Today brought the first rain of spring.
Scattered, carrying a chilly wind, it carried a hint of cold.
Bai Qianmo opened the car door to get out, and a cool hand grasped her hand that was resting on her thigh.
"Wait a moment."
Bai Qianmo turned around and looked at the man with some confusion.
Gu Jueye didn't explain further, opened the car door and got out, then waved to her.
Bai Qianmo shifted her body and followed Gu Jueye out of the car through the other door.
Before I could even look up, a dark shadow flashed by, and then my shoulder felt heavy.
His black coat was already draped over her shoulders.
"I'm not cold..."
"Keep it on; you've just recovered from a serious illness and shouldn't be exposed to the cold."
Bai Qianmo pulled her wool coat tighter around herself and said nothing more.
Warmth pressed against her back, his warmth making her feel even warmer than she felt inside.
Fifth Brother.
A sweet, delicate voice came from ahead.
Bai Qianmo turned to look and met a pair of eyes filled with jealousy.
The person who arrived was Lisa.
She rushed to the research institute an hour ago to find Gu Jueye, but to her surprise, he wasn't there.
Moreover, she left with Bai Qianmo and didn't return all night.
Upon hearing this news, Lisa felt a surge of jealousy.
Her suicide attempt a few days ago was an attempt to get her fifth brother to focus more attention on her.
Compared to Bai Qianmo, she was the one who had been by her fifth brother's side since childhood.
Lisa firmly believes that she holds a place in her fifth brother's heart.
This suicide attempt thoroughly angered her fifth brother, who wanted the Gu family to send her back to Y country.
These past two days, she's been thinking about this all the time, and after much deliberation, she decided to change her strategy.
As long as she can stay in the capital, she will have plenty of opportunities to drive Bai Qianmo away from her fifth brother.
Therefore, she now needs to lower her stance, even if it means pretending to reconcile with Bai Qianmo, whom she despises the most, she is willing to do so.
Lisa ran towards Gu Jueye, her eyes brimming with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Fifth Brother, I've been waiting for you here for over two hours. Your men wouldn't let me in, and then it suddenly started raining outside. I'm soaked to the bone."
Bai Qianmo frowned slightly, glancing coldly at Lisa.
"Fifth Brother, when did it start raining? I fell asleep in the car and didn't even know it was raining."
Gu Teng and Fang Shu walked over and, upon hearing Bai Qianmo's words, chuckled softly, unable to recognize her.
This girl's mouth hasn't stopped the whole way; she's really good at lying through her teeth.
"Ten minutes ago," Gu Jueye said, giving a specific number.
Bai Qianmo nodded seriously, stretched out her hand, palm up.
"With this rain, you shouldn't get wet in ten minutes, right? Besides, there's a guard post at the entrance. Lisa, are you stupid? You're just standing in the rain and letting yourself get soaked. You're really not taking care of yourself. Or do you like the feeling of being in the rain?"
Lisa's face turned bright red.
Originally, she wanted her fifth brother to feel sorry for her, but that bitch Bai Qianmo actually said that she deliberately got caught in the rain?
"Fifth Brother, I wanted to wait for you to come back so I could see you the first thing I saw. Actually, my car was parked right next to me, but I was afraid I wouldn't see you when you came back. Waaah, Fifth Brother, did I disturb you and Qianmo? Well... I'll leave then. I only came here to see you."
"Planning to go back to Y country?" Gu Jueye asked calmly.
He has always been indifferent to other people's affairs, but if Lisa's existence affects his relationship with Qianmo, that is his business.
Lisa's eyes were red, and she had a weak and helpless expression.
“I originally wanted to go back, but my aunt and cousin Mengshu came. You know, my aunt and cousin Mengshu have always disliked me. This time they are going to stay in Gujia for a while, so I don’t dare to go back now.”
This was the excuse she had prepared before she came.
It was also thanks to the timely return of that despicable mother and daughter, Gu Yue and Yin Mengshu, that she had an excuse to continue staying in China.
Her fifth brother had already contacted her grandfather, and her grandfather had called her many times, urging her to return to China as soon as possible.
Bai Qianmo, that bitch, stays by Fifth Brother's side every day. How could she possibly go back?
"Fifty percent of the real estate in O State is developed by the Gu family. Does Miss Gu need a house to live in?" Bai Qianmo said coldly, bluntly exposing Lisa's excuse.
This girl just doesn't want to leave; she wants to keep bothering Fifth Brother.
When Lisa looked at Bai Qianmo, a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.
But on the surface, he pretended to look pitiful.
“Country Y is not as vast and resource-rich as China. If I go back, I will see them sooner or later. Qianmo, I said some very unpleasant things to you before. I hope you can forgive me. From now on, I will definitely treat you as a good friend. After all, we have known each other for so many years.”
Although she was dressed quite warmly, after hearing Lisa's words, Bai Qianmo felt gusts of cold wind blowing against her body.
The wind carried a hint of murderous intent.
Lisa had always been arrogant and domineering in front of her, like a high and mighty princess.
They suddenly changed their tune; who knows what wicked scheme they're plotting now.
Gu Jueye's eyelids twitched slightly; he naturally noticed the change in Lisa's attitude towards Qianmo.
There must be something fishy going on; he knew this girl's personality well.
"If you don't want to go to Y country, then go to neighboring D country. If you think O state is too small, you can go to South America. There will always be a place for you."
