Gu Lianzhou's expression remained grim as he listened to the news his assistant reported.
Will you always treat him like an older brother?
He lowered his brow and brushed aside the documents on the table with some irritation.
Who wants to be her brother?
None of the Shen family members are sincere.
He must not be deceived by her innocent and gentle appearance.
We must not be soft-hearted.
If she really had no other intentions, why would she secretly go to have dinner with Shen Zhang without telling him?
There must be something sinister going on.
"Mr. Gu," the secretary knocked on the door and came in, saying, "There's a girl downstairs looking for you. She says she's your sister."
younger sister?
Shen Zhiyi?
Gu Lianzhou was stunned for a moment, and his hand holding the pen stopped.
Wasn't she having dinner with Shen Zhang?
How come you got here so quickly?
Apart from a few senior executives in the company, most people were unaware that Shen Zhiyi had returned to his ancestral home.
So it's normal that the secretary doesn't recognize her.
He originally planned to follow Shen Qing's request and announce her identity to the entire group at the shareholders' meeting.
But she found me so quickly?
Is there some kind of plan?
Should she ultimately listen to Shen Zhang, come to the company, and announce her true identity as the real heiress in front of everyone, thus embarrassing him?
Gu Lianzhou stroked the pen with his fingertips, lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and capped the pen.
“Bring her up.”
He leaned back in his chair, watching his secretary turn away, and the image of Shen Zhiyi's bewildered face as she waited for him below flashed through his mind.
I felt inexplicably irritable.
"Wait." He suddenly stood up. "I'll go get him myself."
Where is he?
He strode out with his long legs.
The secretary was astonished.
President Gu is actually going down to pick them up in person?
He paused for a moment, then hurriedly caught up with him. "It's on the first floor, I'll take you there."
Shen Zhiyi sat on a bench in the bustling hall, her hands resting on her sides, staring at the hem of her skirt, seemingly lost in thought.
There was also a bulging cloth bag next to him.
"My God, is that really President Gu's sister? She's so beautiful, sitting there like a porcelain doll."
Several receptionists were gathered around gossiping.
"I've never heard of him having a younger sister... Could she be some kind of illegitimate child?"
"How could that be? Old Master Shen has been ill for so long. Besides, everyone in the industry knows how much he loved his deceased wife. Over the years, no other woman has ever appeared in his life. How could he possibly have another child?"
"Could that be some kind of romantic entanglement involving President Gu? This 'sister' is not that 'sister'!"
Everyone looked at each other, their faces filled with regret.
"President Gu is such a scoundrel, how could he lay a hand on such an innocent girl?"
Shh! Someone's coming!
As soon as Gu Lianzhou stepped out of the private elevator, he saw Shen Zhiyi sitting there with her head down, like a wilted little flower.
She heard the noise and looked up.
The moment she saw him, she jumped up, her eyes suddenly lighting up!
"elder brother!"
A pure smile bloomed on her face as she ran over, threw herself into his arms, and hugged his waist tightly.
Gu Lianzhou staggered back half a step after being bumped by her.
After regaining his balance, he slowly lowered his head and looked at the girl in his arms with her long eyelashes closed and a look of dependence and contentment on her face.
It felt like something had hit my heart.
Seeing him makes you this happy?
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" He placed his large hand on the back of her head, rubbed it, and said in a deep voice, "I can send someone to pick you up."
Shen Zhiyi tilted her head back in his palm.
"I want to give my brother a surprise." A faint smile appeared on her lips.
She released her grip on his waist, took two steps back, picked up the cloth bag from the bench, and proudly held it up to him.
“I made lunch for my brother, but on the way here, my second uncle called me away. I had a cup of tea and then came over.”
"Has brother eaten?"
"If you haven't eaten yet, you can try my cooking."
She opened the cloth bag, revealing the insulated lunchbox inside, and looked at Gu Lianzhou with clear eyes.
Gu Lianzhou was stunned for a moment.
It turns out that meeting Shen Zhang was an accident...
He misunderstood her.
He collected his thoughts, parted his lips, and said, "It's already lunchtime, why don't we just have dinner with Uncle?"
Shen Zhiyi pouted.
“My second uncle always says some strange things to me, and I lose my appetite when I hear them.”
"And..." she suddenly felt a little embarrassed and whispered, "I want to eat with my brother."
Gu Lianzhou's thoughts stirred slightly.
All the doubts I had just had vanished without a trace because of her words.
She seemed quite different from the rest of the Shen family...
It is so pure white and soft.
I have complete trust in him.
He took the cloth bag from her hand, put his arm around her shoulder, and said, "Then come upstairs with your brother."
The two figures, one tall and one short, walked away side by side and entered the elevator.
The receptionists' pupils dilated in shock, and the instant the elevator doors closed, their heads huddled together again, chattering away.
"They're so close, their relationship might really be illicit!"
"In all my years at the company, this is the first time I've ever seen President Gu hug someone! And speak so gently!"
...
Shen Zhiyi sat in her office, opened her lunchbox, and enthusiastically introduced, "Brother, try this. I made all kinds of farm-style dishes, which are very appetizing."
Looking at the dishes on the table, which looked and smelled delicious, Gu Lianzhou felt a strange tightness in his chest.
"You...cook for yourself?"
"Mmm." Shen Zhiyi nodded, secretly observing his expression. As if afraid that saying too much would cause him to feel guilty, she took a pair of chopsticks and put them in his hand.
