Chapter 227: A Frightened Bird
Gu Xueying didn’t have any particular place she wanted to go, but she was desperate to escape from Gu Yuji in front of her.
"Jinling can...let your assistant accompany me..." Gu Xueying said.
Gu Yuji shook his head: "I plan to accompany you personally, how about it? Are you happy?"
Gu Xueying was not happy at all. Ever since her third brother solved the family crisis and found a better backer for her father after the loss of the Red Dragon King, her third brother had more say in the family.
He just found an excuse and took Gu Xueying out of the Gu family villa, and then placed her in this remote private villa. He kept an eye on her every day and didn't let her relax at all.
The Gu family did have suspicions, but Gu Yuji dismissed them with the excuse that Gu Xueying was studying abroad.
The father and the other two brothers were already busy and never thought about it carefully. As for the mother, seeing that the crisis in her family was resolved, she would not doubt her youngest son who had always been sensible. She even muttered a few words about Gu Xueying in private, blaming her daughter for just giving up and disappearing, saying that she was a wanderer.
Gu Xueying has been having an extremely difficult time these days.
Even though she knew that her brother was obsessed with her, she was really afraid of being imprisoned like this without a moment's peace.
She even felt a little regretful. If she had not stopped Xu Youyou from returning home, would she not have suffered the torture she is suffering now?
Gu Yuji suddenly reached out and wiped the tears from her face.
His hands were covered with thick calluses from holding paintbrushes for many years, and they felt extremely uncomfortable when they were touched on his face.
Gu Xueying's skin was extremely delicate and would leave red marks with the slightest touch. After being touched now, a faint red mark immediately appeared, making her look extremely pitiful.
The more pitiful they are, the more people want to abuse them.
"I...I want to go by myself..." said Gu Xueying.
Gu Yuji frowned slightly: "For such a big event, I must accompany you."
"What's the big deal?" Gu Xueying was very confused.
"Of course it's to meet your biological mother." Gu Yuji casually threw out a thunderbolt.
Gu Xueying's face changed drastically. She had never planned to meet her biological mother. After all, seeing that Xu Youyou grew up in an orphanage, she knew that her biological parents were probably in very poor conditions.
"I don't want to go to Jinling anymore!" Gu Xueying said anxiously.
Gu Yuji held her delicate and pale face in his palm and said lightly, "She is your biological mother, how can you not see her? This is not a good child."
Gu Xueying was about to go crazy, and finally couldn't help but lose her temper: "Our current relationship, once it gets out, everyone will blame the Gu family for not having strict family discipline. Even if we are not related by blood, people will point fingers at us and say that we are committing incest! Can you please wake up!"
Gu Yuji saw her going crazy, but he didn't panic at all. Instead, he reached out and touched her hair: "Okay, okay, it's not a big deal, calm down."
Gu Xueying couldn't calm down at all.
What Gu Yuji did disrupted all her original life plans.
She wanted to use the Gu family as a big tree to find a rich man who could be entrusted with her life and get a marriage that was well-matched with her, instead of hiding in the dark like a rat in the gutter and doing immoral things! "I can't calm down! You've ruined my life!" Gu Xueying yelled.
Gu Yuji just stared at her steadily, and when she was done being crazy, he said, "Aren't these all your original plans?"
Gu Xueying was stunned.
Gu Yuji was almost close to her ear, whispering something that made her scalp tingle: "You have been deliberately seducing me for so many years, aren't you hoping to see the three of us brothers go crazy for you?"
Gu Xueying's face was filled with horror, and she took several steps back in fear.
"What? You seem very unhappy because I was right." Gu Yuji said.
Gu Xueying has been having the same dream over and over again since she was very young.
In the dream, Xu Youyou came back. Although her parents didn’t like her very much, her three brothers all revolved around this real sister. As a fake sister, she was like a servant in the Gu family.
When she reached a certain age, her father randomly arranged a marriage for her. Not long after, her husband's business went bankrupt. She had nowhere to turn to and went back to her family for help, but was met with everyone's cold stares.
Eventually, she moved from the most luxurious villa in Shanghai to the slums. The day-to-day household chores and the long-term frugal life made her face extremely materialistic, and her originally delicate and fair hands became extremely rough.
Just thinking about those days in her dreams made her feel extremely scared. Every time she woke up from a nightmare, she tried her best to think of a way out.
The support of the three brothers is crucial, and marrying into a wealthy family that is equal and will not go bankrupt is also extremely important.
Many things in the dream were extremely vague. She didn't remember who her original husband was, and she didn't think about it too much. She simply rushed directly to the most powerful young man in Shanghai: Lu Jingyao.
But all the efforts she put into Lu Jingyao did not receive any rewards.
However, her three brothers, using their sibling relationship as a cover, were able to enhance their relationship very smoothly.
It's just that because I tried too hard, the relationship changed.
"I still remember that ten years ago, it was thundering and raining outside. You said you were scared and came into my room late at night. We lay on the same bed and you called me brother all the time. Do you know what I was thinking?" Gu Yuji asked.
Gu Xueying shook her head vigorously.
She said she was afraid, but in fact she was not afraid at all. The reason she ran over was because she heard her mother say that Gu Yuji was most afraid of thunder and lightning when she was a child.
She used the excuse of being afraid to actually use her common ground to get closer to her brother.
"You should know the consequences of running into the bed of an adolescent man," Gu Yuji said coldly.
"Would a normal man have such thoughts about his sister?" Gu Xueying asked.
Gu Yuji didn't look ashamed at all, but said: "A normal sister wouldn't do such a thing. You were the one who crossed the line first."
Gu Xueying's face turned pale, and she kept muttering, "Mad man, you are really a mad man."
Not only was Gu Yuji not angry, but she smiled and said, "Welcome to the world of lunatics."
Jinling and Shanghai are not far apart, so Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao took the high-speed train on this trip.
However, as soon as they entered the VIP waiting room, they immediately saw two unpleasant faces.
Gu Xueying and Gu Yuji were sitting on the leather sofa at the entrance. Gu Yuji looked relaxed, but Gu Xueying was like a frightened bird.
