The front of the first floor of Guanghua Hotel is an open reception hall and a small lounge, which also houses some small shops and cafes for guests.

The backyard was fenced off, creating a small garden with flowers, transplanted lawns, and a rockery. The center of the garden was hollowed out to create an artificial lake. The water was so clear that you could even spot fish darting by from the lake's bottom.

Guanghua Hotel receives visitors from all over the world. This small garden is generally provided for guests staying in the hotel to appreciate and visit. It is a place to relieve stress and fatigue.

By this time, the small lake was already filled with onlookers. Because it was a youngster's birthday, most of the people present were second-generation members of various families. Their expressions remained elegant, but their eyes were filled with intense interest.

On the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, the eldest daughter of the Gu family got into a fight with her cousin, and both ended up in the swimming pool. This was big news. It seemed likely that these two daughters of the Gu family would become the talk of the town for the next few days.

At this time, the two protagonists had been rescued to the shore and were covered with the large white towels provided by the hotel.

September in the north still carries the heat of late summer during the day, but at night, without the scorching sun, the temperature drops quickly.

The two girls were only wearing a thin dress and were soaked all over. Even though they were covered with towels, they were still shivering in the cold wind.

Gu's father and mother also received the news quickly. Father Gu smiled apologetically at the guest he was chatting with. His expression remained unchanged, but he quickened his pace and hurried towards the lake with his mother, whose face had become slightly gloomy.

When the guests saw the host family coming, they all made way for them, and Gu's father and mother quickly walked up to them.

Noticing the teasing and malicious comments directed at the Gu family by some of the guests around them, Mother Gu's expression became increasingly grim, and she could no longer maintain her usual elegant smile.

"What happened? How did you all fall into the lake?" After exhaling the foul air in her chest, Mother Gu forced a gentle smile and asked softly.

She had a smile on her face and spoke softly, but her eyes were cold as she looked at the two girls sitting on the ground. "I've already warned you guys before. You can go to the lake to enjoy the breeze, but you have to be careful. The path by the lake is slippery and you could easily fall if you're not careful. But you didn't listen."

Gu Nanyuan could no longer hear what her mother was saying. She had lived a hard life in an orphanage when she was a child and her health had never been very good. Now that she was soaked all over and was exposed to the wind, she began to feel dizzy and heavy.

"Yuanyuan!"

Hearing this urgent voice, Gu Nanyuan struggled to look up, and sure enough, she saw a familiar figure in white running towards her.

"elder sister……"

When Nan Qiao saw her sister half lying on the ground, her pupils shrank slightly and her heart suddenly tightened. She ran over quickly and wanted to hug her sister who was soaked all over.

But as soon as his hand touched her body, he was startled by the coolness of her skin. Nan Qiao panicked a little, but she still hugged her sister tightly in her arms, but her eyes turned red and tears flowed in her eyes.

At this time, everyone also focused their attention on the girl who suddenly appeared.

The girl was wearing long pants and long sleeves, wrapped tightly, and had a mask on her face, so her appearance could not be seen clearly.

But everyone heard the eldest lady of the Gu family call "sister" just now.

Recalling a rumor that had been circulating in their circle, everyone's eyes when looking at the eldest daughter of the Gu family suddenly became a little meaningful.

Mother Gu was also shocked by the sudden situation, but she didn't care about anything else at this moment. The reputation of the Gu family was the most important thing, so she hurriedly wanted to give a wink to her husband beside her.

However, before Father Gu could say anything, Bai Li beside him said casually, "So you are Yuanyuan's sister?"

"No wonder Yuanyuan was so emotional when I mentioned you just now." Bai Li patted her chest, as if she was still frightened.

Mother Gu's expression changed slightly: "Lili, what nonsense are you talking about? Yuanyuan doesn't have any sister."

Bai Li's face stiffened slightly, and annoyance appeared between her brows, as if she was blaming herself for not changing her words.

She was lying alone on the shore, her whole body wet, her hair disheveled, and she stared at her aunt eagerly, as if she had realized that she had said something wrong, which made Mother Gu feel pity for her.

"Mom, let's let them clean up first." Gu Zhuo suggested as he glanced at the girl who was holding someone in her arms.

Father Gu also came back to his senses at this time, and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, it's cold outside, let's go into the hotel."

Gu Zhuo looked at his good friend who was standing beside him with his hands in his pockets. His fine black hair fell over his forehead. He lowered his brows and his eyes, hidden in the darkness, were looking at somewhere unknown.

Knowing his friend's obsessive-compulsive disorder, Gu Zhuo didn't ask him for help. He just asked the bodyguard to help Bai Li, who was still sitting on the ground, into the house. Then he took a few steps forward and said hesitantly, "Let me carry Yuan Yuan into the house. It's cold outside..."

Nan Qiao still had tears in her eyes. She was extremely scared and her hands were shaking. She looked hesitantly at the tall and cold man in front of her. Knowing that he wanted to take her sister into the house, she quickly tried to stand up.

But she had been weak since childhood and had low blood sugar. After squatting for a few minutes and standing up, she suddenly felt dizzy, her brain was dizzy, and her whole body fell backwards.

Just when Nan Qiao thought she was going to fall backwards to the ground, a hot big hand wrapped around her slender waist. The hand exerted a little force, and the girl fell forward, her cheek hitting a solid and broad chest.

"careful."

The face hidden under the mask turned slightly pale. Nan Qiao took a few deep breaths in shock. After she managed to calm down, she found that she was actually nestled in a man's arms. Her face turned red in an instant.

"Thanks!"

Nan Qiao hurriedly took a few steps back from the man's arms and thanked him with a blushing face.

"You're welcome." The man's lazy voice with a hint of smile sounded, causing the heat on Nan Qiao's face to continue to rise until it spread to his ears.

Zuo Yan looked at the girl in front of him, who was as uneasy as a rabbit, with great interest.

Tsk, my earlobes are all red!

Staring at the girl with her face downcast, he had excellent eyesight. Even in the dim light, he could easily notice the blush on the girl's jade-like earlobe.

The tip of the tongue lightly touched the lower jaw, and the heart that had been calm for more than twenty years seemed to be stirred by the crimson and gradually began to ripple.

Nan Qiao did not notice the look in the man's eyes opposite her in the dark night. Seeing the man carrying her sister into the hotel, she hurriedly followed him into the hotel. The Gu family also booked some rooms on the second floor, originally intending to provide a rest space for guests, which now came in handy.

Gu Zhuo carried the person into the house, and Nan Qiao, who wanted to follow, was stopped. Nan Qiao looked at the elegant woman who was blocking her way with some bewilderment.

"Sorry, miss, please don't come in." Mother Gu forced herself to cheer up and looked at the tightly wrapped girl in front of her.

"I want to go in and see Yuanyuan, is that okay? I'm Yuanyuan's sister...Yuanyuan's friend?" Nan Qiao couldn't help but plead.

Her sister's condition just now really made her worried.

No matter what, she had to see that Yuanyuan was safe before she could leave.

Gossip is human nature. When the girl who suddenly broke in finally spoke, everyone finally perked up and listened carefully.

Unexpectedly, a soft and pleasant sound rushed into my cochlea. Hiss, this sound is so beautiful.

Several second-generation people with voice-controlled attributes couldn't help but light up their eyes when they heard the girl's gentle and beautiful voice.

Mother Gu was also a little surprised that the girl in front of her had such a good voice, but no matter how unexpected it was, this girl had no connection with their Gu Nanyuan.

Gu Nanyuan is the eldest daughter of the Gu family, who was cultivated with countless efforts. If others knew that she was just an adopted daughter of the Gu family, then all the resources invested by the Gu family in her would be in vain, and the potential marriage partners in the future would be greatly reduced.

"My dear lady, I am Yuanyuan's mother, and I know a little bit about her social circle. I have never heard of you from Yuanyuan..."

"And the fact that you're harassing my daughter in such a covert way really makes me wonder if you have some ulterior motive."

Mother Gu had a smile on her face and her tone was gentle and soft, but her words contained a warning.

"I'm not a bad guy who hides his face. I'm just a little worried about Yuanyuan. I just want to see her..."

Nan Qiao was raised at home since she was a child and seldom interacted with anyone other than her mother and brother. Seeing so many people's eyes focused on her, she felt a little flustered.

At this moment, she was a little frightened by what Gu's mother said. Her jade-white fingers curled slightly, but she still explained weakly.

But before she could finish her words, she saw the tall man who had just carried her sister into the room walk out of the room, his eyes lighting up.

She couldn't help but greet him, her eyes filled with anticipation and anxiety, and asked, "Sir...how is Yuanyuan now?"

Gu Zhuo paused and glanced at the girl. He couldn't see her face clearly, but her sparkling eyes, which were reflecting the bright lights, were staring at him closely, which made him feel a little nervous for no reason.

"It's nothing serious, don't worry." After coming back to his senses, Gu Zhuo frowned and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Nan Qiao's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed a little, and the tension in his eyes also dissipated a lot.

However, her eyes were still fixed on the door not far away.

......She still wanted to go in and see her sister.

"Sir, can I go in and take a look at her? I'll just take a look and leave, okay?" As if realizing that the man in front of her was easy to talk to, Nan Qiao begged again.

Gu Zhuo met the girl's hopeful eyes, frowned slightly, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a voice from behind him.

"Miss, my aunt's concerns are actually quite reasonable." A soft female voice sounded.

Bai Li slowly walked out from behind Gu Zhuo. She had gone into the house to rest for a while. She no longer looked as disheveled as before, with her body soaked and her hair disheveled.

She changed into a light blue dress, with a gentle smile and a gentle and elegant temperament.

She looked at the masked girl in the middle of the dance floor with some embarrassment and said apologetically, "Yuanyuan just fell into the water and is still half conscious. We don't know if you are Yuanyuan's friend, so how can we let you get close to her?"

"Besides," Bai Li gently walked to Gu's mother, took her hand, and smiled generously: "Besides, if you are really Yuanyuan's good friend, why would you be so secretive to attend Yuanyuan's coming-of-age ceremony?"

"Logically speaking, since they are Yuanyuan's friends and come to attend her coming-of-age ceremony, they are guests of our Gu family no matter what. We will welcome them."

"It's just that I didn't see you at the banquet just now. You were wearing a mask on your face, so you probably didn't get in with an invitation."

Betty paused for a moment, then continued, feeling pleased when the girl didn't deny it.

"How can we let you go and see Yuanyuan without worrying about such a sneaky behavior?"

Bai Li's words were full of emotion and every word made sense. Her manners and speech were graceful and elegant. Even the people who were watching the show couldn't help but admire her.

Mother Gu patted Bai Li's hand with satisfaction, then looked at Nan Qiao beside her:

"Lili is right. My words were a bit harsh, but Yuanyuan is my biological daughter. As a mother, it's inevitable that I would think more about my children. I hope Miss can understand." Mother Gu calmed down and said with a pleasant face.

"Even if you really are my daughter's friend, the fact that you came to her coming-of-age ceremony and were so secretive about it forces me to re-evaluate my daughter's friendships."

This is a bit harsh.

Gu Zhuo and Zuo Yan frowned unconsciously after hearing this, and Zuo Yan said directly:

"Auntie, that's a bit harsh."

He looked at the girl who was only a few steps away from him. Her thin clothes still had water stains from holding her. She stared stubbornly at the door behind him.

Logically speaking, this is the Nan family's family affair and he shouldn't be involved.

He just sighed lightly, took a few steps towards the girl and whispered, "You go back first. If Nan Yuan wakes up later, I'll ask her to contact you." His voice was unconsciously gentle, like coaxing.

The girl was stunned and didn't react at all, her eyes still fixed on the door that was so close to her, as if she wanted to see her sister's situation clearly through the door.

Bai Li glanced at the second generation who were still paying close attention to the situation here, her eyes moved slightly, and her gaze fell quietly on the girl wearing a mask.

Since they are sisters, they should look similar...

"Miss, would you mind taking off your mask and asking the hotel to register your identity?" She smiled gently. "As you know, the guests attending this banquet are all prominent figures, surrounded by bodyguards. An unidentified person suddenly barging in could easily pose a threat to the guests' safety."

"Of course, don't worry. If nothing goes wrong later, we will definitely not disturb you. This is also our Gu family's responsibility to our guests."

Nan Qiao came back to his senses, frowned slightly, and was obviously unwilling to do what the other party said.

Gu Zhuo said in a cold tone, "No need for that. Apart from you falling into the water, nothing else happened at the party."

Mother Gu glanced at her son disapprovingly and said, "Lili is really thoughtful. If a guest loses something valuable later, it will be easier for us to handle it."

“There are surveillance cameras.”

"What's the point of having surveillance? She's wearing a mask and her face can't be seen clearly. Even if there is surveillance, we won't be able to find her."

His words seemed to indicate that the other party had done something shameful.

Zuo Yan's expression turned cold. For the first time, he realized the harshness of the words of Aunt Gu, who he thought was gentle and kind.

"Okay, I get it." Nan Qiao, who had a gentle personality, felt her face turn cold when she heard people making such speculations.

"I'll just pick it."

As he spoke, he pulled off the mask on his face, and his face was completely exposed under the bright light.

The author has something to say:

I just realized that I didn’t set an update time for the next chapter. I’m sorry! Please prepay, please prepay!

People say it’s awkward to take off your mask suddenly, so I changed it!

Mrs. Gu’s reputation was further enhanced by her harshness.

And there is Miss Bai Lili who is working diligently to pull Gu Nanyuan down from the position of the eldest daughter of the Gu family!
