Chapter 33


Jiang Family parents were stunned, obviously very enraged by Gu Qi's words.

Both of them felt disbelief at the same time.

They couldn't understand why their daughter, who was once well-behaved and sensible in their memory, became cold and refused to communicate with them and now said such unpleasant words.

For a moment, they didn't know how to refute.

Anyone who saw the other person's calm face amidst an argument would feel like a fist hitting cotton and no strength was put to use and could only bubble in anger even more.

So over the years, anyone who had a conflict with Gu Qi was easily angered by her calm attitude.

Father Jiang didn't care so much. He snatched the cane from Jiang Lechuan to hit Gu Qi again.

Gu Qi didn't dodge this time.

Jiang Lechuan reacted quickly and blocked it.

Jiang Lechuan gritted his teeth and didn't make any sound when the cane hit his arm hard.

Mother Jiang's eyes flashed with heartache. Still, it was obvious that she didn't agree with Jiang Lechuan's protection of Gu Qi. Then she looked at Gu Qi and uttered in a tone full of blame: "Why are you so insensible? Your parents won't harm you. Are you happy to see your Younger Brother being beaten for you?"

"Mom!"

Jiang Lechuan called out. At this moment, his brain was still in a state of confusion and even numbness because of his entangled thoughts. There were too many things to think about.

He didn't know what to say, so he could only show a little pleading: "...you guys go back."

As Jiang Lechuan's voice fell.

The door behind him was opened.

Ning Xiwei adjusted her mood, walked out with a smile, and shouted: "Elder Sis Gu Qi, Younger Brother... Lechuan"

Obviously, the last few words were said through gnashing teeth and unwillingness.

The Jiang Family parents never thought that there was a stranger who they didn't know at all in their daughter's home. How much did she hear about the conversation just now?

Ning Xiwei looked at Gu Qi in confusion as if she had just discovered that Gu Qi's parents were here and asked, "Who are these two?"

"Hello, young miss. We are Gu Qi's parents and are here to see her." Jiang Lechuan's mother quickly pulled down the cane that her husband had used to beat her son and chatted as if nothing had happened: "You are Gu Qi's friend, right? Young miss looks pretty and lovable."

"Ahaha, Auntie, you are too kind." Ning Xiwei was a very sociable person. After chatting with Mother Jiang for a few words, she looked at Gu Qi naturally, "I have memorized my lines. When will we continue to act? Uncle and Auntie are here. Did I come at the wrong time today?

Director Zhang is rushing us, but it shouldn't matter. After all, it seems that you have something to deal with here? Family affairs are more important. I will help you to make it clear with Director Zhang."

Ning Xiwei's retreat was a beautiful move.

If she leaves today, it means that Gu Qi's family affairs interfere with their work. Whatever behind this will make people imagine. 

She had listened for so long and the key information she grasped was that the middle-aged couple in front of her was very face-conscious and they must not slip up in front of an outsider.

So Mother Jiang immediately said: "No, no, we just passed by to have a look. We are in a hurry to go back. It's nothing important."

Father Jiang snorted coldly, but did not say anything to refute. He just said: "Go home with your Younger Brother on Friday. It's been a long time since our family had a meal together. Understand?"

"Let's talk about it later."

Gu Qi perfunctorily used these words. She knew that she needed to give them a stage down before they could leave, so she didn't express rejection.

Watching his parents' departing backs, Jiang Lechuan rubbed his arm and looked at Ning Xiwei, "Who is your Younger Brother? Why are you calling me that?"

He only had Gu Qi as his Elder Sister, okay?

Although he didn't know what year Ning Xiwei was born, Ning Xiwei debuted later than him and was a junior. How could a junior call a senior like that?

Ning Xiwei sneered and unhappily refuted, "Just now, wasn't it just for the sake of acting that we had to pretend to have a good relationship? Do you think I would want to have a stupid Younger Brother like you? I only have Elder Sis Gu Qi in my heart..."

Ning Xiwei paused in the midst of her words.

She looked to her left and suddenly found that Gu Qi, who was standing there, had disappeared without a trace.

Ning Xiwei looked at Jiang Lechuan and asked in confusion, "Where is Gu Qi?"

Jiang Lechuan finally caught on.

He widened his eyes, more shocked than Ning Xiwei: "Oh, right, where's Elder Sister!?"

He even instinctively looked in the direction where his parents left, afraid that Elder Sister had been taken away by his parents without him noticing.

Just like every time before separation when he was a child.

He cried and refused to let Elder Sister return to the Jiāng Family and his parents would always agree to him in a nice tone.

But when he was not paying attention or took a nap or was sent away for some other reason, Elder Sister had already left.

Although he only knew now that Elder Sister was not voluntary and over there, in a place he could not see, she suffered too much.

Jiang Lechuan showed a bit of confusion on his face. Even his eyes were faintly red for some reason.

Ning Xiwei was shocked.

She saw Gu Qi who came out from behind with a garbage bag, and then looked at Jiang Lechuan who was looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle to prevent tears from falling (and didn't see Gu Qi), and asked: "Why are you crying when your Elder Sister is going out to throw away the garbage?"

Is there anything Jiang Lechuan's treasure in this garbage bag?

Jiang Lechuan: "Wa... huh???"

Oh, Elder Sister just went into the house to get the garbage bag.

Alright, it was fine.

Inside the house.

It should be all over for the time being and they could at least have a good rest for two days.

Seeing Jiang Lechuan's sad face, Wen Renjing grinned deeper and suggested: "Anyway, all you two families need is a marriage relationship. The Gong Family also has a daughter who can marry Jiāng Fengzhi. Why don't you guys switch and you marry Jiāng Zhiyu."

Jiang Lechuan was stunned and exclaimed: "No!"

If one person must fulfil the marriage, he could stand in for Elder Sister.

But Jiāng Zhiyu, no way.

She...she wasn't nice to Eister Sister.

"Wen Renjing." Gu Qi raised her head, smiled, and looked at Wen Renjing, saying: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll have to trouble you to leave."

Wen Renjing immediately made a zipper-zipping motion to his mouth, indicating that he didn't dare to do it.

At this moment.

Mu Yuan, who had been standing quietly by the side, suddenly handed the phone to Gu Qi.

Gu Qi took it with some confusion and then saw that the marketing accounts were all exposing the latest news.

Well, exposing her and Jiāng Fengzhi's news.

Entertainment Melon Melon Melon V: "Shocked! Insider information is a big melon! Gu Qi and Jiāng Fengzhi have actually been together for a long time. The two families have always had a close cooperative relationship and have long had a marriage plan. It's just that now this matter has come out...  who knows if they can still enter the marriage arrangement as promised.

In Melon Melon's opinion, Jiāng Zhiyu is a completely spoiled rotton eldest miss. In fact this matter may not be related to Jiāng Fengzhi. After all, in Meng Yu's diary, when mentioning 'the queen's family', it indicates he also stopped the queen's behavior. I guess this family refers to Jiāng Fengzhi.

The younger sister's fault is not the elder brother's. She paid the price, but it shouldn't affect the elder brother's original feelings. Melon Melon believes that, putting these aside, Gu Qi and Jiāng Fengzhi are still very compatible. I hope they can overcome difficulties and finally achieve success."

After saying that, it also added a CP-oriented editing video of Gu Qi and Jiāng Fengzhi.

In fact, they already had a certain number of CP fans in the previous episodes and there were some relatively high-quality editing in the circle.

In the eyes of Gu Qi and Jiāng Fengzhi's CP fans, the two were of similar age and Gu Qi was suspected of having stayed at Jiāng Fengzhi's house when little. WAsn't this the standard configuration of childhood sweethearts male and female lead in novels?

What's more, they have a very big sweetness point-

That was, no matter when, Jiāng Fengzhi's eyes would fall on Gu Qi.

He was very low-key in the show and hardly took the initiative to talk to people. He was just there to accompany his younger sister.

However, every time the camera was on Jiāng Fengzhi, he mostly looked in the direction of Gu Qi.

It was just that because the audience watched this show to eat family affection, this CP had never been too popular. Still, there have always been fans who firmly gobble this sweetness in the circle.

But now it was different.

It was obvious that someone bought a marketing account behind the scenes. The CP-oriented editing videos of Gu Qi and Jiāng Fengzhi have begun to break through millions one by one. There was even a trend direction of becoming the 'domestic entertainment BG CP'.

Some people began to say that they were childhood sweethearts and wealthy male and female leads. These people uniformly began to put distance between Jiāng Fengzhi and Jiāng Zhiyu and even used Jiāng Zhiyu’s existence to add a touch of sadomasochistic love to their 'love story'.

It was as if they would fight against the world together in the next second and would only break up when the mountains are gone and the sky and the earth are united. 

Ning Xiwei scratched her head in confusion: "What is going on? Do your parents want to force you with public opinion?" 

"Impossible." Gu Qi directly denied Ning Xiwei's guess and said: "They will not make things that have not been confirmed known to everyone." 

The reason was very simple. It was embarrassing to let everyone know about things that cannot be done. 

So the driving force behind this wave of operations could only be Jiāng Family. They even stepped on Jiāng Zhiyu to put distance between Jiāng Fengzhi. This meant that they have completely given up on Jiāng Zhiyu. 

Jiāng Zhiyu's father even accepted an interview. 

In the screen, the man was standing at the gate of Hope Primary School in a suit. Behind him were the simple, pure eyes of the children.

Then the press release explained 'in passing' that when President Jiāng was interviewed, he was leading the team to carry out charity projects in Hope Primary School. Jiāng Family had donated countless charity projects over the years. This was just one of the most ordinary ones and was not worth mentioning. 

A kind and honest middle-aged man was in midst of doing charity work when he suddenly got surrounded by reporters. After hearing the news, his face turned black and he immediately said that although he didn't know what the situation was, he would definitely educate his daughter well and give everyone an explanation.

Then these media reprinted the huge amount of charity projects that Jiāng Family had done in recent years. They couldn't understand why such a kind-hearted family would have a daughter like Jiāng Zhiyu.

So far, the entire Jiāng Family had been whitewashed. It seemed that everything Jiāng Zhiyu did was just her own willfulness. She did such a good elder brother and father wrong. She did wrong to the good birth that was envied by countless people.

And Jiāng Zhiyu herself was so furious after seeing these news that she almost went crazy.

No matter how stupid she was, she could see at this time that her father and elder brother were distancing themselves from her.

What was even more ridiculous was that her father actually wanted to marry Gu Qi and her elder brother.

Gu Qi was the culprit of all this.

It was Gu Qi who ruined her reputation and ruined her dream of entering the entertainment industry. Gu Qi was safe and sound and wanted to marry her elder brother?

If it was like this. 

They were a loving family, so what was she?

Jiāng Zhiyu smashed everything that could be smashed in the room.

Because her father was worried that she would hurt herself, he got the servants to move almost everything out of the room.

Now there was only a bed and an empty room.

Jiāng Zhiyu lowered her head.

Her eyes fell on her bandaged leg. Her eyes seemed a little empty until she heard the sound of the door lock turning outside the door. Finally, she had a glimmer of life.

Looking at her mother standing at the door, Jiāng Zhiyu finally couldn't help it and broke down and wailed out.

The gorgeously dressed woman hurried into the room, sat by the bed, and held her daughter in her arms, coaxing: "Xiaoyu, don't cry, tell mom if there is anything the matter. Mom is back. Mom will take care of everything for you."

Jiāng Zhiyu buried her face in Mother's arms, crying until she was out of breath. She wished she could tell all her grievances in one second: "Mom, I was bullied, that Gu Qi dared to scheme on me... and Elder Brother and Dad, they didn't stand on my side."

Following this, Jiāng Zhiyu told Mother all her recent grievances. With Mother's patient comfort, her mood finally improved.

Jiāng Zhiyu's mother's name was Song Xuelian. She was a very beautiful woman.

In fact, she and Jiāng Zhiyu's father weren't a good match. When she was young, she was a famous talented woman. There were countless gentleman in the circle chasing after her. In the end, Jiāng Zhiyu's father won and got the beauty.

Song Xuelian was very capable. After marrying into the Jiāng Family, she quickly used her intelligence and the resources provided by the Jiāng Family to help start a business. This severely slapped the faces of those outsiders who thought she was going to be a rich family vase.

She herself was famous for doting her daughter and never thought that there was anything wrong with Jiāng Zhiyu. When she was young, her family background wasn't as good as others and she was looked down upon by many people. In her opinion, a real rich heiress must have a temper so that she cannot be looked down upon by others.

So over the years, no matter what Jiāng Zhiyu wanted to do, Song Xuelian would provide absolute support.

It was just that she was very busy, always handling the company's affairs abroad, and had no time to accompany her daughter.

In Jiāng Zhiyu's mind, her feelings towards Mother were very complicated.

She resented Mother's absence from her entire life and the number of times she could see her was very few throughout the year, but she had to rely on Mother every time she encountered difficulties.

Because in this family, only Mother seemed to...

Stand by her side unconditionally and give her everything she wanted.

And at this time, she only had Mother left.

Jiāng Zhiyu hugged Mother tightly, "I can't marry Gong Xuanan. I really can't marry him. he doesn't match up to me...he...he!"

Jiāng Zhiyu wanted to say more.

For example, she knew that Gong Xuanan played a lot. Maybe because he played too hard abroad, his body was no longer good and the key tools were almost useless.

According to the models he had ordered, it was so embarrassing as he couldn't even last a minute and they didn't know how to act when they wanted to.

It was precisely because of his own tools that he was extremely dark and inferior from within. He liked to play some torture tricks in bed.

Dirty.

Too dirty.

Jiāng Zhiyu felt like vomiting just thinking about it and even felt sick to say it out loud.

Song Xuelian did not ask her daughter why she was so repulsive to Gong Xuanan, but instead comforted her: "Mom will discuss it with your father and will never let you marry Gong Xuanan."

Song Xuelian rubbed her daughter's head and murmured: "...Anyone can do, except him."

Jiāng Zhiyu did not think about the meaning behind her mother's words, but just thought that she also knew about Gong Xuanan's unbearable dirty deeds. She nodded desperately and finally showed a relieved smile.

Song Xuelian wiped the tears off Jiāng Zhiyu's face and smiled gently: "Xiaoyu, wash your face and apologize to your father and elder brother in the evening. With Mother in this family, you don't have to be afraid of anything."
