There were no guests in the back garden, and Ji Xiaoxiao wanted to be alone with him.

Gu Chusheng felt restless as he watched Wu Moyan leaving in the distance.

He took his hand back and said coldly, "No."

"You can go shopping by yourself if you want. Grandma said you can do whatever you want."

Ji Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip lightly, "Your backyard is too big, and I'm a bit directionally challenged. What should I do if I can't find the way back?"

"The banquet will start soon, and I have to perform with the band. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."

Gu Chusheng lowered his eyes, "You don't have to go."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Ji Xiaoxiao's hand on his wrist dropped down. She didn't understand what she had done wrong to make him angry again.

There were many guests in the hall, and Ji Xiaoxiao didn't chase after him because she was afraid of attracting people's attention.

I was wandering around the back garden alone in high heels.

The Gu family's back garden is much more luxurious than the Ji family's garden. The vegetation is all rare species that were migrated from abroad.

The further you go in, the less noisy the noise becomes.

Ji Xiaoxiao's high heels were rubbing her feet, so she sat down on a bench in the back garden to rest.

After sitting for a while, I heard the rustling sound of footsteps.

Someone is coming.

"Brother, don't you want to take a walk with me?"

Gu Shanshan held Gu Chusheng's hand with a sick look on her face and spoke in a gentle voice.

"My parents saw that I was not feeling well, so they asked me to go out for some fresh air and some sun to make me look better."

"I'm also afraid of losing face for the Gu family."

Gu Chusheng's expression was indifferent, "No one dares to look down on you."

Ji Xiaoxiao looked through the gaps between the branches and saw Gu Shanshan supporting Gu Chusheng. Her skin was sickly pale and she looked pale. Her lips were painted bright red, which was particularly conspicuous on her fair skin, looking weird.

The voice sounded familiar as soon as I heard it.

Sure enough it was her.

Gu Shanshan is the adopted daughter of the Gu family and nominally Gu Chusheng's sister.

Gu Chusheng's mother's second child was a daughter, but due to unavoidable factors, the child died at birth, and the whole family was heartbroken.

Gu Chusheng's mother was so sad about the loss of her daughter that she damaged her health and almost cried her eyes out.

Later, he had to go to an orphanage to take in a girl who was born on the same day of the same month as him, and raise her by his side to comfort him.

No wonder the Gu family values ​​this daughter so much, as there are only sons and no daughters in this lineage.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoxiao couldn't help but take a breath.

"This weak look, is it because he discovered that he is not his biological child?"

She has liked Gu Chusheng since she was a child, but they are biological siblings.

After finding out that she was not her biological child, Gu Shanshan pretended to be sick and won the love of the whole family.

She wanted to be with Gu Chusheng, but was opposed by the old woman. Who would have thought that this harmless-looking girl would kill her adoptive mother who loved her all her life.

When Ji Xiaoxiao was sighing, Gu Chusheng discovered her presence.

The two met their eyes.

In just a moment, Ji Xiaoxiao looked away with a self-smiling look.

This is what he meant by unwillingness, and he turned around and walked with another girl.

Ji Xiaoxiao awkwardly left through another path.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Gu Shanshan leaned against Gu Chusheng affectionately, "There's no one over there, let's continue walking."

Gu Chusheng looked deeply in the direction of departure.

Her feet hurt again.

High heels don't suit her, but she always wears them.

"The banquet is about to begin, let's go back first."

Gu Chusheng pulled his hand back and walked ahead, not caring whether Gu Shanshan followed him or not.

In the hall of Gu's house, there were clinking glasses.

Ji Xiaoxiao lifted her heels back, and the nude high-heeled shoes rubbed the skin off her heels.

Liu Aixiu looked around the scene but didn't see Ji Xiaoxiao.

Standing on tiptoe, he searched among the crowd and saw the girl's conspicuous figure in the crowd, and came over again with satisfaction.

"Where did you go just now? Grandma couldn't find you anywhere, and even your parents didn't know where you went."

Today, Liu Aixiu wore an elegant burgundy cheongsam with burgundy earrings on her ears, and the bluish-purple gemstone necklace on her chest made her look even better.

Ji Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I'm just going out for a stroll."

Liu Aixiu hurriedly dragged her to the room on the second floor, not satisfied with what she was wearing today.

Too plain.

"You will need to go on stage later. You are in the middle of the stage. How can you hold your own in such plain clothes? Luckily, I have prepared clothes for you in advance. Go and change."

Half an hour later.

The banquet officially started.

Liu Aixiu went on stage to say a few words of thanks.

Gu Chusheng stood nearby.

I just came back from the back garden and couldn't find anyone in the hall.

He was still jealous and worried that she might misunderstand something. Ji Xiaoxiao didn't know that he had a younger sister.

After that, it was time for dancing.

The lights went out, and the only light was shining in the center of the hall.

The entire band was wearing formal business suits, except for one person missing at the piano in the middle.

The lights began to move and everyone was silent.

Follow the light with your eyes.

Until it stopped, everyone's eyes stopped too.

Ji Xiaoxiao was wearing a strapless burgundy dress. The hem of the dress was made of special gauze that reflected colorful light under the lighting.

Her slightly curly hair fell on her shoulders, and her skin was smooth and delicate, like a glowing body, extremely dazzling.

"Fuck, what should I do if my sister steals Grandma Gu's limelight by being so high-profile?" Ji Yu said, unable to take his eyes away.

"Whose daughter is this? She's so beautiful."

"Yeah, why haven't I seen it before?"

"Such a big scene, could it be the daughter of the Gu family? I remember that the Gu family had a daughter about the same age as this one."

"If it's from the Gu family, then it makes sense. Only the Gu family can raise such a beauty."

Ji Xiaoxiao never shows up in public, and was only briefly glanced at by everyone at her 20th birthday party.

Everyone only remembered that a girl proposed to Mr. Gu in public at the risk of her life, but no one clearly remembered what she looked like.

Ji Xiaoxiao's every move reveals the upbringing engraved in her bones.

She sat there like a doll, exquisitely made like a flawless work of art, and no one could find any fault with her.

What she didn’t know was that it wasn’t just the guests who were looking at her.

A row of people with the surname Gu sat by the one-way floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor. Liu Aixiu sat in the middle, looking at her future granddaughter-in-law with satisfaction.

"Grandma, isn't the piano teacher a little too flamboyant and overshadowing you?"

Seeing Gu Chusheng's eyes on the girl, he felt uncomfortable.

Gu Shanshan said as she massaged Liu Aixiu's shoulders.

Liu Aixiu smiled and said, "This is your future sister-in-law, it won't be too much to be more ostentatious."

"I can't wait to show off such a wonderful granddaughter-in-law to the whole world."

When she heard that it was her future sister-in-law, Gu Shanshan's body trembled violently and she stopped what she was doing.

Liu Aixiu continued, "Your brother is not young anymore. It's rare for him to meet someone he likes. I, your grandma, have to help him get together."

"Brother, do you like it?"

Gu Shanshan glanced at Gu Chusheng beside her cautiously, "Brother, haven't you always been allergic to women and don't want to get married? You've never been in a relationship."

For all these years, she was the only girl of the same age as Gu Chusheng.

While she is studying abroad, someone will show up someday.
