Chapter 82 The Vicious Female Supporting Character's Charming Sister 15
"So he kidnapped my sister just to paint a picture?"
Gu Nanyuan drank the chicken soup cooked by Su's mother and listened to Nan Qiao's story with a strange look on her face.
"Could it be that he's a painter who's gone crazy just to paint? Some artists will do anything for inspiration. I think my brother and the others should investigate this. Especially, they should go to a mental hospital and investigate!"
She even kidnapped her sister just to paint a picture. Isn't that insane?
Nan Qiao was also holding a bowl of chicken soup in her hand. It was made by Su's mother in the afternoon after she learned that Nan Qiao had returned safely. She added some mushrooms to the soup, which was salty, fresh and delicious, making people's mouths water at the sight.
She shook her head: "I don't know if the name he said is real."
Gu Nanyuan's eyes rolled slightly: "I think it's more likely to be true."
What's the point of going to so much trouble to kidnap your sister, preparing her favorite food every day, and then just sitting there doing nothing?
It can't really be just for a painting. Painting a painting is so simple, there's no need to kidnap someone to paint it.
If we rule out the possibility that he was just after a painting, then what the other party was after was only two days of spending time with his sister.
If the other party really just wanted to spend time with his sister, why would he be willing to use a fake name that would make his sister only remember him?
Gu Nanyuan tried to guess what was going on, but even as she bit the spoon, she still felt a little confused.
The gangster's actions proved that he cared about my sister's feelings and didn't seem like someone who didn't understand her character. If he really liked my sister, why didn't he just come out and interact with her openly?
Why hide it and do something illegal like kidnapping?
Is there something unspeakable hidden...
Gu Nanyuan came back to her senses and saw Nan Qiao, who was also lost in thought. To prevent her sister from being trapped in the shadow of being kidnapped, she quickly changed the subject and said, "Sister, drink your soup first. It's almost cold."
"Auntie Su's soup is really delicious, light and sweet, and so fragrant!"
At this time, Su's mother came out of the kitchen carrying dishes. Even though there was a nanny at home, she liked to cook for her children herself. When she heard Gu Nanyuan's praise, she couldn't stop smiling.
"If it's delicious, drink more. I also made a few dishes. Come and eat."
Gu Nanyuan responded crisply, holding the bowl and pulling her sister over. On the marble-style dining table were several dishes: braised spare ribs, boiled shrimp, mushroom and pork slices, and braised choy sum.
They were all ordinary home-cooked dishes, which could not be compared with the exquisite dishes made by the Gu family chef, but Gu Nanyuan liked them very much and never stopped eating after sitting down at the table.
Nan Qiao smiled and said, "Are you that hungry?"
Gu Nanyuan was holding a piece of braised pork ribs on her chopsticks. As she ate, she said happily, "I'm not hungry, but Aunt Su's cooking is so delicious!"
Mother Su was naturally happy that her cooking was praised. She used the serving chopsticks to pick up a few more dishes and put them on the plate in front of Gu Nanyuan. She smiled and said, "If it tastes good, eat more. If you like to eat it in the future, come to Aunt Su's house."
Then she remembered that there was still some braised pork stewing in the kitchen, so she stood up and walked towards the kitchen: "Auntie Su is still stewing some braised pork, I'll serve it to you..."
Gu Nanyuan had a smile on her face as she looked at the food in the bowl, but as she smiled, she felt her nose getting sore and even her eating movements slowed down.
"Yuanyuan, what's wrong?" Nan Qiao quickly noticed that his sister was in a bad mood. He put down the dishes in his hands, walked over to her and sat down.
She leaned over and saw her sister's slightly red eyes and a look of shock on her face. Nan Qiao pursed her lips, feeling a little helpless. Why did she suddenly become sad while eating?
Gu Nanyuan sniffed, and seeing her sister's nervous face, she burst into laughter again: "I'm fine!"
She suddenly felt that she had something.
What is emo?
The Gu family is also pretty good.
Although Mrs. Gu did not treat her with the care and concern that she did with Aunt Su, and she did not lower her status as a lady to cook for her husband and children, she still gave her a stable and affluent life.
Even though her mother opposed her getting to know her sister at first, she never stopped her from interacting with her sister in the past year.
She should be content.
Gu Nanyuan smiled brightly again. The depression and resentment that had accumulated in her heart for many years seemed to be completely dissipated by the sunlight at this moment.
Seeing his sister happy, Nan Qiao didn't ask any more questions, but just touched her hair with some pity.
"If it's delicious, eat more. Mom loves cooking, and she'll be very happy to have you cheer her on."
*
After a week's break, Nan Qiao returned to school. Su Rui had requested a week's leave for her. The school was not alerted to her disappearance, so the students there thought she had simply taken a week off due to family matters.
The days after returning to school were as peaceful as usual. The kidnapping did not have much impact on Nan Qiao, but it left a shadow in Gu Nanyuan's heart.
For a long time afterwards, she stayed with her sister all day long, never leaving her side. She no longer liked to take her sister out to play like before, but instead lived a life that revolved between the Su family, the dormitory, and school.
Nan Qiao has been paying attention to the follow-up of the kidnapping, but she has not received any exact information from the police, which makes her feel a little disappointed.
However, the relatively busy campus life that followed also made her gradually let go of her subsequent attention to this matter and become more immersed in life.
The weather in City B has distinct seasons. Late autumn is gradually passing and early winter is gradually setting in. The two sisters' birthdays are relatively close to each other. Gu Nanyuan's birthday is in mid-September, while Nanqiao's birthday is in mid-November.
Snowflakes began to fall in City B, landing on the ground like goose feathers, and a layer of white frost instantly appeared on the smooth ground.
Nan Qiao's birthday happened to be on Saturday, so she could go home and celebrate. Su's mother cooked a large table of dishes at home, and Su Rui invited several of Nan Qiao's close friends to come and celebrate her birthday.
It snowed heavily on the birthday. Although the family hired a nanny, Nan Qiao and his sister were still used to helping their mother. The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen, and the busy backs of the three people made people feel warm.
The doorbell rang. Su Rui placed the casserole of mutton soup on the marble table and motioned his sister to open the door. Nan Qiao walked to the door, opened the peephole, looked through it, then smiled brightly and opened the door.
"Happy birthday! Sister!" Gu Nanyuan, dressed warmly, came in skipping and hugged Nan Qiao.
The heater was on in the room. The girl was only wearing a thin long-sleeved shirt. Her sister was hugging her around the neck, with her chin lowered to her shoulder. Her eyes were shining with tiny smiles, and she was gentle and intoxicating.
"Nanyuan, take off your coat first." Gu Zhuo was in a good mood, and even his voice was warm.
It was freezing cold outside. They came in the wind and snow, and even their clothes were covered with frost and snow. If Nan Yuan hugged him suddenly like this, she would feel the cold.
It’s not that Gu Nanyuan didn’t understand, but she was just too happy and forgot for a moment. When she heard her elder brother’s reminder, she quickly let go.
Su Rui didn't invite many people. Ning Chu, Chu Xiao, Zuo Yan, Gu Zhuo, and Gu Nanyuan were all Qiao Qiao's good friends this year. They were familiar with each other and there was no awkwardness in getting along with each other.
Nan Qiao brought a few people into the living room, asked them to sit down, and asked her aunt to prepare hot tea for them.
Gu Nanyuan had a very keen sense of smell, and her eyes were filled with anticipation: "Sister, did Aunt Su cook mutton? It smells so good..."
She came to the Su family for dinner almost every week during this period. She had a deep understanding of Su's mother's cooking skills and could tell what dish Su's mother was making just by smelling it.
Su Rui came out with some fruit and smiled when he heard this: "Indeed, I made casserole lamb. Now that the weather is cold, lamb is the best."
Gu Nanyuan swallowed and suddenly felt a little hungry.
The meal was quickly completed. Su's mother came out of the kitchen with the last dish and called the children in the living room to eat.
The casserole lamb, which has been stewed for more than two hours, is salty and delicious. Carrots and other side dishes are added to it. It is bright in color, salty and delicious, and it immediately attracts the taste buds after it enters the mouth.
Gu Nanyuan loves to eat, and she was eating especially happily at this moment. Her eyes were slightly narrowed with satisfaction, which made Nan Qiao smile. The stars in her eyes became brighter and brighter, as if shrouded in a halo, making people feel dizzy and distracted.
Nan Qiao was focused on her sister and didn't notice the other people's looks. The Su family didn't have a rule about not talking while eating, but there was no sound of talking at the table.
Zuo Yan and the others are good-looking and have great temperament, which makes them very eye-catching. Their eyes drift towards Nan Qiao from time to time, making it impossible not to notice them.
Mother Su looked at the three young men with wandering eyes, then looked at her daughter who was unaware of anything, and she understood what was going on.
During the days when Qiao Qiao was missing, she also remembered that it seemed like these boys were busy running around...
Su's mother drank her soup and looked at them scrutinizingly. She was already thinking about asking her son to tell her about the situation.
She wouldn't interfere too much in who Qiao Qiao dated, but she still wanted to know more about the person her daughter was dating.
The doorbell suddenly rang, and the nanny opened the door and walked in holding a long box.
Su Rui: "Aunt Li, what's in your hand?"
Aunt Li: "The man said it was a delivery from Qiao Qiao."
express delivery?
Nan Qiao was a little confused. She hadn't bought anything online recently, so where did the express delivery come from?
Although she was confused, she still stood up and tried to take the box from her hand, but it was taken away by a big hand.
Nan Qiao glanced over and saw Chu Xiao smiling and saying gently, "School girl, is this what you bought?"
Nan Qiao shook her head. It had snowed recently, so she hadn't bought anything online. She also spent most of her time at school, so her delivery address was the school address, so packages rarely came home.
Chu Xiao seemed to be thinking: "Do you mind if I open it and take a look?"
Nan Qiao was slightly startled, and her eyes shifted slightly to the box in his hand. The box was long and thin, wrapped in an ordinary express box, and it was impossible to tell what was inside.
She nodded and agreed.
Chu Xiao used a courier knife to cut open the box, revealing the box inside. The mahogany box was equally slender, looking quite luxurious and elegant. Chu Xiao's fingers were well-defined, and their whiteness was even more apparent when placed on the mahogany box. There was a cut on the side of the box, and he pressed it lightly, and the box opened.
When the box was opened, the contents were completely revealed.
There was a scroll of rolled-up paper on the Orange Emperor's mat...it seemed like a painting?
painting?
Nan Qiao's pupils dilated slightly. He took the painting out of the box, untied the rope, and the whole painting hung down completely.
The paper was thin and shaky, but that didn't prevent everyone from seeing the girl in the painting clearly.
Her hair is as black as a waterfall, her smile is bright, and her eyes are as clear as autumn water, captivating people's hearts.
But it made Nan Qiao's face turn pale.
This is... the drawing the man drew when he was kidnapped.
There was a piece of paper under the wooden box. Chu Xiao hesitated for a moment, then picked it up. He folded the paper in half and opened it. He saw the words written on it:
Happy birthday, Qiao Qiao, I look forward to seeing you next time.
The relaxed atmosphere completely dissipated. Except for Ning Chu who was still confused, everyone else's faces began to turn ugly.
Zuo Yan's eyes were filled with chill, and his cold gaze seemed to penetrate the entire wooden box. "Let's check the surveillance first."
Gu Nanyuan took a few steps forward and hugged her sister, comforting her softly: "Sister...it's okay...don't be afraid."
Nan Qiao pulled the corners of his mouth weakly, trying not to let his sister worry about him, but he couldn't say anything. He could only hug his sister and draw strength from her.
After all, she was still afraid knowing that there was someone watching her in the dark.
The author has something to say:
Sorry for being late!
