"Mind your own business!" the young man said impatiently, pushing his mother away and running off in a hurry.
Lin's mother gave a disgruntled snort, "You've already lost your mind? Don't you have any self-respect! Don't call me next time something like this happens!"
After saying that, she turned and left, showing no respect even to her own cousin.
Lin Zhibai escorted his mother to the car and said, "Calm down, I'll book you a flight back this afternoon."
Lin's mother turned her head, her sharp gaze piercing into the depths of his heart: "Did you already know that Gu Fanyan would come?"
Lin Zhibai remained silent.
Lin's mother's face turned cold: "Go ahead and make a scene, you'll just drive me crazy!"
After saying that, he slammed the car door shut and drove off in a cloud of dust.
Lin Zhibai stood there for a while, and then another car stopped in front of him.
The car window rolled down, and my cousin leaned out, asking, "Cousin, are you familiar with Sister Fanyan?"
Lin Zhibai slightly curled the corners of his mouth: "Why are you asking this?"
"Send me her WeChat!" My cousin eagerly pulled out his phone. "I'll add her."
Lin Zhibai thought for a moment and then generously granted his request.
"What do you want to do?" Lin Zhibai asked.
My cousin chuckled, "Cousin, how come I never knew Gu Fanchu's sister was so beautiful!"
"Cousin, since you've known her for a long time, didn't you ever have any feelings for her?"
Lin Zhibai said calmly, "I call her 'sister'."
"So what?" My cousin's disdainful expression seemed to mock his outdated views.
After saying that, he drove away like the wind.
Lin Zhibai watched his car disappear into the distance, his expression unfathomable.
Just before arriving home, Gu Fanyan received a friend request message that read, "Sister Fanyan, I want to discuss Gu Fanchu's matter with you."
Gu Fanyan passed it casually.
Mr. Gu had been sitting on the sofa handling official business. When they came in, he put down his tablet and asked them with his eyes.
"Don't even mention it," Gu Fanchu frowned. "My sister had handled things perfectly, and I didn't have to take any responsibility at all. But Lin Zhibai suddenly appeared and messed everything up!"
Father Gu looked at Gu Fanyan: "Yan'er, what's wrong?"
Gu Fanyan calmly shook her head: "It's nothing. We have a big collaboration with the Lin family coming up, right? Lin Zhibai might have other ideas. He asked me to meet with him tonight."
"Sister, are you really going to see him?" Gu Fanchu asked anxiously. "I'll go with you tonight."
“No need,” Gu Fanyan shook her head. “I can handle it. You stay home with my dad; he has a lot to say to you.”
Mr. Gu nodded. He trusted his daughter and was pleased that she could guess his thoughts.
He and Gu Fanchu did indeed have some things to talk about.
Gu Fanyan returned to her room and found that the friend she had just contacted had sent her several messages.
[Sister Fanyan, my name is Lin Leming, and I'm Lin Zhibai's cousin. We met at the hospital today.]
Can we meet tonight? I want to talk to you face-to-face about what happened with Gu Fanchu.
Gu Fanchu, you don't need to come. There are some things I only want to tell you; I only trust you.
A hint of disdain flashed across Gu Fanyan's lips.
She knew exactly what this kind of man was thinking.
But the matter concerning Gu Fanchu cannot be left unresolved.
She thought for a moment and then sent him a message.
Okay, see you at the Gardenia Hotel at 8 PM.
In the evening, Gu Fanyan arrived at the Gardenia Hotel on time.
But instead of going to the room Lin Zhibai mentioned, she went to the coffee shop on the second floor.
"Sister Fanyan, it's an honor to see you again!"
Lin Leming had been waiting there for a while and presented her with a large bouquet of red roses.
Gu Fanyan pretended not to know and looked puzzled: "Why did you send me flowers?"
Lin Leming smiled slightly and said, "Flowers go well with beautiful women."
"Thank you." Gu Fanyan accepted the gift gracefully and placed it on the chair next to her.
Lin Leming sat down opposite her, his gaze fixed on her face like a fly.
"Sister Fanyan, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen!" he exclaimed.
Gu Fanyan disliked his gaze, but since the matter wasn't finished, she could only endure it for the time being.
“Tell me about what happened at the bar that night,” she said.
Lin Leming smiled and said, "That was just a little joke between Gu Fanchu and me. Sister Fanyan, don't take it to heart."
Gu Fanyan shook her head: "After all, Gu Fanchu laid a hand on you, and this matter needs to be addressed."
“How about you treat me to a meal, Sister Fanyan?” Lin Leming said, “but I’d like to have the meal on the yacht.”
“No problem,” Gu Fanyan agreed immediately, “However, I still want to know what exactly happened that night.”
She continued, "I know Gu Fanchu. He can't be without fault in this matter."
"Sister Fanyan, you are so understanding..." Lin Leming's infatuation deepened.
Since she's so eager to know, he has no reason not to tell her.
Actually, what happened that night was quite simple. Lin Leming did know that girl, and he and Gu Fanchu had some minor disagreements.
That night, when Lin Leming saw Gu Fanchu at the bar, he discussed with the girl about having her strike up a conversation with Gu Fanchu and get him to order the most expensive drinks in the bar.
After receiving the money, the two split it equally.
However, as the girl and Gu Fanchu chatted, they actually started to take things seriously, completely forgetting about what they had agreed on.
Lin Leming was furious, so he took the opportunity to cause trouble.
“Sister Fanyan, this is just a small matter, right?” Lin Leming chuckled awkwardly. “We all usually play like this.”
Gu Fanyan turned off the recording button on her phone, her face turning cold and grim: "Now that things are clear, please stay away from Gu Fanchu from now on, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
After saying that, she stood up to leave.
Lin Leming was stunned. How could he turn on him so suddenly?
He quickly stood up and anxiously grabbed Gu Fanyan's arm: "Sister Fanyan, don't be angry. I'll apologize to Gu Fanchu later..."
"Let go!" Gu Fanyan glared at his hand.
Lin Leming was reluctant to let go, "Sister Fanyan..."
"This lady wants you to let go." At that moment, a tall figure stopped beside them.
He grabbed Lin Leming's wrist and, with a bit of force, pushed him back into his seat.
Gu Fanyan glanced at the other person; he was a strange man she didn't recognize.
"Thank you," she said softly, then turned and left.
She lived not far from here and had walked here, so she walked back.
Passing by a bakery, she saw freshly baked baguettes and remembered that her father loved them the most.
For many years, my dad has had a cup of coffee and a baguette every morning.
She walked into the bakery, paid her bill, and looked up to see the man from before.
He was standing in line behind her.
The man smiled slightly: "It looks like you, but I don't know your name, so I didn't say hello."
Gu Fanyan smiled.
The man then said, "Can I buy you a cup of coffee?"
Gu Fanyan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "It's an honor."
She had just thought of Lin Zhibai.
He brazenly asked her out in the hospital, even setting the meeting place in a hotel room.
Her face was calm, but she had been holding back a lot of anger inside.
