Walking down the stairs, she first saw Gu Wangchuan's back, then her eyes fell on the man standing opposite him, and her steps immediately stopped.
This person... I just met in the garden?!
Gu Xicen raised her eyes slightly and looked towards the stairwell. When she saw Lin Yuer, she raised the corners of her lips...
Lin Yue'er hissed and took a breath of air.
He heard it!
He must have heard her calling Gu Wangchuan a bastard just now!
So what are you thinking about now? Are you complaining to him?
Lin Yuer could even imagine the way Gu Wangchuan punished her. She instinctively protected her neck with both hands. Thinking of the pain there, her feet rooted to the spot, ready to turn around and run away.
The smile on Gu Xicen's lips deepened, and her light brown eyes narrowed slightly.
"Madam, why don't you come down?" Aunt Hua walked out of the kitchen with a plate of fish and said with a smile, "Come over for dinner!"
Hearing Aunt Hua's voice, Gu Wangchuan turned around and couldn't help frowning when he saw Lin Yuer, "What are you doing there? The Gu family doesn't need a dull security guard!"
Although he didn't have anything nice to say when he opened his mouth, especially to her, Lin Yuer's eyes lit up and there was no sign of going berserk, which proved that he didn't know that he had scolded him!
Her heart sank a little, she lowered her head and said "Oh", avoiding their eyes, and walked into the restaurant.
"Is she...sister-in-law?" Gu Xicen looked away and asked softly with a slight smile.
Although hearing his brother call this woman "sister-in-law" would make Gu Wangchuan feel uncomfortable, he still responded dully, "Well, she is the woman that my grandfather forced her to give to me." He picked up the girl in his hand.
cup and took a sip of red wine.
I don't know whether it was because of his grandfather's coercion at that time, or whether he regretted his impulse at that time. In short, when he mentioned this woman, he felt super unhappy!
"Haha," Gu Xicen shook his head and laughed, looking sideways at his eldest brother, who had been strong since childhood, "If you fight with grandpa, you must be prepared to lose."
"Exactly," Gu Wangchuan raised his eyebrows disdainfully, "It's not a fight, I'm just following him." He waved his hand in annoyance, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, come and eat."
"Um."
The two walked into the restaurant. Lin Yuer was helping to set the dishes and chopsticks. Aunt Hua smiled and said, "Young lady, we can do all this. Oh, by the way, look at my memory, I haven't introduced you to the second young master yet!"
Second Young Master...
Lin Yuer vaguely remembered that Aunt Hua said in the morning that the second son of the Gu family would come back from France. So, he is...
Looking up, his gaze suddenly hit Gu Xicen's pale eyes. There was a faint mystery in his eyes, like a bottomless green spring, or like an endless expanse of white snow.
Lin Yuer was stunned for a moment and forgot to react.
He is a very elegant and handsome man. He is not as shocked as Gu Wangchuan's strength and dominance, but it makes people want to focus their eyes for a few more seconds. Perhaps it is because of the vague aura of indifference on his body, the wind is light and the clouds are indifferent.
He looked like he didn't care about anything... The more he looked like this, the more he wanted to find out something from him.
He stood opposite Lin Yuer and smiled softly at her, "Sister-in-law, I am Gu Xicen."
Lin Yuer blinked her eyes, and her brain finally received the message.
It turned out that the man who appeared in the garden was actually the second young master of the Gu family, Gu Wangchuan's younger brother, and her nominal uncle.
