At her mother's funeral, her father brought home an illegitimate daughter.
She looked all good and soft.
I sneered and looked behind me at my brother.
He had a fury in his eyes and a dangerous smell around him.
I walked over to him and spoke slowly:
"Take it easy, don't play dead, at least save your sister's breath for me."
01
I was drugged at my father's birthday party.
When I opened my eyes again, my hands and feet were tied, and in front of me were several strange, strong men.
They stared at me with lewd smiles, their eyes full of shameless nastiness.
In a trembling voice, I told them that I was the first lady of the Su Group and that my father could give them a lot of money if they let me go.
I didn't realize they were laughing even harder, and squeezing my jaw tightly, they said:
"Missy? How do you think we managed to kidnap you from your villa to this deserted mountain thanks to your father, oh yeah, and your wonderful sister!"
My eyes widened in disbelief at what they were saying, and I added, "I, I have a younger brother who is the successor of the Gu Group, and also, also has money."
They exchanged glances and teased, "You mean Gu Nan? The one who just died in a car accident?"
Gu Nan is dead? The Gu Nan who followed me around since childhood and would sweetly call me sister is dead!
The taut strings in my head snapped abruptly, and my whole body lost the strength to resist.
Suddenly, a car came straight through the door.
Gu Nan got out of the car with a knife, covered in blood, and killed his way to me.
After untying me, he hugged me and said, "It's okay, I killed everyone who deserved to die for you, including those two from the Soo family."
After saying that, he fell asleep on my shoulder, and I realized that he was bleeding from multiple wounds on his waist.
I cried out for him to wake up, when suddenly the man he had just cut down got up again and rushed forward with a knife in his hand.
I turned to block it, the stabbing pain in my back came as expected, and then I collapsed on Gu Nan's back gradually losing consciousness.
It was as if I heard a siren in the blur.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back in my bed in my own villa.
Not feeling the slightest bit uncomfortable all over, I grabbed my cell phone next to the bed and looked at it.
The time shown on it told me that I was back on the day of my mother's funeral three years ago!
I flew out of bed and ran downstairs to pound on Gu Nan's room door.
A few moments later, the door opened.
Gu Nan was standing in front of me alive and I was so excited that I hugged him and refused to let go.
Suddenly, his trembling voice came to his ears, "Sister, is that you back?"
I was shocked, Gu Nan's parents died when he was very young, our families are family friends, so he practically grew up in my house.
Even though I was two years older than him, he used to call me Su Ching.
It wasn't until my father brought Su Wan back and they were preparing to get married that he started calling me sister again after Su Wan.
My eyes burst into tears and I cried, "Well, it's good to have my sister back, we're all back."
After collecting myself, I asked Gu Nan what had happened.
Only then did I learn that it was my father, Su Mingan, and Su Wan who teamed up to design everything, with the intention of embezzling all the property in Gu Nan's and my name, and wanting to take both of our lives.
But what a good father and sister I have!
In vain, I treat them with sincerity, behind the scenes for Su Mingan quietly manage the Su family industry, on the half-sister Su Wan is also like a sister like love, do not think that it will come to such an end.
Gu Nan and I looked at each other speechlessly, I saw deep hatred in his eyes, and I was the same in his eyes.
So next, let's make this great show called revenge, sing a little louder!
02
Today is the funeral of her mother, and in her previous life Su Wan came to the Su family on this day.
As expected, after the funeral, her father brought her in again and announced on the spot that Su Wan was his daughter.
She hid behind her father in a good and soft manner, looking pathetic.
In my previous life, Gu Nan and I were both fooled by her face before we let our guard down and ended up in a tragic death.
I couldn't help but sneer and turn my head to look at my brother behind me.
He had a fury in his eyes and a dangerous smell around him.
I walked slowly over to him and said in a voice only he could hear:
"Take it easy, don't play dead, at least save your sister's breath for me."
The corners of Gu Nan's lips were slightly hooked, and he raised his eyes inadvertently, filling them with a seductive aura.
He had inherited his parents' excellent physical features, with eyebrows like ink paintings, eyes like stars, natural smiling lips under a high nose, and a straight posture, making him a recognized handsome man in his circle.
Only to see him walk to Su Wan's side, leaning down and pressing his voice, he said, "Sister Su Wan, welcome to the Su family, I am very much looking forward to the next few days I will spend with you."
Su Mingan's expression flickered as he watched him thoughtfully from the sidelines.
Gu Nan also noticed, then turned to Su Mingan and said, "Uncle, Su Wan's sister just came back and doesn't know many people, why don't I organize a welcome party for her, or take her to recognize people."
He spoke with such sincerity and enthusiasm that my father, who had not the slightest doubt, set him to work on it.
Seven days later, a big party was being held at the villa on the outskirts of town.
And the main character of this party was none other than Su Wan.
Gu Nan and I sat by the bar and watched as young men and women surrounded Su Wan with words of flattery, which she was obviously very flattered by.
"Su Wan sister is studying what major ah, look at this temperament than actress still actress it."
Su Wan's face turned red, and she said daintily, "Oops, no, I grew up learning dance, so I took the dance academy in college, too."
"No wonder, look at people studying art is good temperament, unlike us, from childhood to learn what financial and legal management, and later to take over the company. It's better to have a sister who is raised outside and just gets the money and is free and easy."
The crowd began to laugh, Su Wan, even if she was stupid, she should have heard that this was flirting with her, the smile instantly froze on her face, embarrassed to the extreme.
I looked at Gu Nan, and his face was faintly unreadable.
In no time at all, someone relieved Su Wan and the awkwardness of the scene passed.
Then I don't know who suddenly suggested that Su Wan give everyone a dance to enjoy.
She had wanted to express herself but had pretended to be reserved and was hesitant to go on stage.
Gu Nan raised an eyebrow at me with his wine, then slowly walked over and said:
"Sister, do you think that we rough people don't know about art, that we're so stingy when it comes to dancing?"
Su Wan's face was shocked and she quickly shook her head, then walked to the stage and jumped up.
The stage was connected to the pool, which was already wet and slippery, and before she could jump twice, Su Wan fell headfirst into the water.
The pool wasn't deep, but Suwan didn't know how to swim, and when she didn't stand still, she lost her balance and waved her hands in the water, begging us to save her.
Gu Nan stood at the edge of the pool, coldly looking at Su Wan, who was struggling in the water, and raised his glass to clink with me across the room.
Those present were the people Gu Nan had invited, one more savvy than the other.
Gu's crown prince was coldly watching from the sidelines at the moment, who was still willing to go down and save the day.
I've seen Su Wan flopping around in the water long enough, and if we keep playing it up, it's time for someone to die.
Then he raised his head at the pool, signaling that Gu Nan could save the day.
He took a sip of the wine in his hand, then turned and nodded to someone in the crowd.
The next second, a man jumped into the pool and saved the physically exhausted Su Wan, giving her artificial respiration in the process.
Meanwhile, Gu Nan announced that the party was over and everyone left.
After a while, Su Wan slowly opened her eyes, and Gu Nan rushed forward to show concern:
"Sister Su Wan, you scared me, I didn't realize you didn't know how to swim, it's all my fault."
It was said with such affection that I wondered if he had taken the time to take an acting class.
Gu Nan said and helped Su Wan up, then told her:
"The man who saved your life is the young master of the Huo family. His father is someone Uncle Su has always wanted to befriend, but he hasn't found the right opportunity. Why don't you go to his door and thank him for saving your life, Uncle Su's birthday is next month, if you can help him get on the Huo family's good side, he'll be very happy."
I bit down hard on my lower lip to keep myself from laughing out loud.
As far as I know, Huo Feng, the young master of the Huo family, is vacationing abroad at the moment.
However, the current Su Wan was still simple in the end, and she answered as soon as she was fooled by Gu Nan.
After he sent Su Wan back to her room to rest, he came back to my side.
By this time I was a little tipsy and stroked his head, favorably:
"Our Nan has grown up and has more ideas, so we don't need sister to worry anymore."
Gu Nan's brows furrowed as he snatched the wine from my hand, then carried me back to my room and gently placed me on the bed.
He pulled the covers for me, then leaned in and whispered in my ear, "Su Qing, we're not related by blood, so don't always treat me like a brother."
With that he turned and left, and before he left he spoke to me again:
"Three days from now, I'll treat you to a good show."
03
These days I am still the same as before, behind Su Mingan, taking care of the Su family estate for him.
Although Su Mingan is my father, but he himself does not have any business talent, but only in my mother's business start-up difficult time, all the money on the body to invest in.
But as far as I know, that little money was a drop in the bucket, and then it was Uncle Gu who stepped in to help my mother.
Nonetheless, his mother was moved by him and ended up marrying him and having children and everything that comes with a successful career.
After my mother's death, I wanted to go straight into the company's management, but was opposed by Su Mingan.
The fine print is that I'm too young to hold down the fort, so I might as well manage everything behind his back, and when he retires I can just take over the whole company.
I agreed, but I don't want to think about what the end result was.
This time, I'll take back everything that was mine!
I rarely get to see Gu Nan these days, I'm busy with the company and he, I think, is preparing for that great show he talked about a few days ago.
Three days later, I received a message from Gu Nan inviting me to afternoon tea.
I know the address on it, it's Gu Nan's top mansion on the west side of the city, he bought it privately from someone, no one else has been there yet except me.
I organized what I had on hand and drove over there.
I frowned slightly as I drove into his garage.
Isn't the pink supercar next to Su Wan's car, why is she here?
Just as I parked the car, I saw Gu Nan walking over, he opened the car door for me in a gentlemanly manner and then took me up to the top floor of the villa through the elevator.
"Why is Suwan here?" I asked just as I entered the elevator.
Gu Nan let out a laugh and tilted his head to ask me, "What are you, jealous?"
I glared back before he slowly explained, "I thought I said I'd treat you to a good show, it's more convenient since this is my home turf and no one else knows about it."
This was true, and Gu Nan had previously requested that the top floor of the villa be changed to a mode that required a face swipe to enter and exit, making it even more secretive.
I sat down on the sofa and pulled my long, loose hair up casually, seeing Gu Nan go to make me coffee, and then stumped my head to ask:
"So what did you call me here to see? Is it to show me the new coffee pull?"
I managed to laugh at my own humor.
A few moments later, Gu Nan sat down next to me with his coffee and turned on the TV in front of both of us.
The screen instantly appeared to write that it could not be reviewed.
There was also that rising and falling sound that made my ears red and I instantly twisted my head to scold Gu Nan:
"You don't learn at your young age, but you even tried to drag me to watch a movie with you, do you still want to be ashamed?"
He broke my hand over my ear and chuckled, "I'm only two years younger than you too, and by the way, take a good look at who's really on the screen."
Hearing this I turned to look, and the woman on the screen wasn't Su Wan.
"You drugged them?" I asked him suspiciously.
Gu Nan bristled and turned off the TV before saying unhappily:
"I'm not willing to use any dirty tricks, but I just let Huo Jia Ming give her a little taste of sweetness, and she sent herself to the door."
Huo Jia Ming? He's really from the Huo family? How come I've never heard of it.
"What's the deal with this man? Isn't he someone you hired?"
Gu Nan shook his head, then told me that Huo Jiaming was an illegitimate child, just like Su Wan, but Mrs. Huo was shrewd and strong, and he was never able to enter the Huo family's door.
When Gu Nan asked someone to find him, he was being chased after for gambling debts.
After taking care of the debt collectors for him, he was promised a generous payment to approach Su Wan in Huo Feng's capacity, which created this picture today.
"Why go to all this trouble? Why not just find someone?" Could it be that Gu Nan finds this more interesting?
A bastard son and a bastard daughter are thought to be a good match.
Gu Nan suddenly reached out and gathered my broken hair behind my ear, then said in an ambiguous tone:
"Su Wan is very satisfied with my arrangement, since this is the case, I have to collect some interest from her as well. After Su Mingan's birthday, you can prepare to slowly take over the Su Clan."
I don't know what he is selling, but it's not unlike what I'm thinking, except that there is still a lack of opportunity to take over Su.
So at Su Mingan's birthday party, the opportunity came to the door on its own.
04
The Su family villa, at the moment, was hosting Su Mingan's birthday banquet.
All those present were businessmen and celebrities and friends and relatives.
Su Wan was wearing a light pink bustier dress, gentle and moving, talking and laughing with the crowd downstairs, afraid that others would not know that the Su family had such a daughter.
When the time came, Su Mingan appeared on the stage holding a wine glass and began to talk about his journey of founding Su's over the years.
I nearly threw up in my mouth when I heard it from down there, and to think he had the nerve to take credit for my mother's work on himself.
After Su Mingan finished speaking, there was a round of applause underneath, and then Su Wan walked up.
Gu Nan and I looked at each other and smiled, secretly saying that the climax of this birthday banquet was finally coming.
Su Wan held up the microphone and softly said, "Today is daddy's birthday, as a daughter I have prepared a gift for him as well."
After a moment's pause of pretense, she looked at Su Mingan and continued:
"Daddy, you've always wanted to work with the Huo family, and the young master of the Huo family, who knows me as well as I do, has already agreed to do so, and he's even recorded a birthday message for you."
So in everyone's expectant gaze, Su Wan opened the projector behind her.
The crowd was in an uproar when the image came out, and Su Wan turned to look when she heard the sound, and her face instantly paled.
Because what was displayed on the screen was exactly what I had seen earlier at Gu Nan's private residence, the image of her copulating with someone.
Only after editing, only Su Wan's front face was revealed.
Su Wan was anxious to turn off the big screen, but no matter how she pressed it, it didn't work.
I stood beside Gu Nan, looking at the small remote control he held in his hand, the corner of my mouth unconsciously hooked up.
In the end, it was Su Mingan who went on stage and smashed the projector before the once out-of-control scene subsided.
Su Wan whitened her face and picked up the microphone to explain, "I and Huo family young master, we, we have been dating for some time, it is the two loves that ......
Before he could finish his words, he saw a man arrive late and said disdainfully to Su Wan:
"How come I don't know when the young master of the Huo family fell in love with a private daughter who is not worthy of the name?"
The man has handsome features, clear-cut angles, wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses, wearing a black suit, upright posture, imposing.
I turned to look, this is not the overseas vacation Huo Feng, he has nothing to do with my family, why would he come here?
I poked Gu Nan, and he only smiled at me without saying anything else.
Huo Feng speaks bluntly, I like it very much but some people don't like it.
Su Wan asked sternly with a dark face, "Who are you, this is between me and the young master of the Huo family, why should I tell you?"
Everyone was happy at this comment.
Gu Nan spoke up at the right time, ''Sister Su Wan doesn't recognize him? He's the young master of the Huo family you're talking about, Huo Feng."
Su Wan realized that she had slept with the wrong person and was so shocked that she could not accept the blow for a moment and fainted.
Su Mingan hurriedly called for someone to help her away, then walked over to Huo Feng and opened his mouth with a shameful old face:
"The first thing I want to do is to make sure that my daughter is not deceived, so don't worry about her, I'll bring her to the door to make amends.
Huo Feng was also nonchalant, coldly returning, "A visit to the door is not necessary, as I said, the illegitimate daughter is ultimately not allowed to be on the stage, Boss Su may not want to spoil Su's family business, which has been accumulated for decades, because of her alone."
Saying that and not looking at Su Mingan's increasingly ugly face, he walked straight to me and said to me after sizing me up:
"I wonder if Ms. Soo Ching is free to have dinner with me?"
Gu Nan stepped forward and blocked in front of me and said, "She's not available, but I do have time to accompany Mr. Huo for a meal."
Huo Feng raised his hand to hold up his glasses, and after a moment said, "Good."
05
I looked at the two men across from me with swords drawn, and instantly regretted following Gu Nan over a little.
On the way, I asked Gu Nan if he knew why Huo Feng showed up at Su's house, and he told me that he had invited him.
The invitation was no other than the video of Su Wan and Huo Jia Ming's interaction.
Huo Feng toyed with his wine glass and slowly spoke, "It seems that the person who invited me here is not Ms. Su, but General Manager Gu."
Gu Nan returned to him: "I'm right, that invitation is a bit hot, please forgive me, Mr. Huo. But it seems that you don't care about your bastard son."
Huo Feng refrained from responding, just wanting to knife a person whose eyes couldn't be hidden, which he was now.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, I spoke lazily:
"Mr. Huo, let's not speak in the dark, Huo Jiaming impersonated you and bullied my sister, if this matter spreads out, I'm afraid it will greatly affect Huo's stock price.
I've heard that you're not vacationing abroad lately, but you're negotiating a big business deal, wouldn't it be a shame if this caused the Huo family's business to go sour? How about ......"
Huo Feng leaned back in his chair calmly and looked at me, "How about?"
I continued, "Why don't Mr. Huo sign over to me the project that Su Ming'an originally wanted to contract, so that I can guarantee that that video definitely doesn't have a single thing to do with the Huo family."
No matter how bad Huo Jiaming is, it is still Master Huo's seed, and once a scandal breaks out, the Huo family will also follow the bad luck.
This was why Gu Nan had taken the trouble to find Huo Jia Ming.
I looked at Huo Feng with an obscure expression and thought he was going to refuse before he said in a tone that carried a sense of playfulness:
"It seems that Ms. Su and I are the same kind of people, capable of scheming even against our own sister to achieve our goals."
I laughed coldly and replied back to him, "Mr. Huo is joking, how can I say that it was your brother who counted on my sister, it has nothing to do with me."
He seemed to hate the word 'brother' and instantly changed his face, not even wanting to eat.
But he agreed to my terms before he left and officially signed on another day.
My hanging heart finally dropped back into my stomach.
Looking towards Gu Nan, his face was faint or unreadable.
I was in a good mood and pinched his cheek like I did when I was a kid and said:
"Our Nan has helped my sister a lot this time, tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"
Gu Nan thought for a moment, the corner of his lips slightly hooked, then one hand tightly grasped both of my wrists, while the other pulled my chair towards him.
He came up to my eyes, his thin lips slightly opened, I could even smell the faint aroma of red wine on his mouth, my heart skipped a beat and I didn't dare to look into his eyes again.
"Sister? Do you like that title very much?" He paused for a moment before continuing, "So, sis, you'll give me whatever reward I want?"
Gu Nan's call of 'Sister' made my body tingle and I unconsciously nodded.
Watching him move a little closer, I had no luck closing my eyes.
What I imagined didn't happen, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw Gu Nan sitting up straight and looking at me with a bad smile on his face.
I couldn't keep my face up and raised my legs to run, but I ran into Huo Feng.
He was leaning lazily against the door, obviously having seen everything just now, and I frowned as I asked, "Why hasn't Mr. Huo left yet?"
He pointed to the jacket on the back of the chair and said lightly, "I came back to get my things, and I didn't happen to see a good show, so no wonder Mr. Gu is taking pains to plan for you, so it's the drunkard's heart that's not in it."
Gu Nan took his jacket and walked over to hand it to Huo Feng: "Drinking alcohol hurts the body, especially from other people's homes, Mr. Huo shouldn't be greedy na."
These two were looking at each other like knives were flying out of their eyes, what an enemy.
After sending Huo Feng away, Gu Nan and I also went back to Su's house.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Su Mingan sitting aggressively on the sofa.
I know, it's about to rise to the occasion.
06
"What took you so long to come back after what happened to your sister!" Su Mingan yelled at me.
I didn't want to tear my face off early, but I didn't expect him to have the face to get angry, so I immediately disliked him:
"The one Su Wan offended is the Huo family's young master, she can afford to mess with us, but not the Su Clan, father has the time to take it out on me, so why don't you give Su Wan a good disciplining?"
Su Mingan's face was ugly, "You you you! How can you talk to me, you unfilial daughter, it's all because your mom is used to it, not a bit of upbringing."
My blood rushed to my head. How dare he mention my mom?
I just wanted to speak, but I didn't expect Gu Nan to be angrier than me, and said in a ster
