The one who came out to greet Gu Yanqiu and Lin Yuewei was Gu Huai's eldest son, and his illegitimate son - Gu Feiquan.
"Yanqiu, brother and sister." Gu Feiquan was very kind, not flattering, nor seemed arrogant.
Gu Feiquan is three years older than Gu Yanqiu and is taller. He inherits Gu Huai's correct appearance, wide eyes, thin lips, and gentleness. To be fair, if it weren't for Gu Yanqiu, Lin Yuewei's first impression of this person was quite good.
But when I think of this as Gu Huai's illegitimate son, maybe it was because of this person and his mother that Mrs. Gu was so angry that no woman could tolerate a mistress, but she was still so rampant. This was Lin Yuewei's random guess, without any evidence, but she inevitably had a stereotype in her heart.
...It's definitely not a good bird.
"Brother." Gu Yanqiu's eyes fell on the man's face, looked at him for a moment, withdrew, and greeted him.
Lin Yue held Gu Yanqiu's arm with a slight hand and nodded. In order not to cause unnecessary things, she wanted to develop a restrained personality in front of the Gu family. Try not to speak as much as possible, as long as it is not rude.
But Gu Feiquan seemed to be very interested in her. He looked at her meaningfully for a moment, picked the corners of his lips and said, "Did I forget to introduce myself? There were too many people on the wedding banquet that day, and I was far away from your seat and didn't say anything. I am Gu Feiquan, Yan Qiu's elder brother."
Lin Yuewei was instinctively repelling him and frowned secretly. Before he could speak, Gu Yanqiu suddenly inserted into their topic.
"Lin Yuewei, you know."
The tone is calm.
Lin Yuewei saw the man's expression as usual, and the smile on the corner of her lips became deeper than before, so she didn't say anything.
Somehow, Lin Yuewei felt that Gu Yanqiu hated him very much, even though her expression was impeccable.
Lin Yue nodded slightly, saying hello.
Gu Feiquan smiled and moved away from his two positions: "Go in, mom and dad have been waiting for a long time."
Gu Yanqiu held Lin Yuewei's wrist, patted gently, and entered the door.
On the day of marriage, Lin Yuewei met the Gu family. In her impression, Gu Huai today was more depressed than Gu Huai that day. The smile on the corner of his mouth was fleeting. He had deep nasolabial folds, which seemed to be carved. Once he didn't smile, he would be as serious as a god.
Mrs. Gu He Songjun and him were both extremes. They laughed at everyone. They took off their apron and took up the hand of Gu Yanqiu and Lin Yuewei intimately, looked left and right, and said "a perfect match" as if they saw them in the first time.
Gu Feiquan put his hands in his pockets of his trousers, leaning against Gu Huai on the sofa, with a faint smile on his lips, and a slight sarcasm.
The wall clock ticked on the wall.
Lin Yuewei felt chilling on the back of her neck, and she felt creepy for no reason.
This family is very scheming and fake. If she lives here, she might be driven crazy in less than three days.
Gu Yanqiu didn't care that He Songjun called her mother, "Auntie He". Lin Yuewei called her. He Songjun first had a trace of injury in his eyes, and then he looked to be tolerant and generous, and responded gently, "I've gone to the kitchen, and there is still a soup that has not been made. You should try your aunt's craftsmanship tonight."
Gu Yanqiu: "Thank you aunt."
Lin Yuewei blinked her eyes and stopped on He Songjun's face for a moment. She didn't know what she thought about, and then lowered her eyes again.
Gu Yanqiu guessed that Lin Yuewei didn't like this atmosphere, so he met the three of them, led Lin Yuewei upstairs and to his room.
"You..." Lin Yuewei spoke.
Gu Yanqiu's index finger was erected between his lips.
Lin Yuewei shut her mouth and looked at her strangely.
Gu Yanqiu took out the small box-shaped thing from his bag, checked it inside and outside the room, but found no abnormality. He found several places close to the power supply before putting away the machine and saying to Lin Yuewei: "What did you just want to say? You can say it now."
Lin Yuewei raised her hand and pretended that she was almost shocked to the ground. She still remembered what she was going to say just now, her mind was full of her actions just now, like an agent in a TV movie.
Lin Yue swallowed slightly and asked, "Are you looking for a room with a wiretap or a camera?"
Gu Yanqiu had a slightly surprised expression. Although she didn't say anything, she nodded to confirm Lin Yuewei's guess.
Lin Yuewei lost language for a moment. Is this a spy war at home?
Gu Yanqiu didn't want to tell her this, so he changed the topic: "It will take a while before dinner. Do you want me to go down and chat with my father, or be here to stay with you and get in your eyes."
Lin Yuewei was stunned at first, but then couldn't help but feel happy, thinking: She still has a little humorous cell.
Gu Yanqiu saw her smiling, and then he picked up the corners of his lips, and couldn't help but feel unstoppable.
Lin Yuewei seemed to be merciful and said, "You stay here and get in my eyes." She didn't want to be with that stepmother and cheap brother, and they were all very hypocritical.
Lin Yuewei thought Gu Yanqiu was enough to pretend, but she didn't expect that the people in her family would be even more like this. It seems that Gu Yanqiu is already pretty good, at least pretending not to be offensive. She inexplicably looked at Gu Yanqiu and was a little pleasing to her.
Confusion filled Lin Yuewei's head. She suppressed it for a long time, but still couldn't help it. She asked, "Have you ever installed a wiretap in your room?"
Gu Yanqiu nodded silently.
"Who pretended?"
Gu Yanqiu glanced at her and didn't say anything. The answer was obvious. In this family, it wouldn't be her real father, isn't that a ghost father? Seeing his eagerness to marry Xu Xian, the only possibility was He Songjun and Gu Feiquan.
“…Okay.”
Lin Yuewei asked the first question and then there was a second sentence: "Then have you told your dad?"
Still nodding.
"What did he say?"
"Nothing said anything." To be precise, she threw the eavesdropping device she found into the trash can and said nothing. She might have thought she was directing and acting.
"What?!" Lin Yuewei heard from Lin's mother that Gu Yanqiu may not have a good life in this reorganized family, but her situation still exceeded her imagination. After all, she was also the legitimate daughter of the Gu family. How could she fall into this field? But Gu Huai's old fox was unfathomable and she didn't let anyone else see it at all.
"Who is your dad?" Lin Yuewei was filled with righteous indignation.
Gu Yanqiu captured the sympathy that flashed through her eyes, controlled the hand that was hidden behind her, which was almost clenched into a fist. The eyes were condensed, and he stared at her slowly and said: "Miss Lin, this is my family business, you are beyond the rules."
One sentence once again drew a clear boundary between the two people who had finally been close, and poured cold water on the head of the ancient road, Lin Yuewei's head.
Lin Yue was silent, shrugged, leaned back on the back of the chair, and said indifferently: "I'm troublesome."
"That's not what I mean."
"I know what you mean. I won't care about your family affairs, nor will I ask about it anymore. I'm quite busy with my own affairs, and I don't have so much time to worry about it."
“…it’s best.”
"you--"
Lin Yuewei was immediately in a bad mood. She also wanted to ask her if she needed to ask her family to help her. Fortunately, she didn't ask, and she kindly thought it was a donkey's liver and lungs.
Lin Yue slightly turned her chair and turned over and said, "Forget it, you'd better go downstairs and don't get in the way here anymore."
"I'll call you when I'm having a meal." Gu Yanqiu didn't say a word to defend himself, and went out to bring the door, turned around and took a step. A crack appeared in the calm expression in front of Lin Yuewei, and a trance flashed in his eyes.
In fact, Gu Huai was not like this in the past. When her mother was still alive, the family was also a model family in the eyes of the world. Gu Huai was very busy at work, but as long as she didn't go on a business trip, she would go home no matter how late she was in socializing. Gu Yanqiu, who was sleeping, was sometimes awakened by the alcohol on Gu Huai's body. When she opened her misty eyes, she would see her father sitting at the head of the bed. Her kind eyes could not be disguised. If that was a disguise, it would be a little scary for a person who could disguise for more than 20 years. First, Mrs. Gu had vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name. There was a small Buddhist temple at home, where she chanted scriptures from time to time. After school, Gu Yanqiu went to the Buddhist temple to find her, and she would put down her Buddha and spend time with her daughter. On Saturdays and Sundays, Gu Huai and Mrs. Gu took Gu Yanqiu to the amusement park where children liked to play, watch movies or go outings.
After Mrs. Gu's death, Gu Huai's temperament changed drastically, or his nature was exposed, and the depression and seriousness in front of outsiders were also placed in front of her biological daughter. Gu Yanqiu didn't want to believe it, but Gu Huai first married Xuxian, welcomed his eldest son, and then sealed the Buddhist temple to clear away all traces of Gu's mother in this family. He changed his attitude towards himself greatly, which made Gu Yanqiu repeatedly disappointed. What made her even more shocked was that Gu Feiquan was three years older than her, and it was obvious that Gu Huai and He Songjun had been secretly celebrating music for a long time. So over the years, the good husband and good father he created in front of Gu Yanqiu and his daughter was a joke.
Gu Yanqiu smiled self-deprecatingly, stopped, raised his head slightly, looked at the ceiling, and poured the dampness and heat in his eyes back.
***
At the dinner table, Lin Yue looked at her nose and nose. When someone asked her a question, she replied in a low voice. Her eyes flashed, her cheeks were slightly red, and her teeth were white. This timid and restrained personality made her look well-behaved and harmless, like a fresh camellia. Gu Feiquan was stunned twice when she saw her.
Lin Yuewei endured it.
Gu Huai was eating well, suddenly frowned and said, "Yanqiu, you have trained enough in the branch. Since you are all married, you can go to the headquarters from tomorrow to work."
He Songjun and Gu Feiquan both looked at each other.
Lin Yuewei obviously felt the atmosphere solidify inch by inch.
Gu Yanqiu looked up and replied lightly: "Okay dad."
