Chapter 176 : Yan Lui's Scheme

Chu Tian still had the time to look at her clothes, so she changed into her own clothes, ran to the door of the store and looked across.

She saw Gu Nian lowering the brim of her hat and walking into the coffee shop with her head lowered.

Seeing where Yan Lui and Chi Yiheng were sitting, she hurried over with her head lowered and sat down with his back to them.

"Sorry, I couldn't help you. When I found out that Chu Zhaoyang didn't treat Gu Nian the same way, I tried to stop him." Chi Yiheng smiled bitterly, "I even had no choice but to go after Gu Nian directly. At least put her aside first. I can guard against other men here. Unexpectedly, Gu Nian chose Chu Zhaoyang."

"You've tried your best, thank you." Yan Lui sighed, "I blame me for coming back too late. At that time, you sent me the photos of Gu Nian and Chu Zhaoyang's date, and I started to come back. But I didn't expect that... Useless."

Gu Nian's hands were cold. It turned out that Chi Yiheng's appearance was not a coincidence. Yan Lui had arranged it long ago, just to keep a close eye on her and not let her be with other men.

She just didn't expect that Chu Zhaoyang would appear and Chi Yiheng couldn't stop him.

Fortunately, Chu Zhaoyang appeared. Gu Nian was really grateful to God for allowing her to meet Chu Zhaoyang.

Otherwise, she might never understand Yan Lui and always thought that Yan Lui was a cheerful and sunny young man.

If it was the undercover career that changed Yan Lui's personality, then what about letting Chi Yiheng deceive her?

But Yan Lui asked Chi Yiheng for help when he left. At that time, he couldn't have said that his undercover career had changed him, right?

Perhaps, Yan Lui was actually like this, but she didn't know it and had never seen it.

Perhaps Yan Lui only let her see the part he wanted her to see. Even in front of her, he had been pretending and not showing all of himself.

Gu Nian couldn't help but think of Chu Zhaoyang, he was always so sincere and didn't hide anything from her.

Even if there were some bad things, he won't hide them from her.

Even if he was afraid that she would have a bad impression and that he was not who she thought he was, he would not hide it from her.

"Miss, what would you like to drink?" At some point, the waiter stood by the table and put down a drink list for her.

Gu Nian finally came to her senses and stood up immediately. Looking back, she found that Yan Lui and Chi Yiheng had already left, the seat behind them was empty, even the cups, plates and tissues had been taken away, and the table had been wiped clean.

Gu Nian shook her head awkwardly: "Sorry, I don't have anything to order."

After saying that, she walked out.

Back to the store where Chu Tian was, she saw Chu Tian waiting at the door, looking at her worriedly.

Gu Nian was about to go over, but she saw Chu Zhaoyang striding towards her.

He walked in a hurry, even his face had a look of worry, his stern thick eyebrows were tightly knitted, and his aura made people afraid to approach him.

Seeing Gu Nian, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Tian explained: "My brother just called and asked where we were, so I told him that he was worried about you."

When Gu Nian saw Chu Zhaoyang walking over, she thought of the day when she first met him.

Thank God for allowing them to meet.

When she met him, she realized that a man could be so good, how good he was, and that Yan Lui had actually hidden many things from her.

She was really grateful.

At the moment she saw him, her whole body relaxed.

The air that she had held earlier suddenly relaxed, and she was extremely grateful that he was here.

Gu Nian ran over without thinking and threw herself directly into Chu Zhaoyang's arms.

Chu Zhaoyang was startled, and his usually expressionless face showed an expression of surprise, and he caught her firmly.

This girl never liked to be too exposed in crowded places. What's wrong today?

He lowered his head and saw that Gu Nian was hugging his waist tightly, her eyes were red.

Chu Zhaoyang's face darkened and he asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

As he spoke, his eyes were pointed at Chu Tian accusingly.

Chu Tian really felt that she had been wronged, and quickly waved her hands: "I...I didn't bully Nian Nian! She is my sister-in-law, how dare I!"

"No." Gu Nian pulled Chu Zhaoyang, "Don't scare her."

It seemed that it really had nothing to do with Chu Tian. He guessed Chu Tian didn't have the guts.

Chu Zhaoyang's expression softened a little, and he asked softly: "What's going on?"

Chu Tian opened her mouth wide at the side, and her jaw almost dropped in shock.

She really want her parents to see that when Chu Zhaoyang also had such a soft voice to people, the gentleness made her think that there was something that attached Chu Zhaoyang's body.

Looking at him again, when talking to Gu Nian, he talked a lot more than usual!

This...this difference in treatment was too great!

Gu Nian let go of him embarrassedly, but Chu Zhaoyang still held her.

Gu Nian struggled, but Chu Zhaoyang didn't let go. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Just leave after hugging. Isn't it irresponsible?"

Gu Nian: "..."

"I saw Yan Lui and Chi Yiheng just now." Gu Nian whispered.

Chu Zhaoyang's face sank, and Gu Nian said hurriedly: "They didn't see me, it's just... I heard something."

Chu Zhaoyang said no more, quietly waiting for Gu Nian's next words.

"It turned out that Chi Yiheng pursued me before to help Yan Lui keep an eye on me and not let me be with others, so that he could wait for Yan Lui to come back. I guess that if I really agreed to him at that time, when Yan Lui was about he comes back, he should break up with me." Gu Nian smiled mockingly.

"They are too cheap!" Chu Tian heard this and said angrily.

"I just thought, luckily, I met you." Gu Nian smiled with satisfaction and gratitude.

Just because he was so nice, she couldn't see others, so she didn't fall for them.

Chu Zhaoyang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, rubbed Gu Nian's hair, and said in a gentle and gentle voice, "Well, luckily I showed up in time."

The two looked at each other, Chu Zhaoyang stood tall and straight, lowered his head and spoke softly, shining brightly. Gu Nian stood tall, looking so petite and well-behaved in Chu Zhaoyang's arms. When she looked up, she only saw him.

In this noisy shopping mall, the two of them seemed to have only each other, forming a small world of their own that no one could join in or get close to.

People passing by couldn't help but be attracted to this pair.

Unknown to him, Chu Tian next to him looked at Chu Zhaoyang, dumbfounded, and tears flowed out stupidly.

"Brother..." Chu Tian said unconsciously, "You...you laughed, you laughed!"

This sound called the attention of Chu Zhaoyang and Gu Nian back.

Chu Zhaoyang looked at his only sister with a gentle expression. He usually saw her being heartless and jumping around, but unexpectedly, she would cry sometimes.

Gu Nian quickly asked Chu Zhaoyang to let go of her and pulled him in front of Chu Tian.

Gu Nian took out a tissue from his bag and wiped Chu Tian's tears. Chu Zhaoyang also rubbed Chu Tian's hair: "Stop crying."

"Woooooooooo..." Chu Tian grabbed Chu Zhaoyang's sleeve, "I...I'm just happy, I...I don't have any other wishes, I just want you to smile more. Brother, that's great... …Great! You…you look so beautiful when you smile."

Chu Tian was crying so much that Gu Nian hurriedly wiped her tears and said, "Okay, let's work hard to make him smile more, okay?"

"Yeah!" Chu Tian nodded heavily, "To celebrate my brother's facial paralysis, I'll treat you tonight!"

Chu Zhaoyang: "..."

This reason was really strange.

***

When Gu Nian came home at night, Mu Lanshu was unusually not asleep yet, waiting for her.

When Gu Nian was changing shoes at the door, Mu Lanshu came over.

"Yan Lui didn't stay at home much today. He left after dinner." Mu Lanshu said, her words seeming to be accusing her.

Gu Nian changed her slippers, stood up, and heard Mu Lanshu say: "What's going on with you? Even if you say you don't like Yan Lui, do you have to be so cold to him? I really don't understand, what's so bad about Yan Lui?"

"Don't you think it's such an important thing that he suddenly faked his death for the sake of his future, hid it from all his relatives and friends, and disappeared for more than a year? You saw how heartbroken his parents were on the day of the funeral. He was able to even understand their parents' feelings. Regardless, for such a person, aren't you worried that similar things won't happen a second or third time?"

Mu Lanshu opened her mouth, but no words came out.

"Only when you really meet the right person do you realize how bad the previous person was. Today I completely understand this. Mom, in your opinion, Chu Zhaoyang may have shortcomings of one kind or another. But, he never lied to me."

Gu Nian took a deep breath and exhaled heavily: "Mom, I beg you, don't look for Yan Lui or anyone else. I couldn't accept it. Don't use them... to insult Chu Zhaoyang."
