Chapter 109: Atmosphere (Below)

  San Luo Yun originally thought that Gu Huan Li suddenly becoming mischievous was quite amusing, but she didn't expect Qiao Yin Hao to say something like that, and her face involuntarily sank. "Mr. Qiao, our taste is indeed low, very sorry." After saying that, she pulled Gu Huan Li and left.

  Gu Huanli made a gesture to the servant, then followed Sang Luoyun's back and left with a swagger, not worrying that Qiao Yinhao would catch up with them.

  When Qiao Yinxu rushed out of the restaurant after settling the bill, Sang Luoyun and Gu Huanli were nowhere to be seen. "Damn it, they must have gone back to the hotel," Qiao Yinxu stomped his feet and drove off in pursuit.

  Who would have thought that Gu Huanli walked out from the side of the grilled sea bream stall, lifting the curtain and smiling at Sang Luoyun behind her, "I told you, the grilled sea bream here is much better than that expensive restaurant just now."

  "But..." San Luo Yun thought about the prices on the menu, and couldn't help but look worriedly at Qiao Yin Hao, who had already disappeared into the river of cars.

  "How could the rich young master of the entertainment industry not even take out this little money?" Gu Huanli patted San Luoyun's shoulder and comforted, "What you need now is calmness, emotionalization can't solve the problem at all, and he is the same."

  "I didn't expect him to put down his work and come find me." San Luo Yun bit her lip, letting out a low sigh. "Sometimes the distance between people exceeds the distance between hearts, and all of this isn't something that can be solved with love alone."

  "Hmph." Gu Huanli couldn't help but giggle, wrapping her arm around Sang Luoyun's, and chuckled, "You're going to make the philosophy department come to the business school to fight for you if you keep being so melancholic."

  "Where is it?" San Luo Yun thought of Qiao Yin Hao, and her heart suddenly hurt, as if an iron wire was strangling her heart, constantly twisting, constantly twisting. "I'm really starting to envy you now, not understanding love, so living a carefree life."

  Gu Huanli nodded, proudly saying, "Because I'm a obedient good kid. Brother said that before university graduation, I'm not allowed to have an early romance, so naturally there are no annoying things to disturb me. So, having a good brother is more important than anything else."

  "You—" San Luo Yun looked at Gu Huan Li's smug expression, with his tail almost raised to the sky, and couldn't help but say, "I also have a big brother! Xiao Ge treats me even better than he does his own sister!" After speaking, her chin also rose up.

  After a moment, both of them burst out laughing.

  "San Luo wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and said to Gu Huanli, 'I'll head back home today, there's still time anyway. You and Big Brother Gu can play for another two days. It's not easy to get a holiday after all.'"

  "Uh-huh." Gu Huanli didn't stay with Sang Luoyun, she knew that her good friend wasn't a weak-willed person, and the future could only be forged by herself, no one else could replace her.

  So when Jo Yoon-oh rushed into the hotel where Sang-lo lived, Gu Huan-li had already sent Sang-lo to the airport by car. Only after Sang-lo boarded the plane did he leave with a smile.

  Qiao Yin Hao stood in front of Gu Huan Li again after many twists and turns, his hair disheveled with rage. "Where did you hide Luo Yun? Return her to me at once!"

  Gu Huanli was not affected by his cold voice, as if he had just crawled out of hell. She slowly drank the red tea in her cup and said calmly, "Luoyun has returned to China due to work, didn't you know?"

  She paused for a moment and continued, "Of course, another possibility is that you have never paid attention to her life and work at all."

  "What kind of job can she do, those servant jobs I've already let her quit." Qiao Yinbo's lips curled up with a hint of sarcastic smile, his high and mighty attitude was like that of a god bestowing favors on the masses.

  "This is something I'm not qualified or obligated to answer." Gu Huanli smiled elegantly, but a hint of disgust and disappointment flashed in her eyes. The issue between Qiao Yinhao and Sang Luoyun was not just about so-called family background or birth, but the gap between their hearts, which was an insurmountable existence that separated them by thousands of mountains and rivers.

  Perhaps every couple has their own problems, outsiders may be able to see through the confusion, but they don't have the right to choose. So she can take Sangluo Yun on a journey chasing cherry blossoms, but she can't let her out of the shadows of love and emotions.

  "You have such self-awareness, why do you need to intervene in the matter between me and Luo Yun?" Qiao Yin Hao's attitude did not soften because of Gu Huan Li's answer, but instead stirred up even greater anger in his heart.

  "May I ask..." Gu Huanli paused for a moment, her voice was soft, but her tone carried a hint of sarcasm. "Does Luo Yun and I traveling together require reporting to you? I thought that as long as we got the approval of the two elderly members of the Sang family, it would be enough. Besides, during the New Year's, which one of you used my name to bring Luo Yun to Europe and brought her endless trouble?"

  Qiao Yinyin was taken aback, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "I gave Sang Luoyun a life she could only aspire to, and I haven't even begun to despise her for losing face for me. What right does she have to think that my kindness has brought her endless trouble?"

  Gu Huanli didn't say a word, she just quietly looked at Qiao Yinfu, just like looking at Luo Yichen who was also condescending to her years ago, cold and indifferent. She didn't think she needed to make an expression or respond, she simply lowered her head, wrote a check, handed it to Ruan Hongyu beside her, and then left.

  "Stop right there."

  Qiao Yinhao rushed over, wanting to grab Gu Huanli and continue arguing, but was stopped by Ruan Hongyu. She put the check in Qiao Yinhao's hand and said calmly, "Mr. Qiao, this is for our young lady and Miss Sang's lunch today, please accept it."

  "What's the meaning of this little money?" Qiao Yinhao tore up the thin check without any concern, and sneered, "I, Qiao Yinhao, will care about this little money? If you really have money, then pay back the money for those things I sent to Sang Luoyun. You think this little meal money can get rid of me? You also look down on me, a noble son in the entertainment circle."

  Ruan Hongyu looked at him with disdain. In the past, she had admired and liked Qiao Yinan, but she never thought that the real Qiao Yinan would be such a disgusting man. "Mr. Qiao, if you have any financial disputes with Miss Sang, you can go back to your country and sue her in court to return all the gifts. I think the media reporters will be eager to report on this matter."

  "You think those media reporters can threaten me?" Cho Yoon-ho laughed loudly, he turned around and stepped on the paper scraps of the check and walked away with big strides. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and said viciously, "Sang Luo Yun won't leave me unless I throw her away like trash." After saying that, he slammed the door shut.

  Gu Huanli came out from the inner room, stroking her palm and smiling lightly, "Hongyu sister, have we recorded all the arrogant words of this entertainment circle's noble son?"

  Ruan Hongyu took out the DV from the flower pot, looked at it and smiled, "Miss, I'll copy Mr. Qiao's behavior and send it to various reporters."

  "No need to rush," Gu Huan Lian raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and then smiled as she opened her eyes, "I don't want Luo Yun to think that my help is charity, and this video is evidence in my opinion, but not the best means. Alright, you arrange it for me, I'm going out."

  "Miss?" Ruan Hongyu was startled. Gu Tianxi was now in Kyoto, and before he left, he had instructed that Gu Huanli was not allowed to run around everywhere.

  "There's no way." Gu Huanli sighed softly, took out her phone and dialed a number for Gu Tianxi, said a few words in a low voice, then handed the phone to Ruan Hongyu.

  "Miss?" Ruan Hongyu hesitated to take over the phone, looked at the screen with the words "brother", and hurriedly composed herself seriously, saying, "Young master. Yes, yes, okay, I understand. Please rest assured, I will definitely send Miss safely." After finishing speaking, she handed the phone back to Gu Huanli, then retreated to prepare for the trip.

  "Brother." Gu Huanli held up her phone and called out softly, "Thank you for agreeing to my capricious behavior."

  "If you know it's arbitrary, then don't do it."

  "Sorry." Gu Huanli lowered her head, biting her lip in apology, but now she had no other choice. Besides, that matter had been hanging in her heart for so many years and should be resolved.

  "I've been thinking, have I been spoiling you too much lately?"

  "Sorry." Gu Huanli thought of her brother's displeased amber eyes, and she shrank back to the bedside, curled up in the quilt, and said softly, "Brother, I'll be back in three days at most, please don't worry."

  "You're such a careless and clumsy fool, you can't even take care of yourself. You got your fingernails pinched in the taxi, do you think I'd feel at ease with you saying something like that?"

  Gu Tian Xi's voice was somewhat low and melancholic, Gu Huan Li could even imagine him coldly curling up the corners of his lips, so she bitterly smiled and said, "What to do, I've already been spoiled by my brother into a foolish girl who can't do anything."

  "Yes, even a foolish woman who can't make coffee, who would dare marry her in the future."

  Her eyes reddened for a moment, but she smiled and said, "I'll spend the rest of my life by brother's side, I won't marry anyone."

  "Yes, yes, yes, when you grow up, you'll be my brother's bride." Gu Tianxi twirled the pen in her hand, recalling her sister's solemn expression when she was drunk, and couldn't help but shake her head with a smile. "You keep saying this, it's not annoying, my ears are going to get calluses from listening to you."

  "Hehe" Gu Huanli smiled foolishly, looking like she had been caught red-handed, "Caught by brother again."

  "You..." - Gu Tianxi didn't know that his sister's flattering and pretending to be obedient was for what, these years he had been struggling in the country, just to establish a kingdom outside of the Gu family, a commercial empire that only existed to protect her. The father's indifference and the mother's early estrangement made this pair of siblings grow up, also making them rely on each other for support and warmth.

  That year, Father had almost sent my sister to... after believing a rumor spread by our aunt.

  Sanatorium.

  At the thought of these three words, a cold glint flashed in Gu Tianxi's eyes. Everywhere he proclaimed that the remaining member of the Chu family was his most beloved younger sister, but unexpectedly, Auntie was gradually realizing Chu Lintao's original plan.

  However, considering that the Chu family's business was dismantled by his own hands, he has been turning a blind eye to some of Gu's mother and Gu Lianyou's small actions in recent years. At least, those directors and producers will not make things too difficult for Gu Lianyou out of respect for the Gu family business and Fengyun International, otherwise, that dirty circle would not be something that the mother-daughter duo could handle.

  For his sister, he had neglected her, exiled her, and promised too much but couldn't fulfill them one by one. So, he was willing to give her the power of free choice to a certain extent, let alone, it was his decision to send his sister to Xiliu Tian to learn martial arts back then.

  Unfortunately, the person who introduced my sister back then is no longer around now.

  Thinking of this, Gu Tianxi said in a low voice, "Three days, I only give you three days."

  "Yes." Gu Huanli originally didn't plan on staying in that place for too long, from start to finish, she never belonged to that gray world, the gray world that belonged to night.
