After examining the group of people, Lu Yan focused on the aunt Gu Qiong on the upper left.Her facial features are somewhat similar to Gu Qidong's, she is full of heroism, and has British blood, her eyes are deep and bright, sharp and majestic, she has short hair that reaches her ears, her whole body is elegant, and she looks like she is repelling people thousands of miles away.

But what surprised Lu Yan the most was that she was the one who cared about Gu Mingyuan the most among the people present.The two sat face to face, and she took the initiative to ask him about his domestic business and investment, and introduced him to several lucrative projects.

After talking about this, she gave Lu Yan a cold look and asked, "Are you serious about her?"

Gu Mingyuan nodded yes.

She snorted softly and said with a sneer: "What do you like about her, young and beautiful?"

Gu Mingyuan put down his chopsticks, and said seriously: "I like her from the bottom of my heart. If anyone dares to hurt her even the slightest bit, I will return it tenfold."

When Lu Yan heard this sentence, her body trembled for no reason, she was moved.

The others put down their chopsticks with surprised expressions on their faces.

Gu Lin sneered: "Are you joking? Don't forget that you used to be known as the 'Little Prince of Canada', but now you have the nerve to pretend to be a man?"

When Lu Yan heard this, she choked on the food in her mouth and coughed.

Gu Lin continued: "Women in China just have little knowledge and short-sightedness. When they see a rich man, they lean on them, regardless of his character or past. Tsk, decades have passed, and the nature of xenophilia is gone. Change."

These words not only scolded Lu Yan, but also insinuated Gu Mingyuan's mother.

Gu Mingyuan's veins bulged out of anger, and he picked up the red wine glass and splashed it all over her face.

Lu Yan saw it and didn't stop her.At this time, she didn't want to pretend to be virtuous at all, and she was happy to watch Gu Mingyuan teach those who spoke badly.

Gu Lin shot up angrily, and said angrily: "This is Canada, not the mainland. Have you forgotten how you came back to China in despair? Don't think that your aunt pity you and let you earn a little money, so you can climb on my head."

"Shut up." Gu Qiong gave Gu Lin a hard look, with a majestic aura that could not be resisted.

Unconvinced, Gu Lin dropped the napkin and left the table angrily.

Anthony chased it out and shouted, "Sister, don't be angry, just speak up if you have something to say."

Gu Qidong, as if he was used to it, just ate and drank by himself. Julia smiled apologetically at Lu Yan, but didn't explain anything.

After Gu Lin made such a fuss, no one dared to talk nonsense anymore, and they ate and drank honestly.

Gu Mingyuan and Lu Yan were still isolated, and even Anthony, who was 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 took Lu Yan to the garden outside for a walk to digest food.In the cold winter, this neighborhood is not cold, and the evening wind brings warmth.

Gu Ran held Lu Yan's arm familiarly, and said gently: "Sister, I really like your appearance, it's bright and moving."

Lu Yan was a little flattered, and replied: "Instead, I like your appearance, which is beautiful and lovely, like the new spokesperson of Lancôme."

"Oh, a cutie like me is not popular in European and American countries. Those men just like your coquettish and flamboyant appearance. But I didn't know that my brother also liked this type."

Thinking of what Gu Lin said at the dinner table, Lu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Was Gu Mingyuan really a playboy before?"

"Ah, I don't know how to evaluate it. Anyway, my brother has had many girlfriends, including Britain, France and the United States, so he is very good at foreign languages ​​and can speak seven or eight languages."

If you don't have a deep friendship, it is impossible to learn a foreign language very deeply.

Lu Yan thought of his poor Chinese and asked the teacher for tutoring.Suddenly there was a trace of unspeakable jealousy in my heart, like a fool who happily fell into his trap without knowing it.

"Sister, I'm not used to speaking Chinese, can I speak English to you?" Gu Ran asked with blinking beautiful blue eyes.

Lu Yan nodded, and then communicated with her in fluent English.

She had studied in a culinary school in Japan before, and her classmates included Americans and Koreans, so she is good at Japanese, Korean and English.But not French and German.

Gu Ran dragged her to chat from the entertainment industry to fashion shows, the differences in aesthetics between China and foreign countries, and finally to food.Hearing that Lu Yan can make Chinese dim sum, I immediately asked her to meet in the small kitchen tomorrow afternoon.

After the two returned to the living room, Gu Mingyuan also came out from the study.When he saw Lu Yan, he dragged her upstairs and prevented her from contacting the Gu family.

After entering the bedroom, before Lu Yan could stand still, she was hugged by Gu Mingyuan.He invaded her lips involuntarily, and clasped the back of her head tightly with his palms, making her tightly embedded in his arms.He kissed harder than before, and Lu Yan soon felt her lips numb and smell of blood.

It took a long time before Gu Mingyuan let go of her, gently pressed her forehead, and said guiltily, "I'm sorry for making you wronged."

"Fortunately, with you here, I don't feel wronged." Lu Yan stretched out her hands, holding Gu Mingyuan's face tightly, her nose against his nose, and the two breathed and heard each other. "It's a pity that I'm not in China. I don't dare to be too presumptuous, otherwise I will help you fight back."

Gu Mingyuan smiled, "No, leave these to me."

"I think your aunt is very kind to you, but she seems difficult to get along with. Julia and her daughter are also very educated, and they don't criticize domestic and foreign countries."

"My father made the wisest decision in his life to marry Julia. She is the kindest and most considerate stepmother I have ever met. I am very grateful to her."

"And your aunt, especially to help you speak and defend you." Lu Yan reiterated this point.

But for Gu Qiong, Gu Mingyuan was unwilling 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 and kiss Lu Yan for a while, and then close his eyes after she fell asleep.

Lu Yan felt strange, and guessed that he was jet-lagged, and was exhausted from dealing with the elders tonight.

In the middle of the night, Lu Yan was awakened by a strange sound.It was as if someone was playing a horror movie in my ears, and the shrill cries of women and children made people uneasy.

Gu Mingyuan was in a deep sleep, not aware of her fear at all.

Lu Yan shrank into his arms, and held his hand for comfort.

The pine tree outside the window is lush and green, and a branch is just across the window.When the wind blows, the branches and leaves sway and dance, which is weird no matter how you look at it.

Lu Yan was afraid all night, and finally made it to dawn.

Gu Mingyuan opened his eyes drowsily, and heard her talk about the bad things that happened at night, and replied wearily: "Our window is facing the lake, with a wide view and no trees to block it. Are you having a nightmare?"

Lu Yan walked to the balcony and found that there were no trees around, only some low bushes in the garden.

But the reflection lingering on the window last night is definitely not her dazzled.

what is the problem?

"Don't be afraid, this is my room, they dare not pretend to scare you."

"Ah."

After breakfast, Gu Mingyuan was called away by his uncle and brother.Before leaving, she told Lu Yan to stay at home, not to go out with other sisters, and to call him if necessary.

Lu Yan nodded in response, feeling more and more surprised that Gu Mingyuan, who was at odds with his relatives yesterday, suddenly became obedient?And he's been acting weird since he woke up in the morning.He was very polite to her, not intimate at all, and did not take the initiative to communicate with her, his eyes were dull and tired, as if he was a different person.

After a while, Gu Ran came back from the outside, holding fresh roses in her hands, and smiled and pulled Lu Yan to drink coffee and bask in the sun.The two sat in the garden for a while, and Gu Ran remembered that he wanted to taste Lu Yan's Chinese dim sum.So the two moved to the small kitchen, Lu Yan taught Gu Ran hand in hand, and after a whole afternoon of tossing, they finally baked a decent purple potato and taro cake and an old-fashioned cake.

"Wow, it tastes so good and fragrant. My brother is lucky to be with you."

Lu Yan smiled, and asked casually, "Do you know where Ming Yuan went?"

"You really can't be separated for a moment. Don't worry, my brother and other cousins ​​are out to do business, and I will accompany you to relieve boredom."

Lu Yan smiled perfunctorily, always feeling that something was wrong.

Soon it was time for dinner, but Gu Mingyuan didn't come back, nor did he call Lu Yan.

Lu Yan called him but found that the phone was turned off.

Anthony came back and explained: "Cousin drank too much in the winery in the afternoon, they will find someone to take him back, sister Yan, don't worry."

"What are you doing at the winery?" Lu Yan asked.

"The winery is our own property, and new wines are released every year. Among our brothers, my cousin has the highest tasting ability, so I invite him to taste it."

"You said he drank too much. I wonder how much you drank him?"

"There are quite 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 wine tasting, you can take her out with you.Moreover, Gu Mingyuan's drinking capacity is definitely not something that can be downed with a bottle of red wine, and he fainted all afternoon.

Something is wrong, everything is wrong.

She excused herself from being unwell for dinner, so she didn't eat a bite.When I got back to the room, I tried to call Gu Mingyuan, but the phone was always turned off.It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that Gu Mingyuan was sent back to the room by Anthony and others.

It is true that he smells of alcohol, and the drunk person does not know.

Lu Yan sent away irrelevant people 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 densely packed, as if he had been beaten by something.Turned over to the back, the scar was heavier than the chest.There are fingernail marks, tooth marks, and a few faint bloodstains.

what is going on?Who hurt Gu Mingyuan?
Lu Yan told herself to calm down, then took off Gu Mingyuan's pants with trembling hands.Apart from the redness and swelling of the knee, there were no obvious scars elsewhere.

Wait, the underwear is still on, do you want to check it?
After hesitating for a while, Lu Yan blushed and took off Gu Mingyuan's clothes.Fortunately, his privacy is not hurt.

No, wait, what's that red mark on the base of my thigh?
Lu Yan took a closer look with her mobile phone and found that it was a hickey mark.

There was a humming sound in her head, and she collapsed on the carpet.
