Gu Jiuai had always believed Gu Qingxiong's words, thinking that her mother and brother's death was an accident.
Therefore, she did not have much enmity towards Xu Yi and her son. Furthermore, Gu Bainian had always taken care of her. Even now, she did not feel that Xu Yi had any ulterior motives and thought that it was an accident.
"Ai Ai, are you alright?" Quick, go up and change your clothes. "
Gu Qingxiong suddenly walked over and asked with concern. He didn't forget to give Xu Yi a reproachful look.
Although he usually doted on this woman, but what kind of occasion was this? So many media, so impolite, how could he, the Gu family, put his face away?
Xu Yi also understood Gu Qingxiong's intentions. She could only blame this on Xin Xinyin and leave while gritting her teeth.
Xin Nianyin also didn't expect Gu Miaoyi to hold the wine for her without any hesitation. She didn't know what to say to that, so she looked at Gu Miaoyi guiltily.
"I'm sorry, Ciaran. I will accompany you to change."
"Alright, Third Sister-in-Law, it's nothing. It was an accident to begin with. Why don't you come and change clothes with me?"
Gu Ling'er took the lead and left. Xin Nianyin looked at the side of Gu Ling Ai's face. This girl was as clean as a gardenia, pure and flawless.
Pei Zi Yun looked at their backs, and a faint smile appeared on his taciturn face.
From the moment Xu Yi had set her eyes on Xin Xinyin, he had noticed her. With a single glance, he knew what Xu Yi was going to do next.
The reason why he did not stop her and did not go find Gu Qi was because he tacitly approved of Xu Yi's actions.
Gu Qi's feelings for Xin Nianyin could be concealed from outsiders, but they couldn't hide it from him. This was a critical moment, and a single Xin Nianyin could make him lose.
If that was the case, it would also be a good thing to borrow Xu Yi's hand and let Xin Xinyin leave the Gu family.
However, what he didn't expect was that Gu Ai Ai would actually help Xin Xuanyin block the attack without any hesitation.
It was not as if Pei Zi Yun didn't know what she was thinking about. He had seen her grow up and felt nothing but brotherly affection for her.
In his eyes, Gu Ruoyun was just a little girl. She had lived a life of luxury since she was young, carefree and innocent. She didn't know anything and wasn't his type.
She just didn't expect that this little girl would suddenly cover the alcohol for a person she had just met.
She valued her image the most. She couldn't even wear a single pleat on her clothes, but now she actually helped others block the spilled wine.
This girl, hehe …
As soon as Gu Qi returned, he saw that Pei Zi Yun was unable to restrain his laughter.
Was this still the cold and ungrateful self he had brought with him?
Gu Mai looked for a long time before he was sure. With Pei Zi Yun's gaze, Gu Mi looked in the direction of Gu Fa Ai's room.
He understood in his heart that this kid wasn't naturally heartless.
"Self-respect? "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing."
Pei Zi Yu heard Gu Qi's voice and regained his usual coldness.
"Is that so? How come I heard that Xu Yi just spilled a whole set of red wine all over her body? "
As soon as Gu Qi returned to the main hall, he heard someone discussing something.
"Yes."
Pei Zi Yun briefly recounted what had just happened to Gu Bo.
After Gu Qi had finished listening, she suddenly laughed twice and then said lightly, "It seems like this girl's personality has changed."
At the same time, Xin Xuanyin, who should have changed clothes with Gu Jiuai, suddenly appeared beside Pei Zi Yun. She poked Pei Zi Yun's back with her finger, and said anxiously.
"Mr. Pei, when I went to the washroom, I didn't know why the door couldn't open. Now that I'm locked inside, can I trouble you to help me?"
With an anxious look on her face, she stared expectantly at the calm face of Pei Zi Yun.
No matter what, Pei Zi Yun could always keep his head clear.
Furthermore, this was the Gu family, so what could possibly happen to Gu Ling Ai? If the lock was broken, naturally, someone would repair it. Moreover, Gu Qi was still here, so there was no need for him to do anything.
"Young madam, I …"
"Mr. Pei, Ai Ai Hui must be very scared right now. I believe that since she has done so much for you, you … Will they help her? "
Xin Nianyin impatiently interrupted Pei Zi Yun. When she had suggested this idea to Gu Ling Ai, she had expected him to reject her.
But who was she? Even if she had to tie him up, she had to tie Pei Zi Yun up.
"You can go and take a look. You can only take care of whatever that girl is up to."
Although Gu Wei didn't directly expose Xin Nianyin, but the two of them were playing a little trick on each other.
"Poor little girl, I just heard her crying in there."
Xin Nianyin pushed the matter even further. Since everyone understood what he meant, she might as well pretend to be the fool. She had to pretend to be the best.
Pei Zi Yun was embarrassed by the conversation between the couple and walked in the direction Gu Ling Ai had just left in.
After Pei had left, Xin Nianyin made a triumphant face at Gu Jianming.
However, he was met with a glare from Gu Bo. He had just settled the matter with Ning Yan, yet he had come here to meddle in the affairs of others before settling the score with her.
"…"
Gu Qi grabbed Xin Nianyin's wrist and dragged her upstairs to their master bedroom without waiting for a response.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the bathroom, Gu Ai was getting more and more annoyed as she waited.
In order to come back early and see her brother, she had so much to think about that she didn't even eat breakfast.
She had just wanted to eat something, but Third Sister-in-Law had suddenly given her this idea. Now that she had been left alone for so long, she felt a stomachache from the hunger.
Actually, she wasn't too sure. Although Third Sister-in-Law had promised her, she really couldn't be sure if Big Brother Zi Qian would come over.
Just as she was about to lose all hope, she heard a voice she hadn't heard for a long time.
"Ace? "Are you still in there?"
Although he knew that nothing would happen to Gu Ai Hui, Pei Zi Yun's voice carried a tinge of worry.
"Brother Zi Qian, is that you? "I …" Gu Ai Ai suddenly choked with sobs.
He didn't know if it was because he felt wronged or because he had a stomachache.
Pei Zi Yun heard Gu Ling Ai's tearful voice and could not care less.
Pei Zi Yun then started to kick the door of the washroom. Pei Zi Yun had been an expert since he was young, and was anxious to save someone.
Even if it was a door made of precious wood, it would not be able to withstand his kick. In just a few steps, the door was opened.
Inside the room, Gu Ai Ai was squatting on the ground. Her stomach pain made her curl up into a ball. Her face was pale as she pressed her hand against her stomach. The pained expression on her face didn't seem fake at all.
"Ai Ya, what's wrong?" Pei Zi Yun squatted down on the ground and asked in a rarely seen gentle voice. His tone was filled with an unconcealable sadness.
"Brother Zi, I … "My stomach hurts …"
With great difficulty, Gu Ling Ai opened her mouth to speak. Her eyes were filled with tears and sparkles, causing Pei Zi Yun to feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.
A little bit of heartache, and a little bit of tender affection.
