Chapter 45: Sister-in-Law

Lan Yu Rou tentatively picked up her wine glass and sat beside Gu Yan Zhi. At first, there was some distance between them.

She slowly and tentatively moved closer to Gu Yan Zhi, until there was only a few centimeters between them.

Gu Yan Zhi saw her actions, his handsome brow furrowed, his eyes darkened, clearly displeased.

Ruan Yu was still consumed by jealousy and didn’t notice Lan Yu Rou’s actions.

In the dim light, Lan Yu Rou became bolder, step by step, testing the waters. First, she sat beside Gu Yan Zhi obediently, then she used her body to touch him intentionally.

As a man, how could he not know Lan Yu Rou’s teasing?

His sharp gaze was like a knife, making Lan Yu Rou’s spine instantly go cold. She dared not do anything further.

But Lan Yu Rou still sat there, only slightly pulling away from Gu Yan Zhi.

Gu Yan Zhi’s thin lips parted, “Ji Sheng, come sit here.”

Ji Sheng hesitated for a moment, put down her snacks, and walked over to sit between Gu Yan Zhi and Lan Yu Rou.

Only then did the displeasure on Gu Yan Zhi’s face dissipate.

This man was so blatant, doing this in front of her.

Ruan Yu was so angry that she almost swore. Swearing in front of so many people would make her look uncultured, like a shrew. She held it in, waiting to see how she would deal with him when she got home.

Ji Sheng was sandwiched between Lan Yu Rou and Gu Yan Zhi. Lan Yu Rou could only sit there obediently, her gaze occasionally fixed on Ji Sheng with hatred.

In terms of figure, in terms of charm, how was Ji Sheng better than her?

Ji Sheng’s sweetness, besides her sweet and cute appearance, how could it compare to her mature and charming self? Shouldn’t men all like her type?

Ruan Yu looked at Ji Sheng’s innocent appearance. She definitely didn’t know Gu Yan Zhi’s thoughts, so it must have been Gu Yan Zhi who made the first move.

Gu Yan Zhi was such a scumbag, he didn’t even spare a newly graduated girl.

Ruan Yu was really getting angrier and angrier.

Mu Luoxi was a little restrained at first because Lu Jingzhou was there. Later, because of the numbing effect of alcohol, she started to let loose, returning to her usual carefree and cheerful self. The more she played, the happier she became.

Lu Jingzhou’s gaze stayed on Mu Luoxi the whole time.

Until Mu Luoxi was drunk and unsteady on her feet, Lu Jingzhou went over to support her, looking at her with worry, “Don’t drink anymore.”

Mu Luoxi shook off Lu Jingzhou’s hand, “Get away, let me play a little longer.”

Lu Jingzhou was helpless, he could only let her play.

After the gathering, Gu Yan Zhi asked Yang Feng to drive them back.

Lu Jingzhou hadn’t been drinking, so he drove Mu Luoxi home.

After Lu Jingzhou and Mu Luoxi left, Yang Feng’s car had already arrived at the door of the KTV. Lan Yu Rou, Yu Ge, and Zhang Ge got in the car. Ji Sheng was about to get in the car when Gu Yan Zhi called her over and asked Yang Feng to send them back.

Yang Feng started the car. Lan Yu Rou, through the car window, looked at Ji Sheng, she was jealous to the point of madness.

Gu Yan Zhi asked Ji Sheng, “Where do you live?”

“Hotel.”

“Come live at my house.” Gu Yan Zhi said.

Ruan Yu: “…”

She couldn’t take it anymore, she shook off Gu Yan Zhi’s hand that was around her and walked away.

She didn’t want to be a light bulb anymore. Gu Yan Zhi looked at Ruan Yu’s back. He had noticed that she was acting strange since they were at the KTV. A smile curved his lips, he looked at Ji Sheng, who was standing there in a daze, and said, “What are you standing there for? Don’t you want to explain to your sister-in-law? Do you want your brother to be single?”

“Huh?” Ji Sheng was confused, then she realized, her sister-in-law had misunderstood.

Ruan Yu: “…”

She hadn’t walked a few steps when she heard Gu Yan Zhi’s words. She turned around in disbelief. At this time, Ji Sheng and Gu Yan Zhi had already walked over.

Ji Sheng looked at Ruan Yu with a hint of apology, “Ruan Yu Jie, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. Actually, he’s my brother.”

Ruan Yu was completely dumbfounded. Who could tell her what was going on?

Gu Yan Zhi reached out and tapped Ji Sheng’s head, “Little girl, why are you still calling her Jie? Call her sister-in-law.”

Ji Sheng quickly changed her address, “Sister-in-law.”

Ruan Yu’s gaze shifted between the two of them, “What’s going on?”

How could Gu Yan Zhi’s sister be working as a waitress?

She knew that Gu Yan Zhi’s maternal grandparents lived in Yun City, so shouldn’t Ji Sheng, as his sister, also live in Yun City?

Ji Sheng explained the ins and outs of the situation to Ruan Yu. Ruan Yu understood what was going on.

Ji Sheng was the daughter of Gu Yan Zhi’s mother’s sister.

It turned out that she had been jealous of Gu Yan Zhi’s sister all night. If people knew, wouldn’t she be embarrassed?

At the Gu residence, the three of them sat on the sofa, staring at each other. Gu Yan Zhi received a call from his aunt.

She originally wanted Gu Yan Zhi to help find Ji Sheng. She was a girl, she was out of money, and she was worried about her safety.

She felt relieved after learning that she was with Gu Yan Zhi.

Gu Yan Zhi hung up the phone. Ji Sheng pouted, she knew that it was her family who had called. But she wouldn’t go back until her engagement was canceled, “Brother, I don’t care, I’m not going back.”

Gu Yan Zhi chuckled, “I didn’t say you had to go back. Why don’t you stay at the Gu residence for now, and go back to the old house to see your aunt when you have time.”

Seeing that he wasn’t asking her to go back, Ji Sheng smiled, “Okay, brother.”

Ruan Yu asked Zhang Ma to tidy up a room. She looked at Ji Sheng, “Have fun here for a few days, you don’t have to go to the shop.”

Ji Sheng had accidentally ended up working at Time Imprint. She had run away from home because she didn’t want to get married, and she was out of money, so she wanted to find a job. Now that they knew her identity, she couldn’t still be a waitress, could she?

“How can that be?” Ji Sheng waved her hand, “The service industry is my major, and it’s a job I like. Sister-in-law, let me stay at the shop.”

In the end, Ruan Yu was persuaded by her and agreed.

Ji Sheng originally wanted to go to her aunt’s house in Nancheng and stay for a while, but she was afraid that her aunt would send her back, so she found a job outside.

But she didn’t expect to accidentally bump into Gu Yan Zhi.

Was this the legendary fate?

Ruan Yu returned to her room. Gu Yan Zhi looked at her with a meaningful smile, “Jealous?”

Gu Yan Zhi didn’t say anything, but as soon as he did, Ruan Yu was even angrier. This man had kept it from her, he was enjoying watching her eat his sister’s醋 (vinegar, a metaphor for jealousy). “Gu Yan Zhi, get out.”

Gu Yan Zhi looked at the little thing who was fuming, he reached out and rubbed her hair, “Getting out is not an option, but rolling in the sheets is.”

“Shameless.” Ruan Yu was furious, she kicked Gu Yan Zhi.

Gu Yan Zhi grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. He picked her up and threw her onto the soft bed, he leaned over, his pleasant voice sounded in her ear, “You’ve been eating vinegar all night, so I’ll punish you by exercising with you.”

Ruan Yu: “…”

How shameless could this man be to say such a thing so naturally.
