The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 315 If I Can't Be My Brother-in-Law, Then I'll Be My Sister's Husband (4k)

At the entrance of Zhenyuan Restaurant, Gu Heng welcomed guests from all directions.

On his left and right are Qi Min, president of Zhencui Group, and Fan Hong, founder of the brand [Zhenyuan Shanfang].

Both men were dressed in suits and ties, and were responsible for greeting guests of equal status to them, as well as guiding and entertaining the distinguished guests personally received by Gu Heng into the store.

After welcoming the group of big bosses led by Chu Zhengxiong inside, Gu Heng had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Bai sisters walking towards him arm in arm.

Although he only knew Bai Muqing and not Bai Muning, and had never met Bai Muning before, he was able to confirm her identity simply by looking at her beautiful and delicate face.

so similar!
It’s so similar!

Normally, even sisters with the same parents can look quite different. However, the Bai sisters in front of us are eight years apart, yet they look 90% alike, only slightly different from twin sisters.

Bai Muqing alone was beautiful enough to make those around her pale in comparison. Now that she has Bai Muning by her side, the two sisters walking together are so stunning that not only men with normal aesthetic sense, but many women can't help but stare at them.

"Gu Heng, congratulations on your grand opening."

Bai Muqing led her younger sister to Gu Heng, a hint of tenderness flashing in her beautiful eyes behind her silver-rimmed glasses: "I wish you abundant wealth, a thriving new brand, and ever-increasing success in your career."

After saying that, she handed the gift bag she was carrying in her right hand to Gu Heng.

"I don't know what to give you for the opening of a new brand."

Bai Muqing's expression was very sincere: "I see that you usually like to drink tea, so I made you a tea box. You can put some of your favorite teas in it. I hope you like it."

"You made it yourself?"

"Can I take it out and have a look now?"

Gu Heng accepted the gift bag from Bai Muqing, his tone slightly surprised.

"I did make it myself."

Bai Muqing replied softly, "You can look at it now if you want. If you don't like it, I'll take it back and give you a new opening gift in a couple of days."

Gu Heng said nothing upon hearing this.

With Fan Hong's help, Gu Heng took the gift box out of the gift bag.

It was a rectangular wooden gift box covered with colorful paper, each sheet featuring elegant calligraphy in black, gold, and beige ink.

The handwriting displayed on the items is filled with auspicious phrases such as "auspiciousness in all four seasons," "guests flocking in," "wealth rolling in," "good fortune and happiness," "prosperous business," and "smooth sailing and worry-free," making them look very beautiful and elegant.

After opening the gift box, you can see twenty neatly arranged small square tea boxes inside. Each tea box is probably woven from bamboo strips, and then different colored square paper is pasted on it. Finally, it is fixed by plastic sealing.

There are a total of twenty square tea boxes, with four tea boxes forming a group. Each group of tea boxes has a festive word on it. They are neatly arranged together, giving off a fresh and natural Chinese style.

"Did you write all these calligraphy works with a brush?"

Gu Heng looked at the small tea boxes in front of him and then looked at Bai Muqing with some surprise.

"I studied calligraphy for a while when I was a child, and later picked it up again for a while when I joined the calligraphy club in college. I'm only good at regular script."

Bai Muqing answered rather modestly, then a barely perceptible hint of nervousness flashed in her eyes: "Do you like this gift?"

"Very much."

Gu Heng replied earnestly, "I happen to have a tea room upstairs. These tea boxes you gave me are perfect for storing tea leaves. I think they would look very beautiful if I placed them on the tea table."

"As long as you like it."

Bai Muqing breathed a slight sigh of relief when she heard that Gu Heng liked the gift.

"Oh……"

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce you."

“This is my younger sister, Bai Mu Ning, whom I mentioned to you.”

After giving out the gifts, Bai Muqing realized she had forgotten about her younger sister. She immediately pulled Bai Muqing, who was holding her left arm, forward and gave her a brief introduction to Gu Heng.

"Hello, Mu Ning."

"Your sister often talks about you, the future world champion."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, and welcome to Zhenyuan Restaurant."

After Bai Muqing finished introducing Bai Muning, Gu Heng naturally turned his gaze to her and greeted her warmly.

"Brother Gu Heng, it's a pleasure to meet you too."

Ever since Bai Mu Ning came to stand before Gu Heng with her sister, she had been secretly observing him. She had thought Gu Heng was already handsome enough from a distance, but she was surprised to find that he was even more handsome up close.

Those deep, dark eyes; those red lips and white teeth; that sensual Adam's apple; those well-defined, large hands; that flawless, jade-like skin…

In reality, there are too many people who are only good to look at from afar, not up close.

Once you get close, the filter is very easy to break.

But Gu Heng not only resisted the allure of being up close, but was even more captivating than when viewed from afar.

In addition, Gu Heng's blend of youthful and mature charm makes him irresistibly attractive to young girls like Bai Mu Ning.

Bai Mu Ning's eyes sparkled, as if they were twinkling with starlight, while Gu Heng took the opportunity of exchanging pleasantries with Bai Mu Ning to openly sized her up.

Today, Bai Mu Ning wore a beige long coat with neatly arranged buttons, a white knit sweater with a delicate texture underneath, and a brown and black plaid skirt that fell naturally to her calves, giving her a retro yet fashionable look.

The stockings covered her slender calves, and on her feet were a pair of black Martin boots. The tough high boots contrasted sharply with the softness of her upper body, adding a touch of coolness and competence to her look.

Her long, straight black hair cascaded naturally over her shoulders, and her beautiful face was lightly made up. At the same time, a sunny and refreshing smile always graced her face, making people feel happy just by looking at her.

Compared to Bai Mu Ning's youthful energy, her older sister Bai Mu Qing's outfits were basically the same as her younger sister's today, except that their skirts were slightly different. The former's skirt was plaid, while the latter's was a solid color without any patterns.

The two sisters stand together, their faces are 90% similar, but their temperaments are completely different. They look truly pleasing to the eye when they stand together.

"Manager Han, please entertain Teacher Bai and her sister."

Gu Heng exchanged a few words with the Bai sisters. When he saw new vehicles driving in at the street corner, he called Han Tong over from behind.

"Teacher Bai, Sister Yuexin should be coming soon too."

"When she arrives, I'll have someone take her to your private room."

After instructing Han Tong, Gu Heng turned to Bai Muqing and spoke.

"it is good."

Bai Muqing nodded. She knew Gu Heng would be very busy today, so she didn't bother him any further and led Bai Muqing and Han Tong into the store.

"Manager Han, don't bother."

Bai Muqing stopped slowly in the Chinese herbal medicine exhibition area, and then politely said to Han Tong, who was leading the way, "I'll show my sister around here. We can take the elevator up by ourselves later. You can go and help Gu Heng greet and entertain the guests."

"This……"

Han Tong hesitated slightly.

"It's really okay."

"I come here every day now, are you still going to be so polite with me?"

Bai Muqing smiled slightly: "If Gu Heng blames you, just tell me, and I'll explain to him tonight."

"OK then."

"The VIP room that Mr. Gu has reserved for you today is Qingdai. You can take the elevator directly there later. If you need anything, please feel free to call me anytime."

Hearing Bai Muqing's words, Han Tong didn't insist any further. "Okay."

Bai Muqing watched Han Tong leave, then led her younger sister Bai Muning toward the Chinese herbal medicine display area. Compared to when she first came to Zhenyuan Restaurant a few days ago, the variety of Chinese herbal medicines on display here was much richer, and the eyes were filled with fresh and lush greenery.

"elder sister!"

"Gu Heng is so handsome!"

"It's like a domineering CEO from a romance novel has come to life!"

After Han Tong left, Bai Mu Ning saw that no one was around, and she couldn't hold back any longer. She grabbed Bai Mu Qing's arm and started shouting excitedly.

Seeing her younger sister so excited, Bai Muqing's beautiful, aloof face showed a hint of helplessness. However, before she could say anything, she heard Bai Muning say, "If he becomes my brother-in-law, I'll wholeheartedly support it!"

As soon as Bai Muning uttered those words, Bai Muqing's expression froze, and a hint of panic and shyness flashed in her eyes.

"You stupid Ningning, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"I am his teacher, and he is his student!"

Bai Muqing glared at Bai Muning and said in a low voice, "Besides, we are six years apart, the age gap is obvious!"

What happened between the teachers and students?

"Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu were actually teacher and student!"

Bai Mu Ning retorted confidently.

"That's a character from a novel."

"This cannot be used as a reference."

Bai Muqing retorted in kind.

"Then Lu Xun and Shen Congwen weren't fictional characters, were they?"

Bai Mu Ning's momentum remained undiminished: "They were all teacher-student relationships too!"

"you……"

Bai Muqing was somewhat embarrassed and angry: "You little brat, what have you been reading all this time? You don't know what you should know, but you know everything you shouldn't!"

"Then don't worry about it."

"Just tell me, do you have any feelings for Brother Gu Heng?"

Bai Mu Ning stared intently at her sister: "Don't use your so-called teacher-student relationship as a shield. You're just tutoring him; you're not really teacher and student in the true sense."

"No."

Bai Muqing averted her gaze and responded in a low voice.

"Really not?"

"Sister, you're lying."

Bai Muning tilted her head and looked Bai Muqing in the eye again: "If you really have no feelings for Brother Gu Heng at all, why don't you dare to look me in the eye when you say it?"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Bai Muqing pursed her lips, and this time she didn't dodge the question: "No means no."

"hey-hey……"

A sly glint flashed in Bai Mu Ning's eyes: "Since you're really not interested in Brother Gu Heng, then I'll be impolite to you."

"What do you mean?"

Bai Muqing frowned slightly upon hearing her sister's words.

"that is……"

Bai Mu Ning winked at her sister, then said with a grin, "If I can't be my brother-in-law, then I'll be your sister's husband."

Brother-in-law?

Bai Muqing was stunned for a moment, and then her heart skipped a beat for no reason.

"Sister, Brother Gu Heng is really my type."

"She has the looks, the style, the money, and the class."

Bai Mu Ning continued staring into her sister's eyes and said, "It's normal for me to be attracted to a man like that, right?"

"You're only 17. Right now, the most important thing for you is to train hard and study hard. Even if you like Gu Heng, you have to wait until you're an adult and get into university."

Seeing Bai Muning staring at her, Bai Muqing extended a slender white finger and tapped the other's smooth forehead: "Besides, as far as I know, Gu Heng is excellent, but he is not a perfect man. He should have many female confidantes around him. With your temper, can you accept that your boyfriend has multiple sexual needs?"

When Gu Heng was still recovering from his injuries and staying in the hospital's intensive care unit some time ago, Bai Muqing had met Jiang Ruan, Xu Mo, and Luo Xiwen. Therefore, she was roughly aware of the relationship between Gu Heng and those three girls.

At first, she was somewhat shocked to see the three girls getting along so harmoniously, because in her eyes, all three girls were extremely beautiful and would all willingly serve one person.

It wasn't until later, when she learned about Gu Heng's terrifying wealth, and saw his attitude towards each girl, as well as the many excellent qualities and shining points of humanity he possessed, that she gradually began to understand him.

For some men, devotion may be their only virtue, and whether this virtue will disappear with time or with increased wealth remains to be seen.

But for Gu Heng, being amorous was his only flaw.

"Sister, everyone has flaws."

"I think there's a saying that's very true: if you think someone is perfect, then they're definitely being a fool in ways you can't see."

Bai Mu Ning's expression still showed some hesitation as she said this: "As for Brother Gu Heng's need for multiple partners, it depends on whether he is affectionate or promiscuous. If his other women are all girls as good as me, I can accept it. After all, his conditions in all aspects are too good. I am just a girl from an ordinary family. How can I have both? That would be too greedy."

"But if he's promiscuous, then I can't accept it."

"We can't accept anyone who comes along. If he's a dirty man, we should stay away from him."

Bai Muqing shook his head as he watched his younger sister start analyzing the specific conditions: "I'll say it again, your task now is to study hard and train hard. Don't think about those other nonsense things."

"what's wrong?"

"Sister, you don't want me to worry about him, does that mean you still have feelings for Brother Gu Heng?"

Bai Mu Ning still had a cheerful expression, and her tone made it hard to tell if she was being sincere: "As long as you admit it, sister, I definitely won't fight you for it."

"no!"

"I love Gu Heng..."

Bai Muqing was about to say something more when her gaze through the window sharpened slightly, followed by a slightly surprised exclamation: "Ningning, take a look, isn't that girl the female celebrity you've been liking lately?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mu Ning's attention was immediately diverted. She quickly leaned out the window and looked towards the main entrance of Zhen Yuan Shan Fang.

When she saw the girl who had just stepped out of the van, her eyes widened instantly, her mouth gaped open involuntarily, and her expression was filled with shock.

"Oh my God!"

"It really is Oda!"

"How can this be!"

Looking at the bright girl in the distance, Bai Muling felt a sense of unreality, because that girl was none other than Tian Xiwei, a rising star in the entertainment industry, hailed as the sweetest and cutest girl of the new generation...
