The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 228: The Great Filial Piety Spreads Mischief
In the general perception of southerners, the rainy season in June and July is often the season of frequent heavy rains. In the rainy season, the continuous drizzle seems to be blocked by red, black, blue, white and other colored tiles, but the water droplets that seep out of the wall along the cracks are really a headache.

After entering August and September, it seems that the scorching heat is the summer that people remember, but for some reason, this year's Magic City has been experiencing heavy rains from time to time since mid-August.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, it was as if the Queen Mother in heaven was splashing her own bath water intermittently, and so, the father of Queen Gu on earth was buried in this rainstorm.

In front of Gu Yansheng's grave in the cemetery, black umbrellas are blooming like flowers soaked in ink, and at the roots of the flowers are relatives and friends dressed in black.

Gu Li, the new head of the Gu family, stood at the front with her brows lowered. Her Burberry windbreaker was soaked by the rain that drifted in from the side, but she was unaware of it and just silently looked at the pot of white roses on her father's grave.

Behind Gu Li, Jian Xi stood beside Lin Xiao and observed a moment of silence with her.

A week had passed since the birthday party, and he and Lin Xiao forgave his girlfriend again after the incident regarding the royalties the next day.

Well...afterwards, when the dog man learned that it was Tang Wanru who used her underdeveloped brain to deduce that the reason a woman answered the phone at that time was entirely Jian Xi's revenge on Lin Xiao, the dog man was stunned.

Did you really think so at that time?
But because the final result was similar, Jian Xi also admitted it according to this speculation, and he even liked Tang Wanru, a muscular woman with well-developed limbs, more.

Anyway, we have to forgive Lin Xiao, it doesn't matter if it's sooner or later.

Of course, although he forgave Lin Xiao after that day, it did not mean that he really acted as if nothing had happened. As a man who was suspected of being cheated on by his girlfriend several times, he was still observing Lin Xiao.

Moreover, it will be jointly supervised by Lin Xiao’s good girlfriends... At least on the surface, Tang Wanru and Gu Li agreed to this.

Who made Lin Xiao do such excessive things and make him suffer so much injustice in this relationship between him and Lin Xiao?
Even Gu Li knew that cheating once was enough, so Gu Yuan forgave the other party despite enduring unimaginable torment. What about Jian Xi?

I'm sure the pain and suffering he endured was no less than Gu Yuan's, or even worse.

Jian Xi is still too kind!
So the dog man who suffered a great injustice and chose to swallow it brought Lin Quan into his apartment after reconciling with Lin Xiao.

After all, he had promised Lin Quan, how could he go back on his word?

However, what surprised Jian Xi was that Nan Xiang actually did not tell Lin Xiao about what happened that day.

He had already thought of a reason, but unfortunately it was of no use this time.

It is worth mentioning that after he sent the photo of himself and Nan Xiang to Lin Xiao that day and "relayed" Nan Xiang's apology and guilt, Nan Xiang still did not choose to reconcile with her good girlfriends.

However, when faced with the concerned inquiries from her other two best friends besides Gu Li, she no longer chose to turn a blind eye as she did before.

In this regard, they felt that Nan Xiang was still feeling guilty, but unfortunately they didn't know how to persuade her.

After all, Nan Xiang currently only occasionally responds briefly to their messages. What if they bring up the previous matter again and Nan Xiang simply doesn't reply?
So she could only let go of the other person temporarily and leave the problem between her and Gu Li to be resolved with time.

In the cemetery, the heavy rain was still pouring down, with no sign of stopping.

But the continuous heavy rain just matched Gu Li's mood at the moment in front of the grave. After a long moment of silence, the relatives and friends around her gradually dispersed, and she took out the will again.

Although he had read it countless times, as soon as he saw this will, Gu Li wanted to dig his father out of the grave again.

This extremely bloody life story of her biological mother and adoptive mother that appeared out of nowhere, and the 20% of shares that disappeared out of nowhere, it really seems like her brain is not big enough.

Family matters, company matters, and bestie matters all made Gu Li, a second-generation rich woman who was supposed to be able to make great achievements after graduation, feel overwhelmed. Now, the first-generation rich woman is gone, and everything is left to her to make great achievements.

But before making any great plans, Gu Li understood that what was more important right now was how to preserve this family business.

Without the protection of their father, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is for an orphan and a widow to hold on to this piece of fat meat, especially the missing 20% ​​of the shares, which made the already weak Gu family lose a pillar.

The road may not be stable anymore.

Just as Gu Li put away the will and prepared to leave, the good mother, who had been in pain for several days, finally couldn't help but explode again.

"If you hadn't pushed him to come to your birthday party, he wouldn't have driven so recklessly on the elevated road. Now he's lying here, are you happy? Are you proud? You only want to study the will so soon? I really raised you in vain!"

Lin Yilan's expression was both sad and somewhat ferocious. No matter how much she threw a tantrum at the law firm these days, she had no way of finding out who the hell had taken away the 20% of the shares!

They even blamed the deceased Gu Yansheng.

After following him for more than 20 years, not only did she get only a small inheritance in the end, she also found out that he was having an affair outside without her knowing, and she was raising a child with that vixen!

Gu Yansheng was so cruel that his nonchalant demeanor jumped out of the paper when he explained these things in his will. He didn't consider the feelings of his first wife at all!

"Yes, Mom, it wasn't easy for you to raise me." Gu Li stopped, her eyes unchanged, and spoke in her usual choking tone.

And Lin Yilan became even angrier.

"Mom? Who is your mom? The vixen who gave birth to you is your mom!"

"I don't need you to remind me. It's written in the will."

Gu Li spoke lightly, constantly stimulating the mother's pain points.

Jian Xi, who was watching this scene silently with Lin Xiao from behind, found it quite interesting.

If he remembered correctly, Gu Li's father, Gu Yansheng, was also a playboy. In addition to Gu Li, the daughter of the Gu family, Gu Li also had a younger brother with the same father and mother.

However, the existence of this younger brother is still unknown to the people in front of him.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Yilan was indeed pitiful. She was unable to give birth to a child for Gu Yansheng. I don’t know if there was something wrong with her body.

It’s no wonder that Gu Yansheng would find a woman outside to bear his baby. After all, such a huge family fortune needs a child to inherit it, right?

Lin Yilan is just a pity. Since she can't have children, she really treats Gu Li as an orphan adopted by Gu Yansheng. Because she can't have children, she has really raised Gu Li as her own daughter over the years.

She never thought that Gu Yansheng had kept this secret from her for more than twenty years.

The most poisonous thing is the heart of the rich!
At this moment, she heard her daughter's words and was even more furious, saying, "I really regret raising you to this age. This is retribution. Your father is lying down there with his body still warm, and you are already seeing how much money you can get! Your heart has been eaten by a dog!"

"My dad was cremated, there are only ashes but no bones!"

After Queen Gu said this, she turned around and left, and the mourning in front of the tomb ended there.

The people behind her looked at each other and followed her away. However, Jian Xi turned around at this time to look at Gu Yuan who had not caught up with her in the distance, and seemed to be thinking about something.

If I'm not mistaken, Gu Li's good boyfriend should be thinking about how to help his girlfriend get through the crisis at this moment.

For this, he could even betray his own mother.

Jian Xi was speechless when he thought about how Gu Li and Gu Yuan, the Gu family couple in the original drama, used such a ridiculous method to raise the valuation of Shenggu. They really just treated it as a game.

However, he did know where the 20% of the inheritance that Gu Li wanted to know so desperately was...

"what happened?"

At this moment, Lin Xiao beside him suddenly spoke up and looked at her boyfriend in confusion.

Jian Xi came back to his senses, shook his head and said with a smile: "Nothing, the rain is getting heavier, let's go quickly."

"Yeah." Lin Xiao nodded without asking any more questions, and left with her boyfriend who had been lost and found again.

During this period of time, she has learned her lesson and is determined to repair her relationship with Jian Xi.

She was clearly a pure and innocent girl, so why did her boyfriend always doubt her? She originally thought that her boyfriend was being unreasonable, but it turned out that her best friends also felt a little sympathetic towards Jian Xi.

Sympathy... Lin Xiao couldn't help but twitch her lips when she thought of this word. She didn't know what there was to sympathize with.

Moreover, her best friends said on the surface that there was nothing wrong with them and that it was Jian Xi who always misunderstood them. However, from their occasional sarcasm and ridicule towards her, it could be seen that they also believed that she seemed to have really betrayed Jian Xi.

This is the most heart-wrenching thing for Lin Xiao!
I don’t look hot at all!

In Sisters of Time, Gu Li slept with Nan Xiang's boyfriend, Tang Wanru had her breasts seen by Wei Hai but was rejected by him, Nan Xiang was beaten all over by Xi Cheng and even had a miscarriage, but it is obvious that Lin Xiao is still a decent girl!

If it weren't for the fact that his brain was still online, Lin Xiao would have almost brought up all these things and scolded them.

Fortunately, Jian Xi "forgave" himself again, otherwise his long youth would have ended like this.

"Nan Xiang still hasn't come."

At this time, Tang Wanru suddenly said this.

Several good girlfriends didn’t know what to say at the same time.

Lin Xiao glanced at her boyfriend and asked, "Jian Xi, when you met Nan Xiang that day, did she really not say anything else?"

"No." The dog man shook his head. Even what he told them about Nan Xiang's guilt was made up by himself.

I thought Nan Xiang might turn her head and try to break the ice with them, but in the end the ice was not broken.

After thinking for a while, Jian Xi continued to spread rumors: "She said she would express her grief. Anyway, she felt very regretful at the time and said that she shouldn't have treated Gu Li like that. Afterwards, she remembered how good Gu Li had been to her in the past, providing her with food and clothing."

"..."

When these words were spoken, not only Lin Xiao and Tang Wanru felt strange, but even Gu Li in front of them stopped.

"Did she really say that?" Gu Li turned around and asked, "Why didn't you tell us this before?"

Because I forgot to spread these rumors before... The dog man's expression did not change. He sighed in a fake manner, and then replied: "I felt that some of the words were not appropriate before, so I didn't say them directly."

"What's inappropriate? Just say it!"

Hearing this, Jian Xi, who was filled with hatred and resentment, said before spreading rumors: "Well, I said it, maybe I didn't express it clearly, but I remember the general meaning very clearly."

After a pause, he spoke under Gu Li's inquiring gaze: "Maybe it was because a night had passed, Nan Xiang also had a lot to say, and she was in a very low mood. In addition to what she just said, she said that she also thought about how good Gu Li had been to her over the years. Even the clothes she was wearing now were bought by Gu Li. She even said that she seemed to be an ungrateful person. She did these things at her best sister's birthday party for a man who didn't want her. She was too ashamed to see Gu Li."

"..."

The rumors that the bastard started to spread suddenly silenced the women.

Did you ever doubt that this was a lie? Yes, but this thought only flashed through my mind. After all, Jian Xi's character is obvious to all. He is gentle and kind. That's him!
Does this dog man think there is something wrong with him spreading this rumor?
No problem!

She did not try to sow discord between them, nor did she say bad things. Instead, she said good things that were beneficial to promoting their sisterly relationship.

Shouldn't Nan Xiang thank me?
Seeing that they were silent, Jian Xi added, "Originally, Nan Xiang didn't want me to say these words. After all, she said that her feelings for Gu Li were complicated. But when I saw you like this, I couldn't bear it."

"Complex?" Lin Xiao asked doubtfully, "What complicated feelings does Nan Xiang have for Gu Li?"

For a moment, Gu Li also looked at Jian Xi closely, and was also very curious about the complicated feelings Nan Xiang had for her.

"This..." The dog man looked at Gu Li in a fake manner, then hesitated and said, "I'd better not say it. After all, Nan Xiang doesn't want Gu Li to know these words."

"..."

Jian Xi's way of saying half of what she said was indeed quite provocative. Gu Li took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said coldly, "Forget it. If she has anything to say, she can tell me face to face."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Li turned around and walked towards his stretched Lincoln.

Lin Xiao touched her boyfriend and whispered, "What on earth are you talking about?"

Jian Xi shook his head mysteriously: "I can't really say, anyway, Gu Li doesn't care about these things, so don't ask."

……

Ever since this incident happened at home, Gu Li has been somewhat reluctant to return to her hometown, especially because of the will. She is always worried that she will lose control and smash her father's study.

So during this period of time, in addition to making arrangements for his father's future, Gu Li also began looking for a place to live after graduation.

However, she has not found one yet. Just like what was said in the original drama, finding a satisfactory apartment in the center of Shanghai is as difficult as finding a good man to marry. And finding a satisfactory apartment in the central JA area of ​​the city center is as difficult as finding a good man to marry who will not cheat or come out after marriage.

Obviously, Queen Gu, who is worth hundreds of millions, has not found such a man yet, so for now they can only return to the dormitory and continue living there.

However, after Gu Li's father was buried today, Gu Li and the others understood that the final countdown had begun before they left the place where they had lived for four years.

Jian Xi followed them back to school, under the pretext of seeing them off, but as soon as he got off the car, he turned around to pick up Xiao Lucha after class.

Watching her boyfriend walk away with an umbrella, Lin Xiao inexplicably thought of what Tang Wanru had said before, that part of the reason why Jian Xi was angry might be because she had never slept with him before...

But does Jian Xi really care about this kind of thing?

Didn’t Jian Xi have any such thoughts about me?

If I bring it up myself, will I seem like a female hooligan?

Just when Lin Xiao was dizzy and full of random thoughts, Tang Wanru exchanged glances with Gu Li, then quietly came to Lin Xiao and spoke softly:
"What do you want to do with Jian Xi?"

"Go to bed."

"Fuck, you actually thought about this!"

Tang Wanru immediately said exaggeratedly, which brought Lin Xiao back to his senses.

She saw Tang Wanru and Gu Li looking at her strangely and with contempt, and immediately blushed and defended herself: "No, I was wrong, I was just talking nonsense, I didn't think of that!"

However, these two best friends didn't believe it at all. Tang Wanru shook her head and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, Lin Xiao, I didn't expect you to be so obsessed with love. You've been suppressing it by Jian Xi's side for so many years, and you finally can't hold it back, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who is thinking about love?"

Lin Xiao's anger hit the nail on the head in their eyes, including Gu Li, so she coughed and said, "Lin Xiao, do you think it's appropriate for you to think about those things here on the day my father is buried?"

"Gu Li, don't talk nonsense, I didn't think about it!"

"Didn't you?" Gu Li's signature sneer reappeared. After glancing up and down, he said, "The aura of you seeking love cannot be covered up even by such a heavy rain. You are just like a female monkey in heat in the zoo."

"..."

Gu Li's usual sharp tongue silenced Lin Xiaogan. She was so angry that she didn't want to pay any more attention to the two of them. She turned around and went upstairs to the dormitory building.

But at this time, Gu Li caught up again, and seeing Lin Xiao's angry face, she took the initiative to soften her tone and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. Anyway, you can handle your own affairs with Jian Xi, but I want to ask you to do something."

"I?"

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then he said hesitantly: "Are you sure you are right? Do you have something to ask of me?"

She knew that whenever Gu Li asked this group of girlfriends for help with something, it proved that the matter was definitely quite troublesome.

It is impossible to lose money. After all, if it can be done by spending money, Gu Li can do it by herself. She does not need these girlfriends who are poor compared to her. However, the mental torture should not be underestimated.

Seeing Lin Xiao's look, Gu Li curled her lips and said, "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to put Tang Wanru's original underwear on the flea market as a gift to senior students, nor am I asking you to dig my father's urn out of the grave and scatter it into the Huangpu River."

"Hate!"

Tang Wanru, who was always in a state of lust and narcissism, made an expression that would make any boy passing by feel like vomiting when she heard this.

Lin Xiao and Gu Li ignored her and continued to ask, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple. Just ask Jian Xi what else Nan Xiang said!"

"Ah?" Lin Xiao's expression changed, and he asked in confusion, "Don't you think you don't care?"

"I care about it again now, is that not okay?" Gu Li rolled his eyes at her. Doesn't she know that what a woman says can change at any time?

However, Lin Xiao hesitated: "This...Jian Xi didn't want to talk about this just now. He might not tell me even if I asked him."

"Lin Xiao, are you out of your mind?"

Gu Li scolded her best friend with a tone of disappointment, then looked at her with a look of mental disability and said, "Who is more important to Jian Xi, you or Nan Xiang? Would he hide it from you for Nan Xiang? He was just being polite just now. If you just acted coquettishly to Jian Xi, how could he not tell her?"

"This……"

Lin Xiao, who was indeed not in a good mind, hesitated for a moment, looked at her best friend's expression as if she wanted to eat her, and then nodded: "Then I'll try."

"It's not just a try, it's a must-ask!"

Gu Li's tone was very firm. After she finished speaking, she quickly changed her expression and said with a smile: "If you ask the truth, I will book a luxurious river view suite at the Bulgari Hotel so that you can practice what you wanted to do with Jian Xi just now."

"..."

The topic went around and around and came back to the starting point, and Lin Xiao couldn't hold it anymore.

……

"Senior, go take a shower, you're so wet."

As soon as Jian Xi brought Lin Quan back home, he urged him to take a shower. He was also very wet at the cemetery.

Jian Xi smiled and agreed. To be honest, it does feel different to have a woman at home.

These days since he came into this world, although he still often misses the women from his previous life, things have come to this point and he has no other choice.

Just like the classic saying, life is like rape. If you can't resist, then enjoy it. Although this saying is rough and the logic is a bit rough, it is rough, and this is also his current state.

'I wonder if I'll have a chance to see them again?'

Jian Xi shook his head and got rid of this unrealistic idea. Just as he walked into the bathroom, the phone in his pocket rang with a message.

When he saw that it was Lin Xiao who was asking him what else Nan Xiang said, the dog man started laughing. As he expected, Gu Li could not help but instigate Lin Xiao to ask.

If Nan Xiang knew what was going on, would she kowtow to herself?
On the other side, Lin Xiao, who had returned to the dormitory, cleared his throat and was racking his brains to think about how he should act coquettishly so that Jian Xi would tell him if she didn't agree.

Do I really have to threaten him like Gu Li said and tell him that I am not as important as Nan Xiang?

This won’t work. What if Jian Xi gets angry again?

She didn't want to go to the River View Suite, she just wanted to accomplish what Gu Li asked her to do... Well, that's it!
"Ding dong~"

Just when Lin Xiao was about to search the Internet for how to act coquettishly, Jian Xi replied.

"Lin Xiao, don't tell Gu Li. Nan Xiang said at the time that she was actually envious and jealous of Gu Li in her heart. She felt that Gu Li was giving her alms."
