Chapter 84: Strange Scars
After examining this circle of people, Lu Yan focused on her aunt Gu Qiong in the upper left. Her facial features are somewhat similar to Gu Qidong, full of heroism, and British blood, her eyes are deep and translucent, her eyes are sharp and majestic, she has short hair that reaches her ears, she is full of elegance, and she looks repulsive thousands of miles away.
However, the most surprising thing for Lu Yan was that she was actually the one who cared about Gu Mingyuan the most among the people here. The two sat facing each other, and she took the initiative to ask him about his business and investment in China, and introduced several lucrative projects to him.
After chatting about this, she glanced at Lu Yan coldly and asked, "Are you serious about her?" β
Gu Mingyuan nodded yes.
She snorted lightly and sneered, "What do you like about her, young and beautiful?" β
Gu Mingyuan put down his chopsticks and said, "I like her from the bottom of my heart." If anyone dares to hurt her at all, I will return it tenfold. β
When Lu Yan heard this, her body shook for no reason, and she was moved.
The others put down their chopsticks with surprised expressions on their faces.
Gu Lin sneered: "What about laughing at you, don't forget that you used to be known as the 'Little Prince of Canada', but now you are embarrassed to pretend to be a man?" β
When Lu Yan heard this, she choked on the food in her mouth and coughed.
Gu Lin continued: "Domestic women are just less knowledgeable and short-sighted, and when they see a rich man, they will lean up, regardless of the other party's character or past. Tsk, decades have passed, and the nature of admiring foreign countries has not changed at all. β
These words not only scolded Lu Yan, but also insinuated and scolded Gu Mingyuan's mother.
Gu Mingyuan's angry muscles burst out, and he picked up the red wine glass and splashed her face directly.
Lu Yan saw it and didn't stop it. At this time, she didn't want to pretend to be virtuous at all, so she was willing to watch Gu Mingyuan teach people who were disrespectful.
Gu Lin slapped the case angrily and said angrily: "This is Canada, not the mainland, have you forgotten how you returned to China in the first place?" Don't think that if your aunt takes pity on you and makes you a little money, you can climb on top of me. β
"Shut up." Gu Qiong glared at Gu Lin fiercely, her momentum was majestic and could not be resisted.
Gu Lin was not convinced, dropped the napkin and left the table angrily.
Anthony chased him out and shouted, "Sister, don't be angry, you have something to say." β
Gu Qidong seemed to be used to seeing it, and ate and drank by himself. Julia smiled apologetically at Lu Yan, but didn't explain anything.
After Gu Lin's trouble, no one dared to talk nonsense anymore, and they ate and drank honestly.
Gu Mingyuan and Lu Yan were still the two who were isolated, and even Anthony, the only one who was willing to talk to them, left.
After the meal, Gu Mingyuan was called into the study by Gu Qidong and Gu Qiong to talk, and Gu Ran pulled Lu Yan to go for a walk in the garden outside. In the cold winter season, this neighborhood is not cold, and the evening breeze brings warmth.
Gu Ran hugged Lu Yan and said gently: "Sister, I like your appearance so much, bright and moving." β
Lu Yan was a little flattered and replied: "I like your appearance instead, beautiful and cute, like LancΓ΄me's new spokesperson." β
"Oh, my little cutie is not popular in European and American countries. Those men like your glamorous looks. But I didn't know that my brother liked this genre too. β
Lu Yan thought of what Gu Lin said at the dinner table, and couldn't help asking, "Was Gu Mingyuan really a playboy before?" β
"Ah, I don't know what to say. anti
Brother Zheng has had many girlfriends, both in Britain, France and the United States, so he has a good foreign language and can speak seven or eight Chinese. β
If it weren't for deep friendship, it would be impossible to learn a foreign language very deeply.
Lu Yan thought of his bad Chinese and asked the teacher to make up for it. There was suddenly an unspeakable jealousy in my heart, as if I was a fool, and I happily fell into his trap without knowing it.
"Sister, I'm not used to speaking Chinese, can I talk to you in English?" Gu Ran asked with a blink of beautiful blue eyes.
Lu Yan nodded, and then communicated with her in fluent English.
She had studied at a culinary academy in Japan, and her classmates were both American and Korean, so she was good at Japanese, Korean, and English. But not French and German.
Gu Ran pulled her from the entertainment industry to talk about fashion shows, the differences between Chinese and foreign aesthetics, and finally about food. I heard that Lu Yan could make Chinese dim sum, so I immediately asked her to meet in the kitchen tomorrow afternoon.
After the two returned to the living room, Gu Mingyuan also came out of the study. When he saw Lu Yan, he pulled her upstairs and didn't let her contact with the Gu family.
entered the bedroom, before Lu Yan could stand firmly, she was hugged by Gu Mingyuan. He involuntarily invaded her lips, and his palms clasped the back of her head, holding her tightly in his arms. He kissed harder than before, and Lu Yan soon felt that her lips were numb and bloody.
After a long time, Gu Mingyuan let go of her, gently pressed against her forehead, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry for making you wronged." β
"It's okay, with you, don't be wronged." Lu Yan stretched out her hands and held Gu Mingyuan's face tightly, her nose against his, and the two breathed each other. "It's a pity that it's not in China, I don't dare to be too presumptuous, otherwise I'll help you fight back."
Gu Mingyuan smiled, "No, I'll leave all of this to me." β
"I think your aunt is nice to you, but she just seems to be difficult to get along with. Julia and her daughter are also very cultured and do not pick on domestic and foreign. β
"The wisest decision my father ever made in his life was to marry Julia, and she was the kindest and most childlike stepmother I have ever met. I am grateful to her. β
"And your aunt, especially to help you speak and defend you." Lu Yan reiterated this view.
However, for Gu Qiong, Gu Mingyuan was reluctant to say more, as if he was deliberately avoiding something.
After taking a shower at night, Gu Mingyuan quickly fell asleep. Usually when he was in China, he would hug Lu Yan and kiss her for a while, touch her for a while, and only close her eyes after she was asleep.
Lu Yan felt strange and guessed that he was suffering from jet lag, and he was tired from dealing with the elders tonight.
In the middle of the night, Lu Yan was awakened by a strange sound. It's like someone is playing a horror movie in their ears, and the shrill cries of women and children make people uneasy.
Gu Mingyuan slept soundly, not noticing her fear at all.
Lu Yan shrank into his arms and held his hand for comfort.
Outside the window, the pine trees were lush and green, with a branch just across the window. When the wind blows, the branches and leaves sway and dance, how weird it looks.
Lu Yan was scared all night, and finally survived until dawn.
Gu Mingyuan opened his eyes groggily, heard her say the bad things that happened at night, and replied tiredly: "Our window is facing the lake, the view is wide, and there are no trees to obstruct it. Are you having nightmares? β
Lu Yan walked to the balcony and found that there were no trees around, only some low bushes in the garden.
But last night's reflection on the window was definitely not dazzling to her.
What's going on?
"Don't be afraid, this is my room, they don't dare to pretend to scare you."
"Hmm."
After breakfast, Gu Mingyuan was called away by his uncle and brother. Before leaving, he told Lu Yan to stay at home, not to go out with other sisters, and to call him if there was something.
Lu Yan nodded in response, and became more and more strange in her heart, how did Gu Mingyuan, who was still at odds with his relatives yesterday, suddenly become obedient? And he's been acting weird since he got up in the morning. is very polite to her, not intimate at all, and does not take the initiative to communicate with her, his eyes are wooden and tired, as if he is a different person.
After a while, Gu Ran came back from outside, holding fresh roses in his hand, and pulled Lu Yan to drink coffee and bask in the sun with a smile. The two sat in the garden for a while, and Gu Ran remembered to taste Lu Yan's Chinese dim sum. So the two moved to the small kitchen, Lu Yan taught Gu Ran hand in hand, tossed for an afternoon, and finally baked a decent purple sweet potato taro crisp and ancient cake.
"Wow, it tastes so good, it smells so good. My brother is blessed to be with you. β
Lu Yan smiled and pretended to ask casually, "Do you know where Mingyuan went?" β
"You really can't be separated for a moment. Don't worry, my brother and other cousins are out on business, and I will accompany you to relieve your boredom. β
Lu Yan smiled perfunctorily, always feeling that something was wrong.
Soon it was time for dinner, but Gu Mingyuan didn't come back, and he didn't call Lu Yan.
Lu Yan called him, only to find that the phone was turned off.
Anthony came back and explained: "My cousin drank too much at the winery in the afternoon, they will find someone to send him back, Sister Yan, don't worry." β
"What are you doing at the winery?" Lu Yan asked.
"The winery is our own business, and every year new wines are launched. Our brother's middle cousin is the most appreciative, so I asked him to try it. β
"You said he drank too much, I wonder how much you poured him?"
"It's a lot, a bottle of red wine, and a lot of white wine."
Lu Yan nodded on her face, but she was even more puzzled in her heart. If it's just for wine tasting, you can take her out with you. And Gu Mingyuan's amount of wine is definitely not something that can be poured with a bottle of red wine, and he was dizzy all afternoon.
Something is wrong, something is wrong everywhere.
At dinner, she didn't eat a single bite under the pretext that she was not feeling well. When he returned to the room, he desperately called Gu Mingyuan, but it was always turned off. It wasn't until about nine o'clock in the evening that Gu Mingyuan was sent back to the room by Anthony and the others.
It is true that he is drunk, and he doesn't know who is drunk.
Lu Yan sent away unrelated people and others, and went to the bathroom to pick up a basin of hot water for Gu Mingyuan to wipe.
After taking off his coat and shirt, Gu Mingyuan's sturdy upper body was exposed. Lu Yan found that his chest was covered with suspicious red marks, not very heavy, but dense, as if he had been whipped by something. Turning to the back, the scar is heavier than the chest. There were nail marks, tooth marks, and a few faint blood stains.
What the hell is going on? Who hurt Gu Mingyuan?
Lu Yan told herself to be calm, and took off Gu Mingyuan's pants with trembling hands. Except for the redness and swelling of the knee, there were no obvious scars elsewhere.
Wait, the panties are not off, do you want to check them?
After hesitating for a while, Lu Yan blushed and stripped off Gu Mingyuan's clothes. Fortunately, there was no injury in his privacy.
No, wait, what is the red mark at the base of the thigh?
Lu Yan took her mobile phone and took a closer look and found that it was a kiss mark.
Her head buzzed and she collapsed on the carpet. 2k reading web
