Fu Xiuyan pointed at the suit jacket thrown into the trash can and explained to Zhou Wang, "That jacket is his."

Zhou Wang glanced at the suit jacket in the trash can, which was the one tied around Qin Zuan’s waist.

Well, if the Jiang family is involved in this matter, Qin Zuan probably won’t pursue the matter when he wakes up.

After giving Zhou Wang a few words of advice, Fu Xiuyan hurriedly left the hotel. As soon as he got into the car, Lu Jiu called.

"Boss, we found out that Miss Shen didn't run away. She went to Gu's house and seemed to be staying there tonight. We didn't see her coming out."

As soon as the call was connected, Fu Xiuyan got the news of Shen Tingnuo's whereabouts. He asked the driver Lao Zhang to change direction and go to Gu's house.

Soon, the car arrived near the Gu family manor.

Fu Xiuyan did not visit in person, but after getting out of the car, he leaned against the side of the car.

The night wind lifted his hair. He slowly lit a cigarette and held it between his fingertips. He didn't smoke, but just let the cigarette burn.

He stared silently in the direction of the Gu family's house, his eyes dark and gloomy.

The next day.

"Nono, wake up!"

Gu Yanchi, who had already washed up, sat in the wheelchair and looked down at the girl who was sleeping like a pig.

Shen Tingnuo was still sleeping soundly, as if he didn't hear the call.

Gu Yanchi reached out and pushed her shoulder, "Shen Tingnuo, you should get up."

He called again, but the girl did not wake up. Instead, she thought he was making too much noise and covered her head with the quilt.

Gu Yanchi was amused and pulled out his trump card, "If you don't get up, my mom will come in."

As soon as he said this, Shen Tingnuo, who was originally fast asleep, suddenly sat up, rolled off the sofa with a look of panic on his face, picked up his high heels on the ground, and subconsciously crawled under the bed.

If Gu's mother knew that she came to Gu Yanchi's room to sleep again, she would definitely be punished to copy until her hands cramped!

Gu Yanchi was amused by her early in the morning and stopped her in time, "I was just kidding you, Madam Gu didn't come in."

Shen Tingnuo, who was halfway under the bed, turned around and quickly scanned the room. Apart from her and Gu Yanchi, there was no third person in the room.

Knowing that he was being fooled, Shen Tingnuo crawled out from under the bed in embarrassment and stood up, with shock still in his eyes.

"Hate it, why did you lie to me for no reason!" She dropped her high heels unhappily.

Such terrible words were said so early in the morning that her heart is still pounding.

Gu Yanchi lowered his head and smiled, "If I didn't say that, you would probably have to sleep until noon."

Ignoring the man, Shen Tingnuo lay back on the sofa, "I don't have classes until the afternoon, so it's fine for me to sleep until noon."

As she said this, she covered herself with the small sheet with peace of mind, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep for the second round, when her cheek suddenly hurt. She opened her eyes with frustration and met the teasing in the man's eyes.

She slapped the hand that was pinching her cheek and pursed her lips, "What are you doing? You're disturbing others' sleep, be careful of retribution!"

Gu Yanchi stared at the red fair cheek and couldn't help thinking, "She's so delicate."

But she said something else, "It's not that I don't want you to continue sleeping, but the auntie will come in to clean up soon. If you don't leave, my mother will find you."

When Gu's mother was mentioned, Shen Tingnuo's sleepiness disappeared. She stood up, picked up her high heels, and walked towards the balcony while yawning.

"Brother Yan Chi, I'm leaving."

Gu Yanchi said, "Go out through the main gate, and don't climb trees next time. Be careful not to fall."

"No, what if we run into Aunt Gu down there?" Coming to the balcony, Shen Tingnuo did some simple warm-up exercises.

"Mrs. Gu is not that scary." Gu Yanchi laughed.

Shen Tingnuo disagreed, "Come on, it's not scary for you, but for me, it's a nightmare!"

Gu Yanchi opened his mouth and was about to ask her when she would come again, but the girl had already climbed up the railing skillfully and stepped on the thick branches near the balcony to climb towards the big tree.

Afraid of startling her by making a sound, he had no choice but to shut his mouth.

Never mind, she would come when she needed him, so why should he ask more questions?

Besides, he had already talked it out with her last night, and asking again would seem disrespectful of him.

When he was still some distance from the ground, Shen Tingnuo jumped down and landed gracefully, with a kind of superhuman carefreeness.

"Shen, Ting, Nuo!"

Before Shen Tingnuo could stand up straight, a cold female voice came from above her head.

Shen Tingnuo was shocked and thought to himself: It's over!

She raised her head tremblingly, and the pride on her face disappeared in an instant.

"Aunt Gu, you got up really early today..."

The person who came was none other than Gu's mother.

The woman had a stern face like a class teacher and said sarcastically, "If I hadn't gotten up early, I wouldn't have had a chance to catch the thief who sneaked into my son's room!"

Shen Tingnuo pretended not to understand what Aunt Gu meant, took a few steps back, and said with a smile: "Then I won't bother you catching the thief, Aunt Gu!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to run.

However, she had just taken half a step when a woman's voice came from behind her, saying, "Stop!"

Shen Tingnuo wanted to pretend he didn't hear it, but Gu's mother had foresight and threatened: "Try to take another step forward, and I'll let your own father beat your ass into pieces!"

Shen Tingnuo had to give up the idea of ​​escaping, turned around honestly and stood in front of Gu's mother.

Shen Cong listens to the Gu family the most, and Shen Tingnuo dare not resist Gu's mother who is used to complaining.

"How long have you been here?" Gu's mother looked at Shen Tingnuo's clothes, her eyes full of disgust.

"Just arrived..." Shen Tingnuo said guiltily.

Mother Gu didn't believe it, so she turned to the servant and said, "Go check the surveillance footage from last night."

"I came here last night, around ten o'clock." Shen Tingnuo quickly told the truth, but he was vague about the specific time.

Mother Gu said angrily, "You are already an adult, and you crawled into an unrelated man's room in the middle of the night, and you lied to him. Is this how your father taught you to behave?"

Shen Tingnuo lowered his head and allowed Gu's mother to scold him.

Anyway, from childhood to adulthood, she had been scolded and punished to copy by Gu's mother, and she had gotten used to it.

She knew that Mother Gu looked down on the Shen family, and even more so on her. Even if Gu Yanchi couldn't stand up, Mother Gu still felt that no one was worthy of her son.

"Your Shen family is a small and insignificant family. You don't have any rules at all, and the children you raise are even more unruly!" Mother Gu scolded.

Shen Tingnuo listened numbly without refutation.

"Especially you, Shen Tingnuo, your face is thicker than the city wall..."

"mom!"

Gu Yanchi's voice came from the balcony on the second floor, interrupting what Mother Gu was saying.

Shen Tingnuo raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The man was sitting in a wheelchair with a coat draped over his shoulders. The morning sun shone on him, making him look a little unreal.

She didn’t know if it was because of the dazzled sunlight or something else, but she seemed to see Gu Yanchi’s distressed look.

distressed?

Will Gu Yanchi feel sorry for her?

Just kidding.

He said last night that the two of them were just exchanging interests.

He enjoyed her company and she enjoyed his protection.

Shen Tingnuo blinked, and when he looked at the man again, there was no trace of heartache or anything like that in his eyes.

It turned out that she had seen it wrong.

Mother Gu looked at her son above her, and her voice became several degrees gentler than before, as if she was not the one who had just scolded him.

"Achi, did mom disturb you?"

She glared at Shen Tingnuo in reproach, "It's all this girl's fault. She jumped down from the tree so early in the morning and scared me. She doesn't have the modesty that a girl should have!"

Being scolded, Shen Tingnuo curled his lips without any expression.

Gu Yanchi opened his mouth and said, "Mom, I was the one who asked her to jump off the tree, and I was also the one who asked her to stay over last night. Don't blame her."

This statement undoubtedly put all the responsibility on himself and even slapped Gu's mother in the face.

Mother Gu did not believe her son's words and instead said, "Achi, don't spoil her. Look how spoiled she has become!"

Shen Tingnuo secretly rolled her eyes and was caught by Gu's mother, which made her even angrier.

"What's that look in your eyes? Are you rolling your eyes at me? You really have no rules. I shouldn't have let you into the Gu family in the first place!"

"I didn't roll my eyes, I just had an eye cramp accidentally." Shen Tingnuo denied it and rubbed his eyelids deliberately.

Gu's mother looked at her with increasing dissatisfaction, and regretted letting Shen Tingnuo enter the Gu family.

Considering the status of the Shen family in the imperial capital, Shen Tingnuo was able to enter the Gu family because of a connection. Whenever Gu's mother thought of it, she would express regret and think it was a bad fate!

When Gu Yanchi was young, his parents were busy with business and spent very little time with their son. It was normal for them not to go home for three months.

In order to prevent their son from being too lonely, Gu's parents discussed it and picked out a few good-looking children from some wealthy families. They let the young Gu Yanchi choose a brother or sister to stay and accompany him.

Among the children, Gu Yanchi fell in love with the pretty and well-behaved Shen Tingnuo at first sight.

However, Gu's mother was not satisfied with her son's choice because the Shen family was just there to make up the numbers.

Who knew that her son would choose the only child who was there to make up the number. There was nothing she could do but to keep him.

This stay lasted for more than ten years.

Shen Tingnuo was not liked by Gu's mother when he was a child, and now that he has grown up, Gu's mother still doesn't like him.

It would be fine if Shen Tingnuo liked her son, but this untreatable little devil not only just lay on her son's neck and sucked his blood every day, but she even fell in love with that bitch's son!

It's really annoying!

Mother Gu's face darkened and she opened her mouth to scold Shen Tingnuo again, but Gu Yanchi spoke in time: "Nuo Nuo, wait a moment, I'll take you back."

He pretended to slide his wheelchair.

"Achi!" Gu's mother called her son, "You stay at home. Mom is going to the company, so I'll take her home."

"It seems that my house is not on the same route as Gu Group..." Shen Tingnuo muttered, strongly opposing Gu's mother to send her back.

When Mother Gu glared at her, she immediately changed her words, "On the way, on the way, very on the way, sorry to bother you, Aunt Gu, thank you so much!"

Mother Gu snorted arrogantly and took the lead, "Let's go."

"Yes..." Shen Tingnuo followed listlessly, and noticing the strong gaze from above, she turned her head and smiled at the man in gratitude.

Although Gu's mother didn't like her very much and sometimes spoke harshly to her, Gu Yanchi was really good to her.

Seeing the bright and clear smile on the girl's face, which was not affected at all, Gu Yanchi was stunned for a long time. He slowly withdrew his gaze until the girl and her mother walked away.

The initial noise was no longer in his ears, and he felt inexplicably melancholy.

His peripheral vision accidentally caught sight of the obvious footprints left on the iron railings, and Gu Yanchi's melancholy immediately disappeared. He turned to the servant who came in to clean up and said:

"No need to clean today."

"But……"

Gu Yanchi didn't want to say more, so he just waved his hand and the servant had to leave.

……

on the car.

Shen Tingnuo stayed close to the car door the whole time, turning his head to stare out of the window, leaving the back of his head exposed to Gu's mother beside him.

It was rare that Mother Gu stopped criticizing Shen Tingnuo and just sat quietly on the other side.

The two of them kept to themselves and walked quietly along the way.

It was not until the car arrived at the Shen family's old house that Shen Tingnuo unbuckled his seat belt and whispered "thank you" to Gu's mother. When he was about to get out of the car, the silent mother Gu spoke.

"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

Shen Tingnuo just turned his head and kept turning sideways as if to get out of the car.

Seeing that she was sitting in an awkward manner, Mother Gu pursed her lips, but ultimately said nothing, only her brows were tightly knitted in confusion.

It was the first time that Shen Tingnuo had seen Mother Gu like this. She urged her, "Aunt Gu, I have classes later."

Mother Gu said unhappily, "Why are you urging me? Let me think about what to say."

Shen Tingnuo frowned, unable to hide his disgust.

Three minutes later, Mother Gu seemed to have made up her mind, but she still maintained a condescending attitude.

"I can see that Ah Chi likes you very much. When your father is discharged from the hospital, you can tell him to come to Gu's house to discuss the marriage."

Shen Tingnuo's brain froze for a second, and he blurted out, "Are you interested in my dad?"

Mother Gu frowned and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Shen Tingnuo quickly changed the subject: "You mean, you want me to marry Brother Yan Chi?"

"That's right." Gu's mother said in a condescending tone, "You are lucky. In fact, a family like you is not worthy of A Chi, especially a girl like you who has no education at all. But A Chi likes her, so for the sake of my son, his father and I can take a step back."

Mother Gu said sternly, "I don't ask much of you. As long as you can stay with Ah Chi honestly, don't cheat on your wife, or unconditionally support your family, that's enough."

She disdainfully criticized everyone in the Shen family: "Your father is stupid and greedy, your brother surnamed Fu is ambitious, your brother is just a gangster, and the rest of the Yun family mother and daughter are a pair of green tea lovers. They are not good people at all. You'd better not contact them as much as possible."

Mother Gu thought about letting Shen Tingnuo marry her son for a long time. The main thing was that her son liked her. As long as her son liked her, it was fine.

As for who Shen Tingnuo likes, she has no control over it. She only knows that her son likes him.

Although what Gu's mother said was unpleasant, it was very true, especially her evaluation of other people in the Shen family, which really touched Shen Tingnuo's heart.

However, regarding marrying Gu Yanchi, she said without a second thought: "Aunt Gu, you don't have to force yourself so much."

"Since you know I'm reluctant, then you should be careful. Marrying my son is much better than marrying your brother named Fu!"

When Fu Xiuyan was mentioned, disgust and hatred flashed in Gu's mother's eyes.
