Chapter 19 You Will Always Be My Sister

As soon as Mrs. Gu said this, there was silence.

Chu Yan quickly explained: "My parents have wanted my sister to come back and live at home many times, but my sister didn't want to live at home. She said that our house is far from Michen Building and it is inconvenient for work. Living at her house is closer to work..."

Mrs. Gu said, "Then you said that she lives in the village over at Ruo Lake. Wouldn't it be even more inconvenient for her to go to Michen Building?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Mrs. Gu, thanks to Mr. Gu, I have a house in Riverview No. 1. But I'm pregnant now. The scenery and air over there are nice and quiet. I grew up by the lake and have feelings for it. It would be better if I could have a baby there."

Mrs. Gu said, "The air over there is good. I've been there to play golf a few times. I heard that Ruohu is going to develop a high-end tourist area with several resort villas. I'll buy one of them to live in when the time comes. I can also take Xiaochen's children to the lake to fly kites and fish on weekends.

Alas, you are pregnant, and my Xiaochen doesn’t even have a girlfriend. I don’t know when I can have my grandson. Please help your aunt persuade Xiaochen.”

Chu Yan hurriedly said: "Aunt Gu, Hanchen and Xiaoxiao..."

Mrs. Gu glanced at Gu Jiujin complainingly, "Times are different now. Arranged marriages are the way of the older generation. Xiaoxiao is such a good child. I dare not let my Xiaochen delay her."

Yu Xiaoxiao had a very unhappy expression on her face at the table nearby. She glared at Chu Yan. Her engagement with Gu Hanchen was agreed by Gu Hanchen's grandmother, and Mrs. Gu had always had an ambiguous attitude.

Mrs. Gu said that Gu Hanchen didn't have a girlfriend, but Chu Yan mentioned her again. Yu Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed when she was rejected by Mrs. Gu in person.

Yu Xiaoxiao has always upheld the principle of sharing shame together: "Chu Yan, are you interested? Didn't you know that Yuan Xi has a house in Riverview No. 1 a long time ago? Or was it you who told me that it might be the house that Gu Hanchen bought for Yuan Xi? Why is it that he is pretending to let her live in Shiyi Hotel now?"

Chu Yan's face flushed red, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Sister, I'm not pretending, I'm really worried about your safety. I thought you rented the house in Riverview No. 1, and the rent has expired. I'm really worried that it's not safe for you to drive on the way back..."

Chu Yan cried anxiously and turned to the other table: "Oh, I'm not good at talking, brother, Bo Fan...can you help me explain it?"

Chu Lin frowned.

Bo Fan looked at Chu Yan who was crying, and just when he was about to speak, he heard Yang Ying speak.

"Yanyan, apologize to Xin'er!"

Chu Yan apologized repeatedly, "Sister, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that you and your brother-in-law live in the village, but believe me, I was really worried that something might happen to you on your way back to the village, and I didn't mean to look down on the countryside.

After all, I know that Jiangcheng CBD was also a rural area fifteen years ago, and I never felt inferior to being in the countryside..."

Yuan Xi was very depressed. Wasn’t this what she said to Chu Yan?
Chu Yanxian said so righteously that he didn't think there was anything inferior about rural areas. Wasn't he just trying to say that Yuan Xi cared about and felt inferior about rural areas?

Not to mention that Huo Shiyan is not from the countryside near Ruo Lake. Even if he is true, Yuan Xi will not feel inferior, because her friend's family used to be from the village near Ruo Lake.

Huxi Village on the lakeside carried her carefree childhood and her best memories.

Yuan Xi felt that he could no longer maintain his good temper in front of Chu Yan.

But because it was someone else's wedding and there were so many important people present, Yuan Xi could only endure it.

Chu Yan and Yu Xiaoxiao could have ignored their reputation, but she came here today on behalf of Mi Chen, and Gu Hanchen had already left without saying goodbye, so she had to ignore Mi Chen's face and quarrel with Chu Yan.

Yuan Xi: "It's best if Miss Chu thinks so. Old Master, Old Madam, Mr. Si, Mrs. Si, we are leaving first."

After Yuan Xi left, Chu Lin frowned and said to Chu Yan: "You shouldn't be so talkative."

"Brother, is it because your biological sister is back that you think everything I do is wrong?"

Chu Yan burst into tears and said, "I'm just really worried about my sister. I've been your sister for twenty-five years. Don't you trust me so much?"

Chu Lin said, "Don't cry. It's not good to cry at someone's wedding. I know you just speak your mind, but Yuan Xi just came back. Even if you are really worried about her, you shouldn't mention the rural house to Mrs. Gu."

Chu Yan sniffed and said, "I know I was wrong."

Chu Lin touched Chu Yan's head and said, "Don't cry, don't worry, you will always be my sister."

Chu Yan wiped away her tears and smiled at Chu Lin. …

Huo Shiyan did not leave the hotel with Yuan Xi, but got into the elevator.

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan and said, "Aren't you going back to the mansion?"

Huo Shiyan said: "I'm afraid Chu Yan's bad mouth will come true, so let's stay in a hotel today."

Chu Yan had mentioned more than once that the road was dangerous and unsafe. Although Huo Shiyan was not superstitious, he also felt that it was unlucky.

Arrived at Shiyi’s duplex suite on the top floor.

Memories from a month ago came flooding back, and Yuan Xi felt his cheeks slightly hot.

After entering the bedroom, Yuan Xi saw the clothes he had changed out of a month ago neatly placed at the head of the bed.

Yuan Xi was originally worried about having nothing to wear tomorrow, but now she doesn’t have to worry about it anymore.

"I'll take a shower first."

Yuan Xi went into the bathroom with a red face.

In the bathroom, she looked at herself in the mirror, kept cooling her cheeks with cold water, and reminded herself not to be nervous.

After taking a shower, Yuan Xi realized that she didn't bring pajamas and there was only a bathrobe in the bathroom.

Seeing that Huo Shiyan came here without booking a room, it was obvious that this was not an ordinary hotel suite, but one specially for Huo Shiyan. The only bathrobe should also be Huo Shiyan's.

After Yuan Xi put on the bathrobe, it was very loose. Even though she was 170 cm tall, it already reached her ankles.

After leaving the bathroom, Huo Shiyan chuckled and looked at Yuan Xi who was wrapped in his bathrobe: "Sit down, I'll help you blow dry your hair."

Huo Shiyan took the hair dryer beside him and blew Yuan Xi's long hair.

Yuan Xi's originally nervous mood suddenly relaxed. Maybe it was because having her hair blown was too comfortable, she fell asleep on the chair.

Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi's peaceful sleeping posture, put down the hair dryer, picked her up and placed her on the bed, then reached out and gently stroked her belly.

……

Chu Yan and Bo Fan saw Chu Qing and Yang Ying off and got into a Rolls-Royce.

After Bo Fan got in the car, he looked up and asked the driver to stop.

Chu Yan asked, "What's wrong?"

Bo Fan said: "The lights are on on the second top floor of Shiyi Hotel."

"The light is on? What's going on?"

Bo Fan said: "The second top floor of Jiangcheng Shiyi Hotel has always been reserved for the Huo family. It seems that because Huo Shiyan's mother is from Jiangcheng, the second top floor has always been for the Huo family to stay in Jiangcheng. Even if some big shots come to Jiangcheng to stay, the top floor is not open to the public.

Today is Si Chen's wedding, so it is very likely that Huo Shiyan will live on the second top floor."

Chu Yan said: "Then let's go up and pay a visit now?"

Bo Fan said, "I'm afraid you can't get up to the top floor. Just go to the hotel entrance and keep an eye out tomorrow morning."
