Chapter 105: Friendship (Part 2)
Gu Huanli turned her head, staring blankly at the woman who affectionately called her brother "Tianxi". Dalang's long hair was disheveled and scattered on her head, a pair of eyes that had been painted with light smoke looked extremely seductive. Her full breasts were wrapped in a black and white striped cloth, revealing a deep cleavage and a smooth, thought-provoking abdomen. Below the abdomen was a deep green ultra-short skirt, exposing a pair of slender legs wrapped in black silk stockings...
Is it okay to meet brother like this?
Gu Huanli's eyes widened in incredulity, and she pondered for a moment before lowering her head to look at her own chest. Finally, she dejectedly hung her head, drooping her ears, with a downtrodden appearance. Whether it was before or after her rebirth, she had never had anything to be proud of, no "towering waves".
Being a wife is happier than being a younger sister.
At least as a woman, you can see your brother without making an appointment.
Gu Huanli was unaware that some even stranger things had already sprouted tender buds in her heart, and as time passed, they would occasionally ripple to the surface.
In the CEO's office on the eighty-first floor.
"President, the young lady is gone." Jiang Chengying received a call from Ruan Hongyu and immediately reported to Gu Tianxi.
"Is that person bothering Xiaoli again?" Gu Tianxi put down his pen, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
According to Ruan Guan's investigation, the young lady took a taxi alone after class and did not return directly to the mansion. Jiang Chengying pushed his glasses and said expressionlessly, "Is it necessary for the security company to intervene immediately?"
"Order the security company to locate Xiao Li's position through GPS immediately." Gu Tianxi stood up and left the office.
Jiang Chengying called the security company while chasing after her. For someone like Gu Huanli, a wealthy heiress, she was a favorite target for kidnappers. Once kidnapped and extorted, it would be enough for them to live off of for the rest of their lives. He recalled Gu Tianhui mentioning that his older sister had been kidnapped once as a child, but that attempt had failed. That's why the CEO had sent her abroad to study.
But even if the president protects his sister perfectly, he can't keep her at home and completely deprive her of her freedom. Moreover, the older sister is already 16 years old, so the president has to reduce the time when bodyguards secretly follow her, leaving some private space for the older sister.
At this critical moment, the big sister actually went missing.
The president has only one precious little sister. If anything were to happen to her, he would not only be heartbroken but also inflict cruel punishment...
Jiang Chengying didn't dare to imagine, but he knew that he had indeed seen the killing intent in his good friend's eyes at that moment, so he could only closely follow behind Gu Tianxi, hoping that things wouldn't go to an irretrievable step.
The woman who had just stepped out of the elevator saw her beloved man coming towards her and couldn't help but smile with joy.
Gu Tianxi's deep, almost dark brown eyes exuded a cold and frosty aura. He walked past the woman without hesitation and entered the elevator.
"Chairman?"
Tianxi
Jiang Chengying and the woman also chased after him into the elevator.
"Refuse to associate." Sharp eyes hid bloodthirsty, ruthless thin lips curved into an arc close to a smile, Gu Tianxi commanded.
"Yes." Jiang Chengying lowered his head and struck out a name on the itinerary.
"Tianxi, I miss you so much!" The woman, still unaware, smiled sweetly and clung to Gu Tianxi's arm, her two soft breasts constantly pressing against his back.
Gu Tianxi's deep brown eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he grasped her wrist, holding it high.
"Oh no, it hurts so much Tian Xi, I really like you, but... there are other people here"
As the elevator doors opened, he ruthlessly threw her to the ground. "Cheng Ying, immediately withdraw your investment in the Bo Shi Group."
Tian Xi's woman knelt on the ground, shocked and pale.
"Fengyun International only needs the good part of the assets, as for the rest, wait until Bosch goes bankrupt and dump them all." Gu Tianxi smiled coldly, his deep brown eyes filled with ruthless amusement.
"Yes."
The hall suddenly fell silent, so quiet that it sent shivers down one's spine.
Gu Tianxi strode confidently towards the gate with his long legs, a cold aura bursting out of his body, and everyone felt the pressure.
Just as he was about to walk out the door, Gu Tianxi suddenly stopped in his tracks, causing everyone's hearts to clench again. He looked around, his gaze falling on one person after another, and those who met his eyes felt as if a knife was slowly and elegantly piercing their heart.
"Xiao Li." The deep brown pupils gradually turned into transparent amber, and the faint voice was like a gentle breeze that blew away the floating clouds covering the moon. Gu Tianxi slowly walked to the window and gazed at Gu Huanli who was still immersed in her book on the sofa.
"Didn't I tell you, no reading under the sun?" Even though Gu Tianxi's voice was faint like a wisp of smoke, it was filled with an unyielding authority.
"Hmm." Gu Huanlin stared blankly at his brother, taking a long time to come back to himself and remember where he was.
Gu Tianxi lowered his amber-colored eyes to hers, which were still dazed. "Why not go upstairs?" His voice was very soft, just like the phrase he would always say when Gu Huanlin got up to exercise every morning: "Conserve your strength."
The man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, although not glaring at her now, had a tight-lipped expression under his straight nose bridge, revealing his displeasure once again.
Gu Huan Lirui spoke up, saying lightly, "I didn't make an appointment with Brother's secretary in advance."
"Fool. You're the brother's most precious little sister, you can see your brother at any time. Why would you need an appointment?" Gu Tianxi had no idea that his casual words would cause such a huge reaction in others' hearts - like a bomb, stunning everyone and leaving them dazed and confused.
"Heavens!" The receptionist gasped, a chill running down her spine as the icy air pierced her heart.
"I don't have my household registration card with me, nor do I have a DNA test report." Gu Huanli lowered her head dejectedly, speaking slowly and deliberately, as if every word and sentence was being carefully weighed and measured to control the turbulent emotions that were churning inside her like molten lava. "I don't know how to prove that I'm my brother's sister."
With a long arm, Gu Huanli was pulled up from the sofa by Gu Tianxi. He drew her close, his lips curled into a seemingly warm smile, burying complex emotions bit by bit. Word by word, he said, "No need to prove it, you are my only sister."
Gu Huanli's expression was a mix of amusement and sorrow, and she let out a soft sigh. Soon, this turbulent emotion, like a fleeting star on the horizon, was hidden in the vast darkness of the universe. "I just wanted to tell my brother that I'm planning to go to Japan with Luo Yun to see the cherry blossoms, we're leaving on Sunday." After finishing her sentence, she withdrew her hand and slowly walked out, letting the wind blow up her sleeves.
Watching his sister's rare cold demeanor, Gu Tianxi's amber eyes suddenly became even more profound, a kind of extremely sharp profundity. "Cheng Ying, inform the hospital to send a surgeon to wait at the old mansion. The rest is up to you to handle."
"Yes, I will change the ticket to Sunday."
Gu Tianxi walked out of the main hall, he stood beside Gu Huanli and gently stroked her hair and the not-too-happy cheek, then leaned down to whisper a few words in her ear, before gently taking her hand and sending her into the car.
The indifference and coldness in front of others was gone, and at this moment, Gu Tian Xi's expression was unbelievably gentle.
The pure black Bentley drove onto the asphalt road. Just as everyone felt a sigh of relief, a sound like the tolling of a funeral bell in hell echoed through the vast space.
Jiang Chengying narrowed his eagle eyes, his pupils filled with coldness, and the face that seemed to never smile made it impossible for anyone to detect any emotional fluctuations. His entire body exuded an unhidden aura of menace. "You two, escort Miss Wang out. You, follow me to my office. You, notify the HR department, the secretariat, and the general affairs section to report to the conference room immediately. I'm only giving you ten minutes, otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences."
Sunday, another beautiful day with gentle breeze and sunshine.
"Xiao Li, I've already sent Ruan Guanjia ahead to Tokyo to make preparations. She'll be fully in charge of your food, clothing, and accommodations while you're in Japan." Gu Tianxi personally escorted Gu Huanli to the airport. Although he had agreed to his sister's travel plans, the thought of two young girls traveling alone still made him a bit uneasy. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have let that girl named Sang Luoyun stay by his sister's side.
"Thank you brother for all the arrangements made for us."
"I'm only for you." A faint, enigmatic smile played on his lips as Gu Tianxi took a few steps forward and opened his arms to gently envelop her in an embrace. "Complete your undergraduate studies a year ahead of schedule, remember your own promise."
"Yes." Gu Huan's eyelashes, like butterfly wings, quivered slightly. "Thank you, brother, for tolerating my willfulness."
"Be careful with your right hand's injury." Gu Tianxi's tone had a hint of displeasure, as she didn't know how to cherish her own body.
When she heard his words, Gu Huanli's face turned bright red with shame. She looked away and whispered like a mosquito, "I just opened the car door, who knew I would scratch my nails..."
"You, living alone outside for so long, how can you still not take care of yourself? Always making me worry." Habitually rubbing her head, Gu Tianxi smiled with pleasure, like the morning sun on a glacier, instantly illuminating the entire waiting hall.
"Brother" Gu Huanli knew that no matter how she explained it, it would be useless. Her index finger was still wrapped in gauze, and her brother had even ordered someone to buy a Qing dynasty mother-of-pearl inlaid jade and emerald fingernail guard overseas! If she wore something like this out, before others laughed her to death, she would have died of shame herself.
"Again, being coquettish with her brother." The amber-colored pupils shone brightly as Gu Tianxi patted her head, "Although I'm looking forward to spending a wonderful holiday with you, but after attending the opening ceremony in Cannes, we can meet up again in Japan."
"Brother, you have to keep your promise." Thinking that her brother was willing to put aside his work and agree to go on vacation with her, Gu Huanlin was overjoyed.
"Can't bear to leave your brother?" Gu Tianxi's handsome face had a hint of a meaningful smile, his low and gentle voice filled with doting and warmth that was only reserved for Gu Huanlin. "Then let's go to Cannes together first."
"But... Luo Yun..." Gu Huan Lian was taken aback, looking up at him with a gentle voice, like a clear spring. "Brother, what's wrong?" She sensed something unusual about him.
"It's nothing." Gu Tianxi shook his head and slowly let her go, "Your friend has arrived."
"Huanli" Sanluo walked over with her luggage, and when she saw Gu Tianxi, she couldn't help but pause for a moment. "This is...?" Strange, this man looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
"My brother - Gu Tian Xi." Gu Huan Li smiled slightly and let the bodyguard next to her take Luo Yun to handle the boarding procedures, "Brother, this is my good friend - Sang Luo Yun."
"Miss Sang, hello." Gu Tian Xi elegantly nodded at Sang Luo Yun and said slowly, "I often hear my sister mention you. This time you're traveling together, I hope you can take good care of her for me."
"Yes." Luo Yun swallowed her saliva and nodded nervously. Gu Tianxi, the renowned Gu Tianxi, was actually Gu Huanli's older brother. No wonder Gu Huanli always seemed to be in a hurry, no wonder nobody knew where Gu Huanli's family lived, no wonder Gu Huanli had to study so desperately. If she had such a perfect older brother too, it would be strange if she didn't drive herself crazy.
"Xiao Li, I have an important meeting, so I'll take my leave first." Gu Tian Xi's tone was laced with an unyielding command. He leaned down and gently kissed his sister's forehead, "I'll call you every night."
"Yes." Gu Huanli nodded gently and watched as her brother left.
"Good...good scary" Luo Yun patted her chest, took a long sigh, "Gu Huanli, you never told me that your brother is actually Gu Tianxi."
"What's wrong with my brother?" Gu Huan looked at Luo Yun in a daze, "Do you know my brother?"
"Hmm..." Sanluoyun gestured with his hand, and the people whispering in the waiting hall looked at each other. "I guess everyone here knows him. No choice, since your brother is the media's darling, and also Asia's most perfect diamond bachelor."
"I didn't know any of these."
"Huh? Don't you usually read gossip magazines? Let me tell you, the number of times your brother appears on the entertainment front page is almost the same as the number of times he appears on the financial front page."
"What does it mean?"
"Indeed, Gu Huanli, I think you're not only a bookworm, but almost an alien from Mars!" San Luoyun patted her back and whispered in her ear, "Because your brother's every move is more attention-grabbing than the king of pop stars!"
"Are you talking about my brother?" Gu Huan Lian raised an eyebrow, looking at her suspiciously. Although she knew that her brother was quite handsome and the Gu family was a well-known family, it was absolutely impossible for Sang Luo Yun to exaggerate like this.
"Alas, Xue Chang is really pitiful."
How did it turn out to be Old Chang's fault again?
Alas
Luoyun, why did you sigh?
Gu Huan was dazed and confused, even if the plane took off from Taipei, even if it landed in Tokyo again, she still couldn't figure it out.
