The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 57 No wonder it hurts

Lu Nanting felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body felt like it was about to shatter.

Gu Lanxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I bumped into it by accident, and it felt like I had stuffed an eggplant in my hand. It was really scary!

No wonder it hurts!

"Who's here? I'll go see!"

Seeing her eagerly turn over and sit up, Lu Nanting was lucky he didn't grab her ankle and pull her back!
Because his phone rang, Gu Lanxi picked it up and read the news that made him completely give up:

"Don't be afraid, it's my cousin Gu Jiayi. She's not a paparazzi or a stalker."

So this is the key point now?
Poor young master Lu thought he could go to Hong Kong with a gun tonight and become a "formal employee", but he could only return to his room in a sorry state.

After all, it was Gu Lanxi's sister who came; his state was too embarrassing.

Seeing him leave, Gu Lanxi quickly tidied herself up and went to the door, where she saw Gu Jiayi downstairs, wearing a baseball cap and waving her phone at the camera.

Gu Jiayi comes here often. Gu Lanxi registered her license plate number with the property management, so she can drive directly into the underground parking garage. But if she wants to take the elevator upstairs, someone has to answer the door.

Seeing that it was indeed her, Gu Lanxi remotely controlled the elevator to open the door, and Gu Jiayi stepped in. Before long, they were on the eighteenth floor.

In the past, she would always call ahead to make sure someone was home before coming, but this time she just came straight over.

Gu Lanxi couldn't understand it.

But as soon as the person appeared, she immediately understood.

Because Gu Jiayi had injuries on her face.

Judging from the bluish-purple and yellowish edges, it has probably been there for several days.

"Sis, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Jiayi stepped out of the elevator, kicked off her high heels in a couple of seconds, bent down to find her signature slippers in the shoe cabinet, put them on, and then spoke with a look of annoyance:

"What else can I do? I've run into a jerk. He's rich but arrogant, and he's not magnanimous when he should be..."

Gu Lanxi is now a bit allergic to the word "rough," so she ignored her nonsense and asked, "Who hit you?"

"Ex-boyfriend!"

Gu Jiayi gritted her teeth and answered her question, then picked up her bag and went through the gate.

Clearly, this breakup was very undignified and made her quite upset.

Which ex-boyfriend?

It's no wonder Gu Lanxi asked that question; Gu Jiayi has had too many ex-boyfriends. Sometimes, if she doesn't contact them for a week, she might end up with two more.

"It's the one we talked about a couple of months ago!"

Gu Jiayi entered the living room and, as if she were in her own home, tossed her recently purchased limited-edition bag onto the sofa from a distance.

The bag bounced on the sofa and rolled directly to the floor, but she didn't care. Instead, she focused on pouring a glass of warm water and gulping it down.

"I encountered rush hour traffic when leaving the city, and it took me more than three hours to get there. I forgot to buy a bottle of water the whole way! Oh dear! I have so much to tell you! But it just doesn't feel right to say it over the phone!"

"Weren't you saying you were really into it and even moved in together?"

"I never expected this! She usually seems so good-tempered, but when she gets angry she's so terrifying! Ouch—it hurts so much! That bitch! She always slaps my face!"

The bruise on the corner of his mouth was particularly severe, and he would grimace in pain if he got even slightly agitated.

Gu Lanxi felt sorry for her.

"Has a medical examination been conducted? Has the police been notified? Which lawyer was contacted?"

They don't ask about the cause of the matter at all, only care about the result and the solution.

This is very much like Gu Lanxi.

Seeing her worry, Gu Jiayi explained what had happened:

"I was so scared that I grabbed a fruit knife and stabbed him a few times..."

When his wife's relatives came to visit, Lu Nanting felt it was impolite to hide in the room alone. After calming down, he immediately changed his clothes and came out.

As soon as he entered the living room, he heard Gu Jiayi say these words, and his eyes widened instantly!
Seeing a man coming from the bedroom, Gu Jiayi raised an eyebrow slightly before even getting a good look at him, and naturally finished the rest of her sentence:

"...Following the method you taught me, eight stabs, minor injury. I hired a lawyer. He hit me on the head first, I acted in self-defense, and in the end I didn't pay a penny. I did want to sue him for attempted murder, but it was just soft tissue damage, not even a minor injury, and he refused to admit it." Gu Lanxi covered her face.

There's no need to go into such detail.

Gu Jiayi then realized that the wooden chicken in the corner was Lu Nanting!
This time, I was genuinely surprised: "This is...my brother-in-law?"

Lu Nanting's marriage has been trending on social media for several days. Gu Jiayi isn't a cavewoman; seeing him coming out of the bedroom in his pajamas so late at night, she naturally guessed it immediately.

I never expected that the lucky person everyone was looking for was actually my own cousin!

In the past few days, more and more information has been unearthed online. The currently accepted theory is that Lu Nanting married his first love, whom he wrote about in his songs. This is verifiable, and some of the songs were created when Lu Nanting was 17 years old.

Lu Nanting's studio did not refute the statement at all.

This is the default setting in general.

Gu Jiayi was completely shocked! She didn't even bother to pick up her shawl that had fallen to the ground!
"Manman, you're actually dating?!"

Gu Lanxi wanted to say, "You're always worried that I'll be tricked by Huang Mao, and you're always scaring me. How can I dare to tell you anything?"

But it was really difficult to say these words in front of Lu Nanting.

When Gu Yongxin was studying in Beijing, she saw Gu Lanxi and Lu Nanting on a date, but she kept her mouth shut. Gu Lanxi told her not to tell her family, so she really never told anyone.

Gu Jiayi came here because she was transferred to the North China branch two years ago.

Gu Lanxi and Lu Nanting had already broken up by then.

Therefore, she was unaware that the two had ever talked.

Gu Jiayi often came to visit her, and the two sisters clearly had a good relationship, but she was unaware of this.

Already heartbroken, Gu Jiayi felt even more lost and saddened upon hearing this news. Looking at her, she didn't know what to say.

Lu Nanting couldn't help but glance at Gu Lanxi.

When they were dating, the Lu family knew and supported it, but her cousin, who was so close to her, was kept in the dark...

Being stared at by both of them at the same time, Gu Lanxi felt completely overwhelmed!

However, before she could explain, the two quickly convinced themselves.

Gu Jiayi thought that her younger sister was always well-behaved, so she naturally wouldn't dare let her family know about her early romance.

Lu Nanting thought that Gu Lanxi and the Gu family were still a layer apart, and their relationship was not as close as his with his family. Moreover, Gu Lanxi's personality was different from his.

When she herself was full of doubts about the relationship and lacked confidence that it would last, it was perfectly normal for her not to tell her tribe about it.

Thinking of this, the two simultaneously reached out their hands to formally greet each other:

"Hello, I'm Gu Jiayi, Manman's cousin from the next room. I work in Baoding and come to visit Manman occasionally when I'm on vacation."

"Hello, Sister Jiayi, I am Lu Nanting."

It was their first meeting. Gu Jiayi had just deliberately said those things to scare him, but seeing him so polite, Gu Jiayi felt quite awkward. Just as she was wondering what to say to ease the tension, Lu Nanting asked her:
"Sister Jiayi, you've come all this way, have you had dinner yet?"

After saying that, he started rolling up his sleeves.

With Aunt Wang not around, he, as the host, had to figure out how to entertain the guests.

Gu Jiayi raised an eyebrow, surprised that this young master from a wealthy family could actually cook.

When the bride's family members face their new son-in-law, they inevitably have some reservations.

Gu Jiayi touched her belly and spoke with a straight face, as if the barbecue she had that night had been fed to the dog:
"I'm not particularly hungry, I'll just go out and grab something to eat later."

Gu Lanxi's apartment is located in a bustling area, surrounded by countless restaurants, so she doesn't have to worry about going hungry.

But as soon as he said that, Lu Nanting wasn't stupid, so he immediately went into the kitchen.

"Aunt Wang is on vacation. My cooking skills aren't very good, so I'll just make you something simple. Please don't mind."

Gu Jiayi, the queen of the sea, has dated so many boyfriends that she can't even count them all. Naturally, she has her own criteria for judging a good man.

If she can't even cook, if Manman gets sick and the nanny is off work, who will take care of her?

So she readily agreed: "Thank you very much!"
