The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 329 Add some ingredients to the porridge and add some fire

In the living room of the Gong family villa, the situation that had just calmed down heated up again with Lin Xiao's words.

Tang Wanru, who was trying to stop the fight, suddenly widened her eyes. Gu Li and Gu Yuan, who were being persuaded, also froze in their expressions. What Lin Xiao said really contained too much information.

Several people, including Gu Zhun, who was not present at the time but had more or less heard about the incident, thought back to Gu Yuan's engagement ceremony in December last year.

At that engagement ceremony, Gu Li should have been the star, like a female knight charging into a dragon's lair to snatch the prince who was forced into marriage, but it ended up with a lose-lose situation for all three parties.

Strictly speaking, it was Gu Li who was ultimately hurt in the wedding robbery incident. She only exposed the photos of Yuan Yi and her ex-boyfriend taking a walk while on love. However, Yuan Yi exposed the photos of her and Xi Cheng in bed. Regardless of whether the photos were real or not, at least everyone believed that they were real, and these were photos of her and Xi Cheng in bed during her relationship with Gu Yuan.

Her reputation is ruined in the whole Demon City. If she wants to get married in the future, no one will allow such a daughter-in-law into the family under normal circumstances... Well, from this point of view, it is normal for Ye Chuanping to always oppose Gu Li entering the Ye family, but who made her have an abnormal son?

After that incident, what Gu Li couldn't understand the most was how Yuan Yi got those photos?
There is no doubt that the scumbag Xi Cheng must have contributed to this. Gu Li wanted to question Xi Cheng, but after leaving the engagement ceremony that day, she went to see her best friend Nan Xiang and reconciled with Nan Xiang. Even though she wanted to eat Xi Cheng alive, she decided to give up for the sake of her best friend.

Moreover, she was indeed tired, and was afraid that if she got involved with that scumbag Xi Cheng again, she would be dragged into endless trouble.

But there is still a question here, that is, how did Yuan Yi know that she had slept with Xi Cheng?
Even if Xi Cheng wants to provide photos to Yuan Yi, they have to establish contact between them first!

Many things are not a big deal if you don't think about them too much, but if you look into them carefully now, you will inevitably find something wrong.

Although the matter between Gu Li and Xi Cheng was not an absolute secret, the people who knew about it happened to be her good friends, besties, and boyfriend. Normally speaking, if they cared about Gu Li, they would not make such a thing known to others.

This matter was truly exposed at Gu Li's birthday party last year. Apart from the people who were present at the time, the only person who knew about it was Xi Cheng who was not present. In other words, besides Xi Cheng, someone betrayed her to Yuan Yi at that birthday party.

Although Gu Li decided to let go of what happened at the engagement ceremony, sometimes a question would echo in her mind -

Who around me betrayed me?

She suspected many people, Jian Xi? Wei Hai? Maybe even Lin Xiao or Nan Xiang who hadn't gotten along with each other before the engagement ceremony?
Apart from her boyfriend Gu Yuan, she had never doubted Tang Wanru, who had always been around and only knew how to smile and eat. But at this moment...

"why?"

In the heavy and depressing atmosphere, Gu Li spoke softly, as if asking Tang Wanru, or as if muttering to himself.

"Tang Wanru, what Lin Xiao said... is it true?"

Gu Li spoke again, but no one could answer her question.

Everyone's eyes were now focused on Tang Wanru, who was lowering her head with a panicked look on her face. They were like ice knives of judgment, piercing her and making her feel cold and painful.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Tang Wanru lowered her head and repeated these three words. She, who had always had a weak psychological endurance, burst into tears at this moment. "I didn't mean to do it. I didn't know that person was sent by Yuan Yi."

"I'm sorry Gu Li, I'm sorry..."

Tang Wanru almost retracted her head into her neck which was not long to begin with. She didn't expect that her Judas behavior would be exposed at this moment. She was stunned and could only repeat "I'm sorry" to Gu Li.

Lin Xiao felt very happy when she said this, but when she looked at Tang Wanru's expression, she began to regret it.

This was a bit too cruel to Wanru and Gu Li.

At this moment, among all the people present, from Gu Yuan, Gu Zhun, to Lin Xiao and Tang Wanru, each of them had something hidden from Gu Li that was exposed, and most of them hurt Gu Li.

Well...looking at it this way, the younger brother is worthy of being the younger brother. His going to the gay bar is the most harmless thing to Gu Li. As long as he doesn't have AIDS, the most that will happen is that Gu Li will not be ashamed to talk about the younger brother when he goes to burn incense for his father in the future.

I guess we have to wonder if there really was something wrong with the Gu family’s ancestral tomb, otherwise why is it that none of the Gu family’s descendants live a smooth life?

Gu Yansheng lost his life in a car accident, Gu Li lost both his virginity and face, and Gu Zhun... I don't know if he lost his roots or his intestines.

In short, because everyone's bad deeds were exposed, a situation that was depressing but cleverly balanced was formed for a while. The result was that everyone was silent, and the atmosphere fell into a strange stalemate.

As for Gu Yuan, although the wound on his face caused by Gu Zhun was still aching, after hearing what Lin Xiao had revealed about the engagement ceremony, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Gu Li again.

"Gu Li, you..."

"Shut up! I don't want to talk to you!" Gu Li, who looked a little dazed, suddenly yelled at Gu Yuan emotionally, "Are you happy now?! Everyone has secrets from me, but I just have this bad temper, what's wrong?!"

The silent atmosphere was like a storm that had been stirred up again, and all of a sudden it became tense again. Gu Yuan, who had wanted to comfort his girlfriend out of kindness, was scolded by her and immediately got angry and said:

"Fuck! Why the hell are you yelling at me? The one who kept the secret from you was your good sister, and the one who betrayed you was also your good sister. If you have the guts, yell at them!"

Lin Xiao, who was called upon again, immediately joined in with dissatisfaction.

"Gu Yuan, what do you mean? Wasn't it because of you that everything happened tonight? Aren't you the only one who didn't hide it from Gu Li?"

"Lin Xiao, you are so stupid. You just hid the matter from Gu Li and now you are rushing to help her. You keep saying that you have a deep sisterly love, but wasn't it you who exposed Tang Wanru's matter? I say again, I have no knowledge of what happened tonight!"

"You don't know what happened tonight." At this moment, Tang Wanru, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly spoke up, "But isn't your so-called proposal just to get the Shenggu shares in Gu Li's hands?"

"..."

Gu Yuan, who wanted to show his passion, was suddenly silenced by Tang Wanru's words. He turned his head away and was quiet for two seconds before he said angrily, "Tang Wanru, stop talking nonsense here. I proposed to you because I love Gu Li. What does it have to do with Shenggu Holdings?"

To be honest, although Gu Li still felt very resentful when she heard this, she also felt a little warm.

Until Tang Wanru looked up at Gu Yuan and continued, "Who knows? When you celebrated your birthday at Gu Li's house this year, didn't you tell your mother on the phone that the prerequisite for marrying Gu Li was to get the Shenggu shares in her hands?"

Gu Li’s expression…didn’t change, because her expression had never looked good from the beginning. At this moment, she just coldly shifted her gaze to Gu Yuan again.

"You've been pretending to propose to me here tonight, but in the end you're still eyeing my sister's shares." Gu Zhun, who had been silent since he was exposed as a gay, has now regained some of his fighting power. After hearing what Tang Wanru said, he immediately used his taunting skill on Gu Yuan.

"Fuck! You haven't been beaten enough yet, have you?"

"I'm afraid of you!"

Gu Zhun, whose face was also covered with bruises, immediately stiffened his neck and wanted to fight with Gu Yuan again, but this time there was no strong man like Tang Wanru to stop them. Seeing that the two were about to wrestle with each other again, Gu Li immediately rushed between the two.

"Beat me! Beat me enough first before you continue!"

It's true that although Gu Li's method of using her body as a sandbag to stop the fight was dangerous, it did work. Seeing that she was blocking the fight in the middle, Gu Yuan and Gu Zhun had no choice but to stop.

However, seeing the coldness in Gu Li's eyes, Gu Yuan still said angrily: "Don't listen to Tang Wanru's nonsense. That's what my mother said. I didn't intend to agree. Didn't my mother say the same thing when Shenggu acquired it? Did I agree to her?"

"In the beginning, it was to trick Gong Ming. What about now? Do you have any other reasons?"

Hearing what Gu Li said, Gu Yuan was so angry that he laughed.

"So you just don't believe me, right? You don't believe that I didn't know about it tonight, and you don't believe that I want to marry you because I love you? You just believe these sisters who betrayed you? And your brother! In your heart, I am a complete outsider!"

The living room tonight is like a powder keg. Anyone can ignite it at any time and it will explode. Even if the fuse is cut off occasionally, it is only a slight delay. It will continue to explode until everyone is blown to pieces.

Hearing Gu Yuan's roar, Gu Li rarely did not curse back directly, but turned her head away and stopped looking at him.

"Okay, Gu Yuan, you've scolded enough."

At this moment, Nan Xiang, who had not participated in the dispute, spoke up to mediate.

Everyone present had joined the group tonight, but from the beginning everyone had worked together to help Gu Li to encircle Gu Yuan, but in the middle of the argument everyone got a little too angry and that led to a somewhat chaotic situation.

At this point, the few people who were able to try to stop the fight at the beginning have either lost their face or the courage to continue.

But it didn't matter. At this moment, Gu Li's only good friend who stood out from the situation was fine, so she could still mediate normally.

So Nan Xiang, who had been supporting Gu Li, stepped forward to ease the situation and said, "No one wants to think about what happened tonight, can't we just talk peacefully?"

"Stop pretending to be good sisters here. One is Lin Xiao, the other is Tang Wanru. They both say they love each other like sisters, but when it comes to stabbing each other, they are more shameless than the other!"

Hearing that the furious Gu Yuan was pointing the finger at Nan Xiang again, Lin Xiao, who had calmed down, stood up again to speak for her best friend.

"Gu Yuan, please keep your mouth shut. Nan Xiang doesn't seem to have offended you, right?"

"She didn't offend me." Gu Yuan sneered and said to Lin Xiao, "But why are you defending her so much? You treat her as a sister, but she treats you as a love rival?"

He originally wanted to explain to Gu Li tonight, but as soon as he arrived, he was besieged by his girlfriend and punched several times by Gu Zhun. He was so angry that he just scolded whoever he caught.

Lin Xiao's face changed, but before she could say anything, Nan Xiang reacted like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Gu Yuan, stop spitting blood."

"I'm slandering you? I'm also a shareholder of Hongye Media and your boss. Why did you stay in Jian Xi's office for so long when I went to the company to look for him?"

Well... to be honest, if Gu Yuan hadn't brought this up now, Nan Xiang would have really forgotten that the other party was also her boss. Jian Xi had mentioned this to her before, but she didn't take it to heart at all at that time. Anyway, Jian Xi was her only boss.

Hearing Gu Yuan's words at this moment, Nan Xiang subconsciously glanced at Lin Xiao, and then hurriedly explained: "Don't talk nonsense, Jian Xi often holds private meetings with everyone in the company like this, it's not just me, don't sow discord!"

I don’t know if others listened to Nan Xiang’s explanation, but Lin Xiao… didn’t want to listen but forced himself to listen.

It took her a long time to stop being stressed about Nan Xiang. She even went to Jianxi's company to see her. She finally managed to look at Nan Xiang with a normal attitude towards her best friend. How could she let all her efforts go to waste just because of Gu Yuan's words?

But just like she suddenly spoke when she exposed Tang Wanru just now, Tang Wanru also suddenly said:

"Then what you did before, hugging and kissing Jian Xi on the street next to Sinan Mansion, do other people in the company do it often?"

"..."

In fact, it is not quite appropriate to compare the current situation to a powder keg, because it is more like a bunch of firecrackers connected in series by a bunch of powder kegs. Whether it is from the head or the tail, or even from somewhere in the middle, it can be ignited and then the whole string of firecrackers can be lit.

It’s just that because the firecrackers in this string of firecrackers are made up of barrels of gunpowder, even if a single firecracker explodes, the noise will be very shocking.

For example, Tang Wanru's sudden words at this moment were like lighting a firecracker, which instantly shocked everyone.

If what Gu Yuan said just now about Nan Xiang and Jian Xi doing some office-limited plots that were not suitable for children in the company's office was just his groundless association when he was angry, then Tang Wanru's words at this moment were a direct accusation.

Everyone looked at Nan Xiang, who had a panicked expression, and then tacitly looked at Lin Xiao, who looked ugly.

In this situation, everyone thought of the scene of Gu Li’s birthday party last year.

I wonder if Lin Xiao will also wash Nan Xiang’s hair with red wine?
"Nanxiang, what Tang Wanru said... is it true?"

The thing that she had been most worried about finally happened. Lin Xiao stared at her best friend and squeezed out these words from between her teeth. The sentence structure was exactly the same as what Gu Li had said to Tang Wanru just now.

"Lin Xiao, I'm sorry..."
