"Brother." Gu Ningning felt even more aggrieved seeing Gu Qingyan's actions. With red eyes, she looked at Gu Qingyan pitifully, "I heard that Shen Zhi Qiu is back, and I wanted to come and apologize to her."
Gu Qingyan scrutinized Gu Ningning with a serious expression. He knew his sister's true nature very well. Was she here to apologize? It would be more in line with her temperament to cause trouble. So he said coldly, "No need, you can go back."
"Brother, I really know I was wrong. I've thought a lot about sending me to that place to study. I was too willful before." Gu Ningning lowered her eyes, her fingers nervously twisting together.
Gu Qingyan looked at her noncommittally. But he also began to have doubts. Could it really have worked? After all, on the surface, there were no flaws. But just to be on the safe side, he didn't lower his hand and said calmly, "Okay, I understand. You can go now."
Seeing that he really wouldn't let her in, Gu Ningning felt embarrassed, but she didn't dare to challenge her brother. So she said meekly, "Then I'll go first. Brother, please apologize to my sister-in-law for me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked outside.
Watching Gu Ningning start the car and drive away, Gu Qingyan then walked towards the parking lot.
Half an hour later.
Gu Ningning drove back from another side road behind the villa, hid in a corner to confirm that Gu Qingyan would not be coming back, and then drove back to the Gu family villa.
After getting off the bus, she walked straight towards the main gate.
"Second Miss, you've arrived." Butler Chen hurried to greet Gu Ningning upon seeing her. He had been in the back garden instructing the gardener when Gu Qingyan refused to let her in, so he hadn't witnessed this. Naturally, he wouldn't stop Gu Ningning now.
Gu Ningning's face lit up with joy, knowing that Gu Qingyan definitely hadn't told Uncle Chen not to let her in. A smile unconsciously crept onto her lips, and she felt a surge of secret delight. She said casually, "I've come to see my sister-in-law. I heard she's pregnant and just got back, so I've brought some tonics." As she spoke, she held up a beautiful red gift box, letting the butler, Uncle Chen, see the words "bird's nest" on it.
"Take it and have the nanny stew it; it'll be ready to eat in a bit."
"I understand, Second Miss. The young mistress is resting on the third floor. Please come in first." With that, she opened the door for Gu Ningning.
Gu Ningning strode in with an air of superiority, lingered in the entryway for a while, and felt annoyed by the various paintings selected by Shen Zhi Qiu hanging on the wall, wishing she could tear them all down and throw them away. But she didn't dare to now and could only endure it.
She walked into the living room with light steps. Zhou Xiaoran heard the noise and thought Gu Qingyan had returned. She turned around and glared at him irritably.
But then a young girl walked into the living room.
She was wearing a beige dress that looked incredibly expensive. Zhou Xiaoran immediately recognized it as a runway piece from this autumn's fashion show, which had been featured in many magazines and media outlets, and was said to be highly sought after by wealthy young ladies.
The dress was originally designed to be a very girlish and sweet style, which would have made her look fresh and elegant if paired with a youthful face. Unfortunately, the person who came here exuded a vulgar feeling as if she wanted to wear all her possessions on her body.
Zhou Xiaoran looked up and met a somewhat familiar face. They were cousins after all; the features of the face resembled Gu Qingyan's, and it was undeniably unpleasant. Zhou Xiaoran scrutinized the face; it was undeniably delicate and beautiful, but the heavy makeup actually lowered its overall appeal.
"What are you doing here?" Zhou Xiaoran frowned, suddenly remembering the video Si Mingyu had shown her, and said in an icy tone.
"Who are you? What are you doing in my brother's villa?" Gu Ningning didn't expect to encounter a strange woman as soon as she entered. She frowned and asked in an unfriendly tone.
“I’m Zhi Qiu’s good friend,” Zhou Xiaoran stated directly. “You’re not welcome here. What are you doing here?”
"I'm here for a reason." Gu Ningning curled her lips disdainfully, not taking Zhou Xiaoran seriously at all, and glanced at her sideways. "This is my brother's house. I can come and go as I please. What's it to you? Even if Shen Zhi Qiu were standing here, he wouldn't have a say. Tch."
"You still have the nerve to come here? Your skin is truly thick." Shen Zhi Qiu originally wanted to come down for a walk, but unexpectedly saw Gu Ningning mocking Zhou Xiao Ran, so she frowned and questioned her.
"You!" Gu Ningning's face changed, and she instantly exploded with anger. Pointing at Shen Zhi Qiu, she cursed, "How can anyone be as shameless as you? Didn't you run away on your own? How come you have the nerve to come back? And you even brought a friend back to stay. What, are you too poor to afford a hotel? If I were you, I wouldn't come back even if I slept under a bridge."
Shen Zhi Qiu chuckled lightly, not angry at all. "Whether I go out or come back, it's none of your business. You're really meddling."
"Of course I can interfere! This is my brother's house, so it belongs to the Gu family! I'm a member of the Gu family, so of course I have the right to ask questions," Gu Ningning shouted angrily.
"Oh. It won't be like that for long." Shen Zhi Qiu calmly fiddled with her fingers, saying indifferently.
"What do you mean? This house isn't my brother's, so why would it be yours?" Gu Ningning retorted sarcastically. "Don't you even know your own worth? Do you think you have that kind of money?"
"Let me remind you, this villa will soon be transferred to my name, and then it will have nothing to do with your brother anymore." Shen Zhi Qiu smiled, and after seeing Gu Ningning's surprised and unwilling eyes, she continued to say with disdain, "Tsk tsk tsk, be careful your eyes pop out."
"Shen Zhi Qiu! How dare you treat me like this?!" Gu Ning Ning disregarded her ladylike demeanor and rushed towards the stairwell.
Shen Zhi Qiu raised her eyelids slightly and gripped the railing firmly with her left hand. Zhou Xiao Ran, who was in front of the sofa, reacted quickly and followed immediately.
Gu Ningning ran to the stairwell and was about to start walking up when Zhou Xiaoran grabbed her arm. Zhou Xiaoran said sternly, "Gu Ningning, what do you want to do! We're not as easy to talk to as Gu Qingyan. If you dare to lay a hand on me again, I'll settle all the old and new scores with you and make sure you spend a good time in jail!"
Gu Ningning struggled desperately, shouting and cursing, "Let me go! You're just like Shen Zhi Qiu, you're both sluts. I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
Zhou Xiaoran goes to the gym regularly, so she has some strength, unlike Gu Ningning who has always been a pampered young lady. So when it comes to fighting, Gu Ningning is no match for her at all. She grips Gu Ningning's arm tightly, and Gu Ningning can't move at all.
Gu Ningning winced in pain, and her curses became even more vulgar, "How dare you treat me like this! Just wait until I call someone to deal with you! Shen Zhi Qiu, you bitch, who knows if the child in your belly is my brother's? It might be some bastard from somewhere. I curse your child..."
Before Gu Ningning could finish her curse, she received a solid slap across the face.
She looked up in disbelief, only to meet Shen Zhi Qiu's fiery eyes.
