Chapter 21 He must capture this scoundrel Huo Sinian alive!

Huo Sinian was not the kind of person who would act without a purpose. Gu Nansheng immediately became serious, took the information and began to look through it.

However, the more she looked, the heavier her expression became.

She just wanted to investigate the information of the Chen siblings but she didn't expect to bring up such a thing - Chen Jiayan's father Chen Ang suddenly resigned from the research institute after her father passed away, and later became rich by selling new material patents!

For a moment, Gu Nansheng felt as if she had found some key. She never believed in coincidences. Many seemingly accidental things were actually inevitable.

There must be a connection here!

Could Chen Ang be related to her parents' death? And were her brother's death and her sudden car accident in the original novel really just accidents?

The extremely kind family described in the original book seemed to be more complicated than she had imagined.

However, there is still a lack of evidence, and we can only find a way to find evidence when we contact the Chen siblings next time.

It was more than ten minutes later that Gu Nansheng came out of his thoughts and looked up at Huo Sinian again.

She said sincerely, "Huo Sinian, thank you. I didn't expect this investigation would yield such great results."

Huo Sinian shook his head. "No need to thank me between you and me. If you need anything else, just come to me."

Faced with Huo Sinian's goodwill, Gu Nansheng wanted to say some words of gratitude, but felt that nothing he said would be appropriate.

Finally, she smoothed her hair and changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this for now. Since we're near the university, let's go in for a walk. It's also a good time to digest our food."

Huo Sinian naturally would not refuse, so the two of them packed up their things and happily walked out of the hot pot restaurant.

*

At this time, Gu Beiming was standing under a tree by the road, staring straight at the door of the hot pot restaurant.

He originally thought that his sister and Huo Sinian would go to a high-end restaurant for a date. High-end restaurants always value privacy. Even if they don't sit in a private room, every seat should be covered. Then he would choose a place with a blind spot to sit down and monitor Huo Sinian.

Unexpectedly, they ended up at an affordable hotpot restaurant next to S University. The hotpot restaurant was completely exposed and open, and it was dinner time, so there was no place for him to sit.

Gu Beiming was unwilling to give up, so he bought a roujiamo and stood on the side of the road, eating while staring at the hot pot restaurant.

After waiting for about two hours, Gu Beiming was so tired that he squatted on the ground, when he finally saw two people walking out together.

He hid behind a tree and observed the two of them carefully. Their behavior was not very intimate, but his sister's mouth was a little red.

Gu Beiming's alarm bells immediately rang. Could Huo Sinian have forcefully kissed his sister? Sure enough, this guy was a beast in human form!

For a moment, Gu Beiming felt anger filling his brain, making him want to rush up and beat up Huo Sinian, the scoundrel.

But he finally held himself back. If it had already happened, hitting him now would be useless. He should just observe and try to kill him with one blow.

Then he followed the two of them into S University.

*

The environment of S University is very good, with mountains, water and green trees.

It was afternoon and the weather was not too sunny, so many students were walking around the campus.

Huo Sinian had already taken off his suit jacket and was holding it in his hand. He stood next to Gu Nansheng, who was wearing a beige slim dress. They were a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

Of course, Gu Nansheng had learned from her previous experience of being recognized several times, so this time she deliberately wore sunglasses and a hat.

But even so, the two of them were so outstanding in appearance that the students passing by would look at them from time to time.

Of course, as a top 2 university, the students of S University were much calmer than the general public. They only glanced at them secretly occasionally, and no one came forward to disturb them.

Gu Beiming followed behind the two of them and had to admit that they looked like a perfect couple. Moreover, Huo Sinian seemed to be very good at coaxing people. His sister laughed even more frequently than when she was with him!

He had to admit that no matter whether it was five years ago or now, Huo Sinian was very good at pleasing his sister. He could always make his sister happy, which made him feel ashamed.

Sometimes he felt vaguely that Huo Sinian was really a good match for his sister, if that guy wasn't so naive and always competing with him for his sister's attention.

At this time, Huo Sinian and Gu Nansheng suddenly turned left. Thanks to Gu Nansheng, Gu Beiming was also very familiar with the terrain of S University.

If I remember correctly, that place was a small forest. It was the place where various young couples from S University usually had their trysts. Huo Sinian really had no good intentions!

Gu Beiming was immediately furious and quickly followed him! This time he was determined to capture Huo Sinian, the scoundrel, alive!

*

Gu Nansheng felt a little tired after walking for more than half an hour. At this time, they were near a small woods. The woods not only had trees for shade but also many benches for people to rest. So he took Huo Sinian with him and walked over.

Only after the two of them sat down and Gu Nansheng looked at the young couples nearby did she suddenly remember the nickname of this grove - Lovers' Forest.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Gu Nansheng was deeply annoyed. Why did his brain always short-circuit after meeting Huo Sinian? Would he think that I was hinting at him?

She turned her head to look at Huo Sinian. Fortunately, there was no strange expression on Huo Sinian's face. He just continued to introduce to her the changes in the school over the past five years as before.

Gu Nansheng breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he probably didn't misunderstand.

Because of the shade of the trees and the fact that it wasn't too hot today, the breeze made it feel very refreshing.

Gu Nansheng gradually felt sleepy as the wind blew. She had the habit of taking a nap, and now it was time for her to take a nap.

Huo Sinian smiled and said, "You can lean on me and sleep for a while. I'll call you later."

Gu Nansheng really wanted to refuse, but his head was already starting to throb and he couldn't hold on any longer.

She no longer hesitated and said to Huo Sinian, "I'll only sleep for half an hour, just half an hour. You must remember to wake me up."

Huo Sinian smiled and said, "Okay."

Then Gu Nansheng fell asleep peacefully, but she had no intention of leaning on Huo Sinian's shoulder.

She knew how heavy a sleeping person was. If she really leaned over, half of Huo Sinian's body would probably be numb.

But after falling asleep, she had no control over her body's instincts.

Her body began to lean towards something beside her that she could rely on, and the softest and most reliable thing was Huo Sinian beside her.

So she leaned towards Huo Sinian instinctively, but her sleepy brain still retained a trace of rationality, and she pulled her body back in time at the moment when she was about to get close to him.

After pulling like this for several times, Huo Sinian sighed slightly, reached out his hand and leaned Gu Nansheng's head directly onto his shoulder.

Great, finally satisfied.

Looking at the beautiful face so close to him and feeling the slight weight on his shoulders, Huo Sinian felt an infinite sense of satisfaction in his heart.

If possible, he really wanted time to stop at this moment, and he also wanted Gu Nansheng to be able to lean on his shoulder at any time one day, not only when Gu Nansheng was asleep and unconscious.

It was midsummer and they were in the woods, so there was naturally no shortage of mosquitoes and insects.

Huo Sinian carefully controlled his body's stability while helping Gu Nansheng fan away the mosquitoes.

But this obviously greatly affected his performance, and a few annoying mosquitoes still flew onto Gu Nansheng's face.

He stretched out his hand to swat the mosquito away, but at the same time his fingers touched Gu Nansheng's fair cheek.

The touch was so good that Huo Sinian was reluctant to let go. Especially at this moment, Gu Nansheng's lips were still moving unconsciously, which made Huo Sinian's heart flutter, and he had an urge to kiss her directly.

However, Huo Sinian finally held back. He knew that this was very disrespectful to Gu Nansheng. If he really kissed her, they might not even be able to be friends.

Just as he was about to turn his head and look away from Gu Nansheng's face, a figure suddenly jumped out from nowhere and grabbed his collar.

"Huo Sinian, you scoundrel! How dare you do something indecent to my sister while she's sleeping? I'm going to beat you to death."

The man's voice sounded unfamiliar, but after hearing those words, Huo Sinian quickly remembered who the man in front of him was. This was Gu Beiming, the younger brother who had always followed behind Gu Nansheng.

I didn’t expect that in just five years, the little boy has grown up to this size.

But it seems that he seems to have a lot of opinions about himself. Has he ever offended him inadvertently?

Seeing that Gu Beiming's fist was about to swing towards him, Huo Sinian stretched out his hand to stop him and quickly explained, "Xiao Ming, stop, are you misunderstanding something? I was just chasing away mosquitoes for Nan Sheng."

However, Gu Beiming refused to believe him. "I saw you trying to do something inappropriate to my sister. How dare you quibble?"

After saying that, he stretched out his other hand and waved towards Huo Sinian.

Huo Sinian could no longer bear it when he saw this. He had learned fighting since he was a child, so dealing with a kid like Gu Beiming was no problem at all. He stretched out his hand and subdued Gu Beiming in a few moves.

The two of them made such a loud noise that even Gu Nansheng, who had a good sleep quality, woke up.

Because she had just woken up and was still a little confused, she thought she was dazzled when she saw Gu Beiming suddenly appear in front of her. After blinking hard and seeing the person again, she confirmed that Gu Beiming had really come.

Looking at the two people fighting, she quickly shouted, "What are you doing?! Stop it right now!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Sinian was the first to let go of his hand. He then stood up, straightened his sleeves, and said to Gu Nansheng, "Little Ming seemed to have misunderstood me just now, so his actions were a bit extreme. But you don't have to worry about me. I've been learning martial arts since I was a kid, and I won't be easily hurt. And don't worry, I only stopped Little Ming, I definitely didn't hurt him."

Listening to Huo Sinian's words, Gu Beiming was furious. This Huo Sinian was still as green tea as before. He always pretended to be clever and obedient in front of his sister, but in fact, every word he said was to frame him!

He said to Gu Nansheng, "Sister, don't believe him. I just saw him trying to kiss you secretly, so I stepped forward to stop him. He's a pervert!"

Huo Sinian, however, said to Gu Nansheng innocently, "Nansheng, a mosquito flew into your face and I was just trying to get rid of it. Maybe Xiaoming misunderstood after seeing me from the side."

Gu Nansheng remembered that he could always hear the buzzing of mosquitoes when he was asleep, and he immediately believed it.

And most importantly, she knew Huo Sinian's character very well and knew that he would never kiss her secretly.

She immediately turned her head and looked at Gu Beiming, "Xiao Ming, I think you must have misunderstood. There are indeed a lot of mosquitoes here, and Senior Huo is not that kind of person."

Seeing that his sister really believed Huo Sinian's lies, Gu Beiming became even angrier. Even if Huo Sinian really didn't want to kiss his sister secretly just now, he must have many secret thoughts about his sister.

Gu Nansheng could see what Gu Beiming was thinking. It didn’t matter whether they had a secret kiss or not. What mattered was that he didn’t want to get too close to Huo Sinian, and he didn’t want his sister, whom he depended on for survival, to be “stolen” by a man he didn’t trust.

She sighed and said to Gu Beiming, "Xiao Ming, you have to trust my judgment. The friends I make are all people of good character. But at the same time, you are the most important to me at all times. Do you really think that Senior Huo is the scoundrel you're calling him, so you don't want me to continue being friends with him?"

Gu Beiming was successfully appeased by Gu Nansheng's words "most important", and then he glared at Huo Sinian as if showing off.

Look, I'm always the most important person in my sister's heart! And now your power of life and death is in my hands~

He really wanted to tell his sister that Huo Sinian was a pervert and he didn't want Gu Nansheng to continue being friends with Huo Sinian.

However, thinking about how Huo Sinian had taken care of him over the years, and how happy his sister was when they were together just now, he could no longer say those words.

Of course, the most important thing is that he knows better than anyone else that Huo Sinian is not a bad person, and Huo Sinian's admiration for his sister is just a normal admiration between young men and women.

Besides, his sister is so outstanding, which man can not love her?

Thinking this way, his rejection of Huo Sinian was not as strong as before, but he could not say anything to "praise" Huo Sinian.

He thought for a moment before saying, "Sister, of course I trust your judgment. It's just that some people can be pretentious, and even if they're nice now, they might turn bad someday. So, sister, I have no objection to you and Mr. Huo continuing to be friends, but as your younger brother and the only male in the Gu family, I feel I have the right to exercise supervision. If you have any dates with Mr. Huo in the future, remember to bring me along."

Listening to Gu Beiming's words, Huo Sinian felt a little amused.

This kid really has some conscience but not much. He actually wants to participate in all his dates with Gu Nansheng like a burden. Fortunately, he didn't completely deny himself.

After all, he knew the position of Gu Beiming in Gu Nansheng's heart. If Gu Beiming really refused to let Gu Nansheng see him again, maybe Gu Nansheng would really compromise.

At this time, Gu Nansheng was also stunned for a moment after hearing Gu Beiming's words, but fortunately, Gu Beiming did not completely ruin the matter.

As for Gu Beiming's proposal to go with them, Gu Nansheng didn't think it would have much of an impact. After all, her relationship with Huo Sinian was now open and honest.

Thinking of this, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'm naturally happy that you are willing to care about me, but I'm just worried that you will feel bored."

Gu Beiming patted his chest and promised, "Sister, it won't happen."

After saying that, he glanced at Huo Sinian beside him, as if to say, "See? My sister always listens to me."

Huo Sinian's face showed no trace of anger after being provoked. Instead, he smiled gently. "If Xiaoming is willing to come, that's great. I can also help Xiaoming with his homework. I remember that Xiaoming will take the college entrance examination next year. Is he planning to go to a comprehensive university or an art college?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Nansheng's face showed a look of awakening. "Yes, I've been so busy since I got back that I forgot to pay attention to your homework. Xiaoming, although I don't require you to get into the best university, you still need to learn basic general education. Even if you want to be a singer or an actor in the future, without sufficient cultural knowledge, you won't be able to understand the connotations of the script and music."

Listening to Gu Nansheng's rambling, Gu Beiming was petrified. What the hell! Why was he suddenly talking about studying?

Huo Sinian is still as deep-minded as ever, with a cunning mind and the habit of shifting the blame to others. It turns out that he shouldn't have been so soft-hearted just now!

*

In the banquet hall of a five-star hotel, Chen Jiayan, wearing the latest season's haute couture dress, moved among the crowd of people.

Today is the annual charity dinner held by the Qin Group. As one of the top wealthy families in S City, the Qin Group has great reputation, so naturally there are many people coming to support it.

Except for families like the Huo family, which have conflicts of interest and no personal relationships, the upper class of S City can be said to have been everywhere.

Although the Chen family is wealthy, they are far from being able to associate with the Qin family. The reason why Chen Jiayan was able to attend is because she and the Qin family's daughter were college classmates.

She "took care" of Qin Qin, the daughter of the Qin family, for four years in college, successfully became Qin Qin's best friend, and broke into the circle of top socialites in S City.

Of course, her ultimate goal is not just to play around with these ladies who have no real power at all, she wants to become the top of the wealthy ladies circle in S City.

Of course, Chen Jiayan doesn't just care about money and power. She has very high requirements for the man's appearance and ability. Therefore, after careful selection, there are not many who meet her requirements.

In fact, she was most interested in Huo Sinian. After all, Huo Sinian was handsome and had taken over the Huo Group at a young age. In just five years, he increased the market value of the Huo Group several times.

She had met Huo Sinian several times at banquets and had tried to please Huo Sinian and get close to him, but Huo Sinian never paid any attention to her.

Of course, it wasn't just that he ignored her, but all the women at the party couldn't get close to him.

Helplessly, she had to give up Huo Sinian and turn her attention to Qin Shang, the prince of the Qin family.

Qin Shang is 29 years old this year. He is capable, but he is a playboy. He has had countless girlfriends since high school, and few relationships last more than three months.

Qin Shang likes beautiful women and naturally expressed his affection for her, but Chen Jiayan did not agree.

She knew that if she agreed, she would most likely become Qin Shang's short-term girlfriend like other women, which was not what she wanted.

But now, if she wants to deal with the Gu siblings quickly, she must rely on the power of the Qin family. After all, the Qin family is a major shareholder of many entertainment companies, and even the recording platform of "Tacit Understanding Challenge" has shares of the Qin family.

With the Qin family's support, would she still worry about not being able to suppress the Gu family siblings? She would let Gu Nansheng know what the true pinnacle of power is.

Soon, there was a burst of warm cheers from the banquet hall. Chen Jiayan looked towards the cheers and saw that it was the Qin family who came in together.

At this time, Qin Shang was wearing a slim black suit and following behind Qin's parents with a faint smile on his face. He looked really handsome.

Qin Shang was very good at socializing, nodding and greeting everyone around him.

Obviously he saw Chen Jiayan very quickly and raised his eyebrows to indicate.

Chairman Qin then came on stage to officially announce the start of the charity dinner, while Qin Shang unknowingly slipped to Chen Jiayan's side.

"You're such a rare guest. Xiaoqin invited you to her house before, but you never came. How come you finally came today?"

The reason why Chen Jiayan did not accept Qin Qin's invitation was naturally to keep Qin Shang hanging. After all, people often don't cherish things that are too easy to get.

Besides, how could a single girl like her go to the Qin family so often? Wouldn't that make people laugh? She was probably already suspected of trying to hook a rich man. She couldn't afford to jeopardize her reputation until she was sure.

Of course, she didn't completely avoid participating in the Qin family's activities. She had to appear in front of Qin Shang from time to time to make him remember her, such as today's charity event.

Of course, she wasn't here just to hang around in front of Qin Shang and make him feel itchy, so she smiled and said, "Today is a charity dinner, so of course I have to come here to contribute to charity."

Qin Shang also smiled, "Miss Chen is really kind-hearted. How about we dance the opening dance together later?"

Qin Shang made this suggestion not expecting Chen Jiayan to agree. After all, in the past, Chen Jiayan always refused on the grounds that she was not good at dancing.

Of course, he knew that Chen Jiayan was not as indifferent to fame and fortune as she appeared to be. In fact, Chen Jiayan could even be called ambitious, and many times her refusal was more of a retreat to advance.

But that's exactly why it's so challenging to conquer a woman like this, isn't it?

Besides, his parents were also very satisfied with Chen Jiayan. Although her family background was a little poor, she was rare in her gentleness and virtuousness, with a generous temperament and an impressive academic background.

If he were to be with Chen Jiayan, it would surely shut up his parents a lot.

However, to his surprise, Chen Jiayan nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Qin, but I guess many of the ladies here will be jealous of me. You must protect me when the time comes."

When this usually dignified lady said something that sounded like flirting, Qin Shang couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, as if a feather was stroking his heart, making him feel tingling.

However, he had seen countless women, so he quickly flirted back, "Of course, if I don't protect you, who should I protect?"

Chen Jiayan felt a little nauseous, but her smile was very gentle and sweet.

Soon the music started, and Qin Shang extended his hand as an invitation. "Ms. Jiayan, please."

The opening dance of the Qin family heir naturally attracted the attention of the whole audience. In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Qin Shang and Chen Jiayan.

Chen Jiayan didn't feel nervous at all despite being watched by so many people. Instead, she really enjoyed being the center of attention.

Look, money and power are really the best things in the world. The man in front of you can make you the center of attention with just one sentence.

But her goal is not just to be the center of attention for a while, she wants to keep herself in the spotlight forever in the future.

She reached out and took Qin Shang's hand, maintaining a perfect smile on her face. "Okay, my pleasure."

After saying that, the two of them walked hand in hand into the center of the dance floor and completed the opening dance in front of everyone's eyes.

After the dance, the atmosphere between the two changed.

Chen Jiayan looked at her waist being hugged by Qin Shang, her eyes darkened. Since she had made the choice, she could only win and not lose.

The author has something to say:
