When they heard that it was Gu Chusheng himself who liked it, everyone present looked over.

Over the years, I have never seen him get close to any girl, let alone like her.

Gu Chusheng pursed his lips, "I'm not in good health, so I'm not considering getting married."

After getting such an answer, Gu Shanshan felt a little relieved when she heard him say this.

"Now that my health is getting better, I have this idea."

"Don't you want to have a grandson sooner?"

Liu Aixiu is in a particularly good mood today and is laughing so hard that she is bent over.

"Yes, yes, yes. I just want to hold my grandson. For a beautiful and smart girl like Xiaoxiao, I want to hold my granddaughter even more."

Liu Aixiu took Gu Shanshan's hand affectionately and said,

"Xiaoxiao is about your age, after she gets married, you'll need to take care of her so she doesn't have anyone to talk to."

Gu Shanshan's body was as stiff as a stone sculpture. She felt extremely disappointed, but she couldn't show it.

She tried her best to endure it, gritted her teeth and smiled, revealing her beautiful fangs. She smiled particularly hard, and her already pale and sickly face looked weird at this moment.

"Brother likes me, so naturally I have to help him out."

"Sister-in-law has such a great figure. I can give her the clothes I buy that don't fit her. She will look beautiful in them."

Liu Aixiu felt sweet when she heard him calling her sister-in-law all the time.

Ji Xiaoxiao's fingertips danced lightly on the black and white piano keys, unaware of the gazes and discussions coming from the second floor.

The people present here are all businessmen who have been working in the business circle and are busy around the clock every day.

The long and lingering music made them happy both physically and mentally, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders and they felt relaxed.

“You play it well.”

"I know this band, but the guy playing the piano doesn't seem to be from the band."

"Of course not. I heard that she is the daughter of the Gu family who has never been seen in public. Not only is she beautiful, she is also good at playing the piano. The Gu family really doesn't give anyone else a chance."

Press the last key.

Ji Xiaoxiao let out a long breath.

Fortunately, I didn't mess it up.

Ji Xiaoxiao stood up and faced the guests below the stage, covering her chest and bowing.

Ji Yu was quick-witted and put down the goblet, then rolled over and climbed up to lift up his sister's skirt.

The brother and sister started whispering to each other before they even stepped off the stage.

Ji Yu said with deep emotion,

"Sister, I haven't heard you play the piano for a long time. It sounds great!"

"So, how about it, do I look good?"

Ji Yu nodded rapidly.

I was just taking photos like crazy in the audience and even recorded a video for Big Brother.

But at this point, my brother should be busy.

Ji Xiaoxiao and Ji Yu returned to the lounge on the first floor which was specially prepared for guests.

"Did you or Grandma Gu arrange for you to be so prominent at the Gu family banquet? My parents were sweating in the audience."

Ji Xiaoxiao pounded her aching back and said, "Of course it's Grandma Gu. No matter how brave I am, I can't do such a thing."

"I'm thirsty, please help me get a glass of water."

Although Ji Yu expressed his dissatisfaction, he honestly went out to get some water.

It was already dark outside and there was no light on in the room.

The lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows were on brightly, and some light also crept into the house.

Ji Xiaoxiao took off her high heels and walked barefoot to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the guests coming and going outside, but there was no sign of Gu Chusheng.

He should be accompanying Gu Shanshan.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoxiao couldn't help but lower her eyes, feeling a little disappointed.

pat-

The door was opened.

Ji Xiaoxiao turned her back to the door, thinking it was Ji Yu who came back.

"Put the water on the table. I don't want to drink it now."

The person behind him put the water on the table and heard Ji Xiaoxiao say again, "Tell my parents that I didn't cause any trouble so that they can rest assured. I want to rest for a while by myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a warmth around his waist.

A familiar breath came over her and enveloped her whole body.

Through the reflection in the glass, Ji Xiaoxiao saw clearly that it was Gu Chusheng. She reflexively turned around, hugged his waist, and leaned against his chest.

Gu Chusheng paused for a moment, and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Gu Shanshan is my sister."

"How much do you... want it?"

She would feel at ease with him around. Ji Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and nodded.

"My dad said that grandma's birthday party was to find a future Mrs. Gu for you. I thought she was you..."

Gu Chusheng interrupted, "No."

Ji Xiaoxiao's lips curled slightly, "Now I know, she is your sister, but she doesn't look like you at all."

Everyone in the Gu family knew about the adopted daughter's identity, including Gu Chusheng.

He opened his thin lips slightly, hesitated for a moment and did not explain.

He held the back of her head and hugged her tighter.

The two hugged each other for a long time without anyone speaking.

The sky outside the window was getting darker and darker, and the fireworks blooming in the sky were flickering in front of the two of them.

The floor-to-ceiling windows blocked out all the noise from outside, and at this moment, there was only the sound of each other's heartbeats.

I don't remember how long it took, Ji Xiaoxiao's eyelids became heavy and she sobbed.

"You should go and keep grandma company. It's not appropriate for you, the head of the family, to stay with me all the time when there are so many people here."

Gu Chusheng said, "Why not?"

Ji Xiaoxiao, "?"

The two have not confirmed their relationship, nor have they expressed their love for each other. Now a single man and a single woman are hugging each other in a room.

How come it’s suitable?

Since she had the memories of her previous life, she didn't think it was strange.

But what about Gu Chusheng?

Ji Xiaoxiao's eyes dodged and her voice sounded unnatural, "It's just... it's just not appropriate. If someone finds out, it will be difficult to end it."

Gu Chusheng held her head and forced her to continue leaning on his chest.

He said coldly, "Once you find out, it won't be difficult to end it."

I thought he would say just marry her.

Finally, Gu Chusheng said, "Kill those who gossip about the matter."

Anyone else would be frightened by his words.

But Ji Xiaoxiao wouldn't think so, because she knew that he was not a bloodthirsty person. Although he looked cruel and domineering, he was actually reasonable.

Ji Xiaoxiao pinched him unhappily and said, "I'm going to the back garden. You can always accompany me now, right?"

"it is good."

Gu Chusheng led the girl to sit down on the sofa and took out a pair of flat shoes from the shoe cabinet.

The size fits Ji Xiaoxiao's very well, and I suspect he prepared it early in the morning.

This time, Gu Chusheng took the initiative to hold her hand and walked out of the small door of the room.

Avoid the crowds and head straight to the back garden.

Taking care of Ji Xiaoxiao's skirt, the two walked slowly.

Ji Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly, "Has grandma found a future Madam Gu for you?"

"No."

Ji Xiaoxiao asked knowingly, "That's a pity. Many rich girls came here today."

Gu Chusheng was very frugal with his words, "Yeah."

Ji Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said, "Did grandma tell you why she didn't choose me? I can change it so that when you get better, I can barely get a ticket."

The leather shoes hit the floor, making a crisp sound.

Gu Chusheng suddenly stopped and looked at Ji Xiaoxiao seriously.

"Grandma said you are still in school and too young to be suitable."

The tone couldn't be more serious, Ji Xiaoxiao believed it and put away her smile.

"Are you serious?"

"Grandma really said that about me?"
