The Rebirth of an Orphan
Chapter 98 These are your dowry
So Zhao Xihua did not dare to delay and called Pingshui and Chunfeng to come and help her.
In fact, the two girls are in a bit of a dilemma now. Gu Lun is their sister's brother-in-law, and the place where they live now is also his territory. When he comes back in the middle of the night, he goes straight to the young lady's room, and they can't stop him.
The two of them could only wait outside the door of the room and dare not make a sound. After all, the young lady had not officially married into the Gu family yet, and it was not appropriate for the two of them to stay in the same room.
However, the two of them stayed up all night and did not find that the brother-in-law did anything out of line with the young lady. Only in the middle of the night the young lady had a nightmare and cried softly and fell into the arms of the brother-in-law. The brother-in-law was very patient and obeyed the young lady and slept all night holding his arms.
Zhao Xihua picked out a sky blue suit, casually tied her hair into a simple low ponytail, and wore a white magnolia hairpin, making her look otherworldly.
When she walked out of the bedroom, Gu Lun, who was standing in the yard waiting for her, heard the footsteps and turned to look at Zhao Xihua, a little stunned.
The bright sunshine sprinkled on the beautiful person, making her peerless face more gorgeous. Gu Lun couldn't help but walk to Zhao Xi's painting and looked at her steadily, as if he could see nothing else except Zhao Xi's painting.
Zhao Xihua couldn't stand Gu Lun's gaze, which was overbearing and unconcealed, and he wanted to take in everything about her.
Her earlobes felt a little hot: "Gu Lun, where are we going? Can you tell me?" Zhao Xihua looked at the tall man in front of her.
Gu Lun did not answer, but just put the plush coat on his arm over Zhao Xihua, then pulled up the hood of the coat, and carefully tucked the loose hair around her ears behind Zhao Xihua's ears.
Zhao Xihua felt her whole body a little stiff. She just stared blankly at Gu Lun's hands as he was fixing her hair. These were hands that had experienced countless life-and-death struggles, and now they were helping her with some trivial things.
She never dreamed that this person could have such a gentle side?
After helping her tidy up her clothes and hair, Gu Lun smiled faintly and said, "Just follow me, and you will know when the time comes."
Looking at Gu Lun's mysterious look, Zhao Xihua nodded. She was a person who could keep calm. Since she had followed Gu Lun to Kyoto, she would follow him even if it meant going through mountains of swords and seas of fire.
Gu Lun took her in a humble car and headed straight to Wenshan Street, the busiest street in Kyoto. Along the way, Zhao Xihua looked out the window at the high-rise buildings, the traffic coming and going, the fashionable boys and girls, and the wealthy businessmen parading through the streets...
The prosperous scene seemed beyond description in words. Even Zhao Xihua, who had long been calm, found it particularly lively.
Gu Lun turned his head to look at Zhao Xihua who was standing beside him with a curious look on his face, and finally saw an unusual lively look on this usually stiff and rigid face.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, his face was filled with joy, and he said to the driver in front: "Go around the moat again."
Zhao Xihua listened and thought to herself, is he going to take her to visit the prosperous scenery of Kyoto?
She withdrew her gaze and looked at Gu Lun who was looking straight at her, but Gu Lun did not look at her. He just said softly: "After the two of us have dealt with the things we need to deal with and everything is settled, I will take you around the world. This small Kyoto scenery is really nothing."
Little Kyoto? This man is starting to get cocky again.
She turned her face away and smiled: "I hope that day will come."
Gu Lun smiled slightly. He could hear the sarcasm and ridicule in the girl's words, but he was really tired of the intrigues in Kyoto City sometimes. If there really came such a day, he really hoped to be accompanied by a beautiful woman in the world, singing and walking.
The car circled the moat boulevard as Gu Lun instructed, and finally stopped by the river. Gu Lun helped Zhao Xihua out of the car, stood by the river and waited for a while, then saw a two-story cruise ship gradually approaching on the river.
Soon the cruise ship stopped at the shore. The cruise ship was decorated exquisitely and gorgeously. Zhao Xihua had never seen it before in Yuncheng. The people on the cruise ship were all dressed in uniform. When they saw Gu Lun, they all bowed respectfully.
"Let's go," Gu Lun raised his hand and held Zhao Xihua's hand tightly, and fell onto the sampan extending from the cruise ship. Zhao Xihua subconsciously wanted to break free from Gu Lun's hand, but Gu Lun held it so tightly that it hurt her a little.
So he obediently followed Gu Lun onto the cruise ship and came to a room on the second floor on the north side.
When Zhao Xihua walked into the room, she was stunned. She didn't expect the space inside to be so large. It was even larger than the small courtyard she lived in in Yuncheng before.
The decoration inside is extremely gorgeous and exquisite. The chandelier hanging on the ceiling is magnificent, and there are fist-sized luminous pearls inlaid around the room, which are also used for lighting.
The curtains were all hung with beaded curtains, strung with priceless South China pearls.
I remember that in the previous life, when Zhao Chishu got married, the third wife also prepared twelve South Pearls, which was the rarest dowry for women in Yuncheng when they got married.
I didn't expect that in Gu Lun's place, such a precious thing was casually used to make curtains? Looking at the overly gorgeous room in front of her, did Gu Lun bring her here just to show off his wealth?
This man already had wealth that rivaled a country before he took over the Gu family. Could he have a deeper background?
Thinking of this, Zhao Xihua felt conflicted. On the one hand, she was happy because if Gu Lun had a strong background, he could help her find out the secrets of her parents and master. Otherwise, she might not have the ability or opportunity to do so.
But on the other hand, she was also worried that if she and Gu Lun became too entangled, it would be difficult for her to get out of the situation unscathed.
Zhao Xihua smiled bitterly to herself. She couldn't think so much now and could only take things one step at a time.
"Come here~" Gu Lun led Zhao Xihua to the large square table in the middle of the room. There was a large wooden box on the table, which was locked. There were also three leather suitcases neatly placed next to the table.
Zhao Xihua sat on the chair and turned her head to look at Gu Lun beside her. She didn't know what he meant. She didn't ask and just waited for Gu Lun to give her an explanation.
Unexpectedly, Gu Lun took out an exquisite key from his arms and placed it in front of Zhao Xihua. "Open it yourself." Gu Lun said with a smile.
Zhao Xihua didn't think too much and picked up the key to open the smallest box on the table. The box was filled with large cash checks and many documents and contracts related to real estate and shops.
"This is..." Zhao Xihua didn't know what Gu Lun meant?
Gu Lun smiled and said, "In three days you will marry into the Gu family and become my young mistress. You can't let anyone look down on you as my woman. These are your dowry. With these things, you can walk around freely in the Gu family."
