Before leaving, Gu Fanyan told her father to stay home and rest, saying she would handle the matter herself.
He's just a junior member of the Lin family; there's no need for the head of the Gu family to get involved.
"Isn't it you who's here?" Gu Fanyan retorted.
Gu Fanchu scratched his head dejectedly, "I...I'm afraid I don't have that ability."
Gu Fanyan found it amusing; he did seem to have a good sense of self-awareness.
“Remember this,” she said, “no matter where you go, you are still the young master of the Gu family. Others will not dare to make things difficult for you because of the Gu family’s name.”
"So you need to be confident and not be afraid of anything."
Gu Fanchu hummed in agreement, a warm feeling washing over her.
No matter how much others said he was a jerk, my sister never truly disliked him.
As they were talking, the two entered the ward, while their two assistants who had come with them remained at the door.
A young man in his early twenties was lying in the hospital bed, and two women were standing beside him.
Upon hearing the sound, both women turned around.
Gu Fanyan recognized one of them as Lin's mother, and the other, whose features resembled Lin's mother, was probably the young man's mother and Lin's mother's cousin.
“Aunt Lin,” Gu Fanyan said indifferently but politely, “I brought my younger brother here to discuss the situation with you.”
Lin's mother frowned unhappily: "What we're asking for is for Gu Fanchu's parents to come over!"
Lin's mother's cousin was also very unhappy: "What's the meaning of sending a junior like you here? Do you look down on our Lin family?"
Gu Fanyan smiled calmly: "If the fault lies with Fanchu, the elders of the Gu family should be here. I'm here today to tell you both that the fault does not lie with my younger brother."
Lin's mother raised an eyebrow, her voice deep and angry: "Gu Fanyan, you're talking nonsense!"
"Mom, Auntie..." The young man in bed woke up.
Lin's mother and cousin immediately looked at the young man.
Gu Fanyan said, "Now that Mr. Lin is awake, why don't we let him confront my brother and explain what happened back then?"
Lin's mother's cousin immediately retorted angrily, "My son is still sick, what are you planning to do by making him stand still like this!"
"You'd better be nicer!" Gu Fanchu protested. "Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Lin's mother's cousin cried out for help, "They've even come to the hospital room to bully us! Are the Gu family trying to kill us or something?!"
Her loud shouts echoed out of the ward, and several of Lin's relatives immediately gathered around.
Two assistants quickly came to the side of the Gu siblings to protect them.
However, compared to the many members of the Lin family, the four of them still appeared isolated and helpless.
Gu Fanchu was not about to swallow this insult and immediately tried to call for help.
Gu Fanyan pressed his hand down, still smiling faintly: "No rush, we have the right to speak. The Lin family's attempt to bully the weak with numbers is unlikely to succeed."
She raised her pretty face and said to Lin's mother and cousin, "Seniors, there are surveillance cameras in the bar that day, which have captured the whole truth. Why don't I send them to you to take a look first?"
"You...you Gu family, it's not difficult for you to fake a video!" Lin's mother's cousin said angrily.
"Mom..." the young man called out, "Help me up!"
Two members of the Lin family quickly stepped forward and helped him up.
When he saw Gu Fanyan's face clearly, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with infatuation, and he couldn't say a word.
Lin's mother frowned and cursed inwardly, "What a good-for-nothing! He's already been bewitched!"
Gu Fanyan didn't take it seriously; she was all too familiar with that kind of gaze, receiving a whole basketful of them every day.
She looked directly into the young man's eyes: "You and that girl have known each other for a long time. This whole thing was just a setup you two orchestrated for Gu Fanchu, right?"
The young man nodded as if bewitched.
Lin's mother's cousin immediately slapped her son, "Are you out of your mind? Who do you know?!"
Lin's mother also questioned, "Gu Fanyan, you are the eldest daughter of the Gu family. You can't speak and act so without any basis."
"Auntie!" the young man spoke first, "Don't be angry, it's not that serious. I just wanted to joke with Gu Fanchu..."
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Gu Fanyan, filled with a fawning smile.
"What the hell!" Gu Fanchu immediately cursed, "Then why did you make such a big fuss about it!"
He was so dramatic, threatening to call the police and file a lawsuit, that he even got his uncle and sister involved!
Gu Fanchu's temper, which she had honed for a long time, seemed to be about to break down, and she wanted nothing more than to rush up and kick him a couple of times.
Gu Fanyan said calmly, "Now that everything is clear, we'll be leaving."
Before she could finish speaking, a person walked in through the door. "Gu Fanyan, things aren't that simple, are they?"
Gu Fanyan was taken aback, not expecting Lin Zhibai to come as well.
This person is just his cousin, or rather, his aunt's son. Why does he need to care so much?
Gu Fanyan remained calm, took out her phone, opened the video, and showed it to everyone: "This is the video from the bar that night. You can see that before that girl met Gu Fanchu, she chatted with Mr. Lin in the corner for a while."
Lin's mother and cousin were somewhat discouraged, it seemed that the truth was indeed as Gu Fanyan had said.
However, Lin Zhibai disagreed: "So what?"
Gu Fanyan replied, "This proves that Mr. Lin and this girl know each other."
Lin Zhibai shrugged: "It also proves that my cousin talked to this girl first, and Gu Fanchu was the one who interfered."
Gu Fanyan's heart skipped a beat.
His words unexpectedly reversed the truth of the matter.
After all, the video only shows the visuals, but you can't hear what Lin's cousin and the girl were saying.
You could say they're plotting something.
It could also be said that they bumped into each other and chatted for a bit.
These are two completely different results.
Gu Fanyan wasn't afraid. "It's simple, just bring the girl here for a confrontation."
Lin Zhibai shook his head: "I sent people to look for her, but the girl is missing."
Gu Fanyan looked at him for a few seconds and suddenly realized that he had hidden the girl!
That's why he arrived late. That's why he felt so confident.
Lin's mother and cousin also began to appreciate the flavor, and their complexions improved considerably.
Lin's mother looked at Gu Fanyan with a cold face: "Miss Gu, you should go back and invite your father over. You can't handle this."
Gu Fanyan only looked at Lin Zhibai: "What do you want?"
Lin Zhibai smiled, took two steps forward, and walked up to her.
She instinctively took two steps back, but he followed her by taking two more steps forward... in front of so many people.
The two were so close that their breaths mingled.
Gu Fanyan refused to back down. Even though she knew he was deliberately making things difficult for her, she stubbornly endured it.
Lin Zhibai tilted his head, his lips close to her ear, his voice low: "If you want to negotiate with me, show some sincerity. Tonight, Gardenia Hotel, room 7021."
Gu Fanyan walked away expressionlessly.
They didn't even hear him finish what he was saying.
The young man watched Gu Fanyan's figure until her footsteps were no longer audible before complaining, "Cousin, why did you make things difficult for her?"
Lin Zhibai's expression turned cold, a sneer playing on his lips: "Do you know who she is?"
Who is it?
“Gu Fanchu’s older sister, Gu Fanyan,” Lin Zhibai replied.
The young man's eyes lit up. "Gu Fanchu has such a beautiful older sister!"
After saying that, the young man was about to get out of bed.
"Son, what are you doing?" Lin's mother's cousin said anxiously, "You're still getting an injection, where are you going!"
