Zhou Wenbo exaggeratedly clutched his chest and said, "What you said really hit home!"
Zhou Wenyi burst out laughing at his joke.
When Zhou Wenbo saw that his younger sister finally smiled, he smiled too.
But when he thought about what he had found out, his smile faded.
"Little sister, there's something I think you should know."
"What is it?" Zhou Wenyi turned her head to look at Zhou Wenbo, feeling a little uneasy. She had a pretty good idea that it might be related to Gu Wei.
Zhou Wenbo gripped the steering wheel tightly. "Gu Wei owns a villa that he bought outright."
Zhou Wenyi stared wide-eyed in shock, hardly believing what she was hearing.
The housing prices in Qingcheng are there for all to see; a villa costs at least ten million yuan.
"He...he's a rich kid pretending to be poor?"
"Maybe so. Anyway, when we were colleagues, I never realized he was rich."
Zhou Wenbo continued, somewhat incredulously, "Moreover, after the company went bankrupt, he even set up a stall to sell watches. What was he after? To experience life? In this vast world, there are all kinds of people."
Zhou Wenyi knew more about Gu Wei's experiences than Zhou Wenbo did, thanks to Song Daming and the others. She said calmly, "There's nothing strange about that. Everyone has their own hobbies. Maybe in other people's eyes, you're still incomprehensible. Driving a sports car but only earning a few thousand yuan a month, what's the point?"
Zhou Wenbo smiled and nodded, "That's true. As long as it's not illegal, it's a matter of personal freedom, and no one has the right to interfere. But if his ex-girlfriend finds out about these things, wouldn't she regret it to the core? She dumped him because Gu Wei lost his job..."
Mentioning her ex-girlfriend Lu Xue immediately made Zhou Wenyi unhappy.
Their relationship underwent a dramatic change, and she became more possessive.
"It's no use regretting it now! He's my boyfriend, and nobody can take him away! Bro, do Mom and Dad know about this?"
Zhou Wenbo shook his head, "I don't know yet, I only told you that."
“Then let’s not tell them for now.” Zhou Wenyi lowered her eyes. “I want to wait for my Gu Wei to tell me himself.”
Zhou Wenyi comes from a well-off family and doesn't value money.
Whether Gu Wei is rich or poor doesn't matter, because she has fallen in love with this person.
However, it's fine if I didn't know, but after finding out, the shock was quite significant, and I'll definitely need to process it slowly.
Zhou Wenbo understood his sister's feelings and immediately agreed, then revealed his true thoughts.
"Actually, I'm quite happy to know that his situation isn't that bad. Because that way, I don't have to worry that he only agreed to be with you for our family's money."
Originally, Gu Wei was an orphan in his eyes. Even if he won the lottery, buying a car and opening a shop would only be a small amount of money.
So when his sister pursued someone and they eventually got together, he always felt that they were not a good match and that Gu Wei might have ulterior motives.
I can finally feel a little more at ease.
Zhou Wenyi understood that her brother hoped she could find true love and not be hurt by others.
"Don't worry, brother. We're really together because of love, there's nothing else involved."
Looking at his sister, who was so confident and whose eyes and brows were full of sweetness, Zhou Wenbo's heart skipped a beat. What else could he not guess?
grass!
That brat finally succeeded!
Damn it, I really want to punch someone!
...
Gu Wei, who was scolded as a brat, arrived home before Zhou Wenbo and his sister.
He put down the suitcase, found a change of clothes, and took a shower.
Shortly after I came out, the fast food delivery I ordered arrived.
After a satisfying meal, I sprawled comfortably on the sofa, picked up my phone, and started flirting with my girlfriend.
However, there was no response from the other side for a long time.
Gu Wei guessed that Zhou Wenyi was probably taking a shower or chatting with her family, so he wasn't in a hurry and planned to watch a movie.
People may all like to reminisce, and Gu Wei is no exception.
Compared to some recent blockbusters, he still prefers watching films made in previous years.
After searching for a long time, I finally watched a martial arts movie.
My phone beeped halfway through the movie.
Gu Wei reached over to the coffee table and picked up the phone that was lying face down.
It was discovered that the text message came from an unknown number.
If it's a scam text message, he won't even look at it; he'll just delete it.
However, the text message begins by introducing itself.
It came from Lu Xue's father, and the message was quite long.
After glancing at it, Gu Wei couldn't help but sneer.
Mr. Lu meant that Gu Wei, as a man, and having been in love with her, should be more magnanimous in the face of their past relationship. Besides, his daughter is already so pitiful because she is sick; there's no need to go to court.
Having gone through so much, how could Gu Wei possibly believe that Lu Xue was really sick?
They just felt that the other party was playing the victim to gain sympathy.
Moreover, before advising others to be magnanimous, they don't even take a good look at what good things their own daughters have done.
If Lu Xue had acted normally as an ex-girlfriend and hadn't been so clingy, Gu Wei wouldn't have ended up like this with her.
On the other side, Mr. and Mrs. Lu huddled together, staring intently at their phones.
I haven't received a reply yet.
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
With red and swollen eyes, Lu's mother asked in a low voice, "Will he... drop the charges?"
Mr. Lu picked up a lighter, lit a cigarette, took two deep drags, and replied in a low voice, "Who knows? Anyway, even if there's a verdict, it'll just be an apology and some compensation. We're doing these things for our child; we can't let her suffer any more trauma."
