"Jinglun, you've come looking for me?" She hugged Zuo Jinglun's arm tightly.
Yu Xi stared at their clasped hands and came to her senses.
Yu Xi had been away from home since her return, and this was the first time Zuo Jinglun had seen her after she came back.
For a moment, he scrutinized her delicate face with surprise,
"Yu Xi, is that really you?" he exclaimed with some delight.
Seeing Zuo Jinglun like this, Yu Tian hurriedly pulled him aside and said, "Yes, it's your first time seeing Yu Xi, isn't it? Help us persuade her. She hasn't stayed at home since she came back, and it's been causing the family to worry every day." She then turned to Yu Xi and said, "Yu Xi, you should come back. It's still too dangerous outside for a girl like you. Mom and Dad are really worried about you. And about the blind date, it's for your own good. Without any qualifications or social experience... The word outside is that you're out partying every day. Mom just wants to secure your future early."
Hearing her sweet talk, Yu Xi's laughter grew even more sarcastic. Glancing at Zuo Jinglun, she said to Yu Tian, "If it's so great, why don't you marry him? Give that forty-year-old man a son and a half, and since he won't live much longer, you'll be the head of their family after he's gone, right?"
Zuo Jinglun's face stiffened upon hearing this.
"Yu Xi, how can you speak to Yu Tian like that?"
Those words were way too harsh.
Yu Xi snorted. They wanted to sell her off, and she wasn't even acting aggrieved, yet there was Yu Tian, looking pitiful with teary eyes, about to cry.
With a pathetic look, Yu Tian clung to Zuo Jinglun's arm, "It's okay, Jinglun. As long as sis is willing to come back, that's all that matters. She's just angry because of the fight with our family. I won't be upset whatever she says."
Yu Xi really couldn't stand it anymore. She snorted and said, "I knew my little sister was the best to me. So let's settle it at that. Whenever you marry him for me, that's when I'll come back."
"You…"
Yu Xi simply rolled her eyes and turned to leave.
Yu Tian wanted to stop her but glanced at Zuo Jinglun and thought better of it, considering there would be more opportunities in the future, so she let it go for now.
Zuo Jinglun looked on with heartfelt pity, gripping Yu Tian's hand, "How can Yu Xi say such unpleasant things?"
Yu Tian bit her lower lip, "Let it go, I think... maybe my sister still blames me. Maybe in her heart, she still has feelings for you..."
Zuo Jinglun's expression changed at those words, "Don't talk nonsense. I've never harbored such thoughts about her. I only love you."
Listening to him, Yu Tian nestled sweetly in his embrace, but when she looked up, she saw a Bugatti Veyron recklessly driving past.
She recognized the license plate at a glance. Wasn't that Gu Linhan's car?
Since they lived close by, everyone in the area knew Gu Linhan's car.
"Wow, a Bugatti. It looks like a limited edition too." Zuo Jinglun also saw it, "So cool, I really want to buy one, but it's a pity I can't get my hands on it."
With sparkling eyes, Yu Tian said, "Really? Is it that impressive? Even money can't buy it?"
"Of course," Zuo Jinglun said, "I heard it's originally priced at sixty million, but you can't buy it. There's only one in the whole country. It really catches the eye when you drive it out."
Yu Tian leaned into his embrace, her heart longing as she gazed in that direction.
Unfortunately, Gu Linhan was out of reach, only to be admired from afar. Ordinary people couldn't get close to him.
