Chapter 51. If you love me, kiss me
The nanny had lived with the Gu family for so many years, so how could she not know that Gu Shanshan and Gu Yuanchen had a bad relationship? She just didn't expect that her young lady had so much distress buried deep in her heart.
The more the nurse listened, the more she felt sorry for Gu Shanshan. She patted her back and was about to comfort her, but she heard a detail that puzzled her. She frowned and asked, "Miss, how could Xie's daughter have the surname Xu? Did you say it wrong?"
Gu Shanshan shook her head and blinked her red eyes and said, "No, I heard from my father that this Miss Xu has no blood relationship with Xie. She was just adopted by Xie from an orphanage. Xu should be her original surname, and her name doesn't seem to have changed. It's called... Oh, Xu Jiaru."
Xu Jiaru...
Why does this name sound familiar?
The nanny recited the name silently in her mind, and a strange feeling came over her. She intuitively felt that she had an unusual connection with this name, but for a moment she could not remember where she had heard it.
I heard... I don't seem to have heard of this name before. Could it be that I was wrong?
The nanny was immersed in her own thoughts, trying hard to search her memory. Suddenly, a light flashed in her mind and she thought of something, but the memory was too vague and the flash was too fast. She didn't have time to catch it before it disappeared.
However, a guess gradually came to her mind. She had never done anything wrong in her life, except for that one thing that made her feel uneasy. So Xu Jiaru must be related to that thing. She just needed to investigate along this line.
The more the nanny thought about it, the more anxious she became. She wanted to find out the details immediately, but Gu Shanshan, who kept complaining, was still leaning in her arms. What should she do?
In her anxiety, she rolled her eyes, and came up with a plan, and said in a gentle and persuasive way: "Miss, since the master won't give you a chance, then you should create one yourself."
"Create opportunities?" Gu Shanshan raised her head in confusion.
"Yes, now you should dress up again and go to the lobby to greet the guests. As the host, you will have the opportunity to meet the head of the Xie family when you see off the guests. As soon as they meet, I believe he will be fascinated by you." The nanny held Gu Shanshan's face with both hands and nodded with satisfaction.
Gu Shanshan smiled as if she had suddenly realized something, with a determined smile in her eyes. She said happily, "Nanny, you are so right. I didn't have the chance to meet Xie Fei because I was entangled with another rich second-generation. I must not miss this opportunity! Nanny, come on, help me wash and dress up."
The nanny happily agreed, quickly dressed her up, and after seeing her leave, she immediately turned around and went downstairs to her bedroom.
In the villa lobby, the banquet was coming to an end.
This time, Gu Shanshan followed her mother closely and no longer wandered around alone.
On the other side, Gu Yuanchen and Xu Jiaru hit it off immediately and had a great time talking to each other. When he was called by his father to greet the female guests, he was a little reluctant at first, but he was not an inexperienced child. He certainly knew the meaning of his father's move. However, after talking with Xu Jiaru, he gradually changed his attitude. For some reason, this girl gave him a very kind and familiar feeling, which made him want to get close to her involuntarily.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to end the show. Gu Yuanchen, still reluctant to leave, took Xu Jiaru to meet his mother. They happened to meet Gu's father and Xie Fei coming out of the reception room, so the four of them walked forward together.
Gu Shanshan saw the four people coming from a distance. Seeing Gu Yuanchen and Xie Fei talking and laughing, she felt a surge of jealousy in her heart, but at the same time, she became more determined to create an opportunity.
The few people gradually approached, and Gu's mother was about to speak, but Gu Shanshan spoke first, her voice charming and playful: "This must be the brother of the Xie family that Dad often talks about. He is really as outstanding as the rumors say, and makes people forget the ordinary when they see him."
She stretched out her fair and slender hand and said with a smile: "I'm Shanshan, nice to meet you."
Xie Fei looked over with a pair of cold eyes, and all the calculations hidden in the woman's eyes fell into his sight. Haha, he hadn't even gone to find the other party yet, but the other party had already set his sights on him.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and his bony hand slowly reached out to hold the other person's hand. An imperceptible trace of sarcasm flashed across his face, but his voice became softer: "Nice to meet you, Miss Shanshan."
Hearing Xie Fei's voice, Xu Jiaru was startled. It was the first time she heard Brother Fei speak so gently to a woman other than her. There was even a hint of smile in his tone. His eyes were staring at the other person like a beast seeing its prey, with a look of great interest.
Xu Jiaru was shocked and panicked. Xie Fei's eyes and expression were what she had always longed for. She finally saw them, but in this situation, her nose couldn't help but feel sore and tears welled up from the corners of her eyes.
Restraining the sadness in her heart, Xu Jiaru turned her head to look at Gu Shanshan opposite her. She was wearing a red floor-length skirt with a slit on the right side pulled up to her thigh, revealing her long and slender legs. The swaying hem of her skirt concealed her charm. She was wearing a pair of dazzling red high heels, which made her ankles look unusually white.
She leaned forward slightly, and the tight red dress outlined her graceful figure very charmingly, with enchanting posture and slender waist. The deep V-neck design on her chest showed off her full and beautiful collarbone, which was very seductive and made people unable to take their eyes off.
Xu Jiaru looked down at the dignified and elegant dress she was wearing without leaving a trace, and then thought about the baggy school uniform she usually wore. She had to admit - it was indeed incomparable.
Sighing silently, Xu Jiaru lowered her eyes. What should she do? What should she do? Her brother Fei seemed to be bewitched by a vixen. She was a little discouraged, but couldn't help feeling jealous and unwilling. She even secretly compared her figure with the other's.
Isn't it just sexy? She can do that too. She also has an impressive figure, but Brother Fei just hasn't seen it.
In fact, Xie Fei was always paying attention to Xu Jiaru out of the corner of his eye. He saw that she suddenly lost interest and her face was not very good. Her eyebrows seemed to show some fatigue and sadness.
Seeing her like this, Xie Fei didn't care about anything else. He exchanged a few words with Gu's father and immediately took her away.
On the way back, Xie Fei's slightly calloused hand gently touched Xu Jiaru's forehead, stared at her with a pair of cold eyes, and asked lightly: "Are you feeling unwell? You look a little pale."
"Maybe, I have a cold..." Xu Jiaru let him touch her, shook her head gently, and said in a low voice with a choked voice.
She pursed her lips, trying to suppress the urge to cry, but her heart felt stuffy and panicky, her nose was a little blocked, and tears flowed through her sore eyes, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Xie Fei frowned when he heard that. The hand that was touching her forehead took her shoulders and with a little effort, he pulled her into his arms. At the same time, his other hand pressed the air conditioner button to turn up the temperature: "Close your eyes and rest for a while. When we get home, let Sister Liu make you a bowl of ginger soup."
Xu Jiaru leaned in his arms in a daze, his warm body temperature transmitted to her body little by little through her clothes. After gradually coming back to her senses, she grabbed Xie Fei's clothes around his waist little by little with both hands, rubbed her little face on his chest, said "hmm" softly, and then slowly closed her eyes.
Brother Fei, Jiaru really likes you, so much that your every move can easily affect my mood. The master of this body is no longer my brain, but you.
When she got home, Xu Jiaru's thoughts were a little fuzzy. She leaned limply against Xie Fei. She felt someone carrying her back to the room while she was drowsy. She seemed to have taken some medicine, and then she didn't remember anything.
When she woke up the next day, she still felt a little headache. It was already bright outside the window, and she knew without looking that it was definitely past seven o'clock.
Xu Jiaru rubbed her forehead and went downstairs. Mrs. Liu was cooking porridge in the kitchen. She greeted her, "Mrs. Liu, what happened to me last night?"
"Miss, you're awake. Come over and have some porridge. You had a low fever last night, but you're better now after taking the medicine. However, the master has already asked for leave. You should have a good rest at home today and go back to school tomorrow." Sister Liu said as she came over with porridge and a few side dishes.
Xu Jiaru nodded and drank the porridge in small sips.
After a day of rest at home, I feel much better, but I still feel a little weak. I don’t know if it’s because of my mood.
The next day, after the first class at school, Fang Ziyao turned around and looked at her, and asked with concern: "Are you still not well? Why do you look so bad?"
"My physical illness has been cured, but my mental illness is hard to cure." Xu Jiaru lay on the table, her brows slightly furrowed, with an indelible sorrow in her eyes.
"Heartache?" Fang Ziyao understood, "It's your brother Fei, right? He's really handsome, no wonder you like him so much."
"So what if I like her? I still can't compare to a big-breasted beauty." Xu Jiaru murmured.
"Hey, Xu Jiaru, are you deliberately mocking me? You are a big-breasted beauty, but you still sigh like that." Fang Ziyao pointed her index finger at her forehead, angrily, and then pouted her lips and asked, "What happened that made you look so hopeless?"
Xu Jiaru raised her head and looked directly at Fang Ziyao. After hesitating for a long time, she told him the whole story. Finally, she pleaded pitifully, "Military Advisor, please help me."
Fang Ziyao touched her chin in an unfathomable manner: "Okay, let's go clothes shopping this Saturday, and you have to listen to me this time!"
"Yes, I will definitely listen to you." Xu Jiaru nodded heavily.
…
On Saturday, Xu Jiaru and Fang Ziyao went home separately after buying clothes. At noon, she called Xie Fei to ask her to go home early. Then around four o'clock in the afternoon, she started preparing a candlelight dinner as Fang Ziyao had asked. She also bought many balloons and ribbons to decorate the house, and beautiful music started playing early.
After everything was ready, she went back to her room, took a shower, and put on her newly bought scarlet knee-length dress. She put a little makeup on her fair face, which was simple but radiant.
Xu Jiaru walked downstairs with brisk steps. At this moment, she heard the sound of a car driving in from outside the house. She immediately came to the table, opened a bottle of red wine, slowly poured it into the high-heeled glass on the table, then held the glass with her white fingertips and shook it gently. She half-leaned lazily on the table, her almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed, and swept towards the door with her eyes like smoke waves, looking around with radiance.
