Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Intentional? Unintentional? _1
She has never seen such coldness in a person, such iciness...
As if it came from hell, yet seemed not to belong to this world.
The man was very handsome, but with a hint of wild ruggedness.
His profound facial features were distinguished and chiseled.
His tall and straight figure seemed to contain a kind of powerful force, dangerous, yet fascinating, his intimidating height, coupled with those defiant eyes, were exactly the type that all the girls are currently chasing after: the perfect bad boy.
Looking, looking, suddenly she remembered the lively and passionate scene from before.
Her face turned red, unconsciously...
"Qianqian, what are you doing standing there? Come down!"
Her mother's voice brought her back to her senses, Gu Qianqian replied loudly, "Yes, I'll be right down..."
After acknowledging, she turned her head.
There was no one on the second floor.
"Qianqian, come down quickly!"
"Okay!" Her mother was calling her again. Without hesitation, Gu Qianqian hurriedly went downstairs, clutching the dress in her hands.
——————
Through the gap of the half-opened door, he could clearly see the slender, transcendently beautiful silhouette.
Standing there, Lu Zhanbei was as silent as a shadow...
Bumping into this girl twice in one day.
Intentional? Or just a coincidence?
His phoenix eyes lightly lowered, settling once again indifferently on the familiar figure.
Lu Shenglin, his sister.
The year his sister was banished from their home, he was only ten. Now, nineteen years have passed. His sister has returned, but with her came a little creature as sweet and lovely as she used to be.
Intentional? Coincidence?
Heh! This household, always such a mess!
No point in looking anymore. He turned around, lightly closed the door to his room, without care, without questions...
——————————
The sound of closing the door on the second floor was very faint, but Gu Qianqian heard it.
Her footsteps hesitated, subconsciously turning her head to look back...
Was it the man?
Who is he? Why does he always pop up unexpectedly?
Just as she was guessing the identity of the man, her mother suddenly appeared next to her like a ghost: "What are you looking at? Hurry up and come with me to the room!"
"Okay!"
Back in their room, Gu Qianqian placed the dress in her hand on the bed, then carefully folded each piece neatly.
Not more, not less, just nineteen sets.
"Why did you bring back so many?"
With just one glance, Lu Shenglin looked surprised, but Gu Qianqian simply replied, "They're discarded. It would be a waste to leave them there, so she 'awarded' them all to me."
The word 'awarded' immediately earned her a tap on the head from her mother: "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense, that's what she told me in person."
Hearing this, Lu Shenglin's face slightly changed, but in the end, she only stated, "If she said so, that's one thing, but you... can't repeat that."
Why not?
Gu Qianqian really wanted to ask this question, but she knew that asking would not yield any answers, so, this time, she asked: "Mom, why are you so scared of her?"
"I'm not scared of her. What I'm scared of is..."
"Scared of what?"
Eager for an answer, her mother fell into a long silence. As mother and daughter sat in silence, there was suddenly a short knock at the door: "Ma'am, elder Mrs. Lu wishes to see you!"
Hearing this, Lu Shenglin sighed softly...
To Gu Qianqian, her mother's face seemed to have a hint of fear.
But that expression was fleeting, and her mother quickly opened the door with a courteous expression toward the caller: "Aunt Zhou, I'll be right over."
"Mrs. Lu has requested that Miss Sun accompany you!"
Lu Shenglin's expression stiffened but she still replied with a smile, "Okay, I'll take her with me."
After sending off Aunt Zhou, Lu Shenglin's expression was grim.
Although she didn't know why her mother was like this, Gu Qianqian took the initiative to hold her mother's hand, "Mom, who's this Mrs. Lu? Why does she want to see me?"
"Your grandmother, elder Mrs. Lu!"
Grandmother?
Isn't that her mother's mother?
But no matter how Gu Qianqian tried to find it, there didn't seem to be any hint of joy on her mother's face about seeing her grandmother...
