The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 333 Snow Tonight

The night deepened, the wind and snow grew stronger, Jian Xi watched his good brother drive away in a hurry, knowing that he was going to look for Gu Li. Although he had just had a big fight with his girlfriend, it did not affect his determination to slide to his knees at the speed of light.

From this point of view, there are still big differences between Gu Yuan and Lao Meng.

Looking at the time, just when Jian Xi was thinking about whether to smoke another cigarette, he glanced and saw Lin Quan coming out of the villa's gate, but...

"What are you looking at? Don't you recognize me?"

Little Green Tea opened the passenger door and sat in, and spoke in a bad tone to the dazed man.

Jian Xi's mouth twitched, and he didn't answer the other party. He just turned his gaze to Lin Xiao... and Nan Xiang who were still standing outside the car with an umbrella.

Lin Xiao saw the little green tea girl sitting directly on the passenger seat. His lips moved slightly, but he still didn't say anything. However, when he saw that dog man staring at him blankly, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, then opened the back door and sat in.

Nan Xiang kept her head down. When she saw that she was the only one left, she hesitated for a moment and walked around to Jian Xi's side, then asked in a low voice, "Boss, can I get in?"

"you……"

"Why are you pretending? Did you ask the same question when you climbed onto Jane Creek's bed?!"

Jian Xi had just said one word when Lin Xiao behind him spoke angrily.

Nan Xiang clenched her fists slightly, but her eyes were still fixed on Jian Xi.

The snowflakes that were not blocked by the umbrella floated in and landed on her shoulders. She held the umbrella with her eyes lowered, and her posture was indeed somewhat pitiful.

Jian Xi coughed lightly, thinking that the other party had really asked him the same question. However, the man ignored Lin Xiao at this time, and just nodded to Nan Xiang and said, "Come up quickly, it's so cold outside."

"Humph!"

Lin Xiao's cold snort was completely blocked by Nan Xiang at this moment. After hearing Jian Xi's words, she felt relieved and hurriedly opened the back seat and sat down.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao frowned even more tightly and deliberately turned her body to the other side, as if to express her refusal to be in the same space with her best friend.

When they came to attend the birthday party tonight, the two of them sat in Gu Li's car, arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder, shouting and laughing all the way, truly demonstrating the deep friendship between best friends.

As a result, when it was time to leave just a few hours later, the situation had become like this.

Lin Quan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw this scene from the rearview mirror. She pursed her lips and didn't say anything. Instead, she pretended not to know and said to Jian Xi in dissatisfaction: "Senior, did you smoke in the car just now? You haven't finished it for so long, you must have smoked a lot!"

"Well, Gu Li came back after you left just now. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, I smoked a few cigarettes while comforting her." Jian Xi didn't rush to start the car. He leaned back in his seat and looked into the rearview mirror, and his eyes met those of the two girls in the back seat who were also looking in the mirror.

"Oh, Gu Yuan also chatted with me when he came out just now. She was not much better than Gu Li, so she smoked a little with him."

After a pause, the bad man pretended to be clueless and asked the two women in the rearview mirror: "By the way, what happened just now? Why do Gu Li and Gu Yuan look so unhappy?"

"..."

Lin Xiao, who was originally full of anger and wanted to settle the score with this bastard, immediately lowered his head guiltily after hearing this and dared not look at him in the rearview mirror anymore. Nan Xiang also looked away and looked out the window without saying a word.

Lin Quan glanced at the bastard and she immediately knew what he was planning.

But she didn't expose him. Instead, she cooperated with Jian Xi and turned around to look at Lin Xiao in the back seat and asked, "Oh, right, didn't you guys go to comfort Gu Li just now? Why did she leave in a huff without waiting for you? When I went to see you just now, you didn't say anything. What happened?"

"..."

Lin Xiao lowered his head, twisted his fingers together, and didn't know what to say.

So Lin Quan turned his gaze to Nan Xiang: "Senior Nan Xiang, what happened?"

"Uh...this..." Nan Xiang looked at Lin Quan, then looked at Jian Xi in the rearview mirror, then glanced at Lin Xiao beside her out of the corner of her eye, and finally lowered her head and said nothing.

"I just heard Gu Yuan say that Gu Li and him had a big fight, but why do I feel like there's more to it than that?" Jian Xi began to talk nonsense with a natural look, "Gu Li was very sad when she left. Although she dealt with it in the car, I could still see that she cried. This is really strange. Is it because her job at ME was replaced by Gu Yuan? I've known Gu Li for so many years, and the last time I saw her so upset was..."

At this point, the dog man looked at Nan Xiang in the rearview mirror again, then hesitated and said, "It was on her birthday last year."

"..."

Lin Xiao and Nan Xiang were already feeling uncomfortable because of Gu Li's angry scolding just now. When they heard Jian Xi mention it, they felt even more uncomfortable.

In the end, Lin Xiao spoke with a sad face.

"Gu Li...Gu Li knows that I knew in advance that she would be replaced."

Although it sounded a bit like a tongue twister, this was the clearest way Lin Xiao could express the reason for the quarrel between her and Gu Li just now.

Moreover, she had already told Jian Xi about this when they were dancing, and it was just that what she worried about came true.

Then the dog man asked in a surprised tone: "Is it true? She knew? No wonder, is she like this because of you?"

Lin Xiao opened her mouth when she heard this, wanting to say that it was not just her fault, but also the fault of the bitch beside her. However, she hesitated for a moment, turned her head and looked out the window and said, "No!"

After a pause, she added: "Not exactly!"

"What do you mean?"

"Ask her!"

Lin Xiao's tone faded, and the "she" was obviously referring to Nan Xiang next to him.

So Jian Xi and Lin Quan, the spectator-eating duo, all turned their eyes to Nan Xiang.

But Nan Xiang, who had been keeping her head down and keeping silent, suddenly began to tremble with her shoulders, accompanied by soft sobs.

Seeing this, Lin Quan quickly took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to her, comforting her: "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Lin Xiao also turned his head to look at her at this time. He didn't expect that Nan Xiang, who had just quarreled and fought with him but didn't cry, would cry at this moment. She looked a little unnatural for a moment.

Crying? Childish. I had fought with Lin Quan, a green tea girl, and not a single drop of pearls fell!

However, Jian Xi frowned subconsciously, looking at Nan Xiang who took the tissue to wipe her tears, and felt that this fight seemed a little different from the one in the original drama.

Nan Xiang is not betraying Gu Li's plan for tonight to Gu Li like in the original drama, so logically speaking, she should not have any rival scenes with Gu Li.

Why does it seem like something is wrong now?

Nan Xiang, who was originally just sobbing quietly, could no longer hold back her voice and tears after taking the tissue from Lin Quan. Soon the tissue in her hand became soaked, so Lin Quan directly handed her the whole pack of tissues.

"What happened? Did Gu Li quarrel with you more than just about the fact that she was replaced tonight?" Jian Xi asked. Nan Xiang, who was crying so hard that she was out of breath, could no longer speak. After she finished using the small packet of tissues, she wiped her tears with the fur on her body without waiting for Lin Quan to get new ones. Finally, she buried her face in the soft fur.

The whistling wind outside the car had stopped at some point, leaving only the extremely slight sound of falling snowflakes. No one in the car spoke, only the sound of Nan Xiang crying could be heard.

After a long time, Nan Xiang, who still had her face covered, began to sob softly again, and then her words could be heard intermittently.

"Gu Li...Gu Li she...she knew...she knew that it was me...I made Xi Cheng sleep with her...sleep with her."

Even though she had known about this before, when she heard it again, Lin Xiao still felt a little uncomfortable breathing at this moment. Just now, seeing Nan Xiang crying so miserably, she couldn't bear to be angry with her anymore, but now, the disgust towards Nan Xiang surged up from the bottom of her heart again.

So she opened the car window next to her, and when the cold air blew in, she took a deep breath and used the chill she felt physically to suppress the chill in her heart.

Compared to the fact that her best friend cheated on her, Lin Xiao was even more angry about what Nan Xiang did to Gu Li.

Although I felt sorry for Gu Li, I hid it from her because I was not sure it would happen when I heard Gong Ming and Ye Chuanping talking about it. Gong Ming also said that he would not agree with what Ye Chuanping said. And... Gu Li already had everything. She didn't need a job that made her unhappy...

But no matter what, I would never do such a despicable thing to Gu Li.

Well... I made Gu Li lose only a job, but Nan Xiang made Gu Li lose her innocence!

This is what Lin Xiao is thinking at the moment. When it comes to the damage done, they have to determine the degree of damage. Who made her so sweet?
"I...I was...at that time...I really just said those words in anger...in anger. I didn't mean to hurt Gu Li...I didn't mean to hurt Gu Li..."

Nan Xiang sobbed as she spoke, and later she couldn't hold back her tears.

When Jian Xi and Lin Quan heard this, both of them were shocked. Lin Quan didn't expect that this mistress, no, mistress, actually had such a thing with Gu Li, and Jian Xi was shocked because he didn't expect that Gu Li actually knew about it.

No wonder Gu Li was the first one to run out, this was indeed a huge blow.

But how did Gu Li know?
Jian Xi frowned. Logically, only he, Nan Xiang and Xi Cheng knew about this matter. He had used this matter to control Nan Xiang for a long time. Could it be that Xi Cheng came up and told him about it again?

I originally thought that apart from Gu Li and Gu Yuan quarreling over positions, and Gu Li and Lin Xiao quarreling over concealing the matter of position replacement, at most Lin Xiao and Nan Xiang would quarrel over the affair with me. I didn't expect there would be such an additional thing.

Jian Xi's eyes were filled with thoughts. Seeing that Nan Xiang couldn't recover for a while, he said to Lin Xiao in a deep voice, "Lin Xiao, what happened?"

Hearing Jian Xi's question, Lin Xiao turned his head and looked into his eyes. After a few seconds of silence, Lin Xiao spoke softly, "Gu Yuan knew that I knew in advance that Gu Li would be replaced. He told Gu Li, and I also told her that Tang Wanru betrayed Gu Li and Xi Cheng's bed to Yuan Yi. After that, Tang Wanru told her about Nan Xiang's incident, and..."

At this point, Lin Xiao's wandering eyes met Jian Xi's again, and then he stared into the other's eyes and continued: "Tang Wanru told me about you and Nan Xiang."

"..."

Jian Xi automatically ignored what she said next. Lin Quan snorted coldly, but the bastard continued to pretend he didn't hear anything.

Now it was clear. He didn't expect that Tang Wanru also knew about this. When he and Nan Xiang were kissing on the street near Sinan Mansion, he did see Tang Wanru. He thought that she only discovered the affair between him and Nan Xiang. It was estimated that Tang Wanru had been hiding there for a while at that time and happened to hear Xi Cheng talk about this.

Tsk, fate is really strange.

"What's with that look on your face? Shouldn't you say something?"

At this time, Lin Quan snorted coldly and saw that the dog man didn't speak, so he asked again.

Jian Xi glanced at her and said, "I was just thinking, no wonder Gu Li was like that just now, except for her brother Gu Zhun, everyone stabbed her."

After the words fell, Lin Xiao in the back seat had a strange expression on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "That Gu Zhun...he, he seems to be gay. Gu Li also knew about it just now."

"..."

Jian Xi and Lin Quan were both silent. After a long while, the dog man sighed and said, "What a sin!"

Little Green Tea didn't know what expression she should make. She wanted to laugh, but it felt a little inappropriate. She wanted to sympathize with Gu Li, and she also wanted to laugh.

So she straightened her expression and looked at Jian Xi and said, "What else? Don't you have anything else to say?"

"Anything else?" The dog man blinked, pretending not to know. "Anything else? Oh, by the way, what time is it now?"

"It's almost ten o'clock. What's wrong? Nothing else to talk about?"

"Anything else?" Jian Xi thought for a moment and said meaningfully, "We can talk about other things when we get back. It's almost ten o'clock now, and the gift I sent to Gong Ming should be arriving soon."

"Gift?" Except for Nan Xiang, Lin Quan and Lin Quan all looked at Jian Xi with doubt, "You want to give Gong Ming a gift?"

"Yeah, it's a birthday, so a birthday cake and other gifts should be given. He didn't collect any money for the banquet tonight, so I can't come here for nothing."

Jian Xi smiled, turned his head to look at the villa in the neighboring manor which was still brightly lit, and finally started the car and left.

"By the way, where are you staying tonight..."

In the heavy snow tonight, the car moved farther and farther away from the Gong family villa, as if leaving behind all the extremely noisy things that happened not long ago. Only the overwhelming snow remained, slowly burying the Gong family villa.

……

On the fourth floor of the villa, Gong Ming, who had just finished his birthday party, sat on the balcony covered with a blanket, watching the snow falling in the middle of the night. The snowflakes fluttered and landed on the small round table in front of him, as well as on his blanket, suit, and hair.

"Mr. Gong."

Kitty's voice came to his ears. Gong Ming heard it with a tired face, but did not respond.

He has always been like this, and he doesn't have to respond to anyone's call except his father.

But the next second, a white, double-layer cream cake was placed on the small round table.

Gong Ming likes sweets. The bitterest thing he has ever eaten since he was a child is the coffee with a lot of sugar that he drinks at work now, so the birthday cake in front of him has a lot of cream added to it.

Gong Ming stared at the cake in front of him without saying a word, then looked at Kitty beside him.

Didn’t we already eat the cake at the birthday party?
"Mr. Gong, the cake was just delivered by the cake shop staff." Kitty said with her head down as she stood beside him, and then she took off the scarf that was draped over her forearm.

"And this scarf was also sent by that employee. He said it was sent to him by the person who ordered the cake, but he said the customer was anonymous."

Gong Ming looked at the gray-green scarf. After two and a half seconds, his pupils suddenly dilated and his facial expression changed drastically.

He grabbed the towel and his breathing quickened.

"This was woven by... Zhou Chongguang."

He knew that his younger brother had this skill and he recognized his brother's skill. How could he disappear for so long and show up on his birthday?
