Blackening starts from the golden years

Chapter 273 Staying in a hotel tonight
"Gu Gu, this is my gift."

Zhong Xiaoqin handed Gu Jia a set of exquisite books and smiled. Taking the book from her hand, Gu Jia glanced at the cover and said in surprise:

"Thank you Xiaoqin. I like the books written by this female writer very much. Is this a collector's edition signed by her? Where did you get it?"

"Hehe~~"

Looking at Gu Jia who was full of surprise, Zhong Xiaoqin covered her mouth and said with a smile:
"I am also a fan of hers. The last time she came to Shanghai to hold a book signing conference, you were not at home, so I went alone. There were many people at the scene. I waited in line for more than an hour and was almost exhausted. Me."

"Thank you Xiaoqin for your hard work."

Gu Jia smiled and said, she pursed her lips towards Zhong Xiaoqin, said "Yeah" and gave her a "kiss".

Similarly, Zhong Xiaoqin also pursed her lips towards Gu Jia, said "Yeah" softly, and gave her a "kiss".

"Haha~~"

The three sisters laughed happily and laughed while sitting on the sofa in the living room. After laughing, Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Yuan Xudong opposite and asked sweetly:

Yuan Xudong pondered for a while. When he saw Zhong Xiaoqin, Wang Manni and Gu Jia looking at him, he smiled, leaned into Gu Jia's ear and whispered:
"Let's keep it a secret for now. When we go to the hotel in the evening, I will tell you alone."

Gu Jia chuckled. Under the joint efforts of Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin, she laughed so hard that she curled up into a ball. Yuan Xudong sat quietly and watched the three of them playing there. If If Gu Jia's father, Gu Jinghong, was still at home, he would have pounced on them to let them know how powerful he was.

"without me……"

"That's it. How about we go to the hotel together tonight?"

"Wouldn't it be a bit more fun to book a room in a hotel?"

"Gu Jia, what did he say?"

"Yes, why are you blushing?"

"Are the three of us together?"

Zhong Xiaoqin lowered her head, wringing her fingers and said shyly:
"I just feel quite embarrassed. Besides, if the three of us go together, will the hotel agree to check in?"

"I think it's pretty good."

"Tell me, what's wrong with you?"

"Yuan Xudong, where is your gift?"

Looking at Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni who had their eyes slightly widened and their faces full of shock, Gu Jia blushed and said shyly:

"Are you so good at playing?"

Gu Jia argued, her face became even redder. Can she tell her best friend about going to a hotel to book a room at night?
"No, something must be wrong."

"Gu Gu, are you and Yuan Xudong hiding something from me and Manni?"

"Yes, Yuan Xudong, today is Gu Jia's 30th birthday. For such an important birthday, what gift are you going to give her?"

"No, what can he and I hide from you two?"

Wang Manni blushed and said shyly:

Zhong Xiaoqin opened her eyes slightly and looked at Wang Manni. Wang Manni also looked at her and smiled jokingly:
"Xiaoqin, don't you want to go to the hotel?"

"Hurry up and confess, what are you and Yuan Xudong hiding from us?"

Looking at the blushing Gu Jia, Zhong Xiaoqin opened her eyes slightly and asked with some suspicion:

"I said, I said."

"Yes, Gu Gu, did he tell you what birthday gift he would give you?"

Zhong Xiaoqin was thin-skinned and blushed with embarrassment. Wang Manni was also a little embarrassed. Seeing the two of them like this, Gu Jia teased:
"What's wrong with you two? Are you shy?"

"No, he told me to keep it secret for now."

"Haha, it's so itchy. Stop scratching it. Why don't you just surrender?"

"Manni, you..."

Gu Jia blushed slightly. Seeing her shy look, Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin, who were sitting on the sofa opposite her, couldn't help but ask:

Seeing Gu Jia who surrendered, Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin temporarily stopped their "atrocities". They looked at Gu Jia and heard her shyly whisper:
"Tonight, I, Yuan Xudong and I are going to a hotel to book a room."

"You two keep your voices down."

Gu Jia smiled with a blush. Seeing her like this, Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin both looked at her suspiciously. Wang Manni asked:

"Um……"

Looking up at Gu Jia, who was laughing at herself and Wang Manni, and Yuan Xudong, who was sitting nearby and watching the fun, Zhong Xiaoqin blushed and whispered shyly:
"How embarrassing is it to go to a hotel and book a room?"

"Yeah, what gift are you going to give me?"

"Get a room at the hotel?"

"Gu Jia, are the three of us really best friends anymore?"

"Why can't you agree?"

"Then why are you blushing?"

Wang Manni asked after Zhong Xiaoqin. She and Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Yuan Xudong. Gu Jia also turned to look at him and asked with a smile:

Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni sat over, and they jointly pressed Gu Jia on the sofa, tickling her, "coercing and tempting" and said with a smile:
“If you confess, you will be treated with leniency, if you resist, you will be treated with severity.”

Looking at the shy Zhong Xiaoqin, Gu Jia said with a smile:

"When the time comes, can't we just go in first and let Yuan Xudong come over?"

"Gu Jia, you are so understanding."

Wang Manni looked at Gu Jia and smiled. Gu Jia rolled her eyes at her, smiled and said coquettishly:
"What do I know? Isn't this an easy way to avoid it?"

"Is it easy?"

Wang Manni looked at Zhong Xiaoqin beside her and asked with a smile:

"Xiaoqin, have you thought about it?"

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoqin shook her head in a cute way. She looked at Wang Manni and said blankly:
"No, I didn't expect that at all."

"right."

Wang Manni looked at Zhong Xiaoqin and smiled, then she looked at Gu Jia and said with a smile:

"Gu Jia, I didn't expect you to be such a person."

Gu Jia rolled her eyes at Wang Manni and said with a smile:

"Okay, that's the kind of person I am, can't I?"

"What kind of person is he?"

Zhong Xiaoqin asked blankly. After speaking, she looked at Wang Manni and Gu Jia and said doubtfully:
"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word?"

"Still pretending?"

Looking at the cute Zhong Xiaoqin, Wang Manni stretched out her hands and pulled her baby-fat face and smiled:

"Pretend to be pure, right? Zhong Xiaoqin, why do you think you are so lovable?"

"No, who is pretending to be pure?"

Being pulled on both sides of her face by Wang Manni, Zhong Xiaoqin looked at her pitifully and whispered in pain:

"It hurts, Manni, you are bullying me."

"I just bullied you, what can you do to me?"

Wang Manni said with a smile, looking at the soft Zhong Xiaoqin, she couldn't help but want to bully him.

"Gu Gu, save me."

Zhong Xiaoqin pitifully looked at Gu Jia next to her for help, looking so endearing that I felt pity for him.

"Manni, stop bullying Xiaoqin. Look at her, how pitiful she looks."

Gu Jia smiled slightly. Hearing this, Wang Manni also smiled and let go of Zhong Xiaoqin. Zhong Xiaoqin suddenly threw herself into Gu Jia's arms and said to her coquettishly:
"Gu Gu, you are the best."

"Okay, look at you, you are such a big person, but you still look like a little girl who has not grown up."

While Gu Jia was talking about Zhong Xiaoqin, she gently patted her back with her hand and said with a smile:

"You celebrated your thirtieth birthday before me, so you should be my sister. How can I ask a younger sister to take care of my older sister?"

"Then I don't want to be a sister, I want to be a younger sister and let you take care of me, hehe~~"

"You, I really can't do anything about you."

Looking at the cute Zhong Xiaoqin, Gu Jia couldn't help but smile. After knowing Zhong Xiaoqin for ten years, she has always played the role of her "sister". She has long been used to it, and Zhong Xiaoqin is also used to it.

"Jiajia, it's time to eat."

Aunt Chen shouted.

"Here we come, Sister Chen." Gu Jia called back. She looked at Zhong Xiaoqin, Wang Manni, and Yuan Xudong and said with a smile:

"Come on, let's go eat."

"okay."

"Okay."

"Let's go, I'm starving."

……

At the dinner table, Xu Ziyan sat next to Gu Jia, looked up at her, and said in a sweet voice:
"Mom, I wish you a happy birthday and be happy every day."

"Thank you Ziyan."

"Can I have that cake?"

"Well, let's eat."

Gu Jia smiled and touched Xu Ziyan's head, watching him eat the cake. At this time, Gu Jinghong looked at her and smiled:
"Daughter, daddy also wishes you a happy birthday and all the best."

"Well, thank you Dad."

Next, Yuan Xudong, Zhong Xiaoqin, Wang Manni, and Aunt Chen wished Gu Jia a happy birthday. Everyone happily shared the birthday cake and a large table of delicious food.

"cheers."

"cheers."

……

After eating, Gu Jinghong called Gu Jia aside alone.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Jia looked at Gu Jinghong and asked with a smile. Gu Jinghong took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to her, smiling:

"This is your birthday gift from dad. Keep it."

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Looking at the bank card handed over by his father, Gu Jia smiled and said:

"I'm already thirty, why do you still give me pocket money to spend?"

"Not pocket money."

With that said, Gu Jinghong put the bank card into Gu Jia's hand and explained:

"Didn't Dad go to a nursing home? So I sold the old house. This is the money from selling the house. You can use it."

"Did you sell your old house?"

Gu Jia was taken aback, and Gu Jinghong smiled nonchalantly and said:
"I eat well, sleep well, and have someone to take care of me in the nursing home. When I think about it, it turns out that it would be a waste to leave that old house empty. I might as well sell it. Don't you need money now?"

"Dad, I can't accept your money."

Returning the bank card to his father, Gu Jia said:

"I have money of my own. You keep your money and spend it for yourself. I have never shown any respect to you, and now I still charge you money for selling your house. What have I become? I'm a bastard?"

"What are you talking about?"

Rolling his eyes at Gu Jia, Gu Jinghong thrust the bank card into her hand again and said angrily:

"It's not like you don't know. I don't spend money at all. The money I put here is just a bunch of numbers. Besides, I only have a precious daughter like you, so I will keep the money for you. Will you still return it in the future? Can you leave me alone?"

"But……"

Gu Jia wanted to say something else, but Gu Jinghong interrupted her and said:

"You don't need to say any more, it's just decided."

After speaking, he looked at Gu Jia and sighed:
"Daughter, dad knows that you want to be strong, but without money in your pocket, you have no confidence. Dad feels sorry for you when you look like this. Dad has no ability and can't help you with anything. He can only help you with Ziyan and give you money. With your money, as long as your spirit is still there, there is still hope for everything, right?"

"Dad, thank you."

Looking at her father, Gu Jia's eyes were moist. Yes, she used to be such a proud and strong person, but now?

There was no money in her pocket, and her spirit was also gone. If it had been before, would she have succumbed to a bad guy like Yuan Xudong step by step because of money?

Thinking about her recent experiences, Gu Jia secretly made up her mind that she must be the proud and strong Gu Jia she once was.

Looking at Gu Jia with wet eyes, Gu Jinghong smiled and said:

"Okay, dad won't say any more, lest you think I'm verbose, I'm going to accompany Ziyan. You young people can play together. Oh, by the way, the bank card password is still the same as before, do you remember it? "

"remember."

Looking at his father, Gu Jia smiled and said:
"You've been using this password for more than ten years and you still haven't changed it."

"Whatever you change it for, the one I use is fine."

Gu Jinghong smiled and then walked away to play with Xu Ziyan.

"Zi Yan, would you like grandpa to play with the train with you?"

"Okay."

Seeing her father taking Xu Ziyan into the children's room, Gu Jia put away her bank card. She walked to the sofa in the living room and looked at Zhong Xiaoqin. Wang Manni and Yuan Xudong laughed:
"Come on, let's go out and play."

"Okay."

"Okay."

Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni looked a little excited. Yuan Xudong smiled and accompanied the three of them out to play.

……

They first went to a nightclub, accompanied by Yuan Xudong. Gu Jia, Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin all had a great time. They drank a lot of wine and pulled Yuan Xudong to dance closely. Especially Zhong Xiaoqin, who danced unexpectedly for the first time. It must be extremely good.

Under the influence of alcohol, live music, and the atmosphere, Zhong Xiaoqin, who was originally honest and shy, twerked and swung her hips close to Yuan Xudong's body. The same was true for Wang Manni and Gu Jia. Yuan Xudong felt a little angry after being teased by them like this.

After staying in the nightclub for half an hour, Yuan Xudong took the three tipsy women and left, heading straight to a nearby big hotel.

He had already booked a couple's suite online for 8,888 a night. It had a rose bath, a water bed, and a red swing rope on the bed. Yuan Xudong felt that Gu Jia would definitely do it. I like it because she usually uses this kind of cloth rope for exercise, but she usually uses white cloth rope, while the one in the couple's suite is bright red, which looks better.

Yuan Xudong doesn't know how to use this kind of cloth rope, but Gu Jia can use it. She can also teach Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin how to use it.

……

Soon, Yuan Xudong took Gu Jia, Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin into the couple's suite he booked.

Seeing the white candles, red rose petals, red heart-shaped bed, and the red cloth rope hanging in the air in the room, the three women all had pretty faces, and stood there with their heads lowered, not daring to look. Yuan Xudong.

After looking at the three of them, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"I'll prepare the bath water. You guys sit down for a while."

"Ah."

"it is good."

"Go ahead."

After watching Yuan Xudong leave, Zhong Xiaoqin raised her head and glanced at the red rope hanging in mid-air on the bed. She looked at Gu Jia and Wang Manni beside her and asked curiously:
"Gu Gu, Manni, what is this red rope for?"

Looking at Zhong Xiaoqin who was full of curiosity, Gu Jia blushed and whispered shyly:

"What else can it be used for? He will use it to bully us later."

"what?"

Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes widened slightly and she said in surprise:

"Is he going to tie us up?"

"What do you say?"

Wang Manni glanced at Zhong Xiaoqin, who had her eyes widened. Then, she looked up at the red rope hanging in mid-air on the bed and said shyly:

"No man is good."

Looking at Wang Manni and Gu Jia beside him, Zhong Xiaoqin widened his eyes and asked stupidly:
"Then shall we escape now?"

Hearing what Zhong Xiaoqin said, Gu Jia and Wang Manni stopped talking and just lowered their heads shyly.

……

bathroom.

Yuan Xudong poured hot water into the bathtub and put red rose petals into it. After a while, bath water with a layer of fresh red rose petals was ready, with a fragrant aroma.

After walking out of the bathroom, he looked at Zhong Xiaoqin, Wang Manni and Gu Jia smiled slightly:

"The bath water has been put away. Let's take a bath together first?"
