Chapter 53 How come I didn’t know that the Gu family had a second daughter?
A steady, middle-aged male voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Jiang Dongwei, the chairman of Jiang Group.
"Baozhu, have you seen Yanbai?"
"I met my uncle!"
Gu Baozhu's voice was sickeningly sweet.
"It's just... Yanbai suffered a minor head injury, but it's nothing serious. He's about to be discharged from the hospital."
"Well, I feel relieved knowing you are watching over him." Jiang Dongwei's voice was filled with satisfaction, and then he changed the subject.
"Please tell him to take you back to the old house for dinner tonight."
Jiang Yanbai frowned and was about to refuse, but Gu Baozhu quickly agreed, her tone full of unconcealable joy.
"Okay, uncle! We will be there on time!"
After the phone call was hung up, the pride on Gu Baozhu's face was about to overflow.
She looked at Jiang Yanbai with anticipation.
"Yanbai, tonight is our first official meeting with our parents. What kind of clothes do you think I should wear? How about... you accompany me to the mall to pick out some clothes?"
Jiang Yanbai only felt that her chattering made his head hurt even more.
He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, coldly interrupting her fantasy.
"You can wear anything, just go home first."
Facing Jiang Yanbai's undisguised cold words, Gu Baozhu seemed not to feel it and her enthusiasm remained undiminished.
She kept chattering until she arrived at the Jiang family.
"Yanbai, I really didn't expect that you would still live in the original Gu family."
Gu Baozhu helped him get out of the car while looking around.
"Is it because you're used to living here and have developed feelings for it that you don't want to leave?"
When Jiang Yanbai heard Gu Baozhu's innocent question, a cold arc appeared on the corner of his mouth.
There is no possibility of any feelings!
The only reason he stayed in this disgusting place was to make way for another person.
Let him also have a taste of the humiliation he suffered in the past.
He wanted Gu Miaomiao to see with her own eyes how everything she once cherished was taken away and crushed by him one by one!
This old house is just the beginning.
These surging thoughts flashed through his eyes for a moment.
He nodded lightly at Gu Baozhu's expectant face.
Just this one word made Gu Baozhu's heart indescribably happy.
She mustered up her courage and moved closer to Jiang Yanbai, stretched out her slender hand, and gently pulled his sleeve.
"By the way, you just said in the hospital that I can really live in any room I want among all the rooms here, is that true?"
Jiang Yanbai lowered his eyes, glanced at his sleeve that was being pulled by her, frowned slightly, and leaned to the other side of the sofa.
He nodded.
"I've picked it out. Let Aunt Wang pack it for you."
“That’s great!”
Gu Baozhu almost jumped up with excitement. She bit her lower lip shyly and looked at him with watery eyes.
"What about you? Yanbai, which room do you live in?"
Jiang Yanbai didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. He looked up at the building and raised his well-defined chin.
"That one."
Following the direction he indicated, Gu Baozhu's gaze fell precisely on the room next to the master bedroom on the second floor.
She was delighted and made a decision immediately!
I have to live next door to him! The one who is close to the water gets the moon first!
Gu Baozhu could no longer hold back, and rushed upstairs, lifting her skirt.
She turned the doorknob of the next room!
"Great! I want to live here! Like this...!"
Before she could finish her excited words, the light from the doorway was completely blocked by a slender figure.
Gu Miaomiao stood inside the door, her plain little face expressionless.
"Feel sorry."
Gu Miaomiao's voice was clear: "This is my room, I'm afraid you can't live in it."
The smile on Gu Baozhu's face froze instantly, and then she felt embarrassed!
She didn't waste time talking to Gu Miaomiao, but turned around and complained to Jiang Yanbai who was sitting on the sofa downstairs, her voice full of grievance.
"Yanbai! Look at her! I want to live in this room! You ask her to move out! I don't care!"
Downstairs, Jiang Yanbai slowly raised his head.
Upstairs, Gu Miaomiao was also leaning against the door frame, arms folded across her chest, looking down at him with an undisguised provocation in her eyes.
Jiang Yanbai understood the meaning in her eyes.
He looked at Gu Miaomiao's stubborn face, and the nameless anger in his heart started burning again, but the voice he spoke was a little softer.
He said to Gu Baozhu, "Baozhu, stop making trouble. She's used to living there, and the place is full of her things."
He paused and added.
"Besides, the place where others have lived is not clean, and it is unfair to you."
This is a very well said statement.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell it's perfunctory.
But Gu Baozhu fell for it and thought that Jiang Yanbai was just feeling sorry for her, and her anger subsided a lot.
She curled her lips and pointed to the closed door next to her.
"So...what if I live here?"
Jiang Yanbai looked in the direction she pointed, and his eyes darkened instantly.
He remembered clearly that there was a tattered doll placed in the guest room.
He spoke immediately, his tone brooking no argument.
"No. You sleep on the third floor."
"Third floor?"
Gu Baozhu's face fell, "But the third floor is so far away from you, it's too inconvenient to go up and down."
Jiang Yanbai completely lost his patience.
He rubbed his aching temples, raised his eyes, and the temperature in his eyes dropped to freezing point. He raised his eyebrows and asked in a cold voice.
"You don't want to?"
The chill in the voice made Gu Baozhu shiver violently.
She looked at Jiang Yanbai's handsome face, which no longer had any warmth.
He quickly forced a smile.
"No...no! I do! Of course I do!"
Otherwise, it would be a luxury to stay here.
After saying that, she immediately turned around and shouted at Aunt Wang downstairs in a domineering manner.
"Auntie Wang! Did you hear me? Help me clean up the largest room on the third floor! Hurry!"
After Gu Baozhu finished speaking, she went downstairs directly. She still wanted to develop a good relationship with Jiang Yanbai.
On the corridor on the second floor, Gu Miaomiao leaned against the door of her room, looked at Gu Baozhu's dejected back, and smiled gently.
Gu Baozhu had just arrived at the living room downstairs.
Another woman appeared in the living room.
The moment Lin Qing and Gu Baozhu's eyes met, they spoke at the same time and asked Jiang Yanbai.
"Brother Yanbai, who is she?"
He first glanced at Lin Qing casually, his voice calm.
"This is the daughter of the Gu family, Gu Baozhu."
Then, he turned his gaze to Lin Qing, and there seemed to be a hint of complex emotions in his cold eyes.
"Qingqing."
He paused and said, "This is my sister. She once saved my life and is staying here temporarily."
younger sister?
Saved a life?
These two words set off alarm bells in Gu Baozhu's heart.
A sister of unknown origin, or a lifesaver?
She had seen this kind of drama many times! It was nothing more than trying to use the favor to stay by Yan Bai's side!
Lin Qing's brows furrowed instantly, and her sharp gaze turned to Gu Baozhu again.
"Isn't the eldest lady upstairs? How come I didn't know that the Gu family has a second daughter?"
