Chapter 341-350

Chapter 341: Left With Her Older Brother


Using a rather simple comparison, between shooting a person who stood there stationary versus shooting a person who kept running around, which one would be easier to hit?


Even a dimwit knew the answer.


The crux was, the abilities of some shooters were distinguished by their every movement.


Even if one did well with a stationary target, they could still fail terribly with a moving target.


A hundred-meters target was already the limit for most people, much less a two-hundred-meters moving target.


Even training at an outdoor shooting range was easier than training with a moving target.


This was because it was easier to shoot a person than a target!


If you were asked to shoot a person who was running straight in the eye, it would be a difficult thing to do.


The two-hundred-meters moving target was such a concept. The dot at its center was even smaller than a person's eyes.


The only consoling thing about it? A moving target's speed has its pattern.


However, the pattern would change after each shot.


That is, for every shot, the speed would change once.


The pattern only existed while shooting the current target. For the next shot, the speed would have changed again.


The moving targets in the military schools were getting more and more perverse.


Although Lu Yibin only asked that Gu Qingjiu hit a two-hundred-meters moving target and not that she had to hit it with every single shot she fired...


Gu Qingjiu still couldn't figure out what the trick was.


She merely nodded calmly as Lu Yibin told her the goal to work towards.


The current Gu Qingjiu had just entered the Shooting Department, and she wasn't quite clear yet about how difficult a moving target was.


The moving target was the nightmare of many students.


Nearly no one wished to attempt a two-hundred-meters moving target.


Because even if one practiced many times, it didn't have much relevance during actual combat.


In actual combat, one was only required to just hit the enemy and not necessarily hit a specific spot.


What Gu Qingjiu was unaware of was that the moving target in a military school was entirely different from the moving target in the army.


She merely thought that the moving target was—as its name implied—a target that moved. After one deduced the pattern and took proper aim at the target, practice would make perfect.


What wishful thinking!


"That's all for the fifth level for now. I'll bring you to other places for you to familiarize the Shooting Department."


Now that she had gone through her test and given her goal...


Lu Yibin prepared to bring Gu Qingjiu elsewhere to take a look.


After familiarizing Gu Qingjiu with the training venues in this building, he also told her some basic places.


Levels two to nine were training venues, whereas levels 10 and 11 were designated levels for the higher-ups, and students weren't authorized to enter.


After she had gained an understanding of those places, it was time for dinner.


Gu Qingjiu wanted to go back to the specialization building to eat. Since Lu Yibin knew that she still had to complete her learning tasks assigned by the Chief Management Department, he asked her to go to the Shooting Department for practice outside of lessons from next week onwards.


After all, in a military school, one spent their time either at lessons or training. There was a very minimal time where one remained idle.


Gu Qingjiu naturally obliged.


Once she returned to the hostel, Gu Qian and Chu Lian were already back.


Upon seeing Gu Qingjiu, Gu Qian instantly greeted her. "By the way, Qingjiu, Qi Xiaoran left with her older brother and won't be coming back to school for the time being. She asked me to inform you about this."


"Left with her older brother?"


Gu Qingjiu froze.


Qi Xiaoran got injured today and the school doctor told her to rest and not take part in the training. However, Gu Qingjiu hadn't expected that Qi Xiaoran would just leave with her brother like that.


"Just now?"


Chapter 342: Acquire it For You to Play, How's That?


"Right. Seems like her older brother asked her to leave."


Gu Qian felt puzzled about that. When Qi Xiaoran came back to retrieve her stuff she happened to be around.


If Qi Xiaoran hadn't wanted to pass a message on to Gu Qingjiu, she might not have spoken to Qi Xiaoran until then.


Upon hearing this, that pair of dark eyes surfaced in Gu Qingjiu's mind.


Although Qi Yefan was handsome, he seemed to look at others—except for Qi Xiaoran—with a cold gaze.


If the Chief Instructor was considered cold, Qi Yefan was cold with a hint of sinister.


If it were someone timid, they would probably be scared if he stared at them.


Although she felt that Qi Xiaoran and her older brother seemed kind of odd, she didn't wish to ask around about someone else's matters for now.


She had her own matters to busy herself with.


Hence, she simply nodded and said, "Got it, thanks."


"No need to stand in a ceremony." Gu Qian waved a hand. "It's just passing on a message."


As she spoke, she raised a brow and asked, "But Qingjiu, she merely caught a fever, why can't she take part in the training?"


Could a fever be that serious?


This was Qi Xiaoran's matter. She merely knew that Qi Xiaoran got injured. If she spoke carelessly, it might lead to more trouble if it caused nasty speculations and were spread out.


Hence, she pursed her lips and shook her head with a smile. "I'm not so sure. When I saw her running a fever this morning, I sent her to the infirmary. But I left because I had some matters to attend to afterward. By the time I came back, she was already asleep. I didn't get to ask her anything."


The school doctor would never tell the other students about such matters.


There were some students in the military school with secrets, to begin with, so it wasn't uncommon to see someone with an injury like this.


"Oh."


Gu Qian understood that Gu Qingjiu didn't look like the sort of person who poked her nose into someone else's affairs.


After nodding her head dazedly, she stopped asking about this matter.


Seeing that she had stopped asking, Gu Qingjiu prepared to go to the canteen to eat.


They served a rich variety of food in the university canteens, so life in the troops wasn't too bad.


Holding her student card, Gu Qingjiu scanned her card for a bowl of beef noodles.


It was late at night, and looking at the wide variety of food before her, she had no idea what she should eat.


After slurping down her noodles, Gu Qingjiu returned to the hostel.


Gu Qingjiu still remembered the incident about the Yu family during the day, so when she got back she sat on her bed and looked up some information on her laptop.


There were indeed some traces of the Li family's sickly son getting into a car accident.


The reason was that the arranged marriage between the Yu family and the Li family was considered a scandal involving two prominent families in North City. Hence, it wasn't surprising that there were some gossipy people who were in the know. They exposed this matter just so that they could wait to see a good show.


News such as: Two prominent families in a certain city in trouble. The Yu family is facing bankruptcy and the two elders of the Li family suffering heart attacks upon learning their beloved son had passed away.


However, as most netizens didn't quite understand the matter between the Yu family and the Li family, they naturally didn't pay much attention to it. When this Weibo was uploaded, only a few netizens left comments below.


And even then, they were meaningless ad-like comments.


This uploader...


Gu Qingjiu looked at the username of the uploader and saw that it was a random string of alphabets. One look and it was obvious to see that it was randomly chosen.


There wasn't any meaning to it.


It was an unknown account, yet it exposed the Yu family and the Li family's matte3?


She was engrossed in her speculations, when suddenly she received a text message from the Chief Instructor on her phone, the contents of which made Gu Qingjiu widen her eyes in disbelief.


—The Yu family, I'll acquire it for you to play with, how's that?


Chapter 343: You're Asking Me to Be a Social Butterfly?


Acquire?


Gu Qingjiu suffered quite a great shock from this line.


She knew that the Chief Instructor was generous, but she hadn't expected him to be this generous!


Because from what Gu Qingjiu knew, the Yu family business was quite expansive and difficult to deal with.


However, He Niancheng had so casually said 'acquire.'


It was as though he could control the fate of the corporation without having to spare much effort.


However, Gu Qingjiu couldn't fathom how he could do it.


The Yu family that she had deemed difficult to deal with was only an organism as insignificant as an ant in He Niancheng's eyes.


Gu Qingjiu didn't know how to reply to that.


It would give her immense pleasure to see the Yu family destroyed—to acquire the Yu family. But then, she didn't have the capability.


She merely started dating He Niancheng for a few days and to be receiving such a huge gift from him so casually truly spooked her. She was afraid that if there were some accidental changes between her and He Niancheng in the future, she wouldn't be able to repay him.


Although she had confessed her feelings in the spur of the moment, sometimes when she calmed down and thought about it, she would still think about that remote future.


How far would her relationship with the Chief Instructor go?


She merely kept telling herself to 'live in the present moment.' However, the problem facing her at that moment was so real.


She had to face it sooner or later.


The contents of this text message made Gu Qingjiu feel extremely touched, but she couldn't quite accept this.


If she rejected his help, it would seem like she was letting the Chief Instructor down.


However reluctant, she had to type out word by word.


—Chief Instructor, I don't wish to reject your kind intentions, but I hope to be able to deal with the Yu family with my own means.


She didn't receive a reply for a long time, even until the lights were turned off.


She fell asleep feeling baffled.


However, she didn't know that He Niancheng fell into deep thought after reading her reply.


In the brightly-lit school building, He Niancheng's lit office was easily ignored.


Next to He Niancheng, Huo Yingcheng was ranting incessantly about the situation of the influences in the capital.


"Major-General, Ye Henyu, that brat has been pampered to the skies by his family since young, and he doesn't know the ways of the world at all. After you rejected him, he's been keeping it inside, but he dares not mess with you. He's just asking you to go for a gathering..."


He had already mentioned this irrelevant person to him several times. A hint of impatience appeared in He Niancheng's deep eyes. "Just speak your mind."


"Heh heh, Major-general, I won't stand on ceremony then." Huo Yingcheng rubbed his hands together and seemed kind of embarrassed—a rare expression on him. "It's like this. As you know, some of my family members are businessmen. My uncle has set his sights on China. My uncle wanted me to find a chance to help him find partners here in the capital, now that I'm here.


"My uncle intends for me to set up a company. But I need to find someone influential to help me on the surface. Investor, you get it right? Ye Henyu, this kid has been pampered to the skies by his family and is looking to set up a company too. Moreover, he belongs to the type who is silly and has a lot of money. If I manage to build up a good relationship with him, the investment would be taken care of.


"I was just looking for someone, and he sent himself to me. He knows nothing and is only fooling around with the backing of his family's connections. But he has the capital!"


Huo Yingcheng spoke in such an agitated manner that his spit nearly came flying out. At a point, he even slapped his thigh vigorously, as though he had considered the scale of his company.


Upon hearing this, He Niancheng's brows furrowed, and his gaze turned unfriendly. "So, you're asking me to be a social butterfly?"


Chapter 344: Damn!


"Cough, cough. Of course, I'm not asking you to be a social butterfly!"


Huo Yingcheng let out a dry cough, before hurriedly bringing a glass of water to He Niancheng. He then shifted a chair and sat down next to He Niancheng as he explained things to him.


"Major-General, with your identity, Ye Henyu doesn't dare to offend you. As your brother, I'm merely looking to settle Ye Henyu through you. As for the others..."


Before Huo Yingcheng could finish his words, He Niancheng straightened his body and coldly said to him, "It's not that it can't be done."


"So you're fine with that?"


Although Huo Yingcheng was very excited to hear that He Niancheng consented to it, he was a little taken aback to receive a positive reply since it was all so sudden. "You consent to it?"


"You can find time for us to meet. Didn't you say he's looking to set up a company?"


He Niancheng paused and the corners of his lips curled slightly, revealing a smile that made others shiver a little. "I have already prepared one."


"What are you talking about?"


Huo Yingcheng didn't get what he was saying.


"I wanted to help Qingjiu acquire the Yu family, but she didn't consent to it. So I decided to do it the other way round."


Huo Yingcheng revealed an enlightened expression. "So you're doing this for Qingjiu..."


After he had finished speaking, his expression changed to a pained one. "Major-General, I couldn't tell you're such a person. You value your girlfriend over your friend! I only wanted you to have a meal with someone and you refused. Now, for Qingjiu, you're even willing to acquire a company."


"Another word from you and I'll call this off."


It was a threat said in a snarl and it made Huo Yingcheng's expression turn solemn instantly. "Major-General, you mean to say you want Ye Henyu to invest in the Yu family?"


After all, he had interacted with the Major-General for so many years, so he knew the latter very well.


The instant He Niancheng said that he understood his intention right away.


He stroked his chin and nodded. "I know about the Yu family's situation."


If it weren't for Qingjiu, Huo Yingcheng wouldn't have paid attention to such an insignificant company as the Yu family's corporation.


"The Yu family is facing a crisis right now. After the Li family's son passed away, the Li family withdrew all their support to the Yu family. It's not impossible for Ye Henyu to help them, but the Yu family's company has too small a scale, I'm afraid Ye Henyu won't deign to invest in them!"


Look, the Yu family which looked high-and-mighty was deemed unworthy in the eyes of these people.


What would Gu Qingjiu think if she comes to know of this?


"I can talk to him personally regarding this matter."


He Niancheng got to his feet. At the thought of Gu Qingjiu's face, he suddenly felt like he was in a good mood.


"If she wishes to deal with them herself, I'll let her do it herself. But right now the Yu family is too weak, I'll make it a little more challenging for her. In the future when she acquires it, she would have more capital to enter the Helian family."


Huo Yingcheng's jaw dropped upon hearing this.


With a finger pointing at He Niancheng, he looked like his eyeballs were about to pop out. "Major-General, y-y-you... you really think that far ahead?"


"Are you for real?"


He Niancheng's expression darkened. "Is there a need for me to fake it?"


Huo Yingcheng was speechless.


He was shocked out of his wits.


If he were to tell the old master about this, the latter's heart might just leap out of his chest.


He Niancheng, however, didn't care about what Huo Yingcheng felt about this. He picked up his phone from the table. He calmly said, "I'm knocking off from work. If you wish to continue sitting here, by all means...


"Arrange the matter quickly. I'm only free to meet him this week."


With that, he walked out of the office.


It was only after he left did Huo Yingcheng slowly let out the word he had been keeping in his heart.


"Damn!"


Chapter 345: Ass is so Perky, One Look and You Can Tell it Has an Excellent Touch


After Gu Qingjiu woke up in the morning, she began to study right away.


In the next week, she was going to wake up at six in the morning like Gu Qian and the rest, and she wouldn't have any idle time to train.


Then again, Gu Qian and the rest still had time to rest at night. Unlike them, Gu Qingjiu had to report at the shooting department at night.


She couldn't neglect her shooting training.


With the university knowledge she had obtained through self-learning in her previous lifetime, she already had some existing knowledge of computer science.


Hence, she didn't feel much pressure on learning new knowledge. As there weren't a lot of classes, she managed to catch up during the week.


In terms of learning, she was pretty average. If she put hard work into learning, she would do very well.


But not exceptionally well.


But she had an enviable talent in shooting.


The weekend was coming and Gu Qingjiu could finally relax a little.


She continued to shamelessly seek He Niancheng and obtain the permit to leave the school using this backdoor method.


She planned to find her older brother again.


Gu Qingmo told Gu Qingjiu that his girlfriend was free this weekend and that if she managed to come out, they would get to meet.


Gu Qingjiu had long been looking forward to meeting this girlfriend of his that he had been praising to the skies. Of course, she had to go meet her.


Gu Qingjiu received permission to go out on Saturday, so she arranged to meet with her brother at noon.


The reason she didn't arrange to meet him at night was that He Niancheng said he was going to bring her somewhere.


He had told her briefly about it over the phone, and he had asked her to wait at the school entrance for Huo Yingcheng to pick her up.


At seven in the morning, Gu Qingjiu got up and started choosing her outfit.


It was rare for her to be putting so much care into choosing her outfit for she was usually rather casual about it.


Gu Qian and Chu Lian were still deep in slumber in their beds. But then, since they were used to waking up at five in the morning for their usual training, they still didn't manage to get enough sleep even though it was a weekend.


Seeing Gu Qingjiu choosing her outfit and preparing to go out, Gu Qian looked envious. "Qingjiu, you're heading out of the school? So blissful!"


Regarding the matter of going out of the school, Gu Qingjiu told her roommates a lie, something she didn't usually do.


She told them her parents had called the school and asked for her to occasionally go out and meet her older brother, and that the school's leader had given his consent.


As Gu Qian and Chu Lian were the only child in their family, they naturally wouldn't be able to use this excuse.


Hence why they were so envious.


"Yeah, I'm going out to meet my older brother's girlfriend today. I don't know how to choose a more formal outfit."


It was rare for her to ask Gu Qian and Chu Lian to give their opinions. Gu Qian glanced at the denim jacket Gu Qingjiu was holding, then narrowed her eyes and gazed out the window. "The sun is out so early today. I saw the weather forecast yesterday as well, it's estimated that the weather will be 27-28 degree Celsius. You'd better wear clothes of thinner fabrics."


"If you're meeting your older brother's girlfriend, you should wear something casual leaning towards formal."


Gu Qingjiu nodded and returned her denim jacket into her wardrobe. "Alright."


She took out another casual knitted checkered cream-colored jacket and this time Gu Qian nodded her head.


Because this was an all-girls hostel, Gu Qingjiu didn't mind changing clothes in the room; in any case, she did wear undergarments underneath.


As Gu Qian looked at her, she suddenly let out a sigh. "Eh, Qingjiu, your figure is really good..."


Then she suddenly gestured two circles with her hands in an ambiguous manner.


"Very sizeable."


Gu Qingjiu blushed. "Don't you have them?"


"She's flat!"


An arrow shot out of nowhere and pierced right through Gu Qian's heart.


Chu Lian sized up Gu Qingjiu with her sleepy half-opened eyes. "Unlike you, your ass is so perky, one look and you can tell it has an excellent touch."


Both Gu Qian and Gu Qingjiu were rendered speechless.


Chapter 346: There's Definitely Something Wrong With Major-General!


If the first statement made Gu Qian feel humiliated, the second caused Gu Qingjiu and Gu Qian to shiver involuntarily.


Gu Qian looked at Chu Lian in shock. "This person, we haven't known you for long, who would've thought that you swing that way..."


"Stop dreaming. I like men. Even if I liked women, I wouldn't like someone as flat as you."


Chu Lian yawned and turned over to continue sleeping.


Gu Qian's face was red in embarrassment. She climbed onto Chu Lian's bed. "I'll strangle you to death!!"


Gu Qingjiu couldn't help but smile and shake her head at their antics.


But she still couldn't help glancing down at her body.


It was flat. The long time she spent training has formed abs which could vaguely be seen on her abdomen.


It had a stark difference compared to the round tummy she had before.


But her figure wasn't always that bad.


She just didn't show it that much before.


Now that she had relatively slimmed down, every part of her looked great.


Everyone felt ecstatic as they looked at Gu Qingjiu, and she was not an exception to that.


Although she wasn't narcissistic, she was happy that she had a good figure!


After she had done dressing up, she left the room with a small purse with her cell phone inside.


There was still half an hour until the time she agreed to meet the Chief Instructor. Gu Qingjiu rode the public bike with ease to the school's entrance.


On some days, there were other students who were allowed out as well. Hence, it wasn't strange for Gu Qingjiu to be able to go out.


Even though they said to meet at the school's entrance, Gu Qingjiu was afraid that others would see her and the Chief Instructor together. And so, she sneaked down to the underground carpark.


And while doing so, she bumped into He Niancheng and Huo Yingcheng, who were there to get the car.


After ensuring that there was no one around, Gu Qingjiu excitedly ran over and softly greeted, "Chief Instructor, Commander Huo."


Huo Yingcheng teased, "You won't even salute now?"


Gu Qingjiu grinned before she stood for a proper salute.


At this point, He Niancheng's eyes darkened as he looked at Gu Qingjiu's abdomen.


Gu Qingjiu startled. "Chief Instructor?"


He Niancheng finally looked at her eyes. "This is too revealing. Go back and change!"


Gu Qingjiu was speechless.


Huo Yingcheng was speechless.


Was there something wrong with this person's head?!


Gu Qingjiu was wearing high waisted black jeans. Although her shirt was the kind which would reveal a bit of her waist, it wasn't too obvious.


The jeans were enough to cover that area so they wouldn't reveal anything as she walks.


But when she saluted earlier on, it revealed that porcelain white skin of hers.


It caused He Niancheng to be slightly unhappy.


Huo Yingcheng wanted to roast him. He didn't even notice that and yet, that was all Major-General was looking at.


Sick pervert!


Seeing Qingjiu baffled to her wits, Huo Yingcheng spoke up for her. "Major-General, it's not that I want to criticize you, but the way she is dressing is very normal and isn't wrong. She's eighteen, so it's okay for her to wear this. Instead, it's you who is always staring at..."


A cold glare landed on him, and he didn't manage to finish his words.


"You're too close to Gu Qingjiu."


Huo Yingcheng was speechless.


A freaking retard!!


Huo Yingcheng stared at He Niancheng in disbelief as he inwardly cursed him.


Did he forget that he was the person who once tried to matchmake him and Gu Qingjiu? Now, he was actually saying that he was too close to Gu Qingjiu??


It wasn't just one thing that was wrong with the Major-General, but there were many wrong things about him.


Huo Yingcheng thought*, 'If the Major-General continued to force him in this manner, he would eventually walk down the path of a traitor.'*


If someone wanted news about this Major-General, he would gladly be the first one to sell him out!


Chapter 347: Meeting Sister-in-law (1)


"It would take too long to go back to change so I won't."


Gu Qingjiu felt that He Niancheng's statement was a little out of nowhere as well.


However, the way she said it was more of a playful whine.


He Niancheng's eyes darkened but the corner of his lips lifted a little.


This scene was blindingly bright for Huo Yingcheng.


He raised his voice as he reminded, "Someone is still single here. Take note of it!"


Gu Qingjiu chuckled at his discomfort.


Between words, He Niancheng had already tugged Gu Qingjiu's elbow towards the car.


"Let's go."


Huo Yingcheng looked at the couple, feeling more agitated than ever.


Inside the car, Huo Yingcheng drove while He Niancheng sat on the front passenger seat.


Gu Qingjiu sat at the back. She tapped on He Niancheng's seat and asked, "Chief Instructor, where are we going?"


"To eat good food."


He Niancheng's answer was brutally simple.


Huo Yingcheng stared straight ahead. Was Ye Henyu just a person for a free meal in Major-General's eyes?


If that arrogant twit heard about this, he would definitely and inwardly curse at He Niancheng.


No wonder he wanted to bring Gu Qingjiu along. It was as if he was saying he wouldn't forget about her when it came to good food.


Before he got into a relationship, why didn't he realize that his Major-General was actually such a deranged person when in love?


"Please drop me off at my older brother's place then. I'll call you in the afternoon."


He Niancheng looked at Gu Qingjiu through the front mirror and made a hum of acknowledgment.


Huo Yingcheng drove the car out of the carpark, and he drove towards the city center of the capital.


The military university was located in a remote area, and it was around the size of a small town. Besides people from the university, people did not usually pass by the area.


Students of military universities were neither allowed out frequently nor could they purchase deliveries. And with that, businesses wouldn't flourish around the area.


During vacation, most students surged towards the city center.


There was a train station around the area but it was a distance away. Furthermore, it was also quite a distance from the train station to Gu Qingmo's university. Calling a cab would take around the same time.


This time, Huo Yingcheng was around to fetch her, so she naturally wouldn't be taking the train.


Gu Qingjiu dozed off along the way. Whenever it was like this, Gu Qingjiu would often doze off easily.


When they were about to reach, Huo Yingcheng woke Gu Qingjiu up and chuckled. "Qingjiu, don't forget about the gathering tonight. Your Chief Instructor and I will be waiting here for you later."


And he even emphasized on the word 'your.'


Gu Qingjiu pretended not to hear it and answered calmly.


After getting down from the car, she waved at the Chief Instructor. "Chief Instructor, Commander Huo, bye-bye!"


"Bye."


He Niancheng nodded back indifferently.


After entering the university, Gu Qingjiu rode a public bike to find Gu Qingmo.


Qi Xiaoran went to find her older brother that day as well, so Gu Qingjiu wondered if they would be able to meet.


That thought simply flashed across her mind. Gu Qingjiu parked the public bike at the same place. Soon enough, Gu Qingmo's call came.


"Qingjiu, where are you right now?"


"I'm already at your faculty. Come quickly, I wanna see sister-in-law!!"


Gu Qingjiu was already curious beyond measure about said sister-in-law for a long time, so she had to urge him.


"What are you in a rush about? I'm coming soon." Gu Qingmo snorted. "You're pretty proactive when it comes to meeting your sister-in-law!"


While he was speaking, Gu Qingjiu could vaguely hear the voices of men in the background.


Gu Qingmo casually added, "Oh, and I wanted to introduce you to my roommates the other time, but it didn't happen so I called them along this time."


Chapter 348: Meeting Sister-in-law (2)


"Sure, I don't mind."


She had no qualms about meeting Gu Qingmo's roommates. She also casually added, "Since I'm going to eat dinner with the Chief Instructor tonight."


Gu Qingmo was speechless.


He remained silent for a while and clutched his heart dramatically. "Gu Qingjiu, I'm so disappointed in you. I even told them that I would be bringing you to karaoke tonight!"


"What karaoke? As a student from a military school, how can I appear at such places?"


Gu Qingjiu replied confidently.


Gu Qingmo stopped bantering with her and quickly hung up.


After waiting for two minutes, Gu Qingjiu saw a group of people rowdily walking down from the other building.


Although rowdy, there were only six of them.


The six of them were all dressed fashionably and had incredible looks. Just one of them appearing was enough to wow people. For six of them to appear together, it was a healing sight for the eyes.


People along the way couldn't help but turn to catch a few more glances.


One of them was Gu Qingjiu's older brother, Gu Qingmo.


But before reaching Gu Qingjiu, Gu Qingmo waved goodbye to three of them.


Once he had walked over, Gu Qingmo ruffled Gu Qingjiu's hair and introduced her naturally to the other two. "This is my younger sister, Gu Qingjiu. You can just call her Qingjiu."


His tone was friendly, so it was evident that he held a good relationship with these two people.


"Qingjiu, these are my friends, Shao Lang and Jiang Shaohe."


The two guys in front of her were both sunshine boys. Shao Lang had more feminine looks while Jiang Shaohe had sharper eyes which made him look more like a playboy.


Both of them revealed a friendly smile towards her.


"Nice to meet you, Qingjiu!"


"Qingjiu's quite a looker."


The person who praised her was actually Shao Lang and the way he said it was a little amorous.


Gu Qingmo elbowed him. "Of course she's pretty, but you better not have any funny thoughts towards her."


Gu Qingjiu was a little surprised that the more feminine looking Shao Lang was actually the flirty one.


Meanwhile, Jiang Shaohe's smile was the more gentlemanly one.


But after talking to them for a while, Gu Qingjiu realized that both of them were not any good.


Just a group of trashy friends gathering together.


"Hello, older brother Shao Lang and older brother Jiang Shaohe."


Gu Qingjiu greeted smoothly before turning back to eye her brother. "Brother, where's sister-in-law?"


Gu Qingmo softly tapped her head. "Your sister-in-law is waiting for us outside. We will be meeting her soon. What are you in a rush for?"


Gu Qingjiu frowned and casually asked, "I thought you had another roommate?"


She casually asked, but Qi Yefan was probably taking care of Qi Xiaoran so it was only normal that he couldn't come.


"No idea."


Gu Qingmo not knowing what Qi Yefan was up to was unexpected. "Yefan said he had something on so he couldn't come. He's always busy so let's not bother."


The way Gu Qingmo talked about Qi Yefan was flippant as if it did not matter to him whether Qi Yefan came or not.


Gu Qingjiu knew the actual situation, but she did not talk about it as well.


All four of them found public bikes and rode out of campus. At the entrance, Gu Qingmo brought her in front of a striking red race car.


One look was enough to tell that it was one of those cars which cost a bomb.


Chapter 349: Meeting Sister-in-law (3)


From within the red racing car, a pretty girl clad in branded clothes stepped out.


She had an aura of haughtiness which was further accentuated by the sunglasses she was wearing.


For a moment, Gu Qingjiu thought that this was her brother's girlfriend.


But when Gu Qingmo saw this girl, he frowned. It was as if he was unhappy about something.


The pretty girl looked at Gu Qingmo and smiled crookedly at him. Her glance turned to Jiang Shaohe. "Let's go. You can take my car. Let's not make Wange wait for too long."


A wild smile appeared on Jiang Shaohe as he went over to loop his arm around her waist. "Qingmo, I was afraid that we wouldn't make it so I asked her to drive."


Gu Qingmo nodded moodily. "Okay, fine."


He tugged Gu Qingjiu's elbow to get into the car.


Even Gu Qingjiu could sense at this point that there was something iffy going on about the current situation.


Gu Qingmo didn't look like he shared a good relationship with this girl in front of him?


The pretty girl removed her sunglasses and sized Gu Qingjiu up. "Who's this? Gu Qingmo, are you not going to introduce us?"


Gu Qingmo's expression stiffened. Instead, it was Shao Lang who added, "This is Qingmo's younger sister, Gu Qingjiu. You can call her Qingjiu."


"Oh, from the name you can already tell that she's his biological sister!"


Liu Meigui's lips lifted meaningfully. Gu Qingjiu was about to politely greet her, but Gu Qingmo pulled her into the car instead.


It looked like this woman disgusted her brother.


But for that moment, Gu Qingjiu was still a little unclear about the situation.


Inside the car, through Jiang Shaohe's and the woman's conversations, Gu Qingjiu finally understood some things.


The owner of this red car was called Liu Meigui.


She was a student at Yannan University as well, she was Jiang Shaohe's girlfriend, and she was also... Gu Qingmo's girlfriend's best friend.


It turned out that there was such a complicated relationship between them.


Gu Qingjiu looked at her older brother's gloomy expression as he looked out the window. She could distinctly feel that he was not in a great mood. However, Gu Qingjiu was a little puzzled at why he would still take Liu Meigui's car.


"Gu Qingjiu, you're studying in a military university?"


Liu Meigui who was driving suddenly asked Gu Qingjiu.


Gu Qingjiu paused for a moment before replying plainly. "Yes."


A calm tone in her voice.


Liu Meigui looked at Gu Qingjiu from the front mirror and asked, "You got into the military university by yourself?"


Her way of questioning was a little strange and sounded a little rude.


Just when she was trying to figure out what she had meant, Liu Meigui suddenly jeered. "Your brother said that the camp you were from sent you to the university. So that would mean that you didn't take your high school examinations before entering the army. Does this count as getting through or not?"


Such an obvious insult caused Gu Qingmo to turn over. "Liu Meigui, what are you trying to say? Did my sister anger you in any way or what?!"


In just two statements, both Jiang Shaohe and Shao Lang revealed shocked expressions as they sensed the brewing war. Just when they were about to say something, Liu Meigui ridiculed them once again. "What are you so worked up about? There's nothing wrong with what I said! You were the one who said it at first, so what's wrong with others saying it?"


"Did I mean it that way? What has my sister getting into a university got to do with you? Pullover! I'll go there with her on my own. I don't wish to see you at the gathering where Wange is meeting her."


If it wasn't for Jiang Shaohe, he wouldn't tolerate this woman. She even actually had the audacity to mock Qingjiu.


Gu Qingmo could no longer hold it in!


The moment he said that Liu Meigui's expression stiffened and she stared at Gu Qingmo with a terrifying glare.


Chapter 350: Meeting Sister-in-law (4)


Before Gu Qingjiu could wrap her head around the situation, Gu Qingmo had already dragged her out of the car.


This Liu Meigui also pissed Gu Qingjiu off that she wanted to retort, but Gu Qingmo was faster to react than her.


Liu Meigui wasn't one to be trifled with, stomping on the brakes at once.


His other two roommates stepped out of the car as well.


"Qingmo, don't mind her. You know Meigui's temper. Let's go over first so that Wange doesn't have to wait for too long."


The person who tried persuading Qingmo was actually Liu Meigui's boyfriend, Jiang Shaohe.


After speaking, he added softly, "You already know her bad temper. If she complains about you to Wange, the two of you will argue again!"


From the looks of it, Jiang Shaohe was actually more inclined towards Gu Qingmo rather than defending his girlfriend, Liu Meigui.


"I don't want that either." Gu Qingmo frowned as he tugged Gu Qingjiu's elbow. He sneered, "I didn't stoop to her level in the past so she could say whatever she wants, but she shouldn't have dragged my younger sister into this."


Gu Qingjiu was touched beyond measure when she heard that.


Before Gu Qingmo poured a bucket of cold water over her. "Only I can diss my younger sister!"


Gu Qingjiu was speechless.


She shall take back her words.


"Sure, sure, sure." The two people simply treated Gu Qingmo as a person shrouded in resentment and didn't try persuading anymore. Shao Lang said, "Let's call a cab instead of taking her car then."


The four of them were outside while Liu Meigui was sitting alone in the car.


Although they spoke in low tones, Liu Meigui could roughly guess what they were talking about.


Her exquisite eyes darkened as she marked this hatred in her heart.


She grasped the steering wheel tightly and drove away without a single word.


Jiang Shaohe looked at the car speeding away and patted the back of his head with a troubled look. "Now we can go ahead and call a cab since Meigui already drove away."


"It's not like you don't have a car. Why did you have to ask her to fetch us and make things like this?"


Shao Lang rolled his eyes at Jiang Shaohe while the latter simply and helplessly shrugged.


From the start until the end, Gu Qingjiu had no idea what was happening.


After getting on the cab which they hailed, Gu Qingjiu softly asked Gu Qingmo about the situation.


Gu Qingmo went over it plainly. "It's nothing much. She's my girlfriend's best friend, but I don't like her."


The finality in his statement was clear and even Jiang Shaohe didn't deny it.


Jiang Shaohe turned over. He didn't look angry and instead laughed a little. "I'm here too. Leave me some face, Qingmo."


Gu Qingmo snorted. "Aren't the two of you just playing around?"


"But we still have to pretend that we have a good relationship on the surface!" Jiang Shaohe turned back, looking like he wasn't too bothered. But then, Gu Qingjiu could tell that something was off.


Do people in a relationship still play around?


But even so, after knowing that Liu Meigui was Gu Qingmo's girlfriend's best friend, she suddenly stopped having such high expectations for her sister-in-law.


As if knowing what Gu Qingjiu was thinking, he explained immediately, "Don't let your thoughts run. Your sister-in-law is not someone like that. She's completely different from Liu Meigui."


Gu Qingjiu could trust Gu Qingmo's judgment.


After all, he was her older brother. It wasn't possible that he had found someone who had low EQ.


Furthermore, Gu Qingmo had always been talking about said sister-in-law for a long time, sparking the flames of curiosity which she had for her once again.
