爱唯侦察正片大片

Xu Nuan glances at Grandfather Gu in confusion and asks, " Grandfather, is there something that you want to talk about?" 

He shooed Xingren away by saying that he has something to talk to her, and rather than saying something he was looking at Xingren's back with darkened expressions. There was something amiss in his gaze, his eyes were gloomy and dark as he started at Xingren leaving which surprised her. 

Even though Xingren is not his biological granddaughter, after finding this he has always treated her like one and has given her everything best of best. But his sudden attitude change was confusing her. 

He took a deep breath and shook his head, " Nothing. I just want to ask you, how is your work? Is it hard?"

" It's exhausting and difficult but fun. I like it." she smiled which relieved him a little. 

" Xu Nuan, even though it's hard, I will suggest you get into a college and complete your studies. If you want, Grandfather can look into some colleges for you. I can get you admission to the best college only." he suggested excitedly. There was excitement in his eyes while talking about her future. 

" Erm... Grandpa, there is something I haven't told anyone yet. I am planning to continue my studies and take admission to a college. So you don't have to worry about me. I will not disappoint you." She didn't hide the fact that she was going to take admission in a college since it was the fact. 

It can be Xin Lin or others but she was planning to complete her studies with a heavy heart. She has studied business in her past life and going through the same books is going to be exhausting but since she will be doing it for the second time, it will be much easier for her. 

" Really? You have decided on a college? Which college are you planning to take admission to? What about the fees?" He asked, wanting to support her with her studies since he couldn't do anything for her before. 

However, she simply shook her head and responded, " There is no need for you to worry. I will take care of everything. Your Xu Nuan is not the same girl who will cry after being hurt, I know how to stand up again and attack those who have hurt me. So please don't worry about me at all."

Her bold words caught him off guard for a moment. Such words from her mouth sounds were not matching with her innocent smile on her face. 

Since when she changed this much?

-

After talking with Grandfather Gu, a few guests gathered around him and took him away with them to do business talks. She stood in the corner alone and tempted to take a glass of wine but controlled herself since Han Zihao has told herself to not drink outside unless he is by her side. 

Since she came here alone, she can't afford to lose her senses. She took a deep breath and took a glass of orange juice from the waiter who was passing in front of her. She took a sip of it while watching the banquet hall, filled with people wearing a beautiful-bright dress, chatting around happily. 

Seeing them with their partners and friends, she was suddenly reminded of Han Zihao. 'It would have been better if he would have been here.' she sighed heavily while rubbing the glass in her hands. 

-

As Xingren has asked her, she didn't go over to their table to meet them as she doesn't want to ruin her mood by seeing their 'ugly' faces. However, the peace didn't stay for long when Xingren approached her with Lin Ran and Grandmother Gu by her side. 

" Sister, why are you standing here alone? Why didn't you come to meet us at our table?" Xingren wrapped her hands around her arm and said while trying to act intimately as if they're real sisters or have a good relationship with each other. 

This intimate gesture made her frown and disgusted, her ears were urging for an itch as she spoke in a high-pitch tone making her cringe. 

Grandmother Gu looked around and smirked, " Why are you alone? Where is your boyfriend?" she asked in a mocking tone with her folded hands in front of her chest. 

" He is busy, so I didn't bring him over here." Xu Nuan's cold, brief response made Grandmother Gu frown but seeing how she was making excuses, she scoffed, " Stop making useless excuses. Didn't I tell you that I have a fine man that I want to introduce to you? He is here. Meet him and try to get to know about him."

" It will be a great opportunity for you to marry a man with high character and background, especially when you don't deserve any," she said indifferently, leaving Xu Nuan speechless. 

Xu Nuan glanced at Lin Ran who was also nodding to her mother's words and felt her blood boiling with every word she was saying. 

" Hmm...I see. I can't believe that the Gu family is so weak in power that they can't even find a good man for their daughter." she commented while nodding with serious expressions. 

" What nonsense are you spouting? Why can't the Gu family doesn't afford anything? When we didn't do anything for you?" Lin Ran shouted when she heard her words, looking down on Gu's. 

" The question is not when you didn't do anything for me, it should be, what did you do for me? Because since the day I came into Gu family, you guys are acting as if I am an outsider and don't deserve anything from this family."

" When you know the truth and are blatantly trying to deny everything. On top of that, you're shamelessly trying to hook me up with some old-pervert divorced man to make good relations for Xingren's business sake. I never thought that Gu's will need to sell their daughter just to secure an investment." she stated indifferently, without holding onto her words. 

Xingren who was holding onto her arm, face turned crimson due to embarrassment upon hearing her straightforward words. She looked around, afraid that someone might hear her words. 

She leaned closer to Xu Nuan and whispered through her gritted teeth in a low voice, " Shut your mouth. If you say one more word, I will not leave you."

Xu Nuan raised her brows in surprise and smirked, " Well, everyone knows who's real and who's fake. However, the truth can never be changed no matter how well you try to hide it." she looked at Lin Ran and Grandmother Gu with a smirk, ignoring Xingren's warning. 

" You!!"

" Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen! We are going to start the 35th-anniversary ceremony of Gu Corporations. Please take your seats." Xingren's words were interrupted by the announcement made from the stage and had to let go of Xu Nuan's hand. 

Xu Nuan smirked at her and walked towards the seat that was reserved for her with Gu's family. She was sure that it must be Grandfather Gu who must have arranged her seat with them, otherwise, they would have preferred for her to take a seat somewhere else, away from them.
