Chapter 100 - Gu Zhi’s Elder Brother

However, Li Yi’s next words were like a bucket of cold water pouring over her head.

“Elder Huo’s words, and I quote, were to tell you to ‘scurry back within half an hour’. If he doesn’t see you by then, you’ll have to bear the consequences.”

‘It’s over.’

From what Elder Huo meant, she would definitely be scolded when she returned to the Huo residence.

As expected, after returning to the Huo residence, Elder Huo scolded her fiercely for the entire afternoon.

Not only that, Elder Huo’s words were the same as Huo Chuan’s. He told her that she had to apologize to Yun Qing.

That day, Yun Qing was woken up by Gu Zhi’s phone call.

“Miss Gu, why do you like to call people so early in the morning?”

Yun Qing had not woken up yet. She whispered to Gu Zhi on the phone.

“Today is the anniversary of my brother’s death. Didn’t you say that you would accompany me to visit his grave?”

Gu Zhi’s voice was no longer as lively as it always was.

Yun Qing instantly sobered up a lot. She looked at the date and, sure enough, she almost forgot about what happened today.

“Wait for me for a while. I’ll be right there.”

Yun Qing quickly got up from the bed and tidied up.

Gu Zhi had a biological brother, but their parents divorced early on. Gu Zhi followed her father, and her brother followed her mother and also changed her mother’s surname.

According to Gu Zhi, she had a good relationship with her brother.

However, after she was sent abroad to study, she started to drift away from her brother.

Later, she learned of her brother’s death.

They drove to the cemetery. Gu Zhi and Yun Qing were both wearing black dresses, but the flowers in their arms were bright and eye-catching.

Before she married Huo Chuan, Yun Qing would occasionally accompany Gu Zhi to visit her brother’s grave.

Now that three years had passed, time seemed to have returned to the time before she met Huo Chuan. However, she was no longer the same person as before.

Just as she was thinking about this, two familiar figures appeared in front of them.

They were Huo Chuan and Yun Qing.

“Ah Chang... don’t worry, I’m doing very well now. Ah Chuan has been taking care of me...”

Bai Ting was sobbing as she looked at Chen Chang’s grave. “I’ll take good care of myself, too.”

“Bai Ting?”

Gu Zhi was the first to lose her temper when she saw her. She rushed forward and looked at her with disdain. “What are you doing in front of my brother’s grave? !”

Bai Ting and Huo Chuan were clearly very surprised when they saw Gu Zhi and Yun Qing.

Both of them had heard Chen Chang mention that he had a younger sister before. Chen Chang had even shown them pictures of his younger sister when she was young.

But who knew that this younger sister was actually Gu Zhi?!

A hint of panic flashed across Bai Ting’s eyes. She did not want Yun Qing to know that Huo Chuan was only good to her because she was the girlfriend of his comrade-in-arms.

If Yun Qing knew that she was not the true love in Huo Chuan’s heart, wouldn’t she mock her even more?!

However, before she could think of a way, Huo Chuan already spoke up.

He looked at Yun Qing, who was fiddling with the flowers in her arms, and explained, “Gu Zhi, I’m your brother Chen Chang’s comrade-in-arms.

“Bai Ting is your brother’s girlfriend. Before he died, he asked me to take care of her.”

Although this sentence was an introduction, it sounded like an explanation to Yun Qing.

An explanation about why he was good to Bai Ting.

Huo Chuan looked at Yun Qing expectantly, hoping that she could understand the deeper meaning in his words.

He did not like Bai Ting. He treated her well only because his comrade had entrusted him to her on his deathbed.

He had never betrayed Yun Qing before.

Yun Qing was also slightly stunned when she heard Huo Chuan’s explanation.

So that was the case.

She was still wondering how Bai Ting actually made Huo Chuan fall in love with her?

However, she had actually lost to such a woman. She had lost to this so-called promise.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Bai Ting’s face, and the atmosphere fell into a strange silence.

The first one to break the silence was Gu Zhi.

“She’s his girlfriend?! My brother’s taste is so bad? Could it be that he was deceived by Miss Bai’s trickeries?!”

Bai Ting’s face turned even uglier when she heard Gu Zhi’s words.

She pursed her lips and revealed an aggrieved look. Then, she turned around and ran out in large strides.

Yun Qing looked at her, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly as she followed her.

Huo Chuan saw this and wanted to go forward as well, but was stopped by Gu Zhi.

“Huo Chuan, be truthful to me!”

Gu Zhi was not willing to take his words at face value.
