Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 232 Sister, I'll Give You a Few Hundred Million
The person on the other end of the phone was Gu Jia.

Today, she and her husband Xu Huanshan took their son Xu Ziyan to Depu International Kindergarten for an interview.

Everything was going well, except that when Xu Ziyan was answering the last question, he not only failed to answer it correctly, but also bit the interviewer.

Just like that, Xu Ziyan got a big red cross on his interview evaluation form.

After Zhong Xiaoqin hung up the phone, she hurried back to her room and changed into a T-shirt.

After all, the white T-shirt on her body was still affected by some of the warmth and stickiness, but she wiped it with a tissue and tucked the T-shirt into her high-waisted jeans, which allowed her to barely maintain the dignity of a "sister" in front of Lin Yuan.

Zhong Xiaoqin walked out of the bedroom, looked at Lin Yuan who was lying on the sofa, and said, "Stay at my house for a while. When I come back, I will arrange for someone to clean up your house for you."

As she was about to turn around and leave, Lin Yuan seemed to be afraid of being left behind, so he rushed forward and grabbed her wrist, asking, "Sister, where are you going?"

Zhong Xiaoqin paused, straightened her hair, and explained, "Something happened with my godson, I have to go check it out."

Lin Yuan gently let go of his hand: "I'm with you, you can't just leave me alone at your house."

Zhong Xiaoqin was still a little hesitant: "You don't know her."

Lin Yuan had a smile on his face and said in a brisk tone, "I'll get to know him if I go. Besides, what's wrong with me going to meet your godson?"

Lin Yuan knew in his heart that this was a good opportunity to get to know Gu Jia, so how could he miss it easily.

Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Lin Yuan's eager look and her heart softened. She really couldn't bear to leave Lin Yuan alone at home. Besides, he was unfamiliar with the place and had few friends in the country. After weighing the pros and cons, she nodded.

The two then took a taxi to Grand Hyatt.

Room 1201.

Aunt Chen, Gu Jia's nanny, heard the doorbell and gently opened the door.

While Lin Yuan and Zhong Xiaoqin were changing their shoes, soft footsteps were heard and Gu Jia walked out of the house.

She was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt on the upper body and a dark skirt on the lower body. The classic black and white color combination complemented each other, making her look homely yet elegant.

Her long, smooth hair was casually draped on both sides of her chest, swaying gently with her movements.

She has an exquisite oval face, fair and translucent skin, bright and lively eyes, a straight and beautiful nose, and beautiful lips. When she smiles, she is friendly and gentle. She is a very elegant and dignified young woman.

Gu Jia was surprised to see Zhong Xiaoqin wearing casual clothes: "Xiaoqin, you didn't go to work today?"

Zhong Xiaoqin responded with a smile: "Well, I'm taking a day off today."

Gu Jia said with a hint of self-blame: "If I had known you were taking a day off today, I wouldn't have called you over."

"It's okay." Zhong Xiaoqin smiled heartlessly.

Gu Jia's gaze shifted to Lin Yuan behind Zhong Xiaoqin, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She and Zhong Xiaoqin were college classmates and had known each other for more than ten years. Except for Chen Yu, she had never seen Zhong Xiaoqin bring anyone to her on her own initiative.

Zhong Xiaoqin quickly turned sideways and introduced: "Gu Gu, this is my brother, Lin Yuan."

Then he pointed at Gu Jia and said to Lin Yuan: "This is my best friend, Gu Jia."

Lin Yuan shook hands with Gu Jia and felt her soft and smooth hand. "Hello, sister."

Gu Jia smiled back politely, her voice gentle: "Hello."

"You haven't had lunch yet, right?" Gu Jia said to her nanny, "Sister Chen, make a few more dishes for lunch, so it's more hearty."

"Okay, ma'am."

Zhong Xiaoqin asked worriedly, "Gu Gu, is my godson okay?"

Gu Jia smiled gently: "It's okay now."

"You guys sit down first," Gu Jia welcomed the two to the sofa in the living room. After they sat down, she said considerately, "I'll go get you a drink."

"Hey, I'm with you."

Zhong Xiaoqin was like an excited child, holding Gu Jia's arm and walking together.

As Gu Jia took out a cup from the cupboard, she couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get such a little brother? How come I didn't know about it?"

She was very familiar with Zhong Xiaoqin's family situation, but she had never heard that she had a younger brother.

Zhong Xiaoqin explained: "They are not relatives. Our two families have had a very good relationship since childhood. Later, I went to college and he happened to be in high school. His family went to live abroad and he just returned to China yesterday."

Gu Jia raised her eyebrows slightly: "He is only three years younger than us?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Gu Jia shook her head gently and whispered, "I don't know how to describe it. Your brother looks young, but he feels very mature and steady. It's quite strange."

Zhong Xiaoqin pouted. She didn't think Lin Yuan was mature, especially when he leaned the bad guy against her thigh in the morning. It was totally out of character for maturity. She said angrily, "Really? Why do I feel like he's just a naughty boy?"

Gu Jia looked at Zhong Xiaoqin's expression and couldn't help but smile: "In the eyes of a sister, brothers are all like this, they never grow up."

Zhong Xiaoqin changed the subject: "By the way, is there still hope for Ziyan's kindergarten? I saw with my own eyes how you've been through this year. If you can't get in, I'll want to jump off the building."

Gu Jia sighed softly, but soon regained her firmness: "Let us go home and wait for notification. I thought about it. Since we were not killed on the spot, it means we have been given time to work on this matter."

As they talked, they returned to the living room with their cups of coffee. Gu Jia walked over to Lin Yuan and gently placed one of the cups of coffee on the coffee table in front of him.

Seeing that the two of them were discussing Xu Ziyan's admission, Lin Yuan looked at Gu Jia and said politely, "Sister, I want to see your house, is that okay?"

"Of course, you can look at it as you like."

Lin Yuan is Zhong Xiaoqin's younger brother, so there is no reason for him to refuse such a simple request.

Lin Yuan stood up and began to slowly tour Gu Jia's house.

After Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin finished discussing Xu Ziyan's admission, Zhong Xiaoqin suddenly asked:

"Gu Gu, have you ever had a particularly realistic dream?"

Gu Jiazheng took a sip from the cup, with a smile on her face: "How real is it? Is it like Inception?"

Zhong Xiaoqin nodded seriously: "That's about right. Eating, working, sleeping, etc. All the people and things give you real feelings, and you can remember them clearly after waking up."

Gu Jia shook her head: "Really not, why do you ask that?"

Zhong Xiaoqin didn't really expect Gu Jia to have the same bizarre experience as herself, but once she started talking, she couldn't stop: "If you fall in love with someone else in your dream and marry someone else, what would you do?"

Zhong Xiaoqin felt a little shy when she thought about how she cooperated with Lin Yuan in her dream and was pressed under him.

Gu Jia looked at Zhong Xiaoqin's slightly flushed cheeks and couldn't help but laugh softly: "You said it was a dream, but you still want to bring the things in the dream into reality?"

Zhong Xiaoqin curled her lips in grievance. If it was just an ordinary dream, she wouldn't be so entangled.

She paused, changed her angle and asked, "So, if you traveled back in time and married someone else, and then returned to the present, how would you face that person?"

"Xiaoqin, why do you ask such a strange question? Have you traveled through time?" Gu Jia put down the teacup in her hand and looked at her with confusion.

Zhong Xiaoqin quickly waved her hands to deny it: "No~ A colleague of mine told me about this, and I thought it was quite novel and magical, so I wanted to ask you about it."

Gu Jia thought seriously for a moment: "Since you have traveled back in time, of course you should live your life well now. As long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know the story between you and that person."

"Yeah." Zhong Xiaoqin nodded repeatedly, as if to cheer herself up.

"But I'm a little curious. Since you were in a dream, no, since you traveled to the past, why did you marry someone else? Who was it? Tell me, I promise not to tell Teacher Chen."

Gu Jia moved closer, a gossipy look on her face.

"Oh, I told you it wasn't me. I just heard it from someone. There's no such thing as time travel in this world."

Zhong Xiaoqin pretended to be angry, but her heart couldn't help but think about Gu Jia's question.

Yes, why did I marry Lin Yuan in the dream?

In her dream memory, Lin Yuan returned to China in 16. After they dated for a year, they got married with the witness of their parents.

Yes, according to him, the Lin Yuan in his dream had traveled back in time, and it was Lin Yuan who took the initiative to pursue him.

This bad boy, whom I have always treated as my younger brother, actually wanted to do something bad to me.

In the past, she had only seen Lin Yuan's childish appearance in open-crotch pants, but now she even...

Thinking of this, she secretly felt a little happy in her heart. She thought she was still quite attractive.

But why doesn't Chen Yu have any thoughts about me?

When she thought about having to repeat the dull married life with Chen Yu once a month or even once every two months, she suddenly felt like the sky was falling.

Hey~
I will never experience that feeling of butterflies in my stomach again.

I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.

After hearing what Zhong Xiaoqin said, Gu Jia also nodded. She also didn't believe that time travel existed in this world. In her opinion, it was probably just that her best friend dreamed of another man.

But this is not a big deal. After all, no one can control their dreams. If they dreamed that other men were guilty, most of the girls in this world would probably be tortured.

After a while, Lin Yuan walked over to the two of them, sat down next to Zhong Xiaoqin, and praised sincerely: "The room type here is really good! Sister, aren't you working in the property management here? Can you help me ask if there are any vacant houses nearby?"

Zhong Xiaoqin looked puzzled, frowned slightly, and asked curiously, "How do you know I work in property management here?"

"Of course I'll know about your affairs."

Gu Jia gently reminded: "Xiao Yuan, you just returned to China, so you may not be very familiar with the housing prices in China. Although the housing prices have dropped slightly this year, the price of houses in this area is still not cheap."

This house was bought with a loan from her and Xu Huanshan.

Even if housing prices have dropped, it will not have much impact on the residential areas in good locations in Shanghai.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, his expression calm, indicating that he understood, and said with a chuckle: "I am not short of money. I wanted to give my sister a few hundred million this morning, but she didn't want it."

Zhong Xiaoqin held her breath, bit her lip and looked at him nervously. This boy was talking nonsense again!
Thinking of the warmth that hit her clothes and thighs one after another, her little hands couldn't help but clench the corners of her clothes.

Zhong Xiaoqin quickly changed the subject and asked curiously, "I thought you were joking. Where did you get so much money?"

In fact, ever since Lin Yuan returned to China, Zhong Xiaoqin never asked him why he came back. She thought the biggest possibility was that Lin Yuan couldn't make it abroad, so she didn't ask, for fear of hurting Lin Yuan's self-esteem.

Lin Yuan looked calm and said calmly, "I opened a company abroad. It has been doing well in the past few years and has made considerable profits. Buying a suite in Shanghai should not be a big deal."

When Gu Jia heard this, her originally gentle eyes instantly lit up. Lin Yuan was so rich, maybe he could help her husband with his career.

Gu Jia herself is a very ambitious woman. Although she is a full-time housewife, her desire to succeed in the business world and make money has never been extinguished.

Zhong Xiaoqin tilted her head and continued to ask: "Then you don't live in your house anymore?"

Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with a trace of loneliness that was difficult to conceal, but he quickly returned to normal and said softly, "My parents are gone, and I don't want to live there alone anymore. You work here, and if I live here, you can come and see me when you are working or when you visit your godson. Besides, this house is bright and beautiful, and it is located by the river, so the feng shui is very good."

Of course, he had another reason that he didn't tell you. Living here would allow him to visit Gu Jia's house often and improve Gu Jia's favorability towards him.

Lin Yuan certainly didn't want to drag the young married woman into this trouble.

As Xu Huanshan is a scumbag who will cheat sooner or later, it is reasonable for him to help comfort and enlighten Gu Jia out of concern, right?
Gu Jia's eyes flashed with surprise, and she asked with a little curiosity: "Do you also know Feng Shui?"

Lin Yuan realized that he was a little too ostentatious, so he quickly restrained his expression, waved his hand humbly, and said, "I just know a little bit, but it doesn't count."

But the more low-key he was, the more Gu Jia's curiosity burned like a flame that was fueled by oil.

Gu Jia secretly pondered Lin Yuan’s words. “Pearls reflecting the hall” should refer to the Oriental Pearl Tower, and “living by the river” should refer to the Huangpu River.

I bought this house just to make it convenient for my son to go to school. If it really has the benefits of Feng Shui as Lin Yuan said, it might help my husband's fireworks company to move to a higher level.

Zhong Xiaoqin nodded and agreed crisply: "Okay, I'll ask for you when I get back."

Gu Jia then asked, "Xiao Yuan, what kind of business does your company do overseas?"

"It is an investment banking company that mainly engages in corporate financing, mergers and acquisitions, restructuring, and investment transactions." Lin Yuan explained patiently.

"Oh, what a young and promising man!"

There was a look of admiration in Gu Jia's eyes.

Lin Yuan smiled modestly: "Sister, you are too kind. I am just lucky and have a great team."

Gu Jia didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Yuan calling her "sister" all the time. After all, Lin Yuan had lived abroad for many years, and it was normal for the address habits to be a little different from those in China.

However, Zhong Xiaoqin felt a little jealous when she heard this. She felt that half of her exclusive title was taken away by someone else, which made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

When it was lunch time, Gu Jia stood up and gently carried Xu Ziyan out of the room.

When Xu Ziyan saw Zhong Xiaoqin, he called out in a baby voice, "Godmother."

Zhong Xiaoqin smiled widely, her face full of doting, and she gently rubbed Xu Ziyan's little head.

"This is," Gu Jia thought for a moment. Lin Yuan is the brother of the child's godmother. Even if they are not biological brothers, it is appropriate to call him uncle according to custom, so she said, "Uncle."

"Uncle." Xu Ziyan called out crisply, his voice was childish and cute.

Lin Yuan raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle smile, and said, "Hello, uncle brought you a small gift."

Lin Yuan took out a small and exquisite jewelry box from his pocket and handed it to Xu Ziyan.

His storage space was already filled with a wide variety of gifts, for everyone from the elderly to children, all prepared for the current situation.

Xu Ziyan couldn't wait to open the jewelry box. Gu Jia looked inside and saw a jade pendant carved from Hetian jade seed material lying quietly in the box.

The shape is round and full, the lines are smooth and natural, and under the caress of the light, a hint of warmth is faintly revealed. You can tell at a glance that it is of great value.

Gu Jia quickly declined: "This is too expensive, we can't accept it."

"Sister, you don't have to be polite. Ziyan is my sister's godson, so it's only natural for me to give him a gift."

Of course, Lin Yuan's real intention is not to give too much to the wine. He plans to use this gift to win the favor of two women at the same time.

Zhong Xiaoqin was also extremely surprised and couldn't help but say, "You actually prepared a gift for Zi Yan, but I haven't told you about Zi Yan."

"You didn't tell me about Zi Yan specifically, but you posted a lot of pictures of your baby on your Moments, so I took note. Since I'm back this time, of course I have to give you a small gift."

Zhong Xiaoqin felt helpless. This bad boy cared about her so much, why didn't he come back to see her earlier? Now she can only look at him but can't eat him. Isn't this just greedy?

Now that she is Chen Yu's wife, her inner moral bottom line will naturally not allow her to do anything unchaste.

I can only do as Gu Jia said and try hard to forget the intimate interactions between the two of them in the dream.

Gu Jia no longer insisted at this time, and turned to Xu Ziyan and said, "Hurry up and thank your uncle."

"Thank you uncle."

After they finished lunch, they prepared to say goodbye and leave.

Before Zhong Xiaoqin came, she was thinking about finding a group of cleaning staff to help Lin Yuan clean the house.

It would have been fine if Lin Yuan hadn’t returned to China before, but now that he is back, he has to clean the house up.

After all, she was not sure whether there were any owners of the houses in Grand Hyatt Mansion who wanted to sell or rent them out.

"Gu Gu, Zi Yan, let's go."

As Zhong Xiaoqin spoke, she waved goodbye to Gu Jia and Xu Ziyan.

Lin Yuan also waved to Gu Jia who was holding Xu Ziyan: "Goodbye Ziyan, goodbye sister."

After going out, Zhong Xiaoqin felt a little depressed.

At the dinner table, Lin Yuan asked Gu Jia many questions about domestic affairs. At first, he called Gu Jia "sister", and sometimes he just called her "sister". Gu Jia answered every question, and the two had a very pleasant conversation.

Zhong Xiaoqin wanted to interrupt several times but couldn't find a chance. She felt like an outsider and felt very uncomfortable.

It was all in vain that I helped this bad boy feel comfortable this morning.

After Lin Yuan left, he seemed to not see Zhong Xiaoqin's tense face, and deliberately teased her: "This sister is so beautiful."

Zhong Xiaoqin was very dissatisfied and said unhappily, "She has a husband. What does it have to do with you whether she is pretty or not? You keep calling me sister. It's so intimate. If you don't know, you would think you are Gu Gu's younger brother."

"Then what should I call you?" Lin Yuan asked knowingly with a teasing smile on his face, "Sister, are you jealous?"

"I...I didn't!" Zhong Xiaoqin hastily denied it, her face slightly flushed. "You may not know because you have been abroad for a long time. Except for people like us who grew up together or are blood relatives, we can't address each other casually. From now on, you should call Gu Gu Sister Jia."

Lin Yuan pretended to think seriously for a while, and then said, "But I still think calling him by one word is more intimate."

Zhong Xiaoqin was so angry at his words that she didn't want to pay any more attention to him.

Lin Yuan hurried forward and gently held Zhong Xiaoqin's hand, with an intimate tone: "But I think it's enough to be intimate with you only, sister."

Zhong Xiaoqin then smiled with her dimples showing, but then she realized that something was wrong and silently withdrew her hand.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan showed a lonely expression on his face, and continued to act coquettishly: "Sister, can't we even hold hands?"

Zhong Xiaoqin looked at his pitiful appearance, but when she thought of her status as a member of the Seventh Class, she gritted her teeth and said firmly, "No."

In her eyes, Lin Yuan was like Tang Monk's flesh, emitting a fatal attraction. If she relaxed even a little, she might make a big mistake.

The two returned to Lin Yuan's home, which he had not lived in for a long time. Zhong Xiaoqin found a group of housekeeping staff and planned to clean up the house.

This house has been abandoned for too long and is covered in dust and clutter. It is not an easy task to clean it up and make it look brand new. I'm afraid it will take at least two or three days at the earliest.

At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yuan received a call from Zhong's mother.

Mother Zhong's enthusiastic voice came from the receiver, saying that she and Father Zhong had returned to Shanghai and had specially purchased a lot of fresh ingredients, and asked him to come home for dinner in the evening.
