The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 341 The calm before the storm
February 13th, Sinan Mansion.

After the New Year, only the Gu siblings live in the huge garden house. Compared with the liveliness two months ago, it is extremely lonely, just like the withered green plants in the back garden of the house.

Gu Li was increasingly like a queen living in the deep palace. Apart from her lover Gu Yuan who came over from time to time, the only people who stayed by her side were Eunuch Gu, uh, her younger brother Gu Zhun.

"Sister, you have to go to work tomorrow, don't you want to get ready?"

In the afternoon, Gu Li lay on a lounge chair in the back garden to bask in the sun, covered with an Hermès cashmere blanket. On the small table beside her lay a half-finished bottle of champagne and wine glasses, as well as the latest issue of "Menstrual Period" which she never missed.

Hearing his brother's voice coming from behind, Gu Li lazily lifted his eyelids, raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight, and said weakly: "What are you preparing for? It's not my first day at work. Besides, I don't need to prepare anything for my first day at work."

Gu Zhun pulled out a chair next to the small table, sat down next to her and said, "Didn't you say that Sheng Gu's affairs are likely to be exposed this year? You should prepare early."

"Prepare? What's the point?" Gu Li said calmly, "Gong Ming is not unaware of this matter. What else can I prepare?"

"So you're just going to wait here to die?"

"Yes, waiting to die." Gu Li said softly, but he thought of another thing in his mind.

Gu Zhun frowned. His sister was in such a bad state. She was full of energy and acted like a queen during the New Year, but she became like this as soon as she came back here.

But he soon understood the reason, and after a little hesitation he asked, "Nan Xiang and Tang Wanru... haven't contacted you yet?"

Gu Li remained silent and lifted the blanket to cover his face.

"Didn't they talk to you during the New Year?"

"..."

"Do you wish to reconcile with them?"

"..."

"Their stuff is still here, do you want to throw it away?"

"..."

"sister……"

"Oh, you're so annoying. If you have nothing to do, why don't you just find a class to attend?"

Gu Li pulled the blanket away and turned to his brother angrily.

Gu Zhun quickly waved his hand to indicate that he was no longer bothered by her.

But when his elder sister turned around, he couldn't help but speak again: "But sister, I don't think you need to worry too much..."

"You still said that!"

"I won't talk about them." Gu Zhun poured her some champagne, and then continued, "I'm talking about Sheng Gu's matter. Gong Ming told you about this matter, it should just be a warning, and ME itself has problems. If ME is implicated because of Sheng Gu's matter, wouldn't it be a huge loss for the Gong family?"

"Hehe." Gu Li propped himself up on the recliner, picked up the wine glass beside him and took a sip, "Yeah, now I'm in the same boat with the Gong family."

As soon as he said this, Gu Li felt a little sad. He and Gu Yuan were once grasshoppers on the same rope, and now he and the Gong family are also grasshoppers on the same rope. No matter how he goes about it, he is still a grasshopper, and always the kind of grasshopper that is about to fall off a cliff.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and said, "When I went to visit my father's grave a few days ago, I really should have poured a basin of paint on his tombstone."

Hearing this, Gu Zhun wanted to laugh. He could still clearly remember the scene where his elder sister dropped the little pearl while holding the tombstone.

So he comforted her: "So sister, don't worry too much."

"Am I worried?" Gu Li glanced at his brother, "I'm enjoying the sun here, what do I have to worry about?"

"If you're not worried you should go sunbathe on a Hawaiian beach instead of here."

Gu Li was so angry at his younger brother's sabotage that he threw the blanket at him and said unhappily, "If you have nothing to say, just go play somewhere else!"

"Oh."

Gu Zhun sighed, and was about to leave when he saw his elder sister like this. However, when he saw his elder sister sitting on the recliner and frowning in a daze again, he couldn't help but say, "Sister, I have something... I want to tell you."

Gu Li seemed to have not heard anything, her eyes were empty and her mind was wandering. It was not until Gu Zhun repeated what she said that she said weakly, "What is it?"

"That... I... I saw a... a..." Gu Zhun suddenly began to stutter, and Gu Lizhun turned his head and stared into his eyes.

"You have AIDS?"

"..." Gu Zhun, who was trying to gather his courage, almost fell backwards and said angrily, "Sister, what are you talking about!"

"Then why do you stutter like this?" Gu Li rolled her eyes at him, then said earnestly, "I'm not a pedantic person, and I'm not really against you... I like men, but I just hope you can be careful. You're my only brother."

After a pause, she added: "You don't have to sneak out in the future..."

"Sister! You, you know I..." Gu Zhun's face was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that his sister knew that he had gone out with a man some time ago.

"I'm not a fool, I can guess it." Gu Li sighed in his heart, and suddenly felt sorry for his dead father in the underground world.

Gu Zhun lowered his head, feeling a little ashamed and regretful. He regretted that he had been hiding that thing, so he calmed down and said in one breath this time: "Sister, what I just wanted to say is that I saw someone who looked very similar to Zhou Chongguang!"

"What?" Gu Li frowned subconsciously and asked back.

Gu Zhun said, "No, that's not right. I shouldn't say 'similar'. I think that Lu Shao is Zhou Chongguang. Although he disguised himself very well, my intuition tells me that he is Zhou Chongguang!"

"..."

Gu Li was stunned and speechless for a moment. She believed that what her brother said was true, and they had already reached a consensus that Zhou Chongguang was not dead. Now it was just confirmed.

"Where did you see it?"

"It was the bar I went to before..." Gu Zhun's eyes were slightly evasive, but he still added, "It was a gay bar, he worked as a waiter there."

……

"Master Jian, you're leaving right now. Did you forget something?"

At the door of Jian Xi's house, Jian's mother looked at her older son who was sitting in the car and preparing to start the car and said.

"What's the matter?" Jian Xi raised his eyebrows, with some confusion in his eyes.

Mother Jian's face darkened slightly, and she said in a bad tone, "I gave out two big red envelopes this year, but I haven't seen anyone yet."

"..."

Haodaer couldn't help laughing, and after a light cough, he replied, "Our family doesn't lack this little money, so why would you care about two red envelopes?"

"Do I need to?!" Mother Jian's voice suddenly rose. "I need these two red envelopes? I'm asking where you are. I've prepared the chopsticks and bowls, and now the Spring Festival is over and you haven't brought anyone here!"

"Who do you want me to bring?"

"You ask me? You have two girlfriends, so why should I care who you bring?" Jane's mother was furious. "I've been talking to you for so long and you still don't get an answer. I want to see who you will bring!"

Jian Xi thought about it after hearing this, and suddenly asked, "How many sets of bowls and chopsticks did you prepare?"

"Two pairs."

"Hey, you were forcing me to choose someone, but you prepared two more sets of bowls and chopsticks!" The eldest son chuckled, "You actually want both, right? You greedy mother-in-law." "..."

Mother Jian was speechless for a moment. After her mouth twitched a few times, she slapped the hood of the car: "Are you itching for trouble? If you hadn't found two, would I have prepared one?"

Mother Jian became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She glared at her older son in the car and said angrily, "People only give big red envelopes to girls when they come to visit for the first time. And they give them when they come to visit. Just because you, a bastard, found two girls, I was too embarrassed to ask them if they would come. I just gave out tens of thousands of dollars this year. When I was playing cards, people asked my son why he brought a wife back, and I was too embarrassed to say anything!"

The eldest son dodged to the side because of his mother's yelling. He sat up straight only after she finished speaking.

At this time, Old Man Jian in the house was also startled by the noise, but he didn't dare to get too close, so he stood not far away and watched over here.

Jian Xi scratched his ears, then smiled indifferently and said, "Are you really too embarrassed to say it?"

“Should I have a face?”

"Shouldn't your face be swelled?"

"..."

The momentum that Mother Jian had managed to muster was almost broken, but she still managed to hold it in and said, "Should I be proud to tell others that I have two daughters-in-law?"

"You don't have to be proud, just say it with a smile."

"..."

The shamelessness of her eldest son once again shocked Jane's mother, but for some reason she couldn't get angry right away.

So taking this opportunity, the engine of Jian Xi's car started up. Mother Jian frowned, stepped back a little and said, "But you haven't brought any back yet?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Jian Xi backed the car out and leaned against the window, saying, "The person can't run away. Doesn't this give you two elders some time to accept it?"

"I was not in a hurry at first, but now that you've caused this situation, I can't help but be anxious."

Hearing what his mother said, Jian Xi smiled and said, "What's wrong with the situation? I think the situation is very good. You are so anxious after I talked to two people. If I add a little more, you will be really angry."

"I'm getting angry right now... Wait a minute!" Jane's mother keenly caught something, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "What do you mean by adding a little more?"

Then her eyes suddenly widened, and she said in disbelief: "You don't have a third one, do you?"

"Don't think too much. How could that be?" Jian Xi immediately said righteously, "I was just making a casual analogy. Don't be too sensitive."

"I can't be insensitive." Jane's mother's voice turned cold. "If you just have the bad habit of being a boss and messing around outside, I wouldn't bother to care about you. Now two girls have come to me. If there are more, how can your father and I live?"

At this point, Jane's mother asked suspiciously, "You didn't get someone pregnant outside, did you?"

Jian Xi felt that he couldn't stay any longer. If he continued, he would lose his good reputation at home.

"Don't guess blindly. I know what's going on. You can't even say something like, 'I'm pregnant.'"

"That's quite a pity."

"..."

"I won't worry about your big belly. If anyone has a big belly, I'll just prepare your wedding for you."

Hearing this from her own mother, Jian Xi quickly said, "Don't tell them this!"

"Okay, I know this."

Mother Jian responded with a big son's words, and then asked: "Since you are not pregnant, you really didn't find another one?"

Unfortunately, there was one more.

Jian Xi thought to himself, but smiled and said, "Why do you always worry about this? Don't say I really don't have it. Even if I do, so what? With your son's ability, one is the foundation, two is not much, three is just a smile, four..."

The man didn't say the rest of the words. Before his mother's face turned gloomy and she could explode, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

At this time, Father Jian, who had been watching for a long time, came forward and comforted him, "Okay, now that everyone has left, don't just stand there and watch."

"Did you hear what that bastard said? One or two aren't enough, he wants several!" Jane's mother's anger instantly poured out on Jane's father, "I don't know who he learned this from?!"

"..."

Father Jian was a little speechless. He didn't expect that he would run into the muzzle of the gun. Seeing the other party looking at him, he said helplessly: "Why are you looking at me? You didn't learn it from me."

"Even if I'm not telling you to behave yourself, be honest!" Jane's mother said coldly with some anger still lingering.

Having suffered an unexpected disaster, Old Man Jian really regretted coming here. Seeing the other party take out his cell phone and start tapping away, he couldn't help but frown.

"Everyone has left, but you are still driving. What message are you sending?"

"Who sent a message to that bastard?" Mother Jane rolled her eyes at him, then suddenly said with a smile, "I was sending messages to those two daughters-in-law."

"..."

"When we were video chatting a few days ago, they were getting better and better looking. They were pretty and sweet. What that bastard said just now was quite right. It was really embarrassing."

……

"A Quan, the retest is next month, you really don't want to review at home?"

At an intersection not far from Lin Quan's home, Lin Quan listened to his mother's words on the phone, but his eyes kept drifting towards the end of the street.

"No, I've reviewed well before and passed the first test easily. I'll just review with Jian Xi as usual."

Mother Lin felt sour after hearing her daughter's words. She couldn't help but say, "When you grow up and have a man, you forget about your home."

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Lin Quan blushed. "I just left home not long ago, how could I have forgotten?"

"Then why don't you let me take you there? Isn't it because you don't want me to meet that Jian Xi?"

Lin Quan felt a little embarrassed by his mother's words, but he still replied: "No, it's not like you haven't seen Jian Xi before. Didn't you come to my house when you came to pick me up a few days ago? I'm afraid you'll ask me questions again later."

"I'm not trying to embarrass him." Lin's mother spoke calmly on the phone, "Your uncle has met the other man's father before, so what's wrong with me asking a few more questions? They say a son-in-law is half a son, so what's the harm in me knowing more? My daughter lives with him..."

Lin Quan touched her forehead helplessly. This was one of the reasons why she didn't want her biological mother to send her off. Her biological mother didn't speak in a hurry, and could even be said to be slow and leisurely. But the problem was that once she started talking, she would never stop, and she didn't know how long it would take.

Just when she was feeling more and more excited, she saw the familiar car appearing at the corner of the street, and immediately said cheerfully:
"Mom, let's not talk about it for now. Jian Xi is here. I have to get in the car!"

"Don't worry, I'm going to visit your place later. Remember to let him set aside some time."

"Hmm? Yeah! Okay, bye, Mom." Lin Quan waved at Jian Xi and vaguely responded to the mother on the phone. Then he hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.

After Jian Xi stopped the car in front of her, she got in happily.

"Why are you so excited about calling?" Seeing the little green tea girl get into the car, Jian Xi smiled and kissed her and asked.

"Not excited, my mother just called me!" Lin Quan straightened his clothes and said while fastening his seat belt.

"What did Auntie say?"

"She said... uh, she forgot."
