As soon as Gu Nan got into the car, he asked the driver who came to pick him up, "Xiao Wang, I heard that Gu Zixiao has recently fallen out with his family?"
Gu Nan is the eldest son of the main family. He was diligent and studious from a young age, good-looking, and had a sweet tongue.
As he grew older, he became more mature and was one of the better children among the eldest son's children.
However, after Gu Zixiao returned a few years ago, Gu Nan felt a little uncomfortable.
There was no way around it; Gu Zixiao was better looking and more outstanding than him, and she even got into the special department based on her own abilities.
And what about him?
He used to be a child who was always praised by his elders, but later, his elders always ignored him and instead praised Gu Zixiao whenever they had the chance.
Gu Nan was never a magnanimous person, especially not someone more outstanding than him.
He was naturally unhappy.
He likes to compare himself with Gu Zixiao all the time, whether there's something to do or not.
Today was his first day back, and as usual, Gu Nan first inquired about Gu Zixiao's situation.
He only felt relieved when he heard that Gu Zixiao was in trouble.
The driver glanced at Gu Nan's face through the rearview mirror and said respectfully, "I don't know much about Gu Zixiao's situation."
Gu Nan's expression changed instantly, but he also knew that the driver was not someone he could scold casually.
Things are different now than in the past; it's easy to make a mistake if you say something slightly wrong.
He hummed in agreement, "I understand."
Lan Jiaojiao, who was sitting next to him, was always good at reading people's expressions and now noticed that Gu Nan was in a bad mood.
She squeezed his hand, feigning confusion, and asked, "Gu Nan? Who is Gu Zixiao? Why are you asking about him?"
Gu Nan took a deep breath, afraid of losing his temper in front of Lan Jiaojiao. After a while, he said to Lan Jiaojiao, "Oh, he is my second uncle's son. Before I came back, I heard that he seemed to have a falling out with my second uncle. I just wanted to ask what happened."
Lan Jiaojiao immediately understood what was going on.
Her husband and Gu Zixiao didn't get along, so the first thing she did when she got back was to ask Gu Zixiao what had happened.
This is also easy to distinguish.
Gu Nan had just asked the driver, but the driver replied that he didn't know, which immediately put Gu Nan in a bad mood.
It would be strange to say that Gu Nan and Gu Zixiao have a good relationship.
Lan Jiaojiao said softly, "Oh, I see. Then we must comfort Second Uncle properly when we get back. We can't let Second Uncle be sad because of his son."
Gu Nan was extremely pleased to hear this: "Jiaojiao is so clever. How come I didn't think of that just now?"
Lan Jiaojiao leaned on Gu Nan's shoulder: "Brother Nan, what are you saying? You're so smart, how could you not have thought of that? It's just that you feel sorry for me and want me to say it."
Gu Nan pinched Lan Jiaojiao's cheek: "Jiaojiao, you really are my precious treasure."
To be honest, his meeting with Lan Jiaojiao was an accident.
At that time, Lan Jiaojiao had been tricked into going to Taiwan. She was being dragged back by her hair.
At that moment, Lan Jiaojiao saw Gu Nan. She didn't know where she got the strength, but she broke free from the man who was holding her.
Then, she ran up to Gu Nan and begged him to save her, looking pitiful.
Gu Nan is a cold and selfish person who especially hates trouble, so how could he possibly save someone?
But when Gu Nan saw Lan Jiaojiao, his heart felt like it had been violently clenched.
At that moment, Gu Nan had only one thought in his mind: he had to save this girl.
If he hadn't saved this girl, he might have regretted it for the rest of his life.
So, Gu Nan used some coercion and enticement to buy Lan Jiaojiao from that man.
He quickly finished his business and left Wanwan with Lan Jiaojiao.
However, no sooner had he left with Lan Jiaojiao than the man who had taken a lot of his money was hacked to death in his home.
Of the huge sum of money the man received, half was returned to Gu Nan, while the other party kept the other half.
Gu Nan received half the money. Although he was still a little angry, he knew that he couldn't push his luck too far, or he would lose all connections to help him in the future.
However, he had already made a mental note to take revenge later.
And so, Lan Jiaojiao was brought back to China by him. Not long after arriving in China, Lan Jiaojiao married Gu Nan.
However, Lan Jiaojiao was not an innocent girl. Although Gu Nan said he didn't care, he was still quite bothered by it in his heart.
Lan Jiaojiao went to great lengths to coax him, and only then did she manage to make Gu Nan forget that she wasn't his first wife.
Lan Jiaojiao is now two months pregnant.
Gu Nan had someone specifically examine the baby, and they said that Lan Jiaojiao was carrying a boy.
Because of this, Gu Nan, who already cared a lot about Lan Jiaojiao, became even more attentive to her.
The car drove for more than an hour before they arrived home.
As soon as Gu Nan arrived home, his aunt Wang Fenglan came out after hearing the sound of a car outside.
Upon seeing her second son, whom she hadn't seen for many years, Wang Fenglan was overjoyed.
"Second brother, you're finally back. How was it? Were you tired from the journey?"
Gu Nan casually handed the luggage to his mother, then turned to help Lan Jiaojiao out of the car. Only then did he say slowly, "Tired? Of course I'm tired! Mom, you have to understand how far I came from Shenzhen. Shenzhen is so far from Beijing."
It's so inconvenient to go out now, and we couldn't get sleeper berths, so we had to sit in hard seats for several days to get back.
