Chapter 45: Give Mr. Si a Call?

 

The fake warmth that he is showing right now is giving Zhuang Nai Nai goosebumps.

The confession that she was about to give can only be swallowed back down.

If she confess to everything right now, will they be furious and take it out on her mother?

Zhuang Nai Nai is so anxious that her hands are trembling.

Gu De Shou, who is still smiling kindly, asks her, “What was it that you were going to say?”

I cannot say it anymore!

Zhuang Nai Nai swallows heavily, “Oh, I want to ask you about the dinner tonight.  What am I going to wear?  Will my siblings like me?”

Gu De Shou laughs, “You can wear whatever you want!  You are my daughter, that is what matters!”

A simple sentence that contains dual meanings.

Is Gu De Shou trying to reaffirm that she is indeed his daughter?

+-+-+-+-+-+-

Zhuang Nai Nai who is obediently following Gu De Shou home is feeling listless.

During dinner, she meets her so-called siblings for the first time.  The brother is named Gu Xing Hao, he is younger than her by two years.  He is 20 years old this year, still in college.  He looks arrogant as hell, looking at her as though she is not worthy of being his sister.

The sister is called Gu Xing Shan.  She is only 18 years old and has only finished taking her college entrance exam.  She looks so innocent, but her eyes are calculating, she should not be underestimated.

When they see her, Gu Xing Hao laughs loudly, “So you are our sister who grew up in the slums?  Heh, tell us, how did you make Mr. Si agree to marry you?”

He sounds really disdainful.

Gu De Shou stands up, “Xing Hao, is that the proper way to talk to your older sister?”

Gu Xing Hao waves him off, “Dad, everyone were asking me the same thing at school.  It is known that Mr. Si has never been close to any women before.  Although this sister of mine looks good, she looks so poor.  How could Mr. Si fell for her?  Could she be lying to us?”

Gu Xing Shan speaks up, her voice slow and gentle.  Although it seems like she is speaking up for Zhuang Nai Nai…… “Ge, please watch the way you speak.  What will our sister get from lying to us?  Mr. Si ought to have his own reason for liking our sister!”

(TN: Ge = Older brother.)

Gu Xing Hao laughs.  “I don’t know about that.  What I do know is, the moment the news blows up, this sister of ours took 500,000 yuan from us.”  He looks at Zhuang Nai Nai.  “Older sister, don’t tell us that this is just a drama and that those pictures were actually photoshopped by you?”

Gu De Shou and Li Yu Feng finally seem to sense something off.

Zhuang Nai Nai’s eyes darken as she becomes more and more anxious.

Gu Xing Shan smiles, “Ge, the pictures are definitely real.  Who dares to make up rumors about Mr. Si?  Honestly, if people does not believe her, older sister can always give Mr. Si a call and asks him to clarify everything for her.”

Call Si Zheng Ting?

Isn’t that basically seeking death?

Zhuang Nai Nai’s heart races.

 

Serene:  The younger brother is smart hahaha
