It's over, it's over.
Ji Ling and Gu Yangtao sighed simultaneously. This kind of Gu Chenfei was rare to see. They didn't know what would happen to Xia Lian next, but they knew that Xia Lian was doomed.
Poor Xia Lian! Now, Ji Ling and Gu Yangtao couldn't help feeling a bit of sympathy for this suddenly-appearing Xia Lian.
"Miss Gu suspects me? I never thought that outsiders would interfere in our Huo family's affairs. I'm here to find someone to save our young master. It has nothing to do with Miss Gu." Unexpectedly, Xia Lian suddenly became tough.
This remark surprised Ji Ling and Gu Yangtao. It wasn't that Xia Lian's words were particularly threatening. They were just shocked because they had never seen anyone speak to Gu Chenfei in such a tone before. They admired Xia Lian's courage.
A true warrior dares to face the dripping blood and the bleak life directly.
"Yes, I do suspect you. I know you're from the Huo family, but I don't know if you're really on Huo Cheng's side. As for the so - called 'outsider', the young mistress you mentioned is my younger sister. Am I still an outsider now?"
Xia Lian was stunned by Gu Chenfei's words. The older sister of Gu Sisi? Xia Lian clearly remembered that Gu Sisi had nothing to do with the Gu family.
Moreover, did this person have to be so obvious? Suspecting her and saying it so bluntly. Xia Lian was a bit angry. Was this being fearless? It was so disrespectful to her professional ability!
There was another person who was even more confused than Xia Lian, and that was Gu Sisi. She never expected that she had suddenly become Gu Chenfei's younger sister.
"Ah?"
Gu Chenfei glanced at Gu Sisi, and Gu Sisi immediately shut up.
"Woo - woo - woo. I never thought that the young mistress's older sister wouldn't care about the young master's life and death at all. I wonder if the young mistress thinks the same way. If I had known this, I shouldn't have come. I couldn't find anyone to save the young master, and I've been wrongly accused for nothing."
Xia Lian started to show off her acting skills. She was really shameless.
"Young master, you're so pitiful. It's all because the Huo family's treasure was found on the young master that you suffered this disaster. Young master!" Xia Lian wailed while secretly glancing at Gu Sisi.
Sure enough, Gu Sisi caught the key point in Xia Lian's words and immediately grabbed Xia Lian's arm.
"What did you say? What treasure was on the young master? Who are you talking about?" Gu Sisi pressed.
"How could the young mistress forget her own child? It's the young master who's staying in the Huo family. To be honest, I'm actually in charge of taking care of the young master in the Huo family. The young master saved me back then, and I have nothing to repay him with. The only thing I can do is take good care of his son as a way of repaying him."
Xia Lian lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly. Coupled with her already bluffing appearance, she looked like a cute little white rabbit. It was really touching. It seemed that anyone would feel sorry for her.
But Gu Chenfei wasn't an ordinary person.
"How could the Huo family's treasure appear on the baby? You're lying!" Gu Chenfei suddenly became tough.
"I'm not lying. Miss Gu, why do you oppose everything I say? Do you have some other purpose? I'm telling the truth." Xia Lian also stiffened her neck and refused to show weakness.
Seeing that a fierce battle was about to break out, Gu Yangtao, who put self - preservation first, suddenly dragged Gu Chenfei aside and temporarily left the battlefield.
"Phew. What's wrong with that Xia Lian? Sister, you should know if what she said is true or false, right?"
After coming to a deserted place, Gu Yangtao finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked Gu Chenfei without worry.
But Gu Chenfei seemed not to hear this question. She just stared at a certain place, as if lost in thought.
Gu Yangtao followed Gu Chenfei's gaze and found that it was exactly where her hand was holding Gu Chenfei's arm.
Realizing this, Gu Yangtao quickly let go of her hand, looking timid, afraid that Gu Chenfei would do something to her.
Sure enough, Gu Yangtao saw Gu Chenfei raise her hand. Just as it was about to land on Gu Yangtao's head, Gu Yangtao shrank her neck and closed her eyes.
But the expected pain didn't come. Instead, there was a warm touch on her head from Gu Chenfei's palm.
Gu Yangtao was a bit confused. What was this for? Why... did she suddenly start to stroke her head?
"Xiaotao, it's been a long time since you held my arm like this." Gu Chenfei's voice sounded a bit vicissitudinous, which made Gu Yangtao feel uncomfortable.
"Ahem."
Gu Yangtao coughed twice, leaned against the wall, and found a relatively comfortable position. At the same time, she got rid of Gu Chenfei's hand on her head.
Gu Chenfei wasn't stupid. After feeling Gu Yangtao's avoidance, she immediately withdrew her hand, then reached into her pocket and took out a cigarette.
This was the first time Gu Yangtao had watched Gu Chenfei smoke so closely. She stared at Gu Chenfei without blinking, lost in thought.
Gu Chenfei's hand that lit the cigarette trembled a bit, but the way she smoked was really cool. Compared with many men, Gu Chenfei looked much cooler when smoking.
Gu Chenfei suddenly stopped the hand that was lighting the cigarette. She turned to look at Gu Yangtao and was about to put the cigarette away.
"It's okay. You can smoke. I've known for a long time that you smoke, and I'm not sensitive to the smell of cigarettes." Gu Yangtao withdrew her gaze from Gu Chenfei, leaned against the wall, looking very tired.
Click.
It was the sound of Gu Chenfei closing the lighter's lid. She was really obedient. Gu Yangtao smiled.
"This is the first time you've listened to my advice." Gu Yangtao was even a bit excited. She didn't know if it was because of the smell of the cigarette in the air.
However, she didn't get a response from Gu Chenfei. Gu Chenfei just smoked on her own.
Gu Yangtao stared at her, watching her blow out smoke rings, looking at the fingers that held the cigarette, and smelling the smell of the cigarette in the air...
She suddenly had a strong desire to smoke a cigarette.
This thought popped into her head suddenly, which scared Gu Yangtao. What was going on? If she really did that, she would be beaten up by Gu Chenfei.
Gu Yangtao could even imagine Gu Chenfei's reaction with her eyes closed.
...
After an awkward silence, Gu Chenfei's cigarette was almost finished.
Gu Yangtao stared blankly at Gu Chenfei and suddenly wondered what she had pulled Gu Chenfei out for.
The Huo family, Gu Sisi.
Gu Yangtao slapped her forehead and finally remembered. She almost missed something important.
She turned her head and saw Gu Chenfei looking at her like she was a fool. Gu Yangtao touched her head, feeling a bit embarrassed for a moment. But then she thought it didn't matter. She had already lost enough face in front of Gu Chenfei anyway.
