she is sweeter than sugar

"Gu Ci! Do you know that now is the critical time for Zhiran to become a teacher? You are only recorded under the name of Erfang. If you are not like this, Zhiran will lose the opportunity to be a teacher with Master Shen from the imperial capital! Her piano talent is so high, how could it be wasted like this..."

Chu Shixian didn't hear what Gu Ci said clearly at first, and just vented her anger endlessly on her own. When she realized what Gu Ci said, her words seemed to be stuck in her throat. His face was stiff, and he couldn't say a word.

The words "half father and half mother" alone show that Gu Ci knows that she and Gu Zhiran are in the wrong!

At this moment, her mind was buzzing, and her mind was full of questions.

Gu Ci, how did she know about this.

And Gu Zhiran, when Gu Ci said the words "half father and half mother", her face was already pale and her whole body was stiff...

Possibilities ran through her mind, and her heart became a mess.

Chu Shixian couldn't believe it, and finally couldn't help but ask, "How do you know... who told you?"

Gu Zhiran came back to her senses, looked at Gu Ci at a loss, her whole body was on the verge of falling.

She looked at Chu Shixian reluctantly again, tears welled up in her eyes, "It turns out...it turns out that my sister cares about me...sister, I...I'll go now, please don't be angry with mom."

Seeing Gu Zhiran crying, Chu Shixian immediately hugged her distressedly, "My poor Zhiran, mother disagrees! Where are you going? This is your home where you have lived for 18 years. When you go to Where are you going?"

After comforting Gu Zhiran, she suddenly looked at Gu Ci with an extremely angry voice.

"Gu Ci, what do you want? Ever since Zhiran knew that she is not my biological daughter, she has been very sad these days. Is it possible that you have to send Zhiran to that ravine to be reconciled? Why are you so vicious? ? I'll just leave it here today, Zhiran lives at home, if you don't agree, get the hell out!"

Gu Ci shrugged her shoulders, her eyes were indifferent, "I don't disagree. Whether you want to raise her is your own business. I just want to remind you that I have no obligation to pay for her affairs."

Lowering her head, Gu Zhiran's expression became extremely embarrassing.

Gu Ci's tone...as if she is just a dispensable pet, it doesn't matter whether you keep it or not...

She would rather that Gu Ci looked hysterical and wanted to drive her away, rather than what she is now.

Chu Shixian breathed a sigh of relief, as if something was completely pulled away, her heart suddenly became empty.

Suddenly knowing that Gu Ci already knew what they wanted to hide, Chu Shixian didn't have the heart to settle other accounts.

She snorted coldly, "It's good that you understand your duty, and you will learn more from Zhiran in the future, so you don't lose face to the Gu family."

After saying that, Chu Shixian didn't want to stay here any longer, so she took Gu Zhiran to go downstairs.

But at this moment, Gu Ci stopped them, "Where's my room?"

Chu Shixian said impatiently, "You arrived suddenly, how can I have time to prepare a room for you?"

After thinking about it, she said, "You can go to Mrs. Wang's room and sleep overnight, and we will talk about the rest tomorrow."

"Mom, isn't this good?" Gu Zhiran bit her lip and hesitated, "Sister-in-law Wang is old and has arthritis, so she'll catch cold when she sleeps on the floor, why don't you let my sister sleep in the same room as me?"

Hearing that Gu Zhiran thought of herself so much, Aunt Wang's eyes turned red when she was moved.

"How can that be? How can she live with you as a country girl?" Chu Shixian blurted out without thinking.

Immediately, she said lightly to Gu Ci, "Please be considerate of Mrs. Wang, and sleep on the floor today."

Gu Ciran, "Will my sister mind?"

Chu Shixian rolled her eyes, and said indifferently, "What does she care about? Is there any place in the Gu family that is better than her poor place?"

Gu Zhiran pursed her lips and smiled, gaining confidence again, "Then I can only wrong my sister."

At least, mom was always on her side.

If Gu Ci makes trouble, it will only push her mother further and further away.

But if she really rests on the floor of the servant's room today, then the entire Gu family will know what status she has in the Gu family.

After a few words, the two directly settled on Gu Ci's residence tonight.

In fact, there are many rooms in the Gu family, and the Gu family sent a housekeeper to pick up Gu Ci a few days ago. It's just that Chu Shixian has been comforting Gu Zhiran who is crying secretly these days. It never occurred to him to prepare a room for Gu Ci.

Gu Ci chuckled, got up and walked out, eyes full of sarcasm.

Seeing that Gu Ci didn't go downstairs, Gu Zhiran was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a considerate smile, "Sister, Mrs. Wang's room is on the first floor, how about I take you there?"

The first floor and the second floor seem to be only one floor apart, but they are actually separated by the natural moat between the master and the servants.

But what she didn't expect was that Gu Ci walked to the door of her room, opened the door, and walked in.

The smile on Gu Zhiran's face froze slightly.

She followed, begging for mercy, "It's okay if sister wants to live with me..."

Gu Ci refused, "No."

Gu Zhiran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then..."

But she didn't want to, Gu Ci gave her a cold look, interrupted her, and continued, "I don't like living with other people, either, I'll clean up a room right now, or I'll be reluctant to live in this room." .”

As she said that, she casually picked up a crystal night pearl on Gu Zhiran's dressing table, and threw it away again and again.

Gu Zhiran's nails dug into the palm of her hand, lowered her head, and wept secretly.

Chu Shixian's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, "Gu Ci, this is Zhiran's room! Who allowed you to live in a country girl? And it's already night, can't you bear it?"

She looked at Chu Shixian lazily, her deep eyes were piercing, "This is your daughter's room, right? What's wrong with me?" Tilting her head, she looked at Gu Zhiran.

"She is the daughter of Sun Haobin and Liu Hongmei, that country girl, isn't she?"

Sun Haobin and Liu Hongmei, the couple who left Gu Ci, who was still in her infancy, in the village and ignored them.

They were Gu Zhiran's biological parents.

Hearing "country girl" and those two names, Gu Zhiran trembled all over, her face turned pale.

"Mom, it doesn't matter to me. This room will be reserved for my sister. It's almost night, and I can't bear to ask Mrs. Wang to prepare the room again." She smiled reluctantly, which made Chu Shixian feel more distressed.

The daughter that I have carefully cultivated for nearly 20 years was said to be a country girl, and Chu Shixian almost fainted from anger, "Gu Ci! I didn't bring you home to make you angry! Don't know what to do You have to sleep in Mrs. Wang's room today, and you have to sleep in Mrs. Wang's room if you don't!"

"Could it be that I'm here to be angry with you?" Gu Ci expressionlessly let go of the hand that was throwing the crystal night pearl.

With a "bang", Ye Mingzhu fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

It shows that the boss has been in a bad mood since he came back.

If the Gu family simply treats her blood-related daughter as dead and doesn't come to provoke her, then she has no objection.

However, if they insisted on running to her after taking her back home, and putting their faces in front of her to make fun of her, then don't blame her for having a bad temper.

Gu Zhiran's eyes were red, and she choked up and began to cry, "Sister, if you want my room, I'll just give it to you, but why did you break my things? I never wanted to grab anything from you, please don't Can you move my things? These...these are all given to me by my parents..."

That fragile appearance made Gu Ci look like a demon.

As if she had never heard of it, Gu Ci casually picked up a jade bracelet and twirled it between her fingers carelessly.

This jade bracelet is more expensive than the night pearl worth 70 just now!

Chu Shixian pointed at Gu Ci tremblingly, her heart was bleeding, "You...you!" Damn it!evil creature!What she brought back was nothing short of a sinner!

Afraid that Gu Ci would drop the jade bracelet again, Chu Shixian gritted her teeth and told the sister-in-law next to her, "Give her the guest room! I'll clean up the utility room tomorrow and set it up for her!"

The Gu family has a guest room, which is used for overnight guests who may come to the Gu family one day, but now they have no choice but to use it to deal with Gu Ci.

——————————————————————————————

At dinner time, the atmosphere at the dinner table was extremely dull, and a burst of steady footsteps sounded from outside.

Looking in the direction of the voice, a middle-aged man in an expensive suit and immersed in the atmosphere of a shopping mall appeared in front of Gu Ci.

This is Gu Ci's biological father, Gu Changfeng.

His eyes passed on the three of them.

His wife suppressed her anger and her face was full of irritability, while his daughter's eyes were red, and she spoke softly following Chu Shixian's anger.

When he saw him coming, he raised his head and showed a forced smile.

Gu Changfeng frowned, and his eyes fell on the only Gu Ci who seemed to be okay.

He greeted her lightly, "Gu Ci, right? I'm your father. You can call me dad when there are no outsiders."

Just as he was thinking about how to communicate with this daughter and what to do next, Gu Ci suddenly said, "No, you may have misremembered, you are my uncle."

Gu Changfeng frowned, and looked at his wife unexpectedly, "Have you already told her about that?"

After learning that his biological daughter Gu Ci lived in a poor mountain village since he was a child, he has already made a series of plans.

The blood of the Gu family can't be left outside, and he can't bear his own daughter to continue to suffer outside, but at the same time, he will never allow such a stain to appear on him.

Therefore, he told his wife earlier that he would put his biological daughter under the name of the second wife.

The second room has never been very promising, and the family has raised three more ineffective sons. He will give a sum of maintenance money and put his daughter under their names, presumably they will be very happy.

It's just that the wife didn't want her to speak before.

Chu Shixian was depressed, she was silent for a while and then said, "She also knows Zhiran's identity."

Hearing this, Gu Changfeng was a little surprised.

Looking at Gu Ci who seemed to be fine, his eyes flickered, "In this case, Gu Ci, I don't care what village you were in before, but now that you have returned to Gu's house, I will take good care of you... aunt and aunt." Sister gets along."

This was a tacit consent to what she called them.

At the end, I added, "Don't make trouble at home."

Gu Ci smiled casually, but her eyes, which were as deep as a secluded pool, seemed to be frozen thousands of feet.

Gu Changfeng only felt that this daughter was inexplicably unpleasant.

However, Gu Ci still has merit.

Looking at her beautiful face, his eyes flickered, and he said, "You are also in the third year of high school, right? I will take you to the new school tomorrow and go through the admission procedures."

"I found you the best high school No. [-] in Songdu. You should seize this opportunity and don't waste it."

Hearing the word "one in two", Gu Ci paused, and took back the "no need" that hadn't been said yet.

Gu Zhiran sat on the side with her head down, she didn't tell her about Gu Ci's grades that the housekeeper told her.

——————————————————————————————

The next day, Gu Changfeng took Gu Ci to No. [-] Middle School.

The dean of No. [-] Middle School is half acquainted with him, and he is willing to sell his face.

When they arrived at the office, Gu Changfeng greeted the dean politely, and the atmosphere between the two could be regarded as pleasant.

At this time, the dean followed the procedure and asked a question.

Gu Ci's eyelids moved, and she began to think about whether she had taken any exams since elementary school...

Gu Changfeng didn't know what Gu Ci was thinking, so he handed the report card he had prepared to the dean.

The teaching director took it with a smile, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared when he opened the report card and saw the neat zero marks on the report card.

Taking a deep breath, the dean put down the report card in his hand, his face became serious, "Sorry, Mr. Gu, we can't accept your niece."

Gu Changfeng frowned, his heart skipped a beat.

His eyes flicked to the report card, and suddenly he saw several pages full of big red "0", which almost blinded him!

The housekeeper mentioned to him that Gu Ci's grades were not very good, but he was busy at the time so he didn't care, and he didn't read this report card.

But I didn't expect that this bad grade turned out to be this bad!

Being looked at by the dean with a strange look, Gu Changfeng felt ashamed.

Gu Zhiran's grades have always been among the best in No. [-] Middle School, he has never been so humiliated!

"My niece grew up in the countryside and didn't receive much education. Her parents asked me to find a school for her, but I didn't expect..."

His face was full of pain, and he vividly played the role of an uninformed person.

"It's okay. After all, if someone deliberately conceals it, Mr. Gu can't help it," the dean gave Gu Changfeng an understanding look, and when facing Gu Ci, he became a little more contemptuous.

He said sharply, "You still have to study hard at a young age. Don't take shortcuts all day long and rely on relatives for everything. Sooner or later, this society will teach you how to be a man!"

Gu Ci lowered his eyes and said nothing, but Gu Changfeng was more and more grateful for the decision he made.

The dean sent Gu Changfeng out, and happened to run into the principal who was passing by.

Gu Changfeng immediately went up to say hello eagerly, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Principal Ji. I'm Gu Changfeng. We met at a charity party earlier."

Although there was no impression in his mind, the headmaster nodded politely.

It's just that his eyes fell on Gu Ci who was walking behind Gu Changfeng and the two of them.

He couldn't help muttering in his heart, and even wondered if he had misjudged the person.

Just when the principal was unsure, Gu Ci raised his head, "I come to No. [-] Middle School to teach."
