Chapter 811 - 813: Are You My Sister?
CHAPTER 811: CHAPTER 813: ARE YOU MY SISTER?
"Gu Mingcheng?" Xu Nianhua was somewhat surprised to see him. Earlier this year, Gu Mingcheng had sent her a painting. It was very beautiful and you could tell he had a talent for it.
Gu Mingcheng’s eyes sparkled with excitement, saying, "You still remember me."
"Of course, the painting you did for me, I saw it, it was very beautiful. Thank you." Xu Nianhua was speaking truthfully; everyone who had seen the painting said it was very good.
"No, no need to thank me." Gu Mingcheng stood in front of Xu Nianhua, looking a bit uneasy. As if something came to mind, a slight gloom appeared in his eyes. He studied Xu Nianhua; her features were as if drawn, her smile was like the peach blossoms of March, she was the first girl to truly inspire him.
"You..." Gu Mingcheng hesitated, unsure of how to start.
"I."
Gu Mingcheng looked at her, wanting to speak but stopping short.
"What’s wrong?" Xu Nianhua asked.
"Are you my sister?" Gu Mingcheng asked, looking at her.
"What do you think?" Xu Nianhua responded with another question instead of answering, her bright eyes looking at him. Despite being young, Gu Mingcheng showed visible courage when asking; his ears flushed red, his youthful eyes filled with complex emotions, even entangled ones, which she saw clearly.
The whole Gu Family, the only person who treated her well, the only kind-hearted one.
"I heard from my mom and sister that you’re my lost sister." After saying that, it became easier for Gu Mingcheng to continue speaking, explaining clearly how he matched up with Xu Nianhua.
Last year, he was admitted to Ningbei University. With the same name and surname, Gu Mingcheng found it hard to believe it was just a coincidence.
"I think, if there’s no mistake, you should be my real sister." Xu Nianhua shrugged helplessly, wishing instead to be an orphan without parents rather than a daughter of the Gu Family.
"Sister, why didn’t you come home for vacation?" Gu Mingcheng quickly adopted a term of endearment, probably having thought of it for a while.
Xu Nianhua chuckled lightly but didn’t answer.
"Nianhua, who are you chatting with?" Xu Nianji returned after making a delivery and saw Xu Nianhua standing with a young man, curiously asking, assuming he was Xu Nianhua’s classmate.
"Big brother, he is Gu Mingcheng." Xu Nianhua introduced, "This is my big brother, Xu Nianji."
"Hello, big brother. I’m Gu Mingcheng, Xu Nianhua’s brother, her real brother." Gu Mingcheng said obsequiously to Xu Nianji.
Upon hearing the surname ’Gu,’ Xu Nianji’s mood turned sour. Then learning that Gu Mingcheng belonged to that Gu Family, he instinctively shielded Gu Mingcheng behind him, looking at him with a harsh expression, "Who’s your brother, who’s your sister, don’t call them aimlessly. My little sister hasn’t recognized your Gu Family yet!"
"Don’t think just because the Gu Family has money, you can go around bullying people." Thinking of what the Gu Family had done made Xu Nianji almost wish to tear them apart.
Raised in the Gu Family, protected well, achieving good grades, praised by everyone at school, even when attending university in Hangzhou City, praised by his mentors and classmates, Gu Mingcheng had never encountered someone like Xu Nianji, who would scold him with a stern face.
Gu Mingcheng was shocked by the scolding.
"Big brother." Xu Nianhua was startled too, never expecting her straightforward and honest big brother to react so strongly to someone from the Gu Family. She quickly pulled Xu Nianji, saying, "He didn’t bully me."
