Lu Jinghui drove away, and Zhou Xiaonian stood there scratching her head. She asked her younger sister next to her, "Xiaoyue, what's wrong with me?"
Gu Xiaoyue took her arm and led her home: "It's nothing, it's just that your Senior Brother Lu is impatient! Sis, let's go home!"
It was Zhou Guiying who reminded Zhou Xiaonian: "Xiaonian, did you tell your senior brother about taking our whole family on this trip?"
"...Should I tell you?" They're just fellow disciples.
"Your phone fell into the water, you got a new number, but you haven't contacted your senior brother Lu?"
"...No." It wasn't that she hadn't contacted Senior Brother Lu, but rather that she hadn't contacted anyone.
Zhou Guiying patted her granddaughter's head: "Give your senior brother Lu a call and ask him to come out so you can have a chat—of course, if you don't want to change your current relationship, you don't have to make this call."
Zhou Xiaonian thought for a moment: "I still need to make this call. My senior and I will be working together on other projects in the future, and it won't do to have such a strained relationship."
Zhou Xiaonian took out her phone and contacted Lu Jinghui. A short while later, Lu Jinghui drove the car back, picked up Zhou Xiaonian, and drove away.
Gu Xiaoyue wrinkled her nose and said to Zhou Guiying, "Mother-in-law, do you not want my sister anymore?"
Zhou Guiying was startled: "You little brat, why are you suddenly asking such a hurtful question? How could I abandon your sister? I raised her from scratch! Just like you, she's my life!"
"Then why did you let my sister contact that guy surnamed Lu? That guy Lu wants to trick my sister into talking about marriage!" Gu Xiaoyue said, "My sister is so outstanding, no one in the world is good enough for her!"
Gu Xiaoyue idolizes her older sister, a fact known throughout the Gu family.
“Didn’t you tell him before that if he wanted to pursue your sister, he would have to get past you first? He took it seriously and wanted to be tested by you and the Gu family. But your sister suddenly left without leaving a message. He will only think that the Gu family is playing him for a fool.”
Zhou Guiying then explained, "Xiaoyue, your sister isn't a child anymore. She knows how she feels about her senior brother Lu and what kind of relationship she wants to maintain with him. Xiaoyue, your sister is someone who can even develop an aircraft carrier, how could she not handle a relationship? She's still young and wants to try, so let her try. Isn't there me and the Gu family to back her up? Your sister won't suffer any losses."
Gu Xiaoyue scratched her head.
"She was only 22 when she was dating Xu Jing'an, and her family didn't interfere. As it turns out, even though that man broke his promise and married someone else, your sister wasn't sad. This shows that she knows how to handle relationships, doesn't get completely invested, and can extricate herself quickly."
"Xiaoyue, you have to trust your sister's judgment and ability."
"So, my sister doesn't need my protection at all?"
"Yes, she doesn't need your protection, but she needs your care. You've grown up with your parents since birth, and so many people love you. She's different; she's suffered so much since she was little..."
This was the first time Zhou Guiying had told her granddaughter about Zhou Xiaonian's childhood, and the little girl burst into tears after hearing it.
While Zhou Guiying was talking, Zhou Yue and the rest of the Gu family didn't interrupt. But when they saw the little girl crying, their eyes also turned red.
Zhou Xiaonian's relentless work ethic since childhood is perhaps a manifestation of his insecurity.
Gu Xiaoyue said through tears, "I want to love my sister so much, so much, sob sob..."
Zhou Xiaonian didn't return until midnight. As soon as she opened the door, she saw her younger sister waiting for her anxiously.
"Why are you still up so late? Your eyes are all red, are you a bottom—"
"Sister, I really love you so much!" Gu Xiaoyue threw herself into her older sister's arms. "I will love you more and more in the future! Sister, you must remember that I am the person who loves you the most, the most, the most, the most, the most!"
Zhou Xiaonian also loves his younger sister very much, and was very pleased to hear this: "I love you too."
