Chapter 77 The Vicious Female Supporting Character's Charming Sister 10

Even though there was a hint of disagreement between the two of them, the scene still felt familiar.

Bai Li did not leave with those people, but continued to stand by the dining table. After realizing that the people present seemed to have completely ignored her, a look of embarrassment and helplessness appeared on her face.

It wasn't until Gu Zhuo noticed her that she sat down with an awkward expression. Seeing that their greetings had ended, Bai Li smiled slightly.

"I was just here with some friends to see Young Master Chu's private island, but I didn't expect to run into you guys, big brother."

She turned her gaze to Zuo Yan: "I never thought that Brother Zuo and Master Chu would have such a relationship."

Zuo Yan simply smiled and said nothing. His relationship with Chu Xiao was no secret within the industry, but given their age difference and personalities, and their separate circles of friends, it wasn't often mentioned.

Bai Li continued, "It's rare for us to get together, so we can have some fun together this time."

As she spoke, she shifted her gaze to Nan Qiao who had put down his chopsticks across from her.

"Hello, Miss Nan, my name is Bai Li, and I'm Yuan Yuan's cousin. You're so pretty!"

She had a warm look, spoke cheerfully, and was full of enthusiasm to make friends.

Nan Qiao also recognized the girl opposite him. She was the girl who fell into the lake with his sister, and the Bai Li that his sister mentioned she didn't like.

Although it's not good to judge people by appearance, this kind of girl... apart from the fact that her enthusiasm made her feel a little uncomfortable, there was nothing wrong with her.

Nan Qiao pondered in her heart. Even though she knew her sister disliked the other person, she still smiled and replied:

"Hello, I'm Nan Qiao, Yuan Yuan's sister."

Bai Li seemed very happy to hear Nan Qiao's reply, and even the smile on her face instantly became brighter.

Gu Nanyuan frowned slightly, not fooled by the other party's warm smile. After dealing with Bai Li in the past few years, she knew very well that the other party was a guy who would not do anything without profit. Now she was smiling warmly, but she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

Seeing that her sister had eaten her fill, Gu Nanyuan quickly said, "Sister, I'm so tired after taking a plane and a boat today." She looked expectant and said, "Let's go take a hot spring bath and rest early after that!"

Looking at the bruises under his sister's eyes, Nan Qiao felt a little distressed.

"Okay, then we'll go back to the room first. You can take your time."

It was already getting dark, and the lights were on in the house. Gu Zhuo called a servant over to lead the way, and also reminded them: "Don't stay in the hot spring for too long, fifteen minutes is enough."

He paused, his eyes shifting slightly to the girl's cheek, which looked a little pale under the light, and said in a slightly lower voice: "I will ask the family doctor to come over in half an hour."

Nan Qiao was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "I see. Thank you...Brother Gu."

After the two sisters left, the originally harmonious atmosphere completely sank. Bai Li glanced at the three people who had stopped eating after they left, and said, observing their expressions:

"Brother, I'm going back first. I'm really tired today."

Gu Zhuo nodded, knowing that his cousin didn't eat much, so he asked someone to pack some food for her to take back.

There were only three people left at the table.

The smile on Zuo Yan's face completely disappeared. He slowly twirled his hands with a handkerchief, then looked up at Chu Xiao and said, "Why are you here?" Logically speaking, isn't this the day for the Chu family to get together?

Chu Xiao: "Can't I be here?"

Zuo Yan frowned: "The Chu family didn't let anyone go back?"

Chu Xiao said nonchalantly: "Isn't my dad still here? It doesn't matter if I'm not here anymore."

Zuo Yan stopped asking questions, but the doubts that had been hidden in his heart for a long time had now been completely answered.

Ever since the girl showed up at her coming-of-age ceremony and went to school, she has been the target of many covetous glances.

Even if he sent people to deal with all the secret actions of those who coveted the girl, as a staff member outside the school, he still could not stop the swarm of admirers inside Q University.

She seemed to have no idea about her appearance. She went to class and studied as usual every day, not noticing the undercurrents around her.

If there were no one secretly manipulating and arranging things in the school, the endless pursuit of love, various confessions, and countless gifts would completely disrupt the tranquility of the girl's school life.

After all, in this era of developed Internet and mobile phones in everyone's hands, any photo of a girl may cause a huge sensation.

In order to protect her peace and tranquility, many people made great efforts and arrangements in places she could not see.

It seemed that he had no interest in the two-day fight. Gu Zhuo continued to eat with a blank expression and did not pay any attention to the conversation between the two.

But Zuo Yan had no intention of letting him go, and his eyes immediately passed over the face of President Gu, who was notoriously cold and ruthless.

"How did the Qi family offend you to be so cruel?"

The Gu family experienced several changes after Gu Zhuo took over. Gu Zhuo's reputation was well-known, and the second generation in the circle dared not to provoke him easily.

But recently, the Qi family somehow offended Gu Zhuo, who intercepted two major projects of the Qi family at once, causing the Qi family to lose a lot of money.

Gu Zhuo: "It's just normal business dealings."

"Business dealings?" Zuo Yan repeated these four words, but he didn't believe it in his heart.

The Qi family has already suffered serious damage, so how can this be considered a normal business transaction?

Thinking of the second young master of the Qi family who had been very active recently, a cold light flashed in Zuo Yan's eyes, and he did not continue to ask.

After all, no matter what the other party's intention is in causing trouble for the Qi family, it will always be beneficial to oneself.

After drinking the red wine in his hand again, Zuo Yan stood up and walked out.

"I'm tired today, so I'll go back to my room."

He said he was going back to his room, but he turned a corner and came to Nan Qiao's door and knocked.

The light was still on in the room, and soon the door opened. The girl looked like she had just showered, her hair was wet and dripping with water.

Looking at the man standing outside the door, the girl smiled and said, "Brother Zuo, is there something wrong?"

Zuo Yan curled his lips: "It's okay, I just saw that you didn't look well, so I came to check on you."

Nan Qiao said with a hint of gratitude: "Thank you, Brother Zuo. The doctor just came to see me and there's nothing serious."

Zuo Yan: "I'm glad you're alright. Go to bed early then."

The door was half open, and half of the man's face was hidden in the darkness. Only his cold white chin could be seen, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Brother Zuo...did something happen to you?"

Nan Qiao was a little confused. Why...why did he feel that the other party seemed a little angry?

It's like suppressing anger...

Zuo Yan put his hands behind his back, his face still covered with an impeccable smile. "It's okay, I just drank some red wine and my face is a little flushed. You should go and rest. I heard there's a botanical garden on the island. If you're interested, I'll take you there tomorrow."

Nan Qiao also smelled a faint scent of alcohol, but seeing that there was indeed no change in the man's face, she did not ask any further questions.

"Then Brother Zuo should also go to bed early. Good night."

"good evening."

Zuo Yan watched the girl with gentle eyes and eyebrows close the door, and the whole person fell into darkness.

Looking at the messages from his subordinates on the phone, he curled his lips and sent a message.

No matter what, anyone who dares to use dirty means against her.

He won't let any of them go.

......

In the early morning, Gris Island is very peaceful and quiet, and the calm sea is dark blue and deep.

Gu Nanyuan was a person who couldn't calm down. While eating breakfast, she was browsing her phone and excitedly telling her sister where she wanted to go for fun.

"Sister, let's go to the beach later. There are sea scooters there, and... Oh my gosh! What's going on with the Qi family?"

Gu Nanyuan, who was enjoying the show, was a little excited and surprised. She glanced at the WeChat group for a few seconds, then quickly turned to look at Gu Zhuo and asked, "Brother, what's going on with the Qi family?"

Why was everyone in the group saying that the Qi family's stock price had plummeted and they were about to go bankrupt? Although she looked down on the Qi family, it was still a large enterprise worth hundreds of billions. How could it be on the verge of bankruptcy?

Over the past year, Gu Nanyuan had become quite familiar with this cheap brother, so she sat down next to him and asked:

"Brother, how did the Qi family offend you?"

Why are they all saying that it was the Gu family who did it?

Gu Zhuo picked up the coffee and took a sip: "Normal business dealings."

You killed someone during normal business dealings?

Gu Nanyuan looked unconvinced, and it was obvious that he had ignored her after he finished speaking, and she felt that she had asked for trouble. Thinking of that sinister Qi Sheng, Gu Nanyuan admitted that she was a little gloating.

He was the one who jumped the highest on the night of her coming-of-age ceremony! And after the ceremony, he came to pester her sister more than once or twice, like a dog-skin plaster.

Tsk, now you’re finally unlucky!

Gu Nanyuan openly gloated over her misfortune and even echoed a few words in the group. Then she put down her phone and started to act coquettishly by hugging her sister again.

"Sister, let's go to the beach and have a spa treatment later!"

The sun is too strong, and although her sister has good skin, she still needs to take care of her sister.

The air conditioner was on in the room. She hugged her sister's slender neck and almost lay on Nan Qiao.

Gu Zhuo looked at his sister who was clinging to the girl like a koala without any emotion, and turned the cup in his hand slightly.

Zuo Yan, who was also drinking strong tea, also glanced at her.

Gu Nanyuan shuddered and looked at the air conditioner above her head with some confusion.

Why is it suddenly so cold?

However, the carefree Gu Nanyuan didn't care. It was a rare opportunity for her to get out, so she pulled her sister's hand and started playing.

Jet scooter, surfing, beach volleyball... On the fourth day, we got up early to watch the sunset.

The red sun slowly rises above the horizon, and the first ray of sunlight shines on the girl's eyebrows, making her stunningly beautiful.

Gu Nanyuan looked at her sister who had been accompanying her with satisfaction, and the depression between her brows seemed to have completely dissipated.

She took her sister's hand and looked at her smiling gently at her. She seemed to remember what she said in the orphanage in a trance.

"Look, the sea on TV is so beautiful! Can you take me there? Let's watch the sunset and eat coconuts..."

"Okay, when we grow up, I will take you there..."

"Can't we go now? Why do we have to wait until we grow up? It takes a long, long time to grow up..."

"Because we are still children, the sea is so far away, and children can't go there alone..."

"Then when will I grow up..."

"I heard from the director's mom that people are considered adults only when they are eighteen. So, they should be eighteen, right?"

"Ah, one, two, three, four... eighteen. That's going to take a long time..."

"It doesn't matter. No matter how long it takes, I will always accompany you..."
