Yue Lan listened to Gu Zhiqi’s perfunctory tone, her mouth twitching slightly. She had many doubts in her heart, but seeing Gu Zhiqi’s attitude, she gave up on asking any further questions.
As soon as Yue Lan spoke up, Gu Yuluo paid attention to her. After hearing her words, he leaned closer to Gu Zhiqi’s ear and asked softly, "Did you kill someone?"
Gu Zhiqi glanced sideways and looked at Gu Yuluo, "What? Are you going to call the police to catch me?"
"Do I look like that kind of person?" Gu Yuluo stared at Gu Zhiqi with a pair of clear, innocent eyes, her gaze tinged with a hint of accusation.
"Who knows," Gu Zhiqi muttered under her breath.
Although it seemed that Gu Yuluo bore no malice towards her at the moment, Gu Zhiqi could tell that Gu Yuluo’s attitude towards her was very strange.
At first meeting, it was obvious that Gu Yuluo was very displeased with her.
Afterwards, when she learned of her amnesia, there was all manner of testing.
Up to now, she still hadn’t completely figured out what exactly Gu Yuluo was testing for. It just seemed that after each test, her attitude towards Gu Zhiqi would warm up a bit.
Gu Zhiqi could only guess for the time being that Gu Yuluo was testing to see if she was still the same troublemaker as before.
Gu Zhiqi’s muttering was heard by Gu Yuluo, whose eyes brimmed with even greater reproach as she gave Gu Zhiqi a mournful look for several seconds.
However, Gu Zhiqi didn’t pay any attention to her, keeping her head down and focusing on her phone.
Seeing this, the sadness in Gu Yuluo’s eyes deepened, and after a long while, she sighed melodramatically, "Ah~ I was going to offer to help you dispose of the body, but it seems that won’t be necessary now."
At those words, Gu Zhiqi looked up at him, "Indeed, it’s not necessary."
How can it not be necessary?
Which damn person stole my job?
Aunt Tang thought that after what Gu Chengcheng had just gone through, he would be scared, and she wanted to comfort him. But when she picked him up, she found that Gu Chengcheng wasn’t scared at all. In fact, he happily told her about the candy and DIY model Gu Zhiqi had bought for him.
As he talked, he remembered that he couldn’t start assembling the model until he had counted the candy, so he ran off to count it.
Aunt Tang put him down only to notice the person sitting beside Gu Zhiqi, "Xiao Qi, did you bring a friend home?"
Gu Zhiqi was staring at her phone screen with a complex expression. Hearing Aunt Tang’s question, she replied subconsciously, "Oh, I don’t know them."
Glancing sideways, she looked at Gu Zhiqi, only to see her busy typing a message.
With a forlorn gaze, she watched Gu Zhiqi for a few seconds, and seeing no reaction, she reluctantly got up herself, nodded lightly to Aunt Tang, and spoke with poised courtesy, "Aunt Tang, hello, I am Qiqi and Xiao Yue’s elder sister."
After hearing Gu Yuluo’s introduction, Aunt Tang was slightly taken aback for a few seconds before nodding gently, "Hello."
With a smile tugging at her lips, Gu Yuluo continued to speak to Aunt Tang, "I apologize for the sudden visit. I was wondering if I could stay at your place for a few days. School is starting in a few days, and it would be perfect for me to take the little girl back with me for school."
As soon as Gu Yuluo finished speaking, several pairs of eyes fell on her.
Even Gu Zhiqi lifted her eyelids and lazily glanced at Gu Yuluo.
What a joke. Just taking care of a pet took up most of her retirement time, and now they wanted her to go back to school?
Gu Yuluo pretended not to see Gu Zhiqi’s gaze, her lips still holding a polite, gentle smile as she continued to look at Aunt Tang.
"It’s fine for you to stay for a while, but Mr. Gu said..." Aunt Tang started to say but suddenly stopped, her lips curving into a similar polite smile, "Miss Gu, please feel free to stay. Whether you leave or not is entirely up to Xiao Qi’s wishes."
