C25 Cooperation
"No, sister, I..." Lu Qingyan's facial features were almost twisted together. It could be seen that she was very anxious. Now that she and Gu Yunting were living together, if Elder Sister found out, it would be terrible! Ji Qingyan was about to speak again when she was interrupted, "Qingyan, is there something wrong with you?"
"No... It is just that I am not at home right now and am unable to receive you. Why don't you stay at the hotel today, I'll come and find you later. " He first arranged Lu Chenxing to stay in the hotel. He would bring Lu Chenxing back after she packed the things that belonged to Gu Yunting at home.
"It's fine. I don't have any work these few days. I will just wait for you at home. It's not too late for you to come back now." Lu Chenxing said with a nonchalant tone.
"Alright then." Lu Qingyan could only helplessly agree. She had already thought of all the excuses she could think of. There was really no other way. If she spoke any more, Elder Sister would definitely be suspicious. She could only calm down first.
When she looked up, she saw Gu Yunting looking at her again and giving her an inquiring look.
If she didn't want her elder sister to know that Gu Yunting lived with her, perhaps she could start from Gu Yunting's side. Ji Qingyan hesitated and said, "Gu Yunting, can you stay outside for today? I will reimburse you for the accommodation fees."
Gu Yunting did not understand.
"It's like this. My sister called me today and said that she is almost at home. I have to go back, but she still does not know that I sold the house to you..."
"So your sister doesn't know that you're renting the house at my house now?" Gu Yunting thought Lu Qingyan had told her about her family's recent situation, but he didn't expect that it was not like this. Ji Qingyan said shyly, "Yes."
"So if we go back together, this matter probably cannot be hidden anymore. I cannot let her know that I have already sold Grandma's house." Lu Qingyan blinked her big, lovely eyes and showed a pitiful expression. "I beg you, can you help me once?"
It was not that Gu Yunting could not go out to live, but he thought that there must be obvious traces of life in the house. Lu Qingyan's sister could not possibly not suspect anything.
If she asked, how would Lu Qingyan cover up this lie?
Gu Yunting thought for a while and said, "How about this. Just follow what we told grandpa and tell your sister that we are already together."
"But my sister still doesn't know that I have broken up with Gu Xianzong. Wouldn't it be a little too sudden to tell her?" Lu Qingyan was still a little worried.
"Gu Xianzong and I are cousins. It is normal for you to know me through him. You can definitely hide it from him."
Gu Yunting then said, "Before long, Grandpa will definitely arrange our marriage. Your sister will know about this sooner or later. Why don't you tell her now so that she can have a psychological buffer."
"It seems that this is the only way."
When they returned home, they saw Lu Chenxing who had been waiting for a long time. Ji Qingyan was the first to open the car door and welcomed them, "Elder sister!"
Seeing her younger sister whom she had not seen for a long time, Lu Chenxing was very excited, "Qingyan, have you been well recently?"
She noticed that Lu Qingyan did not drive the car by herself but got out of someone else's car. At this time, the owner of the car also walked out and stood beside Lu Qingyan.
Lu Chenxing asked Lu Qingyan, "Qingyan, let me introduce you. This is?" Ji Qingyan held Gu Yunting's arm and introduced, "Sister, this is my boyfriend. His name is Gu Yunting. We are living together now."
Gu Yunting smiled and nodded, "Hello, sister."
"His surname is also Gu? Where's your boyfriend, Gu Xianzong?"
When it came to Gu Xianzong, Lu Qingyan was extremely angry. "That scumbag Gu Xianzong is no longer my boyfriend. Does he deserve it? Pah."
Gu Yunting suddenly said, "Alright, Qingyan, your boyfriend is me. You just need to think about me. The others are not worth you being sad about."
Lu Chenxing had been humiliated for no reason. She really had a hard time saying it.
Her sister did not want to go home. As the eldest daughter of the Lu family, she had to shoulder the responsibility of assisting her father in managing the company. She often went to different places to go on business trips. She did not have time to date.
"Alright, alright. Stop showing off your affection. I'm going blind." Lu Chenxing said with a smile.
In her heart, she kept reminding herself that Gu Yunting was only cooperating with her acting. Lu Qingyan was still touched by Gu Yunting's words. Her heart was beating wildly in her chest.
Gu Yunting timely said, "Sister, I'm sorry for making you wait outside for us for so long. Let's go back and chat."
Lu Chenxing had a good impression of the polite Gu Yunting.
The three of them entered the house and after arranging Lu Chenxing's residence, Lu Qingyan went to the kitchen to prepare tea for Lu Chenxing.
Coincidentally Lu Qingyan was busy and Lu Chenxing decided to help her younger sister inspect whether Gu Yunting was qualified to be her boyfriend.
So she called Gu Yunting to stop, "Mr. Gu, if you don't mind, can you talk to me?"
"Of course not." Gu Yunting guessed Lu Chenxing would be curious about his identity. He gently raised his forearm and made an inviting gesture. "Let's go over there and sit and chat."
Lu Chenxing slightly nodded to Gu Yunting, then walked to the sofa and sat down.
"Mr. Gu, how did you and my sister Qingyan get to know each other?"
Regarding this question, Gu Yunting had already gotten along well with Lu Qingyan on the way back. He smiled and said with confidence, "Sister should know Qingyan's ex-boyfriend, Gu Xianzong."
"Yes, I know him." Speaking of Gu Xianzong, Lu Chenxing seemed very angry and her face became gloomy.
Gu Yunting said apologetically, "Gu Xianzong is my cousin."
"What?" Hearing Gu Yunting say this, Lu Chenxing looked at him with a secretive look. This kind of scum's cousin wouldn't have the same moral character as him, right? As the saying goes, if you don't belong to the same family, you don't belong to the same family. Gu Yunting looked like he was serious. Who knew if he was also a scumbag in his bones?
Knowing that Lu Chenxing was afraid of misunderstanding, Gu Yunting said again, "Although Gu Xianzong is my cousin, I am not on good terms with him. I also really like Qingyan. Please rest assured."
"The reason I know Qingyan is also because of Gu Xianzong. Not long after Qingyan and Gu Xianzong broke up, they unexpectedly met Gu Xianzong at a banquet. I was also there at that time. Because the two of them had an argument at the banquet, I helped Qingyan. That was why I knew her." Gu Yunting hid part of the truth and told Lu Chenxing some unimportant things. This was also Lu Qingyan's intention.
"After interacting with Qingyan for a while, I felt that she was really a very good girl, so I confessed to her."
"So that's how it is. We, Qingyan, are indeed very charming. It is not surprising that you are attracted." Knowing that they had gotten to know each other through this method, Lu Chenxing could not help but feel somewhat proud. Her younger sister was so outstanding, so it was natural for her to be sought after by men.
Gu Yunting nodded his head and expressed his agreement with Lu Chenxing's words.
"As you can see, we have been living together since then. We are now living together."
"I do not object to you living together. I believe that you are all adults. You should know what you should do and what you should not do. I will not say anything more."
