Chapter 77 What sworn brotherhood? It doesn’t exist!
Hearing such an unfamiliar question, Wen Wanbai felt guilty. She didn't put away the smile on her face, but continued in a gentle tone: "I am just an investor who wants to support this school."
When the principal heard that something was going to happen, he immediately came out to smooth things over.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Wen, you haven't eaten yet, right? Otherwise, Mr. Wen, let's go eat together."
"The restaurants near our school are amazing!"
He worked hard to create an image of himself that was approachable to the people, attempting to win favor with Mr. Wen of Yuanye Group.
When Gu Xia saw Wen Wanbai, unlike Ning Anran who was alert, Gu Xia was completely stunned.
"Host, please rest assured. This system has detected that the heroine's biological mother has no hostility towards you, the host, nor does she have any intention of splitting your head open with a shovel."
Gu Xia: “…”
It’s really not her fault that she wants to be silent sometimes.
"Please, I haven't done anything outrageous. Mr. Wen from Yuanye Group is a cultured man after all, he wouldn't be so vulgar!"
"But, the heroine just kissed you~"
"This is called friendship. What do you know? This is pure friendship! Didn't I tell you? We all act this way in this city."
"I know you, your name is Gu Xia?"
"Boss Gu's sister, I've heard a lot about you."
Wen Wanbai stretched out her fair palm and placed it in front of Gu Xia.
When Ning Anran heard the woman in front of him mention Gu Lindong, he unconsciously took two steps back and revealed Gu Xia who he had been hiding.
It wouldn't be too much if Gu Lindong's business friends greeted her sister and invited her to dinner.
I cannot and have no right to interfere with Gu Xia's normal social life.
"Do you know my sister?"
Gu Xia responded politely, and she immediately caught the wrongness in Wen Wanbai's words, that is, Wen Wanbai had met Gu Lindong.
Otherwise, if they were just ordinary business friends, how could Wen Wanbai know that his dear sister had a younger sister.
No way!!! Gu Lindong must have some "shocking secret" that he hasn't told me!
"Of course I know him. Mr. Gu is young and promising, and is admired by everyone in our circle."
Gu Xia heard this many times at home and at work. Usually, her sister's partners and relatives and friends would immediately add a second sentence after saying the first one.
"It's a pity that Mr. Gu's sister isn't cut out for business. She just tinkers with her paintbrushes all day long. I don't know which academy would accept her."
Gu Xia would roll her eyes every time she heard this. What do these people know? Do they know the value of being an art student who failed the exam?
"I met with Ms. Gu the other day and she said her sister was a lovely child. Now that I see her, it's exactly what she said."
Is this a compliment to yourself?
It doesn’t sound like it!
"Host, judging by the heroine's biological mother's mental state, she should be praising you."
She felt relieved if it wasn't a shady trick!
"Ms. Gu, could you introduce the person next to you? She looks like a student at Imperial Capital University."
Finally got to the point.
Could it be that Wen Wanbai has already realized by now that Ning Anran is her child?
Changing the story line in the original novel also means that the general plot of the original novel will change accordingly. Gu Xia speculated that someone might have leaked the news about Ning Anran to Wen Wanbai.
So... seeing Ning Jin at the Imperial Capital University that day was not an accident, but rather Ning Jin's deliberate act.
…
In the end, they all went out to eat together.
However, they did not get to eat the hotpot they had been craving for. Instead, they were led to a high-end restaurant by the president of Imperial Capital University.
Ning Anran was not unaware of the concern that Wen Wanbai showed her. She looked at Wen Wanbai's eyebrows and felt a sense of familiarity, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Could it be that I look like someone like her?
That's why he is so concerned about me.
All the mess in her mind emerged completely, and Ning Anran thought of the "stand-in literature" she accidentally saw on Gu Xia's mobile phone interface when she helped Gu Xia get his mobile phone at night.
The name of the novel is "My Sister Treats Me as a Substitute and Dotes on Me Every Night!"
With just a quick glance, Ning Anran saw a very explosive conversation.
——"Why, you always mistake me for her! Who are you looking at through me with those eyes? Don't you think you have no conscience? It's because I look like her! That's why you have pity on me!"
"My sister, no, that's not right. From today on, I will leave this house and pretend I've never known you!"
The woman pulled her hand over, her anger gushing onto Shen Ruanruan's delicate face. Her eyes were filled with three parts of coldness, three parts of ridicule, and four parts of indifference, and she was about to kiss Shen Ruanruan's bright red lips.
"Crazy! I'm telling you, even if I die, jumping off this building, I won't stay with you anymore! Who do you think you are? You're not even worth my second glance!"
[The following part will be omitted for several thousand words. Because the scenes with clear meanings are not allowed to be broadcast, they will be replaced by "..."]
Completely unaware that Ning Anran had begun to fall into endless speculation, Gu Xia held the back of Ning Anran's hand with his warm hand.
Her eyes were determined as if she was going to join the party, and she said softly to Ning Anran: "It's okay, Ning Anran, I'm here, you don't have to worry."
"I will protect you."
"Ding Dong Dong! Ding Dong Dong! Host, the heroine's favorability value +1!"
When Gu Xia heard the system's prompt, he was so proud that even his "little tail" stuck out.
Sure enough, Ning Anran looked like an almighty, calm and restrained college bully, but in fact, he was very wary of Wen Wanbai's approach.
Is she the only one who is not afraid?
"That's right, host. Based on the heroine's interpersonal relationship favorability survey, this system has come to a shocking conclusion!"
"What conclusion?! If you keep on talking nonsense, I'll send you to Gotham City^^"
"You are the only one who currently has a favorability rating of over 20% for the heroine, and that's you~"
"Isn't this considered shockingly good news?"
When Gu Xia heard the system's words, she almost fell on the table. She didn't expect that Ning Anran really - didn't have a single friend.
But it doesn’t matter, now Ning Anran’s only friend is himself!
She wants to become sworn sisters with Ning Anran!!!
"Host, I've already told you to drink less Chinese medicine when you're fine. You seem completely clueless right now. What the hell is this sworn brotherhood thing? This system is a strategy system. The kind that requires the host and the protagonist to kiss each other."
"Sworn brotherhood is completely forbidden~"
"Also, as a Sanhao system that fully respects the host's prophecies, whether the host prefers humanoid creatures, large ghosts, or even vampires lying in coffins, this vicious cannon fodder self-rescue system is extremely tolerant and will not discriminate in any way. I respect any eccentric preferences of the host~"
Gu Xia: stoop...if you keep going on, your clear hint will be cut off!
