"Jiang Yingyue, you kept talking about your sister. When your sister was around, it must have put a lot of pressure on you, right?
I used to curry favor with my sister and wanted to be her adopted sister, but when I failed, my self-esteem was shattered and I started to imitate my sister in everything. Was it hard?
How pitiful! I hope my sister didn’t become a shadow in your adolescence.”
After the Gu family went bankrupt, Jiang Yingyue spent a large sum of money to buy the personal belongings that Gu Changge used to use.
From gold, silver and jewelry to dresses that have only been worn a few times.
She treated the second-hand items used by Gu Changge as treasures.
"You!" Jiang Yingyue slammed the table, stood up in shame and anger, and the red wine spilled.
Gu Huaiwei pressed the shaking tabletop: "Calm down, you have to pay for the broken cup."
Jiang Yingyue blurted out, "Who the hell is Gu Changge? How could I possibly care about her?
Your Gu family has gone bankrupt. Your sister is said to be missing. She might have abandoned you and gone somewhere to hide from her debts.
I don't care about useless people like this!"
Gu Huaiwei laughed nonchalantly: "Are you acting like a spoiled child?
If my sister were here, she might look at you with a tolerant smile, but I wouldn’t do that.
If I hear you insulting my sister again, I'll make you an internet celebrity."
After saying that, Gu Huaiwei took out the recording equipment she had prepared in advance.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Okay, okay, ladies, please calm down." Jiang Richen cared about his family's reputation and frowned, wanting to end this farce.
Gu Huaiwei leaned back in her chair, her arms folded across her chest. "I'm full. Can you give me the food now?"
Jiang Richen wanted to say something else.
Gu Huaiwei interrupted him directly: "Stop your meaningless preaching, your little tricks don't work on me.
If you call me late at night, I will just think you are harassing me.
Instead of pretending to care about your sister in front of me, why don’t you use your connections to look for her?
If you want me to go to the Jiang family, you should show greater sincerity. A few small favors will not move me.
Also, could you please stop using the beauty trap?
Since you are my sister's fiancé, please behave like a husband.
I really don't eat your kind.
Finally, I don’t like drinking alcohol, nor do I like tomato-flavored steaks. Next time you treat me to a meal, remember to order their crispy crab cakes.”
The words have been said bluntly enough.
Tearing off the hypocritical mask, Jiang Richen's face was cold: "The upright are easily broken. Miss Gu said it so decisively. Are you underestimating the influence of the Jiang family in City A?"
Gu Huaiwei held her face with one hand, the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye was red as blood. Her eyes were like a cat hunting in the dark night, full of danger and wildness. She stared at Jiang Richen, causing Jiang Richen's breathing to gradually become heavier.
Then she laughed softly: "You underestimated me."
After saying that, Gu Huaiwei felt that there was no point in wasting time. Seeing that they looked alert, she didn't say anything back. She shrugged her shoulders, stood up and prepared to leave.
Jiang Richen raised his hand: "Wait a moment, take this thing away."
Gu Huaiwei stopped.
Jiang Richen took the silver safe at his feet and placed it on the table.
After entering the password and opening it, there was a group photo of the two families taken when Gu Changge and Jiang Richen got engaged.
A photo, placed in a safe that big.
Gu Huaiwei thought it was something good.
Jiang Richen explained: "I developed the photos I took earlier. You can keep a copy."
Gu Huaiwei saw her sister's happy smile in the photo and remembered the day when the two families went to take pictures together and her sister and she imagined the future...
Originally, I didn’t hate the Jiang family that much.
It was their subsequent actions that ruined Gu Huaiwei's favor.
Anyone who betrays others' sincerity will have to swallow ten thousand needles.
Gu Huaiwei reached out to take the photo.
Jiang Richen suddenly grabbed her wrist and whispered, "Your sister and I have a deep bond. You have to believe me. I really want to help you."
"Oh." Gu Huaiwei looked at his eyes, which were so affectionate even when looking at a dog, and felt only indifference in her heart.
Pretentious words can never compare to actual actions.
She didn't see any love from Jiang Richen for her sister.
Yes, there are only endless calculations.
Gu Huaiwei broke free from his hand, looked at him, and said seriously, "If you let me join the company you acquired earlier, I will believe in your sincerity."
“…” Jiang Richen was speechless.
"Or, return those antique vases you got from the Gu family to me, and I can feel your sincerity."
“…” Jiang Richen felt that Gu Huaiwei was very difficult to deal with.
"Or, your Jiang family could publicly state in the media that you acknowledge your previous engagement with my sister and are willing to wait for her return."
Jiang Richen fell silent completely.
Gu Huaiwei was not prepared to wait for his answer.
"I've accepted the photos. I'll contact you if you have anything. Bye."
Looking at Gu Huaiwei's leaving back, the Jiang siblings looked at each other in bewilderment.
The delicious meal in front of me also lost its taste.
Jiang Yingyue poked at the melted cream cake with a grim expression, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart: "You really can't judge a person by their appearance. This Gu Huaiwei is so cunning, much more troublesome than her sister..."
"She is too wary of me, let my third brother take action." Jiang Richen lowered his head, and Gu Huaiwei's unique eyes were always in his mind.
After Gu Huaiwei left the Blue Whale Hotel, she called Mu Lingxi and asked her to lock the warehouse door and not let anyone go there during this period of time.
She was worried that the Jiang family would find that soft tactics didn't work and would resort to hard tactics.
Have to be on guard.
As for the family photo, Gu Huaiwei cut out the part of herself and her sister, sealed it with a laminator, and threw the rest into the trash can.
Who wants to take a family photo with them?
She and her sister are a real family.
At the end of the short weekend, Gu Huaiwei bought several new clothes and brought them to the Oasis Hotel.
Not only are there clothes for her, but there are also some for men.
Lin She eats and lives in the hotel every day. Apart from his own black windbreaker, he also wears the hotel's ugly work clothes.
Maybe he also thinks his work clothes are ugly, so except for the first few days before work, he wears his own clothes the rest of the time.
But his black windbreaker was too rigid.
After putting it on, it doesn’t seem like you’re working in a hotel, but rather in a funeral home.
Gu Huaiwei endured for several weeks and finally had some spare money, so she decided to change his clothes and improve the hotel's appearance.
Every time she came back, she carried a lot of bags.
This time, in addition to water and oxygen cylinders, Gu Huaiwei also brought some compressed biscuits, dried fruits, bandages, antibiotics...
Lin She appeared at the door of the employee passage very punctually and helped her unload the goods.
Gu Huaiwei used a trailer to carry a wooden box filled with various eggs. Lin She walked towards her and she said with a smile, "Come quickly, see what good things I brought you this time."
